Karma Bhava- 10th House- B P H S

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

The Karma Bhava/10th Bhava/House from the Ascendant relates to Action, Fame, Career growth, profession, karma (action), conduct in society,  honors, awards, self-respect, dignity, knees.

The general understanding about this bhava is that it deals with your job and your capacity to earn, I would say NO, Job as a mere mode of earning is handled by 6th house, and the grah/planets present in them, lord of the 6th house and any dhristi of a grah on 6th house. and income is handled by 2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th and 11th, 10th bhava gives the career growth.

Profession and career are at the base level, role in public office (Government of Private) and nation as a society stands at the top level of this bhava, meaning a President of a Nation might not have any Grah/Planet in this Bhava, because for such a President the presidency is just a Job to earn some money and not to use that opportunity to pool all actions towards a constructive nation building. 

Another President with loaded 10th bhava might do something so considerable and positive or negative also, depending on the auspiciousness of this bhava.

Example, of a social contribution which can be used for negative purpose as well as positive purpose is of Albert Einstein, he had, Venus ( Exalted), Saturn, Mercury (Debilitated) and Sun in this bhava, Rahu and Mars in 8th house (Debilitated), Ketu in 2nd and Jupiter in the Dharma bhava (9th bhava) and Moon in 6th, Lagna (Ascendant) Gemini, and we know what he did to us, (E= MC(Square)) a simple formula changed the whole world and still we are dealing with it, well again this has been used for positive as well as negative purposes, but his intention would have always to remain positive only, but the circumstance in those day were such that his gift to the world was used for a negative purpose. 

The 10th Bhava from Ascendant gives the real active mentality of the native with respect to his actions towards others, it has nothing to do with what world thinks about him, to see what world thinks about him, we have to see the 10th bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL), so for Albert Einstein, it is Gemini with Ascendant, the world perceived him as a ordinary, but very intelligent peer, but nothing very special, I am talking about the time when he was not "The Albert Einstein", because the loaded 10th from AL would confer the properties with or without any achievement, but in reality Albert Einstein was a Sensual individual, must have been a kind of ladies man and mostly he would have been liked by most of the opposite sex, given the exalted Venus in 10th (Pisces), very hard working, and might have worked very hard for what ever he achieved - Saturn in 10th, and Sun in 10th might have given him the radiance of the Sun and a great desire to withhold the public power, and a debilitated mercury, would have worked through his revenues by keeping him low on income and might have given him an ability to gamble. but above all the exchange between lord of 9th, Saturn and lord of 10th Jupiter, confer a kind of Raj yoga, and we all know what it is.

The 10th bhava effects are seen from

a) 10th Bhava from the Ascendant,
b) 10th bhava from Chandra (Moon),
c) Surya (Sun) in 10th from Moon and in Navamsa,
d) 10th from 10th, which will be 8th from Ascendant,
e) Dashamsa (D-10), Divisional chart.
f) 10th bhava in Dashamsa (D-10)
g) Chandra ( Moon) in Dashamsa (D-10)
h) Lord of 10th bhava and its position from Chandra (Moon) i) Lord of 10th bhava ( Rasi chart) in Dashamsa (D-10)

The 10th Bhava, should also be seen from Ascendant, Arudha Lagna, Moon, Hora Lagna, Sree Lagna and Ghati Lagna.

Karma-Sthana- 10th Bhava/House from Ascendant, and If the significator is-

Surya (Sun).

Status, Pride, Social Rights, Responsibility, Independent views, help from Government, politicians, Officers, Power, Executive abilities.

Chandra (Moon)

Fame, Ability to deal with women and children.

Mangala (Mars),

Executive Abilities, proactive.

Budh (Mercury)

Professions and Careers, excellence in education, marketing, public relations, sales, communications, intuition, intelligence.

Guru (Jupiter)
 

Prosperity, Growth, Fame, Respect,Teacher, special ability in dealing with educational systems and culture.

Sani (Saturn)

Works, Actions, Karma, special ability to deal with fear and famine, hard working unionist.

Rahu

Ketu

10th Bhava represents the Mid -Heaven, 2nd in importance only to the Ascendant, low ashtakavarga "bindu", in this bhava can weaken the bhava considerably, bhavas whose lords posited in the 10th bhava gain considerable strength and the activities ruled by them succeed, any grah/planet in 10th bhava is independently capable of giving good yoga, that could mean, power, rise, and success, Surya (Sun) and Mangala (Mars) that get directional strength in the 10th bhava can be a great blessings in any chart providing dynamism and success, 7th bhava being the pada of the 10th bhava, should also be studied, as the 7th bhava rules business, promotes business, and strong 7th bhava gives an entitlement for independent business.

Effects of Karma Bhava: BPHS

1. I now explain the effects of Karma Bhava. Listen to these, o Maitreya, in the words of Brahma, Garga and others.

2. Paternal Happiness.

If Karma’s Lord is strong and in exaltation, or in its own Rasi/Navamsa, the native will derive extreme paternal happiness, will enjoy fame and will perform good deeds.

3. If Karma’s Lord is devoid of strength, the native will face obstructions in his work. If Rahu is in an angle, or in a trine, he will perform religious sacrifices, like Jyotishtoma.

4. If Karma’s Lord is with a benefic, or be in an auspicious Bhava, one will always gain through royal patronage and in business. In a contrary situation, only opposite results will come to pass.

5. Should Karma and Labha Bhava be both occupied by malefics, the native will indulge only in bad deeds and will defile his own men.

6. If the Lord of Karma Bhava is relegated to Randhr Bhava along with Rahu, the native will hate others; be a great fool and will do bad deeds.

7. If Sani (Saturn), Mangal and Karma’s Lord are in Yuvati, as Yuvati’s Lord is with a malefic, the native will be fond of carnal pleasures and of filling his belly.

8-10 Should Karma’s Lord be in exaltation and be in the company of Guru (Jupiter), as Dharma’s Lord is in Karma the native will be endowed with honor, wealth and valor.

One will lead a happy life, if Labha’s Lord is in Karma and Karma’s Lord is in Lagna, or, if the Lord of Karma Bhava is yuti with the Lord of Labha Bhava in an angle.

Should Karma’s Lord in strength be in Meen (Pisces) along Guru, the native will doubtless obtain robes, ornaments and happiness.

11. Should Rahu, Surya, Sani (Saturn) and Mangal be in Labha Bhava, the native will incur cessation of his duties.

12. One will be learned and wealthy, if Guru (Jupiter) is in Meen along with Sukra (Venus), while Lagna’s Lord is strong and Chandra ( Moon) is in exaltation.

13. Should Karma’s Lord be in Labha (11th), while Labha’s Lord is in Tanu Bhava (First Bhava) and Sukra is in Karma, the native will be endowed with precious stones.

14. If the Karma’s Lord is exalted in an angle, or a trine and is yuti (Conjoined) with Guru, or receives a Drishti from Guru, one will be endowed with deeds.

15. Should Karma’s Lord be in Lagna along with Lagna’s Lord, as Chandra is in an angle, or in a trine, the native will be interested in good deeds.

16. If Sani (Saturn) is in Karma Bhava along with a debilitated Graha, while Karma Bhava in the Navamsa Kundali is occupied by a malefic, the native will be bereft of acts.

17. One will indulge in bad acts, if Karma’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava (8th), while Randhr’s Lord is in Karm Bhava with a malefic.

18. Obstructions to the native’s acts will crop up, if Karma’s Lord is in fall, as both Karma Bhava and the 10^th from Karma Bhava have malefic occupations.

19-21. Combinations for Fame.

One will be endowed with fame, if Chandra is in Karma Bhava, while Karma’s Lord is in a trine from Karma Bhava and Lagna’s Lord is in Lagna’s angle, similar effects will come to pass, if Labha’s Lord is in Karma Bhava, while Karma’s Lord is strong and gives a Drishti to Guru (Jupiter).

Fame will come to the native, if Karma’s Lord is in Dharma Bhava, as Lagna’s Lord is in Karma Bhava and Chandra is in Putra Bhava.

22. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been told about the effects of Karma Bhava in a brief manner. Other related effects be guessed by you based on the relationship of the Lords of Lagna and of Karma Bhava.

Effects of Grah/Planets in Karma Bhava/ 10th Bhava/House.

If Sun occupies 10^th, the native will be extremely intelligent, rich, strong and will be endowed with conveyances, relatives and sons, will succeed in his undertakings, be valorous, unconquerable and great.

If Moon occupies 10^th, the native will not suffer grief, be dutiful, successful in his undertakings, affluent, pure, very strong, valorous and charitable.

If Mars occupies 10^th, the native will be proficient in his acts, be valorous, unconquerable, will serve important people, be endowed with sons and happiness and be very courageous.

If Mercury occupies 10^th, the native will possess distinguished intelligence, will perform distinguished acts, will attain fruition in undertakings, be very learned, courageous, strong and will be endowed with various kinds of ornaments.

If Jupiter occupies 10^th, the native will attain successful beginning in his undertaking, be honorable, effort full and will be endowed with abundant welfare, happiness, wealth, relatives, conveyances and fame.

If Venus occupies 10^th, the native will earn success in litigations and will be endowed with happiness, sexual unions, honor, wealth, fame and great wisdom.

If Saturn occupies 10^th, the native will be wealthy, learned, valorous and be a minister, or a justice, or be the leader of a group, city, or village.

If Rahu occupies 10th, It is the desire to reach the top position in the social hierarchy, and the native opts for very unusual and manipulative, as the native starts this journey from the lower stratas of the society, the native goes through sudden jerks in his persona and leadership qualities, the focus of the native is on the public admiration and recognition as an public respected figure, and the native moves up using the instabilities and spaces in the social hierarchy.

If Ketu occupies 10th, A very withdrawn individual, who lacks public recognition and confirmation for his/her contributions, its all in the mind, the thinking, feeling, the gravity to pull himself/herself back 'cause they do not have anything to offer to the masses, the knowledge of public appearances, poise, dignity, honor, humility, lack but they do gain it slowly through their own status. once gained might try to pull himself/herself apart from the great expectations that lay on his shoulders, it is like they get shocked by the sudden spotlight.

The Rahu makes a individual a Extrovert and Ketu makes the same individual an Introvert.

Karma bhava-10th bhava/house- Argala ( Intervention)

Argala is intervention of Grah/planets, which can be Sukha- Argala, meaning intervention for good, and Papa-Argala, meaning Intervention for bad.

Ascendant has Sukha-Argala on the 10th bhava, if the grah/planets in 10th bhava and Ascendant are friendly, then the native will experience satisfaction and if the Grah/planets are inimical then the the native will experience dissatisfaction.

11th bhava has Dhana-Argala on 10th bhava, meaning the Grah/planets in 11th bhava will have bearing on the fruits of the actions by the Grah/planets in 10th bhava and 8th bhava has Labha-Argala on 10th bhava, meaning the grah/planets in 8th bhava will determine the end of career/work etc.

Lord of 10th in various bhavas:

Lord of 10th in Ascendant: Strong leadership qualities, and easy public recognition if it is exalted or strong, and in case of the lord of 10th being in fall, might not do well in his career due to his/her own self esteem issues, 10th lord in Ascendant confers Simhasana yoga- meaning kingly status after the middle years.

Lord of 10th in 2nd bhava: Direction of Karma and source of fortunes, family business will be source of livelihood, if the 10th lord is afflicted the family business wil be disrupted and misfortune to the native, strength of Jupiter and significtor of family deity is a crucial factor, 2nd house indicates food, and hotel industry, and the significator of hotel industry is Moon and if Moon influences 10th lord, success is sure.

Lord of 10th in 3rd bhava: Constant travelling and short journeys specially if Venus joins 10th lord, co-corns will further the career of the native.

Lord of 10th bhava is debilitated: Native will face obstruction.

Lord of 10th is Exalted or strong: Extreme happiness and will enjoy fame and will perform good deeds.

Lord of 10th with Benefic or aspected by a benefic: Gains through royal patronage and in business.

The results will be opposite if the 10th lord is aspected or conjoined with a malefic.

If the lord of 10th in 5th bhava: Research occult studies, gambling, speculation, growth and achievement, service to orphans, handicapped, old and sick people, and If Jupiter and Moon are present in the 8th, they will damage the above effects.

Note: I will complete this section with other bhavas later.

Lords of various bhavas in Karma bhava.

Lord of 1st in Karma bhava: Strong leadership, easy public recognition if exalted or strong, and if in fall, might spoil his/her career due to self esteem problems.

Lord of 2nd in karma bhava: A good leader with strong morals and principles, enriches his/her leadership with culture and business ideas.

Lord of 3rd in Karma bhava: Public relations, might need public approval for every action, and might not be able to protect the monetary interest of the society at large.

Lord of 4th in Karma bhava: Very popular and trusted leader but only at the root level and not at the national level, might lack global instinct.

Lord of 5th in karma bhava: A strong leader who would like to play and create or gamble, might be very uncomfortable in the role of a director, but would do extremely well in industry of theatre.

Lord of 6th in Karma bhava: The native of this kind can be extremely good at handling leadership in areas that involve conflicts like police, Army, medicine, debt, divorce, loans etc.

Lord of 7th in Karma bhava:Auspicious, Particularly good results in administrative law, judgeship, policy and planning, human relations/human resources, diplomacy, and other agreement-seeking disciplines.

Lord of 8th in Karma bhava:The house of Saturn dislikes change and this native might shun change, the native adopts a very linear approach, like I want to go up inch by inch and if matched with someone who want to scale everest overnight, conflicts would arise and thenative might change his location but would not change or adapt to the existing conditions.

Lord of 9th in Karma bhava: Good leadership for thepeople and the native, brings some great value to the leadership role and might have a very broad view point if the Grah is auspicious and this native might take the leadership as a responsibility towards the society, understand law and self righteous, and would be trusted by people he/she would lead.

Lord of 10th in Karma bhava: In a way the best position for the lord of 10th, the native might have a global perspective and is well suited for multinational corporation, mega plans and large scale projects, all planets would give an extra edge as a team player except Surya ( Sun) here is too independent, Saturn would be the best.

Lord of 11th in Karma bhava: This position is not suitable for the financial position of the native himself/herself, he/she might bring some knowledge to the administration but would remain aloof, the native might connect people and commerce.

Lord of 12th in Karma bhava: The Lord of Vyaya bhava in Karma bhava, it is a difficult proposition, the native would loose for the benefit of the organization, not a candidate for open arguments and discussions, would like to operate behind close doors and make secret contracts, so the advisers might remain at loggerheads with the native, good at international levels and plays.

Randhr Bhava 8th House

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Randhra bhava (Hole) the 8th house from Lagna (Ascendant) the house of evil, is a dusthana (bad house), the best grah/planet to occupy this house is a grah/planet in fall, and a benefic like Venus or Jupiter should occupy to confer long life, and If a Malefic occupies this house the dark side gets activated and the native might be inclined towards evil activities, and his or her nature would be evil, this house sustains the 7thhouse so malefics ilke Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu would cause destruction of marriage, but if the 9th house which sustains the 8th house is stronger than the 8th house by presence of a benefic like Jupiter, then the the 8th house or the dark side of the native will remain recessive.

The 8th house is related to longevity, debts, disease, ill-fame, inheritance, loss of friends, occult studies, evils, gifts, unearned wealth, windfall, disgrace, secrets, and genitals.

Effects of Randhra Bhava: BPHS 

1. Long Life. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me speak on the effects of Randhr Bhava. If Randhr’s Lord is in an angle, long life is indicated. 

2. Short Life. Should Randhr’s Lord join Lagna’s Lord, or a malefic and be in Randhr itself, the native will be short lived.

3. Sani (Saturn) and Karma’s Lord about Longevity. Similarly consider Sani (Saturn) and Karma’s Lord in the matter of longevity. Karma’s Lord is in Randhr along with a malefic Grah and/or Lagna’s Lord.

4-7. Long Life. There will be long life, if Ari’s Lord ( Lord of the 6th) is in Vyaya, or, if Ari’s Lord is in Ari, as Vyaya’s Lord (Lord of the 12th) is in Vyaya, or, if Ari’s Lord and Vyaya’s Lord are in Lagna (Ascendant) and Randhr (8th). If the Lords of Putra (5th house),

Randhr and Tanu Bhava (First House) are in own Navamsa (D-9), own Rasis, or in friendly Rasis, the native will enjoy a long span of life. Should the Lords of Lagna, Randhr and Karma Bhava (10th House) and Sani (Saturn) are all disposed severally in an angle, in a trine, or in Labha Bhava (11th house), the subject will live long.

Like these, there are many other Yogas, dealing with the issue of longevity. The strength and weakness of the Grahs concerned be estimated in deciding longevity.

8-13. Short Life. One’s span of life will be between 20 and 32 years, if Lagna’s Lord is weak, while Randhr’s Lord is an angle. The native will only be short-lived, if Randhr’s Lord is in fall, while Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it and Tanu Bhava is bereft of strength.

Death will be instant at birth, if Randhr Bhava, Randhr’s Lord and Vyaya Bhava (12th) are all conjunct malefics. Malefics in angles and/or trines and benefics in Ari and/or Randhr Bhava, while Tanu Bhava has in it Randhr’s Lord in fall: this Yoga will cause immediate end. 

If Putr and Randhr Bhava and Randhr’s Lord are all conjunct malefics, the life span will be very brief. Within a month of birth, death will befall the child, if Randhr’s Lord is in Randhr itself, while Chandra (Moon) is with malefics and be bereft of beneficial Drishti.

14-15. Long Life (again). One will be long-lived, if Lagna’s Lord is in exaltation, while Chandra and Guru are, respectively, in Labha and Randhr Bhava. If Lagna’s Lord is exceedingly strong and receives a Drishti from a benefic, which is placed in an angle, the person concerned will be wealthy, virtuous and long-lived.

Kalyana Varma's Saravali:

If Sun occupies the 8^th bhava, the native will have deformed eyes, be devoid of wealth and happiness, be short-lived and will suffer separation from his relatives.

If Moon occupies 8^th bhava, the native will be very intelligent, very splendorous and will suffer from diseases. If the Moon be weak, he will be short-lived.

If Mars occupies 8^th bhava, the native will suffer from diseases, be short-lived, will possess an ugly, or deformed body, will do base acts and will suffer grief.

If Mercury occupies 8^th bhava, the native will win famous names (titles), be strong, long-lived, will support his family and be equal to a king, or will become a justice.

If Jupiter occupies 8^th bhava, the native will be insulted, long-lived, be a servant, will serve his own people, be pitiable and will have union with dirty women.

If Venus occupies 8^th bhava, the native will be long-lived, will enjoy incomparable happiness, be very rich, be equal to a king and moment after moment will feel delighted.

If Saturn occupies 8^th bhava, the native will suffer from leprosy and fistula in the anus, or duodenum, will have short life and will fail in his undertakings.

If Rahu occupies 8th bhava: Rahu is beneficial in 8th bhava, but only for occult and secret things, the desire to gain the secret knowledge is very intense and the native is never satisfied with the knowledge he/she acquire's, the native just wants to see the secrets holding the cycle of death and birth, the knowledge to gain healing abilities is another issue which remain highlighted.

If Ketu occupies 8th bhava: Ketu in 8th bhava is not a bad position for Ketu, it helps the native to attain the ability of healing, and also gains the abilities to enter other human aura's to heal, but the native will not be able to handle the joint assets of the partner or spouse and the trust level also will be low and might not marry for this reason.

So the bottom line for this bhava is that the bottom valve of the life opens here. :-))

Yuvati Bhava- 7th House-House of Spouse/Business/Protection

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

The 7th house or the Yuvati bhava: (Yuvati = Woman) is one of the most important house, the natural 7th house is Libra and the lord of the 7th house is Venus, and Venus is also the natural karaka for marriage, or spouse.

Yuvati Bhava: Relates to marriage, marital life, life partner, long journeys, partners, business, death, the portion of the body below the navel.

Effects of Yuvati bhava; BPHS

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me detailing the effects of the 7th house.

If Yuvati Lord is in his own Rasi, or in exaltation, one will derive full happiness through his wife (and marriage). 

2. Sick Wife.

Should Yuvati Lord be in Ari 6th, Randhra 8^th, or Vyaya 12th house, the wife will be sickly. This however does not apply to own Bhava, or exaltation placement, as above.

3. Excessive·Libidinousness/Death·of·Wife.

If Sukra is in Yuvati, the native will be exceedingly libidinous. If Sukra yuti a malefic in any Bhava, it will cause loss of wife.

4-5. THE 7^TH LORD.

Should Yuvati Lord be endowed with strength and be yuti with, or be drishtied by a benefic, the native will be wealthy, honorable, happy and fortunate.

Conversely, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or is combust, or is in an enemy’s Rasi, one will acquire sick wives and many wives.

6. PLURALITY OF WIVES.

If Yuvati Lord is in a Rasi of Sani (Saturn), or of Sukra (Venus) and be drishtied by a benefic, there will be many wives. Should Yuvati Lord be particularly in exaltation, the same effects will come to pass.

7-8½. Miscellaneous MATTERS.

The native will befriend barren females, if Surya (Sun) is in Yuvati. Chandra (Moon) therein will cause association with such female, as corresponding to the Rasi, becoming Yuvati. Mangal (Mars) placed in Yuvati, will denote association with marriageable girls (those with menses), or with barren females.

Budh indicates harlots, mean females and females, belonging to traders’ community.
Wife of a Brahmin, or a pregnant female will be in the native’s association, if Guru is in Yuvati. Base females and females, having attained their courses, are denoted by Sani (Saturn), Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati.

8-9½. Mangal (Mars) denotes a female with attractive breasts. Sani (Saturn) indicates sick and weak spouse. Guru (Jupiter) will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts. Sukra ( Venus) will bring one with bulky and excellent breasts.

10-13½. Malefics in Vyaya and 7^th, while decreasing Chandra is in Putra denote, that the native will be controlled by spouse, who will be inimical to the race (or family).

If Yuvati Bhava is occupied, or owned by Sani/Mangal, the native will beget a harlot, as his spouse, or he will be attached to other illegally. Should Sukra be in a Navamsa of Mangal, or in a Rasi of Mangal, or receive a Drishti from, or be yuti with Mangal, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the female.

If Sukra is so related to Sani, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the male.

14-15. WORTHY SPOUSE.

The native will beget a spouse endowed with (the seven principal) virtues, who will expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the 7^th Lord is exalted, while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a benefic.

16. EVILS TO SPOUSE.

If Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is yuti with a malefic the native’s wife will incur evils, especially, if Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is bereft of strength.

17. LOSS OF SPOUSE.

If Yuvati Lord is devoid of strength and is relegated to Ari 6th, Randhra 8^th, or Vyaya 12th, or, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, the native’s wife will be destroyed (i.e. she will die early).

18. LACK OF CONJUGAL FELICITY.

If Chandra is in Yuvati, as Yuvati Lord is in Vyaya and the Karaka (indicator Sukra) is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed with marital happiness.

19-21. PLURALlIY OF WIVES.

One will have two wives, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or in a malefic Rasi along with a malefic, while Yuvati Bhava, or the 7^th Navamsa belong to a eunuch planet.

If Mangal and Sukra are in Yuvati, or, if Sani is Yuvati, while the Lord of Lagna is in Randhra, the native will have 3 wives. There will be many wives, if Sukra is in a Dual Rasi, while its Lord is in exaltation, as Yuvati Lord is endowed with strength.

22. TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto Sloka 34).

If Yuvati Lord is in a benefic’s Bhava (or in Dharma, as Subha ( Auspicious) Rasi so means), while Sukra is exalted, or is in own Rasi, the native will get married at the age 5, or 9.

23. If Surya is in Yuvati, while its dispositor is yuti with Sukra, there will be marriage at 7^th, or 11^th year of age.

24. Sukra in Dhana, while Yuvati Lord is in Labha will give marriage at the age of 10, or 16.

25. Marriage will take place during the 11^th year, if Sukra is in an angle from Lagna, while Lagna Lord is in Makar, or Kumbh.

26. The native will marry at 12, or l9, if Sukra is in an angle from the Lagna, while Sani is in Yuvati counted from Sukra.

27. Should Sukra be in Yuvati from Chandra, while Sani is in Yuvati from Sukra, marriage will be in the 18^th year.

28. Marriage will be in the 15^th year, if Dhana Lord is in Labha, while Lagna Lord is in Karma.

29. An exchange between the Lords of Dhana and Labha will bring marriage 13 years after birth.

30. Ones 22^nd/27^th year will confer marriage, if Sukra is in Yuvati from the 8^th Bhava (i.e. Dhana from Lagna), while his dispositor is yuti with Mangal.

31. Should Yuvati Lord be in Vyaya, while the natal Lord is in Yuvati in Navamsa, marriage will be in 23^rd/26^th year of age.

32. Either the 25^th year, or the 33^rd year will bring marriage, if Randhra Lord is in Yuvati, as Sukra is in Navamsa Lagna.

33. Should Sukra be in Dharma from Dharma (i.e. in Putra Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the said Bhavas (i.e. in Putra/Dharma), marriage will take place during 31^st, or 33^rd year.

34. The native will marry at 30, or 27, if Sukra is in Lagna, while the 7^th Lord is in Yuvati itself.

35-39. TIMING OF WIFE’S DEATH.

Loss of wife will occur in the 18^th year, or 33^rd year of age of the native, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, while Sukra is in Randhra.

One will lose his spouse in his 19^th year, if Yuvati Lord is in the 8^th, while Vyaya Lord is in Yuvati. The native’s wife will die within three days of marriage due to snake bite, if the native has Rahu in Dhana and Mangal in Yuvati.

If Sukra is in Randhra, while his depositor is in a Rasi of Sani, death of wife will take place during the native’s 12^th, or 21^st year of age. Should the ascendant Lord be in his Rasi of debilitation, as Dhana Lord is in Randhra, loss of wife will occur in the 13^th year of age.

40-41. THREE MARRIAGES.

Should Chandra be in Yuvati from Sukra, while Budh is in Yuvati from Chandra and Randhra Lord is in Putra (from the Lagna), there will be marriage in Karma year (10) followed by another in the 22^nd year and yet another in the 33^rd year.

42. DEATH OF WlFE.

lf Ari, 7^th and 8^th are in their order occupied by Mangal, Rahu and Sani, the native’s wife will not live (long).

Note: Where ever it says "Wife", one should read it as "Spouse".

Kalyana Verma Saravali:

45 ABOUT THE 7^th HOUSE.

If Jupiter, Moon, Venus and Mercury be in the 7^th, in any manner (i.e. one of them, two, three, or all of them in the 7^th), or other divisions falling in the 7^th House, or, if the 7^th House be in aspect to these, one will procure a wife corresponding to the planet/s and Rasi in question.

46. Should the 7^th House contain malefics, or fall in malefic planets' divisions, the wife of the native will be destroyed (i.e. adversely affected). These results can be deduced from the Ascendant and the Moon, the stronger of them having more significance. If the Moon be in the 7^th (from the Ascendant) along with Saturn, the native will marry a widow.

47. The number of wives will correspond to the number of heavenly bodies aspecting the 7^th, or the Navamsa past in the 7^th House. There will be a single wife, if Leo, Aries, or Scorpio rise in Navamsa, or, if Mercury and Jupiter join together in the 7^th House.

48. If the 7^th House has many divisions of Venus and the Moon, or is occupied by these two, there will be plurality of wives. Specially Venus in the 7^th will cause such an effect.

49. Jupiter and Venus related to the 7^th House will confer a bride of the same caste, while the Sun, Mars, Saturn and the Moon denote a female belonging to a mean order. As per Ketumalacharya, Venus and Moon related to the 7^th House will cause relationship with whores.

50-51. Mars in the 7^th House will make one go devoid of wife ( Lord Shri Rama also had Mars in 7th and we know the Ramayana, he is separated form his wife Sita devi for many many years and then again when the Demon King Ravana is killed and everything becomes peaceful, he sends his wife away suspecting her chastity, so anyway they remain separated). If he is, while so posited in aspect to only Saturn, the wife will certainly pass away.

Should Mars and Venus be together in the 7^th, or 5^th, or 9^th, the native will beget a languid, or deformed wife.

52. It is the unanimous opinion of all the sages, that, if the Moon and the Sun are, respectively, in the 12^th and the 6^th, both the native and his wife will be one-eyed.

53. If Saturn occupies the Ascendant, while Venus is in the 7^th identical with Ganda Rasi and the 5^th is bereft to beneficial aspect, the person acquires a barren wife.

54-55. One will be devoid of a wife and an issue, if malefics occupy the Ascendant, 12^th and 7^th, while decreasing Moon is in the 5^th. Both the native and his wife will be immoral, if the 7^th in aspect to Mars and Saturn. House falls in the various divisions of Saturn and Mars, while Venus is posited in the 7.

56. When the 7^th House is occupied by Mercury and Venus, the native will be bereft of both wife and progeny. If however this combination receives the aspect of a benefic, there will be obtainment of a wife at an advanced age.

57. Should the Moon, along with even one of Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, be in the 7^th, the native will be opulent.

Note: The numbers as prefix are the serial number of the Sanskrit Sholakas related with each translated statement.

Grah/Planets in Yuvati bhava- 7th House and their effects

If the Sun is posited in 7^th, the native will be poor, insulted, will suffer bodily diseases, royal displeasure's and imprisonment, will take to bad ways and will not be well-disposed to his wife.

If the Moon is in 7^th, the native will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon is in 7^th, the native will be pitiable and weak.

If Mars is posited in 7^th, the native will lose his wife, will suffer from diseases, will take to bad ways, be miserable, sinful, devoid of wealth, distressed and emaciated.

If Mercury is in 7^th, the natives wife will be very learned, beautiful in appearance, will not be of good descent, will promote quarrels and be very affluent. The native himself will be very great.

If Jupiter occupies the 7^th, the native will be charming, will acquire a beautiful wife, be greater than his father, be an eloquent speaker, a poet, a superior person and be learned and famous.

If Venus occupies the 7^th, the native will be very beautiful, be happy with his wife, will enjoy great riches, be devoid of quarrels and be fortunate.

If Saturn is posited in the 7^th, the native will always be subjected to ill health, will lose his wife, be bereft of wealth, will present himself ugly, be sinful and will do very mean acts.

If Rahu is posited in 7th Bhava: The spouse might be from a foreign land or might belong to lower class, Marriage represents entitlement to satisfy a personal desire at the expense of social stability. 

Spouse may be entirely successful but the foreign behaviours are a permanent source of change and movement in the natives life. Excellent for international business negotiations, where the spouse becomes a significant partnering asset.

 Also good for counseling/advising for multi-cultural and taboo relationships.

If Ketu is posited in the 7th Bhava: Ketu does not obstruct marriage but keeps the native in a restless dissatisfaction with the spouse, or the native might have a disconnected, inappropriate or unavailable spouse, Ketu is the tail of the Serpent "Naga", it belongs to no one, has no power, the spouse might be withdrawn, often narcissistic or so concerned with their own selves that they cannot participate in partnerships. This can be very tiring to the native since, the mind would always be worried about something or other regarding the spouse, and the spouse will be in a very difficult position, a patient and loving spouse can tax himself and a careless and mindless spouse can ruin the relationship, but Ketu does not take the native to that extent, Rahu will be pulling him the other corner in exactly the opposite direction.

Here we are just seeing the 7th house and not marriage, because to deduce the combinations for marriage, health of marriage, spouse, type of spouse, longevity of the marriage, dangers to the marriage, no of marriages etc. can be seen from many other angles, 7th house just tells us about the Spouse in general and relations with business partners. etc.

The most appropriate planet for a very beautiful marriage would be auspicious Venus in 7th and that 7th house should be either Pisces (Venus exalted) or Libra (Venus own house and Moolatrikona) , with Shukla paksha Moon, and a shubha dhristi of Jupiter from Gemini or Jupiter in Cancer (Jupiter exalted) and similar combination should be present in the Navamsa, Jupiter disciplines Venus and the Moon adds its charm, and Venus as its is adds feminine beauty.

Note: Rather it is a warning, this is for parents, please don't try to find a short cut to match the charts of your children and get into a vicious circle, :-) because life of two individuals is at stake, and it is them who have to live that life together, or best thing don't match the charts, just go for it like in west, :-) and many women they come with questions like I want to check the chart of my boy friend, :-) If you are in love please don't check the charts unless there is some serious problem, :-) because once you check and find out one of you have Moola Nakshatra then your parents will panic. :-)) checking charts is strictly for arranged marriages only, where parents go looking for brides or bridegrooms, and not for people in love.

Putra Bhava, 5th house

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Putra Bhava: The straight meaning of this term is house of son, but it relates to children, poorvapunya (good deeds from all previous births), intelligence, knowledge, scholarship, devotion, mantras, (prayers), stomach, digestive system, authority.power, fame, love, affection, emotions, judgement, speculation.

When we say children it includes every type of child, all depending on the grah/planets posited /aspecting/conjoined and the house itself, there is a direct relation, this house also tells us about our past good deeds, or punya karma, If one has children one can infer directly that one did have purva punya, particularly if those children are girls.

5th house/Putra bhava is one of the important houses along with Ascendant, Yuvati bhava, dharma bhava, Karma bhava and Labha bhava.

Effects of Putra Bhava - 5th House. BPHS

1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putra Bhava (5th House).

If the Lords of Lagna and Putra are in their own Rasis, or in an angle, or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness through his children. 

Should Putra’s Lord be in Ari (6th), Randhra (8th), or Vyaya Bhava (12th), there will be no offspring.

Should the Lord of Putra be combust (Posited very close to Sun), or be with malefics and be weak, there will be no children; even, if per chance issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon.

The Yuti of Putra’s Lord with Lagna’s Lord in a good Bhava will ensure early obtainment of children apart from happiness through them. If they join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a defect in this respect.

4. If Putra’s Lord is in Ari Bhava, as Lagna’s Lord is yuti (Conjoined) with Mangal, the native will lose his very first child, where after his female will not be fertile to yield an offspring.

5. Should Putra’s Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, while Budh and Ketu are in Putra Bhava, the natives wife will give birth to one child only.

6. If Putra’s Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putra, while Sani (Saturn) and Budh are in Putra, the native’s wife will give birth to one child only.

7. Should Dharm’s Lord be in Lagna, while Putra’s Lord is in fall and Ketu is in Putra along with Budh, obtainment of progeny will be after a great deal of ordeal.

8. If Putra’s Lord is in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an inimical Rasi, or be in fall, or in Putra itself, the native will beget issues with difficulty.

9. Should Putra Bhava be owned by Sani (Saturn), or Budh and be occupied, or drishtied by Śani and Mandi, one will have adopted issues.

10. Should Surya and Chandra be together in a Rasi and in the same Navamsa, the native will be brought up by three mothers, or two fathers.

11. Adopted issue is indicated, if Putra is tenanted by six Grahas, while its Lord is in Vyaya Bhava and Chandra and Lagna are endowed with strength.

12. There will be many children, if Putra’s Lord is strong, while Putra is drishtied by strong Budh, Guru and Sukra.

13. If Putra’s Lord is with Chandra, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters; so say Jyotishis (Astrologers).

14. If Putra’s Lord is in a Movable Rasi, while Sani (Saturn) is in Putra, as Rahu is with Chandra, the child (so born) is of questionable birth.

15. Undoubtedly the native is born of other’s loins, if Chandra is in the 8^th from Lagna, while Guru is in the 8^th from Chandra. Malefic’s Drishti, or Yuti is essential in this Yog.

16. If Putra’s Lord is exalted, or be in Dhana, Putra, or Dharma Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of children will be there.

17. One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if Putra is occupied by three, or four malefics, while Putra’s Lord is in fall. A benefic (including Budh) in Putra is excluded in the said combination.

18. If Putra is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Sukra, one will obtain an offspring in his 32^nd, or 33^rd year.

19. Should Putra’s Lord be in an angle along with Guru, the Karak, one will beget a child at the age of 30, or 36.

20. If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Sukra is in the 9^th from Guru along with Lagna’s Lord, one will beget a child at the age of 40.

21. The native will at the age of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putra, Putra’s Lord is in Yuti with a malefic and Guru is in debilitation.

22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if a malefic is in the 5^th from Guru, while another is in the 5^th from Lagna.

23. Should Mandi be in Lagna, while Lagna’s Lord is in fall, grief on account of loss of child at the age of 56 will come to pass.

24-32. Number of Children.

There will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied by malefics, while Putra’s Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagna’s Lord, as Guru is with another benefic.

Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in deep exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhana’s Lord and Dharm is occupied by its own Lord.

There will be eight sons, if Guru is in Putra, or Dharm Bhava, while Putra’s Lord is endowed with strength and Dhan’s Lord is in Karma Bhava.

Sani in Dharm Bhava, while Putra’s Lord is in Putra itself, gives 7 sons, out of which twins will be born twice.

If Putra’s Lord is in Putra in Yuti with Dhana’s Lord, there will be birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away.

Only one son is denoted, if there be a malefic in Putra Bhava, while Guru is in the 5^th from Sani, or vice versa.

If Putra Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Sani is in the 5^th from Guru, the native will beget offspring only through his second, or third wife.

Should Putra be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti with Sani in Putra Bhava, as Lagna’s Lord is in Dhana Bhava and Putra’s Lord is yuti with Mangal, one will live long, but lose his children one after the other, as they are born.

Kalyana Verma's Saravali : Putra Bhava

ABOUT THE 5^th HOUSE.

If the 5^th House contains a benefic, or is aspected by a benefic, or be a benefic's Rasi, the native will surely beget children. If it is different, he will not obtain progeny. If the 5^th House counted from the Moon, or the Ascendant, the stronger prevailing, has at least one Jupiter's division in the various Varga calculations, or has a benefic's Rasi in it and is aspected by a benefic, the native will have legitimate issue. 

NUMBER OF CHILDREN.

If the Navamsa of the 5^th falls in a benefic's Rasi the number of children equals the number of Navamsa past in the 5^th House. The aspect of a benefic on the 5^th Bhava doubles the number, while malefic Rasi, as 5^th House Navamsa and the said House receiving a malefic's aspect confers progeny with difficulty. 

AUTHORIZING OTHER KINSMAN TO RAISE PROGENY FOR THE NATIVE.

If the 5^th House containing Mercury in it and is in aspect to Saturn, but without the aspect of the others, as cited above. House falls in the divisions (like Rasi, Navamsa, drekkana etc.) of Saturn and be with Mercury's aspect, but without that of Jupiter/Mars/Sun, the native obtains progeny by authorizing his kinsman to raise the same for him from his (the natives) wife. Similar result prevails, if Mercury's Rasi be in the 5.

ADOPTED OR BOUGHT PROGENY.

If the 5^th House belongs to Saturn and be occupied by Saturn himself with the aspect of the Moon, one procures a child by adoption, or by an act of purchase. Identical effect follows the position of Mercury in the 5^th House owned by him receiving the Moon's aspect. 

ADOPTION SANS CONSENT.

Should the 5^th House contain Saturn with out any aspect from others and fall in a Sapthamsa (D-7) owned by Mars, the native will adopt a grown up child without the consent of its natural parents. 

BASE CHILDREN.

If the 5^th House contains the Sun and falls in the divisions of Saturn receiving the aspect of Mars, the children so obtained will be abject. Should the Moon be in the 5^th House and receive exclusively Saturn's aspect, while the 5^th House falls in a Navamsa of Mars, even then the progeny will be foolish and base. 

If the 5^th House is occupied by Mars falling in many of Saturn's divisions and be in aspect to the Sun, one will obtain a son, that is adopted by a stranger after its being cast off by its original parents, so says sage Karuna. 

ISSUE BY A REMARRIED WIDOW.

Should the 5^th House fall in Saturn's Vargas and contain both the Moon and Saturn therein, in aspect to both the Sun and Venus, progeny will be begotten by a widow given to the native in remarriage. 

PROGENY BY A VIRGIN.

Should the Moon be in the 7^th along with the Sun, or the Moon being in the 5^th in aspect to, or in the company of the Sun, one will obtain issue through an unmarried girl. 

PROGENY BY A WOMAN PREGNANT AT MARRIAGE.

If the 5^th House falls in the divisions of the Luminaries and contains the Moon and the Sun in aspect to Venus only, one will have progeny by a woman, who will already be pregnant at the time of marriage. 

ISSUELESSNESS.

If the 5^th House falls in a malefic's Sign and be occupied by strong malefics without benefic's aspect, the native will be childless. 

PROGENY BY A FEMALE SLAVE.

If the 5^th House be in a Navamsa of Venus and be aspected by Venus, one will beget progeny by a female servant. Some scholars opine, that even, if the Moon's Navamsa and the Moon so come in the picture, the said effects will come to pass. 

SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

When the 5^th House has exclusively the divisions of the Moon and Venus and be with aspects of Venus and the Moon alone, or be occupied by these two alone, or, when the said House has the divisions of only even Signs, the native will beget only female children. In a contrary situation, (i.e. 5^th House falling in divisions of odd Signs only and be excluded from the occupation, or aspect of Venus and the Moon but others), there will be birth of only male children. 

CHILDLESSNESS.

When the Moon occupies the 10^th House, Venus is in the 7^th and malefics are in the 4^th, the natives dynasty does not descend any further. 

LOSS OF CHILDREN.

Should Mars be in the 5^th, the children of the native will pass away, as they are born. However, if Jupiter, or Venus lend aspect to the said position, the loss relates only to the first child. If all planets aspect (the said Mars), then there is no loss at all of children. 

SPECIAL EFFECTS.

Should the 5^th House be occupied exclusively by malefics, the native will be devoid of wealth, own men and happiness. If Mars is in the 5^th House, he will be distressed (or deformed). Saturn so posited denotes sickness. The occupations of Mercury, Jupiter, or Venus will confer abundant happiness and wealth.

Effects of Grah/Planets in 5th house or Putra bhava.

If the Sun occupies the 5^th, the native will be bereft of happiness, sons and wealth, will live by husbandry, will move in hills and fortresses, be fickle-minded, scholarly, devoid of strength and be short-lived.

If the Moon be in 5^th, the native will be timid in disposition, will earn learning, clothes and food, will have many sons and friends, be a scholar and be passionate.

If Mars occupies the 5^th, the native will be devoid of happiness, wealth and sons, be fickle-minded, be a talebearer, will incur evils, be wicked, distressed and mean.

If Mercury occupies the 5^th, the native will be an expert in Mantras (sacred spells) and Abhicāra (malevolent spells), will have many sons, be endowed with learning, happiness and efficacy and be delighted.

If Jupiter occupies the 5^th, the native will have abundant happiness, many sons and friends, be learned, courageous, wealthy and will always be happy.

If Venus is posited in the 5^th, the native will be endowed with happiness, sons and friends, be fond of sexual union, be very affluent, full of everything and be a minister, or a justice.

If Saturn in the 5th Bhava: Should Saturn occupy the 5^th Bhava, the native will be bereft of happiness, sons, friends, intelligence and kindness, be agitated and be poor.

If Rahu in 5th Bhava:

Underclass or foreign attributes of the children, Rahu in a Rasi of Mercury and Shani may deny children all together, though there might be a great desire for children, conception and development of children might happen in very peculiar circumstances, and yet the children might become the source of happiness and might become famous and distinguished in their culture, possibility of foreign adoption, or might get involved in raising own grandchildren.

If Ketu in 5th Bhava: 

Ketu will reduce the happiness one is supposed to get from the children and the effects will be like separation between the parents and the children, the native suffers from his own thoughts, hence suffering, mental and physical, the native might be weak, crafty, timid, impatient, jealous and might not have any interest what so ever in religion and travel

General understanding should be like, if the house is male or female, the lord of the 5th house is male or female, the planets occupying the 5th house are male or female, if there is any aspect from male planets like Jupiter, Sun, Mars or females planets like Venus, or Moon, etc, the number of planets, etc  to deduce the sex and no of children and health and intelligence of the children.
