Fire is related to spirituality, religion, magnanimity, and self-assertion. It is characterized by too much emotional development. Such characters soar high but often fall equally low. It produces pseudo-mystics.

It is said: ‘Fire is the element of the will and an irresponsible prophet only acting at luck hits.” Fire loves the future, it gives rise to proud, enterprising and commanding disposition with a desire to lead others possesses a spiritual bento of mind.

Fire indicates outward expression of emotion, passion and enthusiasm. People with strong emphasis of the fire element are spontaneous and impulsive, they apply their energies wholeheartedly.

Excess fire can make a person angry, hot-tempered, violent and aggressive. It may cause heartburn, liver problems such as hepatitis, and stomach problems such as ulcers, gallbladder problems, inflammation and fevers.

Lack of fire causes poor circulation with cold extremities, poor muscle tone, low vitality, indigestion, lack of courage and confidence.

Fire signs are strong, self-assured, creative and fun. When they get too hot to touch, though, it may be a good idea to stand back!

Saturn and Mercury have exchanged their Nakshatras giving indications about the functioning of planets.

Thus above conditions also specify that Mercury and Venus being malefic planet for Natal and Navamsha chart of the native. Mercury causing Neech Bhang Raj Yogas have exchanges its Nakshatra with the Karmic Planet Saturn so as to give results as per the previous birth good and bad deeds.

Ascendant Lord Sun is in the 9th house though in Rahu – Ketu axis. All these Yogas (Vipreet Raj Yoga, Neech Bhang Raj Yoga etc.) raised the native to dizzy heights.

Saturn – Jupiter Dasha and Mercury Dasha played very important role in his life from 1968 – 1985 by making him extremely rich.

Yogakarak Mars from 5th house and having 4th aspect on the 8th house influencing the Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

All these planets including Mars are in the house of Jupiter. Mars being the benefic planet for ascendant lord and in the sub – sub of Jupiter confirms this aspect.

He had Gum industries in Punjab and maintained high standard of living till 1985 and settled his children very well.

However Ketu in the 9th house in Natal chart with Sun is a dangerous combination for continuity and stability. His Apoklim (Cadent – 3, 6, 9, 12) houses are all afflicted, indicating old age travails (disturbance and problems).

In Navamsha chart Venus is debilitated in 12th house denoting evil results during its Dasha.

Venus – Venus, Venus – Sun, and Venus – Moon Dasha has went alright because Venus and Sun are exalted in Natal chart and Moon forms Gajkesari Yoga for the Native.

Four Planets in the Natal chart in 10th from Moon and in 12th from Sun shaped his finances well till Venus – Moon Dasha.

Venus – Mars Dasha produced most fatal results for him. Mars in Natal chart aspected by 6th lord Saturn and Ketu.

KCD (Ascendant, Sun and Moon) are devoid of any benefic aspects.

Vipreet Raj Yogas and Neech Bhang Raj Yogas bring back the native from where he started.

Native sold his factory and house etc. and distributed all his money among his children in making their career and also with a hope that they will take care of him but his children deserted / ditched him after receiving the share of property.

During Venus – Mars Dasha, this native was approached by a man to set up a fevicol factory in Gurgaon, and promised him a good salary and perks. Disillusioned with life, as all his children deserted him, he accepted the offer and came to Gurgaon to start a new life.

But once he established the company for his new employer, he was forced to resign from his new job in Venus – Mars Dasha.  Thus his employer after taking the benefit of his skills and after having the profit in business ditched him.

Native then came to Delhi, tried to re – establish by starting a new factory, but could not succeed due to his advanced age and lack of money and resources.

Today he is forced to live a life of rags in a small rented house.

Malefic deeds done by the native in the previous birth have not been explained at this point of time. Previous birth Violations is related with Moon and Venus.

Placement of Planets in Sign, Star, Sub etc. + House Cusps also confirmed about the destiny of the native.

Please see from each house 12th house is taken as a loss (malefic house) in relation to that house in certain aspects.

In Natal Chart as seen from the house of luck (9th house) where Sun is placed – placement of Jupiter and other planets is in the 12th house (Sign Pisces) already given the indication of losses as seen from the house of Luck.

Sun important part of KCD has confirmed this aspect. Sun placement with Ketu and also in the Nakshatra of Ketu and Ketu in the Nakshatra of Venus and the Sub – Sub of Saturn confirms this aspect.

Saturn in Sign Pisces Significator of the following things mentioned below:

Sorrows, misfortunes, disregard of money, losses through friends, financial difficulties, hostile superiors, downfall, unaccountable secret, enmity and persecution, trouble with servants, estrangement from and death of father, native is his own worst enemy, cannot maintain dignity, romantic attachments with disastrous endings, ailing marital partner, death sometimes through suicide or grief.

In Navamsha Chart Saturn in the house of previous deeds having 7th aspect on the guidelines of the religious court of Law where Venus is placed + Saturn in the Nakshatra of mercury and Sub – Sub of Jupiter confirms about the mix results as per the previous birth deeds of the Native.
In Navamsha Chart Saturn in the house of children and in Natal Chart Saturn having its 10th aspect on the House of children where Mars is placed giving strong indication that the native will be deserted by his own blood (children).

Please see Navamsha Chart you will find that Saturn placement in the house of Jupiter + Jupiter placed in the house of Sun + Sun placed in the house of Moon + Moon placed in the house of Venus + Venus placed in the house of Mercury (house of Religious Court of Law) + Mercury placed in the house of Mars and Mars placed in its own house.

Thus we can say that Mars have taken the full control of all these houses via Mercury and Venus (same confirmed through sign, star, sub lord etc.) and thus giving the strong indications that being in the Nakshatra of Venus and Venus being debilitated in Navamsha chart thus Venus – Mars Dasha as per the guidelines of religious court of law will prove to be disaster for the Native taken into consideration previous birth negative deeds as depicted by the Saturn being placed in the 5th house of Previous birth deeds in Navamsha chart and having 10th aspect on the 5th house of the Natal chart where Mars is placed.

Jupiter the decision making authority have followed all the administrative procedures as defined by the religious court of law before giving official sanction for the good and bad results to take place in the life of the Native.

His Fortuna sign becomes the sign Scorpio (4th house of Supreme Court) and Jupiter having 9th aspect on the house of Supreme Court (Fortuna Sign) giving indications about the good and bad results as per previous birth deeds.

In Navamsha Chart Sign Scorpio (4th house and house of Supreme Court of Natal chart) becomes the Ascendant and placement of its lord Mars in its own sign with the Lord of the 11th house (Mercury – administrative guidelines) thus giving indications about the effect the native in this birth as per the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court.

Please note that in Law of Astrology issues have been taken, argued and discussed and the final decision have been taken after discussion with the panel of judges of the Supreme Court.

Five Judges in the panel of Supreme Court of Astrology – Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Sun, Venus.

In Court of astrology there is no concept of Benefic or Malefic planet + Exaltation, Debilitation, Retrogression have different definitions in Law of Astrology as compared to the general definitions used and practiced + There is also no concept of Raj Yogas (for example if you see Sun + Mercury together in a house then we can say that outside courts they are causing budhitava Raj Yoga but please note that in Court of Law they are not causing any kind of Raj Yoga but instead they can be taken as the Judges in the panel of Supreme Court who are doing analysis of the deeds of the native related to particular areas of Human Life Cycle and communicating with each other through Nakshatras).

Divisional charts at the time of birth helps us in telling us about the areas discussed and effects which the native is going to get + the areas in which decisions have been pending + areas in which the arguments of defense and attacking council (Rahu or Ketu or Ketu or Rahu as per their role in the chart) is still going on and its impact can be seen on the life of the human beings related to particular areas of Human Life Cycle.

On regular basis Functioning of courts in astrology takes place. Transits of charts whether it is interlinking charts or KCD charts help us in understanding about the functioning of administrations as per the guidelines defined by the religious court of laws (11th house).

In Natal or Navamsha Chart any planet placed in or aspects the 4th house or 11th house give indications about the previous birth karmic debt issues.

Placement or aspects of planets in the 4th house or 11th house or their lords having connections with the 5th house of previous birth deeds or its lords through Nakshatra, Sign or Star or Sub lords etc. helps us in giving information about the malefic deeds done by the native in the previous birth and how the native will get the impact of those deeds in this birth.

Malefic or benefic trap is kind of skill used by the attacking council in order to divert the attention of the defense council so as to have a grip over the case which will help him (attacking council) in winning the case.

These Malefic traps can be seen through the Year Chart and Year Navamsha chart. Divisional Charts helps us about the areas in which the effect of such malefic traps can be realized.

Malefic Traps includes Betrayal, Fulfilling Selfish Motives through friendship or any other thing and many more not mentioned at this point of time.

The impact of these malefic traps can be seen in a particular area of human life cycle it could be depression, tensions, mental pressure etc.

In Court of astrology role of defense and attacking council is to win the case after following all administrative guidelines as defined by the religious court of law.

Once decision taken by the Judges of Supreme Court then Saturn role is to implement those decisions from time to time.

The functioning of administration of the courts helps us in understanding the different stages of Human Life Cycle.

This is only a glimpse of the LAW OF ASTROLOGY.

Role of Mind and Case Analysis Report of Mr. Adolph Hitler (Dictator) – Part – VI

Role of Mind and Case Analysis Report of Mr. Adolph Hitler (Dictator) – Part – VI

It is surprising to note that no two human beings are alike (even the twins differ). It is here that role of mind or human nature comes in. Mind is the seat of consciousness through volition and feelings situated in the brain. The mind and brain are not identical though closely related. Mind is that part of the brain, which performs the functions of thinking, knowing, feeling, willing and determination etc.

The mind is divided into five major divisions – conscious or alert mind (1st house), lower or negative mind (3rd house), unconscious mind (6th house), and sub – conscious mind (8th and 12th house) and super conscious mind (9th house). The conscious mind works while we are awake and alert, the unconscious mind keep on doing routine works without the conscious mind even realizing it, and sub – conscious mind keep on working all the time (even while we are asleep). The unconscious mind has also to deal with six enemies of humanity (Kaam, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahankaar and Eersha).

In case of criminals lower and unconscious mind is more developed and afflicted. A native with low level of consciousness would get easily disturbed whereas one with elevated consciousness gets inner power to convert a mountain of a problem into a mole hill.

Another division of mind is between “The Ambitious mind” represented by 3rd and 6th house and “The Becoming Mind” represented by 9th, 10th, and 11th house. Our life is ambition. We want to be somebody, to be well though of and want to achieve a result. Whatever we want to be, the ambition, the drive, the impulse of becoming is the process of choice / ambition. Our life is a series of struggles, a movement from one ideological concept / desire to another. In this process of becoming / struggle, the mind deteriorates. The very nature of the deterioration is choice, from which springs the ambition. The ambition breeds competition.

This ambition produces certain industrial benefits, but in its wake there is darkening of mind and the mind loses its pliability / simplicity. But only few are aware of this ambition in our life.

The becoming mind is a mind that is always growing, becoming, enlarging, gathering experience as knowledge which is so very essential in bringing out success / fulfillment of desires.

Case Study of Mr. Adolph Hitler of Germany

Date of Birth – 20 – 04 – 1889, Time of Birth – 06:30pm, Time Z-1h E : 13E22 AND 48N6 (AUSTRIA).

The Native had 10th lord Moon in close conjunction with the 3rd – 6th lord Jupiter in 3rd house in RahuKetu axis, polluting his 3rd house of lower mind. Moon is in the Nakshatra of 1st and 8th lord Venus and sub – sub of Rahu. Rahu in the Nakshatra and sub – sub of Jupiter and having 5th aspect on the Ascendant and 7th aspect on the 3rd house where Jupiter, Moon and Ketu is placed.

Thus polluting his 3rd house of lower mind along with the alert mind (Ascendant). This coupled with presence of Shool yoga, made native a dictator and caused agony and death to Lakhs of Jews during second world war during Dasha of Rahu.

In Navamsha Chart Rahu placement in the 8th house of sub conscious mind having 7th aspect on the Ascendant Lord Venus (alert mind), Mars and Ketu posited in the 2nd house giving strong indications of how alert mind gets affected and negative mind gets activated.

In Natal chart Lagnesh Venus had lost in planetary war to Maraka 2nd – 7th lord Mars in 7th house of war. This Mars aspecting Saturn in 10th house and Ascendant.

7th house of war is in the Nakshatra of Ketu and Sub – Sub of Saturn. Ketu in the Nakshatra of Venus and sub – sub of Jupiter. Jupiter having 9th aspect on the house of guidelines of Religious court of Law whose lord is in the 7th house of war. Sun is in the Nakshatra of Ketu and sub – sub of Venus. 11th house is in the Nakshatra of Venus and sub – sub of Rahu while Rahu is in the Nakshatra and Sub – Sub of Jupiter.

Thus giving strong indications that Jupiter, Sun, Moon being the malefic planet of Libra Ascendant has affected his mind due to which native becomes the dictator and responsible for the death of innocent people.

Venus and Saturn being Luck activating planet plays the important role in his growth and development.

Previous birth Violations related with Mercury. Mercury planet of communication and Mars planet of war are bad from birth. He belongs to the Varna (Ego Development) of Kshatriya class giving indications of fighting’s.

As seen from 8th house its lord Venus is placed in the 12th house of loss in identical degrees with 7th Lord Mars. Mars significator of fighting’s, wars, placed in its own house of war.

In Natal Chart

1) Saturn in the sign Cancer giving indications of the difficulties at the time when the native ends his life.

2) Mars in the sign Aries giving indications of the native being energetic, popular, impulsive, rebellious, desire to lead, wounds, even death due to natives own action.

In Navamsha Chart – Saturn in the sign Capricorn giving indications about the native being Ambitious, Selfish, having tact and diplomacy, Mentally disturbed at the time of his death.

Jupiter, Mars, Venus are the Marak planets for the Libra Ascendant.

In Natal chart Rahu from the 9th house also aspecting Lagna.  Hence Rahu became the cause of his down fall and defeat also. Rahu is in the Nakshatra and sub – sub of Malefic planet Jupiter.

During Rahu – Moon, native committed suicide after defeat in war.  At that time as per my system of calculation transit Saturn was in the 11th house having 10th aspect on the house of death.

Laws of Karmas

Laws of Karmas

The law of causation is the most fundamental one. Anything that happens is due to a cause or a seed. Whatever we see or are today, is the effect of a cause that has already taken place in the past. Each native is the master of his own destiny – his own judge of reward / punishment. All the actions of body, mind and senses or the thought process and the reactions that follows it, are Karma. Every Karma brings its own reward / punishment. It is these causes of past which give predisposition in certain direction, makes it very difficult to do certain things and very easy to do the others. They give us instincts, traits, inclinations and make some ways seem better than others. Destiny may not be altered, but the road to one’s destination can definitely be smoothened and made more functional.

The 3rd house gives courage, vitality, stamina, mental inclination and perseverance, while 6th house provides superior strength, seriousness, passions, competitive / combative and general success. Armed with these when one acts, the success and gains are bound to come as a result of 11th house fructifications.

In a chart destiny / luck is indicated by 9th house and its counterpart Purshartha by 3rd house. Life is a constant struggle of a native for improvement over destiny. 6th house represents our struggle and competitive nature. 3rd house is 6th of 10th house i.e. it indicates those Kiryaman Karma which one does with strong will and belief called Purshartha as an effort to smoothen the path of destiny.

The great progress which the humanity has shown over the centuries is because the natives have not accepted the destiny as it is, but have put in their Purshartha to change the course of destiny in a gradual but positive direction.

The four Aims of Life and Trikone

Dharma Trikones (1st, 5th, and 9th) houses

With their location forming a triangle relative to Lagna, these are most auspicious houses of all. These houses relate to our sense of purpose and the spirit that moves us. The planets posited therein get closely associated with destiny and hence gain strength. 1st house is the self or spirit. The 5th house is the inspiration of the sense of purpose through creative expression. The 9th house is our spiritual beliefs and truths. It is the realization of our spiritual connection to all through the spirit. These houses are also called Lakshmi Sthan or Dharma Trikone. While the Benefics here ease the flow of destiny, the Malefics could cause challenges to be faced by the soul and hence require one to connect with mystical inner selves.


Artha Trikones (2nd, 6th, 10th) houses

These houses are about our material achievements and the recognition gained from them. While the 2nd house is about all forms of material gains including wealth and family, the 6th house is related to the urge to improve through hard work and the 10th house is related to the public recognitions and power received through career.

Importance of 10th house

One may note the role of the 10th house. Minus 10th house, this group of houses becomes Trishadya houses – an evil group. It is the 10th house, the best of Kendra’s (Vishnu Sthan), the zenith of human activity, representing Karmas done by the native during his present birth. 3rd house is 6th (mental stability, success in competition and material prosperity) from 10th, 6th is Luck and Fame (9th from 10th) and 11th is 2nd (wealth, family and speech) of 10th house. It highlights the importance of Karmas because Karmas alone can give or take one’s desires to their ultimate goal – the fulfillment.

Kaam Trikones (3rd, 7th, 11th) houses

These houses are about fulfillment of our desires as we play our role in the world. The 3rd house is about our self expression and communication with stamina and perseverance to relate with others, the 7th is related to the joy achieved out of a long – lasting relationship and public relation and 11th is related to the accomplishment of all worldly desire, money and friendship.

Moksha Trikone (4th, 8th, 12th)

Of all aims of life, Moksha is the ultimate goal. These houses liberate or free the soul from the bindings of earthly Karma. They deal with the past, with fear based emotions and with the essence of the soul. The 4th house is all about gaining the ultimate security and happiness of domestic life. The 8th house is our connection to the mysterious world, which can cause events outside our control and hence leaves the ego crushed. The 12th house is about the immense joy (bliss) one feels within, which can release all attachments of the world.

Classification of Houses in Astrology

Glimpse of different Houses in astrology

Classification of Houses

Astrology is one of the most difficult science. It is neither a physical science as physics or chemistry is, nor is Meta – physical.  The precision of mathematics should be harmoniously combined with the intuitive capability of an astrologer and the divine grace of the Almighty. While delineating a horoscope, a good deal of all the three is essential.

The point rising in the East at the time of birth is known as Ascendant, the most important single consideration used in Vedic astrology for predictions. The zodiac sign which include the Lagna is considered the first house. The sign next to the Lagna (Ascendant) becomes the second house and so on. Equally in importance for all purposes is birth sign. It is the sign wherein at birth, Moon is positioned. It is treated at par with Ascendant for the purpose of predictions. Next in importance to Lagna or Moon is the 10th house of Karma (Deeds). The 10th house is the zodiac sign which is exactly on top in North direction (the meridian cusp) at the time of birth.

There are 12 houses in a chart, each of which defines a specific domain or area of activity of human life. One can not say with any definiteness why particular events of human life are attributed to particular houses in a horoscope.

It must be noted that the 12 houses refers to all the possible relation of Jeev (soul) in its journey from the cradle to the grave. The ancient sages must have had in view some scientific basis for the allocation of all the events of human life to the 12 houses or Bhavas. But they have not recorded it anywhere and left it to subsequent generations to interpret and understand it. However the allocations have withstood the test of time without any blemish. The qualities of the houses are explained in terms of Kendra’s (Centers), Trikones (Trines), Upachaya, Dushtanas, Trishadya and Marakas.

Kendra’s (Centers) (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) houses

The 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses are called Kendra’s or quadrants. These are very powerful houses as they lead to emphatic manifestation in life. Planets in Kendra’s are considered strong and active which help them accomplish their potential. They are sharp, energetic and decisive. They give power for achievement and a strong will in life. These houses are also called Vishnu Sthans. Benefics here leads to powerful manifestations with smaller efforts, while Malefics can cause struggle and pose challenges for accomplishments. Lagna is both a Kendra as well as Trikone, hence extra strong and important.

Trikone (1st, 5th, and 9th) houses

With their location forming a triangle relative to Lagna, these are most auspicious houses of all. These houses relate to our sense of purpose and the spirit that moves us. The planets posited therein get closely associated with destiny and hence gain strength. 1st house is the self or spirit. The 5th house is the inspiration of the sense of purpose through creative expression. The 9th house is our spiritual beliefs and truths. It is the realization of our spiritual connection to all through the spirit. These houses are also called Lakshmi Sthan or Dharam Trikone. While the Benefics here ease the flow of destiny, the Malefics could cause challenges to be faced by the soul and hence require one to connect with mystical inner selves.

Upachaya (3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th)

Upachaya means improvement, growth or progress. They create a certain amount of urge / tension which drives one to improve life’s situations and gets better over time. These houses have a competitive edge to them. The strength of Kendra and Trikone houses decides name, fame, and monetary position of a native, the strengths of Upachaya houses show potential and opportunities for personal growth / gains. Natural Malefics like Mars, Saturn and Rahu do well in these houses and give the power to overcome difficulties. The energies (persistence, determination and aggression etc.) of these Malefics are gradually harnessed and eventually pay dividends.

Trishadya (3rd, 6th, 11th) houses

These houses are considered evil. There lords if own a Kendra or a Trikone, then their association with other Kendra / Trikone lords does not give Rajyoga. However the lord of 11th or planets posited therein give good results from financial point of view.
Dushtana or Trika (6th, 8th, 12th) houses

Classical text have condemned the Trika houses, their lords or planets posited therein (Chhidra planets) as evil with a negative role. They are considered to represent all the negative forces and are held responsible for all the sufferings, miseries, calamities, and diseases that befall a negative. The only exception being when they exchange house in between them and thereby form “Vipreet Rajyoga” and as the name suggests it is the combination against their nature.

Houses of Longevity or Maraka

1st, 8th, and 3rd (8th from 8th) are considered to indicate longevity and 12th house from each i.e. 12th, 7th, and 2nd are termed as Maraka houses.

Note – It is interesting to observe that 6th house is an Upachaya, a Trishadya and Trika House as well. Hence this house considered for mix results.

Seventh (Marriage) Lord in Various Houses

Seventh (Marriage) Lord in Various Houses

In the Ascendant

If the lord of the seventh house is found in the Ascendant, the native may marry a person who had been brought up in his own house or had known her since the childhood. He will be traveling from place to place. If afflicted, and in a movable sign, he will be always in the midst of ladies and hanker after clandestine relationship with other women. The spouse of the person shall be intelligent and a mature person.

In the Second House

According to Parashara, seventh house and second house are Maraka of second grade. First grade being, lord of eighth and third. So when seventh lord is placed in the second house, he becomes very powerful as death inflicting planet.

The person will get wealth (In the accumulated sense) through women or through his own marriage. If the affliction is there, person may lose his wife early or his wife shall be of questionable character and the person himself be engaged in flesh trade not sparing his own spouse even.

Affliction further denies further the good quality of good doled out by others in charity. If a common sign is second house, more then one marriage is likely, provided Venus in the horoscope is strong. If the Maraka Dasha is on, the native may die even in this period.

In the Third House

This position gives lucky younger brothers who reside in foreign countries and are generally rich. But if a severe affliction, the native may share the bed of younger sister or spouse of younger brother. His brothers may suffer in their fortunes, however, sisters do survive in lie. Marriage is generally delayed and loss of issues are the other characteristics.

In the Fourth House

If the seventh lord is in the fourth, the native may enjoy lots of comforts, may have fleet of vehicles as the seventh is the fourth from the fourth house according to Bhavat Bhavam theory. The native shall have a religious beat of mind, shall have mental peace and be an intelligent person on the whole. He shall have high academic qualifications. His wife shall beget many children.

But if a severe affliction is present or Rahu or Ketu has any say in the matter, domestic peace will be damaged. Vehicles shall pose endless problems and the spouse may be of mean nature, and his / her character may be of questionable nature. The native may visit many foreign countries.

In the Fifth House

Fifth house being eleventh from the seventh, is a prominent place for seventh lord to occupy provided it is beneficially disposed, not afflicted and without any Paap Kartari Yoga.

For the seventh lord to occupy the fifth indicates the native’s spouse hails from a rich and prosperous family and is a source of continued gains to the native. He may be married in his / her early youth and he / she may be knowing the spouse before marriage. The wife / husband shall be able person commanding position in the society.

But if afflicted, he may not any children or his wife may adopt adulterous means to beget the same. His superiors may under go endless hardships in foreign countries. If both malefic and benefic influence is there it indicates only females issues are born and other bad traits reduced to some extent.

In the Sixth house

If the lord of seventh is placed in the sixth house, it denotes a miserable life. The naïve may not marry at all provided a benefic Jupiter does not cast his aspect over the seventh house or its lord. The native derives pleasure from two wives and one of them may be the daughter of his maternal uncle.

If there is an affliction and Venus is also ill disposed and weak one may be impotent and suffer many diseases such as piles or the native may lose his wife on account of his enemies carrying her away.

In the Seventh House

This is a good position for the seventh lord to occupy, as this way the planet shall be in his own house. The native shall have a powerful and magnetic personality. Though handsome or not shall depend upon the nature of the planet involved. He will be extremely popular in the women circle.

Women will go out of their way to seek his association. The spouse shall come from a good and reputed family. An early marriage and high standard of life is also assured. If the naïve is in business, he shall have very cordial relation with his partners. He may get wealth from his wife or through her family.

But in case of affliction and Venus is also found weak in the chart the naïve may not marry at all. His marriage negotiations may bring loss. Friends may desert him. If the seventh lord is any other planet other than Sun and Moon, it causes on of the PAANCH MAHA PURUSHA YOGA.

In the Eighth House

When the lord of the seventh houses is posited in the eighth house and if the planet concerned is benefic, it indicates the life partner being extremely rich person. The native may marry within relations. It is a known fact that eighth house is a house of legacies, insurance and for inheritance. For the lord of any house posited here, provided the planet is well fortified and not ill disposed, indicates inheritance and legacy from that source. So the placement of the seventh lord in eight house being free from affliction thus denotes life partner being a rich person and the naïve coming to that wealth.

If there is any affliction or the planet is weak in strength it causes early death of spouse, while the naïve may die away from his home in a country other than his own. The native may even remain unmarried or his spouse may contact some disease and thus separated from him. In this connection, position and strength of Venus should be carefully noted.

In the Ninth House

For the seventh lord to occupy the ninth house i.e. house of Luck – it indicates the native shall have the luck turning his side only after marriage. The native may enjoy many women in his life.

General influence of planets in seventh house on Marriage

General influence of planets in seventh house on Marriage

The following paragraphs describe the influence of planets on marriage and married life when placed in 7th house. It may however be kept in mind that each planet’s influence stands to modification as per the sign / star rising on the 7th house and also by aspects of other planets.

Sun

It indicates that the partner will be of independent, pround, ambitious, generous and honorable disposition, if Sun is not afflicted. Afflicted Sun on the other hand may find the partner arrogant, dominating, selfish and extravagant.

Moon

Moon’s placement in the 7th house represents the inconsistent, sensitive, impressionable nature of the partner. It is difficult to trust the partner. Moon is flirtation, eroticism and if afflicted may indicate immoral partner.

Mars

It is considered to be a very inharmonious position. It not only spoils the signification of the 7th house by its placement but also the Ascendant and second house through its aspect. 2nd house and Ascendant are the 7th and 8th house for the 7th house. The partner therefore gets boldness and courage to involve in unsocial acts. It is also not good for the health and longevity of the partner.

Mercury

It indicates a partner with sharp intellect but Mercury being bi – polar in nature it poses problems of understanding. Afflicted Mercury often results in verbal quarrels.

Jupiter

It is a planet of plurality. From 7th house it aspects the Ascendant and the 11th house and thus causes for plurality of intercourse relationship with women. Jupiter in 7th house is symbolic of a generous, optimistic healthy partner.

Saturn

Like Mars, Saturn’s position in the 7th house is seen as a signal of danger, divorce, separation, impotence etc. It gives rise to misconceptions in relations.

Venus

It is symbolic of too much passion and its affliction can cause for immorality of the partner. Venus, however, indicates that the partner will be beautiful, a lover of peace and of artistic talents.

Rahu

Its behaviour is, in general, like that of Saturn. It may cause for plurality of inter – course relationships, separation or divorce, out of caste marriage, with low caste people. The actual behaviour of Rahu should however be analyzed as per the planet it represents in the horoscope.

Ketu

Its behaviour is, in general, like that of Mars. It, therefore, symbolizes inter – course relationships, an unconventional marriage. However, its true influence should be judged as per the nature of the planet it represents in the horoscope.

Aspects of the planets in astrology

Aspects of the Planets

Both the Traditional and Western astrologers firmly believe that each planet as per its position in the Zodiac – Influences the other planets and house. This is termed as aspect.

The approach, however, of both is different. Westerns claim to be more scientific because they compute the aspects on the basis of specified longitudinal positions of planets and house cusps whereas the Traditionalists compute the aspects from sign to sign positions of the planets and houses. The Traditionalists also believe that even signs also aspect other signs in specific ways. Aspects, according to both are classified as benefics and malefics. Both believe that benefic aspects symbolize progress, harmony and concord, whereas malefic aspects denote disharmony and discord.

According to some astrologers they are not able to convince themselves of the rationale behind the theory of aspects. Behaviour of the planet, according to them, is individualistic and conditioned by its actual longitudinal degree obtained in the Zodiac at the time of birth and its placement in the cuspal positions.

Aspects of the Planets mentioned below:

Saturn

Its aspect on a planet or a house, in general tries to retard and delay events signified by that planet or house. Saturn’s aspect on Venus may cause disappointment, probably sorrow or depressed emotion, on Mars, the passionate nature will be affected, on Jupiter it may cause misfortune, degradation of social and moral faculties, and generally bringing disfavour and discredit.

Jupiter

Its aspect is generally considered as benefic. Since it is a planet of expansion and nobility and it tries to influence the planet with its own signification to bring about a pleasant and fortunate change in the affairs indicated by the aspected planet / house may be health, finance, occupation or social affairs.

Mars

When Mars aspects a planet / house the active, energetic and forceful side of the nature will be manifested. This includes bodily activity and vigour, muscular energy, the blood and its circulation, strong desires, passion, positive – ness, self – reliance, determination, disobedience, pride and strengths of will. Mars aspects may give rise to disputes and quarrels, unwise actions, extravagance etc.

Mercury

Mercury’s aspect is known to arouse the intelligence and reasoning power in the native, infuse writing or publishing instincts, love for communication etc. Depending upon its nature in Horoscope it will influence the aspected planets / houses signification through its own signification.

Venus

It rules over love, friendship, society, entertainment, is fortunate, and can bestow much financial and general success. Depending upon its nature as per its position in the horoscope, it will influence the aspected planets / houses through its own significations to cause the desirable or undesirable effects.

Sun and Moon

One represents the vital force and other is called Mind. The influence of Sun and Moon on other planets need special consideration. Depending upon their nature and strengths in the horoscope they will bring about significant changes in the affairs of the aspected planet / house.

Special Aspects and their Significations

Some Astrologers use the following aspects

Aspect of Exaltation

If a planet aspects a planet placed in the sign of exaltation of the aspecting planet, or the house where its sign of exaltation rises then the planet or the house is said to receive an aspect of Exaltation. It is believed to offer good results.

Aspect of Fall

If a planet aspects a planet placed in the sign of Debilitation of the aspecting planet or the house where its sign of debilitation rises then the planet or the house is said to receive an Aspect of Fall. It is believed to offer bad results.
