लग्नादिमन्दान्तफलैक्यसंख्या-
वर्षे विपत्तिस्तु तथार्कपुत्रात् ।
यावद्विलग्गान्तफलानि तस्मिन्-
नाशो हि तद्योगसमानवर्षे ॥ १४॥
This rule from the Ashtakavarga system is a predictive technique for
identifying years of distress, danger, or disaster in the native’s life.
It uses Saturn’s bindu distribution between Lagna and Saturn’s position to mark
sensitive periods. Here's a structured breakdown:
Step-by-Step Method
1. Identify Lagna and Saturn’s Rāśi (sign)
- Note the
sign of the Ascendant (Lagna).
- Note the
sign occupied by Saturn in the birth chart.
2. Use Saturn’s
Bhinna Ashtakavarga
- Refer to
the individual Ashtakavarga chart of Saturn, which shows bindu
counts for each sign.
3. Count bindus
from Lagna to Saturn (inclusive)
- Move forward
through the zodiac from Lagna to Saturn.
- Include
both Lagna and Saturn’s sign.
- Add up the
benefic bindus in these signs from Saturn’s AV.
4. Count bindus from Saturn to Lagna (inclusive)
- Move backwards
through the zodiac from Saturn to Lagna.
- Again,
include both Saturn and Lagna’s sign.
- Add up the
benefic bindus in these signs from Saturn’s AV.
5. Interpret the Two Totals
- Each total
represents a year in the native’s life.
- These years
are said to bring distress, danger, or disaster.
Example (Hypothetical)
- Lagna =
Aries
- Saturn =
Virgo
- Forward
signs: Aries → Taurus → Gemini → Cancer → Leo → Virgo
- Backward
signs: Virgo → Leo → Cancer → Gemini → Taurus → Aries
- Saturn’s AV
bindus in these signs:
- Aries = 3,
Taurus = 4, Gemini = 5, Cancer = 2, Leo = 3, Virgo = 6
- Forward sum
= 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 23
- Backward
sum = same signs → same total = 23
So, 23rd year and 23rd year again (reinforced) may bring
distress or danger.
Interpretive Insight
- Saturn
governs karma, suffering, and longevity.
- This method
uses bindu strength to mark karmically sensitive years.
- The directional
movement (Lagna → Saturn vs Saturn → Lagna) may
reflect:
- External
events vs internal consequences
- If both
totals point to the same year, it may be especially critical.
