"अतीतमन्तिमादेष्यं वित्तभात्प्रविलोकयेत् ।
राहोरतीतं रवितो भावि साम्प्रतमिन्दुतः॥"
- Meaning:
→ From the 12th (vyaya) house: past,
→ From the 2nd (dhana) house: future,
→ From the bhāva
itself: present.
And,
- Rāhu
indicates the past,
- The sun indicates the future,
- Moon indicates present.
Interpretation of Life Phases
"बाल्य, यौवन, वृद्धावस्था"
are judged as:
- 12th house
from a bhāva → Childhood (past karma)
- The bhāva
itself → Youth / Middle age (present)
- 2nd from
the bhāva → Old age (future)
If:
- 12th bhāva
= weak → Childhood adversity in that area of life
- Bhāva
itself = strong → Good middle age outcome
- 2nd bhāva =
strong → Prosperous old age
But overall, bhāva’s own strength affects all three phases.
