6 Effects of Venus in the Twelve Houses
Venus in the First House
Sutras 1-13-If Venus is in the first house (ascendant) the native will be proficient in mathematics and lor.glived. He will be loved by his wife, fond of ornaments, good dresses and beauty. He will be liked by women, will be wealthy and learned. If Venus is in conjunction with a benefic, the native will have a lustrous body shining like gold and will own many ornaments. If Venus is associated with of aspected by a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation (Virgo), the native will be a thief and a cheat and will suffer from rheumatic and phlegmatic diseases. If the lord of the first is associated with Rahu the native will suffer from hydrocele. If Venus is in the ascendant and the fourth house is occupied by a benefic, the native will own elephants (conveyances) and enjoy high prosperity. If Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga (great name, fame and wealth). If Venus is lord of the 8th, 6th or 12th.house or is weak, the native will have two wives, his fortune will be fluctuating and he will be hard hearted.
Comments-The effects given in the above Sutras are logical and relevant to the significations of Venus and the first house. In Sutra llth it is inter alia stated that if Venus is lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from evil effects mentioned therein. While such effects may be realised if Venus is in the ascendant as lord of the 12th house, it will not be so if he is lord of the 8th or 6th. When he will be lord of the 8th or 6th house he will be in the first house, in his own sign Libra or Taurus and the effects of his being in his own sign will prevail over the effects of the 8th or 6th house as already accepted by the learned author in Sutra 10th where it is said that if Venus is in his own sign (Taurus or Libra) the native will enjoy Maharaja yoga. For Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus is a yoga karaka planet, being lord of 2nd and 9th houses, lord of 5th and 10th-houses, and lord of 4th and 9th houses, respectively. Such Venus in the ascendant will prove immensely beneficial to the native and bring him, name, fame, wealth, conveyances and all worldly comforts. If Venus in the ascendant (Lagna Kendra) is in his sign (Taurus or Libra) or in his sign of exaltation, Malavya yoga (a Panch Mahapurusha yoga) will be formed, the effects of which have been given as under:-"The person will have a well developed physique, will be strong minded, wealthy, happy with children and wife, will command vehicles, endowed with clean sense organs and be renowned and learned." 
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be skilled in amorous sports (love affairs) and will be happy.
Phaldeepika-The native will have an attractive body, charming eyes and will be happy and long lived.
Saravali-The native will be handsome in every respect, happy and long-lived. He will be liked by women.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will have an attractive body and will like the company of noble persons. He will be suitable for the company of beautiful women. He will perform pious deeds and will enjoy high class comforts.
Note-All the above authorities agree that Venus would be good in the first house but Bhrigu Sutras arriving at the same conclusion have dealt with the effects in more detail and much more appropriately after keeping the significations of Venus and the first house in view.
Venus in the Second House
Sutras 14-19-The native will be wealthy, will have a family, will get good food to eat, will have attractive eyes and will be of humble nature, kind hearted and helpful to others. He will get a beautiful wife in his 32nd year. If the lord of the second is weak or in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native will suffer from eye troubles. If Venus is associated with Moon (while the lord of the 2nd is in 6th, 8th or 12th), the native will suffer from night blindness, without any family and sufferer of eye troubles and will squander away his wealth.
Comments-We have no comments on the effects given in the above Sutras which are logical and relevant to the significations of the second house. The effects given in Sutra 19 are worth verifying by practical experience. Venus will give still better results if he is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, in the second house. When Venus is in Taurus, the ascendant will be Aries and he will be in the 2nd, as lord of 7th and 2nd houses. If he is in Libra, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 2nd as lord of 9th and the 2nd houses. When Venus is in Pisces (sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Aquarius and he will be in the 2nd exalted as lord of the 4th and 9th houses. These are all very powerful Dhana yogas.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will be eloquent or sweet tongued.
Phaldeepika-The native will acquire wealth from many sources and will be a poet.
Saravali-The native will be very wealthy, humble in his speech and will enjoy good food and drinks, will be full of glory and will enjoy high class luxuries (including company of women).
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be sweet tongued and intelligent. He will have good appearance and decent dresses. He will be fond of beautiful women.
Note-There is a consensus amongst all the above authorities that Venus is very beneficial in the second house but the situations in which Venus could give evil effects as mentioned in Bhrigu Sutras should be kept in view.
Venus in the Third House
Sutras 20-22-If Venus is in the third house, the native will be very miser, he will be tolerant, there will be a good number of brothers and the native will have success by his determined efforts. Later on, the number of brothers will decrease. In successive order the native's brothers will have less and less of financial gains by their efforts. If the lord of the third house is strong, is in his own or in his sign of exaltation, there will be increase in the number of brothers. If the lord of the third house is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or he is associated with malefics there will be loss of brothers.
Comments-In Sutra 20 it is stated that there will be growth in the number of brothers and also that is decrease in the number of brothers or deprivation of brothers. This statement is not clear because Venus as a benefic should cause only increase and not decrease of brothers. Further Venus being feminine should give more sisters than brothers. The learned author has not talked of sisters while giving the effects of third house.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be stingy.
Phaldeepika-The native will be miser, not liked by people, without happiness and wealth and also without wife.
Saravali-The native will be miser, happy and wealthy wife will dominate over the native, he will not be courageous and will be unfortunate.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will not like women. He will not lose his brothers and sisters. He will have children but will not be happy in regard to them. He will not be courageous.
Note-All the above authorities have given different effects of Venus in the third house. Saravali says that the native will be happy and will be wealthy but he will be unfortunate. If we closely examine these views we will come to the conclusion that Venus has not been considered good in the third house. We, however, think that if Virgo or Aquarius is the ascendant, Venus will be lord of the 9th house. Venus in the third house will aspect the 9th house (his own house) and will improve the significations of that house, making the native prosperous.
Venus in the Fourth House
Sutras 23-28-If Venus is in the fourth house, the native will be handsome, intelligent, will have happiness from brothers, will be happy and of forgivable nature. In his 30th year he will possess conveyances pulled by horses. He will also have abundance of milk. If the lord of the fourth house is strong the native will possess horses, palanquins and gold etc. If the lord of the fourth house, is associated with a malefic, is in the house of a malefic or his enemy or is debilitated or is otherwise weak, the native will be without lands or conveyances. His mother will be in distress and he will have illicit relations with women other than his wife.
Comments-According to above Sutras the placement of Venus in the fourth will be beneficial to the native in regard to the significations of the fourth house and more so if the lord of the fourth is well placed. Sutra 23 talks of happiness from brothers if Venus is in the fourth. This is not relevant to the significations of Venus or the fourth house. It will be noted that no mention has been made in the above Sutras of the effects of Venus when he is in own sign or his sign of exaltation. In the fourth house Venus will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter. It is not clear how a benefic like Venus in the 4th can give distress to mother. The placement of Venus for Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants will prove very beneficial as Venus will be in
the fourth as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th and the 4th and 9th respectively. These dispositions will give rise to powerful Dhana yogas.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be happy.
Phaldeepika-The native will possess a good conveyance, good house, ornaments, dresses and articles of perfumery.
Saravali-The native will have happiness from relations and friends, will possess conveyance and house and will be handsome and generous.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be superior to others. He will get many gifts from his followers. He will look after his mother from his early life.
Note-All the above authorities have attributed good effects to Venus in the fourth house but in their own way. But none of them has attempted to cover all the significations of the fourth house.
Venus in the Fifth House
Sutras 29-33-The native will be full of wisdom and will be a minister or commander of the army. He will have the good luck of seeing his grand mother alive, will have a young wife and also children. He will be respected and honoured by Government, will be a clever minister and his wife will be full of happiness. If Venus is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic or in his sign of debilitation, the native will be dull headed and will remain in want of children. If Venus is associated with a benefic or is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will be very wise, will be versed in worldly affairs and will have children and conveyances.
Comments-According to above Sutras, Venus will give very beneficial effects if in the 5th house in accordance with the significations of that house. For Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus will prove still more beneficial as Venus is a yogakarka for these ascendants and fifth is a very auspicious house for any planet to be placed in. Our view is that Venus being a female planet will give more daughters than sons.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be intelligent.
Phaldeepika-The native will be wealthy and honoured like a king. He will have happiness from children and will be very intelligent.
Saravali-The native will be happy, will have children and friends. He will be fond of enjoyments and very wealthy. He will be a minister or a judge.
" Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will have children but will not get happiness from them. He will not be courageous but will get success in his undertakings by hard work. He will be educated but will be incapable of being a poet.
Note-All the above authorities except Chamatkar Chintamani are agreed that Venus in the fifth gives good results. Brihat Jataka as usual does not cover all the significations of the house and it is difficult to understand the logic behind the views of Chamatkar Chintamani.
Venus in he Sixth House
Sutras 34-36-If Venus is in the sixth house, the native will have good number of relations, there will be destruction of enemies and the native will have children and grand children. He will incur wasteful expenditure, will be deceitful and will suffer from diseases. If the lord of the sixth house is strong there will be increase in the number of relations and enemies. If the lord of the sixth is associated with a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation or is associated with Moon, there will be loss of relations and destruction of enemies.
Comments-We have been greatly impressed by the views of the Bhrigu Sutras and the principles contained in it but some of the Sutras are very confusing. This may be due to the fact that some incompetent people who could not perhaps trace some parts of the original script have filled in those portions with text of their own without going into the relevancy or logic of what they were writing. It is stated in Sutra 34 that if Venus is in the sixth house the native amongst other things will have children and grand children. Neither the sixth house nor the Venus is a significator for children and grand children. According to Sutra 36 which is very logical if the lord of the sixth is strong, there will be increase in the number of enemies. If he is weak there will be destruction of enemies. The logic behind this is that if the sixth house gets strength, there will be more enemies and diseases and if the sixth house is weak there will be no diseases and no enemies.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will be without enemies.
Phaldeepika-The native will be without enemies but he will be poor and unhappy. He will have contacts with several women.
Saravali-The native will have bitterness towards his wife. He will have many enemies, will be in distress and of mean mentality.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will have dangerous enemies. He will incur lot of expenditure. He will be unsuccessful in all his efforts. He will be deprived of happiness from father, preceptor etc.
Note-Brihat Jataka and Phaldeepika agree with the views expressed by Bhrigu Sutras in regard to enemies but Saravali and Chamatkar Chintamani are opposed to them. The views of Brihat Jataka and Phaldeepika should be considered more authoritative.
Venus in the Seventh House
Sutras 37-44-If Venus is in the seventh house, the native will be fond of kissing on the mouth and will be highly sexed. He will be wealthy and will take interest in women other than his wife. He will possess conveyances, will be efficient in his work, will play foul with women and will have a family consisting of brothers and wife etc. If Venus is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic or in his sign of debilitation (Virgo) there will be loss of his wife but he will marry again. If there are many malefics with Venus, the native will have to marry many times on account of successive loss of his wives. In this situation the native will have no children. If Venus is associated with a benefic or in his own or in his sign of exaltation (Pisces) the native will become very wealthy on account of gift of wealth by his in-laws. He will be very influential with the help of his wife and will be surrounded by women.
Comments-Venus is a planet of emotion, passion and love. These are the significations of the 7th house also. When Venus is in the 7th, the native becomes highly sexed and has therefore many love affairs. Venus aspects the ascendant from the 7th house. The native therefore will become very attractive for women. He will also be wealthy and will possess all comforts of life including conveyances. If Venus is afflicted he has to suffer loss of his wife and may have to marry more than once. A dignified Venus brings wealth for the native from his wife's parents. He becomes a favourite of women and is always surrounded by them. We, however, feel that if Venus is aspected by or associated with Jupiter both the native and his wife will be very chaste and will enjoy a very happy married life. In the seventh house Venus will be in Kendra to the ascendant. The disposition of Venus in his sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will promote quarrels and will be fond of sexual union.
Phaldeepika-The native will have a good wife but he may have to suffer the loss of his wife. The native will be wealthy and will fall for unchaste women.
Saravali-The native will be handsome, and will enjoy a happy married life. He will be wealthy, fortunate and a friend of everybody.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be very attractive. His wife will give birth to jewel of a son. He will be fond of enjoying life in every possible manner.
Note-In essence all the above authorities agree with Bhrigu Sutras about the effect of Venus in the seventh house. Saravali however does not consider that the native will have contact with many women, but Bhrigu Sutras have dealt with the matter in more detail taking into account the different dispositions of Venus in the seventh house.
Venus in the Eighth House
Sutras 45-48-The native will be happy. His mother will suffer from a throat trouble in his fourth year. He will have less than medium span of life and will be sickly. He will have a devoted wife but he will be discontented. If Venus is in the house of a benefic, (or associated with a benefic) the native will enjoy full span of life. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, the native will be short lived.
Comments-The above Sutras are self explanatory and need no comments. There is, however, a contradiction-the native will be happy and discontented. Both these cannot go together. As the 8th house is an evil house, the disposition of Venus there will adversely affect the significations of the good house Venus owns.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will be base.
Phaldeepika-The native will be wealthy, long-lived and owner of lands.
Saravali-The native will be long lived and equipped with all kinds of comforts, very wealthy, like a king and happy.
Chamatkar Chintamani-He will enjoy comforts of all kinds of conveyances like horses, elephants etc. He will be long-lived but he will be harsh in speech. He will always remain in debt.
Note-Phaldeepika and Saravali have spoken very highly of the disposition of Venus in the 8th house. We are inclined to agree with their views. 8th house is house of longevity and Venus as a benefic should improve its-signification. Venus is a great benefic (only 2nd to Jupiter) and will aspect the second house (Dhana bhciva) and will therefore make the dative wealthy. As regard longevity we feel that the views of these authorities should prevail over those of Bhrigu Sutras. Even Chamatkar Chintamani is of the view that Venus in the 8th will make the native long lived.
Venus in the Ninth House
Sutras 49-58-If Venus is in the ninth house, the native will be religious minded, will devote himself to meditation and will perform religious rites, he will have very auspicious signs in his foot (like lotus, ankush, conch, etc), will enjoy all kinds of comforts and will be blessed with children. The father of the native will be long lived. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic there may be loss of father early in native's life. Again if Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, or is in the house of a malefic or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of wealth and the native will have illicit relations with the preceptor's wife. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic (or is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation), the native will enjoy high prosperity as a result of Maharaja yoga. If Venus is associated with the lord of the 4th or 7th house, the native will be exceedingly fortunate and enjoy the comforts of all kinds of conveyances, dresses and ornaments.
Comments-The ninth house is the most auspicious house in a nativity. When a great benefic is posited there, all the good significations of the house will become fruitful. The results will become more beneficial when Venus is associated with or aspected by benefics and is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. When Venus is in his own sign Taurus, the ascendant will be Virgo and Venus will be in the 9th as lord of the 2nd and when Venus is in his own sign Libra, the ascendant will be Aquarius, and Venus will be in the ninth as lord of the 4th and 9th houses. These are very powerful Dhana yogas.
The following horoscope of the late Jamshedji Tata illustrates the above point of view: '
Further the disposition of Venus in his own sign in the ninth (lord of ninth in the ninth) will give rise to a distinguished Raja yoga making the native very wealthy, highly respected and famous.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will be devout and philosophical.
Phaldeepika-The native will get rise in life by the favour of the king (Government). He will enjoy happiness in respect of wife, children and friends.
Saravali-The native will have a stout constitution. He will acquire great wealth, will be generous and will be happy in respect of wife and friends. He will devote himself to the service of his guests, preceptor and gods.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be a prosperous moneylender and religious minded. He will have happiness in respect of his brothers (as Venus aspects the third house). He will live a very comfortable and happy life.
Note-All the above authorities are agreed that Venus proves very auspicious and beneficial when posited in the ninth house.
Venus in the Tenth House
Sutras 59-61-If Venus is in the tenth house, the native will be full of glory. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a malefic, the native will have difficulties and obstacles in his undertakings. If Venus is associated with Mercury, Jupiter and Moon, the effects will be as under:- (a) The native will enjoy the comfort of many conveyances. (b) He will perform religious ceremonies of many kinds. (c) He will enjoy world wide reputation. (d) He will enjoy many Raja yogas (that is, he will be wealthy, honoured and famous). (e) He will be very fortunate and talkative.
Comments-According to above Sutras, Venus gives very beneficial results in the tenth in respect of the significations of this house unless afflicted. The results will be far more beneficial when Venus gets associated with three benefics-Jupiter, Mercury and Moon. All the effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of the tenth house. For the Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, Venus will be in the 10th, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th the 4th and 9th respectively. For the Cancer ascendant, Venus will be in the 10th as lord of 4th and llth. These dispositions give rise to very powerful Dhana yogas. When Venus is posited in the 10th in his own sign (lord of 10th in 10th), a distinguished Raja yoga is formed which will confer great wealth, name and fame upon the native. Venus in the tenth is in Kendra to the ascendant. The disposition of Venus there in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Venus a benefic being in the 10th to the ascendant also gives rise to the Amala yoga, the effects of which have been given as under:
"The person will achieve lasting fame and reputation. His character will be spotless and he will lead a prosperous life".
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will be wealthy.
Phaldeepika-The native will perform virtuous deeds, he will have happiness from friends. He will be respected and will attain a high status and get name and fame.
Saravali-The native will achieve by his efforts happiness, name, fame, honours and good reputation.
Chamatkar Chintamani-the native will earn wealth by doing religious work.
Note-All the above authorities agree that for Venus to be in the tenth is an ideal disposition in a horoscope.
Chamatkar Chintamani has taken a very narrow view of the effects of Venus in the 10th.
Venus in the Eleventh House
Sutras 62-64-If Venus is in the eleventh house, the native will be learned, very wealthy, owner of lands and kind hearted. If Venus is associated with (or aspected by) a benefic the native will enjoy the comforts of many conveyances. If Venus is in conjunction with a malefic, the gain of wealth will be through questionable means. If Venus is associated with a benefic the financial gains will be through rightful means. If Venus is in his sign of debilitation or is associated with a malefic or the lord of 8th, 6th or 12th there will be no financial gains.
Comments-The effects given in the above Sutras are very logical and relevant to the significations of the eleventh house. For Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius and Cancer ascendants, Venus will be in the eleventh, as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th, the 4th and 9th and the 4th and llth respectively. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. Another very gainful position for Venus in the eleventh will be in her sign of exaltation. Then Venus will be exalted in the llth as lord of the ascendant (Taurus ascendant).
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be prosperous.
Phaldeepika-The native will be wealthy, will have contacts with women other than his wife and will enjoy all comforts of life.
Saravali-The native will be happy and will enjoy large financial gains.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be handsome, well behaved, reputed, lover of truth, full of good qualities, fortunate, wealthy and king or like a king.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement with Bhrigu Sutras that Venus in the llth makes the native wealthy and happy.
Venus in the Twelfth House
Sutras 65-68-If Venus is in the twelfth house, the native will face exterme poverty. If Venus is associated with a malefic the native will be inclined towards sexual indulgences. If Venus is associated with a benefic the native will be very wealthy, will have all comforts of bed (sexual pleasures) and will go to heaven after death. He will go to hell if Venus is associated with a malefic.
Comments-The above Sutras are self explanatory and need no comments.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be rich.
Phaldeepika-The native will be rich and will have sexual enjoyments with many women.
Saravali-The native will be lazy and happy. He will have a plump body. He will be mean, clever in sexual matters and dominated by women.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be rich. He will destroy his fame and good qualities and will be inimical towards his friends and others.
Note-Except Saravali all the above authorities have expressed the view that Venus in the twelfth house will make the native rich. According to Bhrigu Sutras the native will face extreme poverty but will be very rich if Venus is associated with a benefic. We in this matter support the view of Brihat Jataka, Phaldeepika and Chamatkar Chintamani. The following Shloka from Bhavartha Ratnakar also gives support to the stand taken by us:-
This means that Venus in the sixth gives the same yoga effect (wealth) which he gives by being posited in the twelfth house.
7 Effects of Saturn in the Twelve Houses
Saturn in the First House
Sutras 1-7-If Saturn is in the first house (ascendant), the native will suffer from rheumatic and bilious diseases. If Saturn is in his sign of exaltation (Libra), the native will have lordship over a village or town and will have financial and agricultural prosperity. If Saturn is in his own sign Capricorn or Aquarius, the father of the native will be rich. If Saturn is in the ascendant in the sign of the lord of the 4th or 10th the native will be very fortunate and will enjoy the effects of Maharaja yoga (name, fame and wealth). If Saturn in the ascendant is aspected by Moon, the native will earn his livelihood by begging. This will not happen if Saturn is aspected by a benefic (Jupiter or Venus) also.
Comments-Very good effects have been ascribed- to Saturn when he is exalted, or in his own sign or is in the ascendant in the sign of the lord of the 4th and 10th houses. When Saturn is exalted, the ascendant will be Libra (for which he is a yoga-karaka planet) and he will be in the ascendant as the lord of the 4th and 5th. In this position he will naturally give very beneficial results. It is stated that when Saturn is in his own sign Capricorn or Aquarius, the father of the native will be rich. Neither Saturn nor the first house have any thing to do with father but this result can accrue when Taurus or Gemini is the ascendant when Saturn would be in the ascendant as lord of the 9th house (significator for father). We are of the view that if Saturn is in the ascendant, the native himself will enjoy good prosperity and will be long lived. Saturn in Capricorn will be better than Saturn in Aquarius, because in the former case he will be lord of the ascendant and the 2nd house and in the latter case he will be lord of the ascendant as well as the 12th house (an evil house). It is stated that Saturn in the ascendant in the sign of the lord of the 4th or the 10th will make the native very fortunate and cause Maharaja yoga. Saturn will be in the ascendant as lord of the 4th where the ascendant is Sagittarius. Saturn will be in the ascendant as lord of the 10th when the ascendant is Pisces. The view seems to be that Saturn will be very beneficial if he is in the ascendant in Libra or in either of the two signs of Jupiter. This view has been supported by the following Sloka of Uttarakalamrita:
This means that if there be any malefics posited in their highest exaltation coupled with their duty as Marakas, one need not describe the amount of evil caused by them. Saturn brings about a good amount of wealth and prosperity when he is posited in the Ascendant identical with Pisces, Libra or Sagittarius. If under the above conditions, the 7th kendra be not occupied or aspected by Jupiter or Mercury, the native will become a king. Still death should be predicted in the Dasa and Bhukti of the lord of the 7th house. The following Sloka from Man Sagri is also on the same The disposition of Saturn in the ascendant (Lagna kendra) in his own sign of exaltation will give rise to Sasa yoga (Panchmaha Purusha yoga), the results of which have been given as under:-
"One born in this yoga will command good servants. His character will be questionable. He will be head of a village or .a town or even a king. He will covet other's riches and will be wicked in disposition."
Other Views
BrihatJataka-The person concerned will be poor, sickly, love stricken, very unclean, suffering from diseases during his childhood and indistinct in his speech. (The above effects are only when Saturn occupies the Lagna identical with a sign other than Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra). If any one of the signs Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra be the ascendant and Saturn should occupy it, the person concerned will be equal to a king, the headman of a village, mayor of a city, a great scholar and will be handsome.
Phaldeepika-If Saturn is in the ascendant in his sign of exaltation or in his own sign, the native will be like a king or head of a village or a town. If Saturn is in any other sign, the native will be unhappy in his childhood and later will be poor and lazy.
Saravali-Same effects as given by Phaldeepika.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will own large properties and will be prosperous but greedy, sorrowful and narrow minded. He will humiliate his enemies.
Note-We commend the views expressed in Bhrigu Sutras which should be supplemented by those expressed in Brihat Jataka and Phaldeepika.
Saturn in the Second House
Sutras 8-9-The native will remain in want of money (financial stringency) and will have two wives (this means that his first wife will die and he will marry again). If Saturn is associated with a malefic the native will play foul with women and will be in charge of a Matha (a religious institution). He will possess no lands and will suffer from eye troubles.
Comments.-The important significations of the second house are finance, family, eyesight etc. These will be adversely affected by placement of the malefic Saturn in the second house as pointed out in the above Sutras. We, however, feel that in the case of the following dispositions the native will be well off financially:-
(1)When the Ascendant is Aries and Saturn is in the 2nd as lord of the -10th and llth houses. (2) When the Ascendant is Taurus and Saturn is in the 2nd as lord of the 9th and 10th houses. (3) When the Ascendant is Virgo and Saturn is exalted in the second as lord of the 5th house (He will also be lord of the 6th and there may be some blemish on that account). (4) When the ascendant is Libra and the Saturn is in the 2nd as lord of the 4th and 5th houses. (5) When Scorpio is the ascendant and Saturn is in the 2nd as lord of the 4th house. (There will be some blemish on account of Saturn being the lord of 3rd house also). (6) When the ascendant is Sagittarius and Saturn will be in the 2nd house in his own sign. (7) When the ascendant is Capricorn and Saturn will be in the second house as lord of the ascendant and the second houses (He will be in his own sign Aquarius).

Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be immensely rich but will be deprived of his wealth by a king and will suffer diseases in the face.
Phaldeepika-The native will be ugly in appearance. He will adopt questionable means for earning his livelihood and will be poor. Later in his life he will go away from his native place and will acquire wealth, conveyance and other objects of comfort.
Saravali-The native will have an afflicted face. Later in life he will leave his native place and acquire wealth, conveyances and other objects of comfort.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be harsh in speech and will acquire wealth etc., when he separates from his family and goes away from his native place.
Note-We are of the view that the views expressed by Bhrigu Sutras are quite logical. The effects given by Phaldeepika, Saravali and Chamatkar Chintamani in regard to financial prosperity will be realised, when Saturn is in the 2nd as lord of a good house as explained in our comments on Sutras 8-9.
Saturn in the Third House
Sutras 10-13-If Saturn is in the third house there will be loss of brothers (or there may be no younger brothers). The native will earn his livelihood by undesirable trades. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, the native will have a good number of brothers. If Saturn is associated with a malefic the native will be inimical towards his brothers (if there are any).
Comments-The above Sutras are self explanatory, quite logical and relevant to the significations of the third house. It may, however, be mentioned that as a malefic in an upachaya house Saturn will make the native courageous and wealthy.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will possess a good intellect and great strength.
Phaldeepika-The native will be intelligent, generous and will enjoy the comforts of married life, but he will be lazy and unhappy.
Saravali-The native will be a man with family, courageous, charitable and intelligent but he will be mean.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be unhappy on account of his brothers. He will be ambitious and a good orator. He will face many obstacles in his life.
Saturn in the Fourth House
Sutras 14-21-If Saturn is in the fourth house, there will be loss of mother. After the death of his mother, the native will get a step mother, but all these evil effects will not happen if Saturn is in his own house or exalted in the fourth house and the native will own horses and prestigious conveyances like palanquins. If Saturn in the fourth happens to be lord of the ascendant, the mother will be long-lived and the native will enjoy all kinds of comforts and be happy. If Saturn is associated with the lord of the 8th house, there will be loss of mother and happiness.
Comments-Saturn being a malefic is not conducive to happiness of the native and the welfare of his mother but these will be ensured if Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation in the fourth house. In the latter situation not only the mother of the native will get a long span of life but the native will also have substantial financial resources to enjoy all comforts of life and to possess luxurious conveyances (Palanquins were considered to be prestigious conveyances in old times-in the present times with such disposition the native will possess costly motor cars). The lord of the 6th, 8th or the 12th if associated with a planet will spoil not only the significations of that planet but also the significations of the house where the two planets are posited. If lord of 8th is associated with Saturn in the fourth house, two evil planets will join together to adversely affect the significations of the fourth house as described in Sutras 20 and 21.155
In the case of Aries, Taurus and Libra ascendants when Saturn will be a functional benefic being lord of the 10th and 11th , the 9th and 10th, and the 4th and 5th houses respectively, the disposition of Saturn in the 4th will give rise to powerful Dhana Yogas. Saturn in the fourth house will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, will give rise to Sasa Yoga the beneficial effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will have no happiness and will be troubled in mind.
Phaldeepika-The native will be without house, conveyance, mother and happiness. He will also be sickly in his childhood
Saravali-Same as Phaldeepika.
Note-All the above authorities are agreed that Saturn as a malefic will prove very evil in the fourth house. As to when Saturn will do good has already been explained in our comments above.
Saturn in the Fifth House
Sutras 22-26-If Saturn is in the fifth house, the native will be childless and very poor. He will be engaged in inferior trades and will adopt a daughter. If Saturn is in his own sign the native will have daughters. If Saturn is aspected by Jupiter the native will have two wives of whom one will be issueless and the second one will give birth to daughters. If Saturn is strong the native will have affairs with many women.
Comments-The above Sutras are self explanatory and need no comments. In case of Aries, Taurus and Libra ascendants, disposition of Saturn in the 5th as lord of the 10th and 11th , the 9th and 10th and the 4th and 5th respectively will give rise to powerful Dhana Yogas.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be childless and without wealth.
Phaldeepika-The native will be evil minded and devoid of learning, children, wealth and happiness. He will move about aimlessly.
Saravali-The native will be without happiness, children, friends and intelligence. He will be heartless and always poor.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be childless and of unstable mind and wealth.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement that Saturn in the 5th gives malefic results in regard to the significations of the house. As to when benefic results may be expected, has been explained in our comments given above.
Saturn in the Sixth House
Sutras 27-31-If Saturn is in the sixth house, the native will have little learning and there will be destruction of enemies. The native will have all financial and agricultural prosperity. If Saturn is associated with Mars, the native will travel far and wide and will enjoy Raja Yoga of a moderate order. If Saturn is in the 6th as lord of the 8th house, the native will suffer from Arishta (reduction in longevity) and rheumatic troubles and shooting pains. He will also have marks of injuries in the body.
Comments-The sixth is an upachaya house. Saturn in this house will give benefic results in regard to finances but will cause sufferings from diseases.
The sixth house is an evil house. If Saturn being lord of an auspicious house is in the 6th, the significations of that house will be adversely affected. However, if Saturn is in 6th as lord of the 6th. 8th, or the 12th house, extremely favourable results will be realised. In this connection please see our comments about the effects of Jupiter in the 12th house in part II-Chapter Five.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be powerful but will be overpowered by his enemies.
Phaldeepika-The native will eat a lot, will be wealthy and proud.
Saravali-The native will eat a lot and will be passionate, handsome, courageous, evil minded and conqueror of his enemies.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will vanquish his enemies, will own cattle like cows and buffaloes and will suffer loss of his uncle.
Note-The views of all the above authorities are the same.

Saturn in the Seventh House
Sutras 32-36-The native will have a lean bodied wife, he will be afflicted in his body and will indulge in prostitution. He will also be very sorrowful. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will have intimacy with many women. The effect will be the same if Saturn is in conjunction with Ketu. If Saturn is associated with Mars the native will kiss somebody's male organ with his mouth. If Saturn is associated with Venus, the native will kiss the female secret parts with his, mouth and will have intimacy with women other than his wife.
Comments-The essence of the above Sutras is that Saturn in the seventh house whether he is alone or is in association with Ketu, Mars or Venus, will cause indulgence in sexual perversions. These will further increase when Saturn is in his own sign, or in his sign of exaltation. Our view is that the native will not be so perverse when Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation but there is no doubt that the native will be of questionable character. In case of Aries, Taurus and Libra ascendants, the disposition of Saturn in the 7th as lord of the 10th -and 11th the 9th and 10th, the 4th and 5th will give rise to powerful Dhana yogas.
In the 7th Saturn will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Sasa yoga the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned should suffer humiliation at the hands of women.
Phaldeepika-The native will have intimacy with women of questionable character. He will be poor and unhappy and will travel aimlessly.
Saravali-The native will be sickly and will suffer loss of wife. He will be poor, ugly, sinful and of loose character.
Chamatkar-Chintamani-The native will have good friends, stable wealth and a stable minded wife. Husband and wife will both be sickly.
Note-All the above authorities except Chamatkar Chintamani agree that Saturn in the 7th will make the native indulge in sexual excesses and he will be of loose character.
Saturn in the Eighth House
Sutras 37-40-The native will have a life span of 75 years. He will be poor, will have intimacy with low caste women and will earn his livelihood by serving others. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, the native will have a still longer span of life. If the lord of the-8th house is in the house of his enemy or in his sign of debilitation, the native will be short lived and he will earn his livelihood with difficulty and may have to go without food.
Comments-All malefics in the 8th house shorten the longevity of the native but Saturn in this house is believed to give good longevity. Except for longevity Saturn in the 8th house gives only evil effects as described in the above Sutras. The native will face poverty as Saturn will afflict the second house by aspecting it. As regards effects on longevity it will be relevant to quote the following sloka from Bhavartha Ratnakar:-
This means that Saturn in the 8th house gives long life. If the lord of the 8th is with Ketu in the ascendant, the native will be short lived.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The native will have a limited number of issues and will have defective eye sight.
Phaldeepika-The native will be unclean, will suffer from piles, will be poor, cruel minded and will remain in want of food.
Saravali-The native will suffer from diseases of the anus and will be short lived and incapable of succeeding in any venture. Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will suffer loss of wealth, will be without friends, sickly and evil minded.
Note-All the above authorities are agreed that Saturn in the 8th will give evil effects generally.
Saturn in the Ninth House
Sutras 41-43-If Saturn is in the ninth house the native will be sinful but still he will get the dilapidated buildings of religious institutions repaired and in his 39th year will have bathing ghats, shelters for cows etc. built. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, the native's father will be long-lived. If Saturn is weak or is associated with a malefic the native's father will be short-lived.
Comments-For Taurus and Gemini ascendants the ninth house will fall in Capricorn and Aquarius respectively. Saturn in the ninth will then be in his own sign and lord of ninth will be in ninth giving rise to a powerful Raja yoga. For Libra Ascendant Saturn will be in the ninth as lord of the 4th and 5th houses and for Capricorn ascendant he will be there as lord of ascendant and the 2nd house. For Aquarius ascendant, Saturn will be exalted in the ninth house as lord of the ascendant. These dispositions will give very favourable results.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be endowed with children, wealth and happiness.
Phaldeepika-The native will be unfortunate, poor, childless, fatherless, and irreligious. He will also be evil minded.
Saravali-The native will have meager wealth and will be irreligious, childless, unhappy and one who causes troubles to others.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be cruel minded. He will have faith in Yoga Shastra and renunciation.
Note-Except Brihat Jataka all the above authorities have described the position of Saturn in the ninth as evil. In our view the good results attributed to Saturn by Brihat Jataka will accrue only if Saturn is posited in the ninth as lord of an auspicious house as mentioned in our comments on Sutras 41-43.
Saturn in the Tenth House
Sutras 44-45-If Saturn is in the tenth house the native will bathe in the Ganges in his 25th year. He will be stingy and of bilious constitution. If Saturn is associated with a malefic the native will face obstacles in his professional career. He will be successful in his undertakings if Saturn is associated with a benefic.
Comments-The learned author does not consider Saturn in the 10th as favourable in the matter of finances as well as professional career. The on]y good he will do is to give the native a bath in the Ganges. We fare, however, of the view that Saturn will give extremely favourable results in the following circumstances (1) When Aries and Taurus are the ascendants Saturn will be in his own sign in the tenth as lord of the 10th and 11th and 9th and 10th respectively. With lord of the 9th in the 10th and lord of 10th in 10th, a very powerful Rajayoga will be formed conferring upon the native name, fame, wealth and honours of a high order. For Libra Ascendant, Saturn will be in the 10th as lord of the 4th and 5th, giving rise to a powerful Dhana yoga. (3) For Capricorn ascendant, Saturn will be in the tenth as exalted lord of the ascendant and the 2nd, which is as powerful a disposition as a Raja yoga. (4) For Aquarius ascendant, Saturn will be in the 10th as lord of the ascendant, again a favourable disposition. In the tenth house, Saturn will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Sasa yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be happy and powerful.
Phaldeepika-The native will be a king or minister of a king, and will be extremely wealthy, famous and courageous and will take interest in agriculture.
Saravali-The native will be wealthy, learned, minister or a Judge or head of a village.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will lose both his parents in his childhood. He will indulge in sinful deeds. He will humiliate his enemies. His means of livelihood will be poor.
Note-The good results from Saturn will accrue only if Saturn is in the 10th as a functional benefic as mentioned in our comments above.
Saturn in the Eleventh House
Sutras 46-48-If Saturn is in the eleventh house, the native will be very wealthy but there will be obstacles in his way. He will also be owner of landed property and a favourite of Government. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign ofexaltation the native will be learned and enjoy Mahabhagya Yoga (causing prosperity of a very high order) and comforts of all kinds of conveyances.
Comments-All planets whether benefic or malefic prosper in the eleventh house unless they are lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th houses. Eleventh is an upachaya house and here malefics will fare better than benefics. It is on this account that very beneficial results have been attributed to Saturn in that house.
Very powerful Dhana yogas will result with Saturn in the eleventh in the following circumstances:-
(1) When Aries is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of tlie 10th and 11th,
(2) When Taurus is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the 9th and 10th,
(3) Libra is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the 4th and 5th,
(4) When Sagittarius is the ascendant and Saturn is exalted in the 11th as lord of the 2nd,
(5) When Capricorn is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the ascendant and the 2nd and
(6) When Aquarius is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the ascendant.

Phaldeepika-The native will be courageous, healthy, wealthy, longlived and will own immovable property. Saravali-Same as Phaldeepika.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will always be wealthy and courageous.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement with Bhrigu Sutras that Saturn gives very auspicious results in the eleventh house.
Saturn in the Twelfth House
Sutras 49-53-If Saturn is in the twelfth house, the native will be sinful and will have affliction in some part of his body. If Saturn is associated with a malefic the native will have defective eye sight. If he is associated with a benefic the native will be happy, will have good eye sight and will go to heaven after death. If he is associated with a malefic the native will go to hell, will incur wasteful expenditure and will be poor.
Comments-The above Sutras are self explanatory and need no comments. The 12th is an evil house and if Saturn is there as lord of an auspicious house, the good significations of that house will be adversely affected. However, very beneficial results will accrue if Saturn is in 12th as the lord of 12th, 6th or 8th house as explained in detail in our comments on the effects of Jupiter in the twelfth house in part II Chapter V.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will suffer degradation.
Phaldeepika-The native will be shameless, poor, childless and stupid and some part of the body of the native will be deformed.

Note-All the above authorities are agreed that Saturn in the twelfth house does not give any beneficial results.
8 Effects of Rahu and Ketu in the Twelve Houses
Note-The learned author has given the same effects of both Rahu and Ketu in the various houses. He has presumably taken the view as Rahu and Ketu are always in seventh to each other, both exert the same influence in a house in which any one of them is posited.

Comments-We would recommend to the readers to also study the effects of Rahu and Ketu in favourable and unfavourable positions, which are given in sufficient detail in Kalidas's famous classic 'Uttara Kalamrita. In view of the controversy about the role of Rahu and Ketu who are only shadowy planets there is a strong school of thought that they should not be considered as owners of any signs.
According to this view Rahu and Ketu act as agents to the planets to which they are conjoined. If they are not conjoined with any planet, they give the results of the planet who aspects them. Only when they are neither conjoined with, nor aspected by any planet, they represent the lord of the house in which they are posited.
Uttarakalamrita gives following further information about Rahu and Ketu:-
(1) Rahu and Ketu - if endowed with strength, produce effects similar to the planet owning an inauspicious house and in whose house they are posited or with whom they are conjoined. The lords ofKendra and Kona houses, if not conjoined with the two nodes, produces beneficial results. The effects will be contrary, if they be other node these two nodes in spite of their malefic nature becoming benefic by virtue of their position in certain houses or association with certain planets.
(2) If one of the two nodes and the lord of a Trikona be posited in the 9th or 10th, or if one of them be in the 9th or the other in the 10th or vice versa, the yoga will cause prosperity to the native. Even a conjunction of either of these with the lord of a trikona will prove beneficial. In the above circumstances the paras of these two nodes as well as these of the planets conjoined with them will prove happy. If there be a planet who is inauspicious associated by a sum of Sambhandha (relationship) with either of the nodes, then the Bhukti of the yogakarka planet will prove adverse. (3) The two planet.- Rahu and Ketu become auspicious when they occupy a Trikona or Kendra position or when they are associated with the lord of that particular kendra or kona house in which they are posited. They also prove beneficial when they conjoin with the lords of any Kendra or Kona house. If the lord of the 9th were to own the 8th or 12th as well, or if the lord of 9th and the 10th in the above circumstances were to conjoin with the lords of the 9th or the 12th, then the auspiciousness of the Yoga is lost.

Om Tat Sat
