Bhava Phala Praveshika — 10: Randhra Bhava (8th House) Spleen disorder Saravali 34.74. The native will suffer from pulmonary and spleen disorders apart from tuberculosis, if the Moon is hemmed between malefics, as S aturn occupies the 7th House. •
This is an important principle which introduces the subject of determining health troubles from the horoscope.
•
There are few factors that need to be seen to determine the diseases d iseases that a native will be afflicted with-
. !hava !hava mappe mapped d to specif specific ic body body part part ". #ara #ara$a $a of the the body body part part %. &ffl &fflic icti ting ng 'rah 'rahaa •
(hen the !hava and the #ara$a mapped to a body part are afflicted, then the native is afflicted by a disease in that body part. There could be numerous possibilities for diseases in the afflicted body part. Here, the $ind of diseases can be $nown from the afflicting 'raha.
•
)n this particular e*ample, affliction of Moon and the 7H by Saturn causes pulmonary, spleen disorders and tuberculosis. Saturn is predominant in +ata +ata and is cold in nature. Moon rules the watery element or fluids in the body and aspect of Saturn on the agna from the 7H indicate the native will suffer troubles pertaining to vitiation of watery element in the body due to cold and airy Saturn.
Phlegmatic disorders, emaciated body Saravali 34.75. Should there be an e*change between the Sun and the Moon in the /av012a, the native will suffer from phlegmatic disorders. " Should the Sun and the Moon be in one 302i having identical longitudes, the native will be emaciated at all times. •
•
Moon rules the watery element in the body or the Sleshma 4hatu. )t is not understood why e*change between Sun and Moon in the /avamsa cause phlegmatic disorder. (hat happens if the e*change happens in the 3asi chart5 6*change between Sun and Moon indicate the Sun is placed in Moons sign and Moon is placed in Suns sign.
•
)t appears that the vitiation of watery element b y &gni causes the phlegmatic disorder.
•
8n the other hand, conjunction of Sun and Moon in a sign having identical longitude indicate birth in the pea$ of &mavasya. This cause emaciation of the body as watery element is dried up by the association of fiery Sun. This appears that the yoga is effective even when there is no connection with the agna.
Loss of eye Saravali 34.76. Should the 9th, "nd, :th and the "th be, respectively, occupied by the Sun, Moon, Mars and Saturn, the native will lose his eyes due to the affliction caused by the strongest of the two. •
6yes are governed by the Sun and the Moon. The left eye is governed by the Moon while the right eye is governed by the Sun. Similarly, "H governs the left eye while the "H governs the right eye.
•
The governorship of the left and right eye are reversed in female nativity.
•
)n this combination the 'raha bhava combinations are Sun- 9H, Moon- "H, " Mars:H, Saturn- "H
•
Sun in the 9H aspecting the "H with Moon and Mars in the :H aspecting Saturn in the "H. Moon and Saturn in the "H and "H and affliction of Sun being placed in the 9H; all these combinations indicate that the native will lose his eyes due to the strongest among Mars and Saturn. Mars indicate violence accidents, injuries etc. and Saturn indicate diseases.
•
)n general whenever Sun and Moon are jointly afflicted by Mars and Saturn, the native can lose eyesight. This can be happen in some of the following ways-
. Sun and Moon conjoined and hemmed between Saturn and Mars ". Sun and Moon are jointly aspected by Saturn and Mars %. Sun and Moon are conjoined with Saturn and Mars <. Saturn is placed in ancer and Sun and Moon are wea$
Ear defects, ental tro!bles
Saravali 34.77. )f malefics occupy the :th, th, %rd and =th, the native will suffer from ear defects, provided there are no aspects from benefic planets. " Malefics in the 7th unaspected by benefics will produce dental afflictions. •
6ar troubles are indicated by the %H-H combination. %H rules the ears while H rules hearing.
•
Malefics occupying the %H and H indicate that the natives ears and hearing, both will be afflicted. The malefics are Saturn-Mars-3ahu-#etu. Since 3ahu-#etu are always placed in the 7H from each other, they need to be placed in the %? a*is while the remaining two malefics Saturn and Mars be placed in the =H and :H. Sun should also be considered a malefic in the health matters.
•
)n addition, if malefics are placed in the =H and :H, it aggravates the trouble. @rom the =H, the malefics aspect the H, aggravating the hearing trouble. )n addition :H is also lin$ed to the hearing loss as :H and H are related due to !havat-!havam principle i.e., :th from :H is H. Similarly %rd from %H is =th, which should be under malefic affliction.
•
Malefics in the 7H indicate dental affliction. )t is not clear why teeth is governed by the 7H. Aerhaps we need to understand human anatomy vis-B-vis Cyotish more than what is $nown now.
•
)t is $nown that Sun is $ara$a for all bones in the body. @or bone related troubles, Sun should be afflicted. &ffliction by MarsD #etuE brea$age, injuries. &ffliction by SaturnD 3ahuE pain, disease, decay.
•
The mentioned troubles of hearing loss or dental troubles are alleviated if the $ey houses H for hearing and 7H for dental troubles are aspected by benefics.
"ental problem Saravali 34.7#. There will be diseases of the mind, if Saturn occup ies the &scendant, while Mars is in the =th or the Fth. " <ernatively, Saturn, while being in the &scendant should be conjunct decreasing Moon to cause the said effects. •
•
Most of the health troubles in the world are caused by Saturn and Mars, the reason being that these " 'rahas are the #ara$a of the :H of diseases, attac$s, injuries, battles, litigations etc. The trouble manifesting from the :H always have an e*ternal origin, i.e., attac$s or injuries caused by e*ternal agents. )n This matter 3ahu behave li$e Saturn and #etu li$e Mars. &mong the " #ara$as of the :H, Saturn causes diseases while Mars causes injuries physical, mental. (hen these " 'rahas Cointly influence a !hava, they have the potential of causing diseases or injuries to the living relations of the !hava. However, if
there are benefic 'rahas influence the !hava by placement, aspect on the !hava or the lord or the !havesha is placed in strength, then the diseases may not manifest or get cured fast. •
)n the matters of health or diseases, one should note the sign being influenced i.e., whether it is movable, fi*ed or dual. The affliction to movable signs can be remedied easily. 8n the other hand affliction to fi*ed signs cant be remedied or remedied with great effort. The dual signs are somewhere in the middle.
•
The intelligence is jointly ruled by agna and the =H and the natives psychology state of mind, li$es, disli$es etc. are governed b y the =H. The FH is also important in this matter as it is the =th from the =H as per !havat-!havam principle.
•
(hen Saturn afflicting the agna neecha sthana and mara$a-$ara$a-avastha and simultaneously influences by Mars by aspect, the native can have mental diseases.
•
Similarly, Mars in the GH mind aspecting Saturn placed in the lagna say in wea$ or enemy sign, the native may have agitated or unstable mind. Saturn placed in own or friendly sign is li$ely to protect the agna, so in my opinion will not cause the disease.
•
Saturn in the agna and Mars in the Trine afflicting the =H can cause mental disease. Mars in the =H can cause agitated mind while Saturn in the lagna can cause solitude and isolation.
•
Moon is the #ara$a of the mind and affliction of Moon by two or more malefics and Moon itself wea$ in pa$sha-bala or positional wea$n ess such as debility Sc or enemy sign Saturn, Mercury can cause depression or de jection. &t the same time if agna is afflicted by Saturn sorrow, pessimism, lethargy, dull-wittedness, the mental problems are aggravated.
•
Thus, #alyanavarma says that Saturn simultaneously afflicting both the agna and the Moon can give a very depressive mind, pessimism and dejection.
isposition of #L $ longevity Phaladeepi%a &6.'&. Aersons in whose nativities the lord of the 9 th house is posited in a house other than a #endra and is also wea$er than the lord of the agna should be declared to be longlived and free from an*ieties, obstacles and miseries. •
•
The 9H is a very tric$y house as this governs over both important positive and negative portfolios in life. (hile it governs over all misfortune and crisis being the "H from the FH of fortune, it also governs over longevity. @or longevity %H is also important as it is 9H from the 9H, hence become governor of the longevity according to bhavat-bhavam principle.
•
The 9 should not be placed in the #endra i.e., agna,
•
)t is advisable to have agna lord stronger than the 9 for the native to overcome over all misfortunes i.e., an*ieties, obstacles and miseries.
•
@or long-life, the 9 should be placed in strength as its wea$ness can adversely affect longevity. My Cyotish tradition teaches that 9 should be placed in the #endra from the 9H vi., 9H-H-"H and =H for the native to enjoy long life. However, placement of 9 in the mentioned houses is not conducive to the matters of H of gain, "H of wealth and =H of progeny. So, where should the 9 be placed to have long life but not misfortune5
•
)deally 9 should be placed in the mentioned bhavas but it should be aspected by natural benefics which cause protection to the significations of the bhava i.e., gain, wealth etc.
Some important yogas from r. () *aman+s ind! Predictive -strology Short life &/0 9th lord is in the "th house with a malefic. •
9HE longevity, "HE loss. However, "H is in trine to the 9H and hence a friendly sign.
•
@or longevity matters one should loo$ at the placement of 9 from its own sign. #endraE ong, AanapharaE Middle and &po$limaE Short.
•
(ith all positive things, lord of life placed in the house of loss cause loss of life causing short-life. However, benefic influences on 9 should increase the lifespan and bring out the positive side of the sign falling in the "H friend to 9
•
Since "H is Aanaphara from the 9H, )n my opinion this should indicate middle lifespan if there are benefic influences on the 9 in "H.
Short life '/0 agna lord and 9th lord join in the :th house. •
9 in the H from its own sign i.e., Aanaphara should indicate middle lifespan, h owever, since :H is not a good house, it is dropped to short.
•
However, if the 9 is well placed in the :H say for ibra agna, 9 +enus e*alts in the :H, the longevity can be increased by one compartment i.e., to middle lifespan.
Short life 3/0 &ll the malefics occupy the 9th house. •
Alacement of malefics in the 9H is highly detrimental to longevity. The situation is worse if one of them is debilitated.
•
Similarly Moon in the 9H although a benefic will curtail longevity as it attains debility in the natural 9H Sc.
Long life &/0 agna lord occupies benefic bhavas with the 9th lord. •
•
There are % $eepers of longevity, agna ord, 9 and G. )f all these three lords of longevity are placed in strength, the native is granted long-live, else, the longevity is proportionally reduced. )n my opinion, in this matter 9 should be given =GI, be given %GI weightage and G be given "GI weightage. !ut this needs to be verified in many horoscopes.
Long life '/0 Juadrants are occupied by benefics and the agna lord combines with a benefic planet aspected by Cupiter. •
#endra gives sustenance power as #endra E +ishnu
•
!enefics in the #endra and strength of the agna lord and association of Civa #ara$a Cupiter life-giver has the ability to e*tend the life by a compartment.
•
Thus, if all the % life-$eepers , 9 and G are wea$, then this combination can give an e*tra compartment of life and e*tend the lifespan from short to middle.
Long life 3/0 9th lord, the agna lord and the Gth lord combine with Saturn and occupy Kuadrants. •
Here the principle of life $eepers vi., , 9 and G is clearly mentioned. These lords should be placed in #endra from their own house. They should also be endowed with positional strength i.e., e*altation, Mulatri$ona, own sign, friendly sign etc. and aspect of benefic 'rahas.
•
Saturn being the $ara$a for longevity should also be placed in the Kuadrant or the 9H or with the 9. !ut ) thin$ Saturn should not join the other lords or houses i.e., agna, , G ) e*clude GH as Saturn attains strength there.
eath in the '&st year0 Saturn is in the "th house and the 9th lord is in the "nd house with a benefic. •
•
This is an illustration of Loga-ayus where one should remember some "G?%G dictums that can cause death at a certain age. More will be covered about them in separate lessons on longevity and death. /ot much e*planations have been found e*plaining reasons behind arriving at the mentioned age, hence it is a mystery.
•
"st year E " F i.e., Fth house. FH counted from Saturn brings us to the 9H whose lord is situated in the "H i.e. the Mara$a !hava.
•
The generalised principle Ncould beO count from Saturn to the 9H and add the numbers to the multiples of ". The year so indicated can cause death provided the 9 is badly placed. This needs to be verified and ) cant vouch for its accuracy.
eath in the 'nd year0 9th lord is in the =th house in conjunction with malefics, and the Gth lord is in the "nd house aspected by malefics. •
9 in the =H is GH i.e., #endra from its own house. Similarly G in the :H is =H from its own house.
•
)n both cases they should be afflicted by malefics. &s mentioned before 9, agna lord and G are $eeper of longevity. They affliction and wea$ness can cause death early.
•
The "nd year could be derived from placement of G in the "nd house with malefics. "nd year E "nd house.
eath d!e to asphy1iation0 "nd and :th lords combine with Saturn and occupy the %rd, :th or "th house. •
)n the forthcoming dictums some of the causes of death are mentioned. However, these are not e*haustive as there are numerous other ways to die. However, understanding these yogas one can e*tend these principles to other combinations.
•
"HE Mara$a, :HE accidents, attac$, murder, overpowering etc. SaturnE +ayu tattva, cho$ing etc. Similarly the &iry signs should also be considered. %H and 9 HE indicate nature and circumstances of death. :H, "HE loss of life due to punishment :H or end of lifes journey "H
-ttac% by animals0 Saturn as the :th lord joins with 3ahu or #etu, death will be from the attac$ of beasts. )f in the same combination, Cupiter has prominence, then danger arises from 6lephants. •
)n all causes of death where some form of attac$s or life-threatening diseases are involved, the :H should come into picture. The influencing 'raha, signs and houses can indicate other matters related to the attac$ or diseases.
•
Here, :HE attac$, 3ahuD#etuE beasts, serpents, CupiterE 6lephant. S imilarly MercuryE horse, SunEion, MoonEwater creatures etc.
eath d!e to canine bites0 Saturn joins the Sun and occupies or aspects the 9th house. •
Sun influencing the $ara$a for 9H, Saturn and the 9H itself through placement or aspect indicate danger from Sun related causes.
•
SunE dogs, cats, lions and other canines.
eath d!e to apparitions and spectre0 (ea$ Moon occupying the 9th with 3ahu joins malefics. •
)nfluence on 9H indicate source or circumstances of death
•
MoonE mind, shoc$ etc., 3ahuE apparitions, ghost etc.
•
There is some form of fear, shoc$ etc are involved due to Moons influence on the cause of death. )nfluence of others graha would indicate the cause and nature of the shoc$. SunE royal punishment e*ecution, firearms etc.; MarsE spear and other weapons, burglary; SaturnE $eeping in captivity, isolation, torture, lac$ of sleep, hunger etc.
eath d!e to 2eapons0 :th house is occupied b y its lord and the 9th lord is with 3ahu, and Saturn with #etu aspected by mars. •
: in :HE fights; 9 with 3ahuE deception, unnatural death
•
9H #ara$a Saturn aspected by #etu, Mars. #etuE mishap, accident; MarsE violence, weapons attac$ etc.
•
(e observe that the cause and circumstances of death can be deciphered by influence on the 9H, 9 and Saturn.
•
&ccidental or other unnatural ways of death involve :H, Mars or #etu, influencing 9H, 9 or Saturn.
ather is %illed thro!gh the displeas!re of the state govt/0 Sun is in debilitation occupies the :th or the 9th house aspected by a malefic. •
This an important dictum which indicates that since :H is the house of attac$ or punishment and 9H is for longevity, confluence of these " houses or their lords on other #ara$as can indicate punishment or loss of life pertaining to those $ara$as.
•
SunD F E father; Suns debility E trouble to father; placement in 9H and afflicted E loss of life, mishap; placement in :H under afflictionE punishment.
•
)n my opinion Sun is the $ara$a for father, associating it again with 3oyalty could be misleading. Hence in such cases we should see the influence of GHD G to indicate involvement of the ruler or govt. 6lse, it will mean that whenever Sun is afflicted, there will be trouble to father Sun from govt. Sun.
eath d!e to s!dden heart fail!re0 Mercury is not well situated and occupies an unfavourable position.
•
•
Many people die with heart failure and it is one of the natural causes of death. However, thats not the point the author is trying to ma$e here, especially when Mercury is badly placed and associate with the 9H. Pnder this combination, the native dies due to sudden heart-attac$ under stressful situation where he is not yet mentally prepared to leave the mortal plain. This is an unfortunate death as the soul cant leave the world peacefully.
ative be!eaths vast legacies to his s!ccessor0 9th house is favourably situated with aspec t of Mercury, +enus or Cupiter. •
This means that at the time of death, the native is in his full consciousness and he is able to tie all the lose ends before leaving this mortal plane.
•
)nfluence of these benefics on the 9H indicate that the native will have premonition about death so that the complete all pending activities before leaving this world.
•
This is a great blessing as the native is mentally prepared to leave the world as there are no desires to tie him bac$.
•
Moon is e*cluded from the list of benefics here as Moon is highly malefic in the 9H as it attains >handrastama and is the neecha sthana
