The afflictions result in temperamental clashes but the prosonce of Saturn in the 7th and Jupiter and Venusin murual aspect tesult in a stable marriagewith deep attschmentbetwecn the couple. Saturn's presencein the 7th house as the 6th lord causes delay in marriage.The Dasas operating during th€ period of tnariageable age and afterare of Venus,the Surr,the Moon, Marsand Rahu. Recollectingthe periods propitious for marriage, (1) the lords of the Rasi and Navamsaoccupied by the 7th lord, (2) Venus, (3) the Moon, (4) the lord of sign occupiedby the 2nd lord, (5) thelOth and (6)gth lordsandfinally, (7) the 7th lord or occupantof the 7th housecan give marriagein respective orderin theirperiods.

delays maniage but the strength of karaka Venus and 7th lord Jupiter cannot push it off too far. Venuswould, therefore, be empoweredto give marriagein his Dasa. Of the sub-periods of Venus,Jupiter,Saturn,Mercuryandthe Moon, Venuswould be ruled out as being too early. Jupiter is the strongestof the remainingfour contestantsboth by aspect, positionanb lordship. Marriage occurred in Jupiter Bhukti, Venus Dasain A p r i l 1 9 6 1. Earlyor delayedmarriage is determinedaccordingto tho times. At one time in India, marriageswere celebratedof boys and girls at the tender age of 5 or 6 years. Later,as times changedmarriageswere celebrated a little later, perhaps at 10 ot 12 years. In the 1960's, marriageat 25 was considereddelayedwhile today it would be quite in order. Interpretationof a chart must always be made keeping in mind the background,period and societyto which the native belongs. The SeventhHouse.' The 7th houseAquariusis occupied by VargottamaKetu in Chan No. 2. lt is aspectedby 7th lord Saturn, benefic Jupiter and 4th and 9th lord, Yogakaraka, Mars.

Both the lord of the 7th and Venushave been much afflicted. The native disliked his wife and was a profligate.Ail the attempts of the wife to wean him away from his evil ways failed. Out of sheer disgustthe lady returnedto her parents, lrouse. The sensual life led by the native resultedin his contractingdreadfulvenerealcomp14ints. Some General Observations When Venus, Mars and Jupiter in one horoscopeare situated in the other horoscopein a trine or 3 ancl 11 posi_ tions, that is, if in the boy's horoscopeVenusis in Taurus and in the girl's horoscope,in Cancer or Virgo, it is a favourable position. When the Sun and the Moon have simifar harmoniouspositions, except2 and 12 (dwirdwadasa), there is usually a strong altachment.Here again if the husband'sSun is in Cancer and the wife.s is in Virgo,the needed harmony exists. When the Sun and the Moon are disposedas suggestedabovebut Mars in one caseis in a sign, which happensto be the 12th from Venusin the otherhoroscope, attachmentexists, but there cannotbe normalhappiness in their private lives.lf Venus in one horoscopeis in a sign occupied by Saturn in the other a seriousand industrious partner is indicated.Mars in the 7th, unaspected by benefics, indicates f requent quarrels reading to misunderstandings.Saturn in the gth aspectedby Mars (especially 4th or 8th houseaspect) is not conduciveto mutualunderstanding. saturn in the 7th confers stability in the marriage but the husbandor wife manifestscoldnessand not warmth.

A strong malefic in the 4th affectsmarried happiness unless neutralised by a beneficaspect.lf the JanmaRasi (Moon sign) of the wife (or husband) happensto be the Lagna of the husband(or wife), or if the Lagna of the 'r,rife(or husband) happensto be the 7th from the position of the lord of the 7th (in the other) the married life will be stable and built on rnutualunderstanding and affection. lf certainafflictionsare presentin one horoscope,it is said they can be mitigatedby looking for a partner whose horoscopehas similaraf{lictions. One of the most misunderstoodand misappliedastrological dicta is the one relatingto the so-calledevil of Mars (Kuja Dosha). "lf Mars is in the 2nd,12th,4th,7th or gth house (either from the Ascendantor the Moon or Venus) in the horoscope o f t h e f e n r a l e ,t h e d e a t ho f t h e h u s b a n dw i l l o c c u r ; a s i n r i l a r situationof Mars in the husband'shoroscopecausesthe death of the wife." lt shouldbe notedthat the strengthof the dosria in 2, 12, 4, 7 and 8 is in ascendingorder. tn assessingtho quantumof dosha,Bhavasand not Rasis must be ta'ken into account. The doshaof Mars is said to get neutralised or minimisedin the followingcircumstances. Mars in the 2nd is bad providedsuch 2nd house happens to be any sign otherthan Geminiand Virgo. Mars in the 12th causesdosha in all signsexceptTaurusand Libra. Mars in the 4th house causes affliction in signs other than Aries and Scorpio; when the 7th is otherthan Capricornand Cancer,the doshais given riseto. Mars becomesevil in the Bth in ail signs exceptSagittariusand Pisces. Mars procluces no dosha whatever in Leo and Aquarius. The dosha is counteredby the conjunctionof Mars and Jupiter or Mars and the Moon.

Time and Fructification of the Resutts of tho Eighth Bhava Determining Longevity The longevityof a nativecan be determinedby different methods. But accordinglo most classicalworks, it is not possibleto determinethe span of rife before twerve years after birth. This is becausethe life of the new.born baby is regulated by the actions(karma)of its parents. lf the baby dies within the firstfour yearsafter birth, it is said to be due to the mother'sbad karma. Deathbetweenfour and eight years is attributedto the bad actionsof the father. lf the child dies between eight and twelve years,it is becauseof its own sins from previouslives. The correctdetermination of longovityhas always been a hard nut to crack. Thereare severalmethodsin vogue, both astrologicaland astrologico-malhematical. The marakavichara (inquiry into death)on the basisof VimshottariDasa has, at least in our humbleexperience,provedquite satisfactoryas it enablesone to judge fairly correctly,the probablelength of one's life on this planet. Of the mathematicalsystems, Pindayurdaya and Amsayurdaya, especiallythe latter, seerns to have receivedconsiderableattention from severalwellknown ancientwriters. Varahamihira saysthat Satyacharya,s view that the longevityconferredby a planet dependsupon its Navamsapositionis in conformity with the views of the majority of astrologicalwriters. The purely mathematical methodsof longevitymust be applied to thousandsof horoscopesbefolea conclusioncan be arrivedat as to their workability. One should not reject these methods basing rhe conclusions on a small numberof instances. We have been testingthesevariousmethodsand find some of them, particularlythe Amsayurdaya, yield fairly approximateresults.

The pindayu Method Pindayuis also cailed Grahadattayurdaya as it is the total of the terms of life grantedby all the planetswhen in a state of deep exaltation. Eachplanet is supposedto give a certainterm of life when it occupiesits deep exaltationpoint and half the period when it occupiesits deep debilitation point. At intermediatepositions it givesthe periodequal to hatf the term plus the period proportionateto the planet's distance from its debilitation point. The term of life given by each of the planets in its deep exaltationis as follows : Sun-19 years Moon-25 years Mars-15 years Mercury-l2 years Jupiter-l5 years Venus-2l years Saturn-20 years The sameplanets in debilitation give the foilowing terms : __ Sun-9 years6 rnonths Moon-12 years6 months Mars-7 years6 months Mercury-6 years Jupiter-7 years6 months Venus-l0 years6 months Saturn-10 years Theseare the termsof rife each pranetgives to the native, provided,the planetsare not affectedotherwise,either by the 7

conjunctionor by the aspectof malefics. But it is very lare that we come acrosshoroscopes, not affected in anyway by adverseplanetarypositions. Out of thesetermscertaindeduc. tions are to be made to substitutefor the evil aspectsand other maleficinfluences. For this what is called Harana or reductionis employed. There are various kinds of Haranas which requirecarefulapplicationand which depend upon the intengityof the evils in any particularhoroscope. Fourkindsof Haranasof reductionsshould be appliecl. They aro : 1. Chakrapatha Harana, 2. Satruksehtra Harana, 3. AstangataHarana,and 4, Krurodaya Harana. Chakrapatha Harana The Lagnais the Ascendant. The 7th housefrom it or the 180th degreeis the Descenclant.The Descendant is the horizon. The westwarddirectionfrom the Ascendantto the horizon cor/ersthe 12th, 1 1th, 1Oth, gth, 8th and 7th Bhavas. Planetsfound within 180owest of the Ascendantundergothis reduction,while planetswhich at birth are below the horizon, i.e., occupyingthe first six Bhavasare exemptfrom this reduction. Thosethat ale nearestto the Lagnain its westerndirection lose a greatpart of their termsof life, while planetsat the farthestdistancefrom tlre Ascendantare not subjectedto so muclrloss. This reduction or Harana varies also with the natureof the planet. In the caseof benefics,the amount of Haranais half of what it is in the caseof malefics. The Moon, Jupiter,Venusand well-associated Mercuryare beneficswhile the Sun, Mars,Saturnand badlyafflictedMercuryaremalefics.

lf thereare two or more planetsin any of thesesixhouses, the reductionmust be appliedonly to the strongestplanet in eachof the houses. Satrukshetra Harana Harana After the ChakrapathaHaranais made,Satrukshetra mustbe applied. This is basedon the position of planetsin theit inimical houses. When a planet occupies an inimical sign, one-thirdof the term obtainedafterChakrapathaHarana must be deducted. This reductionshould not be made if the planet is retrogradeor vakra. Some authors say that Mars is exemptedfrom Satrukshetra Harana,while othels claim only vakraplanetsmust be considered. The Sanskritword used is vakra. By this is meantboth Mars and retrogression. But for all practicalpurposes,both planetsin rettogressi,rnand Mars are not subjectedto Satrukshetra Harana. Astangata Harana Asta meanscombustion. When a planet is very close to the Sun !t seemsto loseal! its vitalising influencesby being absorbedby the Sun's intense power, so much so that it becomespracticallyuseless.Thereforewhen a planet is within certaindegreesfrom the Sun, it is said to be in combustion and one-half of the term left after the Chakrapathaand SatrukshetraHaranasare caried out must be deducted. When tho

Moon is 12'forwards or backwardsof the Sun, he is Astangata. lf Mars,Mercury,Jupiter,Venusand Saturn ara 17e,14o,11o, 10o and 50 respectivelyeither backwards or forwards of the Sun, they get combust. Mereuryand Venus,if retrograde,get combustonly when 12 and 8o forwardsor backwardsrespectively of the Sun. But it must be noted that Venusand Saturn are exempt from Astangata Harana even when combustas almostall authoritiesagreeon this point. Krurodaya Harana When one or more malefics occupy the Lagna, leduction due to their presencemust be made in the term already obtainedafter the reductionsdue to Chakrapatha.Satrukshetra and AstangataHaranashave beenmads. This is done by multiplying the number of Amsas that Lagna has passed by the total of the plgnetaryterms. The product is divided by 109. The quotientso obtained is deducted from the total term of life. The remainder is converted into months,days, etc., and addedon to the quotient which representsyears. lf malefic in the Ascendantis aspectedby a benefic, the Haranafractionso obtained is half of what it would otherwise be. lf two or rnore planets occupy the Lagna, tho planet .Thus nearestto the Lagna_degree must be taken into account. if Lagnais 150of a sign and Mars is 20. and Saturn2boof the samesign, preference is given to ths nearestplanet, namely.

Manitha and that Amsayushouldbe appliedonly when the Sarcvalisuggest Lagna lord is more powerful than the Sun and the Moon. Whateverthe divergentviews held in regard to the circumstancesunderwhich the differentmethodsof longevity determinationare to be applied,it seemsto be clear that Varahamihira and his illustrious commentatorBhattotpalahave approvedthe AmsayuMethod as of much impoilance.

According to Satyacharya,the longitude (sphuta) of a planet is first convertedinto minutes (karas). This is dlvided by 200. The quotient denotes the toiar number of Navams' passedby a planet from the first point of Aries. The quotient is again divided bv 12 to obtain the number of Navamsas passedin the sign considered. This number denotesthe years. The remainderwill give the fraction of a year granted by fhe particularplanet. The longitudeof the Lagna is also subjected to the samo calculationsto get period of life it grants. i The period so granted by a planet is subject to both Bharana (increase) and Harana (reduction) in the foltowing mannel: (a) A planetwhen exalted or retrogradegives thrice the gtumberof yearsobtainedby the abovecalculations. (b) A planet when vargottama or occupying own Navamsaor own Rasioi own Drekkanagives twice the number of years. (c) Wherea planetis to bo multiplied twice or thrice due to its situationaccordingto both (a) and (6), the muttiptication is to be doneonly once by the strongestfactor. The reductionsare the sameas in the pindayuMethod. (d) ChakrapathaHarana: The roductions in respacto Chakrapathaare as per detailsgiven on page99 for pindayu.

Death-inflicting Transits
Standardclassicalworks on astrologygive severalmethods based on transits of certain planets by which the period of death may be gauged with a fair degreeol accuracy.Death indicated on the basisof transitscan happen only when the directionalinfluencesin the birth charts warrant. Otherwise such as ill-health,lossof money, misundorstaning misfortunes with kith and kin and separations,may happen. Readers must clearly bear this in mind when interpreting the following combinations bearingon fiansits. Saturn;the Ayushkaraka,is also the Mrutyukaraka. When

As Rahu happens to be a maleficassociateof the 7th lord he has every qualificationto inflictdeath in his Dasa.As we have alreadynoticed, Saturnhas the largestnumberof unitsfor killing next to Morcury who cannot do his job; and as Saturn himselfcar.tnot causedeath,he must naturallyclelegate lrlspoweron the planet occupyinghis sign.

Xry Concerningthe Tenth House The most difficult and at the sametime the most importanpart in the analysisof a horoscopeis the determinationor occut pation or profession. In fact, the numberof avocations today is so vast and variedthat it is nearly impossibleto ascertain with any degree of accuracy the exact nature of profession. Thereare severaldifficultiesthat presentthemselvesbefore an in his taskof adaptingancientastrologicalprinciples astrologer to suit currentprofessions. In formertimes occupationswere few and the differentiationbetweenone occupationand another was clearly marked. But proper and judicious investigatiorr into all the relevant factorswill rcvealwhiclr vocationand the degreeof successone may achievein it. The tenth houserefersto occupation,profession,temporal honours, foreign travels, self-respect,knowledge and dignity and meansof livelihood.

Other lmportant Considerations
Astrologyis a scienceof tende,ncies and predictionsdo not imply fatalism ot absolute predetermination.Consequently it is only one's naturalaptitudesor leaningsfor speci{icoccupationsthat can be known from the horoscope. Therefore,no definiteastrological factorscan be fixed for eachvocation. Beforejudgingthe professionit is necessaryto ascertain the mental,intellectualand physicalabilitiesof the nativeby a carefulexaminationof the strengthor weaknessotthe Sun, the Moon and the Lagnarespectively. The positionof Mercuryis equallyimpoilant. For, thoughclassicalastrologyhas assigned the mentaloutlook of a personto tho position of the Moon, yet our observations go to show that as the planet Mercury rules buddhi or intelligence,his auspiciousdispositionis equally importantin orderto measureone's mental make-up. When eitherthe Moon or Mercury receives a series of evil aspectsparticularly those of Rahu and Saturn,one lacksthe strengthof mind neededto facacritical situationsand would be unfit for professionsinvolvingresponsibilityand the ability to meet criticalsituations. It would, in our experience,be reasonableto expecta planetin the tenth or rulingthe 1oth houseto havemore influenceover the vocationthan a planetof generalprominencein
C,ooccroing tbe TcothHouso

any other pan of the chart. This however is different from implyingthat the rulerof the 1Othor a planetin the 1Othhouse can be considereda fixed factorfor any of the professions. A statisticalstudy of over 50 charts has revealedthat it is only in 15 chartsthat the 1oth lord and the 1oth Bhavawere definite factorsin determinlng the native'sprofession. But the most powerful plsnot in the chart will also havo a beadng on plofession. Going back to thc ability to meet situatlong,a planetin tho 1Othhouse receivinge powedul aspeclfrom a benefic denotes that the individual is not lacking in the ability of the nature of the aspectingplanet that he could make a successof it. lf the Sun and Rahu are in the 10th house aspectedby Jupiter, the native may presideover political meetingsand take interest in politicalactivities; but politics will not be tho native's profession. lf the Sun and Mars are in the 1Othhousewith Mars fortifiedand in dignity, the nativemay be a medical man but would be interestedin politicsand even invotvedin it. For purposesof study, we may classifythe variousoccupations into six broad groupsor categories,viz., (1) Intellectual avocations, (2) economicavocations, (3) aestheticactivities, (4) routine works, (5) mechanicalprofessionsand (6) trades. This classificationis too general because it is impossible to draw a line of distinctionbetweenthe different categories. An author, whose main work is intellectual,may spend a part of his time in composingand printing or insurance business. In his occupation,therefore,both the intellectualand economic aspectscome in. Thereare instances when people suddenly change their careers from teaching to business. This is explainedby the fact that there is a specialstimulus to cettain
h

qualitiesat certain ages,probablydependingupon the nature of the directional influences (Dasasand Bhuktis) operating then.
Takingthe first group-lntellectualavocations-historians, scientists,philosophers, mathematicians, doctors,astronomers, astrologers, psychologists,psycho-analysts,iudges, lawyers, etc., come under this group. To the economic gtoup may be essignedpoliticians, bank wolkers, insuranceworkers, actuaries, industrialists,mill-ownersand manufacturers.Musicians, actors, singers, dancers, dramatists, cinema stars, artistes belong to the Aesthetic group. Routine workers include the lalge numberof clerks,shop assistants,waitors and the general staff in offices, govetnment and business organisations. Labourers, agriculturists, carpenters, attisans, mechanics, compositors,mill-workers,etc., belongto the frfth group, The sixth, vr2..tradersincludethe rankand f ileof merchants, bookjournalists, publishers, printers, sellers, stationers, grocers, manufacturingrepresentatives, etc.
Eachone of these avocationscan be divided into a number of divisions. For instance, an artist may be a sculptor, photographeror etchet ; a musicianmay be a violinist,vocalist, composeror flutist. An engineermay be an inventor, designer or a mechanicand so on. Hence it would be impossibleto make an entire catafogue of professionsand group them to suit astrologicalfactors
GenerallyspeakingJupiter and Mercuryreferto intellectual avocations,Venusto aestheticprofessions,the Sun, the Moon and Mars to economicoccupations,Mercuryto traders, Saturnto hard workingjobs and Rahu and Ketu to routine workers.

Whenths l Oth houso is occupiedby mole than ono planet, the most powerful planet becomes the prime determinan providedthere is no conjunction. lf there is a conjunction the strongerof the Navamsa lords of these two planets will give the clue. Or, when th€ differsntplanets8re mole or less of equal strength, then thel6 will be a blending of influence and more than one occupation may be indicated.

XVI Some Practical lllustrations We have seen so far how to assessthe nature of resultsof each of the twolve Bhavas or houses beginning from the seventh (marriage) to the twerfth (emancipation) in this volume. The principlesof astrorogyprovide us with a tool to estimatethe generalworth of an individualand what life has in store for him in its varioussectorssuch as marriage (7th), ruffering and death (8th), parentage,prosperity, travel (9thi, fame, success, distinction and occupation (1Oth), trienOs, brothers,gains (1l th) and expenditure,incarcerationand f inat release(12th) afterdeath. Arthoughthe pranetary configurations can give a broad outline of the future of an individuat, it is only an intuitionarperceptionthat can herp us to assess rhe real worth of a horoscope. lt is no easyjob to draw conclu_ sions. The astrologerhas a duty in dressingup his predictions in such a way that the truth is revealed without adversoly affectingone psychologically. lf the Lagna lord, the Moon or Mercury is afflicted, a negativepredictionmay drive the native to melancholiaand frustration. Henceone must be careful in revealingthe truth. On the contrary,a native with strong Ascendant,the Moon or Mercury will be abre to digest any prediction without reacring

etrongly. This mental maturity of a native must bo assessed before the astrologergives his commentson any chart. Coming to the question of interpletation, the Rasi, Nav_ amsaand Bhavachartsmust all be taken into account. Malefic afflictionscausedenial or lack of happinessor positive misery in a particularsector of life. on the contrary,benefic dispositions thror.rlh aspects,associationsand occupation give happiness and success in the relevant aspscts of life.

Since both beneficsand malefics are in a kendra (quadrant) and kona (trine) and 8th lord is in a malefic Bhava, the spanof life can be said to be medium or madhyayu, Another leason for medium life is the exaltation of maraka planets, namely, 2nd lord Mercuryand 7th tord Mars in trines. The Dasasthat operateduring madhyayu (32 to 75 years) are of Jupiter (in pail), Saturn and Mercury. Of these three

He is the natural maraka and combineswith the 2nd lord Mercury. From the Moon, he is the 2nd lord. Mercuryis the 2nd lord from Lagnaplaced with karakaSaturn. He associateswith the 2nd lord from the Moon, namely,Saturn. Of these three planets, Jupiter does not havesufficientmaraka power, either due to lordship ol association. BetweenSaturn and Mercury, thg latter is the 2nd lord and powerful due to his exaltation. But Saturn who associateswith Mercurytakesover the marakatwa from him and becomes a first-rate killer. Since Lagna lord aspects Lagna,Saturncannot be expectedto kill in the beginning of his Dasa. This would not be warranted by the planetary dispositions. Hencehe can kill only in the closing paft of his period. Rahu whc is with Saturn (maraka) and 2nd lord Mercuryand who should also reflect the lesults of Saturn becomesquite capableof proving fatal. The native died in Saturn's Dasaat the fag end of Rahu Bhukti. Nature of Death The 8th houseis Sagittariusand falls in the 3rd drekkana of the sign, ruledby ths Sun.
