A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/

ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something
of the various facets pertaining to their chart; in other words, they wish to evaluate the
basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis
(Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of
curiosity.

Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a
Ri (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant
is two hours and for this reason the twelve Ris cover the twenty-four hours duration of
the solar day. (Basic Jyotia principles can be accessed by clicking this link)

Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the
personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhva of the chart and is the
commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional
charts as well there is a Lagna/ ascendant and these are usually at variance with the
Lagna rising in the Ri Cakra (Rashi Chakra). In other words, different signs may and
do tenant the various divisional charts. If the same Ri (Rashi) should occupy the
Lagna in the Ri (Rashi) and the Navma Cakras (Navamsha Chakras) then the
Lagna is said to be Vargottama or occupying an Uttama Varga or good division. We
must be cautious here since if a planet in Ri (Rashi) debility also attains debilitation in
the Navma (Navamsha) then there is nothing Uttama or good about it.

The rising sign or the Lagna and its Lord are extremely crucial as they show the self of
the person. Every rising sign or Lagna has its own characteristics since it decides a
certain Karmic metaphysics due to the positioning and allocation of matters to various
signs and their lords. For this reason even bereft of the information of placement of
Grahas in the Ri Cakra (Rashi Chakra) we can venture many opinions based on the
rising sign or the ascendant or the Lagna.

Affliction to the Lagna Lord or rpas/ curses imposing themselves on the lord of the
ascendant can lead to major issues that have to be contended with. An affliction by ani
(Shani) for example could lead to an attention deficit disorder amongst other things.

The Lagnea (Lagnesha) of the various Lagnas rising in the Ri Cakra (Rashi Chakra)
as well as the Varga Cakra/ divisional charts may also be referred to as the 'ruling
planet'. The Lord of the Lagna is the lord of the first Bhva and therefore rules the chart
and the person in question. Whatever else it may do it always continues to govern and
rule the native and never causes harm to the person. The Ratna of the Lagnea
(Lagnesha) is therefore a safe stone to wear, as a thumb rule. It is only a thumb rule as
conjunctions and afflictions can tend to completely change the picture and planets tend
to impart their own hues to the conjoined Grahas. Another thumb-rule is never wear a
gemstone without authoritative advice since it touches the body/ Tanu.
The placement of the lord of the Lagna in a specific Bhva (Bhava) from the Lagna is
also of great relevance. The Graha tends to sap that Bhva (Bhava) of energy in order
to feed the native with energy and any other mode of sustenance. The placement of
Lagnea (Lagnesha) in certain Bhvas (Bhavas) is conspicuous and for good reason.
Any association of the Lagna and the 5th and 6th Bhvas (Bhavas) and lords from the
Lagna leads to the Dhmantaha (Dhimantah) Yoga which leads to high levels of
intelligence. This is include the placement of the Lagnea (Lagnesha) in say the 6th
Bhva (Bhava) from the Lagna.

Another quick way to perceive Lagna and what it connotes is to view it as something
'rising' or bringing to life that precious 'ray of light'. Though Di (Disha) or direction is
more important for the Klacakra (Kalachakra), and in more immediate matters, from
the rha Lagna (Arudha Lagna), we would do well to remember that the Di (Disha)
of the Lagna or the direction associated with the Lagna is the downward direction and is
governed by Brahm (Brahma). Rajas decends into the world where it works best while
something like Ketu sumbolises the upward direction because Ketu wants to spiral out
of creation into Moka (Moksha) or release.

Even so, we must always remember that the Lagna Chakra is but one reference point
and others such as the charts reckoned from the rha Lagna (Arudha Lagna) and the
Kraka (Karaka) Lagna are equally important. We have to see where the important
rdha (Arudha) Padas such as the A7 or the Drpada (Darapada) are placed which
indicate sustenance, wealth, and relationships, both from the Lagna and the rudha
(Arudha) Lagna. The Kraka (Karaka) Lagna is actually supreme since the tmakraka
(Atmakaraka) is the KIng of the horoscope according to Mahar Parara (Maharshi
Parashara).

There can be other correlations such as the placement of Cadra (Chandra)/ the Moon
in the Lagna-this means that the Lagna and the Ri (Rashi) are identical. Transits over
the Lagna/ Ri (Rashi) have a far greater impact due to this as two reference points
have come together. As an aside, people with the Moon in the Lagna are sociable and
easy to connect with-they mingle a lot and get about. Cadra (Chandra) is a Lagna in
itself and is a very important determinant of how matters related to the world will shape
up.

Another point to clarify is that while each Lagna will have the various Ris (Rashis) /
Vedic signs positioned in a particular way and each Graha will be assigned different
roles, one Lagna cannot simply be preferred over another. Existence has created all of
us with different Krmic frameworks which are well elaborated by the independent
Lagnas rising there. In other words, it is not correct to say wonder as to which Lagna
might be best or indeed if one Lagna is better than the other. Each Lagna/ rising sign
will have its own characteristics.

With these points in mind let us proceed to study the various Lagnas or Ascendants in
Jyotia.
Mea (Mesha)/ Aries Lagna: The head of the Kalapurusha. The Royal sign. Ruled by
the fiery Mars, lording the 8th House also. Sudden changes in life are implicit but would
also depend on the placement of the 8th co-Lord Ketu. Yes, Ketu also lords Scorpio.
Jupiter is also a good planet, ruling Bhagya and foreign travel. Red Coral can be worn.
So can the Ruby, indicative of Surya, the 5th Lord of the future of the Jatak. Jupiters
Pushyaraga/ Pukhraj can also be worn. Avoid Diamond as Shukra is a Maraka for the
Lagna and avoid any of these Ratnas given above if the planets indicated are placed in
strength in the 3rd or 6th Houses from the Arudha Lagna. Unless you want to give
everything up and head to the forest! Emerald, generally no no, as Budh is a functional
malefic, being the 3rd and 6th Lord for all you fiery, headstrong and ambitious
folk. There is a problem in that without association with saints and Sayss, prayers
might not be accepted.

Gur (Guru) shows the Dharma of the Lagna and so the natural inclination would be
towards eternal wisdom and the esoteric arts shown by Gur (Guru). Bhagwna is
important for the natives governed by Mea (Mesha) Lagna and Magala (Mangala)
because this is the only way the battle can be won. Bhagwan Bhakta Vatsala, Magala
(Mangala).

Everything is archetypal for this Lagna since all the planets are the natural lords of the
Bhvas they govern. If ani (Shani) indicates sloggers and slogging then it is all the
more so for this Lagna since the Graha rules the 10th Bhva (Bhava) of Karma and the
profession. In this manner all the planets, lords of the Bhvas (Bhavas) are to be
understood.

Vriabha (Vrishabha)/ Taurus Lagna: The pleasure loving. Ruled by Shukra, who also
rules the 6th House of enemies. Diamond can be worn save for the conditions laid down
in Aries above. Placement of ukra in the Lagna can form the celebrated Mlavya
(Malavya)Yoga which can give a major knowledge of finance and taste for rich food.
Finance and conservatism will be dominant in the personality. Shani is the Yogakaraka
but also the Badhak Lord. Devi worship might become important to get over the struggle
which appears destined. Blue Sapphire is possible but I do not recommend this stone
ever. If you want to appease Lord Shani, do it differently. Emerald is a good choice as
Mercury rules the 2nd and 5th. Eloquence can be aplenty if this Graha is well placed.
Quite conservative and focused on finances. The sturdy and powerful Bull. Avoid
Pukhraj unless Rahu is placed in the 9th House. Likewise for the pearl as the Moon is
the functionally malefic 3rd Lord of the chart.

Great fixity is seen and conservatism since this is a Sthira Ri (Rashi) and the anger of
the bull can be tremendous if roused. Be careful with these people especially if planets
are placed in the first Drekka (Drekkana).

These people have landed property and are the Zamindrs of yore. There is a tendency
to get the most out of peeople they interact with. This is the exaltation sign or the
Uchcha Ri of the Moon and so the kingdom of the world resides in this Ri. The
Mlatkoa Ri (Moolatrikona Rashi) of the Moon as well and so Vaiya (Vaishya)
interaction is at its highest here (read money-making).

Mithuna/ Gemini Lagna: Communication, writing, information and Mercurial worlds are
dominant. Governed by Mercury. Mercury also rules the 4th House and, please, it does
NOT carry the Kendradhipati Dosha. Just like you cant blame yourself for owning your
personality (at least not usually, I hope), please afford the same privilege to Budh. Guru
is the Bdhaka, so if it is not afflicted and is well-placed, obstacles that come from the
Badhak shall not come. Fortune will rise after the marriage is Gur is well placed in the
radix.

Mars is a bad planet for the Lagna and Red Coral is best avoided. Regarding the
Ratnas we would do well to remember in general that the placement of the Grahas from
the rha Lagna and from the Lagna in the Somantha Drekka must always be
seen.

Emerald is safe. Venus is also a good planet, ruling the 5th: a Lakshmi Sthana and the
basically neutral 12th House. Diamond is also a fair possibility. Take care of that
nervous system. Even if Mars signifies it, it is your own nervous system and in the
Dasha of Budh guard against excessive thought. Shani-Surya Yoga in a Dusthana can
give an astounding Vipreeta Raja Yoga at times.

There is a rider that comes with ukra (Shukra) since the inherent attributes or
the Krakattwa of ukra are liable to take a beating due to the sexual structure of
Mithuna Ri (Rashi).

Being the 3rd Bhva from the Lagna in the Bha Chakra of the Klapurua
(Kalapurusha), this Ri indicates copulation and the culmination of all sexual activity.
This is the result of the Kma Tkona (Kama Trikona) or the trine relating to sexuality.

Karkaa (Karkata)/ Cancer Lagna: Receptive, like Chandra who lords the Lagna. The
pearl is a good gem to wear. Mars is a Yogakaraka and can give rise on its own. It can
also give Vipreeta Raja Yoga if placed in a Dusthana or afflicted but the significations of
conjoining planet will be stressed. Shukra is the Badhak and is also a functional malefic.
Guru lords the Bhagya but also the 6th House, therefore it is a mixed planet for this
Lagna.

This status of a mixed planet can be radically altered by a significantly dignified

placement of Gur bacause the most benefic planet in the zodiac does not need much
in order to shower the person with unlimited bounty.

Rahu is the 8th Lord and can become even more diabolical in this Lagna. Shani is
equally problematic except if it is placed in Lagna where it gives Simhasan Yoga. It will
give rise. As in Lagna it will be in Marana Karaka Sthana and will damage the 7th and
8th Houses, which it lords. Therefore, people with this placement can experience
difficulties in marriage or in getting married.
This is also indicative of issues arising even when ani (Shani) may not be placed in the
Lagna Bhva (Bhava) due to its 7th Bhva (Bhava) lordship. ani (Shani) is a slow and
old planet and gives its results only when the slowness and delay has manifested and
years have passed. One other facet to remember in this context is that ani (Shani)
matures at 36 years of age and before that the areas either lorded or influenced by the
planet Saturn will pose considerable problems. ani (Shani) has no time for youngsters
who according to him do not know anything, are not capable of anything and only when
the Graha delivers the Karma will they sit up, take notice, cry a little and finally 'grow up'
when they become more tolerable for ani (Shani).

Some natives born in this sign display an extremely competitive streak and can use
lesser than the best means to pull others down. This of course is never to be applied
blindly but must be confirmed by the other features of the horoscope.

Note- For the transits of Grahas relative to the various Lagnas and especially in context
of the ever moving Moon (read moods, emotions and the flow of things) the following
link contains a general daily evaluation of matters astrological-
http://planetarytransformation.blogspot.in/#!/2012/02/daily-vedic-astrology-horoscope-
jyotisa.html

Simha/ Leo Lagna: Another royal sign. Ruled by the Sun itself. Pride, authority, inability
to ask for favours. Ruby can be worn. Jupiter lords the 5th but also the 8th. The Dasha
of Guru can transform life. However, transformation might be in context of discharging
Krmic burden. The results of the Gur Da (Guru Dasha) will be hugely dependent on
the dignity and strength of the Graha. Magala/ Mars is again Yogakaraka but also the
Bdhaka (Badhaka). As it rules the 9th House, there may be conflict and struggle at the
level of luck. Surya/ Shiva must be propitiated. This can work for lawyers as they thrive
on conflict and litigation. Still, it might be a good idea to ease ones own life path. Even
lawyers are entitled to that. The Moon is the 12th Lord and if afflicted or if it is an
Amvasya (Amavasya) birth, the mind can become vulnerable to acute suffering.
Mercury, though malefic is like Kubera for the chart and can bring wealth if associated
with the rha (Arudha) Lagna.

Shani is malefic for the Lagna. This is for the reason that it is the Graha lording the
atru Bhva (Shatru Bhava) and indicates enmity in the horoscope. It can bring illness,
debts, enemies, general nuisances and emotional issues. It also rules the area of
marriage and so some romantic partners may end up showing an inimical attitude to the
native. ani rules suffering and delivering of some onerous Karma and so if the planet is
very strong and finally disposed to relent then people may not look to harm the person
in relationships but the relationships may not work out till the heavy Karma (also seen
through Bhva lordships of the Da (Dasha) lords) is exhausted. The person may look
for pragmatic partners capable of doing 'what is required'.

ani (Shani) will delay marriage and functional relationships, generally speaking and a
lot of work will be required if growth is expected of the 6th House, work and/ or remedial
measures. Work, if the Graha is associated with work or with Bhvas associated with
work by extension; remedial measures if the higher facets of Jyotia (Jyotisha) indicate
the performance of remedial measures.

Though there are other Ris (Rashis) with the Agni Tattwa, Simha has the highest
quantum of fire within it. For this reason, people with this Lagna should not undertake
onerous fasts as the Pitta/ bile in the Ri (Rashi) always needs something to work on.
People accuse the natives of this Lagna of being aloof and distant, too royal and
unwilling to consider other their equals.

Virgo/ Kany (Kanya) Lagna: Mercury again. The plea of the whole world is, perfection
is alright to strive for, but is not to be found in existence. So, do keep that in mind. Very
finicky. Emerald is again a good idea and Venus is a good planet, so the diamond is
also a good gem. Saturn is a mixed planet as it lords the 5th and 6th but Rahu, lording
Kumbha is the malefic 6th Lord. Mars is the most malefic planet and can bring adversity
in its Dasha unless well placed in Vipreeta Raja Yoga. In Lagna, it can bring fiery
issues. There is this film called Anger Management.

This sign has some deep complexities and when asked to deal with animal maturity, it
falters since this is the sign of the debilitation of ukra (Shukra) . No sex does not agree
with ukra and this Graha would like to have nothing to do with virgins indicated by
Kany (Kanya) Lagna. If ukra (Shukra) is not engaged in sexuality and sensuality and
intercourse of that kind it feels fallen and debilitated. There is a huge sense of purity as
an objective because the sign is dual and has some sort of affinity with sin or ignorance
encapsulated in some sort of belief that -'nobody is watching'. One must remember that
Jagantha has huge round eyes and He is watching all the time. The great imuprity of
the Ppapurua (Sin-Man), symbolised by all our Krmic falterings by the Graha
ani pose by far the greatest issues, even more than the abrupt Agni impulse of the
malefic Magala. There is a reason as to why people with an exalted ukra (Shukra) in
Mna Ri (Meena Rashi) have marital issues and that reason is to be found in Kany
Ri (Kanya Rashi).

This is the area in the horoscope that harbours unbridled ambition. It compels people to
work and to go to work everyday. If breakthroughs in this realm are experiences it can
mean relief coming through Kany or the 6th Bhva and this means the 6th Bhva is
becoming an Upacaya Bhva indicating growth. Illusion and malefic tendencies can be
pronounced in the Kany (Kanya) experience.

Tul (Tula)/ Libra Lagna: Private sector, social focus, love, attraction and other areas
ruled by Shukra. Shukra is also the 8th Lord so the potential for changes in life is
implicit. Jupiter is a functional malefic so the gemstone should not be lightly worn. Shani
is Yogakaraka and can bring rise on its own. In a Dusthana it can give Vipreeta Raja
Yoga. Mercury rules Bhagya so emerald is also a good choice but avoidable for the
newly married, always. Avoid the red coral as Mars is Maraka.

Since this Ri (Rashi) is the one directly opposite Mea Ri (Mesha Rashi)/ Aries it
also has a problem that the working intellect can be tainted by the filth of ignorance and
worse so that prayers are not accepted automatically. While ukra (Shukra) is himself
the greatest ascetic he likes nothing better than to tell the person under his prowess that
there is nothing more than pleasing the senses in this life. For such natives the Dwi-
Gur Yoga can come in handy.

The persons born under this sign are sociable and fond of material pleasures. It may
not be ideal for them to get into power-centric domains and they would do better instead
in realms related to fashion, beauty, luxury and film. The person would be quite
competitive in the work application. A logical approach will work well in matters of
religion.

This Ri (Rashi) is susceptible to disease and serious sexual ailments such as AIDS
come from this Ri (Rashi). Positive Grahas are required to combat these illnesses in
the horoscope.

Vricika/ Scorpio Lagna: Lorded by both Mars and Ketu. Guru is very auspicious,
ruling the 2nd and the 5th Houses. One cannot term Gur (Guru) as Mraka (Maraka)
and bode evil due to a Ri (Rashi) placement of Gur (Guru). Gur (Guru) is the
greatest protection in the nativity and is a representative of Bhagwna. It is the only
Graha which does good for the native without asking for anything in return. We must
also remember that Parara has a specific dictum for the placement of Gur (Guru) in
the Lagna in any Ri (Rashi) whatsoever.

Mercury is a functional malefic. Shani remains a malefic. Venus is a Maraka. Sun is a

good planet, ruling Karma. The Moon is also a benefic for the Lagna, ruling luck itself.
The pearl, Ruby and Red Coral can be choices for this Lagna. These people can be
pre-disposed to research and occult study and the Guru-Mangal Yoga can be especially
fruitful.

If I do not mince my words, the Jtaka of this Lagna will readily agree that they have
faced some heavy trials in life. If the Grahas are not very strong in the nativity then they
will often feel that they have had to carry some unseen burden. This is a difficult Ri
and the challenge is to keep the heart clean and at any cost the emotions should not be
poisoned. Refer back to the part about Gur above and this need not be taken literally-it
can be any source of wisdom and illumination. Some natives can be hirsute.

Dhanua or Dhanu/ Sagittarius Lagna: Lorded by Gur (Guru) which is the Lagnea
(Lagnesha) and the ruling Graha. Pushyaraga/ Pukhrja (Pukhraja) or the yellow
sapphire is an automatic choice since it is the Ratna of the Lagnea (Lagnesha) or the
Lagna Lord. The gemstone for Mars/ Magala (Mangala), the red coral or
Mg (Moonga) is also a good choice, being the 5th Lord. The sign rules teachers,
lawyers and finance professionals. It is the Mtatkoa (Moolatrikona) of Ketu and the
Swaketra (Swakshetra) or own house of Gur (Guru) nand so it gives expression to
profound religious and spiritual literature with a focus on final emancipation through
eternal wisdom or Jna. The Sun rules Bhagya and the Ruby is a good choice along
with the red coral. Mercury is a Badhak planet and also carries the Kendradhipati
Dosha; if it is afflicted, it can cause trouble. Shukra is also a functional malefic lording
the 6th and the 11th Houses and can punish. So, natives of this Lagna can experience
trouble in the area of romance and marriage unless the Karma is offset by fine
placements in the nativity.

Makara/ Capricorn Lagna: Lorded by Shani. Pragmatic and practical people, good with
managerial and functional aspects of life. Venus is the Yogakaraka and diamond is a
good choice. Jupiter is a malefic for this Lagna. Mercury, though the 6th Lord is also the
9th Lord and is a bit of a mixed planet. Mars is not bad as it gets exalted in the Lagna
and only Ketu can truly pose trouble for the chart. For this reason red coral or Mg for
Magala cannot be ruled out for the Lagna at the outset. Guru, even if debilitated can
give Rajayoga provided Shani is placed in strength. Not everything in life comes without
a price, if at all, so this placement can pose troubles to siblings if Guru is Neecha in
Lagna.

Makara is also known by the name Nakra. It indicates fixity and a certain Krmic
confusion which makes the blessings of Gur (Guru) slightly difficult to receive. Readers
should dwell in the pictorial and symbolic representation of this Ri (Rashi) for further
insights.

Kumbha/ Aquarius Lagna: Kumbha Lagna is lorded by both ani and Rhu (Shani
and Rahu). Philosophical, linked with groups, democratic. This sign is so expansive,
though malefic, that Gur (Guru), the most benefic planet gives results akin to
exaltation. It is a good thing because there is real need for the illumination that comes
from wisdom for this sign.

Shukra is Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) and is capable of giving success on its own withut
requiring association of any other Graha. It gives excellent results. The diamond is a
good choice for this Lagna. Mercury is the 5th and 8th Lord is a favorable planet but can
also bring sudden adversity and requirements of personal transformation which are
always vulnerable periods and cannot be said to be auspicious from the social point of
view.

Jupiter can be a wealth planet for this Lagna as it lords the 2nd and the 11th Houses for
the chart-it is capable of performing functions akin to Kubera, the lord of wealth. An
interesting point to note here is that despite Rahus bad reputation, it can crown the
native with success when it transits the trines to the Arudha Lagna. It is opposite for the
same transit of Ketu.

Natives of this Lagna might do well to look up some thoughts at this website by clicking
this link- 'happy hours'. There is a lot of mood altering going on in this sign and
intoxication and pharmaceuticals find their roots in this Ri.

Mna (Meena)/ Pisces Lagna: The sign of release, final emancipation. The Rai
(Rashi) of the is (Rishis). The persons born in this Lagna are ruled by Brihaspati, the
Gur (Guru) of the planet Jupiter, the greatest benefic in the zodiac. Those with Guru in
Lagna have the Hamsa Mahapurusha Yoga. Very pious and spiritual people. Such
people with Gur (Guru) in Mna (Meena) Lagna have extremely high levels of
intelligence and the benefits of the Lagna come through the Tattwa or the foundational
elements of creation.

Mars is also a very favorable and both Pushyaraga and the Mg (Moonga)/ Red
Coral is also a good choice. Magala (Mangala) being the 2nd Lord and the 9th Lord
acts almost as a Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Mna (Meena) Lagna. Shukra/ Venus
lords the 3rd and 8th Lord and can bring trials, so the diamond is best avoided,
generally speaking. Romance and marriage as too delicate and unfavourable placement
of Venus for the Mna Lagna can cause problems.

This Ri (Rashi) also has some Krmic perplexities associated with it and the fact that
they have a sleepy and dreamy demeanour could have more to it.

The Moon is an auspicious Graha for this Lagna, being the 5th Lord of Prva Punya
(Poorva Punya) or good deeds done in the past lives. If Budha/ Mercury is involved in
auspicious combinations then the Doa (Dosha) of ownership of the quadrants will not
manifest.

Glancing at the various Lagnas in this manner is only the tip of the iceberg as far as
predictive Jyotia (Jyotisha) is concerned and specific professional papers composed
for consulters all over the world such as the Detailed Chart Analysis, Customised or
Composite Charts Analyses-coalescing various astrological modules, Compatibility
Analysis, Tithi Pravea Cakra Analysis/ Annual Chart Analysis et al serve to
demonstrate the manner in which these multifarious Vedic astrological techniques use
the principles in a pragmatic manner so as to address the needs of the clients.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF CERTAIN YOGAS IN JYOTIA (JYOTISH) FOR VARIOUS

LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS-

By Yoga is meant 'yoking' or joining and this may not accrue only due to two or more
Grahas, even though this is the most common manner in which Yogas are formed.
It might be apposite here to discuss certain Yogas that might obtain with respect to the
Lagna/ Ri (Rashi)/ sign/ascendant (s) the characteristics of which have been
enumerated above for the sake of continuity and cohesion of understanding.

When core astrological areas such as the characteristics and attributes of the various
Lagnas are coalesced with the much discussed Yogas, especially in focussed
professional consulting work, it becomes possible to understand the potential of life and
what the person has to work with as a given. Free-will and determinism are
complex theoretical issues and while there are crystal clear expositions on the subject in
Jyotia, for the present purposes suffice it to say that when the combinations formed by
the planets in certain signs are analysed, they start telling a certain story, which is an
incredible mirror to what has transpired in life, what is happening and of course what
may reasonably be expected to occur at a future time. Other factors such as Das
make it a picture so rich and replete with realism, that this ancient art becomes
irresistible.

Mea (Mesha) Lagna/ Aries-

The celebrated Gur-Magala (Guru-Mangal) Yoga formed by the association, including

conjunction of Mars and Jupiter is an auspicious Yoga where the Agni is channeled well
and the knowledge and wisdom attained are expressed well. The placement of ani
(Shani) in dignity with Gur (Guru) can also make for the Dharmakarmdhipati
(Dharmakarmadhipati) Yoga where the application in work is excellent. The sobering
factors come from the 8th House lordship of Magala (Mangal) and the Bdhaka
(Badhaka) status of ani (Shani) as the 11th Lord for the movable Lagna.

Vabha (Vrishabha) Lagna/ Taurus-

ani (Shani) is the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) Graha for the Vabha (Vrishabha) Lagna
and as the 9th and 10th Lord of the horoscope it is itself capable of giving the Rjayoga
(Rajayoga).

Readers should refer to my article on Viparta Rja Yoga on this website for further
insight as to the unique position a malefic Yogakraka enjoys by virtue of certain
placements in the horoscope. (Without accent marks, the Yoga is written as Vipareeta
Raja Yoga).

Budha is an excellent planet for this Lagna and the Yoga of either Lagnea (Lagnesha)
ukra (Shukra) with ani (Shani) (despite other problems that such a combination might
create) or the Yoga or ukra (Shukra) with Budha can be excellent.

Mithuna Lagna/ Gemini-

The auspiciousness of the Yogas is quite similar, and these are statements tarred with a
very broad brush-since Yogas are a huge subject in Jyotia (Jyotisha) and cannot be
discussed in snippets, to those obtaining for Taurus Lagna. Gemini/ Mithuna Lagna is
governed by Budha and the association of this planet with ukra (Shukra) leads to
auspicious results. The association of the Lagnea (Lagnesha) Budha with the
Pacamea ukra (Panchamesha Shukra) leads to excellent results.

Karkaa (Karkata) Lagna/ Cancer-

When we think of either the former Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi or the Chief
Minister of Orissa r Navin Pattanaik, ani (Shani) in Karkaa (Karkata) Lagna is a
sure-shot Rjayoga (Rajayoga). This happens only with Mna (Meena) or Karkaa Ri
(Karkata Rashi) in the Simhsana (Simhasana)/ throne Bhvas (Bhavas).

There may be problems associated with the Krakattwa of ani (Shani) in these
placements but the Rjayoga (Rajayoga) accrues to the extent promised by the
horoscope. Other crucial planets should of course not be flushed down the drain in
order for the benefits to come through properly.

Magala (Mangal) is an excellent planet for this Lagna ruling the 5th Bhva (Bhava)
from the Lagna and the 10th Bhva (Bhava) from the Lagna as well. If well placed both
the spiritual and material worlds and their blessings are forthcoming to the native. We
should again remember the Viparta Rja Yoga (Vipareeta Raja Yoga) that will come
from the malefic Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) but the ideal situation is that such a Graha
should not be placed with another beneficial Graha which the malefic will destroy.

A great Hamsa Mhpurua (Mahapurusha) Yoga is formed if Gur (Guru) is placed in

the Lagna in exaltation. One can pray to the Ri Cakra (Rashi Chakra) of Bhagwna
r Rma (Bhagwana Shri Rama) with exalted Jupiter/ Gur (Guru) in Karkaa Lagna
(Karkata)/ Cancer joined a Swaketra (Swakshetra)/ own sign Cadra (Chandra)
forming Gajakesar (Gajakesari) Yoga in the Lagna. Any association of Gur (Guru) with
Karka Ri (Rashi) in the radix and in the Navma Cakra (Navamsha Chakra) will
bless the native with high spirituality and esoteric wisdom. External benefits such as
name and fame shall also come.

Note-

The impact for the rwelve Lagnas from Mea (Mesha)/ Aries to Mna (Meena)/ Pisces is
also largely contingent on the transits of the various planets and this is applied to the
Lagnas for the rising sign or the Ascendant/ Udaya Lagna, the Cadra (Chandra)
Lagna/ Ri/ (Rashi) Jama Ri (Janma Rashi)or just Ri (Rashi) and of course to
the rha Lagna (Arudha Lagna).

The website offers premium monthly Vedic astrology content which is restricted
to subscribers and is not being published on the website. The content is being sent to
the subscribers through an elaborate email/ independent PDF attachment focussing on
each sign/ Vedic Ri (rashi) and the movement of the nine planets/ Grahas as it
applies to the Lagna, Cadra Lagna (Chandra Lagna) and rha (Arudha) Lagna
continuum described in the post the link to which is given at the end of this Note.

The movement of the Grahas is being evaluated from the Lagna, Cadra (Chandra)
Lagna/ Moon Sign, rha (Arudha) Lagna and advanced findings being recorded
based on correlations of the various astrological entities such as Bhva (Bhava),
aspects, conjunctions, signs, intervention/ Argala et al. This will also include the
application of the device of Varga Gochara or divisional transits based on the Amas
(Amshas) attained by the planets in transit. The subtle picture is revealed in this manner
making it a composite whole.

Simha Lagna/ Leo-

The ruling planet is Ravi/ the Sun and its placement in a certain Bhva from the Lagna
is key. Since the Srya (Surya) Lagna is a reference in itself and it is the lord of the
Lagna, one must study the placement of the Sun with care.

Budha/ Mercury is a good planet and Gur as the 5th and 8th Lord carries great spiritual
and transforming potential. An association of Gur and Budha apart from giving
excellent communication skills, intelligence, logical ability, rationality and intellectual
alacrity and adaptability, also forms the Gur-iya (Guru Shishya) Yoga where the
person stands to learn from esoteric traditions. Budha speacially plays the role of
Kubera being the 2nd and the 11th Lord and its involvement in any Dhana Yogas are
bound to bring great gains to the person born in Simha Lagna.

Magala (Mangal)/ Mars is by far the best and most favourable planet for this Lagna
being the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Lagna and having the power to give
Rjayoga (Rajayoga) on its own. Association of Gur (Guru) with Magala (Mangal)
forms the Gur-Magala (Guru-Mangala) Yoga which is excellent for lawyers, teachers,
judges, finance professionals and spiritualists alike. If the horoscope is otherwise
strong, an association of ukra (Shukra) with Magala (Mangal) can form
Dharmakarmdhipati (Dharmakarmadhipati) Yoga and can lead to stupendous
achievement in the career realm.

In Ravi is placed in the Daama Bhva (Dasham Bhava) or the 10th House it attains
100% Digbala/ directional strength and imparts great leadership skills to the native.

Kany (Kanya) Lagna/ Virgo-

Since this Lagna is the exaltation sign for Budha/ Mercury, the placement of Budha in
Lagna leads to the Bhadra Mahpurua (Mahapurusha) Yoga. ukra (Shukra) is the
2nd and the 9th Lord from the Lagna and any association of Budha and ukra (Shukra)
is likely to generate Lakm (Lakshmi) Yoga.

Despite the ownership of the Kedra (Kendra) if Gur (Guru) is well placed in the Ri
Cakra (Rashi Chakra) fortune can smile after marriage. ani (Shani) is a mixed planet
being the 6th Lord as well and generally speaking causes notable problems for this
Lagna. Cadra (Chandra) is the 11th Lord and association with the benefic Budha and
ukra (Shukra) can augment gains and lead to the fulfilment of desires. Yogas involving
these planets will be fortunate for the native of Kany (Kanya) or Virgo Lagna.

Tul (Tula) Lagna/ Libra-

For this Lagna, the natural malefic ani (Shani) is a Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) and is
capable of giving Rjayoga (Rajayoga) on its own without assistance from another
Graha. It is the lord of the 4th and the 5th Houses, a Kedra (Kendra) and Tkoa
(Trikona) both and so Viu-Lakm (Vishnu-Lakshmi) Yoga is guarantted if ani
(Shani) supports.

A unique Yoga is formed when ani (Shani) is placed in the Dusthna (Dusthana) from
the Lagna in either the 6th, 8th or the 12th Bhvas from the Lagna where unexpected
success accrues to the native. It is ideal if no other Graha is placed with ani (Shani)
because the malefic Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) is capable of damaging the
significations of the other Graha.

Budh strongly indicates foreign lands and works well when participating in Yogas with
the Lagnea ukra (Lagnesha Shukra) or with ani (Shani), though considering the
nature of these Grahas they should not impact certain Bhvas (Bhavas).

Vcika (Vrishchika)/ Scorpio-

Gur (Guru) is an excellent Graha for this Lagna and the blessings are in fact required
for the persons born under this rising sign/ Lagna/ Ascendant. Gur (Guru)/ Jupiter rules
the 2nd and 5th Bhvas from the Lagna and strongly indicates Lakm (Lakshmi). It
governs the type of Karm (Karma) that the native shall experience and also the quality
of speech, absorption of knowledge, finances, food and drink, intelligence,
discrimination, progeny and such areas which have to be shortlisted based on other
factors in the horoscope.

Cadra (Chandra)/ the Moon is also an excellent planet for this Lagna being the
Bhgyea (Bhagyesha) or the 9th Lord. A Gajakear (Gajakesari) Yoga would truly
make the native a renowned figure as the intelligence and purity would also be
supported by sheer fortune. Ravi is the 10th Lord as it should be. There are two great
blessings by way of ready made Yogas for this Lagna-one they are inherently blessed in
matters of progeny and children and two, Karm and application in work is excellent
since Ravi attains a kind of Krmic Digbala.

Tests are thus reserved in the personal realm only and are mostly directed to life
circumstance and personality.

Dhanua (Dhanusha) Lagna/ Sagittarius-

Gur (Guru) in the Lagna forms Hamsa Mahpurua (Mahapurusha) Yoga and the
person will be excellent in his knowledge of finance, spiritualism, esoteric arts, and
religion. This is an excellent Yoga for this Lagna. Ravi as the lord of the Bhgya Sthna
(Bhagya Sthana) makes divinity all the more manifest in life. The soul connects easily
with God if the Sun is powerful and well placed in the nativity.

Despite the Kedrdhipati Doa (Kendradhipati Dosha) attributed to Budha, if this

Graha is well placed, the areas of work and marriage will give a lot of happiness,
especially work awarness will be at a premium. So many other factors such as the
Karmea (Karmesha) will play an important role before anything can be ventured but
then all that is in the realm of predictive-analytical work and here in this paper Yogas
and combinations are being dicsussed.

Makara Lagna/ Capricorn-

This is one of the signs with inherent Krmic (Karmic) confusion. Even so, ukra/
Shukra/ Venus is the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) Graha for this Lagna as it lords a
Kedra (Kendra/ quadrant) and a Tkoa (Trikona/ trine) from the Lagna both. The
auspicious placement of Venus for Makar/ Capricorn Lagna can make life vastly
different.

Mercury is a problem planet being the 6th and the 9th lord both for the Lagna. Jealousy
can inhibit real growth but is such problems are addressed then Bhgya can flower. The
Yoga of Budha with ukra (Shukra) and with ani (Shani) though causative of other
issues can lead to Lakm (Lakshmi) Yoga and such fortunate combinations.

Duryoga or bad things can accrue through artificial ego-aspirations due to the malefic
lordship of the Sun. Magala (Mangal/ Mars) even though inimical to the Lagnea ani
(Lagnesha Shani) is not in itself a bad Graha for the Lagna. Firstly, Magala (Mangal)
gets exalted in the Lagna and rules the 4th and 11th Bhvas (Bhavas/ houses).
Secondly, enterprise and aspirations may have been viewed with circumspection when
the Yogas were put down in writing by the sages (is/ Rishis) but in the Kaliyuga and
in the birth in Bhloka (Bhuloka) the quality of initiative and enterprise aimed at gains
and aspirations and their attainment cannot be viewed with a slanted eye.

In other words the Yogas involving Mars are crucial for this Lagna.

Kubha (Kumbha)/ Aquarius Lagna-

For the Kumbha or Aquarius Lagna Rhu and ani (Rahu and Shani) are crucial
planets as they lord the Lagna.

ukra (Shukra/ Venus) is again the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Lagna ruling the
4th and the 9th Houses. Check the dignity and placement of the Moon/ Cadra
(Chandra) for the Karma relating to the mother and for mental peace due to the portfolio
allocated to ukra (Shukra) who is not aligned with the Moon.

Due to their own fluidity, they look for a dominant and regal spouse and so marriage can
impact status and resources considerably. Mars is equally important as it is for
Capricorn Lagna/ Makara/ Nakra due to the 3rd and 10th House lordship.

Budha is a Krmic planet and this factor can never be overlooked, especially in the
Da (Dasha) even if this Graha is placed in the 5th Bhva from the Lagna.

Mna/ Meena/ Pisces Lagna-

Once again this sign has some Krmic (Karmic issues) and Gur (Guru/ Jupiter) is the
best planet for the Lagna. Despite the friendship with the Lagnea (Lagnesha), Ravi/ the
Sun can be a really problematic planet. I have found people of this Lagna besotted with
politics, power and authority figures, all indicated by the Sun and they are usually a long
way off the mark.

While Magala (Mangala) is a Deva Graha its malefic lordship for the Bhgya Bhva
(Bhagya Bhava) is not easy and remedial measures are required. Once the fate anf
fortune decides to smile then Yogas between Gur (Guru) and Budha for instance can
create excellent knowledge based environments. The Moon and Jupiter can also form
excellent Yogas due to their beneficial lordships from the Lagna.

Thus when we see the characteristics of the Lagna and the Yogas that can obtain to
propel the natives of the various Lagnas, with their own characteristics and life paths,
we can begin to understand the basic framework which results for the purposes of
elaborate astrological analysis. All these factors are then carried over to each divisional
chart of interest and studied with the many, countless tools of esoteric classical Vedic
astrology/ Jyotia in order to arrive at specific understandings about the person's life.
This is crucial. Humanity has advanced and nations have advanced as far as empirical
and material life is concerned and such focused and elaborate work must distinguish
between the varying characteristics of people's lives so as to astutely explain to them
the reasons and the background and the future propensities about their own lives and
not just some general trends that might broadly apply to anyone with similar Yogas.
This sort of attention to detail and personalised adherence to the horoscope at hand has
to be the hallmark of all consulting.

What do the various types of Analyses and papers described and reproduced on this
website do? A lot of classical references and interpretations are route-maps travelled in
order to arrive at advisory conclusions and in all my consulting, they are there also for
the reading pleasure of advanced Jyotia enthusiasts and consulters. This is deep and
profound knowledge at its core drawn from the unique and renowned mystic heritage of
India, and a vast number of consulters are also dedicated Vedic astrology enthusiasts-
this elaborate journey in each consulting paper is also undertaken for their benefit. But
the ultimate objective is always to gives reponses that directly and unambiguously
address the realities, needs and requirements of the person approaching me for
solutions.

1. Highly susceptible to fire: Strong Agni. Agni Rasi,

lorded by Agni Graha Mangal and is the Uccha Rasi for
another Agni Graha Surya.
2. Fond of in visiting foreign places: Strong Agni. Rasi
of strong influence of Suryathis makes the person leave
home land and wander in foreign land. Settling in a place
is difficult due to high energy level. High energy = High
mobility. This is also a movable sign (Chara Rasi).
3. Miserly: Strong benefic influence in the 3rd house
makes one miserly. Here the 3rd house is owned by
Budha. Also, Mesha Rasi represent a very young age,
where the tendency is to hoard rather than sharing with
others.
4. Emaciated: Strong Agni = High metabolism.
5. Not happy: Strong Krura grahas influence on the Lagna.
Always anxious.
6. Jealous: Jealousy = Budha. Look at the 3rd and 6th
house, governed by Budha. Also, Rahu gets Uccha in the
3rd house and Mulatrikona in the 6th house, indicating
strong Rahu influences on these two houses.
7. Stammering speech: Strong watery element in the
2nd house indicate stammering due to heave tongue. 2nd
house from Mesha is governed by Jala Tattva Shukra and
is the Uccha Rasi for Chandra.
8. Troubled by Bilious and Windy diseases, and
complaints of heat:Bilious = Strong Agni. Windy is
caused by Strong Agni as Agni and Vayu are strong
friends.
9. Skilful in performance: High energy level. This skill is
coming from Mangal and Surya.
10. Timid: Strong Benefic influence on the 3rd house. The
3rd house from Mesha is ruled by Budha indicating
Timidity.
11. Religious: 9th house is ruled by Devaguru Brhaspati.
12. Not very intelligent: Here intellect does not mean the
ability to reason, but the ability to choose the right thing
at the right time and place. This is because strong
influence of Surya on the lagna and the 5th house. Surya
makes one behave according to own wish, instead of
adapting to the expected norms.
13. Destroy others wealth: Others = 7th house, Others
wealth = 8th house. 8th house falls in Vrschika Rasi,
where Chandra gets Neecha.
14. Fickle-minded: Strong influence of Mangal on the
Head. Mangal and Chandra are two grahas which cause
fickle-mindedness.
15. Enjoy pleasures: 4th house is the house of comfort,
governed by Chandra and is the Uccha sthana for Guru.
Hence, this indicates that these natives are fond of
comforts and luxuries on life.
16. Famous: Surya gets Uccha in the Lagna. The Lagna
lord gets Uccha in the 10th house. Guru and Chandra are
comfortably placed in the Lagna.
17. Ugly nails: Shani gets Neecha in the Lagna, indicating
that these natives have some issues pertaining to things
governed by Shani.
18. Bereft of Brothers: Especially elder brothers are less
born to these natives, as the 11th is owned by Shani and
Rahu. Whichever Bhava has strong influence of Shani
and Rahu, the native is either separated from the
significations of that Bhava or have suffering pertaining
to them.
19. Abandoned by father: Separation of father is
indicated because 9th lord gets Neecha in the 10th house
and the Lagna lord gets neecha in the 4th house.
Weakness in the 4th-10th axis indicate early separation
from father. Another combination is Surya Uccha or
Neecha in the 1st-7th axis.
20. Walk fast: Strong Agni influence. Chara Rasi.
21. Inactive (or unlucky) children: Strong Agni Tattva
in the 5th house can cause anxiety or separation from
Children.
22. Various kinds of wealth: Precious metals and stones
are given by Surya and Chandra, who are well placed in
the lagna. Also, the 2nd house of wealth is owned by
Shukra and is the Ucchakshetra for Chandra. Shukra =
luxuries. Chandra = previous stones, good food etc.
23. Virtuous: Guru and Surya are good friends to this
Lagna. Strong Surya destroys all darkness and strong
Guru gives good guidance to be in the righteous path.
24. Wife belongs to a base family: Shani is the only
inimical Graha towards Lagnesha Mangal, while Shukra
and Budha are only neutral. The weakness is where the
enemy gets Uccha. Shani attains Uccha in the 7th house,
indicating that this will be the area of weakness in these
natives life.
25. Reproached even by her own people: Friends are
seen from the 11th house. The 11th house is governed by
Shani and Rahu, who are inimical towards the Lagnesha
Mangal. Thus, these natives are reproached by the friends
and well-wishers. Also 4th house is the Bandhu Bhava
i.e., the people who makes the person comfortable.
Lagnesha is Neecha in the 4th house, indicating that
these people find it difficult to get comfort from others.
26. Derive happiness and wealth in undesirable
manners: This is an extreme condition because, Mangal
gets Neecha in the house of comforts i.e., the 4th house.
 Indicating that the native can resort to Neecha Means
(undesirable means) to get comfort.

wife, (2) Fond of ornaments, (3) Charitable, (4)
Respectable, (5) Two mothers, (6) Favourable even to his
enemies, Destroy even fearful enemies, (7) Interested in
music, fine arts, Vedas, Shastras, amusement, poetry etc.,

relatives, (13) Limbs are of irregular sizes, (14) Round eyes,
(15) Fierce in appearance, (16) Endowed with lands, jewels,

1. Has a dear wife: Lagnesha is friendly to Karaka

Shukra. 7th lord Guru attains uccha in the 2nd house of
family. Karaka Shukra attains Uccha in the Rasi ruled by
the 7th lord Guru.
2. Fond of ornaments: Love and liking comes from the
5th house. 5th House falls in Tula Rasi, ruled by Shukra,
the graha ruling femininity and love of ornaments.
3. Charitable: Charity comes from strong Dharma, 9th
house. 9th lord Shani attains Uccha in the 5th house of
love and psychology. What prevails in the mind is seen
from the 5th house. Also the 9th co-lord Rahu attains
Uccha in the Lagna.
4. Respectable: Respect and honour comes from the
strength of the Lagna. Who attains Uccha in the Lagna?
9th co-lord Rahu, that of preceptor and masters, attains
Uccha in the Lagna.
5. Two mothers: The Rasi is not positive towards Chandra
as Budha is inimical towards it. Mithuna is also a Dual
Rasi indicating two mothers. Lagnesha Budha attains
Uccha in the 4th house of mother, another dual Rasi,
indicating two mothers. One is the real mother, another
one can be an maternal aunt.
6. Favourable even to his enemies, destroys even
fearful enemies: There is strong connection of the
Shatru Bhava with this Lagna. Because the 6th house and
the 6th from the 6th house both owned by Mangal. So the
same graha owns both the 6th and 11th house. The native
is not perturbed by enmity because of the nature of
Lagnesha Budha. Budha is the karaka of non-violence
and is the counterforce of Mangal, the graha of violence
and aggression. Budha keep the mind undisturbed. Also
look at the 5th house which gives Stamina and Balance of
mind. It is where the graha of sorrow and pain, Shani,
Gains Uccha, indicating high tolerance towards

lord Shukra attains Uccha in the 7th house, the Rasi of
Guru.
17. Sensuous (kaami): This is not generic, as Kanya Rasi
people believe in platonic love and friendship. This is
because Shukra attains Neecha in this Rasi and Budha
attains Uccha. Kanya = maidens who have not attained

mostly platonic. The Sensual aspect comes only when
they are in intimate relationship. Here Shukra attains
Uccha in the 7th house. Sex = Shukra, 7th house. Since,
 they are not sensuous in most relationship, it is not right

for this Lagna.
18. Famous (yasha): Fame = Surya, Chandra, Guru,

bhakta): Strong influence of Guru on the 9th house. 9th
lord attains Uccha in Gurus Kshetra. Also, the Mind,
Chandra attains Uccha in the 9th house.
24. Sinful (paapairhaaryavrttai): This is an exception,
when the Lagnesha is weak. There is hidden sinful
tendency in this Lagna because of (1) Lagna is Rahus
Mulatrikona Rasi, (2) Aggressive Mangal attaining Uccha
in the 5th house. Thus there is strong Shani-Mangal
energy in the 5th house of psyche. However, this is
dormant since Budha is the karaka for Purity and
innocence. Only when Budha is afflicted and its purity
corrupted, the sinful tendencies are manifested.
25. Inimical to brothers (sahajaischa samam
virudhascha): Brothers = 3rd house, 11th house. 3rd
lord = Mangal, 11th lord= Chandra. Lagna lord Budha is

be serious discord with younger brothers as Mangal hates
Budha even more.

Feminine, maidens, small girls. Native is blessed with the
significations of Kanya Rasi, even though this does not
fall in the 5th house of Children.
27. Phlegmatic and windy in humour (anila-
kapha): Budha is equal balance of all the three Dosas
Vata, Pitta and Kapha. See below. However, since Shukra
attains Neecha here, the combination of Vata and Kapha
dominates. Also, the diseases these natives will be
 affected by can be seen from the 6th house falling in
Kumbha. Kumbha = Super Strong Vata. Hence Kanya
Lagna people have high susceptibility towards suffering
from Vata Diseases.
28. Stay away from base and inimical people (nicha-
ari-vivarjita): Kanya = Rasi of Purity. So the mind is
inclined towards Purity. To stay in the company of good
people. Strong Principles = Lagnesha attaining Uccha in
the Lagna.
29. Talkative (katha): Budha = Speech, communication.
Budha cant stay without talking (Mauna). The best way
to calm the mind of these natives is to ask them to
observe Mauna Vrata for a short window of time
everyday. Budha = highly energetic and fluctuating.
Hence, they need to calm their mind for them to focus on
certain areas. Else, they want to do too many things in
too short time.

of the Grahas are:

(1) Surya = 3 Pitta. (2) Chandra = 2 Vata + 1 Kapha. (3)

7. Friend Chandra owns the 8th house and is the giver of
strength to Guru. It attains Uccha in the 6th house of
difficulties, celibacy and enemies, indicating that the
native is persevering (not afraid of difficulties), not prone
to sexual pleasures and is equanimous towards enemies.
8. Friend Mangal owns the 5th and the 12th house and
attains Uccha in the 2nd house of family and Neecha in
 the 8th house of longevity. The Uccha of 5th lord Mangal
in the 2nd house indicate, their love and affection (5th)
for the family (2nd), especially the brothers. The Uccha of
the 12th lord in the 2nd house indicate, gain of wealth
(2nd) from foreign land (12th), especially in the matters
governed by Mangal (rational thinking, engineering,
technology, science etc). Loss of longevity (Neecha in 8H)
or danger to life can be caused by 5th and 12th house
matters especially when Mangal is also involved. This
indicate some challenges in life indicated at the time of
Birth of a Child or Leaving homeland. Also, too much of
aggression (Mangal influence on 5th) can lead to loss of
health. Or some losses in life due to battles or fights
(Mangal influence on 12th) can have adverse impact on
the health.
9. Among the Asura Grahas, Shani causes Neecha to Guru
but is Neutral towards it. Guru is also neutral towards
Shani. Shukra is neutral as it attains Uccha in Gurus
Rasi. On the other hand Guru is highly inimical towards
Shukra. Budha is neutral towards Guru while Guru is
inimical towards Budha. Thus although Budha and
Shukra are neutral towards Guru, Guru is inimical
towards them.
10. Neutral Shani owns the 2nd and 3rd house and attains
Uccha in the 11th house and Neecha in the 5th house.
This indicates income or gain (11th) through investment
of wealth (2nd) or through knowledge matters (2nd).
Uccha of 3rd lord in the 11th house indicate, gain through
some talent of hand (3rd) such as writing, painting,
sculpture, sword fighting etc. Neecha of the 2nd and 3rd
lord in the 5th house area of life the native is not fond of.
 These are family (2nd) and siblings (5th); meaning that
the native is not attached to wealth, family and siblings,
valour, adventure etc. These people fight not because
they love fighting (3rd), but because they consider this to
be their dharma (9th).
11. Neutral Shukra owns the 6th (difficulties, enemies) and
11th house (income, gain, friendship). Shukra attains
Uccha in the 4th house of home indicating real estate,
home, vehicles etc (4th). after difficulties (6th). The
uccha of the 11th lord in the 4th house indicate, income
going up in building real estate or landed properties.
Neecha of the 6th lord in the 10th house indicate,
enmities, conflicts and difficulties (6th) can cause loss of
status and position. Neecha of the 11th lord in the 10th
house indicate they have to make a choice between high
status / position and high income. Rise in income can
show loss of position. The rise in position happens when
the focus is on successfully completing the work at hand
and not gaining income from that.
12. Neutral Budha owns the 7th house (trade, commerce,
relationship) and the 10th house (activities, status and
position). Budha attains Uccha in the 10th house
indicating, only hard work can bring them high status in
life. Uccha of the 7th lord in the 10th house can indicate
success in trade or commerce, or help of the partner or
spouse in attaining success at work. Budha attains
Neecha in the 4th house. So the source of unhappiness
and discomfort is when the native is not successful at
work, loss of position or lack of recognition at work
(10th), or after getting into a relationship or marriage
(7th), which is especially caused by Budha related
 matters i.e., communication, speech, writing or mingling
with the colleagues etc.

1. Big teeth (sthuladanstunga): Not clear why Dhanu
Lagna should have big teeth. Perhaps because the symbol
is half human half horse. Or Perhaps a Human with
strong animal instinct.
2. prominent forehead (prthulamurdha): Strong
influence of Agni on the head = less hair. Forehead =
Destiny. Dhanu = natural 9th house of destiny.
3. Patronise dependents (pranataanam-
priyakari): Family = 2nd house. 2nd lord attains Uccha
in the 11th house of gains. Karaka for family = Chandra.
Lagnesha attains Uccha in Chandras Rasi. Family is also
a source weakness to these people, as Lagnesha Guru
attains Neecha in the 2nd house of family.
4. Persevering (dhrti samanvita): Perseverance is seen
in the face of difficulties. Difficulties = 6th house. These
native are very receptive to difficulties, because the lord
of difficulties Shukra attains Uccha in the 4th house of
comforts. Also, these people have no feat from unknowns
or uncertainties (8th house) as the Lagnesha attains
Uccha in the 8th house. Meaning, these people very
positive towards uncertainties and look forward to it.
They dont like to spend too much time in planning, as
uncertainties give them thrill.
5. Physically strong (sattva samanvita): Sattva means
strength and Sattva also means Sattva Guna. Also Sattva
Guna = Strength. The strength to sustain ones dharma
and duties under any adversities. Sattva = Not give up.
Dhanu = Natural 9th house of Dharma. Agni Tattva Rasi,
owned by Sattva Guna Graha, Guru. Agni Tattva = Burn
anything that is Dark, show light in the Darkness, dispel
 darkness. Dhanu Rasi = Dvisvabhava Agni = Balanced
Fire or light.
6. Dirty nose and lips (malinaasikoshtha): It is not
clear why. Perhaps because of the Rasi symbol. Also, I am
not sure if the translation of the Sanskrit word is
accurate.
7. Ugly nails (kunakhi): Nails = Shani. Arms = 3rd house
in Kumbha. Ugli nails may be due to strong Saturn and
Rahu influence on the 3rd house.
8. Just (hrimaan): 9th house = House of justice, fairness.
Lagnesha Guru = Judge.
9. Fat thigh and belly (atipeevarorujathara): Body
structure of Lagnesha Guru. But being an Agni Rasi, the
body structure is not so corpulent compare to Gurus
another Rasi, the Meena Rasi. Gurus body shape is
usually that of Indian Temple Priests. Guru = Priests.
10. Expert in science and scriptures
(vijnaanashastrakushala). 9th house = Higher
knowledge. Guru = great teacher, teacher of all subjects.
11. Progressive intellect (pratyagramiti): Guru =
Karaka for intellect. Ketus Uccha Rasi = Out of the box
thinking, strong vision for the future. Visionary.
Lagnesha uccha in the 8th house = knowledge of the
hidden, universe, darkness, blackholes, dark matter etc.
Knowledge of another world. Knowledge of things which
are yet to come.
12. Irascible (prakopascha): Agni Rasi = High temper.
8th house = Short temper. Lagna = Agni Rasi. Lagnesha
is positive in the 8th house.
13. Not afraid of opposing even the most powerful
people (balinaammarshanapara): Fearlessness
given by the 3rd house Kumbha, owned by Shani and
Rahu. Kumbha = Rasi of ghosts and goblins,
dismembered spirits, spirits who are in transition
between mortal body and final destination. They have the
guts to call their biggest rival on a lunch and dinner and
even give them all their resources to fight. Very open in
their fighting habits and are completely fearless. Their
valour is their Gain, as 3rd lord Shani is highly positive in
the 11th house of gain. Co-lord Rahu is highly positive in
the 7th house, of opposition and war. They look forward
to a Dual, hence always ready with a bow and arrow in
their hand. But they will never start a war, as they are not
inimical to anyone. Their treatment towards their
enemies is the same as friends.
14. Chief in the dynasty (kulamukhya): Kula = 2nd
house. Chief = 10th house, i.e., one who has the ability to
lead. 10th lord very positive in the 10th house, meaning
ingrained leadership qualities. Also strong Shani in the
2nd house can make one chief among his people.
15. Completely annihilate enemies
(naashitaaripaksha): The enemies dont stand any
chance in front of Dhanu Lagna people, as their agility
and war sense is unbeatable. Their strength is fairness
and sense of justice, which makes them extremely
tenacious and persevering in the face of war. They dont
 want anything for themselves, but for the larger good,
hence they never get discouraged with small defeats and
rise up again and again till the end. Nonetheless their
enemies are also unrelenting. Sometimes, the whole life
of Dhanu Lagna is war, so new battles come up one after
another. While 6th lord Shukra is neutral towards Guru,
Guru is inimical towards Shukra, but has the guts to host
him in his house and give protection.
16. Famous through battles
(sangraamapadashreshtha): Fame = Lagna. Lagna
symbol = Half horse and half man carrying a bow and
arrow in its hand, ready to fight. The bottom horse
portion indicate strength, agility and speed of action.
17. Master of illusion (Chhalabahula): Ketu = lord of
Illusion. Dhanu = Ketus uccha kshetra. In a war, there is
no dearth of secret war strategies that Guru employs.
That is why, in all the wars of the Devas and Asuras,
ultimately the Devas invariably win. Shukra is also
extremely clever at war, but Guru employs such strategies
that others are unheard of before.
18. Find fault among his kinsmen
(Chidrabandhuguna): This is one negative quality
of Dhanu Lagna. LAgnesha Guru is negative towards 2nd
house in Makara, as it attains neecha there. It does not
affect the wealth, it being the Karaka, but it does not
spare the family. These people can be highly critical
towards other family members, as they think that no one
can match their qualities and intellect. They need to
overcome this weakness in life.
19. Interested in fine arts
(shilpaadikarmanirata): Shilpa or Fine arts talent =
3rd house. The lord is positive in the house of gains.
Indicating, such people can gain from their talent such as
fine arts, sculpting, writing etc.
20. Mind own work (svakarmavaan): They dont
interfere in others work and are always focussed in their
own work. When they become boss, they give full
autonomy to their subordinates. 10th lord is highly
positive in the 10th house only, indicating focusing on
own job. They can never become micromanagers. They
are great motivators to their subordinates and followers.
21. Do good to his kinsmen
(bandhuvargashubhada): Family = 2nd house,
Friends and kinsmen = 11th house. 5th lord of likes and
dislikes attains Uccha in the 2nd house indicating their
love for their family. Also 2nd lord attains Uccha in the
11th house indicating, they treat family members as their
friends. Lagnesha Guru also attains Uccha in Chandras
Rasi indicating their family focus. Chandra = Family.
22. Resplendent (kaanta): Lagnesha Guru =
Resplendent, strong Aura. Agni Rasi = Strong Aura.
23. Afflicted by diseases of the body or the eyes
(badanaakshiroga):Lagnesha Neecha in 2nd house of
eyes. Also Lagnesha getting Uccha in a Dusthana
indicating that it is inviting Dusthana energy on the body
(Lagna). This can cause some deformities in the body.
24. Earn wealth through royal favours
(nrpaddhritaartha): Royal graha = Surya and
 Chandra. Blessings of Surya is there because it being the
Bhagyesha is highly positive towards the 5th house of
blessings and future. There can also be loss of income or
loss of luck due to Kings wrath as the 9th lord attains
Neecha in the 11th house.
25. Engaged in righteous acts
(sudharmarata): Dhanu = Naisargika Dharma Bhava.
9th lord and Karaka Surya prevails in the mind i.e., the
5th house, as this is a highly positive sign for the 9th lord
and Surya. Any connection between Surya and Guru for
these people can make them do many charitable activities
such as contributing for temple building, building of
educational institutions, public works etc.

Lagna #10: Makara Lagna

Key Characteristics of this Rasi
1. Makara is the naisargika Karma Bhava or the natural
10th house of the zodiac. 10th house = action,
endeavours, undertakings, achievement, success, power,
leadership, authority, king.
2. It is a Chara Rasi indicating action, drive and a kind of go
getter attitude.
3. It is a Prthvi Rasi indicating success and achievements.
Among he three Prthvi Rasis viz., Vrsha, Kanya and
Makara, Kanya and Makara are governed by the Karakas
 of the Karma Bhava Budha and Shani. The other two
Karakas of the Karma Bhava are Guru and Surya. Shani
being the governor the naisargika Karma Bhava indicate
hard work, patience and perseverance. The influence of
Chara indicate action. Thus it shows that achievement in
life can only be attained with hard work, perseverance
and action. It is a feminine Rasi indicating that one needs
to balance out the energy and drive with steadiness,
collaboration and team work.
4. Shani is also the Karaka for the Dusthanas, 6th, 8th and
12th house indicating that one needs to overcome many
hurdles in life, only then success knocks at the door.
5. Lagnesha Shani is positive in the 7th house and negative
in the Langa. 7th is the house of relationship and
partnership, trade and commerce. This indicates the
important roles these elements play in attaining success
at work. Great work can be achieved only with the right
balance between self effort and also getting support from
partners and collaborators, having right mindset of
procuring and selling things with regards to ones
endeavours.
6. The negative feature of Lagna with regards to the
Karmesha is that, one needs to shun all bodily comforts
and sacrifice mind, body and soul in the endeavour for
success. This also means that putting too much focus on
work, effort and labour can spoil the health, due to
tiredness and fatigue. If that happens, one needs to focus
on the 7th house to rejuvenate. Ones spouse,
relationship, partners and collaborators play a very
significant role in sharing ones work load, reducing
 fatigue and helping one to succeed. The saying that
behind every successful man, there is a women has a
strong Jyotish validity!
7. Mangal, the naisargika Lagnesha and Randhresha gets
Uccha in Makara, the naisargika Karma Bhava. What do
they indicate? Lagna is ones personality, intellect, social
support, identity etc. that play a very important role in
success. One can get necessary support, either because he
is very smart and intelligent, or because he is born in a
certain background that helps. For instance, it is seen
that one born to a doctor, architect, entertainer etc. take
up profession of their lineage! Thus Lagna plays a very
important part in the livelihood one choses.
8. What does the Uccha of naisargika Randhresha imply? It
implies that growth (10th= upachaya) happens when one
innovates and thinks out of the box. If one does things
the same way, there is no improvement, there is no
growth. 8th indicate breaking the norms and doing things
in a different manner.
9. Shanis friends are the Asura grahas Budha and Shukra.
For both Shanis Lagna, Shukra is a Yogakaraka, which
Budha carries mixed characteristics. Although it lords
one of the Konas, the other is a Dusthana, that makes it
of mixed nature. It gives favourable results only with
other favourable influences on it.
10. Mitra Shukra owns the 5th governing mind and the 10th
governing action, indicating that these two Bhavas will be
very positive for this native. Shukra attains Uccha in the
3rd house action and passion. Being the 5th lord of Mind
attaining Uccha in the 3rd house indicate that Action and
 Passion will prevail in mind, and there is too much
indulgence in sexual pleasures. Shukra attains Neecha in
the 9th house indicate that the native will not be attached
(5th house) towards the 9th house matters i.e., deva,
dharma, guru, pita and atithi. But these attributes will
not be completely missing as another friend Budha
governs this 9th Bhava. Perhaps this will be stronger at
childhood when Budha is very prominent.
11. Mitra Budha: Budha owns the 6th and the 9th house.
The Trishadaaya ownership corrupts it to some extent,
hence, its yoga with 10th lord Shukra is not valid. Budha
attains Uccha in the 9th house and neecha in the 3rd
house. This indicates that the father and Guru play an
important role in success in these peoples life, although
their level of respect towards them is less. Also, too much
indulgence in sexual activity (3rd house) can cause their
downfall.
12. Shatru Surya: Surya owns the 8th house of longevity
and death. It attains Uccha in the 4th house and Neecha
in the 10th house. This indicates that there is risk of
spoiling of health (8th lord Neecha) due to overwork
(10th). The health can rejuvenate with some relaxation
and comforts (4th).
13. Sama Guru: Guru and Shani are sama (neutral)
towards each other. Guru governs the 3rd and the 12th,
hence unfavourable for this Lagna. Guru attains Uccha in
the 7th house of relationship, partnership, and trade and
Neecha in the Lagna. Guru neecha in the Lagna indicate
difficulties in decision making. Being 3rd lord, its Neecha
in the Lagna indicate too much of enterprise, effort can
 spoil the health and too much of sex can spoil the
wisdom. The neecha of 12th lord in the lagna indicate
that the native will find it difficult to save as he will spend
liberally. The Uccha of the 12th lord in the 7th indicate
that the native can be successful in foreign or
international trade. The Uccha of the 3rd lord in the 7th
house indicate strong sexuality.
14. Sama Chandra: Chandra owns the 7th house and
attains Uccha in the 5th house and Neecha in the 11th
house. This indicates that the relationship, partnership
etc. (7th) will motivate the native (5th), and if the native
indulges too much in the 7th house activities, there could
be loss of income or gains (11th).
15. Shani governs the 2nd house in addition to Lagna,
indicating that the native is a family person and has
strong focus on savings.
16. This sign is synonym for tenacity indicated not only by
Lagnesha Shani, but also the symbol of Crocodile, which
when catches someone never leaves it, even its head is
chopped off!

1. Emaciated body: Lagnesha Shani has an emaciated

body, being of vayu Tattva. However, since this is a Prthvi
Tattva Rasi, there will be good muscles as well.
2. Timid: 3rd house is governed by Guru and is the Uccha
kshetra of another Shubha Graha Shukra. Too much
Shubha influence on 3rd house makes on timid.
3. Face akin to that of a deer: Rasi characteristics, a
crocodile with a deer face.
4. Troubled by windy diseases: Influence of Shani on
the Lagna. Shani is a Vayu graha. This is the Uccha
Kshetra of Mangal. The Agni of Mangal invigorates the
Vayu in the Lagna.
5. Bright and elevated nose: Rasi symbol
characteristics. of Makara Rasi
6. Not mighty: Same as #2.
7. Many sons: Chandra gets uccha in the 5th house.
Chandra is the graha for Pregnancy and motherhood.
Uccha = Son. Neecha = Daughter.
8. Hairy-bodied: Shanis influence. Shani governs over
hair.
9. Broad feet and hands: Rasi symbol characteristics.
The bottom part is that of a Crocodile.
10. Devoid of good conduct and virtues: The Gunas
and talent come from the 3rd house. The 9th lord of
Bhagya or destiny, Budha is neecha in the 3rd house.
11. Tormented by thirst (or morbid heat): The Rasi is
very dry being governed by Vayu Graha Shani and is the
Uccha kshetra for Agni Graha Mangal.
12. Liked by women: The Karaka Shukra attains is
friendly towards the Lagnesha Shani and attains Uccha in
the house of sexuality, the 3rd house.
13. Wander in hills and forests: Strong influence of
Vayu and Agni Tattva, that cause movement. It is also a
Chara Rasi indicating movement. The Rasi governs over
swamps.
14. Valorous: How can a timid person be valorous? There
is a contradiction here. The valour comes from Uccha of
the god of war Mangal in the Lagna. When they are
pushed to a war, they become highly tenacious (like a
crocodile).
15. Knowledge of Shastras, Vedas, fine-arts, music
and musical instruments: The Uccha of the 9th lord
in the 9th house indicate this. Budha governs over all the
knowledge that are mentioned here i.e., Shastras, Vedas,
fine-arts, music and musical instruments etc.
16. Little strength: Strength is seen from Lagna. 3rd lord
of enterprise Guru attains Neecha in the Lagna,
indicating lack of strength.
17. Householder: Shani is also the ruler of the 2nd house
of family, indicating that the native is highly focused
towards the well-being of the family.
18. Hostile, wicked and ill-disposed towards
relatives: 5th lord Shukra attains Neecha in the 9th
house of deva, guru, brahmin, pita (father) and Atithi
(guests).
19. Splendorous: The splendour is given by Uccha of
Lagnesha in the Rasi of Shukra, the most beautiful graha
in the zodiac. It is also the 10th house indicating natural
leadership qualities.
20. Wicked wife: Chandra governing spouse is not
favourable towards the Lagna. It gets neecha in the house
of gain, indicating wife is one of the sources of loss of
income or gain.
21. Not be a talebearer: The 8th house is governed by
Sattvik graha Surya, who attains Uccha in the Bhava
governing heart, the 4th house. Surya also being a
dignified graha (same as Guru) does not believe in
backbiting.
22. Wealthy: 2nd lord of Dhana attaining Uccha in the
governor of the Artha Trikona, the 10th house, that is
governed by Shukra, representing the goddess of wealth,
Lakshmi Mata.
23. Virtuous: #10 states one devoid of good conduct and
virtues. How can the person still be virtuous? This
indicating indulging in religious or righteous activities
indicated by the 9th lord Uccha in the 9th house. But
there is contradiction in life as 5th and 10th lord attain
 Neecha in the 9th house indicating that the native will
walk away from his own Dharma.
24. Serve the king: King = 10th house. Lagnesha Shani
attains Uccha in the 10th house.
25. Very liberal: Neecha of the 12th lord in the Lagna

much, thus causing troubles in savings.
26. Happy and fortunate: Happy because of lord of 4th
governing happiness attains Uccha in the lagna.
Fortunate because the lord of fortune, 9th lord Budha
attains uccha in the house of fortune. The 2nd, 5th and
the 9th lords are also good friends supporting each other.

Lagna #11: Kumbha Lagna

Key Characteristics of this Rasi
1. Kumbha is perhaps the most philosophical Rasi in the
horoscope as it governed by Shani and Rahu who give us
the knowledge of realm beyond the mortal realm. Shani is
linked to birth and death, while Rahu governs the
boundaries, beyond which nothing is usually known.
2. On the other hand Kumbha is also the natural Badhaka
Rasi, i.e., one that put obstacles in the free flow of time,
thus causing knots. equivalent to vortex in rivers and
cyclones in air. So evidently this Rasi helps us connect to
 the realm of the spirits, which is always dangerous and
risk prone.
3. Kumbha governs over the world of disembodied spirits
and ghosts. It is the region where the spirits remain until
they are either given moksha or another life in the mortal
plane.
4. It is a Sthira Rasi, and no graha either gets Uccha or
Neecha here. This is one of the two Rasis where Grahas
dont attain any dignity. The other being the Simha Rasi.
Sthira imply stability, but it can also imply creating a dam
in the flow of river, thus causing extremes i.e., huge water
on one side and no water on the other side of the River.
When something is stopped from its movement, its
potential energy increases manyfold, which also increases
the risk of rupture and great calamity. In the universe, it
is not natural for things to be devoid of motion.
5. It is a Vayu Rasi, the other being Mithuna and Tula.
However, unlike Mithuna which is dvisvabhava, and Tula
which is Chara, the Vayu in Kumbha is sthira. Vayu is
prana, or one that keeps on alive through the breathing.
Shani governs over the Vayu Tattva, hence this Rasi is
unique in that respect. Pranayama which helps in stilling
the breath can help in increasing our body stamina,
longevity and even take us to the state of Samadhi, which
the state of extreme stillness and bliss. Yama means to
put under restrain, while Pranayama means restraining
the Prana.
6. Surya governs over the heart, while Kumbha is also called
Hrdroga meaning Heart diseases. This is where the heart
stops beating, the breathe stops flowing, the blood stops
 flowing and we are connected to the spirit world. This is
the step we need to cross to reach Meena Rasi, the
liberated world, the world the munis and the rishis, the
spiritual realms.
7. Lagnesha Shani gets Uccha in the 9th house of Dharma
and Neecha in the 3rd house of Parakrama. This indicates
that the natives of this Lagna are highly prone to
righteous acts, charitable acts, worshipping of the Devas
and Gurus and honouring the Brahmins. Great
philosophers are born when Lagna or Chandra occupy
the Kumbha Rasi. They shy away from showing their
valour and are inclined towards great achievements and
enterprise in life as the Lagna lord is negative towards the
3rd house. They are usually happy remaining in their own
small world, engaged in spiritual practices.
8. Co-lord Rahu attains Uccha in the 5th house, the mantra
Bhava and neecha in the 11th house of gains. Hence, they
are not driven by gains, but focus within their own self
(5th house). They also plan for their future, i.e., the future
after death, as it is Rahu who gets Uccha in the 5th house
of mind. Rahu indicate the realm beyond this mortal
plane. This also gives them good psychic power.
9. Shanis Mitra are Budha and Shukra, while its Shatru is
Surya. Shani is inimical towards Chandra and Mangal,
but both of them are neutral towards him. Shani and
Guru are mutual neutrals. Lets see the Bhavas governed
by their Mitra and Shatru.
10. Mitra Shukra govern the 4th (Sukha) and Dharma (9th).
There is dichotomy in their life, indicating shifting
between two poles. On one side Shukra gets Uccha in the
 2nd house indicating great wealth, but it also shows
renunciation and detachment from the material wealth,
when they take up the path of sadhana. So it is possible to
find two kinds of people, one who is materially successful
and also those who are spiritually successful and
completely detached from this material life. Too much of
focus on the 8th (sadhana) weakens Shukra (bhagya and
sukha) while too much of focus on 2nd (family and
household) strengths Shukra (bhagya and sukha).
11. Mitra Budha governs the 5th (Mantra) and Randhra
(8th). The nature of these people can summed up this
contradiction of houses governed by Budha. This indicate
that the people of this Lagna are mystical minded (joint
influence of 5th and 8th) and are detached from the
material happiness. They are naturally inclined towards
taking up spiritual penances, unless Budha is weak and
Shukra takes control of the situation. Budha when strong
will promote 8th house (spiritual penance) and demote
2nd house (wealth and family). They even take up Mauna
Vrata or the vow of silence (Budha-speech, 8th= spiritual
penance)
12. Shatru Surya governs the 7th (Dara). Surya when strong
does not promote Bhagya but promote parakrama. This
makes the native valorous and successful in trade and
commerce, but can give a irritable and base wife or
relationship. This can certainly change depending on
there graha yogas in the horoscope. But it is highly likely
that people of this lagna does not consider marriage and
relationship as aim of their life.
13. Sama Chandra governs the 6th (Shatru). Chandra is
mind which rules the 6th house indicating that there is an
element of irritation or hatred they harbour for others
(Chandra = society). Chandra also indicate labour being
the 6th lord. Chandra is positive towards the 4th house of
home and negative towards the 10th house. When the
native focuses too much of power to dominate over others
(6th), the 10th house of success diminishes and instead
there is too much of negativity (6th) in the heart or at
home (4th).
14. Sama Mangal governs the 3rd (Parakrama) and 10th
(Karma). Mangal promotes the Vyaya Bhava and
diminishes the Shatru Bhava. If these natives are not in
the path of Sadhana, they should put all their focus on
creativity and enterprise (3rd) as well as work,
undertakings and various righteous endeavour (10th).
Also, instead of focusing on marriage and relationship,
they should focus on righteous activities, worship of
devas and Brahmanas etc. (9th). Focusing on Karma will
slowly lead them to liberation (12th); similarly focusing
on the dharma will give them success in wealth and
family (2nd).
15. Sama Guru governs the 2nd (Dhana) and the 11th
(Labha). Guru is a key planet for the matters of wealth as
it rules two bhavas linked to Dhana. Guru strengthens
Shatru and diminishes Vyaya. Hence, it is best not to
harbour too much on the prospects of wealth and keep
doing ones dharma and the wealth will follow
automatically. Too much focus on the wealth also will
increase enmity, obstacles etc. and affect the health.

acquires great wealth, suffer penury, (16) Talebearer,
crafty, (17) Honour elders. (18) At birth Aquarius is not an
auspicious Ascendant for ever, according to Satyacharya.
Yavanas go a step further, stating, that even Aquarius
Vargas are not auspicious, while Chanakya does not
consider such divisions inauspicious.

1. Indulge in mean acts: The Lagnesha are Shani and

Rahu, both are Krura grahas, of the Asura group.
Depending on the other yogas in the horoscope, either
they are involved in mean acts, or subjected to mean acts,
or even help people who are subjected to mean acts. All
depends on the strength of the 4th house (heart) and the
9th house (duties) in addition to the strength of Lagnesha
(intellect and outlook).
2. Chief among the men of his race: Race, clan and
dynasties are governed by the Lagna and the 2nd house.
Lagna represent the social background to which one
belongs, while the 2nd house represent ones own family
and lineage. Where is this persons Bhagya (destiny)?
Where the 9th lord is positive, the 2nd house where
Shukra attains Uccha.
3. Foolish: This does not mean lack of intellect, but this
indicate a sense of conducting oneself depending on the
time and occasion; the dressing sense, adapting ones
speech etc. These people are very straight forward and
dont hesitate to call a spade, a spade. They dont have a
keen dressing sense; actually they dont care. They are too
much engrossed in their own world.
4. Blown and sharp nose: Characteristics of the Rasi.
The pitcher full of water, indicating influence of water.
Nose = Chandra. Also indicate Pranayama, which is
about inhaling and exhaling the prana vayu.
5. Base: Only when the Lagnesha is weak, else not.
6. Irascible, harsh, agitated: Bad temper comes from
the 8th house. 8th lord is Budha, hence the graha that
should give one non-violence is asked to govern the 8th
house. Then who is going to calm him down? 8th lord
also owns the Mantra Bhava i.e., Mind, that makes this
people easily irritated. But this only happens when the
8th lord is weak and afflicted.
7. Indolent: Both Shani and Rahu are naturally lethargic.
People of this Lagna needs the power of Mangal or Surya
in the 10th house, in Dikbala, to really get charged up.
8. Inclined to enmity: Where the lord of the enemies, 6th
lord Chandra is negative? It is negative in the 4th house,
of home and happiness. Getting happiness at home is
challenging for these people, as they have some or other
skirmishes at home.
9. Dissatisfied: Satisfaction comes from teh strength of
the lagna and the 5th house. Negative influences to these
 two Bhavas can cause dissatisfaction. Both these Bhavas
have strong nodal influence for this Lagna, causing them
dissatisfied. Hence, they look towards meditation and
sadhana to get over this.
10. Fond of gambling: This is due to the strong 8th
house. The lord of gambling is positive towards which
house? The 8th house, as Budha, the 8th lord attains
Uccha in the 8th house. This also means that these
people have strong mystic mind due to the strength of the
8th house. They love topics of mysticism, yogas,
spirituality etc., and may have a detached mind. On a
positive note, they are the greatest risk takers. They dont
mind getting into completely uncertain and dark
situation.
11. Base females: Where is the 7th lord Surya negative?
The Bhagya Bhava. So What is given in their Bhagya? Ill
tempered females! In actual horoscopes, this may or may
not be true depending on the actual disposition of Surya
and Shukra. But it is highly likely that these people, may
not have a happy love and relationship life, more due to
their detached mindset.
12. Not helpful to relatives, face loss of
relatives: The weakness of the 2nd house lies in the 12th
house. When they get more and more involved with the
12th house activities, such as meditation and sadhana,
pilgrimages etc., they get more and more detached from
the family. Also when they focus more on the 8th house
i.e., pranayama, yoga, renunciation etc., they also get
alienated from the 2nd house, as 8th lord Budha attains
Neecha in the 2nd house.
13. Prohibited in social circles, not agreeable: This is
because of their eccentric and out of normal thinking.
These people are visionary, thanks to Shani and Rahu,
but what they think is not something that can be
understood by other normal mortals. Hence, they get
alienated from their social circles. People are simply not
able to connect to these people as their wavelengths are
very different.
14. Checkered prosperity: 10th house is governed by
Mangal, which is excellent. But where Mangal would put
all his energy? In the 12th house of loss. So what kind of
success it will given in life? It will give success in making
the native lose everything, become free from material
bondage and become and excellent Sadhaka.
Nonetheless, due to the focus on the 12th house, these
people can attain success outside their homeland and in
industry such as hospitals, healing, medicine and
ayurveda etc. They see many ups and downs in life with
regards to general success and prosperity in life.
15. Acquire great wealth, suffer penury: How come a
person who acquires great wealth suffer penury? This
appears to be contradictory unless we know whats
happening. Who is giving wealth for this native? The 9th
house, the lord of fortune himself. 9th lord Uccha in the
2nd house of Dhana indicate blessings of Lakshmi Mata.
But yet the native suffers penury, why, because the 5th
lord is focusing all its attention towards the 8th house,
indicating detachment from material success. Thus
outwardly these people may amass great wealth but
inwardly, they are in a state of rejection, detachment and
renunciation. They embody the state of mind that
 happens just before moksha (Meena Rasi) i.e., giving up
all material possessions:
16. Talebearer, crafty: This happens as a side effect
when the 8th house is very strong in a horoscope.
However, this does not manifest for all, as the Lagna and
the Dharma needs to be weak, for the 8th house to take
control. So, this can be seen only in horoscopes where the
Lagnesha and Bhagyesha are weak or their Bhavas are
weak. But if the said Bhavas are fortified, the native is a
great Sadhaka.
17. Honour elders: The Deva, Guru and Brahmana are
governed by the 9th house. Who is very positive towards
them in this horoscope? The Lagnesha itself! Indicating
that the native of this lagna have great reverence for the
spiritual teachers, gurus, priests and any person of great
learning. Tey will certainly honour and felicitate them. It
is in their blood. But of course, for the positive things to
manifest, the Lagna and the Dharma Bhava need to be
strong.
18. General opinion: Among the Jyotish savants, there
are differences in opinions pertaining to this Lagna.
According to Satyacharya this is not an auspicious Lagna
for anyone or anything. Yavanas go a step further and
state that even the Vargas of Kumbha are not auspicious.
But Chanakya does not agree to the Yavanas and he does
not consider the Vargas to be inauspicious. In my humble
opinion, here the savants are arguing over how much
material success this Lagna can bring, which quite the
reverse for Spiritual success. In my view, this Lagna
 promotes great spiritual success, but through much
material challenges.

Lagna #12: Meena Lagna

Key Characteristics of this Rasi
1. Meena is the last Rasi in the zodiac indicating the end
state, liberation, freedom from the cycle of birth and
death.
2. It is a Jala tattva Rasi and signify a boundless ocean. It is
governed by Guru who represents expansive and
boundless mindset. Gurus tattva is Akasha which is
omnipresent. Akasha Tattva serves us the binding agent
for all the Tattvas. It governs how different Tattvas
interact with each other.
3. It is a Dvisvabhava Rasi indicating Balance. The other
two Jala Rasi being Karka indicating flow of river and
Vrschika indicating stagnation of water in a well. Meena
represent a ocean which is neither flowing nor still, but
moving with a controlled pace, as it does not to go and
meet into someone, like a river.
4. Being governed by Guru, the preceptor of the gods and
being a Brahminical Rasi, this Rasi is suitable for all
priestly activities such as deva-aradhana (worshipping
gods), learning Vedas or other spiritual scriptures,
teaching and preaching.
5. Meena is the uccha kshetra of Shukra, the planet of
knowledge, beauty, relationship, romance and sexual
passion. These matters prominently appear in the lives of
these people.
6. Lagnesha Guru attains Uccha in the 5th house of
knowledge, hence when the Lagna and / or lagnesha is
strong, learning, knowledge, children, disciples, future
planning, advises and consulting appear very
prominently in these peoples life.
7. Lagnesha Guru attains Neecha in the Labha Bhava, so
when the Lagna and the Lagnesha are weak, the financial
prospects of these native are badly hit. This can also
happen when the Dasa of a graha that is inimical to the
Lagnesha is in progress or a Bad transit is happening on
the Lagna or the Lagnesha. We need to watch out for
factors that are conferring strengths or weakness to the
Bhava or Bhavesha in Dasa and gochara.
8. Among Gurus Mitra and Shatru, Surya, Chandra, Mangal
are Gurus friends. Among the Shatru, Guru is inimical
towards Shukra but Shukra is neutral towards Guru.
Guru is inimical towards Budha while Budha is neutral to
Guru. Guru and Shani are neutral towards each other.
9. Mitra Surya governs the 6th house, indicating that it can
support the positive attributes of the 6th house i.e.,
labour, celibacy, sharp intellect etc. When Surya is strong
it supports the 2nd house i.e., wealth and family. While it
is weak, it harms the 8th house i.e., causing health,
obstacles and sudden dangers its life.
10. Mitra Chandra governs the 5th house and is the best
supporter of Lagnesha being its Uccha-Stanadhipati.
When Chandra is strong, it supports the 3rd house of
siblings and enterprise. while it is weak, it damages the
9th house causing tremendous bad luck and misfortune.
11. Mitra Mangal is a very key planet for this horoscope as
it governs the 11th house is positive towards the 11th
house of gains. When it is strong and favourable, it is
capable of giving great fortune and gains. While when it
is weak, aflicted and unfavourable, it can cause troubles
to the mind (5th), causing restlessness and anxiety.
12. Sama Budha is unfavourable towards the lagna as it gets
neecha there, but favourable towards the 7th house which
it owns and also attains Uccha. Budha also owns the 4th
house of mother, comforts, luxuries, vehicles and
properties. When it is strong it promotes good
partnership, business, trade and commerce. However,
when weak, it can cause ill health, especially skin troubles
and waterborne troubles.
13. Sama Shukra is favourable towards the Lagna, hence is
only neutral towards the Lagna, but Lagnesha is inimical
towards Shukra. Shukra owns the 3rd and 8th house,
hence highly unfavourable graha. However, when strong
it becomes favourable towards the native granting
sudden gains and long lifespan. However, when weak, it
becomes highly unfavourable and hits the 7th house of
marriage, relationship, trade and commerce.
14. Sama Shani owns the Labha as well as Vyaya, hence is
of mixed nature. When it is strong it can improve gains
and when weak it can cause uncontrolled expenditure.
 Shani attains uccha in 8th house and neecha in the 2nd
house. So when Shani is strong and favourable, it can
improve longevity as well give access to hidden
knowledge of the 8th house. However, when weak, it can
seriously hit the family and wealth and its ability to hit is
very strong as Lagnesha gets Neecha in Shanis Rasi,
hence Shani also holds the key to Gurus strength.

Results of Birth in this Lagna

Saravali 48.4649. Meena Lagna. (1) Fortunate, (2)
Well blown nose but not wide open eyes, exposed lips and
teeth, afflicted face, (3) Interested in profound knowledge
and poetry, knowledge of Vedas, knowledge of music and
sexual union, (4) Respectable, (5) Famous, (6) Tormented
by leprosy, (7) Courteous, gentle, pure conduct, modest, (8)
Virtuous, Charitable, (9) Trustworthy, (10) Endowed with
goats, (11) Courageous, mighty, (12) More daughters, (13)
Gain through brothers, (14) Good relatives.

1. Fortunate: Good fortune comes from the 9th house

which is governed by Mangal. Mangal is very strong in
the 11th house of gains. Indicating that the bhagya of
people belonging to this lagna shines in the form of many
gains and prosperity in life.
2. Well blown nose but not wide open eyes, exposed
lips and teeth, afflicted face: The Rasi symbol is two
fishes one facing up and up facing down. This indicate a
cycle, something that repeats time and again. The
characteristics of this lagna is taken from its symbol. The
afflicted face is due to negative influence of Shani on the
 2nd house representing face. But this depends on how
active Shani is in the horoscope, and its overall influence
on the native. if Shani is positive in the horoscope, it will
promote its positive indications i.e., those pertaining to
the 8th house, however, if Shani is negative its horoscope,
it will fuel the negative indications i.e., damage the face.
So one needs to look at the disposition of Shani in the
horoscope. The exposed lips and teeth is a indication of
influence of nodes. Meena is Ketus mulatrikona rasi,
hence there is significant Ketus influence on the lagna.
3. Interested in profound knowledge and poetry,
knowledge of Vedas, knowledge of music and
sexual union: The interests, likes and dislikes are
judged from the 5th house, as 5th house represent the
mind, hence its called the mantra bhava. The 5th is
governed by Chandra, having positive influence of Guru
and negative influence of Mangal. Chandra indicate love,
romance, sexual union, music, poetry. Their nature is soft
and devoid of rough edges, and their tastes are refined.
This is where human beings are destined to reach after
long period of evolution. The knowledge of the Vedas and
other profound knowledge comes from the positive
influence of Guru. When Mangal is negative in the
horoscope, it can make the person highly irritable and
vengeful, due to the negative influences of Mangal. The
profound knowledge is also indicated by the positive
influence of Shukra on the Lagna. Here Shukra is the 8th
lord of deep knowledge.
4. Respectable: The respect and honour comes from the
Lagna which represents ones name and identity. Who
are bestowing honour upon the native? The graha that
 attains uccha in the Lagna. It is none other than 3rd and
8th from Shukra. So Shukra need to be strong and
favourable in the horoscope for conferring respect and
honour on the native. Shukra in Uccha, Sva, Mulatrikona
Bhava, in Kendra, Kona or Labha will promote its
positive indications including respect to the native. But
being a unfavourable graha for the native, this will come
with a cost, as Shukra will damage some indications of
the Bhava it occupies or aspects.
5. Famous: Lagna is the seat of fame and the grahas
connected with fame are Surya, Chandra and Guru, all
three being endowed with Sattva Guna. Meena Lagna
people are naturally noticed in any assembly, unless
Lagnesha Guru is very weak. The strength of Lagnesha
and occupation of Surya and Chandra in good places viz.,
Kendra, Kona, Labha, coinciding with its Sva,
Mulatrikona or Uccha Rasi can bestow upon the native
great fame.
6. Tormented by leprosy: Budha governs the skin, hence
is to be afflicted for leprosy. In addition to Budha, there
are other grahas linked to it such as Mangal causing
affliction to Budha. Chandra, the karaka for Jala tattva is
also afflicted. The graha causing affliction could be Shani,
Rahu or Ketu. Thus there are multiple factors at play for a
person to suffer from leprosy. One needs to study
numerous yogas giving rise to this disease. But native of
this lagna has a natural propensity to contact this disease
more than others. Why? Because the karaka for skin,
Budha is negative towards Lagna. Hence, if Budha is
afflicted in the horoscope, then this Lagna people are
easily impacted.
7. Courteous, gentle, pure conduct, modest: These
people are the most refined people in the zodiac. Why?
Because if each rasi starting from Mesha are taken as
evolution of the consciousness, then Meena being the last
Rasi of the zodiac represent the state where the
consciousness is fully evolved. This is also the Rasi of
Rishis and Munis, giving it is a exalted nature. Shukra,
the graha for beauty and refinedness gets uccha in this
Rasi also indicate the refined tastes of the native.
8. Virtuous, Charitable: Virtues and talent comes from
the 3rd house. The 3rd house is lorded by Shukra, who
gives very positive results in the Lagna indicating talent.
The charity is governed by the 9th house whose lord
Mangal is very positive towards the 11th house of gains.
So, these people have a strong sense of abundance,
whether or not they have things in actual abundance. So,
they are charitable even when they are themselves
deprived of resources. Also, 12th house being the natural
Vyaya bhava, it is natural to expect that these people are
not inclined to hoard resources.
9. Trustworthy: The graha for trustworthiness or
innocence is Budha. Budha also governs the Bhava
representing heart (4th house) and it is very positive
towards the 7th house of relationship. So there is no
doubt that these people can make good trustworthy
friends, unless Budha is weak, afflicted and unfavourable.
10. Endowed with goats: Mesha is the Dhana Bhava
representing Goats. This talks about the principle that the
nature of a persons wealth can be gleamed from the Rasi
placed in the 2nd house, as well as graha occupying it or
 aspecting it. Similarly, one should judge the Rasis and
Bhavas occupied and aspected by the 2nd lord as well as
grahas conjoined with or aspected by the 2nd lord. In
todays world it is less likely to find someone endowed
with goats, however, it is still possible to find some
connection of the wealth of the native to the symbols of
Mesha i.e., say wealth management agency of this native
can have in their name Mesha, Aries, Arian, Goat, Sheep.
Or they may deal with commodities linked to Goat and
Sheep. Or they may be set up in a mountainous terrains
etc. One should have an open mind to see the pay of these
symbols in a persons life.
11. Courageous, mighty: The 3rd house of courage is
owned by Shukra who is highly positive towards the
Lagna. In addition, the god of war Mangal rules the house
of destiny, indicating that when these natives are pushed
to the corner, their support coming from divine blessings
can take the form of Mangal supporting them. Thus, their
real valour and might can be seen when they are
challenged. Else, they are peace loving people indicated
by their Mana governed by Chandra in the 5th Bhava and
it is where the graha of Peace, Guru is very positive.
12. More daughters: The more daughters are indicated
by Karka falling in the5th house. Karka usually gives rise
to many children and mostly daughters. Why? Because
Karka is a feminine Rasi and is governed by a feminine
graha and karaka for motherhood, meaning that the
children will grow up to become mothers. It is where the
karaka for masculinity Mangal gets Neecha.
13. Gain through brothers: Brothers are governed by
the 3rd and the 11th houses. The two Kona lords Chandra
and Mangal are highly positive towards the 3rd and the
11th houses respectively. This indicate that the blessings
of Lakshmi Mata as seen from the Kona Bhavas can also
flow through the 3rd and 11th houses. Thus for this lagna,
both the yonder and elder brothers become very
important in their life. They receive great support from
them at the time of their need.
14. Good relatives: 4th house is the Bandhu Bhava while
2nd house is the Kutumba Bhava indicating relatives and
family. The 4th lord are highly supportive of the 7th
Bhava i.e., relationships trade and commerce,
partnerships etc. On the other hand the 2nd lord Mangal
is highly supportive in their pursuit of gains. So who will
not say that their relatives and family members are good
when they get support in life in their matter of finances
and gains?
