It is commonly understood that the Lagna of the birth chart signifies the native. However, because the Lagna encompasses 30 degrees of the rasi chart, certain Jyotish classics like Saravali have specified a more precise significator to be the Dreshkona (Drekana) of the Lagna. Other classics have specified the Navamsha of the Lagna to be a more well‐defined significator of the self. Therefore, the D‐3 and D‐9 Varga charts are important. In addition to the Lagna, the 3rd, 11th and 10th houses are also indicators of self. The Sun, significator of self, and the Moon, all‐important ruler of the mind and its impulses, are treated as secondary Lagnas in Vedic astrology (Surya Lagna and Chandra Lagna). For example, an afflicted Moon may indicate mental aberration and a lack of self‐control ‐ as when the Moon is influenced by Mars, reckless and aggressive behavior may be indicated. Mercury is another planet, which controls our nervous system. Though Mercury is not read as a secondary Lagna in Indian astrology, its affliction weakens the nervous system and reflects the potential for aggressive, vengeful and impulsive traits. One should also note the malefic argala, i.e., the presence of a malefic planet in the 2nd, 4th or 11th house house from from the Lagna or Moon. For microanalysis, one should also examine the D‐12 (Dwadashamsha) and the Cyclic Trimshamsha (Parivritti D‐30).

The Lagna of the Navamsha chart is occupied by Mars and aspected by the Moon and Gulika. The 4th house is occupied by the Sun. Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu are in the 8 th house. Therefore, the indications are strong for aggression, a lack of self‐control, and thus, anti‐social criminal behavior. Murder is a form of criminal behavior that has long been considered an aberration of the social order. The Purusharthas, four canonical aims of human life according to Hindu philosophy, offer a deeper understanding of the cause of this deviation. The Purusharthas are: Righteous Purpose and 1. Dharma ( Righteous Path). 2. Artha Wealth and Resources). 3. Kama (Desire and Pleasure). 4. Moksha (Liberation). Artha and Kama must support the goals of Dharma and Moksha. However, in modern materialistic culture, there is often an imbalance in the way these goals are fulfilled, with a heavier influence of Artha and Kama over Dharma and Moksha. Such imbalance creates mental tension, fear, impulsivity and aggression, the most significant factors leading to anti‐social criminal behavior.
The purpose of Jyotish is not only to illuminate the path of the soul, but also to provide appropriate remedial measures to assist the soul in overcoming its karmic limitations. The traditional practices of Yoga and Pranayama are two such remedies that can reduce mental tension and improve self‐discipline. Therefore, their application can be a significant deterrent to criminality. As the astrological birth chart reveals the innate tendencies behind anti‐social inclinations and behavior, these age‐old spiritual
disciplines are a proven remedy against such aberrations.
