General Verses


The assessment of a House,
Can be done either from Ascendant,
Or from Lunar Ascendant,
( Lagnam va Chandra Lagnam va ) !

If the Moon is stronger,
Than the Ascendant, 
Take from Lunar Ascendant
Even though Ascendant is all in all !

If from Lagna, effects for thirty years
If from Chandra Lagna, after thirty !
Anyway, analyse the House
Analyse the lord of the House !

Analyse the House's significator
The planet which tenants that Bhava
And the planets associating with it
And planets aspecting it

And predict according to Logic
Both inductive and deductive !
The strength of that House,
Its Bhava Strength in toto ! 
 
Great indeed is association
With the Ascendant lord
Or the aspect of the Lagna lord
Or its tenancy of trines !
 
Conversely, adverse is association,
With the lords Trika,
(The lords of Three, Six, Twelve)
Or the aspect of the Trika lord
Or their tenancy of trines !

If any House is associated,
With the sixth lord,
Fear of enemies, afflictions physical,
Are the results conferred !,,

Arathi Bhavatyam,
Aradhinatho Karothi,
 Sixth lord will geneate,
Fear of enemies !

If any House is associated,
With the Eighth lord,
Fear of death, impediments,
Are the results conferred !

Mrithyooswaro Mrithyu
Bhayam Karothi
 
If any House is associated,
With the Twelfth  lord,
Transfer, poverty, sorrow,
Are the results conferred !,
Vyadhipo Bramsa Daridrathadyam
Yogekshanadyai Ashubhan Visheshal !
 

The planet tenanting the Bhava,
The planet aspecting the Bhava,
Bhava's lord and significator,
These are the planets four that count !
 
If these planets four are powerful,
They shower auspicious results,
If the lord of Bhava is weak,
The other three become powerless !
 
If Jupiter, Venus and Saturn,
Are strong, happiness indicated,
If otherwise, general sorrow,
Such is Astrology's decree !
 
If the chart has Kesari Yoga,
Jupiter angular to the Moon,
Or Adhi yoga, benefics in Eighth,
High longevity indicated.
 
Native becomes famous,
If many planets are exalted,
Or posited in houses own,
Or Moolatrikona, friendly houses.

With the presence of Yogas,
Anapha, Sunapha, Dhurudhura,
Vasumath, Vesi, Vasi, Kahala,
And the famous Kesari 

If the points in the Eleventh,
Is more than in Twelfth,
In The Eightfold Point System,
Sarva Ashta Varga !
