Yogakarakas-4

41-42. Grahas and Kumbh Lagn. Guru, Candr and
Mangal are malefics, while Śukr and Śani are
auspicious. Śukr is the only Grah, that causes Raj
Yog. Guru, Sūrya and Mangal are killers. Budh gives
meddling effects.
Aquarius Lagna
1. Sun: Sun is the lord of 7th house, hence
is a maraka.
2. Moon: Moon is the lord of the 6th house,
hence is inauspicious.
3. Mars: Mars is the lord of 3rd as well as
10th house. 10th lordship of Mars is
neutral whereas 3rd lordship is
inauspicious making it an inauspicious
planet for the lagna.
4. Mercury: Mercury is the lord of 5th as
well as 8th house. Due to 8th lordship,
even though, it is a auspicious planet for

the lagna, it will cause any raja yoga
due to association with kendra lord.
5. Jupiter: Jupiter is the 2nd as well as 11th
lord. 11th lordship makes it an
inauspicious planet. In addition due to
lordship of 2nd house, it becomes a
maraka too.
6. Venus: Venus is the lord of 4th and 9th
house, hence is auspicious and a
yogakaraka too.
7. Saturn: Saturn is the Lagna lord as well
as 12th lord. 12th lordship being neutral,
Saturn becomes an auspicious planet for
this lagna.
Bhavartha Ratnakara says:
1. For both Aquarius and Leo ascendant
natives, the mere association of the 9th
and 10th lords doesn’t confer any
rajayoga
2. If Venus and Rahu are in lagna with
Sun in Scorpio, yoga will be caused in
the dasas of Rahu and Jupiter
3. If Sun and Mars are in Virgo, the native
suffers during their dasas. The Mercury
dasa will be better
4. Jupiter in lagna with Saturn in Pisces
will see mixed results during the Jupiter
dasa and an ordinary time during the
Saturn dasa
5. If Saturn and Venus are in Sagittarius,
the Venus dasa proves fortunate
6. A Sun-Mercury-Jupiter combine in
Aries is good, especially during the Sun
dasa when the native enjoys power
43-44. Grahas and Meen Bhava. Śani, Śukr, Sūrya
and Budh are malefics. Mangal and Candr are
auspicious. Mangal and Guru will cause a Yoga.
Though Mangal is a killer, he will not kill the native
(independently). Śani and Budh are killers.
Pisces Lagna
1. Sun: Sun is the lord of 6th house, hence
inauspicious.
2. Moon: Moon is the lord of 5th house,
hence an auspicious planet.
3. Mars: Mars is the lord of 2nd as well as
9th lord. 2nd lordship is neutral and 9th is
auspicious, hence Mars is auspicious for
this lagna. Being the 2nd lord it is a
maraka too.
4. Mercury: Mercury is the lord of 7th and
10th. Since suffers from Kendradhipatya
dosa only mildly, it is a mild malefic.
Being the lord of 7th, it is a maraka too,
however it shall give the results with
association.
5. Jupiter: Jupiter is the Lagna as well as
10th lord. 10th lordship of Jupiter is
neutral, hence being the lagna lord it is
auspicious for this lagna.
6. Venus: Venus is the 3rd and 8th lord. 8th
lordship is neutral whereas 3rd is
inauspicious, hence Venus is
inauspicious.
7. Saturn: Saturn is the 11th and 12th lord.
12th lordship is neutral whereas 11th is
inauspicious, making Saturn an
inauspicious planet for this lagna.
Maharishi Parashara additionally says
that Saturn is a Maraka too.
Bhavartha Ratnakara says:
1. While Venus in 12th produces benefic
results for all other ascendants, this isn’t
the case for either Pisces or Aquarius
2. Saturn in Aquarius is good. However, if
Moon is in Aquarius, the native suffers
poverty (though there’s an alleviation of
this in Jupiter dasa, Moon bhukti)
3. Jupiter in Cancer will bestow more
daughters than sons
4. If Moon is in Aries and Mars in Cancer,
Moon’s dasa brings wealth
5. If Moon and Mars are in Capricorn,
Jupiter in Leo, Venus in Libra and
Saturn in Scorpio, the native will be
highly fortunate
6. A Moon-Mercury-Mars combine in
Capricorn is an indicator of wealth and
conveyances
7. If Saturn and Moon are in lagna, Mars
in Capricorn and Venus in Leo, predict
fortune for the native
8. If Mercury, Jupiter, Moon and Mars are
in lagna, the dasas of these planets bring
in immense fame, power and prosperity
9. Jupiter posited in Sagittarius certainly
causes a rajayoga
10. If Moon is in Taurus, Sun in Leo,
Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Libra,
Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in
Aquarius and Mars in Capricorn,
there’ll be much fortune to the native.
Even if one or two of these
combinations are absent, there’ll still
the full effects of a rajayoga
45-46. General. Thus the auspicious and inauspicious
effects, derivable through the Grahas, due to their
lordship, according to the rising Rāśi, have to be
estimated. Apart the effects, due to Nabhash Yogas
etc., should also be known, which I narrate, as under
