Sumukha Yogas
Definition.—The lord of the 2nd should be in a kendra aspected by benefics, or benefics should join the 2nd house-A.
T’he lord of the 2nd should be posited in a kendra which should be his exaltation, own or friendly sign and the lord of the kendra should attain Gopuramsa -B.
Results.-The subject will have an attractive and smiling face.
Remarks.-Speech, eyes and facial appearance are all signified by the 2nd house. It must follow therefore that when the 2nd house and the 2nd lord
are afflicted, his speech must be harsh, eyesight defective, and facial appearance ugly. In reality this will not be the case because an ugly looking person may have a polished tongue and clear sight or a man of defective vision may have a gifted tongue. In all these cases, apart from how a yoga is defined, the disposition of the karaka should receive prime consideration.
