Yog's

And one more important thing is mostly astrology refers to man as the native, but almost everything applies to women as well but, when it comes to certain things, they need to be understood as it should be applicable to women in a general sense. 

Grah (Planets) in Ascendant

The Sun in the Ascendant denotes, that the native will have less hair (on the head), be lazy in function, given to anger, will have prominent personality, be honourable, will have weak sight and coarse physique, be courageous, impatient and unkind. If the Ascendant is Cancer and is occupied by the Sun, the native will have swollen eyes, if it be Aries with Sun therein, his sight will be weak and in Leo the Sun makes him night-blind. One suffers poverty and loss of children, if the Sun occupies Libra.

The Moon in the Ascendant identical with Cancer, Taurus, or Aries indicates, that the native will be liberal beautiful, rich and enjoying pleasures greatly. The Moon in the Ascendant identical with other Signs indicates , that the native will be intensely passionate, base, deaf, distressed, dumb and will decline ( In Prosperity).

If Saturn is in the Ascendant in the other Rasi's then his own, or exaltation Rasi, the planet will give misery in boyhood, dirty disposition and indolence.

If Rahu happens to be in the Ascendant...Rahu is a Chaya Grah (Shadow planet), so it does not have any effects of its own, it gives predominantly the effects, as due to their yuti (conjoined) with a bhava Lord, or, as due to the bhava they occupy, basically it enhances the effects of the bhava lord or the bhava itself, or if posited with another Grah/planet.


If Ketu happens to be in the Ascendant....Ketu also is a Chaya Grah (Shadow planet), so it does not have any effects of its own, it gives predominantly the effects, as due to their yuti (conjoined) with a bhava Lord, or, as due to the bhava they occupy, basically it reduces or sublimes the effects of the bhava lord or the bhava itself, or if posited with another Grah/planet.

Effects of several Grah/Planets aspecting the ascendant.

General aspects to ascendant

If a planet (whether natural benefic, or natural malefic) aspects the Ascendant identical with its own Sign, that confers happiness and wealth, apart from close relationship with the king. If the Ascendant is not owned by the aspecting planet, a benefic then confers auspicious effects and a malefic evil results.

Unaspected Ascendant:Should the ascending Sign be not in aspect to even one planet, the native will be devoid of (other) qualities and will acquire exclusive qualities of the Sign concerned.

Special Effects: If two, or more planets aspect the Ascendant, the native acquires happiness and wealth. Even one benefic aspecting the Ascendant is auspicious, while a malefic so aspecting is inauspicious. If the Ascendant is aspected by all the planets one rules over the earth. Should all the planets be endowed with strength, he will enjoy all kinds of happiness, be free from fear and be long-lived.

ADHI YOGA from a Ascendant. If benefics exclusively occupy the 6^th, 7^th and 8^th, without the company of malefic, Lagnadhi Yoga is caused. This Yoga confers minister ship, leadership over Army (justice ship) and kingship, lordship over many women, long life, freedom from diseases and miseries, possession of virtues and happiness. So said Yavana kings.

A planet in own sign or in exaltation .friendly sign, according to the sages, confers its effects fully, If it is in fall, or is in an inimical place, it is incapable of giving the results (due to the above mentioned yoga)

Effects of Lagna Lord in Various Bhavas

1. Lagna’s Lord be in Lagna itself or Tanu Bhava or First House, the native will be endowed with physical happiness and prowess. He will be intelligent, fickle-minded, will have two wives and will unite with other females.

2. If the Lagna’s Lord is in Dhana Bhava or 2nd house, he will be gainful, scholarly, happy, endowed with good qualities, be religious, honorable and will have many wives.

3. If Lagna’s Lord is in Sahaja Bhava or 3rd House, the native will equal a lion in valor, be endowed with all kinds of wealth, be honorable, will have two wives, be intelligent and happy.

4. If Lagna’s Lord is in Bandhu Bhava or 4th house, the native will be endowed with paternal and maternal happiness, will have many brothers, be lustful, virtuous and charming.

5. If Lagna’s Lord is in Putra Bhava or 5th house, the native will have mediocre progeny happiness, will lose his first child, be honorable, given to anger and be dear to king.

6. If Lagna’s Lord is in Ari Bhava or 6th house and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic drishti.

7. If Lagna’s Lord is a malefic and is placed in Yuvati Bhava or 7th house, the natives wife will not live (long). If the Grah in question is a benefic, one will wander aimlessly, face penury and be dejected. He will alternatively become a king (if the said Grah is strong).

8. If Lagna’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava or 8th house, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others’ wives.

(12) If Lagna’s Lord is in Vyaya Bhava or 12th house and is devoid of benefic Drishti and/or Yuti, the native will be bereft of physical happiness, will spend unfruitful and be given to much anger.

Grahs/planets in various Signs and houses with Lagna

Grahas/planets and Mesha ( Aries) Lagna.

Even though Mangal is the Lord of Randhra Bhava (8th house), he will be helpful to auspicious Grahas. Sani (Saturn), Budh (Mercury) and Sukra (Venus) are malefic.

Auspicious are Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun). The mere Yuti of Sani with Guru will not produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kon (angle) and a Kendra(Quadrant)). If Guru is at the disposal of a malefic, he will surely give inauspicious results. Sukra is a direct (independent) killer. Sani etc. will also inflict death, if associated with an adverse Grah (Sukra).

Grahas/planets and Vrishabh(Taurus) Lagna.

Guru, Sukra and Chandra are malefic. Śani and Sūrya are auspicious. Sani will cause Raj Yog. Budh is somewhat inauspicious. The Guru group (Guru, Chandra and Sukra) and Mangal will inflict death.

Grahas/planets and Mithun (Gemini) Lagna.

Mangal, Guru and Surya are malefic, while Sukra is the only auspicious Grah. The Yuti of Guru with Śani is similar to that for Mesh Lagna. Chandra is the prime killer, but it is dependant on her association.

Grahas/planets and Kark(Cancer) Lagna.

Sukra and Budh are malefic, Mangal, Guru and Chandra are auspicious. Mangal is capable of conferring a full-fledged Yog and giving auspicious effects. Sani and Surya are killers and give effects, according to their associations.

Grahas/planets and Simha(Leo) Lagna.

Budh, Sukra and Sani are malefic. Auspicious effects will be given by Mangal, Guru and Surya. Guru’s Yuti with Sukra (though, respectively, Kon and Kendra Lords) will not produce auspicious results. Śani and Chandra are killers, who will give effects, according to their associations.

Grahas/planets and Kanya (Virgo)Lagna.

Mangal, Guru and Chandra are malefic, while Budh and Sukra are auspicious. Sukra’s Yuti with Budh will produce Yog. Sukra is a killer as well. Surya’s role will depend on his association.

Grahas/planets and Tula (Libra) Lagna.

Guru, Surya and Mangal are malefic. Auspicious are sani and Budh. Chandra and Budh will cause Raj Yog. Mangal is a killer. Guru and other malefics will also acquire a disposition to inflict death. Śukra is neutral.

Grahas/planets and Vrischik(Scorpio) Lagna.

Sukra, Budh and Sani are malefic. Guru and Chandra are auspicious. Surya, as well as Chandra are Yog Karakas. Mangal is neutral. Sukra and other malefics acquire the quality of causing death.

Grahas/planets and Dhanus ( Sagittarius) Lagna.

Only Sukra is inauspicious. Mangal and Surya are auspicious. Surya and Budh are capable of conferring a Yog. Śani is a killer, Guru is neutral. Sukra acquires killing powers.

Grahas/planets and Makar (Capricorn) Lagna.

Mangal, Guru and Chandra are malefic, Sukra and Budh are auspicious. Sani will not be a killer on his own. Mangal and other malefics will inflict death. Surya is neutral. Only Sukra is capable of causing a superior Yog.

Grahas/planets and Kumbh (Aquarius) Lagna.

Guru, Chandra and Mangal are malefic, while Sukra and Sani are auspicious. Sukra is the only Grah, that causes Raj Yog. Guru, Surya and Mangal are killers. Budh gives meddling effects.

Grahas/planets and Meen (Pisces) Bhava.

Sani, Sukra, Surya and Budh are malefic. Mangal and Chandra are auspicious. Mangal and Guru will cause a Yog. Though Mangal is a killer, he will not kill the native (independently). Sani and Budh are killers.

General.

Thus the auspicious and inauspicious effects, derivable through the Grahas, due to their lordship, according to the rising Rasi/Sign, have to be estimated.

Yog'a due to various combinations of Grah/planets and signs etc.

If there be a benefic in Lagna, Subh Yog (Subh = Auspicious) is produced, while a malefic in Lagna causes Asubh Yog (Asubh = Inauspicious)

One born in Subh Yog will be eloquent, charming and virtuous, while his counterpart will be sensuous, will do sinful acts and will enjoy (swallow) others’ wealth.

Gaj (Elephant) Kesari Yog.

Should Guru be in a Kendra (Quadrant) from Lagna (Ascendant), or from Chandra and be yuti (conjoined) , or receiving a Drishti from benefic, avoiding at the same time debilitation, combustion and inimical Rasi, Gaj Kesari Yog is caused. One born in Gaj Kesari Yog will be splendorous, wealthy, intelligent, endowed with many laudable virtues and will please the king.

Amal Yog. If there be exclusively a benefic in the 10^th from Lagna, or Chandra, Amal Yog exists. Amal Yog will confer fame, lasting till Chandra (Moon) and stars exist and will make the native honored by the king, enjoy abundant pleasures, charitable, fond of relatives, helpful to others, pious and virtuous

Chamar Yog. If Lagna’s Lord is exalted in a Kendra (Quadrant) and receives a Drishti (Aspect) from Guru (Jupiter), Chamar Yog is formed. This Yog also occurs, if two benefics are in Lagna, or Dharma (9th house), or Karma (10th house), or Yuvati (7th house) Bhava. The effects of Chamar Yog are: the native will be a king, or honored by the king, long lived, scholarly, eloquent and versed in all arts.

Maha Raj Yog: Should Lagna's lord and Putra's (5th house) lord exchange their Rasis/signs or If Atma karaka )Th eplanet with highest longitude in degrees) and Putra Karaka (Th eplanet with 5th highest longitude in degrees) are in Lagna or in Putra bhava or in exaltation Rasi, or n won Rasi or in Own Navamsa receiving a dhristi from a benefic, Maha Raj Yog happens, the native so born will be famous and very happy.

If Lagna's lord and Atma Karaka are in Tanu, Putra or Yuvati bhava, yuti with or receiving a dhristi from a benefic, a raj yog is formed.

An exchange of Rasis between Karma’s Lord and Lagna’s Lord will make the native associated with the king in a great manner.

Penniless Yog:

If malefics, excepting the Lords of Karma and Dharm Bhava, happen to be in Lagna, associated with, or receiving a Drishti from Marak Grahas, one will become penniless.

I will deal about Marak Grah's in one of my future posts, for now you can understand them as malefics.

Female Horoscopy-Few points peculiar to Females only

The Moon and Ascendant: If the Moon and the Ascendant are both disposed in even Signs, the female will be virtuous and extremely good-looking. Should these two be in aspect to auspicious planets, she will be endowed with ornaments and virtues. In case these two occupy odd Signs, she will be akin to a male in appearance and in disposition.

With these two receiving aspects of malefic, she will be sinful and bereft of virtues.

Conclusion

Jupiter and Moon in Lagna give good character to the native- eg. Lord Rama
Moon, Jupiter and Venus, give nice features and appearance to the native, if they are present independently or together in the first house with Lagna.

Sun in Lagna would add brilliance to the appearance of the native,
Moon will add pale color,
Mars if added to this would add aggression and valour,
Mercury will add its excellent memory and intelligence and communicaitons skills,
Saturn will add dark color and may be physical ailments depending on the Rasi they occupy.

If Mars and Saturn are posited together in the 1st house, it is a sure case and If Rahu joins them the effects are enhanced and If Ketu joins them then the effects are reduced and aloofness in people is caused.

When these things are deduced the race of the native need to be considered, 

To follow.....Three or more planets in a house at the time of birth and their combined effects on the native.

The Bhava, which is not drishtied by its Lord, or, whose Lord is with a malefic Grah (Planet), or with one of the Lords of evil and such other Bhavas (i.e. 3^rd, 6^th, 8^th, 11^th and 12^th), or is defeated in a war between Grahas, or is in one of the three Avasthas, viz, Vriddhavastha (Old age), Mritavastha ( Dead) and Suptavastha (Sleeping).

Effects of Tanu Bhava or the First house.

1-2. Physical comforts. Should Lagna Lord be yuti (conjoined) with a malefic, or be in Randhra, 6^th, or 12^th, physical felicity will diminish. If he is in an angle, or trine there will be at all times comforts of the body. If Lagna Lord is in debilitation, combustion, or enemy’s Rāśi, there will be diseases. With a benefic in an angle, or trine all diseases will disappear. Lagna’s angles (i.e. Bandhu, Yuvati, or the 10^th), or its trine (Putra, Dharm), containing a benefic, is a powerful remedy for all, related to health.

3. There will not be bodily health, if Lagna, or Chandra be drishtied by, or yuti ( Conjoined) with a malefic, being devoid of a benefics Drishti.

4. Bodily Beauty. A benefic in Lagna will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance. Felicity of the body will be enjoyed, if Lagna is drishtied by, or yuti with a benefic.

5-7. Other Benefits. If Lagna Lord, Budh (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), or Sukra (Venus) be in an angle, or in a trine, the native will be long lived, wealthy, intelligent and liked by the king. Fame, wealth, abundant pleasures and comforts of the body will be acquired, if Lagna Lord is in a Movable Rasi and be drishtied by a benefic Grah. One will be endowed with royal marks (of fortune), if Budh, Guru, or Sukra be in Lagna along with the Chandra (Moon), or be in angle from Lagna. If Budh, Guru, or Sukra be in 4^th, 7^th, or 10^th from Lagna, or be in the company of Chandra in Lagna, the native will enjoy royal fortunes.

8. Coiled Birth. If there be a birth in one of Mesh (Aries), Vrishabh (Taurus) and Simha (Leo) Lagna's, containing either Sani (Saturn), or Mangal (Mars), the birth of the child is with a coil around a limb. The corresponding limb will be in accordance with the Rasi, or Navamsa, rising.

9. Birth of Twins. The native, who has Surya (Sun) in a quadruped Rasi, while others are in Dual Rasis with strength, is born, as one of the twins.

10. To Be Nurtured by Three Mothers. If Surya and Chandra join in one and the same Bhava and fall in one Navamsa, the native will be nurtured by three different mothers for the first three months from its birth and will later on be brought up by its father and brother. (‘Bhratri’ apart from meaning a brother calls for interpretation, as a near relative in general).

11. Important. The learned in Jyotish (Astrology) should base the effects on Chandra also, as are applicable to Lagna. Now explained are clues to know of ulcers, identity marks etc. on one’s person.

12-14. Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rasi ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf and foot. The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body).

15. Limbs Affected. The limb, related to a malefic by occupation, will have ulcers, or scars, while the one, related to a benefic, will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis. (Also see Sloka 6, Ch. 4 of Saravali, which states, that a malefic, or a benefic, if be in own Rasi, or Navamsa, the effects will be right from birth. In other cases it will be in the course of one’s life, that these effects will come to pass).

This is at one level of understanding, then there are other levels like, Properties of each sign or house, like if the first house is Aries, then the intelligence, health and self will change based on the properties of Aries, and if it is Gemini, then a duality in character would be enhanced, this person is like two people living in one body, and sometimes it is so amazing that, you can see this person as an out and out Extrovert to a total Introvert, what controls this behavior depends on stimulants, which again are based on various Grahs (Planets), then the properties of Grah (Planets) posited in this house, then Special lagnas, Upa Grah's, then Arudhas, well it does get complicated, but aren't our lives complicated..........
