SECTION 4 : Planets in the several Bhavas and their effects.
Sloka 1 – Planets of the undermentioned groups, if in any way mutually related, prove auspicious to the native and make him a great personage and highly renowned :
Those occupying their exaltation, own house, a friend’s house or a Trikona position;
• those that are posited in a Kendra position and have attained Vargottamamsa;
• those that are aspected by benefics, that are conjoined with benefics, or are posited betwixt benefics;
• those that occupy their Moolatrikona Rasis;
• those that are proceeding towards the centre of a Bhava; and
• those that happen to own at Kendra house and a Kona house at the same time.
Sloka 2. The following sets of planets will prove inauspicious and mar the good or Subha yogas mentioned in the last sloka :
(i) planets in debilitation.
(ii) planets vanquished in planetary war.
(iii) Planets occupying inimical houses.
(iv) Those that are aspected by, or are in conjunction with, or are placed between malefics :

(vii) Planets that are weak
(viii) Planets owing Dusstthanas, viz., 6th, 8th and 12th, when conjoined with a lord of a Kendra or of a Trikona.
Sloka 3 (a) When the 9th and the 10th houses are occupied by their respective lords (b) when the said lords are placed together in either of these houses, or (c) when they interchange places, or (d) if they are so posited that they mutually aspect each other, these two planets bring on Rajayoga to the native. (e) If the said two planets be in conjunction with any of the lords of the 5th, the 7th the 1st and the 4th, or (f) occupy any of these houses, they bring on wealth and happiness to the native concentrated provided the said two lords (of the 9th and 10th) do not own the 8th or the 11th house as well.
Sloka 4 – Note the following three pairs of planets :-
(1) the lords of the 9th and 10th houses reckoned from the Lagna;
(2) The lords of the 9th and 10th counted from the 9th house from the Lagna;
(3) The lords of the 9th and 10th counted from the 10th house from the Lagna.
These three respective pairs of planets are in their order capable of bestowing a high, medium (or ordinary) and small position in life on the native concerned. If any of the three pairs aforesaid (a) are by their position mutually related by any of the three kinds of relationships referred to [viz. (i) by being in conjunction or close association (ii) interchange, i.e., each occupying the other’s Rasi and (iii) mutual aspect,] and possess strength, (b) occupy houses which are mutually in Kendra positions, or (c) be in conjunction with the planet owing the house occupied by the lord of Lagna, the person born will be come wealthy and a chief among men.
Sloka 5 (a) The lords of the Rasi and Amsa occupied by a planet and the lord of the Lagna; (b) the lords of the 10th and 9th houses; (c) the lords of the 5th, 3rd, 4th and 7th houses; and (d) the lords of the 2nd and 11th houses – these four sets of planets, if they are so related that being placed in any of the above said houses they
(1) are together in one house
(2) occupy each other’s houses
(3) have mutual aspect and at the same time occupy
a friendly house, own house or an exaltation Rasi, they respectively bestow on the native (a) prosperity, (b) elephants, horses and the like (c) happiness and children and (d) wealth.
Sloka 6. If the lord of a Bhava should OCCl1Py the 8th house (therefrom), be eclipsed by the Sun’s rays; be in depression, or posited in an inimical house and not asso¬ciated with or aspected by benefics, sages say that the Bhava is then completely destroyed. Should the Bhava be in conjunction with benefics, even then it will not be effective. Thus should the Lagna and the other Bhavas be judged.
Sloka 7. If the lord of the Lagna occupy the first, middle or last decanate of the Lagna, the person born will turn out a judge, a chief among men, or a headman of a village respectively. If the planet in question be aspected by or conjoined with Venus, Jupiter or Mercury, or occupy the Varga of a benefic or be in his exaltation, the native concerned will become an emperor of tile whole earth and respected by other kings.
Sloka 8. If at a birth. (a) the Moon with her digits full and endowed with strength be in her exaltation, Swak-shetra or a friends house, identical with the 9th, 4th, 10th
or 7th and be aspected by or in conjunction with Jupiter or Venus; or (b} if Mars and Saturn be similarly endowed with strength and benefic aspect and occupy the 2nd and 10th houses from the Lagna, the person concerned will be omniscient, will be endowed with all virtues, will be extolled by people and will be a highly munificent and great personage.
Sloka 9, Jupiter when he owns the 3rd and 12th houses in a nativity will be productive of good to the person concerned. The same remark applies when he holds the ownership of the 8th house or when he occupies the 8th house. Venus will do good when in the 6th house; Rahu will be favourable when he occupies the 7th, 4th, 9th, 11th and 0th houses. Ketu will prove auspicious where he is in the 3rd house.
Sloka 10. If the lord of a Bhava be posited in any of the Dusstthanas (6th, 8th, 12th), in his depression or inimical house, or be eclipsed be devoid of association or aspect of benefics, be in conjunction with or aspected by his enemy, occupy his inimical or debilitation Amsa, be conquered in planetary war with malfics and consequently (have rays. that have become) feeble (or low) in brilliancy, that Bhava should be pronounced as totally destroyed or useless. The case of all the Bhavas from the Lagna onwards should thus be viewed.
