From Mesh onwards, the fateful degrees are: 8, 9, 22, 22, 25, 14, 4, 23, 18, 20, 21 and 10. Births in these degrees invite death soon. The same for Candr from Mesh onwards are: 26, 12, 13, 25, 24, 4, 26, 14, 13, 25, 5 and 12 degrees.
Notes: Phala Deepika, Ch. 13, Slokas 10 and 11 quote the above degrees fateful for Lagn and Moon. But it does not state, that birth will accordingly inflict death.
Jataka Tatwa, (B-108) states, that the following degrees are, respectively, fateful for Candr: 8, 9, 23, 22, 5, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 21 and 10 from Mesh onwards and death will be caused in the year denoted by such degree. Saravali (Ch. 10, Slokas 111 to 113) give the following fateful degrees for Candr, respectively, from Mesh onwards: 8, 9, 22, 22, 25, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 21 and 10.
Should Candr be in her fateful degrees, mentioned above and be in the company of a malefic, without relief from benefics, or be in the 8th Bhava, or in angle (in such a fateful degree), the child not only dies itself, but takes away its mother too.
Notes: Candr should be in her fateful degrees along with a malefic without benefic aspect. Alternatively she can be in the 8th, Lagn, 4th, 7th, or 10th. Either combination can cause death of the child and the mother.
Should the Lagn Lord be strong and occupy an angle, or trine, even the ArishtaYogas. indicating infant death can be overcome.
Notes: Following are some of the combinations, that nullify such evils. Guru not combust and in Lagn, or Lagn Lord with strength and in good aspects, or all Grahas in their own Rāśis, or Candr in deep exaltation, or own Bhava, or friendly Navamsh and in good aspect, or Candr in a friendly decanate along with a friendly Grah, or Candr’s kendra occupied by Guru. A benefic Grah with strength in angle, not joining the 8th Lord, leads to nullificaion of Arishta Yoga (causing death) in a nativity, or prevailing at the time of a query.
If a strong Grah is in Lagn, the 4th, or the 10th and be not in the company of Sūrya, the malefic Yogas (for short life) will vanish.
Many evil Yogas make the sustaining of the child difficult. But, if Candr, or Lagn receives the aspect of all the Grahas, these Yogas disappear, as darkness does before Sūrya.
Notes: The single aspect of Guru is enough on thc Candr, which can act, like a lion throwing away a thousand elephants (see Jatakadesa Marga).
Ch. 6. Arishta Yog
The evils causing infant deaths have since been explained. Now, the Arishtas (causing death), arising out of combinations of Grahas are explained (i.e. for elders too), as below. During the period of a Grah capable of inflicting evils, if Bal Arishtas simultaneously exist, then the evil is greater.
Should Lagn’s lord, or the dispositor of Candr be yuti with Sūrya and be without Drishti from a benefic, while malefics are in Kendras, the native dies in his 20th year. The rising of Mangal in Lagn, while Sūrya and Śani in strength are in Kendras, brings about the end of the native within 20 years. If, however, such death does not occur, there will be danger to his limbs, or he will become sick.
Should Mangal and Sūrya be in Lagn, which is a moveable Rāśi, while Guru is in Karm Bhava and Candr in Putr, or Dharm Bhava, the native will die in his 20th year.
If the decreasing Candr is in Randhr Bhava and in Vrischik Navamsh the native’s death will take place. (The longevity span is not mentioned here; but it is said to be short life Yog) He will at the maximum live up to 25 years, if Candr receives a Drishti from Śani and Mangal.
Should malefics be in the 8th from Candr, weak benefics in Sahaj, Ari, Dharm, or Vyaya Bhava, while Candr herself is in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the life span is at the most 25.
If both, Randhr’s lord and the 8th lord from Candr occupy Kendras, while Randhr Bhava and the 8th Bhava from Candr are occupied by a Grah and Candr and Lagn are devoid of strength, the native will not cross thirty. Should malefics occupy Dhan and Vyaya Bhava along with Guru and Rahu and Candr are in Yuvati, or Randhr Bhava, the longevity of the person is not above thirty.
Should a malefic set along with Sūrya (i.e. being in Yuvati Bhava from Lagn only and not in the 7th Bhava from Candr) and be yuti with Rahu and Guru, while Candr is in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the life span is 30.
The Yog caused by the position of Śukr and Guru in Lagn, while Mangal and Śani are in Putr Bhava and Candr is waning, produces a person with short life.
Sūrya and Candr yuti with Rahu will cause death at the age of 28. It is more certain, if Guru is also in Vyaya Bhava.
If Randhr’s lord from Lagn is in a Kendr along with Candr, while Randhr Bhava is occupied by a Grah and Kendras be devoid of Drishti from benefics, or occupation of benefics, the longevity is only 32. Should the waning Candr be in Kark, while Randhr’s lord is in a Kendr and Randhr Bhava is in turn occupied by a malefic and Lagn’s lord is devoid of strength, the span of life is only 30.
Note the longitudes of Lagn’s lord and Randhr’s lord. When added, if it results in a Kendr, or in Randhr Bhava and a malefic occupies that resultant place, the end comes in the 27th year. Should Randhr’s lord be in a Kon, while Randhr Bhava is occupied by Lagn’s lord, who in turn is in Drishti to, or yuti with malefics, the person lives up to 24, even though there is benefic Drishti on Lagn’s lord and on Randhr’s lord.
If Guru receives a Drishti from Śani, or is yuti with Rahu and a malefic is in Lagn, while Randhr Bhava is occupied, the life span is only 22.
Should Lagn be occupied by its lord, while Sūrya and Candr are in Bandhu Bhava together with malefics and Randhr’s lord is in a Kendr, the end of life is at 30. If Randhr’s lord occupies a Kendr, while Lagn’s lord is devoid of strength, the subject lives only up to 30, or 32.
Should Candr and Lagn’s lord be weak, receiving Drishti from malefics and be in Apoklima Bhavas (i.e. Sahaj, Ari, Dharm, Vyaya Bhava), the life span is just 40. If Guru and Śukr ar in a Kendr, while Lagn’s lord is yuti with malefics in a Apoklima Bhava, a person born before nightfall lives only up to 36. Should Sūrya be in Lagn, which is an inimical Rāśi to him and be hemmed between malefics, the person will always be sick and his end comes at his 36th year.
