My father-Guru Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa

Sastri was a pioneer who struggled to search for and
discover astrological and other classics. Beginning from
1927 he meticulously and authentically edited and published Saaraavali, Sarvaartha Chiritaamani, Jaataka
Tattvam and Paraasara Samhitaa with Tamil translation and comments.
This book is an English transcreation/rendering of
JAATAKA TATTVAM and is brought out to serve
a wider public. We propose to bring out the other
classics Jataaka Alankaaram and Jinendramaalai.
We will be failing in our duty if we do not acknowledge the encouragement given to us by KARC Advisory
Committee.
We are particularly indebted to Professor B. Ardhanareeswaran for all his help and encouragement.
We are highly appreciative of the expeditious and
efficient service done by the enthusiastic printer and
Publisher Mr. M.A. Jaishankar, proprietor of Jaishankar
Printers, Madras-17, (India), grandson of Revered
Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri.
We will gratefully receive suggestions for improvement of this book.

A,CHARY A KADALANGUDI
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once."
How true these.words of Shakespeare in the mouth of
Julius Caesar were iii the case of Revered Pandit Brahmasri Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri. .Here was a valiant man
who braved poverty, braved the ridicule of the athe-ists
atheists, braved the obstruction of the orthodox, and the
prejudice which some vernacular scholars had been enter.
taining against Sanskrit, and with unique and singleminded devotion rendered a.single service in the spread
of the supreme B haaratiya wisdom.
Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri, whose
bilth centenary was celebrated in 1978, had a great share
in the religious and cultural Renaissance since his main
work was in bringing the valuable treasures embedded in
the ancient literature to the attention of the general public
and making them available in a language understood by
the layman. I tis an evidence of his broad culture and a
significant sign of the changing times that he put before
one and all without distinction of caste or community or
religion, Vedic Mantras such as those in the Taitreeya
Aaranyakam. He had dedicated his life to this noble
cause by translating the almost entire religious classics
into Tamil and publishing more than 50 books along with
the original texts in Devanagari script.
BIRTH AND EDUCATION:

Born on 5th October 1878 of the couple Rama Saas. tri and Meenakshi Ammal at Kadalangudi Village near

Kumbakonam in Tanjavur District in Tamil Nadu (India)

he learnt Kaavyas, Naatakas, Alankaaras, Vyaakarana,
Vedanta, Astrology and Mantra Saastras. His Guru Bha
kti was such that in every publicaticn of his he got it
printed that the rendering was by Mahaamahopaadhyaaya
Vedantakesari Brahmasri Pangaanadu Ganapati Sastri's'
disciple Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri.
ROLE OF EDUCATOR:

In 1908 he started giving discourses at Tirunelveli on'

Advaita Vedanta. From 1914 to 1916 he gave Vadanta'
lessons in Travancore Samasthaanam. During the period
ha specialized in the study of and discussion on Bhaagavatam and Hindu Astrology. He was honoured by the
Maharajah of Travancore. On 25th July 1910 he was
honoured by the Maharajah of Mysore. While introducing him to the Maharajah, Dewan V. P. Madhava Row
remarked:
"Though young he is a man of exceptionally brilliant parts and wonderful grasp of the principles of
the Vedanta. I derived much benefit from his discourses. What I consider to be a special merit in
the young man is his spirit of tolerance." .
The Sankaracharyas of Kanchipuram and Sringeri Mutts
also had conferred titles on him.
THE TIMES IN WHICH HE EMERGED:

At the beginning of the century Hindu orthodoxy

was, to use Shelley' words about Catholicism, "only adoration, faith, submission, blind admiration; not a rule for
moral conduct;" and Hindu Dharma was "a passion.

Ill

persuasion, an excuse, a refuge, never a check according

to the temper of the mind which it inhabited." The stalwarts of the Hindu fold were unwilling to deal in a sympathetic spirit with the growing desire of those educated
in English schools and colleges to get at the rationale of
Hindu custom and usages; and in fact, they refused to
encourage any such quest.
These led to the deplorable result of alienating the
English educated Hindu altogether from that interest in
ancient Indian knowledge which one would gladly have
seen in their mental equipment and from the observance
of those rites and ceremonials which form the indispensable discipline making for purity of thought and body,
necessary for any spiritual development. Their example
easily began to spread this lack of interest even among
non-English educated men; for the former were taken to
be the repositories of modern wisdom whom it would be
unfashionable not to follow. But, fortunately, the tide
has turned.
National leaders like Swami Vivekananda, Tilak,
Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi highlighted the salient
points of India's hoary civilization and glorious culture
inspired by the spiritual insight of her sages, and showed
how a departure from which had resulted in her slavery to
foreign domination. At such a time emerged on the
scene the great Kadalangudi.
JOURNALIST PAR EXCELLENCE :
Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri settled down in
Madras on 27th November 1917. Without much capital
on hand he set up his own Press and launched his monthly

Kumbakonam in Tanjavur District in Tamil Nadu (India)

he learnt Kaavyas, Naatakas, Alankaaras, Vyaakarana,
Vedanta, Astrology and Mantra Saastras. His Guru Bha
kti was such that in every publication of his he got it
printed that the rendering was by Mahaamahopaadhyaaya

scene the great Kadalangudi.

JOURNALIST PAR EXCELLENCE :

Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri settled down in
Madras on 27th November 1917. Without much capital
on hand he set up his own Press and launched his monthly

iv
journal AARYAMATA SAMVARDHANEE, which met a
long-felt need of the public. He popularized through his
journal the rare ancient religious classics through the
medium of reliable Tamil translation and propagated a
knowledge of the significance of Hindu rituals, method of
workship, etc.
GRAND PUBLICATIONS:
The period 1923 to 1928 saw the publication of 9
Vedic books, 6 Upanishads, 4 Vols of Brahmasuutra Sankkara Bhaashyam, 7 Vols, of Srimad Bhaagavatam 12
Astrol6gy books and more than 12 Stotra books. Each
book carried a scholarly Preface as lengthy as Bernard
Shaw's detailed contents and an Index of Slokas to be of
help to the users of the book; the Rt. Hon'ble Srinivasa
Sastri echoed the thought of the other readers when he
said Kadalangudi's footnotes were imaginative and considerate of the reader's difficulty.
The value of each book was enhanced by the
author's collateral references which bring together
all the learning on the subject and critical commentary at once admirable and most helpful. In the astrology books' judgement based on the author's experience
is also given wherever there are conflicting schools of
thought. The meaning of the text is clearly and succinctly explained; the exposition is complete and authoritative.
No wonder his books are used for research guidance.
His astrology books continue to be used as basic reference books by Tamil-knowing people all over the world.

THE GREATNESS OF KADALANGUDI'S

TRANSLATION;
Only those who are engaged in translation work can
realize how arduous the work is; while the difficulty of
communicating the ideas in one language through the
medium of another is always difficult, it is still more difficult to translate a valuable abstruse work from Sanskrit
in to Tamil. Thiru Vi. Ka. opines thus:"Many will flinch from even undertaking the translation of such abstract and scholarly treatises. But this
is what the learned Kadalangudi Sa~ttriar has dared to do
in a spirit of dedication and service, regardless of praise
or blame. And it is wonderful how well he has done
this superhuman task. Our mind does not permit us to
state that Acharya Kadalangudi Natesa Sastriar is working at the translation purely from the standpoint of learning. But we can confidently affirm that he is labouring
also from the standpoint of love that transcends all
"knowledge.
This swelling flood of translation flows from a source
full of knowledge and love and it is the bounden duty of
every Tamilian to drink it... South India was all the poorer
for want of accurate translation of the great classics. But
this want has now been supplied and the ideas in the
classics made accessible to the Tamil public by the Tamil
translation so nobly undertaken by Acharya Kadalangudi
Natesa Sastri, that veteran scholar. We in the South owe
him a deep debt of gratitude for this labour of love."

vi
What is not widely known is that he was a great poet;
. he has left behind him a large number of Sanskrit verses
which constituted his diary.
Around 19"40 Kulapati K. M. Munshi invited him to
become Principal of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Sanskrit
College in Bombay; Kadalangudi declined it with thanks
since .he wanted to be self-employed and enjoy the accruing freedom to pursue his studies.
RAJAJI'S TRIBUTE:

While speaking at Kadalangudi's Sataabhishekam'

function (completion of 81 years 4 months of age equivalent to 100 lunar years) at Siva-Vishnu Temple in Madras
on October 11, 1958 Rajaji (who was of the same age)
expressed as follows :

"The public need not bother to arrange another grand celebration ofmy 'Sataabhis.hekam'.
I deem it to have been celebrated along with this
function in honour of the veteran scholar Revered
Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri."
Such was the mutual admiration and affection between
the two intellectual giants.
HIS END:

The Revered Pandit who laid the Indian public under

deep obligation to him by publishing and propagating
ancient works and making the most valuable contribution
to the study of Advaita Vedanta, Srimad Bhaagavatam,
and Hindu Astrology attained immortality at the holiest

VII

of holy moments: at 11-30 p.m. on Mahaasivaraatri in

1961 (on Feb. 14, 1961 at the Lingaavirbhava Lagna).
HIS MISSION:

Bo\h in the several books and in his numerous lectures he had stood for the consolidation based on ths Vedas
of the Hindu Dharma by ensuring social unity along with
individual purity. He had been and continues to be a
source of inspiration to many of his disciples who have profited by learning the gems hidden in the ancient classics
both philosophical and didactic, and which have a direct
bearing on the practical conduct of everyday.
- He had no sons and therefore he chose to give intensive training i*n the practice of Astrology to his youngest
daughter K. N. Saraswathy, and training in exposition of
epics and ' Naaraayaneeyam to his eldest son-in-law
Anantaraama Deekshitar.
The great Pandit had no patience or time to lose with
indifferent disciples or those without intuition, as far as
astrology was concerned. Astrological study required
more intel'lse concentration, capacity for application, and
intuition. So the only disciple who completed the course
and internship in astrology under Kadalangudi was
K. N. Saraswathy. Everi after the course he was happy to
have her as apprentice and collaborator in republishing
the astrology books.

First House

The native gets good fortune, fame, wealth

and long life, if the lord of the ascendant is very
much strengthened, associated with benefic class
(Subha varga), is in its exaltation or in its
Navaamsa associated with its friendly planets,
associated with the lords of the 1st, 4th, 7th
or lOth house. There w.ill be discomforts tothe physique of the native if the lord of the
ascendant is associated with a malefic. So is
the result of the lord of the ascendant placed in
the 8th house. But even in the above cases, if
the lord of the ascendant is aspected by the benefics, the results will be contrary to what is
said before. That is, there will be no lack of
physical comforts.
The native is prone to suffer fresh diseases
if the lord of the ascendant or the ascendant is
associated with the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th.
The native will not suffer from diseases if the
lord of the ascendant, even though weakened,
is placed in house 1,4,7 or 10 or in 1, 5 or 9.
The native will have a weak body if the
lord of the house wherein the lord of the ascendant is placed is house 6, 8 or 12. Likewise it is
generally said that the lords of the bhaavas
when placed in 6, 8 or 12 harm their own bhaava. The native is cheated by others, lives under

Jaataka Tiutvam

fear of thieves, etc. if the malefics are in the 1

ascendant associated with Gulika, or if the lord
of the ascendant is associated with a malefic, or
if Rahu is in the ascendant.- There will certainly
be fear of thieves, royal disfavours, cheating by
others if the ascendant is associated with or aspected by Saturn.
The elders opine that the native will have a
large kidney if Rahu is associated with Mars
and is placed in the ascendant or if Rahu is
associated with Saturn. The kidney of the native
will be enlarged if the lord of the ascendant is
in the 8th house, or if Rahu and Gulika are in
(he 8th house. The kidney is large if Rahu is
in the ascendant, Gulika is in the 5th or the
9th house Mars in association with Gulika is in
the 8th house. The kidney will be large if the
lord of that house ( wherein the Navaamsa of
the lord of the ascendant is placttd) is associated
with Rahu, Mars and Gulika. The kidney
will be enlarged if the lord of the house housing
the lord of the 8th house is associated with
Rahu.
; '
It is said that the native will have head injuries caused by the pelting of stones or by a
knife etc., if Mars is the lord of the ascendant
land is placed in the ascendant, and associated

First House

with or aspected by a malefic. If Saturn is

placed as said before (i.e. Saturn being the lord
of the ascendant and is placed in the ascendant
and is associated with or aspected by a malefic)
the native will suffer head injuries due to wind,
fire or weapon or falling On the ground.
The astrologists proclaim that the native
will have a big head if 5 ghatis ,are past at the
time of birth in the Lagna, will not have a big
head if only 2i ghatis are past, will have a small
head if less than 2i ghatis are past. They say
that the native will have a lean body if a dry
sign (Raasi) is the ascendant and therein is
housed a dry planet. The native will suffer
much and have a lean thin body if the lord of
the ascendant is associated with a dry planet or
housed in the house of a dry planet, and the
lord of the ascendant is in the 8th house and an
ascendant is a dry sign. If the lord of the Navaamsa of the house occupied by the lord of the
ascendant is in dry sign the body of the native
will also be dried up. It is said that the native
will have a thin body if the dry sign is the
Lagna and associated with many malefics.
The native will have a fat body if the
ascendant is a wet sign and associated with
the~benefics. They teach that the physique ofthe
native will be well-built if the ascendant is a

Jaataka Taavam

wet planet, is strengthened and is associated

with gentle planets. The physique ofthe native
will be well-built if the lord of the ascendant
is in a wet sign, is associated with a wet planet
or aspected by a wet planet, the ascendant being
the sign of a benefic, the lord of the Navaamsa
of the house occupied by the lord of the ascendant placed in a wet sign.
The physique will be well-built as said
above if the sign (Raasi) of the benefic is ascendant and devoid of the aspects of any malefic.
The body will be healthy if Jupiter is in the
ascendant or the ascendant is aspected by Jupiter or a planet having a wet sign, or the ascendant is a wet sign. It is said that the body will
be very stout if there are benefics in the ascendant and aspected by other benefics. It is
said that the native will suffer from evils caused
by the witches if Saturn or Rahu is in the
ascendant.
The native will suffer from breathing trouble, tuberculosis, stomach-ache, etc. if the Sun
is in the ascendant and is being aspected by
Mars. The native will undergo sufferings caused
by weapons if Mars is in the ascendant and aspected by Saturn and the Sun. There will certainy be fears caused by thieves and witches

First House

(devils) if Ketti is in the ascendant and is as

pected by many malefics. The native will loiter
much if the ascendant is in a movable sign or
the lord of the ascendant is in a movable sign.
They say that the native will travel much if the
movable sign is an ascendant and the Navaamsa
ascendant also is a movable sign. The native
will visit foreign countries if the movable sign is
the ascendant and the lord of the ascendant is in
the movable sign and aspected by the movable
planets. If the ascendant is a fixed Raasi, the
native will earn much fortune in his own native
land. The native will be very wealthy if the
fixed sign is the ascendant and therein are housed fixed planets.
When the fixed Raasi becomes the ascendant and therein are posited fixed planets or a
movable planet and a fixed planet the native
gets great fortune and fame; and with fame and
fortune he moves to many places, steps in illways (in order to get high positions). The
native is serious-minded if the lord of the
ascendant is strengthened and is in its exaltation. If the lord of the ascendant is weak the
native is opposite of what has been said ,above 1
(i.e. he is not serious~minded) and is also an
idiot. But if the lord of the ascendant is a&pec,

Jaataka Tattvam

ted by or associated with or the ascendant is

aspected by or associated with benefics, the
native will not be an idiot. The native leads
a comfortable life since his childhood if the
benefics are in the ascendant and aspected by
other benefics. If in such positions there is any
relation (yoga) with any malefic, the native will
not have a comfortable life right from his childhood. The native is always grief-stricken from
his birth to his death, if many malefics are
placed in the ascendant. The native is blessed
with comforts till his death if the lord of the
ascendant is in the ascendant. The native is
blessed with comforts till his death if the lord
of the ascendant is in V argottamaamsa or in
its own exalted Navaamsa, or in the trinta1
(treshkaana) of its friendly house and aspected
by or associated with benefics.

middle stages of life if the ascendant (at the
birth) and benefics are in 12 and 11 and the lord
of the ascendant is strong and is placed in a
quadrant and Jupiter is in Simhaasanaamsa.
Similarly those born at a time when the ascendant, the 2nd and 3rd houses are aspected by
benefics, and the lord of the ascendant is benefic and benefics are in the amsaa called Paaraa-

First House

vataamsa, enjoy happiness in the early and middle stages of their Iives.

time~ofbirth the ascendant is strong and Jupiter occupies the 1st, 4th, 7th or lOth house. The
person enjoys comforts and pleasures through wife, off. spring and friends when the lord
of the ascendant is in what is called Paaraavataamsa. The native enjoys comforts in his middle
and old ages if the lord of the ascendant is in

is termed as Devalokaamsa, and the ascendant is
aspected by benefics. There will be first sufferings and then comforts in the lives of those
whose horoscope contains a benefic in the ascendant, a malefic in the 2nd house and 1,4,7 and
10 is occupied by malefics and the: lord of the
ascendant .in Vargottamaamsa.
The childhood will be comfortable and the
later stages will be full of hardships if the
ascendant is occupied by a malefic, benefics in
the 2nd and 9th, and the lord the ascendant
in Devalokaamsa. The great sages of astrology

the ascendant and the lord of fortune even
when placed in debilitation but moving towards
their exaltation bestow worldwide fame on
the native. When aspected by or associated
with benefics, both the lord of the ascendant
and the lord of fortune give worldwide fame).

the native enjoys happiness in the earlier stages
of his life and sorrow in the later stages. There
i s also sorrow and grief if malefics occupy the
4th and 5th houses.

fame, wealth, prosperity and a long life if the
tord of the ascendant is aspected by or associated with benefics and is placed in exaltation

Shashthyamsa. The native becomes a pauper if
the 2nd house, or the lord of the 2nd house or
thot of the lith house is associated with malefics. The lord of the house occupied by the
owner of the 12th house gets an association of
the lord of the house of wealth or an aspect
thereof. The Sun being debilitated and conjoined with the malefics and occupying an angular"
house makes the man poor. The lord of the
house housing the lord of the 2nd house placed
in the Shashthyamsa called 'Kaaladanda' makes

12th house is weak and associated with Mars.
When the owner of the 12th house is a weakling and is in association with the lord of the

suffers a loss of wealth through theft or fire
when Mars occupies the 2nd house!
102-104) There will be much expenses on
providing meals to others if Jupiter occupies a
triangular bouse. The native loses money on
account of his expenses of his-bed-comforts and
loiters penniless on the earth when Rahu occupies either the 6th, 8th or 12th house. The
planet that occupies the 2nd house and is con.
joined with the lord of either the 6th, 8th or
12th house and is associated with the lord of a
triangular house causes loss of wealth. t
Yoga for poverty

105-110) The native is a pauper if the

occupies the ascendant, and the lord of the 1st

house is in the 6th house and is conjoined with
Maaraka-lord. The native becomes a pauper
when both the Sun and the Moon are in the ascendant and are aspected by or conjoined with
Maaraka-lord. Malefics placed in 2,4 and 5 to
the significator of wealth make the person a pauper. One will become a pauper if the lord of
wealth has a benefic in 3 and 6, if a benefic is in
10 and a malefic is in 2.
Yoga for utter poverty
111-113) The native suffers from utter
poverty if the lord of the 9th occupies the 12th
house, the lord of the 12th in the 2nd, and malefics in the 3rd house. The Moon, Jupiter and
Saturn in angular houses, Gulika and Mars in
the 5th, 12th or 8th house make the person
utterly poor. The Moon and the Sun placed in
each other's amsa and in the same sign make
the native a pauper for ever.
Yoga for a prince to become a pauper
114-116) Even a prince will be a pauper
if the Sun and the Moon are in Aquarius and
the rest of the planets are in debilitated houses.
The prince becomes a pauper when Mercury,
the Moon, Mars and Saturn are debilitated and

28

occupying an angular house bestows all kinds
of prosperity. The lord of the ascendant placed
in the house of a benefic or in its own exaltation

or ah angular house is occupied by the lord of
the house of wealth and Jupiter. The person is
prosperous if the Sun is in what is called devalokaamsa and the ascendant is strong. The
lord of the ascendant being strong and located
in a Subha varga, and conjoined with the lord
of the angular house makes the person prosperous. The native is prosperous when the Sun
is in the ascendant, is aspected by the benefics
and the lord of the ascendant is in the lOth
house. All will be well if the benefics occupy
the 11th and 5th houses. The native becomes

will be a leader of 20 people if the lord of the \
wealth is associated with a benefic and is in an
amsa called Paaraavatamsa. The native will
protect the lives of many if Jupiter is in Simhaasanaamsa, Venus in Gopuram, and the lord of
the house ofwealth in Airavataamsa. The native
protects 30 people when the lord of wealth is in
Simhaasanaamsa or in Paaraavatamsa and is

EFFECTS OF THE 3rd (brothers') HOUSE

Yogafor many brothers and happiness through

brothers

1-5) If Lagna or Lagna-Jord has in the

3rd or I lth house Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and
the Moon, several brothers will be born; ifKetu
is there (in the 3rd or 11th), several sisters
will be born. If the lord of the 3rd is in own
house and aspected by a benefic, the native will
have brothers. If the lord of the 3rd is conjoined with a benefic in a Kendra, brothers will be
favourable to the native. If the 3rd house is

Jaataka Tattvam

31

conjoined or aspected by a benefic and if the

lord of the 3rd is strong, the native will gain
brothers. If the lord or the Kaaraka of the 3rd
is strong and has relationship with a benefic,
gain of brothers is predicted.
6-ll) If the lord of the 3rd is in Gopuraamsa and the Kaaraka (of the 3rd) is vn Simhaasanaamsa, and if it happens to be a benefic's
house, brothers will be born, If the lord of the
3rd is in Paaraaavatamsa in Kendra and is aspected by a benefic or conjoined with him, there
will be brothers. If the lord of the 3rd is in
Sowmyaamsa, brothers are to be predicted. If
the lord of the 3rd is strong and is in the 3rd
itself; brothers are certain to be born . In case
the lord of the 3rd is in a Mridvamsa and is
conjoined or aspected by a benefic, brothers
will be there. In case the lord of the 3rd is in
Vaiseshikaamsa and has association or aspect
of a benefic, the native will have brothers.

Affection or enmity of brother

12-13) If the lord of the 3rd and the lord
of Lagna are friends, the native will have affectionate brother(s), and if they are enemies, the
brother(s) will be inimicaL If. the Kaaraka of
the 3rd and the lord of the 3rd are in the amsa
of a masculine Raasi and are aspected by a mas

32

Third House

culine planet, there will be gain, of brother(s).

Otherwise, there will be gain of sister(s); and
if mixed conditions exist, there will be gain of
both brother(s) and sister(s).

Yoga relating to t}1e number of brothers

14- 17) The amsa rising from the 3rd
house indicates the number of brothers. The
amsa of the planet occupying the 3rd house will
indicate the number of brothers. From the amsa
of the Raasi occupied by the lord of the 3rd and
the Kaaraka of the 3rd bhaava we can know the
number of brothers. From the amsa of the
Raasi occupied by the planet associated with the
lord of the 3rd house, we can know the number
of brothers.
Knowing if it is going to be brother or sister
18-19) If female planets are in the 9th,
sisters will be born; and, if malefic planets are
there, brothers will be born. If Mercury and
Jupiter are in the 2nd house and Rahu is m
Virgo, there will be three brothers.
Yoga for brotherlessness and loss of br.others
20-:--25) If the lord of the 3rd and Mars
are in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, there will be
no brothers. If Mars and the lord' of the 3rd
are in the 6th and if it is a malefic's house, brothers will be born but will die. If the Kaaraka

Jaataka Tattvam

33

of the 3rd is debilitated or in a 'NeecaNavaamsa' and is aspected by a malefic, and is in an

Shashthyamsa, there will be loss of brothers.
If the 3rd house gets association or aspect of
evil planet(s), loss of brothers will happen. If
the lord of the 3rd is hemmed between evil planets, loss of brothers is to be predicted. Loss
of-brothers will be there if the 3rd house is in
the midst of evil planets or is conjoined with a
debilitated planet, and has no aspect of any
benefic.
26-33) If the lord of the amsa occupied
by the lord of the 3rd is in the 6th which is a
debilitated, 'astangata ', or inimical (house),
harm to brothers is to be foretold. If the Kaaraka of the 3rd bhaava ('Sabodara-Kaaraka') is
in the midst of malefics, harm to brothers is the
effect. If the lord of the 3rd is in the 3rd in
Kroora-Shashtbyamsa and aspected by malefics, there will be harm to brothers. If the lord
of the amsa, in which the lord of the 3rd is
posited in Navaamsa, is posited in the 6th, harm
Ito brothers will be the effect. If the lord of the
Navaamsa, in which the lord of the amsa occupied by the lord of the 3rd is debilitated, 'astan-

J-5

34

Third House

gata', or in inimical house, the native's brothers will be harmed. If the lord of the 3rd or
the concerned Kaaraka is in the 6th, 8th or 12th
house, or has conjunction or aspect of a malefic, and is in his exalted house, the native's brothers will be harmed. If malefics are posited
in the 3rd house, there will be harm to brothers
in youth. If the lord of the 3rd or the concerned Kaaraka is conjoined with malefics, the
native's brothers will be harmed.
Yoga for brother less ness

34-56) If Saturn is in the 3rd and aspected by Mars, the native will be brotherless. If
Leo is the Lagna and the Sun is posited there,
the native will have no brothers. If evil planets
are in the 2nd and Rahu is in the 3rd, the
native is brotherless.
Yogafor brother-"s illness

37-39) If the 3rd house 1s the Moon's

Varga and is aspected by Mars, the native's
brother will suffer from diseases. If a malefic is'
in the 3rd house from Mars, brothers will not'
have good health. lfthere is a malefic in the
12th from Lagna, a younger brother will
be there.

Venus and the Sun, the native will become a
government employee. If the lOth from Lagnaamsa has association or aspect of Mercury, the
native will become a government employee. If
Mars, Saturn and the Sun are in the lOth without any benefic's aspect, the native will earn
daily wages. The native will earn daily wages,
1f Saturn is in Lagnaamsa, Venus in debilitation, and the Sun and the Moon in the 12th. If
the planets in the lOth are aspected. by planets,
the native will earn daily wages.
Yoga for having slaves
45-48) If the lord of the 6th is in the
lOth, and if the lord of the lOth is conjoined
with Saturn and is in Kendra, the native will
have slaves. If the lord of Karma has Saturn
as his amsa lord and has association with the
lord of the 6th, he will have several slaves:
If the Sun is aspected by the lord of the 9th
and the lOth, and is in a male Raasi, the native
will have several slaves. If there is a great
deal of beneficial aspects on the lOth house,
slaves will be there.
Yoga for heroism

ect on the 3rd, or if the 3rd is conjoined with a

malefic, or if the 3rd lord is strong, the native
will be heroic. If the lord of the 3rd is in
Kendra or Trikona, the native is heroic. If the
lord of Lagna and the lord of the 3rd conjoin,
the native will have heroism.
Yogafor living on noted work, quarrytfirewood

Moon has no benefic's aspect, the native will be
a slave or beggar. If all the planets have attained Neecaamsa, or have 'set' (reached 'Asta!nana') in the Sun in the lOth or 11th house,
the native is a beggar. If Jupiter is in the 12th,
Saturn in Kendra, and the Moon in Lagna, the
native is a beggar.

t Some wealthy persons born in this Yoga

have been observed begging.

Yoga for dishonourable job

58-60) If Jupiter is in the 2nd or 5th
from the Moon and a benefic or malefic occupies the 8th, the native has a dishonourable
job. If a planet is in a friend's house, the native
is a parasite. If Lagna lord is in the lOth, Saturn is in the 2nd or Trikona, and a malefic is in
the 8th, the native is in )l despicable job. (Even
a government job, however high, becomes at
sometime br other despicable.)
Yogafor gain ofwealthfrom others
61) If in the lOth from Lagna or the Moon
(respectively) the Sun and other planets are
posited, gain of wealth will respectively be from
father, mother, enemy, friend, brother, woman,

occupied by the lord of the lOth from Lagnaplace of the Sun, and place of the Moon, deter,
mines the native's career. Ref" Sloka 62 : If

Fourth House

chemistry and dramatics. If it is the Moon's

amsa, the career relates to conch, pearl, coral,
agriculture, soil, mimicry, government service,
and dependence on Woman. If it is Mars' amsa,
the career will relate to (manosilaa' 'haritaala'
'hingula' ('kunkilya') and gold, sword, wheel,
axe; bow and crusher, police officer, medical
doctor, rail engine driver, rice mill operator,
cook, and any job which depends on his own
strength.
66-69) If it is Mercury's amsa, composing, typing, shorthand, accountancy, 'yantra'.
poetry, painting, books, pictures, fireworks,
wreaths, and scents-will be the careers. If it
is Jupiter's amsa, career will relate to service
done to 'devas', brahmin and pandit, gold, salt,
inks, elephant, law, donation, holy waters, fasting and service in 'mutts'/monasteries. If it is
Venus'-s amsa, precious stones, silver, iron,
cows, class buffaloes, gold, elephant, and horse
will be the trade of the native. If it is Saturn's
amsa, the career will relate to travelling agency,
postal courier, butchery, circus, load-carrying,
ahd a job not suited to his tribe.

Yoga for daily tasks

70-72) The daily progress depends on the
lord of the Navaamsa in which the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam '

39

lOth from Lagna is posited in Gochara. If the

weal~h-giver.is the Sun and if he is posited in
exalted place, he will confer wealth on the
native. If benefic planets are in 1st, 2nd and
11th houses, the native will obtain wealth in
vanous ways.

EFFECTS OF THE 4th (relations) HOUSE

1-6) If the native is born under the Scorpio sign, the mother will have no breast milk to
feed the baby. If Mars ~s in the lOth and Jupiter in the 8th and both are strong the native
" will get no comfort from the mother. The same
will happen when the Moon is in either 6th or
8th and Mars in the 7th associated with a malefic. If either the Moon or Venus is associated
with or aspected by or caught between malefics,
there will be no comfort from mother. Similar
is the fate when either the 4th sign or the lord
r of the 4th is associated with, aspected by or
caught between malefics.

6-11) If Venus is posited in the 7th place

from the Moon and is associated with a malefic.
there will be comfort from the mother. If Saturn isin the 4th and aspected by il malefic, the

40

Fourth House

mother will die soon. With Saturn in the 4th

and aspect of a benefic, the mother's death
will take place after a very long time. If Saturn is in a malefic sign associated with a malefic, the death of mother is certain. If the Moon
is in the 5th place there will be comfort from
the mother. Likewise is the case when the
Moon or Mars is in the lOth or 9th house.
12-18) If the Moon-is in the 7th associated with a malefic, there will be no comfort from
the mother. The same will happen when Jupiter is in Lagna, Saturn in the 2nd, and. Rahu in
the 7th. The mother will not survive if Jupiter
is in Lagna, Saturn in'the 2nd, and Rahu in the
3rd. If the Sun is in the 3rd or 7th and Mars
in Lagna, the mother will not live long. If the
lord of the 3rd is in the 6th, 8th or 12th place
and associated with the Moon, the native will
be suckled by his step-mother. If the Moon is
between malefics or if the malefics are at the 4th
or 7th place from the Moon, the mother will
die. If the lord of the 1st, 4th or 9th is in the
1st, 5th or 9th house or in Kendra position,
the mother and father will die together.
19-25) When Saturn is in the 1st, Sth or
9th place from the Moon, the native born in the
night will lose his mother. If a benefic is in the

Jaataka Tqt(vam

41

4th house or if the Maatru Kaaraka is strong

associated with a benefic and posited in the 4th
the mother will live for a long time. The mother
will live long if the Moon is strong and Venus
is associated with or aspected by a benefic. The
same is the case when Venus or the Moon is in
a benefic Navaamsa or in a Kendra. Find out
the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord
of the 4th. If the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by that lord is in Kendra and strong, the
native's mother will live long.

More about mother

24-=-32) If the lord of the 4th 1s m Lagna
and strong, the mother will be chaste. If the
lord of the 4th is in 'Vaiseshika' amsa and
aspected by a benefic, the mother will be chaste.
The same is the case when the lord of the 4th is
aspected by either a benefic or the Sun. If the
lord of t-he 6th is associated with Mars and the
Moon in the 4th aspected by a malefic, the
mother will be unchaste. If the lord of the 4th
together with Rahu is associated with a malefic,
the mother will be unchaste; (maybe only mentally.) If the lord of the 4th and the lord of
the Lagna are mutually friendly and either asso-

J-6

42

' Fourth House

ciated with or aspected by a benefic the person

will be friendly with the mother. Likewise is
the case when the lord of the 4th is in Kendra
and aspected by either the lord of the Lagna or
a benefic. If there are malefics in the 4th house,
the native will have two or more mothers; but
if a benefic, only one mother.
Happy with animals
32-39) He who is born in a Taurus Navaamsa will be happy with animals. If the aspect
of benefics on the 4th house is great the person
born in that Yoga will be happy with animals.
A person will be happy throughout his life, if
the lord of the Lagna is in V argottama amsa, or
own Navaamsa, in exaltation, or in a friendly
decanate, and is aspected or associated with a
benefic. If benefics are within the 4th house
from Lagna, the baby will be happy in his 1st
year. If Jupiter is in Kendra, and the lord of
the Lagna in the Paaraavata amsa, the child
will be happy inhisyoungeryears. Witha benefic in the 9th, a malefic in the Lagna, and a benefic in the 2nd, and if they are in 'Devaloka'
amsa, the native will be happy in his childhood.
If Venus is in Lagna, the native will be happy
in the first half of his life. If the lord of Lagna
is in a benefic's sign or aspected by a benefic

and is in Gopura-amsa, the native will

be

Happy when?

40-47) If either the lord of Lagna, or t}le

lord of the Navaamsa is occupied by the lord of
Lagna, or the lord of the 11th house is in Sagittarius, happiness will be after the 20th year.
Happiness comes after the 30th year when either
the lord ofthe Navaamsa occupied by the lord
of Lagna or the lord of the Navaamsa occupied
by the lord of the 11th is in Kendra. If benefics are in the 8th place from the 5th (i.e. in the
12th house), happiness will be in middle age.
Happiness will be in youth time, when Jupiter,
the lord of the house occupied by the Moon,
and the lord of Lagna are in Kendra. If benefics are in the 1st, 11th and 12th, and Jupiter in
Kendra in the Simhaasana amsa, happiness to
the native comes in his early and middle years.
When benefics aspect the 1st, 2nd and 3rd signs
and if Jupiter is in Paaraavata amsa in Lagna,
a beneficial sign, there will be happiness of the
native in his early and middle years. If malefics
are in the 2nd, and benefics in the Kendra, and
the lord of Lagna in Vargottama amsa, the person will be unhappy in his early years but happy
later. If benefics are from the 9th to the 12th

44

Fourth House

houses, the person will be happy in his later life.

If Venus is in Devaloka amsa and if Gopura
amsa is rising in the Lagna and aspected by
benefics, the person will be happy both in middle and later years,
Happiness

49-60) If a benefic is in Lagna and is

aspected by a benefic and unassociated with a
malefic, the person will be happy. If five planets
are in their own houses, the person will be extremely happy. If Jupiter aspects the lord of the
4th the perspn will be happy. If a benefic is
in the 4th, the person will be happy. He will be
happy if the lord of the 4th is in the middle of
benefics. If Jupiter being strong is associated
with the lord of the 4th, the person will be
happy. When the lord of the 4th is in Kendra
or in the 1st, .5th or 9th place associated with a
benefic, the person is happy. If the lord of the
4th is in Mrit amsa, the person is happy. If
Jupiter is stronger than the lord of Lagna, the
person will be happy. If the lord of the 4th and
Jupiter are in Gopura amsa, the person will be
happy. When the lord of the 4th is in the 2nd,
6th, 3rd, lOth and 11th in benefic amsas, the
person will be happy. If the Moon is in between
two benefics, the person is happy.

Sorrow
61-74) He who is born in Aries amsa
will be sorrowful due to a cat or rat. He who is
born in Leo Navaamsa will have sorrow from a
dog. He who is born in Virgo Navaamsa will
have sorrow from a spark of fire. When Mercury, Rahu and the Sun are in the 5th, Mars in
the 4th and Saturn in the 8th, the person will
be sorrowful. If malefics are in Lagna, the person will be sorrowful. A malefic in the 4th and
a weak Jupiter cause sorrow though the person
is rich. The same is the case when the lord of
the 4th is either weak or associated with a
malefic.
If the lord of the 4th is in the Navaamsa
of a malefic or in a debilitated sign he will be
sorrowful in spite of riches and sons. Mars
associated with the Sun, and the lord of the
4th, both being in the Navaamsa of malefics
and unaspected by benefics, cause sorrow
throughout life. When the Sun and Mars in the
amsa of a debilitated sign or in the amsa of an
inimical sign, although posited in the 4th, are
aspected by a malefic from an evil amsa, there
will be loss of house and property due to lack of
care and attention. Further, the person will
be unhappy. When the lord of the 8th is in ll th,
the person will be unhappy in childhood. With

46

Fourth House

Saturn in Lagna, Rahu in the 8th and Mars in

the 6th the person will be sorrowful. If the
Moon is between malefics, the person will be
unhappy. If the lord of Lagna is in the 12th
and a malefic in the lOth and if Mars and the
Moon are associated, the person is unhappy:
Predictions about the house
75-82)

If the Moon and Venus are in the

4~h place from t~e N~vaamsa Lagna, the person

Will have a multi-stoned house. If a planet in
exaltation is in the 4th place from the Navaamsa Lagna, the native will have a multi-storied
house. The same is the case when Rahu and
the Sun are in the 4th house from the Navaamsa
Lagna. If Ketu and Mars are in the 4th place
from the Navaamsa Lagna, the person will have
a brick house. A house made of timber will be
there, if Jupiter is in the 4th place from the
Navaamsa Lagna. If the Sun is in the 4th place
from the N avaamsa Lagna the person will have
a hut (made of grass). If the lord of Lagna is
m the 4th and the lord of the 4th in Lagna, the
person will have a house of his own.

82-89) If the lord ofthe 4th is strong and

in. Kendra and aspected by a benefic, the person
~Ill ~et a house. There will be gain of a house
Ifthe lord of the 4th is in Vaiseshika amsa or
In a most exalted position. If the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam

47

Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 4th is in

Kendra, there will be gain of a house. With
the lord of the 9th in Kendra, the lord of the
4th in own exalted house or in a friendly sign,
and a planet in exaltation in the 4th house, the
gain of a beautiful house can be predicted. A
benefic in the 3rd sign, the lord of the 4th and
the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord
of the 4th, both being strong, give to the native
a storied house with compound. If the lord of
the 4th is to the amsa of Simhaasana, Gopura
or Mrit amsa the above Yoga will result. If the
lord of the 4th is in Paaraavata amsa and the
Moon in Gopura amsa aspected by Jupiter the
person will get a house blessed by the gods. If
the lords of the 4th and lOth are associated with
the Moon and Saturn, a most pleasing house
will be obtained.
90-97) If the lords Of the 4th and Lagna
are in the 4th sign, there will be gain of a house
in a most unexpected fashion. The number of
malefics that are with the lords of the lOth, 4th,
2nd and 12th and are posited in the 6th, 8th or
12th will be the number of houses consumed by
fire. If Rahu and the Sun are in the Nayaamsa
Lagna and aspected by Mars, the person's house
will be burnt to ashes. If the Sun is 1n Kendra
or in the 1st, 5th or 9th, the person's house will

48

Fourth House

fall down due to decay and degeneration. There

will 'Oe destruction of the house, if the lord of
the 4th is in the 6th and aspected by a malefic.
If the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord
of the 4th is in the 6th sign, the destruction of
the house can be predicted. If the lord of the
4th is in the 8th, the house will fall down to
pieces. The number of malefics with which the
lords of the 4th, 2nd and Lagna are associated
will be the number of houses which will meet
with destruction. But if they are aspected by
benefics, such a destruction will not take place.
Living in same or several houses
98-101) If the 4th is a moveable sign and
if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraaka of 'griha'
is in a fixed .sign, the person will have to live
in, several houses. But if the 4th is a fixed sign
and if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraka of
<griha' is in a fixed sign, the person will live
in the same house. If in the 4th sign a benefic
Shadvarga is rising the native will remain in the
same house. Of the lords of Lagna, the 2nd and
4th the number of planets that are in Kendra,
the 1st, 5th or 9th give the number of houses
which will give benefit to the native.

House with fittings

102-111) If the lords of the 11 th and 2nd
are in the 4th and the lord of the 4th is in

Jaataka Tattvam

49

Vaiseshika amsa and aspected by a benefic, the

person will obtain a house with a lot of property
(or fittings). If the lord of the 4th is in the lOth
and the lord of the lOth in the 4th, and Mars is
strong, the person will have much landed property. If the lords of the lOth and 4th
are strong and mutually friendly, the person
will have much landed property. The same is
the case when either the 4th sign or the lord of
the 4th is associated with a benefic. Similar
result comes when the lord of the 4th is in/t,he
sign Gopura amsa of the 5th sign. If the lord
of the 4th is associated either with the lord of
the 3rd or with the Kaaraka of the brother the
person will obtain land from brother. If the
lord of the Lagna is strong and is in the 4th and
the lord of the 4th is strong and is in Lagna and
aspected by benefics, the person will purchase
land by self-effort. If Venus, the Kaaraka of
spouse, is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th in
the 7th and are mutually friendly, the person
will get land through his wife. If the lord of the
6th is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th is in the
6th and the latter is stronger than the former,
the person will get land through his enemy. If
the lord of the 4th is strong and in own house,

J-7

50

Fourth House

or in the 3rd, 6th, lOth or 11th and aspected by

a benefic, there will be gain of landed property.
Loss pr destruction of land
112-121) Ifthe lord of the 4th is in a
debilitated sign, or in an inimical house, or
eclipsed, or between malefics, or aspected by a
malefic, there will be destruction of land. If
Mars is between malefics or aspected by a malefic, or in a malefic Navaamsa, there will be loss
of landed property. If the lord of the 4th is in
an evil Shadvarga or a malefic is in the 4th sign
the land will be lost. The same fate will overtake if the lord of the 4th is in the 6th, 8th or
12th sign. If the lord of the 4th is in the 2nd
sign associated with a malefic, or in a debilitated
sign or in an inimicial sign, the person will lose
his landed property. If the lord of the lOth
associated with a malefic is in the 4th, there will
be loss of land. If the lord of the lOth is in the
malefic inimical or cruel amsa or in bad Shadvarga of the 4th house there will be destruction
of land. When the lord of the 4th is in the lOth
along with the Sun, the land will be lost due to
the anger of the king. A similar fate comes
when the lord of the 4th associated with a
malefic also comes together with the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam

51

Navaamsa occupied by the lord in whose Navaamsa the lord of the 2nd is posited.
Sale ofland
117) If the lord of the 4th is in exaltation,
and the lord of the 2nd is a malefic and is in a
debilitated inimical sign, the person will sell
his land.
Predictions about friendship
122-126) If the lord of the Lagna and the
lord of the 5th are friendly the Sun will be friendly towards the father. If the lord of the
Lagna and the lord of the 7th are friendly, there
will be friendly relationship between husband and
wife. If the lord of the Lagna and the lord of
the 4th are friendly, there will be friendship
with many people. If the lord of the Lagna
and the lord of the 4th are in a friendly sign,
the person will be supported by his friend. If
there are several benefics aspecting the 4th sign,
the person will be a friend of many people.
Being worshipped by relatives
127-130)
If a beneficial planet is in the
4th sign and aspected by a benefic, and the Kaaraka of the bhaava is also strong, the person
will be worshipped by his relatives. The same is
the case when there is Jupiter in the 4th sign

52

Fourth House

and the lo-rd of the 4th is associated with a benefic. If a planet is in an exalted sign, in a friendly sign, in the 4th sign, and aspected by Jupi~
ter, the native will be worshipped by his relatives. A similar result comes when three
planets are in their own houses.
Being helpful to relatives

131-134) Ifthe lord of the 4th is in Kendra, or in the 1st, 5th, or 9th, or in the Vaiseshika amsa, and not aspected by any malefic, or
associated with a malefic, the person will be
very helpful to his relatives. Ifthe lord of the
2nd is in the 11th, or in Trikona (1,5,9), and if
the 4th sign is aspected by a benefic, the person
will be very helpful to his relatives. Similar is
the result when the lord of the 4th is in Kendra
or in his own Navaamsa which is beneficial.
To be forsaken by relatives

135-138) If the lord of the 4th is associated with a malefic and in a cruel Shadvarga and
is weak, the person will be forsaken by his rela. tives. The person will be reviled by his relatives, if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraka of
the 4th bhaava is associated with many malefics.
If the 4th is a malefic sign, or if a debilitated
planet joins with an eclipsed planet and not

Jaataka Tattvam

53

aspected by any benefic the person will deride

his relatives. If four planets are in a good sign,
the person will be fostered by his relatives.
About beds
139-144) If the lord of the 12th is associated with a benefic, or in a benefic Varga or
in its own exalted sign, the person will sleep on'
a cot. There will be no comfort in the bed if
the lord of the 12th is associated with a malefic.
Even if the lord of the 12th is a malefic, if he is
in the V11rga of a benefic, there will be comfort
in affairs of the bed. There will be no comfort
in the bed if the lord of Lagna is in the 6th, 8th
or 12th place. The same is the case when the
lord of Lagna is in debilitation. If the lord of
Lagna is associated with Saturn, Maandi or
Rahu, there will be no comfort in the bed.

EFFECTS OF THE 5th (Children's) HOUSE

Intelligent man
1--:-5) If the 5th house is that of a benefic,
or aspected or associated with a benefic, the
native will be intelligent. If the lord of the 5th
is in exaltation or flanked by benefics the person
will be intelligent. If Jupiter is in a quadrant:

54

Fifth House

or in Lagna, the 6th or 9th house the person

will be intelligent. If the lord of the 5th house
is in a beneficial sign, and Jupiter is in the 5th
the native will be intelligent. If Mercury is in
the 5th and the lord of the 5th is in a quadrant
and is strong, the person will be intelligent.
Of memory
6-8) If the lord of the 5th is in a quadrant associated with a benefic, the person will
not be forgetful; he will have a tenacious
memory. If the lord of the 5th or the Kaaraka
is posited in an inimical amsa and aspected by
a benefic, the person will not be forgetful.
When the lord of the 5th Is in the Gopura arnsa
the native will be more watchful and have a
good memory.
Good remarks
9-15) The Kaaraka of the 5th bhaava
posited in Gopura amsa makes the person considerate to others' points of view and intelligent. If the Sun and the Moon are in the 5th
or 9th house the native will be fickle-minded.
Even if Jupiter is in a quadrant, the person will
be unsteady. If Mercury, the Moon and Mars
are aspected by strong planets, the native will
be alert and quick-witted. With Mercury in the
2nd and aspected by a weak malefic the person

Jaataka Tattvam

55

will be fickle-minded. If Mercury and the lord

of the 3rd are associated together, the person
will be good-natured filled with saatwik qualities. If the lord of the 12th is in Lagna, the
native will speak charmingly expressing good:
sentiments.
16-21) With the Moon in Lagna and the
aspect of Saturn and Mars, the person will fee
mean-minded. With the lord of the 5th in a
cruel 6(G amsa, the person will be petty-minded.
If Saturn, Mars and the Sun aspect the Moon,
the native will be a fool. With the Moon in
the 6th, 8th or 12th house and aspected by
Venus, the person will be astonishingly good.
If the lord of the 5th is associated with a malefic, similar result is expected. If the Kaaraka
for offspring is associated with a malefic or is
in an evil amsa, the native will have a surprising nature.

Regarding idiots
22-28) If Saturn, the Moon and Gulika
are in quadrants the native will be a dull-witted
fool. With Gulika in the 2nd associated with
the Sun and aspected by a malefic or with the
lord of the 3rd associated with Saturn, the
native will be an idiot. If the lord of the 2nd
is associated with a malefic and posited in the

56

Fifth House

l0t1J, the person will be shy in public and behave foolishly. If the lord of the 3rd is associated with Rahu, the native will be an idiot.
The same result happens when Saturn is in the
5th and the lord of Lagna is aspected by Saturn
and if the lord of the 5th is associated with a
malefic. If Gulika and Saturn are in the 5th
and are not associated with a benefic, the native
will be idiot. If Jupiter is in the 5th house,
even an intelligent person will forget his knowledge.

Regarding learned and wise men

29-34) If Ketu is in the Navaamsa Lagna
and aspected by Venus the person will perform
sacrifices or officiate in sacrifices. If two malefics are. in the 5th and the 9th places from the
Navaamsa Lagna the native will be a necromancer or magician. If two ma]efics are in the 9th
place from the Navaamsa Lagna, and aspected
by an evil planets the native will be an exorcist.
With malefics in the 5th and the 9th places from
the Navaamsa Lagna and aspected by benefics,
the person will be of assistance to others. If
the Navaamsa Lagna is aspected by Mercury,
the Moon and Venus and if the lord of the 2nd
is in the 7th house, the native will be a physician. If Venus and the Moon aspect the Navaamsa Lagna, the person will be an alchemist.

Jaataka Tattvam

57

35-40) Ifthe 5th house from the Navaamsa Lagna is occupied by the Moon and Jupiter who are associated with malefics, the person
will write sacred books. If Jupiter is m the 2nd
or 5th place from Navaamsa Lagna the person
will be a grammarian. If Mercury or Jupiter is
in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from the Navaamsa
Lagna, the person will be learned in the Mimaamsaa literature. He will be a logician if Jupiter and Mars are in the 5th, 2nd or 3rd place from
the Navaamsa Lagna. He will be learned in
saankhyaa philosophy, ifJupiter and the Moon
are in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from Navaamsa
Lagna. He will be learned in Vedaanta and
music, ifJupiter and the Sun are in the 2nd, the
3rd or the 5th place from Navaamsa Lagna.
Mathematical skill
41-45) With Jupiter and Ketu in the 2nd,
3rd or 5th place from the Navaamsa Lagna the
person will be skilled in Mathematics. The
same happens when Mars is in the 2nd and aspected by a benefic. If the Moon and Mars are
associated and aspected by Mercury, or if Mars
or Mercury are in quadrants, the native will be
a mathematician. The same is the prediction

J-8

58

Fifth House

when Mercury or Jupiter is the lord of the 8th

and is strong and posited in Lagna, and Saturn
is in the 8th house. A strong Jupiter in quadrant or in the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house with
Venus or Mercury in the 2nd makes the person
a mathematician.

Astrological skill
46-42) If Mercury and Venus and in the
3rd and the 2nd houses the person will be
proficient among astrologists. The same result
comes when the lord of the 2nd is strong and
Mercury is in a quadrant, the 11th, the 1st,
the 5th or the 9th house. If Jupiter is in its
high exaltation or in the 2nd house, the person
will be the best among astrologists.
General remarks
49-54) If Mercury associated with Mars
is in a benefical sign the person will give delight
to learned men. If Mercury and Mars are in
the Saturn signs of Capricorn and Aquarius and
aspected by the Sun, the person will delight the
official pandits (i.e. learned men of the Government). If the lord of the 5th is strong and is in
a quadrant, the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house
the person will be a Vidwaan. If the lord of
Lagna is in the 2nd or the 11th house, the person will not only be learned in arts but also in

Jaataka Tattvam

59

the Saastras/sciences. The lord of the 5th in

the lOth or the 11th house makes the person a
learned one. The lord of the lOth in Lagna
makes the person a poet.
55-00) The lord of the llthin own house
(i.e. the 11th) will also make him a poet. If
the lord of the 4th is in Lagna or the 7th house,
the person will be very learned but dumb in
public. If Jupiter is in the 5th or 9th house
from the Moon and Mars is in the 5th or the
9th house from Mercury, the person will be
skilled in all arts. If Jupiter or Venus is lord
of the 2nd and aspected by the Sun or Mars,
the person will be a logician. If Jupiter and
Venus are in their exaltation, own house or in
Moolatrikona, the person will be skilled in
logic. If Jupiter is strong and the lord of the
house occupied by Jupiter is aspected by the
Sun and Venus, the person will be skilled m
seven saastras (i.e. several sciences).
Knowledge ofVedaanta
61-65) If Mercury is the lord of the 2nd
house and in exaltation, and Saturn is in Gopurn amsa Jupiter in Simhaasana amsa, the person will be learned in the Vedaana philosophy.
With Saturn in Paaraavata amsa and aspected
by_ Mercury and Jupiter, the person will be lear

60

Fifth House

ned in Vedaanta. The same is the result when

Jupiter is in a quadrant or in the 1st, the 5th or
the 9th house. Venus in Vargottama amsa posited in Lagna makes the person a Vedaantist. The
same is the case when the Moon is in Devaloka
amsa or V argottama amsa and Venus is in a
quadrant.
66-69) With Jupiter in a quadrant, Venus
in Simbaasana amsa and Mercury in Navaamsa
or Gopura amsa of the lord of the 2nd house,
the person will be skilled in six Saastas/sciences.
Determine the lord of the Navaamsa occupied
by the lord of the sign where is posited the lord
of the 2nd bouse. If this lord is Saturn or
Mars and associated with malefics in a quadrant,
the 1st, 5th, or 9th house, the person will be
proficient in six Saastras. If the lord of the
Navaamsa occupied by the Sun is in Vaiseshika
amsa is strong and is in the 2nd house the person will be skilled in six Saastras. A strong
Jupiter in the 2nd house and the lord of the
Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 2nd in a
quadrant and aspected by a benefic make the
person master of six Saastras.
Mastery ofVedaanta
70-73) If the lord of Lagna is in the 2nd
and the lord of the 2nd in Paaraavata amsa the

Jaataka Tattvam

61

person will be learned in Vedaanta philosophy.

The same is the case when Mercury is in exaltation and in Lagna, the lord of the 2nd in Paaraavata amsa and Venus in the 12th house. If
the Kaaraka for offspring is in a quadrant or in
the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house and aspected
by a benefic, the person will be able to anticipate and predict coming events. If Jupiter is
in his own Navaamsa or in Mridvamsa the person will know the past, the present, and the
future.

74-78) The same in the case when Jupiter

is il).. GDpura amsa and aspected by a benefic.
With the lord of the lOth in Devaloka amsa and
aspected by a benefic, the person will be absorbed in contemplation of brahmam. The same is
the case when the lord of the 9th is in Paaraavata amsa and aspected by a benefic. If Jupiter,
Ketu, Rahu and Saturn are associated together
in a sign and aspected by Venus, even a lowborn will become a Vidwaan. Rahu and the
Sun associated with a benefic and posited in
their Navaamsa Lagna together with a malefic
planet will make the person proficient in
pmsonous cures.

62

Fifth House

Lack of children due to snake curse

'
79--83) If all planets are weak, the person
will be childless. If Rahu is in the 5th and
aspected by Mars, the person will be childless
due to the curse of snake-god. The same is the
case when Saturn is in the 5th house and aspected by the Moon and the lord of the 5th is
associated with Rahu. Ifthe Kaaraka for offspring is associated with Rahu and the lord of
the 5th is weak and Mars is associated with the
lord of the Navaamsa, the person will be childless due to snake curse. If the Kaaraka for offspring is in the 5th house, Rahu is associated
with the lord of Lagna and the lord of the~ 5th
in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th place, the person
will be child less due to snake curse.
84-87) With Mars in own Navaamsa and

Mercury being the lord of the 5th associated

with a malefic, the same result will occur". The
same is the case when Mars is lord of the 5th
and. Rahu is in the 5th aspected by a benefic.
Also when the lords of Lagna and the 5th house
are weak and malefics are in the 5th. If the
lord of Lagna is associated with Rahu and the
lord of the 5th with Mars, childlessness results
due to snake curse.

Jaataka Tattvam

63

Childlessness due to Pitru-curse

88-92) If the Sun is lord of the 5th and
is posited between malefics or in tpe 1st, the 5th
or the 9th house and aspected by a malefic the
person will become childless due to the curse of
Pitrus (deceased forefathers). A similar fate
comes when the Sun is in the 5th arid is flanked
by malefics, and Saturn and Mars are debilita'ed. Also when Jupiter is in Leo and the lord
of the 5th is associated with the Sun, and malefics are in Lagna and the 5th house. With the
Sun in the 8th, Saturn in the 5th, and the lord
of the 5th associated with Rahu, the person will
be childless due to Pitru curse. The same is
the case when the lord of the 12th is in Lagna,
the lord of the 8th in the 5th, and the lord of
the lOth in the 8th.
Childlessness due to maternal curse
93-96) If the Moon is lord of the 5th and
is weak and is between two malefics and if evil
planets are in the 4th and the 5th houses the
person will be childless due to the curse of
deceased mother's spir,its~ If Lagna is Scorpio
and Saturn posited therein, malefics in the 4th
and the Moon in the 5th, the same fate overtakes the person. A similar misfortune happens
when the lord of the 5th is in the 6th, the 8th

64

Fifth House

or the 12th house, the lord of Lagna is debilitated, and the Moon is associated with malefics.
Also when the Moon is the lord of the 5th and
associated with Saturn, Rahu and Mars.
97-100) IfMars is lord of the 4th and
associated with Rahu and Saturn, and the Sun
and the Moon are in Lagna, the person is cursed
with childlessness by mother's spirit. The same
prediction can be made if the lord of the 4th is
in the 8th, if the lords ofLagna and the 5th are
in the 7th, and the lords of the lOth and the
6th are in Lagna. Also when Rahu, the Sun,
Mars and Saturn are in the 5th, the 1st, the 8th
and the 6th houses, and when the lord of Lagna
is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house. If
Rahu, Mars and Jupiter are in the 6th, the 8th
and the 12th houses, and Saturn and the Moon
are in the 5th, a similar misfortune occurs.
Childlessness
The person is childless :
101-103) If the Sun is in Lagna and Mars
in the 5th. Also when the lord of the 5th is in
the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house from Jupiter
and the lords of the 5th, the 9th and Lagna
are in the 6th, the 8th, and the 12th places from
Lagna; or when Jupiter is in the 5th and maletics in the 5th place from Jupiter.

Conceptionlessness
There will be no conception :
104-106) , With the Sun in Lagna and
Saturn in the 7th, or with the Sun and Saturn
in the 7th, and Jupiter aspect ing the lOth bouse;
also when Saturn and Mars are in the 6th or in
the 4th house; or when Saturn is together with
the lord of the 6th and occupies the 6th house,
and the Moon is in the 7th.

Death of children
107-111) If either the 5th house or the
lord ofthe 5th is flanked by malefic planets; or
the Kaaraka for offspring associated with a
malefic. When the Jords of Navaamsas occupied by the lords of the 7th, 9th and 5th houses
are in evil amsas and associated with malefic
planets. If the lord of the 5th is an evil Navamsa, or in a debilitated sign, or in the 7th
house and aspected by malefics. When the lord
of the 5th is associated with or aspected by the
lord of Triamsa where the lord of the amsa
occupied by the lord of the 12th is.

112-123) IfMercury and the lord ofLagna
are in quadrants other then the Lagna quadrant.
When evil planets are in the 12th; 5th and the
8th houses; also,when the Moon and Jupiter are
in Lagna and either Mars or Saturn is in the
7th; or if a malefic planet is in the 4th house.
If malefics are in Lagna, the 12th, the 5th or
the 8th place. The Moon is in the 5th and
malefics in the 8th, Lagna and the 12th house.
If Mercury, Venus and Saturn are in the 12th,
malefic planets in the 4th, and Jupiter in the 5th;
if malefic, planets are in the 8th place from the
Moon; with a malefic in Lagna, the Moon in
the 4th, the lord of Lagna in the 5th, and the

and the 5th are associated with benefics and

posited in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th houses,
the person will have progeny after a long delay.
There will be delay in getting children if the
5th house happens to be Aries, Taurus or Cancer, and Rahu or Ketu occupies it. If a benefic is in the lOth and a malefic in the 5th the
baby will be born after long delay. If the lord
of the 5th is in debilitated house, the lord of
the 9th in Lagna, and Mercury and Ketu are in

difficulty.
Year of birth
171-173) If a malefic or Jupiter is in the
4th house, and the Moon in the 6th or the 5th,'

5tb, the 1st born will be a female.

Determination of number of children

177-182) IfCancer is in the 5th beuse
and the Moon is posited there, the person will
have daughters or few sons. As many male
planets aspecting the 5th house will be the number of sons born to a person. The number of
girls will be determined by the number of female planets aspecting the 5th house. If Rahu
is in the 11th house the person will get progeny
in his old age. If the lord of the 5th is weak
and is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house and
associated with a malefic, the wife will bear
only one child. The same is the case if the lord
of the 5th is weak and associated with Saturn.
183-190) If the 5th house is not aspected
by either Mars or Venus, the person will have
no child; although he marries twice or thrice.

have only one son. If Rahu or Ketu is in the
5th house, the person will have a bad son. If
the Sun is in the 5th and aspected by a benefic
the person will have three sons. If Capricorn
is the 5th house and Saturn is posited there the

Jaataka Tattvam

73

person will have three sons. The same is the

case if Mars is in Capricorn which happens to
be the 5th house. With Aquarius as the 6th
and Saturn posited there, the person will have

5th house, the person will get 1, 3 or 5 spns
respectively.
0

2, 3, 5 or 7 daughters respectively. If Mercury is
in the 5th and.the lord of the 5th is in the 6th'
.
the person will lose his sons and have only
daughters. There will be many daughters born
if Mercury is in the 5th or the 7th house. If the
lord of the 5th is in Samarksha Varga in an even
sign and associated with Mercury and Saturn
and aspected by either Venus or the Moon, the
-person will have only daughters. If the 5th
house is an even sign and is the Varga of Venus

If the 5th sign is odd, and in the

J-10

74

Fifth House

Varga of Venus and the Moon, and is occupied

by Venus and the Moon, the person will have
many sons. If the 5th is the house of Venus
(Taurus or Libra) or the Navaamsa of Venus,
and aspected by Venus, the native will have
many children. With Mercury, Venus or the
Moon in the 11th house the person will have
many daughters. The same is the case if the
lord of the 5th is either in the 2nd or the 8th
house. If the 5th house happens to be the Lagna
or the Moon's Lagna, and is a beneficial sign,
and associated with a benefic, the person will
have sons; if otherwise, he will have no son. If
the lord of the 5th is a male planet and in a
male sign and in a male Navaamsa, the person's
first-born will be a son. If otherwise, i.e. the
lord of the 5th being a female planet in a female
sign and female Navaamsa, the first-born will be
a daughter.

Determining the character of children

202-219) If the lords of the 5th and Lagna
are equal, the person will have an indifferent
attitude to his son. If the lords of the 5th and
Lagna aspect each other, the son will be obedient to the father. The same is the case if the
lords of the 5th and Lagna are in each other's
Navaamsa. If the lord of the 5th is in Lagna

Jaataka Tattvam

75

and the lord of Lagna is in the 5th the son will

obey his father. The same is the case when the
Lagna is aspected by the lord of the 5th and the
5th house is aspected by the lord of Lagna. If
the 5lb house is occupied either by the Moon or
Venus, the person will have a daughter. There
will be no progeny, if Saturn associated with
the Moon is in the 11th house. If the 5th house
is one of the Vargas of Jupiter and is also a
beneficial sign, the person will have legitimate
children. 1
If the 5th sign is the house of Saturn or the
amsa of Saturn and is occupied by the Moon,
and associated with Mars or Saturn, the person
will have an adopted son. WithMars and Saturn
in the 4th, adoption of a son can be predicted.
He who is born in Vamsa Viccheda (destruction
of the line) Yoga will have an adopted son. If
Saturn is in the 5th with Mercury and the Moon,
the person will have an adopted son fora price.
Danger to pregnancy is proportionate to the
number of malefic planets and the. absence of
benefics aspecting the Navaamsa occupied by the
lord of the 5th. -No child will be born if malefics are in the 5th place from that occupied by
Jupiter; and conversely, if benefics are in the
5th position from Jupiter there will be the blessing of children. If Ketu is in the Navaamsa

76

Fifth House

Lagna and aspected by Mercury and Venus, the

person will have a son born to his concubine.
The same is the case when Venus is in the
Saturn amsa of the 12th house.

of Lagna in the 8th ,'and Saturn 'in the 4th, the
onset of leprosy can be predicted.

person will suffer from a kind of piles; The
same occurs when Saturn is in the 7th, Mars in
Scorpio, and the Sun in Lagna. Also when Saturn is in the 12th and Mars and the lord of
Lagna in the 7th. Again when Saturn is in the
12th, and aspected by either Mars or the lord
of Lagna.

Splenetic illness.
98,142-147) If the Moon is in Cancer;
Scorpio or Aquarius amsa and associated with
Saturn, the person will have spleen trouble. The
same happens if the lord of Lagna is in the 7th
aspected by a malefic and unaspected by a benefic. Also when the lord of the house occupied
by the Moon and the lord of the 6th is aspected
by a malefic. Also when the lord of the 7th or
the lord of Lagna happens to be the Moon and

between Saturn and Mars, and if the sign occupied by the Moon is Cancer or Capricorn, the
person - will suffer from asthma and spleen
diseases: The person will suffer from enlargement of spleen if Saturn and the Moon are in

malefic and occupied by a malefic or the lord
of the 3rd is in a malefic sign or associated with
a malefic. The person will falter and grow
lethargic in batt;le,; if the lord; of the 3rd house;

96

Seventh House

or is a-ssociated with or aspected by a malefic.

The person will suffer defeat if the lord of the
3rd associates with the lord of the 6th in exaltation. The same fate overtakes him if the lord
of the 3rd is strong and is posited in evil Shashthyamsa. If the lord of the 3rd is in (Simhaa
sana', 'Paaraavata' or 'Gopura' or in (Mridu
Shashthyamsa', or aspected by or associated
with a benefic, the person will be enthusiastic in
war and display valour and strength. If the
lord of the 3rd is together with a benefic and is
in exalted position, the native will be interested
in warfare. The same is the case when the lord
of the 3rd is strong and is in 'Vaiseshika amsa',
or in (Mridvamsa', or in Lagna. If the lord of
the 4th is together with the lord of the 9th in a
beneficial sign, the person will be busy with

Debauchery
12-27, 46-50, 52-54) If Venus and Mercury
are in the lOth, the 7th or the 8th the person
will be a rake. Also when Venus and Mars are
in the 7th or the lOth house. He will also be
a rake when Venus and Mars become the lords
. of the lOth and the 4th houses. If Venus is in
the lOth place from the Moon and Saturn is in
the lOth place from Venus, the person will be
a rake or debauchee. Also when Mercury, Venus
and Saturn are in the lOth, the 7th or in the
house of Venus. Again when the lord of the
6th is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house. If
the lords of the 7th, the 2nd and the lOth are in
the lOth the person will be a rake. If the lord
of the 7th is with Rahu or Ketu and aspected
by a malefic the person will be a rake. The
same is the case when Venus, Saturn and Mars
are in their 'Shadvarga' and aspected by Mars
and the Sun. If Mars and the Sun are in the
12th to Navaamsa Lagna at the time of birth,
the person will be a debauchee.

J-13

98

Seventh House

The person will have relations with other

women till the time of his death if Ketu was
posited in Navaamsa Lagna. He will be valorous and great and also a debauchee, if the lord
of the 2nd is in either the 3rd or the 4th house.
He will be a rake if the lord of the 7th is in
Lagna or in the 7th. If the lord of the 7th is
either in the 12th or the 2nd the person will
have sexual relations with several women. Hewill be a rake, if Venus Saturn and Mars are in
their 'Varga' and Saturn and Mars aspect the
7th house. If Saturn and Mars are together
with the Moon in the 7th house, both the husband and wife will be profligates.
The person will be a rake if the lords of the
1st and the 6th houses are associated with a
malefic. The same is true when the waning Moon
together with a malefic is in the 7th house, or
when associated with the lords of the 8th or the
9th. If the lord of the 7th is together with a
malefic the native will specially be a debauchee.
If the Moon and Saturn are together in the 7th
the couple will be profligates. Mercury in the
7th makes the person a debauchee. He will be
a rake, if Venus and Jupiter are together with a
malefic in the 2nd, the 7th or the 6th house. The
same misfortune comes if the lord of Lagna is
associated with a malefic. If the lord of I.:.agna

Jaataka Tattvam

99

is in Lagna itself the person will have two wives

or be a debauchee.
Incest
28- 39) If either the Moon or Venus is in
a quadrant and is aspected by or associated
a malefic and posited in an evil amsa is going
towards a debilitated planet, the native will
have incestuous relations with his mother. If
the Sun and the Moon are associated with or
aspected by a malefic and are in a quadrant,
mother-incest is predicted. Incestuous relations
with one similar to mother is predicted, if the
lord of the 4th is associated with or aspected by
-a malefic, and unaspected by a benefic, and if
the lord of the Lagna is weaker than the lord
of the 7th.
Incest with sister is predicted if the lord of
the 7th is either associated with or aspected
by a malefic, is posited in the 4th or in an
evil amsa. The same is the case when Saturn
aspected by a malefic is in the 4th house. If the
Sun is in the 7th, the person will have sexual
relations with a barren woman. If Mars is in
the 7th the person will have union with a barren
woman and a woman in periods. If. Saturn and
Mercury are in the 12th the union will be
with a prostitute. If Jupiter is in the 7th the

100

Seventh House

union will be with a high class woman. Union

will be with a pregnant woman if either Rahu
or Venus or Saturn is in the 7th house. Union
with a black hunchback is predicted if Saturn
'
is in the 7th.

Incest with Guru's wife

40-45) _ If the Moon associated with a
malefic is in the 9th, the person will have sexual
relations with the wife of his preceptor. The
same is the case if Venus together with a malefic
is in the 9th. Also when the Moon and the
lord of the 9th or Venus and the lord of the
9th are associated with a malefic. Again when
the lord of the 9th is debilitated and is in a
debilitated amsa and is together with Venus. If
the Moon is in the 9th the person will have
union with an old woman. If the lord of the
9th is debilitated the person will have umon
with a woman related to the preceptor.
Abnormal relations
55-60) If either association with or aspect by a malefic to the 1st, the 4th, the 7th or
the lOth house is noted, the person will have
abnormal union with a cow. The same is the
case when Saturn is associated with a malefic
or Gulika. Also when the Sun is in the 7th and
Mars in the 4th. Again when Rahu is in the

Jaataka Tattvam

101

7th and Mars in the 4th. And when the lord

of the 7th is in the house of Mars and aspected
_by Venus. If malefics are in three quadrants
the person will have relations with his wife as
Well as with a cow.
Titillating clitoris

61-63) If Venus and the lord of the 7th

are in the house of Mars the person will have a
tendency to clitoral titillation. The same is the
case when the lord of the lOth is in the house
of Mars and is together with Venus and aspected by Saturn. If the lord of Lagna or the lord
of the 2nd is in debilitated sign, and in a debilitated amsa and is weak, the same tendency
prevails. .
Size of clitoris
130-131) If the lord of the 7th is together
with a malefic the woman will have a long
clitoris. The clitoris will be short if the 7th 1s
the house ofMercury, the Moon or Saturn.
Wet genitalia,

132-136) If the lord of the 7th is in a

watery sign, the woman;s genitalia will be wet.
The same is the case when either Venus or the
7th house is a wet sign. Also when the 7th
house is aspected by the Moon or when Venus

102

.,

Seventh House

is in a wet sign. Again when Mercury is in .a

wet sign and aspected by Saturn. The same
prediction is given when the Moon is either in
the 7th or in the amsa of a watery sign.
Number of marriages
64-67) The number of marriages will be
the number of very strong planets occupying
the 7th house or being aspected by the lord of.
the 7th or as many planets in the 8th house or
beirig aspected by the lord of the 8th. Only
one marriage is predicted if the lords of the 7th
and the 2nd are in debilitated signs, and benefics are in quadrants. There will be only one
marriage for the period if in the amsas of Mars
and the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are posited.
Aso when the 7th Navaamsa is that of Jupiter
and Mercury is posited there.
Number of wives
68-87, 98, 145) If the lord of the 8th is in
Lagna or the 7th the person will have two
wives. The Lagna lord is in the 6th, the native
will have two wives. He will have two wives
if the lord of the 2nd is in the 6th and a malefic
is in the 7th. Also when the lord of the 7th is
together with a benefic and occupies an enemy's
hous~ ,or a debilitated one and a malefic is in
the 7th. The Kaaraka of the spouse (Venus)

Jaataka Tattvam

103

associated with a malefic, occupying debilitated

house, or enemy's house or the house of an
~clipsed planet or in their amsa gives tne person two wives. If there are several malefics in
the 7th house the person will have two wives.
Three wives the person will have, if malefics are
10 the 2nd house and aspected by the lord of
the 2nd. If many malefics are in the 7th and
,not aspected by the lord of the 7th the person
Will have three wives. The same is the case
when malefics are in the 1st, the 2nd, and the
7th houses and the lord of the 7th is debilitated
or eclipsed or in enemy's house.
The person will have several wives, if the
planet in Lagna is in high exaltation and the
lord of Lagna is also in its exalted house. The
same is the case when the Moon and Venus are
t'ogether and strong. If the 7th house is aspected by strong Venus, the native will have several
wives. The same prediction is given if the iords
of the 1st, the 2nd and the 6th are together with
malefics and occupy the 7th house. Also when
Saturn is the lord of the 7th and is associated
with malefics. If a strong Moon is in the 3rd
from the lord of the 7th many wives can be predicted. Again when the lords of the 2nd and
the 12th are in the 3rd house and ; aspected by

104

Seventh House

Jupiter or the lord of the 9th. The same prediction also when the lord of the 7th is either in
a quadrant or a trine, and is in benefic 'Shadvarga' and is aspected by the lord of the lOth and
is in full strength. There will be several wives,
if the lords of the 7th and the 11th are associated together or aspect each other. Also the same
prediction when the planets occupying the 7th
and the 11th are strong and are in trines. If the
lord of the amsa occupied by the arnsa-lotd of .
the owner of the 7th house is together with a
benefic or with Mercury and is strong and in
Paaraavata amsa the native will have a hundred
wives. The number of amsa occupied by the
lord of the 7th determines the number of wives
the person will have. When Venus is together
with either the lord of the 7th or the lord of
the 9th, the person will lose as many wives as
the number of malefics aspecting the Venus
planet.
Beautiful wife
88) If in the 7th place from the Navaamsa
Lagna Jupiter and the Moon are posited, the
wife of the person will be very beautiful.
Older wife
89) If Saturn is in the 7th place from the
Lagnaamsa, the wife will be older than the

Handicapped wife
90) If Mars is in the 7th place from
Lagnaamsa, the wife will be defective in limb.
Scholarly wife
91) If Mercury is in the 7th place from
Lagnaamsa, the wife will be learned and scholarly.

Ailing wife
92-95) If Mercury and Ketu are in Lagna
the Wife will be ailing. The wife will have an
ailment in the nose, if Saturn and Mars occupy
the house of Mercury or Mars or are in Lagna.
But if the lord of the 7th is in the 8th the wife
will be an angry and ailing woman.
Marrying a married woman
96-97) If Saturn and Mercury are in the.
7th the bride who comes will already be a married woman. (In experience, it is noted that
the woman was engaged to one but later marr- .
ies another.) The same is the case if Saturn
and the Moon are in the 7th house.
Goodwife
94, 99- 108) If the lord of the 7th is in the
J;.._l4

106

Seventh House

4th or the lOth the wife will be very chaste. If

either the lord of the 7th. or the K"aaraaka
(Venus) is either together with or aspected by
a benefic or is posited between benefics, the
person will have a chaste wife. If the 7th house
is that of a beneficial planet, the person will
get a good wife. The same is the Ca$e when
Venus is in its exaltation or in own Shadvarga
or in the 'Gopura' amsa. The wife will be
very chaste if the lord of the 7th or aspected
by a Jupiter and is strong. If the Sun is the
lord of the 7th and aspected by a benefic, the
wife will be chaste. The same is the case if
Venus is the lord of the 7th and is aspected by
a benefic. If Jupiter is in the 7th, the wife will
be philanthropic and chaste. The wife will be
chaste, if the lord of the 7th is in.a quadrant or
in a beneficial amsa and is either together with
or aspected by a benefic. If the 7th house is
aspected by Jupiter, the woman will be ofvery
good character.
Widow

109) If Rahu is in the 7th from Lagnaamsa

(it can also be stated as the 4th from Lagnaamsa)
'the woman will become a widow. (Here it may
also mean one who lives apart from her lJ,usband.)

Jaataka Tattvam

107

Whore
.r. '
, : 110---:'117) lfthe lords ofthe 6th, the 8th
and, the 9th are associated with and aspected by
IJ;laiefics, the woman will be a whore. If the
lord of the 8th is in the 8th the woman will be
~ whore. If Saturn is in the 7th house, the person will get a bad woman. If the Jord of amsa
occupied by the lord of the 7th is a malefic, the
woman will be of bad character. The same is
the case if the lord of the 7th is in an 'evil'
~hashthyamsa. Also when the lord of the 7th
or the Kaarak:a (Venus) is in a debilitated sign
or debilitated amsa. Again the woman will be
bad. if the Sun is the lord of the 7th and occupies a malefic sign or amsa, and is either associated with or aspected by a malefic. If the Moon
is the lord of the 7th and is an evil amsa, the
woman will be bad.

Servant-maid

wife will be like servant-maid.
Barren woman

in the 7th the woman will be a eunuch.
Another wife
121-124) The native marries another wife
when the lord of the 7th is weak in the 7th
house and is aspected by a malefic. The same
is the case when the lord of the 2nd is occupying the 2nd house and is associated with or
aspected by a planet with a malefic. Also when '
malefics are in the 7th and the 8th and Mars is
in the 12th. Again the second wife is predicted
when the lord of the Lagna or the lord of the
7th is weak and occupies a 'Muudha' amsa.
Early marriage

125-127) If the lord of the Lagna is near

the lord of the 7th early marriage even as a boy
is predicted. If a benefic is near the lord of the
Lagna or the lord of the 7th early marriage
will take place. The same will be the case when
the lord of the 7th is in 'Paaraavata' amsa and
is strong, and also when the lord of the 7th is in
the 2nd house and is strong.
M,arriage in distant land

128) Marriage will take place in a distant

,tb~person will ~9se as many wives as the num~~r of malefics aspecting the Venus planet. The
wife will die if the Sun is in Lagna and Saturn
is tn the 7th. If the 8th or the 4th ph1ce from
V.e~us is flanked by malefics, the wife will die
by rope (hanging). Death .by hanging (rope)
is indicated if Venus is neither associated with
nor aspected by a benefic. If Venus is together
With a malefic and unaspected by a benefic, the
wife dies o'f fire burns. Fire accident to wife is
predicted if malefics are in the 4th and 8th places from Venus. If Venus and the Sun are in
the 9th, the 7th or the 5th house, the person
loses his wife. The native loses wife when
Saturn and Mars are in the 7th house from the
Moon and are associatedjwith Venus. The same
is the case when Saturn is in the 8th, Mars m
the 6th and Rahu in the 7th. Death of wife IS
also indicated when a debilitated planet is m

110

Seventh fiouse

Lagna or the lord of Lagna is debilitated. The

wile's death is caused by public calumny if
Rahu and Saturn are in Lagna. Death of wife
is indicated if the Sun is in Virgo and Saturn in

looking at the Janma Lagna and the Moon's
Lagna in a woman's horoscope her appearance,

and from the 7th house lier married welfare and

from the 8th, her widowhood or otherwise can
be determined. The woman will have feminine
characteristics if her ascendant or the Moon's
Lagna is in an even sign; if aspected by benefics, her character will be very good, and her
behaviour nice. If the ascendant or the Moon's
Lagna is in odd sign, she will be masculine in
nature and appearance; and if aspected by or

J-19

146

Saturn, the native will become a sanyaasi. Also

With drawalfrom 'order'

107-108; 111113) The planet which urged
him on to take to asceticism, if defeated in
war, will make the native too give up asceticism. He will give up asceticism if Saturn
aspects the lord of Lagna. If the Moon and
Rahu are together or if Gulika is in a cruel
amsa, the Sanyaasi will give up asceticism and
turn house-holder. The native cannot become

amsa, the effect is nil. If the exalted Sun gets
the lowest amsa, even a prince will fall low. If
the Sun becomes highly debilitated, Raajayoga
becomes useless. When debilitated Venus is in
