Some Aspects of Indian Culture
The conjuction of Saturn and Rahu in the fifth in an inimical sign is undisputedly bad. The only saving grace so far as this house is concerned is the Jupiter's aspect over it. The malefics must have, however, produced obstacles in the ways of native's prosecuting his studies. They also signify feeble digestion. The Navaparcama Yoga formed by Jupiter and Saturn is clearly responsible for the native's selecting a lawyer's career 50. The Yoga would have been quite a perfect Yoga had any of the two planets been in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius.
The ruler of the sixth, being in a Kendra, creates enemies but the native effectively brings them round as it is Sua in Sagittarius aspected by Moon.
Mars in the seventh aspected by Saturn positively makes a #191219,67 As Venus is in conjunction with Jupiter in the ninth, there is romantic attachment and a possibility of marriage with a genius and an original character 58. Mars in the seventh may create hindrances in realizing dreams of conjugal happiness. This Mars is in a way responsible for occasionally causing loss of esteem through precipitate or aggressive actions. It aiso accounts for frequent clashes with people.
If the ruler of the first, eighth and tenth be in a Kendra or a Kona, the Yoga produced is one of दीर्घायुस्.50 According to the Jaiminisutra it is अल्पायुर्योग..
The conjunction of Jupitor and Venus in the ninth is a strong indicator of excellent luck.81 A powerful Jupiter in the ninth makes the native a minister.63 Moreover, Jupiter in the ninth is an ideal position for philosophis thoughts; it gives genuine intuition, and is favourable for legal and philanthropic affairs; the native realizes his dreams and cojoys a very peaceful condition of the higher mind. Venus in the ninth stands for a very refined and artistic mind and end)ws the native with a power of appreciating culture. It also makes the native very sympathetic and humane though its value is somewhat lessened by its being the ruler of the eighth and at the same time this bad effect is more than compensated by its being in conjuction with Jupiter-a benefic of the highest order.
Sun in the tenth is powerful by its very position and shines all the more resplendently as it is ia Sagittarious. It brings success and honour, power and governmental position.6 8 It is in conjunction with Mercury which has given the native eloquence, literary abilities, versatility and a keen sease of humor.64 It also makes him generous, ambitious and even religious. It is noted for giving great freedom of speech and ability for undertaking several things at a time. It is also responsible for giving wonderful suppleness, a clear vision and a fertile imagination. If the ruler of the tenth is in the ninth, it shows that the native will have a wide circle of very famous friends as well as a mother of noble and truth-speaking nature 85 The luner opposition with the sun, according to Western school of Astrology. creates hitches, makes delays, shows low vitality and a want of recuperative powers; while, according to Eastern School of Astrology, it heightens the good effect.
