Andha Yogas
Definition.-The Sun must rise in Lagna in conjunction with Rahu and malefics should be disposed in thrikonas-A.
Mars, the Moon, Saturn and the Sun should respectively occupy the 2nd, 6th, 12th and 8th-B.
Results.-The person will be born stone-blind.
Remarks.–The Sun and the Moon are said to rule the right eye and the left eye respectively. The 12th house governs the left eye and the 2nd, the
right eye. According to combination A, the Sun is subject to severe affliction by association with Rahu and the 12th house by being aspected by Mars.
Out of the four malefics, as the Lagna is to be occupied by the Sun and Rahu, the two others left, viz., Saturn and Mars will have to be in thrikonas, i.e., the 5th and 9th. Irrespective of whether Mars is in the 5th or 9th, he would be aspecting the 12th. If Saturn is in the 5th, he could aspect the 2nd ; if he is in the 9th, neither the 12th nor the 2nd would receive his aspect. The Moon is completely excluded.
Combination B can be considered more malignant because all the factors ruling the eyes,v iz., the Sun and the Moon and the 2nd and 12th houses
becomes ubject to the aspects or associations of Mars and Saturn. When Mars is in the 2nd and the Sun in the 8th, both the 2nd and the Sun are affiicted. When the Moon is in the 6th and Saturn is in the 12th, both the 12th and the Moon get involved. Since the 2nd house becomes more affiicted than the 12th, by virtue of martian position and Saturn’s
aspect, one born in this yoga would either be stone blind or completely lose his right eye. In actual practice, we find that when the 12th and 2nd houses, and the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction with or aspected by malefic planets or when they are in evil shadvargas, the subject will have either defective vision, loss of an eye, or complete loss of sight depending upon the intensity of the affliction.
