37-38. Grahas and Dhanu Lagna. Only Śukr is
inauspicious. Mangal and Sūrya are auspicious.
Sūrya and Budh are capable of conferring Yoga. Śani
is a killer, Guru is neutral. Śukr acquires killing
powers.
Sagittarius Lagna
1. Sun: Sun is the lord of 9th house, hence
is auspicious.
2. Moon: Moon is the lord of 8th house.
Since Moon does not suffer from
blemish of 8th lordship, it is neutral.
3. Mars: Mars is the lord of 5th and 12th
house, hence auspicious.
4. Mercury: Mercury is the lord of 7th and
10th house, both Kendra. Since Mercury
suffer with Kendradhipatya dosa only to
a small extent, Mercury is neutral for
this lagna. However it can participate in
the rajayoga. Association with Sun, the
9th lord can cause a first rate rajayoga.
5. Jupiter: Jupiter is the lord of the lagna
as well as the 4th house. Due to 4th
lordship it suffers from Kendradhipatya
dosa, however its lagna lordship is
auspicious, thus making it a neutral
planet.
6. Venus: Venus is the 6th as well as 11th
lord, thus a first rate inauspicious planet
for this lagna.
7. Saturn: Saturn is 2nd and 3rd lord, hence
inauspicious. It is a maraka too, being
the lord of 2nd house.
Bhavartha Ratnakara says:
1. Saturn, when in Aries, confers
prosperity during its dasa
2. This is the only ascendant for which
Saturn in 11th confers a yoga
3. If Sun and Venus are in Leo with Saturn
in Aquarius, the Saturn dasa will bring
in wealth
39-40. Grahas and Makar Lagna. Mangal, Guru and
Candr are malefics, Śukr and Budh are auspicious.
Śani will not be a killer on his own. Mangal and
other malefics will inflict death. Sūrya is neutral.
Only Śukr is capable of causing a superior Yoga.
Capricorn Lagna
1. Sun: Sun is the lord of 8th house, hence
is neutral. Sun does not suffer the
blemish of 8th lordship. Hence it would
not break any rajayoga due to its
association.
2. Moon: Moon the lord of 7th, hence is a
maraka.
3. Mars: Mars is the lord of 4th and 11th
house. 4th lordship is neutral, while 11th
lordship makes Mars an inauspicious
planet.
4. Mercury: Mercury is the lord of 6th and
9th houses. Since it owns an
inauspicious as well as an auspicious
house, it is a neutral planet. It is not
clear, why Maharishi Parashara calls it a
auspicious planet.
5. Jupiter: Jupiter is the lord of 3rd as well
as 12th lord. Being the lord of an
inauspicious as well as a neutral house,
it is an inauspicious planet for this
lagna.
6. Venus: Venus is the lord of 5th as well
as 10th house, hence a yogakaraka.
7. Saturn: Saturn is the lord of Lagna as
well as the 2nd house. However since
Lagna lord always protects the native, it
shall not be a maraka on its own.
However whichever planets it associates
with can becomes maraka.
Bhavartha Ratnakara says:
1. If Mercury is in Leo with Jupiter in
lagna and aspected by Venus, long life
is conferred, but with poverty
2. Venus in in Taurus is good; if in Libra,
though, he may not prove so fortunate
3. If Venus and Mercury are in lagna with
Moon in Taurus aspected by Jupiter, the
native is certain to become an emperor.
This is called a maharaja yoga
4. If Jupiter is in lagna with Venus and
Mars in Scorpio, brothers will give the
native riches during the Jupiter dasa
5. When Sun, Moon and Mercury are in
lagna, with Mars and Venus in
Sagittarius, the native will be replete
with wealth
6. A Saturn-Mercury combination in Virgo
confers fortune. Rahu becomes a
yogakaraka if he’s with Jupiter in
Sagittarius
7. The presence of Moon in Cancer and
Mars in lagna causes a rajayoga
