Sodaranasa Yoga
Definition.-Mars and the 3rd lord should occupy the 8th (3rd, 5th or 7th) house and be aspected by malefics.
Results.-The person will be devoid of almost all brothers and sisters.
Remarks.-Mars is the karaka for brothers. The 3rd house and the 3rd lord have governance over brothers. A happy disposition of these three factors
is absolutely necessary if one’s brothers are to live. According to the above yoga, the presence of Mars and the 3rd lord in the 8th denotes that all the brothers would be destroyed. There is also the suggestion that the 3rd, 4th and 7th are also not suitable places for Mars or the 3rd lord to occupy. Practical experience shows that the disposition of Mars in the 7th is not as harmful as in the 8th. A karaka in the appropriate bhava is held to give rise to harmful results. I am not able to appreciate as to why the 4th should be deemed unfit for either Mars or the 3rd lord to join.
