Here if we take the Raashis to be Static aspect of the zodiac, the Bhaavas are the Dynamic aspects of the zodiac.

The first house is the Rising Raashi, The forth house is the yet to Rise and is be ow the horizon. !n fact it is right be ow the feet.

%aharishi says to %aitreya that the physi1ue, appearance, inte ect "a so the brain#, the comp e3ion of the body, strength and vigour, weakness, happiness, grief and the inner nature of the person is to be determined from the 9agna or 5scendant or the )st bhava. The )st house, known as the 9agna or 5scendant, a ways rises in the =ast at the time of birth. Surya, being the naisargika atmakaraka, becomes a very vita graha for the )st house and his strength and p acement is to be reckoned carefu y. 5 strong and we p aced 9agna ord wi bestow ong and 1ua itative ife. The )st house is the fountainhead of the entire ife of the native. The )st indicates the birth of the person and how and in what form and physi1ue Bod has wanted him>her to be born. Thus the )st bhava and the ord of the )st bhava, who is a so ca ed the <9agnesh< are very basics and important to the reading of the chart. =ach of the ), houses of the chart has its significance and each of the significance is c ose y inked to the )st house i.e., birth. 5s per the ka apurusha, the )st bhava is indicative of brain, which is known for inte igence, we can safe y conc ude that Brihaspati, who represents Bod, is seated on the head of man and the p ace is known as <Brahmapeetha< or the seat of Brihaspati. !t is Brihaspati who knows and sees a as it is he who has the supreme inte igence and this supreme inte igence is Bod. Hence Buru is known as the one representing Bod in the chart. Thus, his p acement becomes vita y important to ana yze the inte igence and know edge, disposition and the genera we being of the person.

!f the ord of the )st bhava is either p aced in or aspects or has anything to do with the -rd, (th and Mth houses, the native of the chart yearns for know edge * he is a ways in 1uest for know edge * and he is ca ed a 4Dheemantah4. !n other words, the native is said to possess 4Dheemantah :oga4. ?hi e, the reverse is true on y in the case where the ord of the (th bhava is either p aced or aspects the )st bhava.

The /th bhava indicates mother, mother and, re atives, property, vehic es and other conveyances, peace of mind, prosperity of se f, heart, forma education, genera happiness, home and happiness. The /th house, a ong with the )st, .th and )0th houses, is one of the four 1uadrants or ang es and it happens to be one of the pi ars of a person<s chart. The first is the agna or birth, whi e the .th is the descendent of the agna where the person comes down to the basics of desire. The )0th is the sky, where one c imbs according to karma, whi e /th is the nadir * <pata < * where one finds himse f after the fa from the sky "karma#. Thus, the 1uadrants are very important houses of the horoscope. The /th is a very vita house inasmuch as it dea s with one<s mother and genera happiness of ife. The chi d, in its initia years of ife, is fu y under the protective cover of the mother. !t is mother who understands everything re ated to the chi d. !t is she who provides her chi d food, she ter, and succor to ife. The chi d a so ooks for the mother whenever it fee s hungry or insecure. ?hen man fa s from the heights of g ory "the )0th * karmabhava# nobody e3cept his mother who sti wishes the very best for him and provides him the succor. The mother protects even unru y and sinfu chi dren. Such is the b ind, unbiased and true ove of mother for the chi d. 9ord &rishna has therefore right y ca ed 4%atrubhava DevtaT< meaning the mother * chi d re ationship to be a re ationship between the individua and Bod. Therefore, the /th bhava, in the form of mother<s ove and re ationship, estab ishes the ove for Bod. !t is the 9ord who he ps us at the weakest time ike the mother who he ps the chi d when it is most vu nerab e. Sri 5di Shankara has, therefore, said that, mother<s b essing was of vita importance for the attainment of moksha. He saidP 4Batistvam gatistvam tvameka bhavaniT. !t is the b essings of mother that actua y provides one the speed "gati# in the direction and desire for setting out on the path for spiritua ism.

!t is a so because mother "a so Bod# is the one who provides <ashraya< * she ter * to the person that we see the ac1uisition of anded property and house"s# both in the native and

and e sewhere, inc uding foreign ands, from the /th house. ; acement of the ord of /th in @th wou d indicate ac1uisition of property in other p aces, whi e its p acement in ),th wou d mean ac1uisition of property in foreign ands. !t a so indicates anything that is imbibed or received from the mother. The first anguage that we speak * our mother tongue isK the p ace where we are born * mother andK the ove for our cu ture and mother and is a so to be seen from the /th house. 5ny inimica or papa graha in the /th affects to that e3tent the symbo ization of the /th house. The /th a so ru es the heart. 5fter a , ove * true ove * is possib e on y if there is a heart "conscious mind# to do so. True is nothing but pursuit of the oved one with heart and sou . 5ny benevo ence or arrogance of the person<s heart, whether a person is good or bad at heart, is to be seen from the strength and p acement of the /th house, its ord and other grahas in it. ; acement of Rahu cou d give a hard>stout heart. !t cou d a so indicate heart disease>aff ictions to heart depending on its p acement etc., whi e p acement of a benefic ike Aenus cou d indicate passionate ove and a very kind mother. Thus, aff ictions to the heart, both physica and emotiona , are to be seen from the /th house. Thus, the /th a so becomes the house of happiness and grief. 'o aff ictions or good p acements cou d give a genera sense of attainment of happiness and ess emotiona strains. This estab ishes a c ear connection between the heart "/th# and the mind ")st#. The genera sense of happiness prevai s on y when the desires are fu fi ed.

The /th house a so dea s with forma education. !t indicates the e3tent and type of forma education that one wou d get in ife. !t indicates the schoo , co ege or institution, the ength ti which one wi have forma education. ?hi e presence of Rahu in the /th wi a so indicate genera defiance in studies and disturbances to mother etc., it wou d a so indicate an inc ination and even good contro over foreign anguages * something which is uncommon to the native.

5 modes of conveyances, of course * with the sambandha of Aenus who is the naisargika karaka for vehic es>conveyances, is to be studied and predicted from the /th hosue. ?hi e presence or aspect of Aenus on the /th wou d mean attainment and en$oyment of materia p easures of a good things of ife, presence of aspect of grahas ike Rahu, &etu, Sani wou d mean denia or destruction of the p easures of the wor d resu ting in ack of genera happiness. Thus we may say that the resu ts indicated by any graha in the /th fructify fast, whi e that of those in the )st or .th wi be fe t on y in the ater part of ife.

The genera sense of happiness to an individua comes on y when the ac1uisitions are se fmade. Though we know the need and importance of karma ")0th# we sti tend to run after the comforts for se f. !t is when we achieve these comforts in the wor d of maya that we fee satisfied. !t is this proud sense of satisfaction on having achieved something materia that gives happiness to everybody.

8hi dren are the hope for the future of parents and a so the generation. 5s parents gamb e,<specu ate our future by way ooking for assistance and achievements from our chi dren in our ater years.

The Mth house indicates materna unc e, doubts about death, enemies, u cers, step mother, punishment etc.

The Mth bhava, a ong with the -rd, )0th and ))th is a <Hpachaya<. !t is the house of service "work#. Mth is a so the house of punishment, depending on whether the work performed is good or bad, as per the princip e * TTanau Tanah Danda Hara4 "Mth and ))th "Tanau Tanah means Mth to Mth# are the houses of punishment and reward#, wherein <Danda< means punishment and <Hara< means gaining victory. The 9ord gains victory over the person by showing him the rewards. However, the amount of punishment and reward to be meted out to a person is pure y the know edge of Bod as it is on y he who can determine it. The Mth is the -rd from /th, which is the house of mother. Hence materna unc es are seen from the Mth house. Mth is the house of enemies. The strength and weakness of the enemy is to be seen from here. !t is considered a ways good to have a weak or debi itated Mth ord as it indicates that the enemy is weak and cou d be won over. However, to defeat the enemy the person wou d re1uire a strong .th house. The Mth is a so the house of service. This determines whether the person wou d be a <karmayogi< or not. !t a so determines whether the person wou d render service or wou d run a business and in what manner and circumstances. To determine the karma of the Mth house it is important to study the )0th from it i.e., the -rd house "Bhavatbhavam princip e# which determines the karma of the service rendered by the person. 4Shramdan4 "rendering service in terms of physica abour in temp es or p aces of worship and worship to 4Shani4 *the ord for abour# wi rectify aff ictions to the Mth house. The Mth a so happens to be the ,nd from the (th house, which is the house of chi dren. !t, thus, sustains the ife of the chi d. The food habits and type of food eaten by the chi d can be estimated from the Mth house. The Mth house indicates servants too. !t a so indicates whether the person himse f wi do his work or wi get done from the servants. =ven the faithfu ness><mora ity of the servants cou d be determined from the Mth house.

5fter the )st house "9agna>5scendant#, the .th house or Saptam Bhava is the second most important house. Gne * because it is the e3act opposite of the )st "5scendant#, hence it shou d be the descendant of the native<s 9agna, which indicates the &ama "desire# of the nativeK and two * it is a strong contro er for the /th "Sukhasthan# and )0th "&armasthan# houses "being a pada to the two houses on the princip e of Bhavat Bhavam#. .th is a very vita house of the chart in many aspects. !t indicates the inner desires, carna desires, ob$ective of ife, character, va ue systems of ife etc. .th, being the house that indicates the private parts, is a so very important to determine the se3>gender of the native. Hence it is a so known as the <&a atra< meaning that which indicates the se3 and se3ua instincts of the person. .th is a very important house a so because it provides the abi ity to bring forth new ife in the form of progeny * it gives form to a new atma that deve ops as the chi d. The organs "private parts# are basica y used for procreative activity. The genera we being of a person cou d be determined on how good or bad the .th house is and what effects it has on the /th and )0th houses of the person. Thus, .th is the <naisargika< bhava of 9ord Shiva who is the 9ord for <&a yanam< meaning we being "9ord Brahma is for <5yu< meaning ife> ongevity whi e %aha Aishnu is for <Dhanam< for sustenance#. 5s the .th dea s with inner desires and procreation, it shows rebirth. !t is a so the @th house " ongevity>de ay# for the ),th house "moksh>emancipatio n#. !t cou d be known from this bhava whether, when, where and why wi an individua be reborn. !n fact, there is a practice of preparing 4%rityu &und is4 which is prepared at the time of death and the .th bhava of this chart wou d indicate e3act y the nature, why, when and where about the rebirth. 5 <papa< graha in the .th wou d indicate <;unar$anma< "rebirth#. UHpayaP ;rayer to 9ord Shiva wi he p in c eaning the dosha of papa graha.V How is the .th re ated to the /th "Sukhasthan# "the bhava for peace of mind, desires etc.#D <!chha< "desire>&ama# is the u timate source of a prob ems. !f one had no desires, e3cept attaining Bod, there wou d not be scope for any sorrow. !t is on y the desire to achieve something, to atch on to something, an emotiona attachment to something that causes the sorrow when it is either not attained or is ost. 'ow, desire for something is ove or kama. The purity or impurity of desire determines the 1uantum of sorrow. Desire to attain Bod is, perhaps, the purest form of ove>kama. 5gain, &ama can be for different purposes and with different grades>degrees of intensity. Desire for wife "cohabiting with one woman * as practised and e3amp e set by 9ord Rama#, chi dren, home and their we being is a genuine and proper desire and to sustain them one needs money. Hence the need for a $ob>&arma and hence the sorrow when you fa short of resources for meeting those needs. Here comes the re ativity between the .th, /th and the )0th. But, if the same ove were to turn into ust "carna desire * an anima instinct for se3# then the desire is improper. The higher such improper and uncontro ed desires the more the sorrows that one e3periences. .th is a so the house that indicates the overcoming of enemies or being van1uished by them. 'ow, when does a person have enemiesD Gn y a person who has something which others do not, or, when somebody desires to attain something which others too are aiming, does one create and have enemies. However, if a person were simp y desirous of attaining Bod, he is not going to have enemies. !t is on y materia istic things>wor d y things, which attract enemies. 5 beggar is most ike y not to have enemies, whi e a rich man is bound to have more enemies because what a beggar doesn<t have a rich man has.

Here comes the re ation between the Mth and the .th bhava. The Mth indicates enemies and the .th indicates van1uishing enemies or being van1uished by them. 5 weak Mth 9ord and a strong .th bhava is sure to van1uish the enemies, whi e in the converse the native is defeated.

.th bhava of the naisargika bha chakra is <Aani$ sthana< meaning the house of trade and commerce. ?hat is the aim behind the karmaD !f it is to earn money, then the second from the karma house ")0th house# i.e., the ))th house and its trines come into focus. 5nd of these, the .th happens to be the )0th from the naisargika )0th bhava of the chart which indicates the karma to be performed and the actua desire for the performance of the karma "to earn money for sustenance#. Thus, the .th a so becomes the house of business and being the naisargika house for T?ife>5rdhangni< it a so becomes the bhava for determining the compatibi ity with partners in business.

Therefore, the .th is tru y ref ective of the inner se f of the person. !t is ref ective of the <5yana< of the person. 5n inappropriate ordship>p acement>rasi of the .th bhava indicates the e3tent to which a person bears a character, disposition in ife, whether the person wi be reborn or wi attain moksha. 5ny aff iction to the .th wou d be detrimenta to the deve opment of the person as a good socia being. Hence the .th is a very vita bhava which ho ds the key to success or fai ure of ife.

Thus, to determine the strengths and resu ts of native<s chart, the .th, .th 9ord and is Darapada "5.# p acement become very significant and important. %ars in the .th !ndicates &u$a Dosha "this is due to the anger of Deva Rishi 'arad * HpayaP ;rayer to Hanuman$i is the so e remedy#. The p acement of %ars in .th indicates war or T:udh< in ife "as may be seen from 9ord Rama<s ife# which means a ife fu of strugg es with fre1uent separation from wife. This cou d mean a separation, incompatib e natures, angry nature>hot constitution of the wife>business partner, disharmony in marita ife * which means a genera y tense and strained persona ife. However, the positive signs of have %ars in the .th wou d mean that the person is very strong physica y and a so menta y as it aspects the )st "5scendant>9agna#, which is a so because strugg es actua y strengthen the person menta y and physica y.

Aenus in the .th This wou d indicate ove for a beautifu things, strong desire for se3 "being the natura &a atrakaraka i.e., the significator for se3#, beautifu wife>partner, desire for materia u3uries of ife, a robust physi1ue with se3ua appea , attractive body etc.

Saturn in .th This wou d indicate the dirty side of se3 and other ikings, a de ayed marriage, spouse>partner being o der than se f, this wou d a so mean that the spouse cou d be o der in thoughts, disposition, age etc., separation, disharmony. The desire for se3 cou d even be a carna desire "as it gains Digba a in the .th# without any discretion for caste, creed and eve s.

6upiter in .th 6upiter, the Devaguru, is considered the best p acement in the .th. 5 Buru, and that too a Devaguru, cou d never do anything wrong. Hence he indicates the best for the overa we being of the person, particu ar y in a fema e<s chart where he indicates abso ute chastity. He shou d indicate the chaste desires of the person.

Sun in the .th Sun, king of a grahas, wou d mean that the spouse>partner is very dominating in nature, very rega >authoritative in disposition, angry>hot nature, reddish comp e3ion, strong in physi1ue and menta nature, a burning and never ending desire for se3 and a things rich and roya .

%oon in the .th %oon, 1ueen of a grahas, wou d thus indicate beauty, coo disposition, strong mind, charming, rega taste, sp endorous mannerisms and dressing, urge for good and c ean se3, white comp e3ioned wife, good acumen to trade, gu ib e etc.

Rahu in the .th Being a demon, wi indicate diabo ica nature, carna "se3#desires, ruth essness in a aspects of ife, dirty thoughts, fi thy se3, invo vement in prostitution, gamb ing and the ikes. However, a contro ed Rahu cou d a so give the better things of ife and materia fu fi ment. ;ropitiating 9ord Shiva with water "Rudrabhishek# to contro and ca m the heated and passionate desires or have contro ed se3 is the best Hpaya for Rahu, whi e * the mantraP 4Han Gm Tat Sat4 * Satyanarana %antra is he pfu to $ust cut off the effects of Rahu i.e., no desires at a #.

&etu in the .th Being the dismembered body of the demon Rahu, it wou d indicate a sick y spouse. Being the natura significator for %oksha, it wou d indicate that the partner>spouse wi be a spiritua person. !t cou d a so indicate a nagging partner. 5n aff icted p acement cou d mean sickness, unsteady mind, genera destruction i.e., the infra*red passion of &etu eads to se f* destruction as 9ord Shiva destroyed &amadeva. "The .th house, is a so the house of &amadeva * hence the desires. Destruction of desires "i.e., &amadeva# eventua y eads to moksha#.

.th 9ord in the Mth bhava wou d mean the spouse turning an enemy where the faithfu ness or fide ity is to be doubted. This cou d be redeemed on y with a strong and benevo ent 6upiter in the chart. .th 9ord in the +th wou d mean that that bhagya "fortune# of the person wi turn for the good after marriage. Since .th indicates rebirth and the ),th bhava indicates %oksha>s eep, .th is a naisargika enemy of the ),th ".th bhava is @th from the ),th bhava# as, to attain the desires one has to remain awake and be attached to the desire for its rea ization. 'on*rea ization of the desire wou d eventua y ead to rebirth for its fu fi ment. The ongevity of the first marriage "% # is to be seen from the ,nd house to the .th "i.e., the @th bhava of the chart * the princip e of ,nd being the maraka# as it is the sustaining house for the .th. The .th from the house of first marriage "% # "i.e., ,nd bhava of the chart# wou d indicate the possibi ity of the second "%,# marriage and the ongevity of this marriage is to be determined from the ,nd house to this bhava "%,# "i.e., the -rd bhava of the chart#. The .th from %, wou d indicate the -rd marriage "%-# and the ,nd bhava from %- wou d indicate its ongevity. Subse1uent marriages, usua y ti the /th, are to be seen so on and so forth. Such a syndrome norma y stops with the fourth marriage when the effect of %oon "in the form of mother or mother*in* aw# comes in as a natura obstac e. However, these are to be reckoned by the 6yotish after carefu observation of the customs and

'ractices of different communities and 'ersons. 1ormall%, this 'henomena of multi'le marriages is most 'ossi$le in 'eo'le and communities where worshi' on Frida%s is 'ractised 'redominantl% as the% would im$i$e more of 5enusian effects.

0 #"#"-" 0'a'ada, also &nown as !auna'ada, is the 3"rudha3 of the =>th $hava of the chart (B#+S: 8ha'ter DJ - Slo&as =->). (!auna - means one who follows K"nuchara - that which follows - Slo&a > of 8ha'ter DJB#+SL "ccordingl%, the 3"rudha3 of the $hava that follows (=>th) the .agna is, thus, the !auna'ada or 0'a'ada.) This 'ada determines the inner nature4attitude of the native towards the s'ouse. The 3Sam$andha3 or relationshi' of the lord of 0'a'ada vis-M-vis the .agna lord, $% wa% of 'lacement, will determine whether the native would marr% at all or not. If the lord of 0'a'ada goes to the =>th (the house for sacrifice4T%aga) therefrom, it indicates a sure sign of denial of marriage. This would also indicate the dela%s, if an%, and the reasons for such dela% in marriage.

1ow, how do we see the 3sam$andha3 of the lord of 0'a'ada with the lord of .agnaN The rasi4sign occu'ied $% the lord of the .agna is called 3#a&a .agna3. The #a&a .agna signifies the whims and fancies of the native. )hile the natal .agna determines what is good or $ad for the $od%, #a&a .agna signifies what a 'erson li&es or disli&es. Thus, a 'a'a graha occu'%ing the .agna will not signif% clearl% the li&es and disli&es of the 'erson as the #a&a .agna would.

Therefore, the relationshi' $etween a graha and the lord of the .agna4#a&a .agna should $e studied carefull% to determine the li&es and disli&es, whims and fancies etc., of a 'erson. )hen the sam$andha of a graha is not good with the lord of .agna4#a&a .agna, the graha tends to re9ect its significations. This determines the fact that a certain 'lacement of a graha, though it signifies certain naisargi& Cualities, loses such Cualities in terms of its relationshi' with the lord of the .agna4#a&a .agna. This has to $e studied carefull% to determine whether the 'erson would marr% or not, what the 'erson will li&e or disli&e, what the 'erson will ada't or renounce etc. For e;am'le, mere occu'ation of .agna $% Shani - a naisargi&a significator of alcohol and negative things - will not determine the 'ersons li&ing for alcohol or negative as'ects as his 'a&a lagna would, while the converse is true in the case of $enefics.

(1ote: +owever, Brihas'ati O/ara&a for 37eeva3 and -hi Sha&ti which is the most im'ortant Cualit% of manP is the naisargi& &ara&a for #a&a .agna.) Since 0'a'ada determines the nature4attitude of the 'erson towards the s'ouse who is a lifelong 'artner, it is ver% im'ortant that the sign4rasi of the 0'a'ada is aus'icious. It is the aus'iciousness of the rasi that determines the 'urit% of nature of the native and how the 'erson would treat the s'ouse. "n% affliction to the rasi, or if the rasi is inaus'icious, to that e;tent the native3s attitude towards the s'ouse is affected. This would mean that the com'ati$ilit%, fidelit%, affection etc., which form the $asics of good s'ousal relationshi', either $ecome Cuestiona$le or it is totall% a$sent de'ending on the inaus'iciousness or affliction of the sign.

Thus, the ord of Baunapada becomes very important in determining the spouse "fami y etc.,#, spousa attitude of the person, and happiness>sorrow from spouse. 5n e3a ted ord of Hpapada wi bring to the native a spouse from a nob e fami y, whi e in the case of a debi itated ord of Hpapada the reverse ho ds true meaning thereby that the spouse wi be from a fami y be ow the status of the native. 2o owing are the significations in the case of the ord of Hpapada being con$oined withP ).

5s we know the princip e that it is a ways the ,nd bhava that sustains the previous bhava, determining the effects of the ,nd bhava from Hpapada becomes important in determining the sustenance of the marriage. 5ny aff ictions or inauspiciousness of the ,nd bhava from the Hpapada wi indicate the ength of marriage i.e., how ong the marriage wou d ast and when it breaks what wi be the reasons that determine such a break. 2rom this we get an important princip eP* The nature of sign in the ,nd bhava from Hpapada is important in determining the rea cause of break in marriage "which cou d be in the form of death "under various circumstances#, ega or i ega separation, separation due to other ordinary or e3traordinary circumstances etc.,#.

There are four t%'es of aa%us - (=) -irgaa%u (long life - $e%ond :E %ears)Q (>) adh%aa%u (middle life - D> to :E %ears)Q and (D) "l'aa%u (short life - >J to D> %ears)Q while the fourth t%'e is &nown as Balarishta (child death J to =H %ears). In normal 'arlance, a longlife or dirgaa%u is considered good as it generall% indicates the satisfaction of having lived the life as one gets enough time to accom'lish the desires. The strengths of the Gth house and its lord, lagna

and its lord and their 'lacementsQ as also the =Jth house and =Jth lord (as it is the Drd house from the Gth) are to $e considered 'ro'erl% $efore 'ronouncing the longevit% of the 'erson. Since the Gth is indicative of the longevit%, it is also intimatel% connected with the $attlefield and enemies. " stronger enem% is $ound to &ill in the $attle while a wea&er enem% is li&el% to $e won over. " 'ro'er stud% of the Gth house and the (udramsa can indicate the timing of war, the length of war and its victor% or defeat. Since Gth is also an indicator of forts and fortresses, one will come to learn their strengths and wea&nesses, rise and fall of the forts (&ingdoms and &ings). )e &now that the lord of Gth is also called rogesh (lord of long-term disease). " 'ro'er and detailed stud% of the Gth could indicate the t%'e of disease that one would die of and the length of time that one will suffer during the inimical 'eriod of the Gth house and its lord. The 'lacement of the lord of Gth will also indicate the 'lace where e;actl% in the 'h%sical $od% would one get affected $% disease, the t%'e and duration of such disease and its cure or otherwise. "ll this would de'end on the 'lacement of grahas in the Gth, 'lacement and strength of lord of Gth and lord of lagna. It would $e ver% interesting to note the relation $etween the :th and Gth house in terms of longevit%. )hile the Gth indicates longevit%, the :th ($eing the =>th to Gth) indicates loss to the longevit%. " strong :th indicating strong4over indulgence in se; causes loss of longevit%. .oss of semen, which is vitalit%, cuts short the length of life. Thus the :th, which is o''osite to celi$ac%, affects ver% much the longevit% of life. " strong 5enusian activit% is thus an enem% of the longevit%. Gth is also the house of insurance. rutadhanam, meaning, the accruals in the form of legacies and

It is also &nown as the house of unearned wealth, which also includes gam$ling. )hile the activit% of gam$ling itself is seen from the Gth house, the &arma (the act of s'eculation) for gam$ling is seen from the Eth house (it is the =Jth from the Gth - Bhat$havam 'rinci'le). Thus, the Gth, along with the Fth and =>th houses is called the 3dushtstanaT meaning the malefic houses $ecause of their a$ilit% to either create or ma&e enemies and 'rovide detachment and loss.

The +th bhava signifies father, dharma, guru, past karma, bhagya, ong $ourneys, thighs, sister*in* aw "brother<s wife#, $ourneys to ho y p aces etc.

?hy is the +th house the significator of father and dharmaD 2rom the princip e of trines, we know that 9ord Brahma resides in the )st bhava, whi e 9ord Shiva resides in the (th and 9ord Aishnu in the +th bhava. ?hi e the )st bhava signifies <ayu< "birth# and the (th signifies prosperity, the +th indicates <dharma< since 9ord Aishnu resides in it. !t is he who fi3es the dharma of the person and gives according to what he deserves.

The +th house of the naisargik rasi chakra is Dhanur "Sagittarius# which is a fiery sign and its ord is Devaguru Brihaspati "6upiter#. The fiery nature of Dhanur is because of its agni tatwa, which means energy in the form of ight. This agni is ca ed the <Brihat 5gni< or the ight of en ightenment and it acts on the dhi shakti "head# without with one wi never be ab e to attain en ightenment>know edge. This energy is represented by Brihaspati as we know that he is the significator of dhi shakti. !t is because of the reason that 9ord Aishnu<s wi in determining the creation of the person, his dharma, his bhagya etc., is seen from this house of Brihaspati, that 6upiter is seen as representing Bod "Bhagavate>Bhagam# in the horoscope. Brihaspati is said to represent Bod in the horoscope because he possesses a the 1ua ities ike shantam "peace#, shubha akshanam "good ooks>disposition#, daya "mercy# etc., that Bod possesses. But how is Brihaspati connected with the birth of the individua D 6upiter represents Bod and he is the sustainer of ife "$eeva# whi e Surya is the giver of ife. Therefore, there shou d be some graha representing and acting as Bod to create ife. !t is Surya, in the form of father who acts as Bod to create ife. Bod fi3es our birth on the basis of our past karma but he cannot take birth on earth to create every individua being. The $ob of creation is thus the responsibi ity of the father when he, at that moment of creation, acts as Bod. The representation of Bod in physica form by the father is the reason why the +th house is associated with father.

How is father responsib e for birthD The atma that is to take birth resides in the body of the father in a p ace ca ed 4%oo adharachakra4. The %oo adharachakra is actua y the end of the spina chord in our body. !n the feta stage, the baby in the womb of the mother deve ops with a tai , which is actua y the e3tension of the spina chord, which gradua y recedes, with the growth of the fetus. !n the Bhagwad Bita, 9ord &rishna has e3p ained how the atma comes to reside in this chakra of the father. !t is in the form of rain that the atma comes down on the earth and through the soi , it enters the trees and gets into the fruits through the sap of the tree. The atma, then finds its way to the father when such a fruit which bears the atma to be born is consumed by him. Through the b ood stream it reaches the moo adharachakra where it resides ti such time fi3ed by Bod for its birth.

The deity of %oo adharachakra is 9ord %aha Banapthi as he is the deity of &etu. ?e know that &etu ru es the tai . !t is the initia tai that gradua y recedes to become the end of the spine and is known as %oo adharachakra. Thus, &etu becomes the important graha to be studied to see the procreative aspects of the father. Therefore, &etu is known to e3pand the fami y in terms of numbers and is a so symbo ica y represented by a ye ow s1uare, which is the symbo of &etu "procreation#. Since Surya is the giver of ife and is the naisargik

atmakarak "who a so represents father#, it is e3a ted in 5ries in the 5shwin nakshatra, which is a nakshatra of &etu. Thus, we see the connection of how and why Sun is e3a ted in 5ries. Thus, we come to see the re ationship between father and Bod. Therefore, the physica presence>form of father is seen from the +th house. Besides, the other important of ro e of father in a person<s ife is to teach the chi d the idea s>princip es of ife. The first ideo ogy>princip e, otherwise known as dharma, is earnt from the house i.e., from the father. Then comes the ro e of the teacher * Buru. 5 good guru teaches good things to the chi d. Bood know edge is very important for the proper upbringing of the chi d. !t is good know edge and good princip es imbibed by the chi d both in the fami y and from the Buru, that stand good in the ife of a person. !t keeps him princip ed in ife. 5nd good princip es incu cate good and strong discip ine. Therefore, the +th house becomes a very important chart in the ife of a person.

5ny deviation from>desertion of dharma eads to the destruction of the se f fina y. ?hen dharma "princip e# is affected, the ))th house " abhasthana# therefrom, which is the .th house indicating wife, is first affected. Subse1uent y eading to affect the (th "the house of chi dren * because the wife<s princip es ".th# is affected# and the -rd is affected as the prakramba of the native is used to shie d the fami y "wife and chi dren#. 5nd when the -rd is affected, the 9agna too is affected because it is the individua who is adding on to his sins "paapa#. 'ow, when is the dharma affectedD !t gets affected in a bid to earn more " abha *))th house#. Bad princip es adopted to increase the income in abhasthan "))th# no doubt increases the income, but it a so increases the sins to that e3tent affecting the +th house, which sets of a chain reaction to the other houses "))th therefrom#. This is derived from the 4%andooka Dasha4 "%andooka dasha means frog $umps on every third house. This is seen in the Rudramsa chart and is seen for devining wars, victories, defeats etc.#.

Thus, the +th bhava is a so for discip ine. !t indicates <6apa< which discip ines the person<s ife. Strong +th house wi indicate a strong sense of discip ine and, hence, strong princip es. This wi ref ect the e3tent to which the person wi observe discip ine in ife and obedience towards his father and Buru. "5 strong +th and the Sun p aced in /th or @th from 9agna indicates the person to be very obedient to father.# The +th house a so ref ects the past karma of the person. !t is the good deeds in one<s ife that determine the 1ua ity of ife one wou d ead in the ne3t birth. The physica body of a person perishes with time, but the atma carries with it the karma accumu ated by the person. !t is according to this karma that one gets the share "Bhagya * derived from bhaga or bhagam, meaning the share from father>Bod# of the materia things in the wor d. Hence, the +th house is a so ca ed the house of <Bhagya< * meaning, what one wou d en$oy as his>her share of things in the wor d as decided by Bod. Since the +th signifies the thighs of the person, it a so indicates ong distance $ourneys. ?hi e studying ong distance $ourneys, it is very important to study the 46a apatha saham4 "6a a * meaning waterK patham * meaning crossingK and saham * meaning point# to reckon whether the person wi cross arge bodies of water "oceans etc.,# and a so 4;aradesa saham4 ";aradesa * meaning foreignK and saham * meaning point# to reckon whether the person wi have residence in foreign and. However, the sambandha of Shukra is a so to be reckoned as he is the significator of vehic es "means of conveyance#, whi e &etu, the mokshakaraka, wi indicate astra trave s "trave of the atma by detachment from the physica se f * which is norma y attained on y by Sadhus after strong tapasya. &etu he ps attain this by way of detaching the mind from the physica se f.#.

Hth $hava $eing the house of the .ord, it also indicates tem'les and other 'laces of worshi' (strong influence of Sur%a on Hth will indicate construction of tem'les, while affliction from (ahu will indicate destruction4desecration of religious 'laces). Hth $hava also indicates the wife of the %ounger $rother and also the wife3s %ounger sister. "nother as'ect that could $e seen from the Hth house is 3renunciation3 and its timing is to $e derived from its 3-rig -asha3 (-rig - is the 'ower to see). The s'iritual guru of the 'erson is to $e seen from the 35imsamsa3 (-->J) chart of the 'erson. It is the s'iritual guru who can hel' and guide the 'erson during tr%ing times and 'ut him4her on the right 'ath. Thus, we ma% see that the Hth house is a ver% im'ortant house of the horosco'e of a 'erson. It reflects the 'rinci'les and ideals of the 'erson and to what e;tent will he4she follow it in life. Thus, a good and strong Hth house would mean a strongl% 'rinci'led life and o''osite would hold true in case of afflictions of the Hth. 8onnection $etween the lords of the Hth and =Jth $havas will indicate T-harma&armadi'ati 6ogaS which will mean that the 'erson will use the 'rinci'les (whatever acCuired from famil% and from guru) in 'erforming &arma (9o$). +ence, it ma% safel% $e assumed that 'rescri$ing a stone4gem of the Hth lord would $e immensel% $eneficial to the 'erson at all times with the e;ce'tion $eing the case where the Hth lord is also the lord of the Fth house (the house of enemies). "lso, 7u'iter $eing the lord of the Hth of the natural ,odiac, chanting the mantra SOm !urave 1amahaS will strengthen the Hth house, while chanting the mantra SOm Sat !urave 1amahaS will 'acif% him4her and also strengthen the 'erson s'irituall%.

The =Jth house is the most im'ortant Cuadrant4&endra of a chart. It is one of the 'rinci'le 'illars of the life of the 'erson as it de'icts the &arma4action of the individual. This shows the &armic direction in one3s life. It is to $e seen along with the Hth house which shows the dharma of the 'erson.

The )0th house of the natura zodiac is 8apricorn "%akar# owned by Saturn "Sani#. Gur %aharishis were such great seers that what astronomica science is proving today regarding the gradua drift or precession of the so ar system towards the conste ation 8apricorn, was rea ized and noted by them many thousands of years ago.

The horoscope is, therefore, based on the princip e movement of %oon. The fi3ation of %oon decides the fi3ation of other p anets in the chart. %oon takes ,. and )>-rd days to traverse the zodiac from zero degrees 8ancer "&ark# and return to zero degrees 8ancer. This wou d mean that there shou d be ,. )>, asterisms>'akshatras. However, we have ,. visib e asterisms>'akshatras from 5shwini to Rohini and the )>-rd invisib e nakshatra. The )>-rd part of the invisib e nakshatra was referred to Han "%aha Aishnu# and this was found to be appro3imate y )0 degrees "a other stars ru e -degrees and ,0 minutes of a sign>conste ation#. 5s 8apricorn "%akar# is the conste ation that is the abode of %aha Aishnu in ka iyug, this invisib e "inter*8a ary# nakshatra named 45BH!6!T '5&SHTR54 was fi3ed in the %akar rasi. This is the rasi and star towards which the entire so ar system is known to be heading and this movement of the so ar system is known is <precession<. This is the nakshatra used to ad$ust the motion of %oon. This nakshatra is most powerfu during the noon "), noon# when %aha Aishnu is known to be on the move to ensure dharma and a good works can safe y be undertaken during this period.

Since this is in 8apricorn * the )0th house of the natura zodiac, the significance>importance of the )0th house in every individua s chart becomes very important and centra to a person<s 1ua ity of ife and action. 5 strong )0th house determines whether a person wi become a karmayogi or not. &arma is action> abour and perform karma one e3pends energy. Therefore, the first significator of the )0th house becomes Saturn "Sani# as he uses up a great dea of energy to do a work. Besides, Saturn is the p anet who keeps the account of a bad karmas of a person and punishes a person according to the deeds of the person. Thus, Saturn is a so known as a <&armic p anet<. Besides the individua karma, Saturn a so keeps an account of the <;itri Rina< "debts of father and forefathers#. Therefore, the first action of a person born on this earth shou d be to wipe away the <pitri rina<. 9ord &rishna says in Bhagwad Bita that b essed are those who die without any debts * <pitri rina< in particu ar.

To wipe away a accumu ated debts and to perform work one needs energy and this energy comes from the p anet %ars "%anga #. %ars, thus, becomes the ,nd important p anet so far as the )0th house is concerned. 5s a matter of fact, this one of the prime reasons why %ars e3a ts and a so attains digba in the )0th house. %ars is represented by 9ord Hanuman who

is a symbo of supreme strength and energy. Regu ar prayers to 9ord Hanuman wi thus remove a %artian aff ictions and he p perform right karma. ?here does a the energy of %ars come fromD Sun "Surya# "'arayan# is the on y source from where %ars draws the strength>energy. Sun is therefore another chief p anet for the activities of the )0th house. Sun a so gains digba a ong with %ars in the )0th house. !t is, therefore, very important that a karma>activity is performed during the day when there is natura sun ight.

;erformance of any karma>activity * either good or bad * re1uires inte igence "Dhi shakti#. Thus, 6upiter, the chief significator of <Dhi Shakti< becomes the -rd important p anet for the )0th house. Regu ar chanting of <Brihaspati Bayatri< he ps strengthen 6upiter, which eventua y strengthens the inte igence of the person and a so he ps the person perform on y right and good karma.

Gne of the most important aspects of doing any karma>action, is the basic desire to do so. This desire for doing a karma comes from the p anet %ercury "Budh#. Therefore, %ercury becomes a very important p anet for the )0th house. 5 weak and aff icted %ercury cou d ruin the ife of a person due to ack of desire to perform any karma>activity. The positive sides apart, the fo owing are the negative sides of the above p anets in the )0th house when they are either too strong or weak>aff ictedP ). Sun E short term goa s over shadow the ong term>actua goa s of the person. Therefore, the ayana "direction# of the person is ost. ,. Saturn E there is too much of hard work with minimum of returns or very itt e achievement. -. %ars E there is very high energy eve and there is too much drive>passion in anything>work undertaken by the person. /. 6upiter E there is simp y too much know edge and, therefore, ack of focus because of the broad base of know edge. This aspect can, however, be contro ed by strengthening Saturn "the ord of 6upiter<s debi ity# * the primary eve of contro . The secondary eve of contro is by strengthening %oon "the ord of 6upiter<s e3a tation#. Saturn * 6upiter con$unction causes <Brahma :oga<.

The different aspects of karma>activity areP "a# 8reation "b# ;reservationK and "c# Destruction The p anet occupying the )0th house signifies the karma>activity that wou d be performed by the individua . Sun in the )0th wi signifies the creation. !t represents a king or top positions in the government. !t is bhagwan Ram who decides who wi be the king. Thus, Sun in the )0th wi give Ra$yoga whi e its aff iction wi give the opposite * <;ravra$ya yoga<, meaning renunciation. Sun aspected by Saturn wi cause de ay or oss of the Ra$yoga.

The /th bhava indicates mother, mother and, re atives, property, vehic es and other conveyances, peace of mind, prosperity of se f, heart, forma education, genera happiness, home and happiness. The /th house, a ong with the )st, .th and )0th houses, is one of the four 1uadrants or ang es and it happens to be one of the pi ars of a person<s chart. The first is the agna or birth, whi e the .th is the descendent of the agna where the person comes down to the basics of desire. The )0th is the sky, where one c imbs according to karma, whi e /th is the nadir * <pata < * where one finds himse f after the fa from the sky "karma#. Thus, the 1uadrants are very important houses of the horoscope. The /th is a very vita house inasmuch as it dea s with one<s mother and genera happiness of ife. The chi d, in its initia years of ife, is fu y under the protective cover of the mother. !t is mother who understands everything re ated to the chi d. !t is she who provides her chi d

food, she ter, and succor to ife. The chi d a so ooks for the mother whenever it fee s hungry or insecure. ?hen man fa s from the heights of g ory "the )0th * karmabhava# nobody e3cept his mother who sti wishes the very best for him and provides him the succor. The mother protects even unru y and sinfu chi dren. Such is the b ind, unbiased and true ove of mother for the chi d. 9ord &rishna has therefore right y ca ed T%atrubhava DevtaT< meaning the mother * chi d re ationship to be a re ationship between the individua and Bod. Therefore, the /th bhava, in the form of mother<s ove and re ationship, estab ishes the ove for Bod. !t is the 9ord who he ps us at the weakest time ike the mother who he ps the chi d when it is most vu nerab e. Sri 5di Shankara has, therefore, said that, mother<s b essing was of vita importance for the attainment of moksha. He saidP 4Batistvam gatistvam tvameka bhavani4. !t is the b essings of mother that actua y provides one the speed "gati# in the direction and desire for setting out on the path for spiritua ism.

!t is a so because mother "a so Bod# is the one who provides <ashraya< * she ter * to the person that we see the ac1uisition of anded property and house"s# both in the native and and e sewhere, inc uding foreign ands, from the /th house. ; acement of the ord of /th in @th wou d indicate ac1uisition of property in other p aces, whi e its p acement in ),th wou d mean ac1uisition of property in foreign ands. !t a so indicates anything that is imbibed or received from the mother. The first anguage that we speak * our mother tongue isK the p ace where we are born * mother andK the ove for our cu ture and mother and is a so to be seen from the /th house. 5ny inimica or papa graha in the /th affects to that e3tent the symbo ization of the /th house. The /th a so ru es the heart. 5fter a , ove * true ove * is possib e on y if there is a heart "conscious mind# to do so. True is nothing but pursuit of the oved one with heart and sou . 5ny benevo ence or arrogance of the person<s heart, whether a person is good or bad at heart, is to be seen from the strength and p acement of the /th house, its ord and other grahas in it. ; acement of Rahu cou d give a hard>stout heart. !t cou d a so indicate heart disease>aff ictions to heart depending on its p acement etc., whi e p acement of a benefic ike Aenus cou d indicate passionate ove and a very kind mother. Thus, aff ictions to the heart, both physica and emotiona , are to be seen from the /th house. Thus, the /th a so becomes the house of happiness and grief. 'o aff ictions or good p acements cou d give a genera sense of attainment of happiness and ess emotiona strains. This estab ishes a c ear connection between the heart "/th# and the mind ")st#. The genera sense of happiness prevai s on y when the desires are fu fi ed.

The /th house a so dea s with forma education. !t indicates the e3tent and type of forma education that one wou d get in ife. !t indicates the schoo , co ege or institution, the ength ti which one wi have forma education. ?hi e presence of Rahu in the /th wi a so indicate genera defiance in studies and disturbances to mother etc., it wou d a so indicate an inc ination and even good contro over foreign anguages * something which is uncommon to the native.

5 modes of conveyances, of course * with the sambandha of Aenus who is the naisargika karaka for vehic es>conveyances, is to be studied and predicted from the /th hosue. ?hi e presence or aspect of Aenus on the /th wou d mean attainment and en$oyment of materia p easures of a good things of ife, presence of aspect of grahas ike Rahu, &etu, Sani wou d mean denia or destruction of the p easures of the wor d resu ting in ack of genera happiness. Thus we may say that the resu ts indicated by any graha in the /th fructify fast, whi e that of those in the )st or .th wi be fe t on y in the ater part of ife.

The genera sense of happiness to an individua comes on y when the ac1uisitions are se fmade. Though we know the need and importance of karma ")0th# we sti tend to run after the comforts for se f. !t is when we achieve these comforts in the wor d of maya that we fee satisfied. !t is this proud sense of satisfaction on having achieved something materia that gives happiness to everybody.

?e are aware that the )st, the (th and the +th form the Dharma Trikona. ?e are a so aware of Brihaspati<s inf uence on the (th house as he is the karaka for chi dren "to be seen from the (th#, for know edge "dhi shakti and he is a so the Buru * teacher# and a supreme benefic for the we being of the person during his ife time. Therefore, Brihaspati<s inf uence on the (th is to be reckoned with great care and his is to be propitiated for genera we being and gain of know edge and good things in ifeK and more so when there is any aff iction to the (th, particu ar y that of Rahu.

8hi dren are the hope for the future of parents and a so the generation. 5s parents gamb e,<specu ate our future by way ooking for assistance and achievements from our chi dren in our ater years. Therefore, the (th not on y becomes the house of future of the person but a so the house to ook for specu ative abi ities and name and fame to be gained in future. !t is the @th from the )0th "karma bhava# and the )0th from the @th house "based on the <Bhavatbhavam< princip e#. Hence the specu ative abi ities is to be seen from the (th house as it becomes the karmabhava for the @th house which is known for gamb ing activities "or unearned wea th#.

(th is the house that sustains the /th being ,nd from it. Thus, we may derive the genera we being of the heart from the (th. !t provides ife and succor to the heart by way of ove. 9ove is the prime essence of we being. ?hen deprived of it, it not on y wrecks the heart emotiona y, but a so physica y. By virtue of being in the ,nd from the /th bhava "forma know edge# and a so because it is an activity re ated to Brihaspati the significator of dhi shakti without which one never accomp ishes anything, the (th house gains importance by way of both forma and informa education. !nte igence to comprehend anything and putting it to effective use is very important for a meaningfu iving. Since it is the Buru "teacher# who confers the know edge of <mantra<, tantra and <yantra< vidya, it becomes the most important house to ook for the know edge of the same and a so the respect and obedience one wou d have towards the

'rece'tors (gurus and teachers). Thus, an% affliction to the Eth would reflect the negatives of the house in terms of &nowledge and intelligence of the 'erson, as also the res'ect and o$edience for guru4teacher. One of the negative as'ects of an afflicted Eth house would also indicate the s'eculative action that one would 'erform in the case of gam$ling (as it is the =Jth from the Gth house - Bhavat$havam 'rinci'le).

The Eth house also ha''ens to $e the ==th from the :th (house of marriage). +ence the rec&oning of gains from marriage is estimated from the Eth house.

The 'lacement of different 'lanets in Eth are as follows: Sun Indicates anger during child $irth, struggle in the middle life, living in loneliness, love for father.

The Mth bhava, a ong with the -rd, )0th and ))th is a <Hpachaya<. !t is the house of service "work#. Mth is a so the house of punishment, depending on whether the work performed is good or bad, as per the princip e * TTanau Tanah Danda HaraT< "Mth and ))th "Tanau Tanah means Mth to Mth# are the houses of punishment and reward#, wherein <Danda< means punishment and <Hara< means gaining victory. The 9ord gains victory over the person by showing him the rewards. However, the amount of punishment and reward to be meted out to a person is pure y the know edge of Bod as it is on y he who can determine it. The Mth is the -rd from /th, which is the house of mother. Hence materna unc es are seen from the Mth house. Mth is the house of enemies. The strength and weakness of the enemy is to be seen from here. !t is considered a ways good to have a weak or debi itated Mth ord as it indicates that the enemy is weak and cou d be won over. However, to defeat the enemy the person wou d re1uire a strong .th house. The Mth is a so the house of service. This determines whether the person wou d be a <karmayogi< or not. !t a so determines whether the person wou d render service or wou d run a business and in what manner and circumstances. To determine the karma of the Mth house it is important to study the )0th from it i.e., the -rd house "Bhavatbhavam princip e# which determines the karma of the service rendered by the person. 4Shramdan4 "rendering service in terms of physica abour in temp es or p aces of worship and worship to 4Shani4 *the ord for abour# wi rectify aff ictions to the Mth house.

Hence it is a so known as the <&a atra< meaning that which indicates the se3 and se3ua instincts of the person. .th is a very important house a so because it provides the abi ity to bring forth new ife in the form of progeny * it gives form to a new atma that deve ops as the chi d. The organs "private parts# are basica y used for procreative activity. The genera we being of a person cou d be determined on how good or bad the .th house is and what effects it has on the /th and )0th houses of the person. Thus, .th is the <naisargika< bhava of 9ord Shiva who is the 9ord for <&a yanam< meaning we being "9ord Brahma is for <5yu< meaning ife> ongevity whi e %aha Aishnu is for <Dhanam< for sustenance#. 5s the .th dea s with inner desires and procreation, it shows rebirth. !t is a so the @th house " ongevity>de ay# for the ),th house "moksh>emancipatio n#. !t cou d be known from this bhava whether, when, where and why wi an individua be reborn. !n fact, there is a practice of preparing T%rityu &und is4 which is prepared at the time of death and the .th bhava of this chart wou d indicate e3act y the nature, why, when and where about the rebirth. 5 <papa< graha in the .th wou d indicate <;unar$anma< "rebirth#. UHpayaP ;rayer to 9ord Shiva wi he p in c eaning the dosha of papa graha.V How is the .th re ated to the /th "Sukhasthan# "the bhava for peace of mind, desires etc.#D <!chha< "desire>&ama# is the u timate source of a prob ems. !f one had no desires, e3cept attaining Bod, there wou d not be scope for any sorrow. !t is on y the desire to achieve something, to atch on to something, an emotiona attachment to something that causes the sorrow when it is either not attained or is ost. 'ow, desire for something is ove or kama. The purity or impurity of desire determines the 1uantum of sorrow. Desire to attain Bod is, perhaps, the purest form of ove>kama. 5gain, &ama can be for different purposes and with different grades>degrees of intensity. Desire for wife "cohabiting with one woman * as practised and e3amp e set by 9ord Rama#, chi dren, home and their we being is a genuine and proper desire and to sustain them one needs money. Hence the need for a $ob>&arma and hence the sorrow when you fa short of resources for meeting those needs. Here comes

the relativit% $etween the :th, <th and the =Jth. But, if the same love were to turn into lust (carnal desire - an animal instinct for se;) then the desire is im'ro'er. The higher such im'ro'er and uncontrolled desires the more the sorrows that one e;'eriences.

:th is also the house that indicates the overcoming of enemies or $eing vanCuished $% them. 1ow, when does a 'erson have enemiesN Onl% a 'erson who has something which others do not, or, when some$od% desires to attain something which others too are aiming, does one create and have enemies. +owever, if a 'erson were sim'l% desirous of attaining !od, he is not going to have enemies. It is onl% materialistic things4worldl% things, which attract enemies. " $eggar is most li&el% not to have enemies, while a rich man is $ound to have more enemies $ecause what a $eggar doesn3t have a rich man has.

+ere comes the relation $etween the Fth and the :th $hava. The Fth indicates enemies and the :th indicates vanCuishing enemies or $eing vanCuished $% them. " wea& Fth .ord and a strong :th $hava is sure to vanCuish the enemies, while in the converse the native is defeated.

:th $hava of the naisargi&a $ha cha&ra is 35ani9 sthana3 meaning the house of trade and commerce. )hat is the aim $ehind the &armaN If it is to earn mone%, then the second from the &arma house (=Jth house) i.e., the ==th house and its trines come into focus. "nd of these, the :th ha''ens to $e the =Jth from the naisargi&a =Jth $hava of the chart which indicates the &arma to $e 'erformed and the actual desire for the 'erformance of the &arma (to earn mone% for sustenance). Thus, the :th also $ecomes the house of $usiness and $eing the naisargi&a house for 3)ife4"rdhangni3 it also $ecomes the $hava for determining the com'ati$ilit% with 'artners in $usiness.

Therefore, the :th is trul% reflective of the inner self of the 'erson. It is reflective of the 3"%ana3 of the 'erson. "n ina''ro'riate lordshi'4'lacement4rasi of the :th $hava indicates the e;tent to which a 'erson $ears a character, dis'osition in life, whether the 'erson will $e re$orn or will attain mo&sha.

Thus, to determine the strengths and results of native3s chart, the :th, :th .ord and is -ara'ada (":) 'lacement $ecome ver% significant and im'ortant. ars in the :th Indicates /u9a -osha (this is due to the anger of -eva (ishi 1arad - 0'a%a: #ra%er to +anuman9i is the sole remed%). The 'lacement of ars in :th indicates war or T6udh3 in life (as ma% $e seen from .ord (ama3s life) which means a life full of struggles with freCuent se'aration from wife. This could mean a se'aration, incom'ati$le natures, angr% nature4hot constitution of the wife4$usiness 'artner, disharmon% in marital life - which means a generall% tense and strained 'ersonal life. +owever, the 'ositive signs of have ars in the :th would mean that the 'erson is ver% strong 'h%sicall% and also mentall% as it as'ects the =st ("scendant4.agna), which is also $ecause struggles actuall% strengthen the 'erson mentall% and 'h%sicall%.

Saturn in :th

This wou d indicate the dirty side of se3 and other ikings, a de ayed marriage, spouse>partner being o der than se f, this wou d a so mean that the spouse cou d be o der in thoughts, disposition, age etc., separation, disharmony. The desire for se3 cou d even be a carna desire "as it gains Digba a in the .th# without any discretion for caste, creed and eve s.

6upiter in .th 6upiter, the Devaguru, is considered the best p acement in the .th. 5 Buru, and that too a Devaguru, cou d never do anything wrong. Hence he indicates the best for the overa we being of the person, particu ar y in a fema e<s chart where he indicates abso ute chastity. He shou d indicate the chaste desires of the person.

Sun in the .th Sun, king of a grahas, wou d mean that the spouse>partner is very dominating in nature, very rega >authoritative in disposition, angry>hot nature, reddish comp e3ion, strong in physi1ue and menta nature, a burning and never ending desire for se3 and a things rich and roya .

%oon in the .th %oon, 1ueen of a grahas, wou d thus indicate beauty, coo disposition, strong mind, charming, rega taste, sp endorous mannerisms and dressing, urge for good and c ean se3, white comp e3ioned wife, good acumen to trade, gu ib e etc.

to remain awake and be attached to the desire for its rea ization. 'on*rea ization of the desire wou d eventua y ead to rebirth for its fu fi ment. The ongevity of the first marriage "% # is to be seen from the ,nd house to the .th "i.e., the @th bhava of the chart * the princip e of ,nd being the maraka# as it is the sustaining house for the .th. The .th from the house of first marriage "% # "i.e., ,nd bhava of the chart# wou d indicate the possibi ity of the second "%,# marriage and the ongevity of this marriage is to be determined from the ,nd house to this bhava "%,# "i.e., the -rd bhava of the chart#. The .th from %, wou d indicate the -rd marriage "%-# and the ,nd bhava from %- wou d indicate its ongevity. Subse1uent marriages, usua y ti the /th, are to be seen so on and so forth. Such a syndrome norma y stops with the fourth marriage when the effect of %oon "in the form of mother or mother*in* aw# comes in as a natura obstac e. However, these are to be reckoned by the 6yotish after carefu observation of the customs and practices of different communities and persons. 'orma y, this phenomena of mu tip e marriages is most possib e in peop e and communities where worship on 2ridays is practised predominant y as they wou d imbibe more of Aenusian effects.

H ;5;5D5 Hpapada, a so known as Baunapada, is the <5rudha< of the ),th bhava of the chart "B;HSP 8hapter -0 * S okas )*,#. "Bauna * means one who fo ows Z5nuchara * that which fo ows * S oka , of 8hapter -0B;HS[ * 5ccording y, the <5rudha< of the bhava that fo ows "),th# the 9agna is, thus, the Baunapada or Hpapada.# This pada determines the inner nature>attitude of the native towards the spouse. The <Sambandha< or re ationship of the ord of Hpapada vis*\*vis the 9agna ord, by way of p acement, wi determine whether the native wou d marry at a or not. !f the ord of Hpapada goes to the ),th "the house for sacrifice>Tyaga# therefrom, it indicates a sure sign of denia of marriage. This wou d a so indicate the de ays, if any, and the reasons for such de ay in marriage.

'ow, how do we see the <sambandha< of the ord of Hpapada with the ord of 9agnaD The rasi>sign occupied by the ord of the 9agna is ca ed <;aka 9agna<. The ;aka 9agna signifies the whims and fancies of the native. ?hi e the nata 9agna determines what is good or bad for the body, ;aka 9agna signifies what a person ikes or dis ikes. Thus, a papa graha occupying the 9agna wi not signify c ear y the ikes and dis ikes of the person as the ;aka 9agna wou d.

Therefore, the re ationship between a graha and the ord of the 9agna>;aka 9agna shou d be studied carefu y to determine the ikes and dis ikes, whims and fancies etc., of a person. ?hen the sambandha of a graha is not good with the ord of 9agna>;aka 9agna, the graha tends to re$ect its significations. This determines the fact that a certain p acement of a graha, though it signifies certain naisargik 1ua ities, oses such 1ua ities in terms of its re ationship with the ord of the 9agna>;aka 9agna. This has to be studied carefu y to determine whether the person wou d marry or not, what the person wi ike or dis ike, what the person wi adapt or renounce etc. 2or e3amp e, mere occupation of 9agna by Shani * a naisargika significator of a coho and negative things * wi not determine the persons iking for a coho or negative aspects as his paka agna wou d, whi e the converse is true in the case of benefics.

"'oteP However, Brihaspati U&araka for <6eeva< and Dhi Shakti which is the most important 1ua ity of manV is the naisargik karaka for ;aka 9agna.# Since Hpapada determines the nature>attitude of the person towards the spouse who is a ife ong partner, it is very important that the sign>rasi of the Hpapada is auspicious. !t is the auspiciousness of the rasi that determines the purity of nature of the native and how the person wou d treat the spouse. 5ny aff iction to the rasi, or if the rasi is inauspicious, to that e3tent the native<s attitude towards the spouse is affected. This wou d mean that the compatibi ity, fide ity, affection etc., which form the basics of good spousa re ationship, either become 1uestionab e or it is tota y absent depending on the inauspiciousness or aff iction of the sign.

Thus, the ord of Baunapada becomes very important in determining the spouse "fami y etc.,#, spousa attitude of the person, and happiness>sorrow from spouse. 5n e3a ted ord of Hpapada wi bring to the native a spouse from a nob e fami y, whi e in the case of a debi itated ord of Hpapada the reverse ho ds true meaning thereby that the spouse wi be from a fami y be ow the status of the native.

2o owing are the significations in the case of the ord of Hpapada being con$oined withP ). Surya * the spouse wou d be from a fami y en$oying po itica power, or from a higher caste meaning change in caste "as Sun represents temp es * a p ace where peop e of higher earning>caste ive>work#K

5s we know the princip e that it is a ways the ,nd bhava that sustains the previous bhava, determining the effects of the ,nd bhava from Hpapada becomes important in determining the sustenance of the marriage. 5ny aff ictions or inauspiciousness of the ,nd bhava from the Hpapada wi indicate the ength of marriage i.e., how ong the marriage wou d ast and

when it $rea&s what will $e the reasons that determine such a $rea&. From this we get an im'ortant 'rinci'le:- The nature of sign in the >nd $hava from 0'a'ada is im'ortant in determining the real cause of $rea& in marriage (which could $e in the form of death (under various circumstances), legal or illegal se'aration, se'aration due to other ordinar% or e;traordinar% circumstances etc.,).

The following graha 'lacements4rasi in the >nd $hava from 0'a'ada indicate the $road causes for $rea& in marriage:

=. If the >nd from 0'a'ada ha''ens to locate a $enefic, or it is as'ected $% or con9unct with a $enefic, then the native en9o%s good results (from wife) - OB#+S: 8ha'ter DJ - Slo&as : to =>P.

D. If the >nd from 0'a'ada ha''ens to locate an e;alted graha (either in rasi or navamsa) or should receive as'ect $% an% such graha, then the 'erson should have man% wives.

F. If the lord of >nd from 0'a'ada is >nd from the .agna (natal ascendant) and is with a 'a'a graha, then the marriage could $rea& due to the native3s thieving ha$its. :. Shani and (ahu in >nd from 0'a'ada - loss of wife through death and calumn% (slander). (B#+S: 8ha'ter DJ - Slo&a - =F).

Shani, (ahu and Sur%a in the said >nd will cause distress to $ones (Sur%a rules $ones).

G. ercur% in >nd from 0'a'ada will cause ver$al warfare (Budh rules s'eech) with wife. *ven e;cess s'eech (unwanted s'eech) can damage the marriage. The marriage could $rea& due to e;tra-marital relationshi's, as Budh rules ithun and ithun signifies such relationshi's. Budh also signifies dealing with $oo&s and writing. Indulgence in $oo&s and writing could lead to a $rea& in marriage. Budh and /etu in >nd from 0'a'ada causes $rea&age of $ones. (B#+S: 8ha'ter DJ - Slo&a - =G).

This too could $e a cause of $rea& in marriage.)

H. Shu&ra in >nd from 0'a'ada could signif% $rea& in marriage due to li$idinous activities. (isha$h $eing such a >nd house indicates man% wives or 'luralit% of marriage, which could also $e a cause for $rea& in marriage. (B#+S: 8ha'ter DJ - Slo&as :-=>).

The ength of one<s ife is to be seen from the @th house. 5 strong @th house, ord of the @th and ord of the agna who is a so we p aced determine the ife of the person.

The strengths of the @th house and its ord, agna and its ord and their p acementsK as a so the )0th house and )0th ord "as it is the -rd house from the @th# are to be considered proper y before pronouncing the ongevity of the person.

Since the @th is indicative of the ongevity, it is a so intimate y connected with the batt efie d and enemies. 5 stronger enemy is bound to ki in the batt e whi e a weaker enemy is ike y to be won over. 5 proper study of the @th house and the Rudramsa can indicate the timing of war, the ength of war and its victory or defeat. Since @th is a so an indicator of forts and fortresses, one wi come to earn their strengths and weaknesses, rise and fa of the forts "kingdoms and kings#.

?e know that the ord of @th is a so ca ed rogesh " ord of ong*term disease#. 5 proper and detai ed study of the @th cou d indicate the type of disease that one wou d die of and the ength of time that one wi suffer during the inimica period of the @th house and its ord. The p acement of the ord of @th wi a so indicate the p ace where e3act y in the physica body wou d one get affected by disease, the type and duration of such disease and its cure or otherwise. 5 this wou d depend on the p acement of grahas in the @th, p acement and strength of ord of @th and ord of agna. !t wou d be very interesting to note the re ation between the .th and @th house in terms of ongevity. ?hi e the @th indicates ongevity, the .th "being the ),th to @th# indicates oss to the ongevity. 5 strong .th indicating strong>over indu gence in se3 causes oss of ongevity. 9oss of semen, which is vita ity, cuts short the ength of ife. Thus the .th, which is opposite to ce ibacy, affects very much the ongevity of ife. 5 strong Aenusian activity is thus an enemy of the ongevity. @th is a so the house of %rutadhanam, meaning, the accrua s in the form of egacies and insurance. !t is a so known as the house of unearned wea th, which a so inc udes gamb ing. ?hi e the activity of gamb ing itse f is seen from the @th house, the karma "the act of specu ation# for gamb ing is seen from the (th house "it is the )0th from the @th * Bhatbhavam princip e#.

The +th bhava signifies father, dharma, guru, past karma, bhagya, ong $ourneys, thighs, sister*in* aw "brother<s wife#, $ourneys to ho y p aces etc.

?hy is the +th house the significator of father and dharmaD 2rom the princip e of trines, we know that 9ord Brahma resides in the )st bhava, whi e 9ord Shiva resides in the (th and 9ord Aishnu in the +th bhava. ?hi e the )st bhava signifies <ayu< "birth# and the (th signifies prosperity, the +th indicates <dharma< since 9ord Aishnu resides in it. !t is he who fi3es the dharma of the person and gives according to what he deserves.

The +th house of the naisargik rasi chakra is Dhanur "Sagittarius# which is a fiery sign and its ord is Devaguru Brihaspati "6upiter#. The fiery nature of Dhanur is because of its agni tatwa, which means energy in the form of ight. This agni is ca ed the <Brihat 5gni< or the ight of en ightenment and it acts on the dhi shakti "head# without with one wi never be ab e to attain en ightenment>know edge. This energy is represented by Brihaspati as we know that he is the significator of dhi shakti. !t is because of the reason that 9ord Aishnu<s wi in determining the creation of the person, his dharma, his bhagya etc., is seen from this house of Brihaspati, that 6upiter is seen as representing Bod "Bhagavate>Bhagam# in the horoscope. Brihaspati is said to represent Bod in the horoscope because he possesses a the 1ua ities ike shantam "peace#, shubha akshanam "good ooks>disposition#, daya "mercy# etc., that Bod possesses. But how is Brihaspati connected with the birth of the individua D 6upiter represents Bod and he is the sustainer of ife "$eeva# whi e Surya is the giver of ife. Therefore, there shou d be some graha representing and acting as Bod to create ife. !t is Surya, in the form of father who acts as Bod to create ife. Bod fi3es our birth on the basis of our past karma but he cannot take birth on earth to create every individua being. The $ob of creation is thus the responsibi ity of the father when he, at that moment of creation, acts as Bod. The representation of Bod in physica form by the father is the reason why the +th house is associated with father.

How is father responsib e for birthD The atma that is to take birth resides in the body of the father in a p ace ca ed 4%oo adharachakra4. The %oo adharachakra is actua y the end of the spina chord in our body. !n the feta stage, the baby in the womb of the mother deve ops with a tai , which is actua y the e3tension of the spina chord, which gradua y recedes, with the growth of the fetus. !n the Bhagwad Bita, 9ord &rishna has e3p ained how the atma comes to reside in this chakra of the father. !t is in the form of rain that the atma comes down on the earth and through the soi , it enters the trees and gets into the fruits through the sap of the tree.

The atma, then finds its way to the father when such a fruit which bears the atma to be born is consumed by him. Through the b ood stream it reaches the moo adharachakra where it resides ti such time fi3ed by Bod for its birth. The deity of %oo adharachakra is 9ord %aha Banapthi as he is the deity of &etu. ?e know that &etu ru es the tai . !t is the initia tai that gradua y recedes to become the end of the spine and is known as %oo adharachakra. Thus, &etu becomes the important graha to be studied to see the procreative aspects of the father. Therefore, &etu is known to e3pand the fami y in terms of numbers and is a so symbo ica y represented by a ye ow s1uare, which is the symbo of &etu "procreation#. Since Surya is the giver of ife and is the naisargik atmakarak "who a so represents father#, it is e3a ted in 5ries in the 5shwin nakshatra, which is a nakshatra of &etu. Thus, we see the connection of how and why Sun is e3a ted in 5ries. Thus, we come to see the re ationship between father and Bod. Therefore, the physica presence>form of father is seen from the +th house. Besides, the other important of ro e of father in a person<s ife is to teach the chi d the idea s>princip es of ife. The first ideo ogy>princip e, otherwise known as dharma, is earnt from the house i.e., from the father. Then comes the ro e of the teacher * Buru. 5 good guru teaches good things to the chi d. Bood know edge is very important for the proper upbringing of the chi d. !t is good know edge and good princip es imbibed by the chi d both in the fami y and from the Buru, that stand good in the ife of a person. !t keeps him princip ed in ife. 5nd good princip es incu cate good and strong discip ine. Therefore, the +th house becomes a very important chart in the ife of a person.

5ny deviation from>desertion of dharma eads to the destruction of the se f fina y. ?hen dharma "princip e# is affected, the ))th house " abhasthana# therefrom, which is the .th house indicating wife, is first affected. Subse1uent y eading to affect the (th "the house of chi dren * because the wife<s princip es ".th# is affected# and the -rd is affected as the prakramba of the native is used to shie d the fami y "wife and chi dren#. 5nd when the -rd is affected, the 9agna too is affected because it is the individua who is adding on to his sins "paapa#. 'ow, when is the dharma affectedD !t gets affected in a bid to earn more " abha *))th house#. Bad princip es adopted to increase the income in abhasthan "))th# no doubt increases the income, but it a so increases the sins to that e3tent affecting the +th house, which sets of a chain reaction to the other houses "))th therefrom#. This is derived from the T%andooka DashaT< "%andooka dasha means frog $umps on every third house. This is seen in the Rudramsa chart and is seen for devining wars, victories, defeats etc.#.

Thus, the +th bhava is a so for discip ine. !t indicates T6apa< which discip ines the person<s ife. Strong +th house wi indicate a strong sense of discip ine and, hence, strong princip es. This wi ref ect the e3tent to which the person wi observe discip ine in ife and obedience towards his father and Buru. "5 strong +th and the Sun p aced in /th or @th from 9agna indicates the person to be very obedient to father.# The +th house a so ref ects the past karma of the person. !t is the good deeds in one<s ife that determine the 1ua ity of ife one wou d ead in the ne3t birth. The physica body of a person perishes with time, but the atma carries with it the karma accumu ated by the person. !t is according to this karma that one gets the share "Bhagya * derived from bhaga or bhagam, meaning the share from father>Bod# of the materia things in the wor d. Hence, the +th house is a so ca ed the house of <Bhagya< * meaning, what one wou d en$oy as his>her share of things in the wor d as decided by Bod. Since the +th signifies the thighs of the person, it a so indicates ong distance $ourneys. ?hi e studying ong distance $ourneys, it is very important to study the 46a apatha saham4

(7ala - meaning waterQ 'atham - meaning crossingQ and saham - meaning 'oint) to rec&on whether the 'erson will cross large $odies of water (oceans etc.,) and also S#aradesa sahamS (#aradesa - meaning foreignQ and saham - meaning 'oint) to rec&on whether the 'erson will have residence in foreign land. +owever, the sam$andha of Shu&ra is also to $e rec&oned as he is the significator of vehicles (means of conve%ance), while /etu, the mo&sha&ara&a, will indicate astral travels (travel of the atma $% detachment from the 'h%sical self - which is normall% attained onl% $% Sadhus after strong ta'as%a. /etu hel's attain this $% wa% of detaching the mind from the 'h%sical self.). Hth $hava $eing the house of the .ord, it also indicates tem'les and other 'laces of worshi' (strong influence of Sur%a on Hth will indicate construction of tem'les, while affliction from (ahu will indicate destruction4desecration of religious 'laces). Hth $hava also indicates the wife of the %ounger $rother and also the wife3s %ounger sister. "nother as'ect that could $e seen from the Hth house is 3renunciation3 and its timing is to $e derived from its 3-rig -asha3 (-rig - is the 'ower to see). The s'iritual guru of the 'erson is to $e seen from the 35imsamsa3 (-->J) chart of the 'erson. It is the s'iritual guru who can hel' and guide the 'erson during tr%ing times and 'ut him4her on the right 'ath. Thus, we ma% see that the Hth house is a ver% im'ortant house of the horosco'e of a 'erson. It reflects the 'rinci'les and ideals of the 'erson and to what e;tent will he4she follow it in life. Thus, a good and strong Hth house would mean a strongl% 'rinci'led life and o''osite would hold true in case of afflictions of the Hth. 8onnection $etween the lords of the Hth and =Jth $havas will indicate S-harma&armadi'ati 6ogaS which will mean that the 'erson will use the 'rinci'les (whatever acCuired from famil% and from guru) in 'erforming &arma (9o$). +ence, it ma% safel% $e assumed that 'rescri$ing a stone4gem of the Hth lord would $e immensel% $eneficial to the 'erson at all times with the e;ce'tion $eing the case where the Hth lord is also the lord of the Fth house (the house of enemies). "lso, 7u'iter $eing the lord of the Hth of the natural ,odiac, chanting the mantra SOm !urave 1amahaS will strengthen the Hth house, while chanting the mantra SOm Sat !urave 1amahaS will 'acif% him4her and also strengthen the 'erson s'irituall%.

Since this is in 8apricorn * the )0th house of the natura zodiac, the significance>importance of the )0th house in every individua s chart becomes very important and centra to a person<s 1ua ity of ife and action. 5 strong )0th house determines whether a person wi become a karmayogi or not. &arma is action> abour and perform karma one e3pends energy. Therefore, the first significator of the )0th house becomes Saturn "Sani# as he uses up a great dea of energy to do a work. Besides, Saturn is the p anet who keeps the account of a bad karmas of a person and punishes a person according to the deeds of the person. Thus, Saturn is a so known as a <&armic p anet<. Besides the individua karma, Saturn a so keeps an account of the <;itri

Therefore, the first action of a person born on this earth shou d be to wipe away the <pitri rina<. 9ord &rishna says in Bhagwad Bita that b essed are those who die without any debts * <pitri rina< in particu ar. To wipe away a accumu ated debts and to perform work one needs energy and this energy comes from the p anet %ars "%anga #. %ars, thus, becomes the ,nd important p anet so far as the )0th house is concerned. 5s a matter of fact, this one of the prime reasons why %ars e3a ts and a so attains digba in the )0th house. %ars is represented by 9ord Hanuman who is a symbo of supreme strength and energy. Regu ar prayers to 9ord Hanuman wi thus remove a %artian aff ictions and he p perform right karma.

?here does a the energy of %ars come fromD Sun "Surya# "'arayan# is the on y source from where %ars draws the strength>energy. Sun is therefore another chief p anet for the activities of the )0th house. Sun a so gains digba a ong with %ars in the )0th house. !t is, therefore, very important that a karma>activity is performed during the day when there is natura sun ight.

;erformance of any karma>activity * either good or bad * re1uires inte igence "Dhi shakti#. Thus, 6upiter, the chief significator of <Dhi Shakti< becomes the -rd important p anet for the )0th house. Regu ar chanting of <Brihaspati Bayatri< he ps strengthen 6upiter, which eventua y strengthens the inte igence of the person and a so he ps the person perform on y right and good karma.

Gne of the most important aspects of doing any karma>action, is the basic desire to do so. This desire for doing a karma comes from the p anet %ercury "Budh#. Therefore, %ercury becomes a very important p anet for the )0th house. 5 weak and aff icted %ercury cou d ruin the ife of a person due to ack of desire to perform any karma>activity. The positive sides apart, the fo owing are the negative sides of the above p anets in the )0th house when they are either too strong or weak>aff ictedP ). Sun E short term goa s over shadow the ong term>actua goa s of the person. Therefore, the ayana "direction# of the person is ost. ,. Saturn E there is too much of hard work with minimum of returns or very itt e achievement. -. %ars E there is very high energy eve and there is too much drive>passion in anything>work undertaken by the person. /. 6upiter E there is simp y too much know edge and, therefore, ack of focus because of the broad base of know edge. This aspect can, however, be contro ed by strengthening Saturn "the ord of 6upiter<s debi ity# * the primary eve of contro . The secondary eve of contro is by strengthening %oon "the ord of 6upiter<s e3a tation#. Saturn * 6upiter con$unction causes <Brahma :oga<.

The different aspects of karma>activity areP "a# 8reation "b# ;reservationK and "c# Destruction

The p anet occupying the )0th house signifies the karma>activity that wou d be performed by the individua . Sun in the )0th wi signifies the creation. !t represents a king or top positions in the government. !t is bhagwan Ram who decides who wi be the king. Thus, Sun in the )0th wi give Ra$yoga whi e its aff iction wi give the opposite * <;ravra$ya yoga<, meaning renunciation. Sun aspected by Saturn wi cause de ay or oss of the Ra$yoga. %oon in the )0th signifies preservation. The sustenance of the Ra$yog depends on the wi of &rishna "%oon#. 5 weak or aff icted %oon wi render an osci ating Ra$yog. To sustain such a weak or osci ating ra$yog, it is important to strengthen %ars "the ord of %oon<s debi ity# at the primary eve , and Aenus "the ord of %oon<s e3a tation# at the secondary eve . The e eventh house is the house of gains and is known as 9abha Bhava. The gains though main y seen in terms of monetary gains, in genera this house signify the gain of a ob$ectives and desires. !t is interesting to note that the third house is the house of desires and counted in the anti*zodiaca direction, the -rd house shows the fu fi ment of desires. This the why %aharishi 6aimini says that this is the house of Hara or destruction of desires. This is the ast of the four upachayas "->M>)0>))# and being a upachaya, p anets p aced here cause growth of the agna or the se f. 5 most a p anets give auspisicious resu ts whi e p aced in this house as they sha he p in gaining different ob$ectives of the ife. However, it must be remembered that a p anets have their own way to fu fi their goa sK ma efics wou d do this in their own ma efic way and benefics wou d do this in a benefic way. ;rimari y the p anets p aced in this house, shows gain in the ife of the native, re ated to the significations of the p anets so p aced. So un ess, p anets are bad y p aced "debi itated, in inimica sign# or aff icted "p aced with> aspected by ma efics#, good resu ts can be pronounced, without much afterthought. 2rom the 5rga a perspective, the p anets p aced in this house sha have dhanarga a on the )0th house of karmapha aK sukharga a on the @th house of aayu and abharga a on the 9agna bhava.

"nal%sis of Bhava UII- #lanets in the *ighth +ouse I1T(O-08TIO1 *ighth house shows the sum total of all our 'ast &arma, for which we have ta&en $irth in this world. The $irth in this world is due to all the sins and mista&es we have done in the 'ast lifeT lives and hence this house signif% the wea&nesses which ma&e us $ind to this illusor% world. Once all the &armas are redeemed, there is no need of sta%ing an% longer in this world and hence, this house also $ecomes the houses of longevit%.

"lmost all shastras sa% that there should not $e an% malefics in the eighth house, otherwise the longevit% of the native is severel% curtailed. +owever, malefic such 'laced is either e;alted or own house, then the longevit% is not much affected. "long with the longevit% of the native, this house also rule the longevit% of relationshi's or marital ties. alefics 'laced here can affect the marital harmon% and longevit% of the marriage. "mong malefics, ars3s 'lacement is the worst 'lacement and it goes $% the name of /u9a dosa. This cause e;treme trou$les in marriage and the s'ouse might suffer death (if ars is $adl% 'laced) or $ad health.

#lanets in the eighth house generall% e;'ress their negative Cualities. Though shastras classif% 'lanets as $enefics and malefics, all 'lanets are ca'a$le of giving good or $ad results $ased on whether their negative or 'ositive Cualities are e;'ressed. The 'ositive Cualities are dis'la%ed when a 'lanet is well 'laced in e;altation or mulatri&ona or own house or friends house and the negative Cualities are dis'la%ed when a 'lanet is de$ilitated or in enemies house. This must $e &e't in mind while anal%sing a $hava and it is s'ecificall% a''lica$le to eight house as this house is the house of our wea&nesses. *ven if a malefic is 'laced here, it must $e ver% strong, for favoura$le results, otherwise, the results can $e e;tremel% trou$lesome.

2rom the arga a perspective, the p anets in the eighth house sha have dhanarga a on the .th house, sukharga a on the fifth house and abharga a on the ninth house. Thus the significations of houses (th, .th and +th are significant y inf uenced by the p anets in the eighth house.

The p acement of %oon in the eighth is condemned by most c assics. This position of %oon goes by the name of chandrastama. 2or such positions of %oon, the native suffers with regards to the functiona and natura significations of %oon. 5s moon govern the physica body and mind and its resistance to diseases etc., such position of %oon can cause chronic i nesses and a so menta troub es such as depression etc. 5mong a the p anets the p acement of %ercury in the eighth house is accorded high regards by a shastras. %ercury is treated as grandson by the karaka of the eighth houseK Saturn and %ercury rare y give bad resu ts if p aced in eighth house, un ess heavi y aff icted.

Saturday, September J<, >JJ< 5na ysis of Bhava ^!* ; anets in the Seventh House !'TRGDH8T!G' The seventh house is primari y seen for re ationships and marita aspects of a native and secondari y for business and trade. ;resence of ma efics or aff iction otherwise to this house cause marita disharmony, troub e to spouse<s hea th.

Since this house is opposition to the 9agna, p anets p aced here significant y affect the 9agna by aspect. !f the p anets p aced here is friend to the 9agna ord, then the 9agna "se f# gains from the significations of the .th house, however, if inimica to the 9agna ord, then the native suffer due to the significations of the p anets p aced in the seventh.

with the opposite se3 and they tend to be more passionate and ike to have company with many partners. !f these p anets are aff icted, then this might cause perversions. %ars and %ercury gets into %arana karaka avastha since, %ars is a bache or and hence abhors marriage or any re ationship with the opposite se3. 2or %ercury, he is sti an undeve oped se3ua y and thus in the house of re ationship, %ercury fee s e3treme y uncomfortab e.

"nal%sis of Bhava U- #lanets in the Si;th +ouse I1T(O-08TIO1 Si;th house is commonl% called the "n $hava or the $hava of enemies and it is also an 0'acha%a. Being an u'acha%a, the 'lanets 'laced in this house 'romotes the significations of the .agna $hava and hel' in its growth. It is usuall% said the the $est 'lace for the alefics are the u'acha%as. +owever, their 'lacement in the si;th house is tric&% since, this 'osition on one hand gives valour and the 'ower to conCuer enemies, on the other, it gives trou$le from the enemies. +owever if the lagna lord is stronger than the si;th lord, then the native wins over the enemies and otherwise if the si;th lord is stronger. The &ind of enemies can $e seen from the natural significations of the 'lanet who is 'laced in the si;th house. For e;am'le, if Sun is 'laced in the si;th there shall $e enemit% with influencial 'ersons and 'ersons from the govt. This might also show the 'redominant characteristic on the enemies. The $enefics 'laced in this house ma&es the 'erson free from enemies and if there is enemit%, the native conCuers his enemies without much effort.

This is also the house of diseases. The diseases caused in this $hava is more 'athogenic than 'h%siological. If a 'lanet is wea&l% 'laced in this $hava then the native suffers diseases in the 'h%siological s%stem ruled $% the 'lanet. The 'h%siological s%stem ruled $% different 'lanets are as follows:

Sun - S&eletal s%tem oon - 8irculator% s%stem ars - uscular s%stem ercur% - 1ervous s%stem including s&ins 7u'iter - -igestive s%stem 5enus - (e'roductive s%stem Saturn - *;cretor% s%stem

"long with the s%stems governed $% different 'lanets, the% also govern other $od% 'arts, which needs to $e studied to understand different diseases a 'erson would $e suffering with. 0nderstanding diseases are an essential 'art of medical astrolog% and shall $e ta&en u' in another article.

Si;th house is also the house of maternal uncles and in whole it re'resents the mother3s famil%. If malefics are 'laced here as well as afflicted, then the native3s maternal uncles might suffer.

If a $enefic is 'laced in the si;th, its natural significance suffers with the e;'ense of the house itself (the house gains with the 'lacement of a $enefic). Thus is oon is 'laced in the si;th the 'erson suffers with lac& of mental felicit% and involved in man% unlawful activities if afflicted too. Similarl% if 5enus is so 'lace, the significations such as relationshi', marital harmon% etc., suffer heavil% and if 7u'iter is so 'laced, the 'erson suffers due to e;cessive eating (the% would li&e to eat, $ut man% things would $e 'rohi$ited $% the doctor). If ercur% is so 'laced, then the 'erson gets into trou$le due to communication and he is trou$led $% his &iths R &ins.

5enus is 'laced in arana /ara&a "vastha ( /") in this house and the natural as well as functional significations of 5enus significantl% suffer while it is 'laced here. #lanets in si;th have argala on the Eth, Gth and the Drd house. +ence 'lanets in this how singnificantl% affect the significations of the mentioned houses.

" 'lanet gives unfavoura$le results if it is wea& $% 'lacement vi,., 'lacement in de$ilitation or enemies house. if it is under the influence of natural malefics Saturn, (ahu, ars, Sun or /etu. The relations signified $% a house suffer, if the house is 'laced with malefics (afflicted) and the lord of the house is wea&l% 'laced as well. If $enefic as'ects such house, the suffering is either nullified or minimised to great e;tent. The influence on the lord of the the $hava also shows the effect on the native3s mental ma&eu' towards relations signified $% that house. Thus if the Drd lord is afflicted, the the native might not go well with $rothers. The different relations governed $% the houses are: .agna- Self Second- Famil% as a whole Third- Si$lings in general and %ounger si$lings in 'articular Fourth- other Fifth- 8hildrenQ Secret friends Si;th- *nemies, maternal uncles Seventh- S'ouse *ighth1inth- Father Tenth*leventh- Friends, #aternal uncle Twelfth- Secret enemies

The natural $enefics (7u'iter, ercur%, oon R 5enus) are good for the health and longivit% of the relations and natural malefics (Saturn, ars, Sun, (ahu R /etu) cause health trou$les and reduction in longevit% and health. In the the third house malefics give lesser si$lings and in the fifth house it gives difficulties in $irth of children and also lesser in num$ers.

T+* ."!1" .agna is 'rimaril% a &endra $hava and secondaril% a tri&ona $hava and hence #arashara sa%s that this $hava is s'ecificall% aus'icious of all natives. If there is affliction to this $hava, the whole horosco'e is affected. alefics 'laced here can harm the $hava, however since this is a &endra $hava, if those malefics ( ars or Saturn) are 'laced in own house or e;altation, the% constitute two maha'urusha %oga namel% (ucha&a and Sasa aha'urusha %oga. )hen such maha'urusha %oga occurs, the 'lanet doesnot harm the $hava and instead 'romote the $hava.

The influence of the 'lanets on the 'h%sical features and nature, while 'laced on the .agna can $e seen from the characteristics of the 'lanets, which are as follows: _ Sun o +as hone%-coloured, golden Brown or Tawn% e%es (madhu 'ingala dr&) o +as SCarish Face (8haturasrah) o +as $ilious teme'erament ('itta 'ra&rti) o Is intelligent (-himan) o +as limited hair (#uman al'a&a) V o o o o o o o V o o o o o V o o o o o oon Is e;tremel% wind% and 'hlegmatic ($ahu vata &a'ha) Is .earned (#ragn%a) +as round face (Brtta) +as good loo&ing e%es (Su$ha -r&) +as sweet s'eech ( adhu va&%a) Fic&le-minded (8hanchal) Is .asciviousT eager to associate with o''osite se; ( adana "turah) ars +as fierce and $lood-red e%es (&ruraT ra&tetasana) 0nstead% or wavering (cha'ala) +as $ilious tem'erament ('itta 'ra&rti) Is angr% (/rodhi) +as thin waist and 'h%siCue (/rsah adh%a Tanu) ercur% Is admira$le (va'ush) Is s'lendid and $eautiful (Strestha) +as $eautiful s&inT s&in without $lemishes (shlishtva&) Is fond of humor (has%a ruchi) +e has a mi; of all the three humours, i.e., $ilious, 'hlegmatic and wind%

V 7u'iter o +as a $ig $od% (Brhat !atra) o +as Tawn% hair and e%es (#ingala murdha9e&sane) o Is 'hlegmatic (&a'ha 'ra&rti) o Is Intelligent (-himan) o Is e;'ert in all Shastras (Sarva shastra visharada) V 5enus o Is charming (su&hi &anta) o S'lendorous 'h%siCue (va'usshreshta) o +as $eautiful e%es (sulochana) o Is 'oetic (&av%a &arta) o Is *;ceedingl% 'hlegmatic (/a'ha adhi&%a) o Is also wind% ("nilaatma) o +as curl% hair (va&ra murdha9a) V Saturn is o +as an emaciated and long 'h%siCue (/rsha -irgha Tanu) o +as tawn% e%es (#ingala -rsti) o Is of wind% in tem'erament (anilaatma&ah) 0 +as 'rotruding teeth (sthula danta)

o Is la,% (alasa) o Is .ame (#angu) o +as coarse hair over the $od% (&hara roma)

V 1odes o (ahu has smo&% a''earance (-humra a&ara) o +as $luish $od% (1ila tanu) o +e resides in forests (5anastha) o +e is horrif%ing (Bha%an&arah) o +e is of wind% tem'erament (vata 'ra&rti) o +e is intelligent (-himan) o /etu is a&in to (ahu

1ote: Terms inside the closed $rac&ets are the sans&rit term ta&en from B#+S. Since the .agna signif% the self and the 'ersonalit% of the native, the influence of different 'lanets shall influence the 'ersonalit% of the native too. If more 'lanets are 'laced in the .agna (or as'ect it), the 'erson would $e $road minded as he would $e having the attitude 4 'ersonalit% traits $estowed $% all 'lanets. an% shastras sa% that such 'eo'le will $e a &ing, which in modern conte;t mean an a$le leader or a natural leader.

This is a arana /ara&a Sthana for Saturn and hence the natural significations of Saturn such as longevit% gets severel% affected. +owever, if the% also constitute the aha'urusha %oga, the effect undergo transformation and the arana /ara&a avastha is cancelled.

The different /ara&as for this $havas are: Sun - SoulQ +ealth and 5italit% oon- Bod% 7u'iter - Intelligence Saturn - +air

The effect of different 'lanets on .agna is $ased on their interaction with these different &ara&as. If the% are friends to the /ara&a, the% shall enhance the significations of the &ara&aQ otherwise the% shall affect it adversel%. +owever, it needs to $e em'hasised again that strong 'lanets (e;altation, own, friendl% houses) tend to give less malefic results than the wea&er ones. It is also to $e noted that each 'lanet is a &ara&a for other houses too. If it is 'laced in a dusthana (FthT @thO =>th) from the concerned house (&ar%a $hava), then the native is unfortunate related to the affairs to that house. For e;am'le if Saturn is 'laced in the .agna, it can curtail longevit% since, it is the &ara&a of eighth house (longevit%) and if 'laced in the .agna, it would $e 'laced in si;th house from the eighth, which ha''ens to $e a dusthana from the &ar%a $hava. Similarl% ars is the /ara&a for enemies and if 'laced in the .agna, would $e in the eighth (dusthana) from the si;th house, causing damage to the si;th house. Thus, this 'osition of ars, causes suffering to the enemies in the hands of the native (.agna- self).

One more ver% im'ortant thing to consider is the conce't of argala. #lanets in the .agna would have argala on the =>th house, Drd house and the =Jth house. alefics in the .agna would have the argala on the ==th house too. Thus the 'lanets in the .agna shall effect the influences of these four houses also. If $enefics are 'laced in .agna, then it enhances, e;'enses on good cause, 'ros'erit% of the si$lings, enhacement of re'utation and fame and also income from desira$le sources. alefics 'laced in the .agna gives Cuite o''osite results.

*;ternal and Internal Bhavas Bhavas can $e considered to have two significations, vi,., *;ternal and Internal. The e;ternal ones are as mentioned $efore, whereas the internal ones are given $% 5arahamihira in Brhat 7ata&a.

This difference is ver% im'ortant in the horosco'e anal%sis. One must &now that there are two as'ects of significations of each houseQ one of which shows various e;'ect of our own self , whereas the the other as'ect is more related to the environment we are in and also the relations we are with...

If the $hava, or its lord or the &ara&a is wea&, then also the $hava suffers (>G) The association of a $hava or its lord with si;th, eighth or twelfth or their lords cause suffering to the $hava. The association can $e of following wa%: The dusthana lords are 'laced in the $hava or as'ect the $hava The dusthana lords are con9oined with or as'ect the $hava lords The $hava lords occu'% the dusthanas

Benefics in the Drd, Fth, Gth and =>th $ecome unfavoura$le. alefics in the Drd, Fth or ==th $ecome favoura$le. The most im'ortant of all these houses is .agna. The Eth and Hth houses are eCuall% im'ortant. It is these three $havas that $enefics show their greatest good and malefics their worst evil. "//#

"nal%sis of a Bhava I- Significations of +ouses I1T(O-08TIO1 "nal%sis of $havas is the first ste' to $e ta&en in inter'retation of the horosco'e. Though man% things have $een written on this so far, there are man% inconsistencies in the $oo&s written $% various authors. These inconsistencies tend to discourage an% new students of 7%otisha. Thus this article strives to 'resent the su$9ect in a ver% s%stematic manner and ho'es that the 7%otish enthusiasts and the $eginners would gain su$stantiall% from this.

The article is divided into various sections starting from the significations of BhavasQ !eneral strengths and wea&nesses of $havaQ !eneric effect of Benefics and malefics in the $havas and the s'ecific effect of all the 'lanets in the different $havas. I however admit that this article is no wa% com'rehensive and leaves enough room for im'rovement. I shall modif%T add sections to this as and when time 'ermits.
