10.0 CHAPTER IX
Bhava Phala or the Significations of the Planets in the Twelve Houses
Here, the results of the various planets occupying the different Bhavas are sketched out and the astrologer will see how each house and its significations are affected and modified. The balancing of evidence and pronouncing of correct judgement are not such great difficulties to a judge as the balancing of the results of the occupations of the planets in the different houses and making correct predictions for an astrologer. Take Mesha.
First there are the influences of the sign. Then we have the Hora, Drekkana, Navamsa, Dwadasamsa, Thrimsamsa, the stellar, and the planetary influences. All these and the influences of combinations, aspects, debilitations, exaltations, retrogression, acceleration, friendly and unfriendly houses, Moolathrikonas and other particulars will have to be taken into consideration.
Any brain, however intelligent it may be, reels back at the stupendous labour which lies before it in astrological calculations. It is surprising how educated people, themselves discontented with their heavy incomes, can make up their minds to overlook the dignity of the herculean labour and offer to the really learned astrologers small sums often even less than humble wages of a street cooly.
Such, however, is the logic of the learned and they have the audacity to find fault with the astrologers for false predictions. This is something like jeering at an Engineer for not building a tank bund properly, when he is paid ten rupees for a work, which really costs a thousand. What would be his reply readers can answer.
Ravi in 1 – produces hot body, heat diseases, bad temper, leanness, ingratitude, fond of dining at others’ places and repulsive complexion.
Ravi in 2 – deprived of corn. and coin, harsh tongue, debility, fond of quarrels, hatred, mischief, friendless.

In all these cases, the planet alone should not be consulted for results. Even here, there are great differences. If Mesha is Lagna and Ravi is there and if Thula is Lagna and Ravi occupies it there will be great difference in results.
In one he is exalted and in the other he has debilitation. Similarly, if Chandra occupies Vrishabha as Lagna and Vrischika as Lagna, the results will be different. The digestive organs of a healthy man and his organs, when he is seriously sick, will produce different results.
