15. If a malefic planet be associated with or aspected by a benefic, it would be auspicious during its transit in several houses indicated in Gochara (transit) and Ashtakavarga (eight fold divisions). Similarly a planet, though he may be bene6c in Gochara and Ashtakavarga may give inauspicious results if he be associated with or aspected by a malefic. If the birth chart or Rasi chart (Janma Kundli) be strong, the effect has to be expected at the commencement of every twelve year cycle. The effect would be felt in the year denoted by the 30 year cycle if Navamsa be strong.
16. The native is likely to suffer from a terrible venereal disease on account of illicit sexual relations, if the lord of 7th house be not a benefic planet, be not posited in a sign owned by a benefic and be not associated with or aspected by a benefic and at the same time 7th house be under malefic influence. The effects of other houses, planets, etc. are to be assessed in a similar manner, and by favour of All-Mighty obtained through devotion.
SANKETA EIGHT
1. The author in this Sanketa writes about Itthashala and other combinations which are useful in answering queries. Some other combinations found correct in practical experience have also been described in this Sanketa.
2. If a planet with faster movement goes ahead of another with slower motion during transit and throws a benefic aspect over it, and when planets are brilliant, the power of the faster planet is transmitted to the slower planet. This disposition is called Itthashala yoga.
3. If the faster planet is deficient by a minute in the sign in which it is placed, than the slower planet, Itthashala Yoga is complete. If however, the faster planet has travelled more than this limit, or is behind this limit, Itthashala yoga is not formed. If the faster planet travels away a degree or more than the slower one, Musaripha yoga would be formed which does not give beneficial results.
4. If there is no aspect formed between the Lord of Ascendant and the lord of house about which query has been raised and there is a planet in between them which is receiving aspect from both the planets, then this in-between planet would take away the extra brilliance from the faster planet and pass it on to one which is in front of it. This is called Nakta yoga and it is a benefic one.
5. In the case of three planets mentioned in previous if in-between planet is slower than both of the other two and is aspected by both of them, it becomes more brilliant in its rays, and by taking the extra brilliance of the quicker one gives the same to the slower one. This is called yamaya yoga.
6. When there is Itthashala yoga between the Lord of Ascendant and house to which the query relates, if Moon also forms Itthashala yoga with them, Kambula yoga is formed. The learneds are of the view that there are many kinds of kambula yoga due to varying influence of the rays of these planets.
7. Planets posited in Poorva chakra (invisible half of the zodiac) give effect which can be felt. Those in Apara chakra (visible half) are not of such nature.
8. In the case of a moveable sign, the three decanates would be in their order good, mixed and bad. In the case of a dual sign, the order would be reversed. In a fixed sign. they will be bad, good and mixed.
9-11. Succes in the proposed venture would definitely result in the following combinations if there be aspect of Moon on them. 1) When Ascendant lord aspects it and the lord of house to which query relates, aspects the house concerned. 2) The Ascendant-lord aspects the house concerned and the lord of that house aspects Ascendant. 3) The Ascendant Lord posited in the house concerned aspects the lord of that house, and the Lord of that house posited in Ascendant aspects the Ascendant Lord. 4) The Ascendant lord and the lord of that house aspect each other. 5) The Ascendant lord be in Ascendant and the lord of the house concerned in that house. 6) The Ascendant Lord be in the house concerned and the lord of that house be in Ascendant and they do not aspect each other. 7) If the Ascendant lord and the lord of the house concerned be together in Ascendant or that house. 8) When at the time of query or birth the Ascendant lord and the lord of the house concerned be so associated together that they fill in the same Drekkana, same Hora or same Navamsa. In all these cases the effect would be in proportion to the strength of the planets concerned.
12. In the query chart, the subject of query would be in accordance with the indication of the planets concerned as given below: Mars-about self; Jupiter-about wife or some other woman; Moon-about mother; Mercury-about brothers; Venus-about family; Rahu or Saturn-about enemies; Sun-about father.
13. In this sloka guidance has been given to find out the subject which the querist has in mind. We should first find out who between the Ascendant lord and the 11th lord is stronger in Shadbala. We should then note the position of Moon as reckoned from the stronger planet. The querist may be said to be thinking about the matter pertaining to house in which Moon be posited.
14. The querist may have that subject in his mind which is concerned with: 1) The house with the lord of which Moon is in Itthashala yoga; 2) The house whose lord is in Itthashala Yoga with the Ascendant Lord, or 3) The house of the strongest planet among (a) Moon (b) a strong planet and (c) that occupied by the Ascendant lord.
15. If at the time of query, a strong Sun together with Mars be in quadrant or they aspect a quadrant, the querist would be thinking of a mineral. If Saturn and Mercury be both strong and posited in a quadrant or aspect a quadrant, the querist would be thinking of a plant or a root. When Moon, Jupiter and Venus be posited in a quadrant or if they aspect a quadrant, the querist would have a living creature in mind. The surmise would come out more accurately, when the quadrant happens to be Ascendant itself.
16. A-varga, Ka-varga, Cha-varga, Ta-varga, Tha-varga, Pa-varga, Ya-varga, Sha-varga, are respectively the vargas owned by Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Moon. (Moon owns Pa-varga and Sha-varga). If the first letter of query happens to be odd or even one of a group and if that group be owned by a planet owning two houses (signs) the odd or even sign of that planet should be taken as Ascendant.
