WAYS OF LIVING

We have entered the twenty-first century and education is

expanding day by day. The educated generation is taking over
the old generation. It believes that the old theories are
baseless and based on blind faith. It believes in logic and
does not easily agree with whatthe science of Astrology says.
Even when the 'Lai Kitab' was available in simple
Hindi and a layman could read it, the book was termed as the
book of 'charms'. Undoubtedly, this is the book of charms
but there is much more than the 'charms, in it. Readers
would certainly like to have a look on the charms which have
been suggested in this book.

A few tips:
1. Do not speak ill to anyone.
2. Do not tell lies.
3. Do not be cruel.
4. Have faith in God.
5. Worship your own deity with devotion.
6. Do not consume alcohol.
7. Have pure and simple food.
8. Get nose and ears pierced.
9. Brush your teeth regularly with 'KeekarDa ton'.
10. Live in a joint family.
11. Worship girls, gift green clothes and feed them
with good food.
 8

12. Gift sweets to sisters' and daughters.

13. Do not accept anything free.
14. Never take property of any childless couple.
15. Avoid residing in a house which faces south.
16. Repair hole in the roof immediately.
17. Keep at least some small place uncemented in
the house.
18. Give food to cow, dog, crow and monkey, etc.
19. Be careful with a bald man and single-eyed
person.
Now think yourself and decide whether the above
mentioned points are simply charms. I know you would also
agree that these are parameters of our life and culture. These
are the points which help us to be a good human being and
make us strong enough to follow the moral code of conduct.
'Lai Kitab' is based on humanitarian grounds, which
enable us to protect ourselves from problems, mis
happenings, etc.
The charms, talisman and mantra used as charms are
decried in Lai Kitab. The charms and talisman used with an
ill will towards others is said to rebound back.
Sometimes a person, desperate with misery, is prepared to
do anything to get rid of it; he even goes to the extent of
bringing harm to an individual or society. Lai Kitab
discourages such mean steps. It gives a very simple and
easy method for preparing horoscope. Any person who has
sufficient knowledge of Urdu or Hindi almanac can
successfully make a horoscope on the basis of calculations
and charts given in this book. A person's annual forecast
Varsha Kundali-can be made in a very shortwhile even by a
layman. He can easily foresee the good or evil effect by
studying the placement of stars in horoscope.
First, the effect of a planet is studied in its placement, and
then the effect of two, three, four and five planets are
 9

studied in a combined manner. Simple and easy-to-adopt

remedies are suggested to enhance the effect of the planet
which is weak. Sometimes the suggestions create a
remarkable effect. A part of this book deals with basic
concepts of Astrology which suggests some astrological
rules. A person who studies such rules and points
comprehensively shall be able to read horoscope with ease
and make astonishing predictions. The position of the
house and the relatives of the concerned person n be
easily predicted. The disease which the person might be
affected with and its remedies can be suggested. These
remedies cannot be termed as charms as they are based on
calculations made by astrologer.
A very simple method of looking into a horoscope is
given in this book. It is as follows-

 CHARMS, REMEDIES AND

GOOD CONDUCT

The evil effects of planets can (or cannot) be diminished

in some cases.
(i) Ifa planet placed in a particular house gives the
effect of that house, then there is the possibility
of reducing its evil effect.
(ii) If that very planet gives its own malign effects,
then any remedy is not possible.
There are three kinds of remedies suggested for the
first kind which would diminish the evil effect.
(a) Charms-They give instant relief just like an
injection.
(b) Precautions-They give long term relief like
effective medicine.
(c) Good Conduct-It gives life-long effect.
For instance, if Mercury is affected by Moon in a
horoscope then the person is likely to suffer from diseases
related to lungs. The mother shall often remain ill. Three
forms of cures and precautions are suggested in this case.
(a) Keep a pot filled with water at bedside. Pour out
the water on the roots of a Keekar plant in the
morning; this shall give instant relief.
(b) Give green coloured clothes to unmarried girls as
gifts. Avoid drinking milk before retiring to bed. It
has a long-term effect.
(c) Worship the family deity. Follow a good conduct
by touching the feet of the elders in salutation
thereby seeking their blessings. This shall
eventually have a permanent effect. The person
shall get rid of the evil effect of the planet for ever.
 BASIC CONCEPT

Kitab points out three basic principles-

The entire universe is governed by an eternal
power, i.e. God. He effects the nine planets in the
universe to revolve round the Sun. The planets are
responsible for the following factors: Mercury -
Expansion
Rahu - It helps Mercury and is friendly with the
sky
Sun - Light, illumination
Saturn - Darkness
Jupiter-Air, wind
Venus-Underground (Patoo/)
Ketu - Supports Venus, henzepataal Moon-Earth
Mars - Star with a tail
A child is bom with his destiny enclosed in his
fist. No one can ever change it. If anyone makes
deliberate effort to change it, he shall have to part
with his life for doing so or have to suffer on behalf of
the natal. The moving planets cast favourable or
evil effect on the person. The effect is of two types:
(i) Definite and (ii) Doubtful
The former can be studied through horoscope. The
definite indicates one's destiny which is eternal.
The doubtful effect of the planets is not
permanent. It can be prevented or postponed by
various means which are given in the book. A
planet casts its effect-good or evil-owing to its
placement or in. conjunct ion with other planets. It
is most important to prepare a horoscope to study
the placement of the stars.
 HOROSCOPE

to predict the future of a person. It suggests two methods

(1) To make a horoscope on the basis of the lines and

signs on palm.
(2) By modifying the horoscope made on the
principles of Astrology.
A child has his destiny tightly enclosed in his fist. He
does not open his fist easily. The hand develops as the
child grows up. When the hand is well developed, the
horoscope, according to Lai Kitab, can be made on the basis
of the lines and signs in the palm.
Palmists study the lines, signs, mounts, circles and
islands to forecast future, but it is unique that Lai Kitab
makes the horoscope with twelve houses, twelve zodiacs
and nine planets by reading palm. It is illustrated in the
diagram on the previous page.
Numbers from 1 to 12 marked on fingers depict zodiacs.
Numbers 1 to 12 marked on the palm stand for houses.
The position of the planet goes on changing.
We shall make modifications in the horoscope made
on the basis of Astrology and then discuss the effects of
planets.

Horoscope preparation for predictions on the basis of
Lai Kitab

The following modifications are made on the horoscope,

based on Astrology to make it suitable for
making predictions according to Lai Kitab.
(1) Remove numbers of zodiacs from houses of
horoscope.
(2) Let the planets remain in their places.
(3) Consider first house as the zodiac sign - Aries. The
second shall be Taurus, third house shall be Libra
and so on, the twelfth house shall be finally Pisces.
(4) From Lagna, start putting numbers 1 to 12. These are
the numbers of the houses as well as of the
zodiacs. The process of making a horoscope
according to Lai Kitab has been already explained
through illustration.

 ASTROLOGY

Astrology—AstrologerB studied deeply to find out the

position of the planets in the universe and their
movements. They studied and calculated when and where
a particular planet will cross the other planet while moving
around. The effect of a planet on other planets were studied
to make predictions. Predictions were confirmed through
past experiences and by studying impact of the planets
on previous occasions.
Destiny and Action—A number of people have faith
in destiny. It is believed that God has predestined the
events of one's life. If one believes it, there is no point of
doing anything as whatever has been destined shall take
place. If one is destined to be rich, he shall certainly be so
or if someone has to be cured of some illness, he shall be
cured even without taking any medicine, so on and so forth.
It is necessary that a man performs actions to shape
destiny. The action and the destiny are inter-related. If a
person performs actions but the destiny is against him,
the efforts he makes shall not bear desired results. But if
destiny favours him, there shall be very good results. For
instance, luck favours a person and he wins a lottery.
Though luck has smiled upon him, but he has to make
efforts to keep money safe and use his wits to spend it
logically.
Here again it is true that when a person passes through
a bad phase of life, his mind also starts functioning
accordingly, i.e. he is not able to make decisions which he
would have made otherwise during favourable times. The
man becomes desperate and looks for someone who can
guide him. Again, when luck does not favour a person, he
is not likely to come across Mr. right to help him out. We
may conclude that the destiny and the efforts both are
 16

inter-related. One cannot enjoy the fruits of destiny if he

does not make efforts nor are the efforts useful without
destiny favouring him.

Change Destiny through Action

The destiny of a person is governed by the actions
performed in the present life; it also considers the actions
performed in the previous life. If a person is destined to
suffer due to the actions of his past deeds, then the
suffering can be reduced by good actions performed in the
present life. Nonetheless the impact of the karmas
performed in the previous life cannot be denied. Similarly,
our actions performed in this life determine our destiny
in the next world. The horoscope of a person indicates the
actions of his past life. The nature has strange ways of
keeping account of one's good and evil deeds which are
determined by the moving stars.
Horoscope and Previous Life
There is a continuous chain of birth, death and re-
birth in a person's life. The account of the actions (karmas)
is not cleared during a span of a single life but it is carried
forward in the lives to come. One can never know if he is
suffering or enjoying life due to the actions of the previous
life only or it is the effect of the life previous to that. The
moving stars register the action of each person which are
reflected through placement of stars at the time of his
birth and determine his destiny.
Movement of Planets in Universe
The Sun and the planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, Rahu and Ketu are continuously
moving in the universe. Each particular planet is equipped
with its specific power. All the elements of the universe
are divided into nine parts; each element is attributed to
a particular planet. For example, copper is associated with
Sun, silver is related to Moon, soil is attributed to Venus,
gold represents Jupiter and so on. Each element possesses
the power of a particular planet.
 17

Just as magnet has the capacity of pulling iron towards

it, planets have a particular relation with elements; the
nine planets cast their vision, shadow or rays on the
elements present on the earth. The sun rays dry up water
on the earth and warm up sand. On the other hand, the
lotus flower blossoms by sun rays. Similarly, the rays of
the moon make water and sand cool. Each planet thus
has its own impact.
Planets are always moving in the sky. Hence their
distance, degree, angle and axis keep on changing. This
explains the intensity of their effect at different times.
For example, the sun rays are strongest at noon because
then the rays fall on the earth directly. When a child is
bom, the rays of theplanets fall on his body; the distance,
angle and axis of the planets determine his destiny.
The reflection of the effect of the stars differs from
time to time making a marked impact on destiny. A person
performing the same actions gets different results as a
result of being under the spell of a particular planet.
All the elements related with the planets are present
in a person which is affected by their movement. That
explains the energy of a person which keeps on changing.
At a time when there is malign effect of a planet, the person
is likely to suffer. No one has any control over planetary
movement but the amount of element present in a person
can be reduced or increased according to requirements.

Astrologers while consulting a horoscope find out which

planet is weak in the horoscope. Then they look for the
planetary movement and make prediction that some
auspicious thing might take place during such and such a
period. It is often discovered that the person waits for the
period but nothing good turns up. Later it is found that
some other planet had cast its malign effect on it. But Lai
Kitab suggests that it is useless to sit and wait for the
change in the position of the planet. It would be better to
increase the elements in the body to get favourable effects.
 18

For example, if Rahu is placed in the eleventh house

it shall cast an ill effect on the father of the person. In
such a case, coconut and barley (jau) are dropped in flowing
water. Thus Rahu shall be supposed to be placed in the
fourth house and hence it shall stop giving evil effect.
One can escape from the malefic effect of the planet
by burying the objects related to the planet, throwing them
into the moving water or donating such objects to someone.
If one puts on objects related to the planet in person, it is
likely that the amount of the relative element shall be
increased.
It is important to note certain points in a horoscope.
(a) It should be observed which planet in a person's
horoscope is weak or rather which moving planet
is not casting favourable effect on the person.
(b) In which house that planet would give benefic
results.
(c) How can that planet be placed in the other house
so that it becomes favourable; what changes shall
be brought into the elements of a person's body
so that the planet which was giving an evil effect
seem to be placed in the house where it proves to
be beneficial.
Aspect
The earth is divided into twelve parts in relation to
planets, according to Astrology. Each part has some other
part in its aspect and is also aspected upon by some other
part. In other words any planet placed in a house falls
under the planet in some other house, this is known as
drishti which is complete, half, one fourth, mel-milaap
and takkar (confrontational).
Total Aspect (Poorna Drishti)-There are twelve
houses in a horoscope; the first six houses aspect the
other six houses. The first house casts its poorna drishti
at the seventh house that means the first house aspects
the planets of the seventh house completely, the second
house
 19

of the eighth house, the third house of the ninth house,

the fourth aspects the tenth house, the fifth looks at the
eleventh, the sixth aspects the twelfth house, but seventh
house never aspects the first house. Similarly, all the first
houses which have their aspect on the corresponding
houses do not come under the aspect of those houses just
as the torch light illumines only the objects which are in
the front and not those which fall at its back.
Half or one fourth aspect—The planet in the third
house casts its half aspect at the planet in the eleventh
house and the fifth house casts its half aspect at the ninth
house. Here again the corresponding houses cannot look
back at the houses whose planets had been under their
aspect.
Confrontation of Planets—All the houses in the
horoscope hit the eighth house and try to affect it adversely
irrespective of the fact whether the house is friendly or
inimical; for example the first house will hit the eighth
house and the tenth house will hit the fifth house and so
on.
Inimical Planets—The planets placed in the tenth
house are always inimical and give evil effect.
The Aspect of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn—
Wherever Jupiter is located, it has the seventh, the fifth
and the ninth house in its aspect.
Mars aspects the fourth and the eighth house besides
the seventh house irrespective of its location.
Saturn aspects the fifth and the ninth house besides
the seventh house irrespective of its own sitting position.
The snake is symbolic of Saturn; it looks in the front
while it crawls on the ground. When it raises its hood
then its eyes look backward instead of the front; the hood
is raised only when the snake fears an enemy closeby.
Hence it can be concluded that when Saturn casts a
wrathful look it brings harm to the planets seated behind
it. That means the planets from the sixth to second house.

Important Discovery-Sun moves across the earth in
twenty-four hours. It reaches the place from where it started
within twenty-four hours. It is day time in that part of the
earth over which the sun passes. The remaining portion of the
earth remains dark. The sun rises in the east. Hence the
eastern regions of the earth have their days begun earlier.
For example the sun rises about 15-20 minutes earlier in
Bengal than in Punjab.
Due to the round shape of the earth some portions of the
earth experience more sunlight and some less. But it can be
roughly seen that the Sun shines approximately more than
two hours over each part of the earth. The sum total amounts
to twenty-four hours.

 Relation of the Planets with each other 23

The almanac mentions the position and time of the

sun in relation to the planets.
It has been discovered that—
(1) The effect of Taurus zodiac shall last for 01:54
minutes within 24 hours in any house of the
horoscope; the effect shall start again after 22:06
minutes.
(2) The planets of the second house will travel around
that remaining 11 houses in 22:06 minutes and
reach back in their own house.
(3) The second house will move back and cross 4360
houses in one year.
(4) The second house after completing the round will
move extra four houses.
(5) The planet of the second house will move from its
house next year and pass through the first, the
twelfth, the eleventh and the tenth (four houses)
houses and enter the ninth house.
Lagna of Horoscope (East)
The part of theearth and the first house of any horoscope
is also called Lagna; it stands for Aries zodiac. It is
governed by Sun. Mars has made its abode on it. It is
primarily affected by Sun and Mars.
King (Sun) reigns with the help of friend Mars and
the army. The planet posted in this house is supposed to
be reigning ruler of other planets of the house. It casts
good or evil impact on other planets. Any planet coming
into this house tries to influence the inimical house. If the
inimical house lies in a weak house then it is brought to
harm by the planet of the Lagna. For example if Rahu
comes into the house of Lagna, it shall harm Saturn and
other minor planets in the sixth house. The Sun and
Jupiter placed in the eighth house will also be badly
affected. It is very natural that when a person becomes
powerful he attacks the enemy placed in a weaker position.
24

The Fifth house from Lagna, ninth house

Sun is the lord of the fifth house while Jupiter rules
the ninth house.
Jupiter, Mars and Sun are friendly planets. Hence the
first house shares a special relationship with the planets
of the fifth and the ninth house. If there are favourable
planets placed in these houses there shall be very good
results, but if they are malign then the effect will be very
harmful. If the planets in the three houses are inimical to
each other and are not favourable, then the person's
position will be like a king in whose kingdom there is utter
chaos. It is always auspicious to have complementary
planets in the fifth and the ninth house.
Seventh House from Lagna
If more than two kings are seated on a throne and
they are not on good terms with each other, then the
kingdom is most likely to crumble. A person who has two
or more than two opposing planets in a house is most likely
to suffer.
If there is a favourable planet positioned in the first
house but there is no planet in the seventh house then the
planet of the first house shall remain ineffective unless
the person contacts Venus (female or cow) who is the lord
of the seventh house and makes it favourable.
Any object related to the planet worn around the neck
establishes that planet in the first house. For example,
wearing gold around the neck will establish Jupiter in
the Lagna. That will affect the planets in the fifth and
ninth houses too.
Wearing coral around the neck will post Mars in Lagna,
which will affect the planets in the seventh, fourth and
eighth houses.
If Saturn is located in Lagna it will affect the planets
of the third, seventh and tenth house as the third and the
tenth house from the Saturn are under its influence.
 Relation of the Planets with each other 25

The planet seated at Lagna has the benefit of a casting

vote because of being the king. Thus if there are two
planets in Lagna, they shall be considered three (the third
planet will be Sun or Mars). The three houses shall be
considered as four, if any of the planets in the seventh
house is weak, then the animals related to the four planets
are to be served and pleased. The planets in Lagna will
consider those in the eighth house as enemies.
Related with the first house will be natal's body and
its parts, i.e. things related with Sun.
The planet seated in the first house will also have the
combined impact of Sun and Mars. If Jupiter is in the
first house then the person will become a king even at
young age.
If the natal has the virtues of Jupiter then he shall
have the qualities of a royal person. He shall provide help
and shelter to others and shall look after their welfare.
He achieves name and fame even if he is not qualified for
that.
The natal possessing the virtues of Mars will have a
healthy and impressive personality. He thinks of the
benefit and welfare of brothers and relatives and succeeds
in vanquishing enemies.
If Saturn is seated in the first house, then the natal
becomes a king who considers it his right that the people
under him should work for him and his happiness. He
expresses his kindness for others as if he is obliging them
by his benevolence (Saturn 1, 5, 9).
Second House of Horoscope (North-West)
This part of the earth which is called the second house
of horoscope is governed by its lord Jupiter. Venus has
made its abode over there. The second house is governed
by Jupiter and Venus. It is ruled by the zodiac Taurus.
The person whose horoscope has Jupiter in the second
house has the virtue of Jupiter grandeur, religious
mindedness; he also gets recognition, fame and feminine
 26

qualities like delicacy, gentleness, etc. related to Venus.

The Jupiter and Venus together take the mountainous
form of Saturn; it sends off water laden wind coming from
ninth house (sea) to other houses. If there are some planets
in that house then the wind dashes across the mountain
(Jupiter-Saturn) and sends showers of rain to the fourth
house, i.e. if there is any planet in the ninth, second and
fourth house, then the person enjoys very good income.
If there is a favourable planet in the second house and
there is no planet in the tenth and the ninth house then
the planet of the second house will not bear fruits. It
becomes important to seat any planet in the ninth or tenth
house of the horoscope in order to activate the favourable
effect of the second house which is awakened by the planet
of the tenth house. The tenth house consists of the house
made by father while the ninth house is related to
ancestral property through grandparents.
The planets of the eighth house look at the planets of
the second house. The planets of the second house come
under the influence of the eighth house and give the
opposite effect. For example Mars seated in the eighth
house is unfavourable for an individual but proves to be
beneficial for brothers of wife, i.e. the wife's brothers shall
have a very loving relationship with each other while the
person himself shall not have good relations with his own
brothers, specifically with the younger brother.
The second house has the sixth house in its aspect
while the sixth house holds the twelfth house in its aspect.
If the planets oftheeighth and twelfth houses are inimical
to each other and there is no planet in the second house
then it shall be affected by the aspect of the planets of the
eighth house through the second and sixth houses and
affect the inimical planets of the twelfth house which shall
be very harmful to the person. It would be wise that the
natal does not go to any religious centre.
The second house is related to the person's forehead
(the place where tilak is applied), the place of worship in
 Relation of the Planets with each other 27

the house, the cow and its shed. Jupiter (hermit) + Venus
(Ox) i.e. a hermit seated on an ox (Lord Shiva who is also
symbolic of Moon) should be appeased to get rid of the
flaw of this house. The Moon located in this house shall
be very beneficial. This part of the earth is owned by
Jupiter where Venus makes his abode. Hence the objects
related to this house (Jupiter + Venus) are yellow flower,
objects of brass, saffron, yellow soil, gram—pulses, etc.
The position of the in-law is studied through this house
as Jupiter stands for wife while Venus is for her father.
If Saturn is located in the second house then the person
is very cunning and shrewd, authoritative and dominating
in behaviour.
The planets of the second house reflect their mild or
favourable effect in the person's later life towards old age.
Offering prayers at a religious place establishes its relation
with the second house where the object related to the
planet is offered. If almonds are offered in a temple then
Saturn will be placed in the second house as almond is
associated with Saturn.
There shall be favourable results to a person if the
planets in the second, the sixth and the tenth house in
the horoscope are friendly to each other. The planets of
the second house will hit the planets of the ninth house.
Jupiter seated in this house has the sixth and tenth house
in its aspect. Mars aspects the fifth and the tenth house
and Saturn the fourth and the eleventh house.

Third House (South)

This part of theearth is governed by the zodiac Gemini,
whose Lord is Mars. But Mercury has made its abode over
here. The third house of the horoscope is related to living
and lifeless objects associated with Mars. Mars and
Mercury combine together to form Saturn. The eighth
house stands for peace and prosperity. Hence it is related
to the third house. The disease and illness of the third
house become the cause of death in the eighth house.
 28

The person's wrist is related to the third house. It shall

be activated by the planets of the ninth and the eleventh
house. If there is no planet in the ninth or the eleventh
house, the planets of the third house shall remain neutral.
They will not be fruitful. If something related to a planet
is worn on the wrist then that planet shall be seated in
the third house.
Any planet in the third house will be influenced by
Mars and Mercury. For example if a person has Venus
placed in the third house of his horoscope then he shall
get all possible co-operation from his wife in his field of
profession. The wife shall possess the good and evil
qualities related to Mars and Mercury. She shall have the
depth to understand the things inspired by Mercury.
If there is any planet placed in the ninth or the eleventh
house then naturally the planet of the third house will
start giving the effects of the third house.
If Jupiter is placed in the third house then it will
influence the planets of the seventh house. Mars in the
third house affects the planets of the fifth and the twelfth
house. In case Saturn is placed in the third house then it
will affect the planets of fifth and twelfth houses.
If the planets in the third, seventh and eleventh houses
are friendly, they shall give very favourable effect.
Brothers-sisters, blood relations, friends, relatives, in-
laws, neighbours, etc. come under its influence. It is related
to lever, blood, wild animals, brother or uncle's house,
decoration pieces of the house, brotherhood, etc.
The planets of the third house will hit the planets of
the tenth house.

which is governed by Moon. It is related to mother,
maternal family, grandmother, chest and heart, the power
of giving peace and coolness, milk, water, pious Ganges
water, valley, river, canal, clean water, clean water steam
and sea, i.e. everything that is related to sea.
 Relation of the Planets with each other 29

Moon is related to business, cloth, sea voyage, wealth,

love for cow, horses, person's handwriting, cattle, aquatic
animals, maternal family, juice or juicy fruits, etc.
Moon is supposed to be the mother of all the planets.
The most cruel, rude and violent man becomes humble
before his mother. Even the malicious planets give up their evil
temperament at home. This is why the object related to the
planet giving evil impact are washed away in the flowing
water, i.e. river, canal, valley, etc. so that the evil planet is
placed in the fourth where it shall give up its evii effect.

If the Moon is placed at inauspicious place or house, the

malicious planet is also placed in it by throwing away objects
related to it in water. Then the Moon and Moon related
objects shall become very weak.
If Ketu is placed in the fourth house, when Moon is
placed in the sixth house and the eighth and the twelfth
house are weak, then the person shall be deprived of his
mother. In such a situation it is advised to immerse objects
related to Moon, like milk, rice, pure pearl, etc. in the
flowing water so that the Moon becomes powerful and the
person experiences the benefits due owing to the presence
ofMoon.
The planet ofthefourth house is awakened or activated by the
planet of the tenth house and the planets of the

tenth house will activate those in the fourth house, i.e. if the
planets of the fourth house are good then they will activate
the planets ofthe tenth house. Otherwise it shall remain
neutral. Similarly, the planet ofthe fourth house will be
activated and awakened only by the planet ofthe tenth house
or else it will remain ineffective. If the planet ofthe fourth
house is auspicious then the person can place objects related to
Mars in the eastern part of his own house which is more than
three-year-old or in his father's house. The objects may be loaf,
sugar, weapons, honey, etc. and thus placeMars in the tenth
house.
 30

Jupiter placed in this house will influence the planets

of the eighth and the twelfth house; Mars will affect the
planets of the seventh and the eleventh house while Saturn
will influence the stars of the sixth and the first house.

Sun while Jupiter governs the ninth house. Hence it is
very fruitful if there is good co-relation between the first,
the third and the ninth house. If the stars in the three
houses are weak and inimical in nature, then the person
is likely to suffer and face misery. The combination of Sun
and Jupiter gives the power of progeny to an individual.
Therefore, one predicts about the son by studying this
house.
By all means the tenth house is ruled by Saturn. The
planets of the tenth house will certainly be harmful to the
planets in the fifth house, irrespective of the fact whether

(from left to right) we have the number of houses given.
Illustration—The natal has completed his twelfth
year on 7.6.1997 and now is running in his thirteenth year.
In order to make his yearly prediction we have to look
into the first column for the figure of 13.
Now, we look at natal's birth chart given earlier. The
houses are to be filled accordingly by looking at the table.
There is no planet in the first house of the birth chart.
Ketu and Saturn are placed in the second house. Hence in
the given table number five is written below the second
house of thebirth chart. So Ketu and Saturn will be placed
Annual Forecast (Varshphal) 41
in the fifth house. In the same way the houses shall be
placed according to the table.
In this way the annual chart is prepared. This helps
in making predictions for a particular year.
 NATURE OF PLANETS

All the traditional nine planets are mentioned in Lai

Kitab, but there has been no reference to Pluto, Neptune
and Uranus. The names and signs of the planets alluded
in the Lai Kitab are the usual traditional ones. Strangely
enough different forms are given to the planets in Lai Kitab
like the planet giving the effect of permanent house,
equivalent planet, sin or sinful planet, equal planets, pious
planets, etc.
Number of Planets and Gender
Lai Kitab advocates nine planets, viz., the seven
planets fiom Sun to Saturn and two other planets which
are regarded as shadow planets (Chhaya graha)—Rahu
and Ketu.
The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are regarded as male
planets while Moon and Venus are supposed to be female.
Saturn and Mercury are regarded as neutral planets. Rahu
and Ketu are the allies of Saturn.
Superior (Uccha) or Inferior (Neecha) position
of the planets, the Signification (Karaka) of the
Planets
The twelve zodiacs are named in the twelve divisions
of the finger starting fiom l-Aries, 2-Taurus, 3-Gemini,
etc. All the planets are then immersed in the houses of
sea. The zodiacs were drowned but the numbers remained
floating and took the place of houses. The Lai Kitab speaks
of the lower or superior position of the house instead of
zodiacs. This has been duly explained in the following
tables.

house, Rahu does not give its fruits.
(hi) When Rahu and Moon are seated together in a
house, the power of Moon is diminished..
(iv) When Ketu and Sun are placed together in a
house, the effect of Sun is reduced.
Blind Planets
If the planets situated in the tenth house are debihtated,
i.e.—evil, sinful or inimical to each other, then they tend
to behave as blind. Their behaviour becomes unpredictable
and uncertain.
Artificial Planets
When the combined strength of two planets is equal
to the third planet, then it can by itself replace the two
planets. It is called artificial planet as an original planet
with its name is already present in horoscope.

Sinner Planet
Rahu-Ketu are known as sinner planets, according to
Lai Kitab. Rahu and Ketu are jointly called sinners.
Established Planet
The planet which is capable of giving its good or evil
effect irrespective of any other condition is known as
established planet {Kayam Graha).
Pious Planet (Dharmi Graha)
Rahu, Ketu and Saturn are sinful planets but under
special conditions they become pious. Rahu-Ketu become
pious when they are seated in the fourth house. When
they are placed with Moon in any house they become
saintly. Saturn becomes pious in the eleventh house. If it
is placed with Jupiter in any house, once again it takes a
saintly form.
The pious planets do not give any trouble to any house
or any other planet and are usually non-malefic. They
remain indifferent to the effect of the other planets.
 46
However, there is no certainty that the pious planets will
give only good effect.
Competing Planets (Muqabala Ke Graha)
If one of the two friendly planets reaches the
permanent house of the other planet but the other planet
is somehow not able to reach the permanent house of his
friend then they become competing planets. They no more
behave as friends. The behaviour of the planet that has
reached the friend's house becomes suspicious and
deceitful. It destroys the effect of the other planet. For
example, Sun and Mars are friends. Mars is able to reach
the lagna but Sun is not able to reach the third or the
eighth house. Mars undergoes change in his attitude and
no more behaves as a friend. During such a situation both
the planets are likely to destroy the effect of each other.
Friendly Planet (Saathi Graha)
When the two planets reach the house of each other
they tend to become friends. If two friendly planets reach
the neighbouring houses, again they are friendly. If the
inimical planets are placed in neighbouring houses, they
never become friends.
Aspect (Drishti) of Planets
According to Astrology each planet has a particular
aspect. Wherever it is placed, it has an eye on the seventh
house. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have their own special
aspects. Lai Kitab gives a different theory which has been
explained in the table below:
House Where the Planet House which
is Placed comes in aspect

 Nature of Planets 47
No planet is able to look at the planets in the houses
which are at the back. The houses which are in its front
fall within its aspect. But the eighth house is an exception.
Dormant/Blind Planets and Houses
The dormant planets and the houses are awakened
and activated by various means like worshipping, making
offerings or using some relief measures. The dormant
planets are awakened by prayers and worship according
to their nature. The chart given below tells which planet
has to be appeased to awaken the respective house.
House to be Awakened, Planet to be Appeased
1 Mars
.2 Moon
3 Mercury
4 Moon
5 Sun
6 Rahu
7 Venus
8 Moon
9 Jupiter
10 Saturn
11 Jupiter
12 Ketu
Joint Aspect (Yog Drishti)
Besides the normal aspect of a house there is also an
additional aspect called Yog Drishti. When a planet is in
trouble, it looks at other planets to seek help. This looking
for an assistance is called Yog Drishti, according to Lai
Kitab. The different planets seated in different houses
beseech other planets to get some support and help.
Sometimes the planets give the impact of their intrinsic
nature but sometimes they give the effect of the house in
48

which they are placed. This has been duly explained in

the table below:
House Effects of Planets Effects of House
1 Mars Rahu
2 Rahu, and Ketu Rahu
3 Saturn Saturn (for wealth)
4 Moon Mars, Venus, Ketu
5 Jupiter and Sun
6 Mercury and Ketu Sun, Mars, Jup., Sa
7 Venus
8 Mars
9 Jupiter Saturn
10 Saturn Mercury, Ketu
11 Jupiter and Saturn
12 Rahu Mercury
Any sort of remedy is possible only when the planet is
giving the effect of the house where it is placed. There is
no remedy whatsoever if the planet is not giving the effect
of its own intrinsic nature.
Deceitful Planet
Sometimes a planet does not give any indication
whether it will give good or evil results. It gives a sudden,
unexpected impact. This usually happens when the planet
comes into the tenth house. The following principles are
advocated in the Lai Kitab regarding the behaviour of the
planets.
When the planet moves into the tenth house, its effect
is uncertain. The planet does not become unyielding, but
it becomes unpredictable. It cannot be ascertained whether
it will bear a good or evil fruit. If there is a friendly planet
in the second house then the planet of the tenth house
will also give favourable effect. If the planet of the second
house gives favourable results but the planet of the eighth
 49

house gives evil results, then the stars of the tenth house
will give mixed results. There will be good results in the
beginning and evil results later.
The stars of the third, fifth and ninth houses will give
the results according to their basic tendency. If there is an
inimical planet in the tenth house then there will be a conflict;
they will keep on fighting with each other and
their results prove to be unpredictable. They are even
capable of turning the table in each other's favour During
such tense situations the effect depends on Mpon. If the Moon
is strong owing to its position, strength and aspect then there
will be a favourable effect or else it shall be harmful.
If there is no planet in the tenth house, planet of the
fourth house does not give its effect. In order to obtain
favourable result one must serve and take very good care of
his father and grandfather. He may also feed five blind
people.
Rahu, Ketu and Mercury placed in the tenth house are
always deceitful. Their result is too much dependent on the
relative position of Saturn.
Sacrificial Goat (Bali Ka Bakra)
The planets are often fighting among themselves. They
often harass and trouble each other; they try to spoil each
others' effect. The victimized house throws its impact on a
third house. Eventually the result of that house becomes
malefic. Such planets are called sacrificial goat (Bali Ka
Bakra). Here are some specific examples.
Troubled Saturn-When there is a conflict between the
Sun and the Saturn, it is the Saturn which is afflicted. Saturn
hurls a stone at Venus. Venus is symbolic of the person's
wife who passes away.
Troubled Mercury-On being troubled Mercury also
hurts Venus Hence Venus has to bear the burnt of
Mercury's problem. Consequently, the person becomes
widower.
 50

Troubled Mars-The Sun in the sixth house gives

trouble to Mars seated in the tenth house. Mars passes on its
trouble to Ketu. Consequently the person's son or nephew
suffers and eventually passes away as Ketu is supposed to
afflict the son.
Troubled Venus-If an inimical planet hits its ball to
Venus then the ball hits the house of Venus and bounces back
hitting the Moon. The Moon afflicts the mother of the
person. Consequently he looses his mother. According to Lai
Kitab if Venus and Moon are equally competent in strength
then the mother of the person does not die but becomes
blind.
Troubled Jupiter-The troubled Jupiter also turns his
wrath towards Ketu. If Jupiter is in the fifth house then
Ketu being affected causes suffering to the person's
maternal uncle.
Ketu is also troubled by Sun as a result of which the
person's maternal uncle faces miseries.
The Moon's trouble is passed on to Jupiter, Mars and Sun.
Rahu-Ketu do not pass on their troubles to anyone but face
it bravely.
Troubled House and Yoga-All the planets give
trouble to the planets seated in the eighth house from their
relative position. The afflicted houses look for help towards the
fifth house from their position. Such planets which are
looked upon for help come forward with their
cooperation. This has been explained in the following table:

 ASTROLOGY AND NATURE

OF PLANETS

There are different theories prevalent in the traditional

Astrology which studies different aspects of the art. No
conclusion or prediction can be made by looking into a
single aspect. Various aspects are to be considered before
drawing any conclusion in Astrology.
Here, in this book we shall briefly look into some vital
aspects of Astrology. First of all we shall look into the
nature of planets and their relationship with zodiacs. The
planets according to Indian Astrology are conceived in the
form of Gods. By looking at the qualities of the dominant
planet (God or deity) in a person's horoscope it can be
predicted about the basic characteristics of the person. A
thorough study of the planets also acquaints the astrologer
with the disease which the person might be suffering or is
likely to suffer in future.
 SUN

In fact Sun is a star which consists mainly of hydrogen

and helium. Its distance from earth is approximately 15
crore kilometers. The Sun completes its movement around
its orbit in thirty days. It spreads light and warmth on all
sides by means of its rays.
According to the Pur anas Sun is the son of the saint
Kashyap and Aditi. He is the lord of the sky whose chariot
is drawn by seven horses. The colours of the horses are
seven which are reflected in rainbow. The chariot has only
one wheel which implies the synthesis of the seven colours.
The chariot is always on the move driven by Arun. The
Sun's wife is Sangya who is the daughter of Lord
Vishwakarma. Sun has two children from his wife Sangya,
a son called Yam and daughter Yamuna. Saturn is also
his son from his other wife called Chhaya.
The Sun changes its house on the auspicious day called
Sankranti.
Mode of Worship
The special day for worshipping Sun is the seventh
day of the Shukla Paksha of every month. Sun is
worshipped specifically on the sixth day of Shukla Paksha
in the month of Kartikato begeta good son. IJ is prayed
by invoking Gayatri Mantra.
Characteristics of Sun
A man under the influence of Sun has a very strong,
grave and impressive personality. His height is more than
average but he is not tall, with scanty hair and copper
complexion. He has strong bones and long and sturdy
arms. The eyes are honey coloured with a sparkle of a lion
but lack ferociousness. The face is elongated and wide.
Such a man possesses good temperament and keeps away
54

from vices. The Sun is acidic and sharp in nature. Hence

such people are impressive and hot tempered, but
outwardly they seem to be innocent. They are very
ambitious but normally speak little. If Sun is malicious
the person becomes arrogant, outspoken, hypocrite, brutal
and ill tempered.
Relation with zodiac and other planets
Sun is the lord of zodiac Leo but its exalted sign is
Aries and debilitated sign Libra.
Friend Moon, Mars and Jupiter
Enemies Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu

Ways to Please Sun through Lai Kitab
The Sun gives luminosity to the sky and warmth to
earth. The sun is a grand, benevolent king. Its presence
causes day. It is compared to the soul in the human body.
It is always on its move. Moon, Mars and Mercury are its
essential parts with which- it gives favourable results.
Jupiter gets its wisdom and fortune from Sun. The Sun
sustains life on the earth.

enhances the destiny and fortune. It is pleased by dropping
jaggary in water.

If Sun is placed in the first house, the owner should

instal a hand pump in his house. His destiny shall shine
after ten years. If it is in the second house then Saturn
has to be appeased by offering coconut, oil, or almond in a
temple. The Sun seated in the seventh house shall affect

of the husband a piece of chapati should be offered in fire
before eating.
The Sun in the eighth house is not good. The person
has long life. He is very much attracted towards women
and lives through many miseries. A dying person shall
not pass away easily before him. It is advisable that he
keeps away so that the person can pass away smoothly. It

800 gms of jaggery and an equal amount of wheat and
offer them daily for eight days in a temple. He must look

Sun. The house should have a courtyard.
A house ofSun
The door of the house of such a person should be in the

Moon is the satellite of the earth. Its diameter is 3,500

kilometers. It is about four lac kilometers from the earth.
The moon completes its rotation around the earth in 27.25

how heated up Sun is while giving an order, Moon executes
it with a cool mind and desires to remain placed at the
feet of Sun. Moon is influenced by Jupiter and increases a
person's longevity. Moon reigns over the night. Rahu
influences the early part of life, i.e. evening and Ketu
affects the last part of night, i.e. early morning. Saturn
takes care of the entire night.

Mars according to Lai Kitab
A person influenced by Mars is simple, noble and
strong. He is a good protector but not being able to think
he tends to lean towards evil. If it is favourable the person
is brave as a lion but if it is unfavourable the person is a
coward and tries to escape from things. It controls eating
and drinking ability; the person is loved and served by
his relatives and friends and enjoys good health and
wealth. Navel in the body is the centre of Mars and controls
blood.

approximately at a distance of( 6 crore kilometers from Sun.
It has a distinct speed of 48 kilometers per second; it
completes its round around the Sun in merely 90 days but
takes 60 days to move on its axis.
In mythology there is a strange reference to the birth of
Mercury. Moon had eloped with Jupiter's wife—Tara. At the
request of gods Moon returned Tara but at that time she was
with a child. It is believed that Moon's son Mercury was

 62

Relation with zodiac and other planets

Mercury is the lord of the signs Gemini and Virgo;
Pisces is its debilitated sign while Virgo is exalted.
Friends Sun, Venus, Rahu
Enemies Moon
Neutral Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu
Mercury according to Lai Kitab
Mercury is the lord of the field of vegetation. It uses
its brain and intellect in doing work. It is proficient in
business and the artistic jobs but is also the lord of the
place that is vacant.
Mercury is not able to do anything by itself; it is useless
and powerless when seated alone. It strengthens the planet
with which it is seated. If a planet is unfavourably placed,
then its evil effect will be enhanced. If there is a favourable
planet then its effects shall be enhanced. Mercury is very
favourable if it is placed with Sun provided there is no
other enemy planet seated with it or else the effect shall
become unfavourable. Mercury is the lord of teeth, nerves
and veins in a person's body. An ordinary remedy to please
Mercury is to pierce a hole in a copper piece and drop it in
flowing water.
House of Mercury
The house shall be a wide one on all four sides, i.e. not
congested. There will be trees around the house with broad
leaves.
 JUPITER

Jupiter is the largest planet; its diameter is roughly

about 1.5 lac kilometres. It is located approximately at the
distance of 78 crore kilometres from the Sun. Jupiter moves
around the Sun approximately at a speed of 13 kilometre
per second and completes its round in 12 years. It takes 10
hours to revolve on its axis. It has 14 satellites.
According to mythology Jupiter is the son of saint
Angira. In Rig Veda he is depicted as having seven faces,
beautiful tongue and carries a bow and arrow in one hand and
holds golden animal in the other. He is very intelligent and
eloquent. He has 12 rays and possesses a golden chariot
which is drawn by 8 swift horses of red and white colour. In
hierarchy he is placed above Mars; Saturn is placed below him.
Jupiter is the symbol of knowledge and wisdom. It is
the lord of a person's destiny and morality. It dispels
ignorance in the heart.
Characteristics
Jupiter is tall, yellow complexioned and heavily built. It
has surplus of flesh on body. Hair and eyes are brownish, chest
broad and stomach large. A person under the influence
of Jupiter will have a short forehead and a sharp, long nose.
The voice shall be distinct and impressive. He is
predominantly affected by cough. He is virtuous,
possesses good intellect and a distinguished thinking
capability. He is neither very much attached to anyone nor
does he remain absolutely aloof. But he is prepared to go to
any extreme for his own conviction. In general, he is a
careless person but enjoys royal comforts. He is a great
scholar, well equipped in knowledge of warfare. If Jupiter is
favourable then the natal becomes a proud person. He tries
to influence others even though he has hardly any
64

knowledge about the concerned subject. Such people are

responsible for scams in well placed institutions.
Jupiter affects lungs, neck, nose and skin in the human
body. It regulates knowledge about the job, patience,
farsightedness, morality, pride, etc.
Relation with zodiac and other planets
Jupiter is the lord of the sign Aquarius and Pisces. It
holds an exalted position with Cancer and a debilitated
position with Capricorn.
Friends Sun, Moon, Mars
Enemies Mercury, Venus
Neutral Saturn, Rahu, Ketu
Jupiter according to Lai Kitab
Jupiter is the universal guru (teacher) and the lord of
destiny. A man is bom with his destiny enclosed in his
fist. Jupiter has the record of a person's previous life and
treasures. It becomes the cause 6f birth and death. It is
the lord of the world as well as of heaven. It emanates
itself in the moving air which moves around the man
everywhere. It is the driving force behind the other planets.
It urges Rahu and Ketu to act. Sun, Moon and Mars start
giving favourable results when associated with Jupiter.
But it is inimical to Mercury. Mercury has the power to
turn the gold of Jupiter into dust. Its simple remedy is to
rub saffron on the navel or keep it on the tongue and eat
it. If Jupiter is not suitable to a person, gold shall be lost
or stolen. He may loose his reputation. It is advised to
wear gold on body and immerse almond, oil and coconut
in flowing water.
House of Jupiter
The house of the person under the influence of Jupiter
shall be related to wind. The courtyard shall be situated
in a comer, left, right or in the end. It can never be situated
in centre. The main entrance of the house shall be in north-
south. A Peepal tree or some rehgious building like temple,
 VENUS

The approximate diameter of Venus is 12,000

kilometers. It is situated roughly at a distance of 11 crore
kilometers from the Sun. It moves around the Sun at an
approximate speed of 35 kilometers per second and
completes the round in 225 days.
According to the mythology it is a glowing planet which
is visible in the morning and evening. It is the son of Kavi
and is commonly known as Shukracharya who is also
famous as guru of demons. It is an expert in Yoga. The
name of its wife was Shatprabha. In hierchy it is superior to
Mercury and is supported by Brahma and controls life by
providing rains. It is the planet which causes fear and
fearlessness among people.
In Puranas Venus is depicted in a female form, i.e. as
daughter ofBhrigu.
Venus is the most beautiful and sparkling planet.
Hence it is regarded as symbolic of beauty. Moon stands
for motherhood while Venus stands for a different form of
female, i.e. as a companion and associate of male; it
develops its personality in competition with man to become a
complete woman. But for that very reason it falls into
bondage.
Characteristic
A person under the influence of Venus is beautiful,
has glowing and attractive personality. All the parts of the
body are proportional Venus has dark, curly hair and large
and round eyes. The person is primarily affected by
problems related to gastric trouble and cough. Such a
person is virtuous, happy, cheerful, soft-spoken and fives a
luxurious and comfortable fife. The person is always
conscious of his looks and physical appearance. IfVenus
 66

is unfavourable, he has a loose character and does not

enjoy a good reputation in society.
It controls songs, sperms and private parts of the body.
It regulates lust, love, marriage, passions, etc.
Relation with zodiac and other planets
Venus is the lord of thesign Taurus and Libra. It holds
an exalted position when placed in the house of Pisces.
Virgo is its debilitated sign.
Friends Mercury, Saturn, Ketu
Enemies Sun, Moon
Neutral Mars, Jupiter, Rahu
Venus according to LalKitab
Lai Kitab believes that Venus is in no way related to
the physical world; it is the power of love which unites
two people. Venus controls a person's family hfe. In a man's
horoscope it reflects his wife while in a female's horoscope
it is symbolic of the husband. If Venus is placed alone in a
house, it never brings evil effect to anyone. But if it is
placed with Sun, and Saturn, it gives unfavourable effects.
As a remedy a person would be advised to donate a cow or
give it its feed. It is also advisable to donate oil.
 SATURN

The diameter of Saturn is approximately 1.25 lac

kilometers. It is located at an approximate distance of 1.5
million kilometers from Sun. It moves roughly at a speed of
10 kilometers per second and completes its round in 30
years. Owing to the rings around it, Saturn is regarded as the
most beautiful planet of the universe. In size it stands next to
Jupiter; it revolves around its axis in 9 hours only. It has 10
satellites.
According to the mythological references Saturn is the
son of the Sun from his wife Chhaya. It became a planet
according to his father's command but became cruel
because of a curse from wife. One day Saturn was busy in his
religious meditation when its wife approached it in a lustful
mood. Saturn continued meditating and remained unmindful
of her. This enraged her and cursed that the person at
whom it would cast eyes would be destroyed.
Saturn is generally believed to be giving ill effects to
people. It is very dark complexioned, i.e. almost black and is
regarded as a Shudra. Hawk and male buffalo are
supposed to be its vehicle. Lord Ganesha was under the
unfavourable influence of Saturn when his head was
chopped off.
Saturn is appeased by offering black flowers to the
idol of Saturn made of iron on Saturday, especially if it is in
the fourth, eighth or twelfth house.
Saturn is generally believed to be casting evil effects.
Soon after his birth its effect on father Sun made it suffer
from leprosy and his coachman (sarathi) Aron became
handicapped. If we look at the form of Saturn earnestly we
find that it is the wieldier ofjustice; it uses whip to control
the overambitious and restless mind.
68

Characteristics
The person under the influence of Saturn is usually
dry and dark complexioned; he is tall, lean and thin,
apparently like an aged person. His hair are rough, thick
and hard and eyes round, deep-rooted with yellow,
brownish or red tinge. He does not blink eyes very
frequently. Saturn is lame with thick nails and teeth.
Eyebrows are usually straight with scanty hair. He has
small ears. His physique is basically dominated by
maladies related to gastric problems. He is very cruel,
foolish, fond of vices but a fool. He is extremely shrewd,
obstinate and capable of overpowering the enemy.
If Saturn is favourably placed, the person is a thinker
and a loner. It controls the veins, hair, and bald head. It
regulates serious thoughts, caution, concentration, narrow
mindedness, shrewdness, laziness, wickedness, sorrow,
suffering, death, etc.
Relation with zodiac and other planets
Saturn is the lord of the zodiac Capricorn and
Aquarius. It holds an exalted position when placed in the
house of Libra and debilitated in the house of Aries.
Friends Mercury, Venus, Rahu
Enemies Sun, Moon, Mars
Neutral Jupiter, Ketu
Saturn according to Lai Kitab
Saturn looks after the vision of each and every person
in the world. It keeps the record of good and evil deeds of
every person. It is the protector and wieldier of law. It
takes care that everyone gets his due in accordance with
his deeds.
In the absence of Saturn everything in the world would
have been topsy turvy. Saturn helps man in obtaining
salvation and achieve ultimate goal. It also inspires man
to drift towards detachment.
Rahu-Ketu are the two assistants of Saturn. Saturn is
also likened to snake (Kaalsarpa) whose mouth is Rahu
 Saturn 69

and Ketu. The three of them join hands to set the world
right by punishing all those who deserve being punished.
Rahu issues challan of conviction in the court of Saturn
while Ketu acts as a lawyer speaking in defence of the
person. The Saturn passes the verdict on the basis of Ketu's
presentation of the case.
Saturn and Venus are friends and protectors. Even
though it is the son of the Sun, it is against him; one
represents the day while the other night. The remedy is
to donate oil in a vessel.
House of Saturn
The planet is associated with the boundary of any
house. As it acts just the opposite of the Sun, so the main
entrance of the house will be located in the west. If the
last room of the house is situated on the right hand side of
the entrance and is utterly dark, then it will give very
good results. If sunlight enters into the room, it means
confrontation between Saturn and the Sun and total
distraction.
The house of the Saturn-dominated person has stones
laid in it. Old wood might have been used in building its
door-frames and pillar.
 RAHU

Astrology also does not accept physical existence of

Rahu and Ketu. They are known as chhaya graha (shadow
planets). The function of Rahu and Ketu, it is believed, is
to put obstacles and not allow any work to be completed.
According to the mythological references, Rahu is the
son of the demon Harinyakashyap's daughter Simhika.
In Puranas, it is referred to as a snake who stung the
Sun.
Characteristics
Rahu is black, blue or smoke coloured. It is very ugly,
terrific, tall and has a gigantic and huge body. It
apparently looks like an old person and has a prominent
chin. Its eyes are small like that of an elephant or it is
single eyed. It suffers from ailments related to acidity. It
is non-religious, foolish, hypocrite and enjoys speaking ill
of others and slandering their reputation. It is a liar and
shameless creature. It is as selfish as a cat and is always
on the look out for destructive ways.
The person ruled by Rahu is fond of collecting things
but does not take care of them properly. In its favourable
position Rahu helps in unveiling secret mysteries. It helps
one in obtaining justice, is social reformer, but it believes
in ancient traditions.
Rahu governs the head portion of the body, arms, chin,
nape and thoughts. It regulates conspiracy, plot hatching,
deception, lying, forming a group, black marketing,
spreading rumours, dreams, etc.
Relation with zodiacs and other planets
Rahu holds his position in the zodiac Virgo. It has an
exalted position in the house of Gemini and is debilitated
with Aquarius.
Rahu 71

Friends Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Ketu

Enemies Sun, Moon, Mars
Neutral Jupiter
Rahu according to Lai Kitab
Rahu is the lord of imagination and thinking capability
of man in the universe. It helps man in protecting him by
vanquishing enemies. It soothes the person on being hurt.
Rahu is the lord of the blue expanse of the sky. If it is
favourable it is capable of making the world bow before
him, but if malicious, it can harm the person by way of
lightening, earthquake, volcano, theft, robbery or any kind
of deception.
Rahu and Ketu do not have any mount in the palm of
the hand but are reflected as net (Rahu) and trishual and
swastika (Ketu). Rahu is pleased by donation of radish
and dropping coal in flowing water. If Rahu is weak in a
person's horoscope, he should give broken lentil gram
(Masoor Dal) to the sweeper in the morning. It is also
beneficial to give money as charity to the sweeper. Barley
can be kept at the bedside and distributed among the
animals or poor.
House of Rahu
There may be an unseen hole in the right hand side of
the house when the person under the influence of Rahu is
entering his house. There may be an outlet of water just
under the main entrance. The neighbour living just
opposite the house may be childless or no one might be
living in that house. Terrace of thehouse might have been
renovated several times but the walls might have
remained the same. Dirty water might be accumulated
just beside the house or there may be smoke emitting from
the next door.
 KETU

Like Rahu, Ketu is also a chhaya graha (shadow

planet), i.e. it is not believed to have an independent
existence as a planet. It is associated with Saturn.
Characteristics
Ketu is strange looking, black-white or smoke coloured.
The person dominated by the influence of Ketu is lean
and short. The upper portion of the body is heavily built
but the lower part is comparatively thin. He has big ears
and the temple region is quite prominent. The eyes are
red and he has loud voice. He is possessed by inferior
desires, is obstinate and cruel in temperament. If Ketu is
favourable the person proves to be extremely loyal to his
master or anyone he considers as his mentor.
Ketu governs ears, feet, almost the entire body except
the head portion, backbone, urinary tube, etc. It regulates
penance, silence, salvation, greed, slandering names of
others, speaking, hearing, etc.
Relation with zodiac and other planets
Ketu is associated with the zodiac Pisces. It holds an
exalted position when placed in the house of Sagittarius.
Friends Mercury, Venus, S atum, Rahu
Enemies Sun, Moon, Mars
Neutral Jupiter
Ketu according to Lai Kitah
Ketu is a great advisor, a messenger of peace and the
lord of voyage. It is the planet which extends its support
to the person till the end of his life but if it is unfavourable
it beats the person in some way or the other and deprives
him of everything. No matter how badly it may afflict a
person but he never goes to the extreme of killing him.
Ketu 73

Ketu tends to be beneficial if it is placed with Jupiter.

It acts as a seat of Jupiter on which Jupiter meditates or
sits like a faithful dog of the saint which is none else but
Jupiter.
Ketu tends to be a means to salvation. It is generally
pleased by offering chapatis to dogs.
House of Ketu
The house is generally related with children. The
environment is not good. The people living there often face
deception. The house is located in a comer. Either there
are houses on three sides with one side vacant or there is
a house on one side while the remaining three sides around
the house are open. There shall not be more than three
sons or grandsons. If there is one son, then he shall have
three grandsons but if he has three sons then only one
son and grandson shall survive. There will be a road
leading to two sides fiom the front of the house. One of its
adjoining house would be in ruins or an open field where
dogs roam about.
 FRIENDLINESS, ENMITY

BETWEEN PLANETS

Normally we find that the seven planets are friendly

with the planets which fall into 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12th position
from their original triangular zodiac. The remaining
planetary lords of the zodiacs are enemies. If any of these is
both friend as well as enemy then he becomes neutral.
This can be explained by an illustration-The original
zodiac house of Sun is Leo. Moon is the lord of its 12th
house whose zodiac is Cancer. Hence the Sun and the Moon
are friends. Mars is fourth (Scorpio) from Leo and (Lord of
ninth -Aries). Therefore they are friends. Similarly, the
zodiac Gemini of Mercury is in the eleventh house of Leo.
Hence Mercury tends to be enemy but Virgo is in the second
house of Leo. Therefore Mercury becomes a friend.
Consequently, Mercury becomes neutral to the Sun.
If we carefully study the relationship of the planets we
discover that no planets besides Rahu and Ketu
are inimical to Moon. Jupiter is not inimical to any planet.
Relationship of Rahu-Ketu is determined on the basis of
divine and demonic planets. They are enemies of the divine
(Dev) planets like Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter and
friendly with Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mercury.

deceitful, foolish, lazy, etc.

Auspicious and wicked Planets

Auspicious planets
Moon, Mercury, Ketu and Jupiter are serially most
auspicious planets.
 76

Wicked Planets (Krur)

Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu are serially more wicked.
Mercury is in itself an auspicious planet, but it becomes
an evil with wicked planets. It becomes all the more wicked
if placed with auspicious planets.
Moon is also primarily an auspicious planet but from
the sixth day of Krishna Pakash to Amavasya the strength
of Moon is less powerful.
From Pratipada of Shukla Paksha to the tenth day its
power is of medium strength.
From eleventh day of Shukla Paksha to fifth day of
Krishna Paksha it is in its full form, i.e. with maximum
power.
Difference between the effect of Jupiter and Venus
Jupiter is a divine teacher (gum) while Venus is a devil
teacher (guru). Venus helps people in acquiring
materialistic values while Jupiter helps the person in
obtaining spiritual values. Venus makes the person selfish
while Jupiter inspires him to think of the well-being of
others.
Difference between the cruelty of Saturn and Mars
Although Saturn is cruel but its ultimate result is good.
Just as gold emerges out sparkling after being burnt in
the furnace of fire, Saturn purifies the man by means of
punishments. It has an effect of catharsis, the man
emerges as a ftee and pious man after getting liberated of
the evil deed. Mars, on the other hand, fills the man with
excitement and cheerfulness; the man is inspired by
egoistic feelings which drive him to evil and violent deeds.

other place. She should look at the new bom infant
only after the baby is 43 days old or else it shall

Remedies for evil effect due to the combination of
planets
(1) If Sun and Jupiter are placed together in a
horoscope then the person is likely to go through
financial problems. As a remedy the natal is
advised to use objects related to Jupiter. He may
eat saffron and wear gold ring.
(2) When Sun and Saturn are placed together in a
horoscope, the natal's wife is likely to face very
ill health. He is advised to donate cattle feed
(chari) equal to the weight of his wife.
(3) When Sun and Saturn are placed together in a
horoscope, first of all it should be seen which
planet is more powerful and then apply the
remedy accordingly. If Sun is in the stronger
position he should donate copper but if Saturn is
in the stronger place he should donate iron and
sesame.
 82

(4) When Sun and Rahu are placed together in a

house in the horoscope then the person is likely
to suffer from tuberculosis, etc. or the maladies
caused by Rahu. It is advised to immerse objects
related to Rahu such as coal and mustard in the
river at the time of solar eclipse.
(5) When Rahu and Moon are placed together in a
house, the natal should immerse coal and mustard
in the flowing water on the occasion of lunar
eclipse.
(6) If Mars and Mercury are placed together in a
house then the health of the natal's younger sister
will be badly affected as mercury is related to
sister. As a remedy the objects related to Mars
should be buried under the ground in a deserted
place. Honey and aniseed can be kept in a surahi
(pitcher) and buried under the ground in a
secluded place.
Effect and remedies of the planets on the basis of
placement in the house
Lai Kitab believes that the planet sitting in its own
house always gives favourable effect.
Mars in 1st house, Venus in 2nd house, Mercury in
3rd house, Moon in 4th house, Sun in 5th house, Mercury
and Ketu in 6th house, and Venus in 7th house always
give auspicious effects to the natal.
Mars is the lord of the 8th house. It gives favourable
effects if it is placed alone but if it is placed with Saturn
or Moon, it starts giving malign effect.
Jupiter is the Lord of the9th house and gives beneficial
results. The 10th house is deceitful. Any planet sitting in
this house acts deceitfully. They give good effect if they
are seated in the 2nd or the 11th house. Saturn gives
favourable effect in the llthhouse. Jupiter is auspicious
in the 12th house.
 EFFECT OF PLANETS

AND

ANNUAI/HOROSCOPE

When a planet located in a specific house of the

horoscope moves in the same house in the annual
horoscope then it gives auspicious results.
A planet holds an exalted position in a particular house in
horoscope when the same position comes in the annual
horoscope. To give an example, Mars placed in the 10th
house is supposed to hold an exalted position. When the
same position of the planet arrives in the annual
horoscope, it give auspicious results.
Dont's
(i) If Rahu is placed in the 4th house of the annual
horoscope it is advised that the person should
abstain from doing any work related with Rahu in
that year as there is likelihood of some sort of
conflict or problem.
(ii) If Jupiter is placed in the 4th house of the birth
horoscope or annual horoscope, the natal should
never get apeepal tree chopped off or ill treat a
saint. This may lead to his own destruction.
(iii) If Ketu is placed in the 12th house, the person
should never get a dog killed. It shall give very
malicious effect.

Jupiter is free to move throughout the universe. That
is why it is called the lord of planets. When we have to
know about son then first of all the position of the Jupiter
is studied.
Along with the friendly planets
When Jupiter is placed with Moon, it increases the
power to give birth to son.
When Jupiter is seated with Mars, its power is
increased to multiples. They can govern Rahu, an enemy
planet to Jupiter and Mars, to give better results.
When Jupiter is placed with Sun, it increases the fame,
popularity and makes the person a powerful and forceful
administrator.
Effect with enemy planets
Jupiter has three enemy planets, which are always
ready to affect him in an evil manner.
The first enemy of Jupiter is Mercury, whose venom
is nullified by the Sun. Jupiter or Mercury's evil effects
are checked by Saturn who is controlling the eleventh
house of Jupiter, that is why eleventh house never gives
bad effects to Jupiter. Jupiter inspires Rahu-Ketu in the
judicial matters.
Position of Rahu and Ketu decides the good or bad
effect of Saturn. If Rahu and Ketu both are weak then
natal has to bear the adverse effect of Saturn.
Even if Saturn is sitting in good position but moving
through the weak houses then natal has very poor chances
of his defence. When Jupiter will move into the fifth house
of Sun or into the 10th or llth house of Saturn then the
evil effect of the debilitated house will change to good effect.
Similarly, when Sun, Saturn, will be in 2, 5, 9 or 12th
house of Jupiter then the debilitated effect of Mercury
will change to the much auspicious effects of the Jupiter.
Sun or Saturn will be changing the adverse effect owing
to the aspect of Jupiter and Mercury.
92

Venus is another enemy of Jupiter. When Venus gives

malign effects to Jupiter then the help of its friends, Sun
and Mars, is sought to nullify the effect.
Similarly, when Jupiter is affected with Rahu, then
Moon, Mars and Sun can be used for the remedial purpose.
When Jupiter is badly effected with Mercury then Sun
and Saturn would be helpful.
When Jupiter is effected with Venus then we must
take the help of Sun and Mars for remedial purpose.
Characteristics
Jupiter is the I.ord of fame, name and high position,
but when it is weak, all these effects are wiped off within
no time. When Jupiter is sitting in the fourth house, which
is supposed to give strong and good results, natal might
malign its effect due to his own deeds. He may not give
due respect to his father, grandfather or other elderly
people, which would change the auspicious effect of Jupiter
to malicious one.
Jupiter in first house
Normally, when Jupiter is in the first house of
horoscope which is the lagna, then the natal is supposed
to enjoy respectable and happy life, but if the natal eats
evil food and consumes drinks, then his evil karmas will
malign the effects of Jupiter.
Jupiter can again give good results if natal amends
his behaviour and improves his eating habits.
If because of the placement of some planets in some
debilitated houses Jupiter is not giving its good effect, then
we must change the positions of the other planets or must
find out the problems and remedies.
We have just mentioned the effects of Jupiter, but the
impact of other planets are also to be seen.
As we are aware of the fact that any person who has
thousands of good qualities, may be having some bad
qualities too, similarly a good planet also has some bad
 Planets and Their Effects 93

effects. It is not necessary that only the placement of the

evil planets in the weaker position will give bad effects.
So, it will not be wise to think that only the weak planets
will be giving bad effects. One should never think that if
the good planets are sitting in good positions, the evil
planets would become ineffective.
Evil effects
Even though Jupiter is placed in lagna, the following
bad effects are observed sometimes.
1. Natal has no prestige and reputation in society.
2. Natal has no son.
3. Natal is not enjoying married life.
4. Natal is surrounded by enemies.
5. Natal is not supported by friends.
Causes
1. Natal might be wearing a garland of beads.
2. Natal might have insulted his father, grandfather,
any old person, family priest, etc.
3. Natal might have built up a temple in the
premises of his house or any peepal tree might
have been chopped off by him or may not be
properly cared for.
4. Natal might be ill treating cow, his wife, ladies
and maid servant.
5. The enemy planets may have been in 2, 5, 9, 11,
12th houses.

6. Friendly planets in the horoscope of the natal

might not be in a position close to Jupiter or in
its aspect.
Remedies
1. Natal should nullify the 1-3 causes.
2. Natal should offer the items related to mercury,
Venus or Saturn in a temple or drop in a flowing
river. They should be donated.
94

3. Serve cow, please Mercury, and help poor people.

4. When Saturn is in the fifth house, do not construct
house.
5. When Saturn is in the ninth house, avoid buying
machinery related to Saturn.
6. When Saturn is in the eleventh or the twelfth
house, avoid wine, non-vegetarian food and eggs.
7. Wear silver in nose and get rid of maligned effects
of Mercury.
Jupiter in second house
Second house is the land of Jupiter where Venus has
made its abode. This house is equally affected by Jupiter
and Venus. Since both are inimical planets, so whenever
Jupiter will get a chance he would certainly harm Venus
and vice versa.
When natal will do business in gold, it will adversely
affect Venus (wife, grandfather). Then the goods related
to Venus will be profitable.
Second house is related with wife and her parents.
Hence when Jupiter is in the second house, it will harm
the wife and her parents, etc. Hence if the goods related
to Venus (feminine) are dealt with, that is farming, land,
soil, etc. it will definitely give positive effect. Even though
the health of wife may not be good but natal will gain
prestige, status, and wealth. Even in-laws may be badly
affected but natal will be benefited.
Since Jupiter is the Lord of productivity (Utpati), there.
will be obstruction in productivity. He may not become
father as long as his own father is alive.
Such type of persons will always be appreciated by
ladies even though he may be rude to them. He will
certainly get father's property. If 2, 6, 8 houses are not
debilitated and Saturn is not in the tenth house, then the
natal may get lottery or unexpected money. His mother
will be soft hearted.
 Planets and Their Effects 95

Evil effects
The natal may often face financial crises and be
insulted now and then. There may be loss of wealth.
Causes
1. Natal might be mean minded, and may not offer
a glass of water to visitor to his house.
2. May treat gold, father, grandfather with business
like attitude.
3. Mercury, Rahu may be placed in eighth and sixth
houses and Saturn may be in the tenth house.
Remedies
1. Keep faith in charity.
2. Serve and give due respect to visitor to your house.
He must be received warmly.
3. Practise remedies of the weak planets of sixth
and eighth houses.
4. Feed milk to snake to nullify the malign effect of
Saturn sitting in tenth house.
Jupiter in third house
Third house is the abode of Mercury but land of Mars.
This house belongs to Mercury and the ninth house belongs
to Jupiter whereas mercury while sitting in the ninth
house is giving a reverse aspect to third and fifth houses.
Hence if Saturn is in the fourth house, it will be treated
as being influenced by Mars and Mercury of the third
house, which is holding ninth and fifth houses in aspects.
Saturn of the fifth house is harmful, particularly for son.
Hence son or maternal uncle related with the fifth house
will be suffering. All the materials related with Saturn
will give bad effect; they should be avoided.
The person whose Jupiter is sitting in the third house
should worship goddess Durga, and serve his brothers and
live with love and affection with his family members. He
should avoid Saturn-related work like snatching and
 96

fraud. Consequently, the natal may be a very rich and

famous person.
Evil effect
Natal may be in tight financial position, insulted,
coward and ill tempered. He may lead his family to misery.
Cause
Such type of person might be a cheat, fraud, liar, and
may be too outspoken and hypocrite.
Remedy
1. The person having Jupiter in third house should
worship little girls (age less than 10 years) and
seek their blessings, should feed them well, offer
sweets and touch their feet.
2. Avoid speaking lie.
3. Avoid flatterers.
4. Must help family members, brothers and
relatives.
5. Avoid deceitful behaviour, drinking wine, eating
meat, eggs, etc.
6. Never cheat friends.
7. If any enemy planet of Jupiter is sitting in 2,5, 9,
11, 12, then practise the remedy accordingly to
please that planet.
Jupiter in fourth house
Fourth house is fully governed by Moon. Since Jupiter
and Moon are friends, Jupiter gives good results by all
means. If Sun along with Mars is placed in some good
position then the father of the natal must be involved in
doing public welfare; father or grandfather's income will
increase after his birth. Natal will acquire property,
wealth, etc. and will flourish because Jupiter and Moon
will be giving good effects. Objects related to Jupiter and
Moon will give benefits to natal.
Natal will be having all the good qualities of Jupiter
such as maturity, sincerity and good care of others. These
 Planets and Their Effects 97

qualities will be maintained alongwith the qualities of

Moon such as soft heart, etc. Even though the person may
not be much intelligent but will be certainly very rich. He
may get money through lottery, or through' unknown
source, may be benefited by getting unclaimed property.
Any journey by way of sea or air will be beneficial for the
natal. He will be earning good name, fame, and prestige
in the government/society, will be capable of solving
disputes of others. Whenever he will be in soup, by the
grace of God he will come out of it with the help of
unexpected sources.
Natal will be capable to give shelter to many people,
like a huge banyan tree. He will be treating all human
beings equally. With the increase in age all means of
comforts and prosperity will go up. Any business related
to Jupiter and Moon are beneficial.
Evil effects
1. When the Jupiter is placed in the fourth house,
and natal has no benefits mentioned earlier, i.e.
he might not be having his mother or father.
2. Father lived in poor state and natal is also living
in poor state.
3. Natal is not enjoying a happy married life.
Cause
1. Natal may be maintaining a temple in the
premises of the house, and must be worshipping
God by ringing bell. Hence the effect of Jupiter is
destroyed.
Remedies
1. Temple should be removed from the house.
2. Natal must serve the peepal tree which is close
to his house.
3. Must give due honour and respect to his parents,
elderly persons, Brahmins andpurohits.
4. Should not keep any animal related to mercury
like parrot, sheep, goat, etc.
 98

5. If he keeps a cow then cow shed should be in west

direction of the house.
6. Must obey elderly persons.
7. Should never uncover his body in front of anyone
8. Should keep away from wine, meat and any
objects related with Saturn.
9. Feed milk to snake whenever possible.
10. Should follow the remedy for the inimical planets
of Jupiter. Thereafter Jupiter will start giving the
benefit of fourth house.
Jupiter in fifth house
The land of the fifth house belongs to Jupiter which is
related with the happiness coming from son. Since Jupiter
is the lord of productivity, the natal will prosper with the
birth of his each son. Fifth house will be having the mixed
impact of Sun, Ketu and Jupiter. Fifth house is the own
house of Sun. If Ketu is with Jupiter, it gives good results.
The land of the house is owned by Jupiter. Hence the sons
of the natal will certainly gain prestige in government
segment and society. If the friendly planets of Jupiter are
placed in the first and the ninth house, then first, fifth
and ninth houses will be cooperative to each other and
Jupiter, Sun and Ketu will be giving very good results.
That means any business related with the objects of
Jupiter, Sun and Ketu (living or non-living) will be most
suitable.
Evil effects
1. If natal has no son.
2. The prestige of the natal is affected.
3. Fear of enemy.
4. Mental tension.
Causes
1. If Ketu is sitting in the fifth house alongwith
Jupiter, then Rahu will be in the eleventh house,
 Planets and Their Effects 99

which is owned by Jupiter. If any inimical planet

(Venus, Mercury andKetu) are seated in 2, 9,11,
12 houses which are owned by Jupiter, then they
will malign the effect of Jupiter and materials
related to Jupiter. Hence Ketu will give poor effect
even though sitting with Jupiter in the fifth house.
2. If Mercury, Venus or Rahu are sitting in second,
ninth, eleventh and twelfth houses then the effect
of Sun, Jupiter and ketu will be maligned because
Mercury, Venus and Rahu have inimical
relationship with Jupiter, Sun and ketu. If the
natal has the habit of working honestly then he
will enjoy the good results of Jupiter but if he is
influenced more by Rahu and does not live on
money earned through hard work but by
borrowing, then the effect of Jupiter will be poor
or maligned.
Remedy
1. Give remedial treatment to Mercury, Venus and
Rahu sitting in 2, 9, 11 and 12 houses.
2. Never try to ask for loan or beg in the name of
religion.
3. Be honest and generous.
Jupiter in sixth house
Sixth house belongs to Mercury, and is also affected
by Ketu. Hence it will give a mixed effect of mercury,
Jupiter and Ketu. If Ketu is sitting in an auspicious house,
then natal will be enjoying his^tead and butter without
much effort. But he will not be holding any money. If it is
sitting in a debilitated house, then he will be no better
than a beggar. If Mercury is also in the debilitated house
then it will separate Jupiter (father) with Ketu (son in
childhood itself). When Mercury and Ketu are sitting in
maligned houses then all the three—Jupiter, Mercury and
Ketu—will try to affect each other adversely. The natal
will survive if Jupiter and Ketu inspire the children to
help elderly persons.
 100

If mercury is badly placed, it will destroy Jupiter. In

that case sister, her family and children would come to
rescue.
Causes
1. Mercury, Rahu and Venus are sitting in 2, 5, 9,
11 or 12 house.
2. Natal is not behaving well with grandson, grand
daughter, sister's son or daughter, etc.
Remedies
1. Natal should give due honour and love to his
sister's son and daughter, and daughter's son and
daughter.
2. Should live either with father or should keep his
father alongwith him.
3. Should always keep materials related with
Jupiter like gold and saffron, etc.
Jupiter in seventh house
When Jupiter is sitting in the seventh house, it will be
affected by Venus. Natal will be having the virtues of
women, or will be such a saint that he is bound to bear
the burden of married life. He will not be having any say
in his family life, will always be trying to find out the
ways to get rid of the boundage of life.
The wife of thenatal will be dominating, because if we
turn the lagna table and see every thing will be clear to
us, because the 7th house will become the first house and
Jupiter will be in the lagna of wife.
The wife of thenatal should be cautious that she must
give due honour to her husband. Otherwise the natal may
run away from the responsibilities of family life.
Such type of people whose Jupiter is in the seventh
house may try to escape from the responsibilities of family
life, and will be enjoying the society of saints. He must be
busy in worship of God in the temple or in the house itself.
If he is doing that, then he cannot get happiness. He might
remain satisfied in agreeing with his wife.
Planets and Their Effects 101

Evil effect
It is clear from the above mentioned facts that the
person having Jupiter in the seventh house will not be in
a happy position.
Causes
1. His wife's domination.
2. Temple built within house.
3. Contact with saints.
Remedies
1. Remove the temple from the house.
2. Wife of the natal should not dominate her
husband; she should not think that if her husband
is giving too much honour to her then it is the
weakness of the husband, and should not encash
that to her own advantage.
3. Natal should avoid the company of saints, and
pay attention to family life.
4. Should not come in contact with other woman.
Jupiter in eighth house
Eighth house is affected by Saturn and Mars. Mars is
the friend of Jupiter but Saturn is its enemy. This is the
house of Yamraj and gives a malign effect. Even though
Mars is the friend of Jupiter, but it is helpless to provide
support. Hence Jupiter will give a malign effect in this
house. Since Jupiter is considered as the most honourable
among Gods, Yamraj will also be inspired from Jupiter
and death will always be a risk factor for the natal. If the
natal expires in young age, then elders of the natal will
live a long life.
If the natal fives for more than twenty-two years of
age than his father/grandfather will face threat of death.
So to protect them from the jaws of death Jupiter should
be established in the cremation ground. That means the
item related to Jupiter, that is peepal tree, should be
planted in cremation ground and the natal should take
102

proper care of this tree. This will help his father and
grandfather to live happily without fear of death.
But if natal is having gold on his body and 2-5-9-11-12
houses are free from the inimical planets to Jupiter and
friendly (Sun-Moon) planets of Jupiter are sitting in the
fourth and the twelfth house then the eighth house will
not be giving any malign effect. But if any of the inimical
planets is sitting in any of the 2-5-9-11-12 houses,
particularly in the eleventh and the lagna, then Jupiter
will be giving malign results.
Evil effects
1. Father of the natal may be sick or in trouble.
2. Natal will have fear of being insulted.
3. Natal shall suffer from occasional suffocation.
4. Natal will not have son's pleasure.
Causes
1. Mercury, Venus or Rahu must be sitting in the
Jupiter's house, i.e. 2-5-9-11-12 or in the lagna.
2. Natal might have constructed a temple in his
house.
Remedies
1. Remove temple from the house.
2. Barley-coconut should be dropped in deep water
or in a well.
3. Satisfy Mercury. Or wherever Mercury is sitting,
treat him according to that house—if Mercury is
sitting in the ninth house then small ball of iron
will be helpful. If Mercury is sitting in the twelfth
house then stainless steel jointless ring will be
good, and if it is placed in the eleventh house then
copper coins strewn in white thread will be
helpful.
4. If the inimical planets of Jupiter are sitting in
the twelfth house and the next house is vacant,
Planets and Their Effects 103

then the natal should not go to the temple. If he

is doing so then the inimical planet sitting in the
eighth house will be attached to the twelfth house
and will make Jupiter more malefic.
5. Plant a peepal tree in cremation ground and
establish Sun in twelfth and fourth houses and
give strength to Moon.
Jupiter in ninth house
Ninth house is dominated by Jupiter primarily. Any
one whose Jupiter is sitting in the ninth house must be
bom in a very rich and reputed family. He will be benefited
in the business related with gold. Must be happy on behalf
of children and enjoy life for more than seventy years. He
will try to fulfil the commitments done by him; must have
inherited all the good virtues of his great family.
Evil effects
1. If the above mentioned characteristics do not
apply to the natal.
2. Natal is poor, deceitful, and does not fulfil his
commitments, is selfish, loses son; he does not
get any support from elders.
Causes
1. Inimical planets of Jupiter (Venus, Mercury or
Rahu) might be sitting in first, fourth and fifth
houses or the planets placed in 2-5-9-11-12 might
be inimical to Jupiter.
2. Natal might be making false commitments and
may be frivolous and unethical person.
3. Might be habitual of insulting elderly persons.
4. Mercury might be sitting in the third house and
falls under the aspect of Jupiter. Saturn/Rahu
might be aspecting the fifth house and obstructing
son's happiness.
Remedies
1. If Rahu is sitting in the eleventh house, then
barley-coconut should be dropped in deep river.
104

2. If mercury or Venus is sitting in the first house,

then form a habit of fulfilling commitment.
3. Coral, silver, ruby should be worn in neck, to
establish Mars, Sun and Moon in the first house.
That means Wear the materials related to
Jupiter's friends—Mars, Sun and Moon.
4. Give regards to elderly persons and live together
with them.
5. Drop rice in river and establish Moon in the fourth
house.
6. If Saturn/Rahu are sitting in the fifth house, then
almonds should be offered in the temple and half
of the almonds should be brought back to the
house regularly. Saturn/Rahu will no more be
malicious.
7. Wear silver in the nose for hundred days; that
will satisfy mercury and not harm Jupiter.
8. Wear stainless steel, jointless ring and clean your
teeth with alum. That will protect from Mercury's
malign effect.
9. Donate goat.
10. Maintain good character and keep away from
women; that will help to overcome the malign
effects of Venus.
Jupiter in tenth house
Tenth house is owned and governed by Saturn. Hence
Saturn is having a great influence in this house even
though it may be placed in any other house. Any planet
placed in tenth house has to function according to Saturn.
Otherwise the results of the planets will not be good and
materials related to that planet will be lost or damaged.
If the natal whose Jupiter is placed in the tenth house
is quite alert and ruthless like a snake, then he will live
happily. Saturn of the tenth house will strike the fifth
house with the reverse aspect.
Planets and Their Effects 105

Third house belongs to Mercury and strikes the tenth

house, which is a friend to Saturn and enemy of Jupiter.
Hence natal should live like Mercury-cruel. Natal should take
care of Saturn and Mercury; then he might get the price of
gold for the iron ball. The natal will be benefitted if he keeps
small iron balls with him.
If Mars is placed in the fourth house then its a
mangalika yoga, and if Venus is in the fourth house then
natal would be indulging in extramarital affairs. When
Mars and Venus are placed in the fourth house and
aspecting the tenth house then the natal is having
numerous illicit relations with women.
Since Jupiter is placed in the tenth house and is
aspecting the sixth house, if any friendly planet such as
Sun, Moon or Mars is placed in the sixth or the fourth
house then Jupiter will not be weak and start giving its
results. Planets of 1-5-9 are helpful to each other and the
planets of fourth house are holding the seventh and the
tenth house in their aspect from their own house. Hence if
friendly planets are sitting in 2-4-6 houses then the natal gets
good value for insignificant things in business.
Evil effects
1. If Jupiter is in the tenth house, the natal is
miserable with sorrow and problems.
2. Natal may not inherit his father's property.
3. Natal shall be deprived ofthepleasure of a family.
4. He is a degraded person in the eyes of others.
Causes
1. Instead of friendly planet of Jupiter, inimical
planet might be placed in 2-3-4-5 and 6 house.
2. He suffers from running nose.
3. Second or fourth house may be vacant.
4. Natal might have built a temple at his own house
and might be spending much time in looking after it
and other religious activities.
106
5. Natal must be having relation with women and
might be engaged in extramarital affairs.
6. Natal might be a non-vegetarian and wine
consumer.
Remedies
1. Avoid all the above mentioned evils.
2. Drop rice in the flowing water and establish Moon
in the fourth house.
3. Drop copper coin in the flowing water and
establish Sun in the fourth house.
4. Offer almonds in temple to establish Saturn in
the second house.
5. Apply saffron tilak on forehead and use turban.
6. Remove temple from house.
7. Avoid extramarital affairs.
8. Keep nose clean. Start work with a clean nose.
9. Work shrewdly instead of religiously, and do not
try to protect anyone by wrong means.
10. Keep away from non-vegetarian food and wine.
Jupiter in eleventh house
This house has the effect of Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn
has built his abode in the land of Jupiter. Any planet in
this house damages the results of inimical planets.
Similarly, Jupiter is harming Venus, Mercury and Rahu.
Wife of the natal will never be happy, even though
Venus is situated in a good house. Sister, father's sister,
daughter, etc. cannot be happy. Even though Mercury is
placed in a good position, he would not be getting the good
results from business related to Mercury. Natal will be in
debt too.
Natal will remain happy till he is residing with his
father and in a joint family. The moment he will leave his
father's shelter, he will be surrounded by problems.
Planets and Their Effects 107

Evil effects
1. Natal is in debt even though he has good income.
2. Sister, father's sister, daughter are living in poor
condition.
3. No one is bothered about^ natal.

1. Natal might have tarnished his character.
2. Natal might be living independently, away from
his father.
3. Might be habitual of cheating and making false
commitments.
4. Might be keeping himself away from religious
activity.
Remedies
1. If natal will live with his father then Mars will
be placed in the third house and start helping
Jupiter.
2. Father's company or gold on the body will be
helpful.
3. If natal will wear copper bangle then Sun will be
placed in the third house and start supporting
Jupiter.
4. Business related with Sun (fire) will be profitable.
5. If Sun is in the fourth house and natal's mother
is living with him, then Jupiter will not be giving
debilitating effect.
Jupiter in twelfth house
Twelfth house is captured by Rahu and is owned by
Jupiter, whereas Rahu and Jupiter are enemies. Jupiter
has a tendency of giving reputation, prestige, power, good
position and wealth, but Rahu stands for bad deeds such
as theft, he, frivolousness and evil thoughts.
If natal maintains good character, performs good
deeds, thinks for benefit of others, is religious minded,
108

systematic, then he will be greatly affected by Jupiter and

all the benefits related to Jupiter will be enjoyed by him.
He will never be facing any shortage of wealth and
happiness. Dealing with the goods related to Saturn such
as machinery, car, trucks, bus, etc. will be profitable for
him.
Evil effects
1. Natal cannot sleep peacefully.
2. Business related to Rahu (gas) and Saturn
(machinery, etc.) are giving loss.
3. Suffering from poverty.
Reasons
1. Natal must be habituated of fraud, cheating, and
supporting liars.

is strengthening the power of Rahu.
Remedies

deeds.
2. Should treat everyone with good intention.

etc.
4. Should never support any false person.

Sun is the cause of this universe. Our religious books
are full of its description. Gayatri Mantra is also chanted
to please the Sun. Any natal whose Sun will be in the
auspicious zodiac (1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12), will be bright, brave,
having grandeur and ability to vanquish enemy. But if
placed in inauspicious zodiac, the natal will be badly
affected. He will be ill tempered, mean andharm interests
of others.
One gets from the placement of the Sun in horoscope
the knowledge about self, father, forest tour, life in a
desert, mental tension, honour and respect, government
accounts, all sort of education, disease of bone, heart beats,
etc. If Sun is placed in the 8th house, then it harms natal.
110

Sun sitting in 1,5, 11 houses is supposed to be

the best. When Mars is in the 6th house and Ketu in the
1 st house, Sun will be superior, even though inimical
planets are sitting with it. They will be supportive to Sun.
This will be effective from 22nd year.
Characteristics
Sun is never malicious; rather shifts its malefic effect on
the other planets placed with it.
The natal whose Sun is powerfully placed will have
good height, a wheatish complexion, eyes will be as sharp as
that of a lion but lacking in ferociousness, a slim and trim
body but stout, a good conduct, vanquisher of enemies,
laborious, and of a strong will power. But if the natal is of
bad conduct then the effect is harmful.
His house will be facing east, courtyard and kitchen
will be located in the centre of the house, and he must be
keeping water on the right hand side of the entrance.
1. When Sun is with Mars (light), Mars (rays) casts its
effect on all sides. When it meets with Rahu and
Ketu, then the result is solar eclipse.
2. Sun sitting with Saturn will never fight with each
other, but make Venus malefic.
3. Sun+ Mercury in the 5th house are supposed to be
related to natal's old age which should be
comfortable but he may have a sudden death.
4. Natal who enjoys the favourable placement of
Sun, earns wealth with his own effort and he
should never expect help from anyone. Anybody
who creates trouble for him will himself perish.
5. When Sun is auspicious, then all the planets of the
natal will be giving good effects in their period. Such
as-Jupiter 16-21, Sun 22-23, Moon 24, Venus
25-27, Mars 28-33, Mercury 34-35, Saturn
36-41, Rahu 42-47, Ketu 48, but Mercury will
remain silent during the Sun's period which is of
 Sun(Surya) 111

17 years, and Saturn will affect the income of

father till 18 years.
When Sun is malefic
1. Mouth will always be filled with sputum.
2. All the parts of the body become useless.
3. Natal will either lose red/brown buffalo or it dies.
4. If there is a friendly planet with Sun, then the
natal will have a better fate than his father but if
it is sitting with inimical planets then children
will be in poor state.
5. Sun with Rahu means dirty thoughts, with Ketu
means problem in legs, and with Saturn means
always romantic.
6. Whenever the inimical planets are placed in
preceding houses, they cast malefic affect on the
Sun, which in turn affects the natal. But if they
are placed after the Sun then it will give malefic
effect to the objects related with Sun.
7. Hence the malefic planets should be properly
treated. Inimical planets of Sun are—Saturn,
Rahu, Ketu and Venus.
8. Sun is malicious towards the zodiac where it is
seated. Hence that zodiac should be strengthened
with the help of remedies.
9. When Sun and Saturn confront each other, it is
not good for natal's wife; she has to suffer.
10. When Sun + Mars are with Moon and Ketu,
father, son and maternal uncle of natal will
remain sick.
Remedies—When Sun is giving evil effects then its
inimical planets should be treated properly.
1. The above mentioned position will only be in the
case when sun is placed in the 6th and the 7th
house. The position of these houses should be
improved by treating Mercury.
 112

2. If it clashes with Saturn in the 7th house, then it

will be beneficial to destroy Moon.
3. Eat jaggery and drink water before starting a new
job.
4. Drop jaggery in flowing water.
5. Use milk to douse the fire of stove at night.
6. Wear Ruby in copper at the time of sunrise.
Sun in First House
The natal will be a gentle person with long life and
limited children. The affects of Mars, Mercury, sister and
brother will not deter him from moving towards goal. If
he is not generous and serving others, then Sun's effect
will not benefit him. He should keep away from love affairs.
If the seventh house is vacant, he should better go for
early marriage so that Sun shall give its effect.
If natal is investing one-fourth of his earnings in public
welfare, then prosperity will go up. He may be an
educationalist, having happy children and wife. His first
issue will be a son which will be bom after midnight or
after mid-day. Natal will always be engaged in work
related to a good cause and Will be helpful to the poor. He
will be short tempered and would believe in seeing not
hearing.
His mother and wife will suffer; he will have a sharp
nose and broad forehead, will be egoistic and successful
in jobs related to court, administration, etc.
When friends Mars and Earning wealth with
Moon are together in the own efforts; will not be
same house interested in ancestors'
property
Sun 1 and Venus 7 Father's death at
early age
Sun 1 and Mercury 7 Abstain from lust
Sun 1 Moon 2 Saturn Craving for honour,
wealth
 Sun (Surya) 113

Remedy
If because of any reason the seventh house is weak or
vacant, then natal's early marriage will be beneficial. In
that case, Sun will start giving auspicious results;
installing a water tap will improve things.
Sun in Second House
Quarrel with family members due to wife, sun giving
good results, an industrious man, brings happiness to his
own life and others too. If natal can keep himself away
from domestic quarrels, then he shall always move ahead.
He will certainly have a vehicle, will be a religious leader,
able to construct temples, inns; strong believer in old
traditions, enjoying happy married life, relations with in-
laws, and capable of building up parents' future along with
relatives. Women in his family will go on dying.
Sun 2, Mars 1, Moon 3 : Poverty, laziness and misery.
Remedy
Should not accept wheat and bajra free of cost. He
should please Saturn—offer coconut, almond, oil in a
religious place.
Sun in Third House
Will be having younger brothers; a keen visitor to
religious places, capable of earning for self, owner of
wealth, getting good results. If Mercury is inauspicious,
then the maternal uncle will be adversely affected. Rahu
and Ketu will also be weak. Mother will enjoy a long life,
provided Moon is not self destructing. Neighbour will die,
father/grandfather may be poor, but natal will not be a
noor man. If so, then it will be due to his bad character.
Remedy
Benefit from the State, children will be born in day
time, if conduct is bad then Sun will give malign effect;
the natal should always maintain a good conduct.
Sun in Fourth House
Harmful for mother, sister and happiness. Has to live
abroad instead of home. If Sun is in this house then the
114

effect of Jupiter in the 10th house will also be good.

Whenever Sun is influential and powerful, Moon effect
will automatically be enhanced. Natal will hold a good
position in the court, society, office, etc. Natal is capable
of doing extraordinary work much better than his father/
grandfather or ancestors. But if Mars is malefic then he
shall face poverty till the age of 15. But if Mars is placed
well, it will give strength to Sun. But at the same time it
will adversely affect eye sight.
Sun 4 Saturn 7 : Natal will be impotent
Sun 4 Venus 7 Moon 1 : Natal will be a coward
Sun 4 Jup 10 (Moon exalted) : As lucky as pearl in a
shell
Sun 4 Jupiter 1 : Fire cases will be
common
If Moon, Sun and Jupiter are together, then
business related to Jupiter (gold) and Moon (silverl
cloth) are beneficial. Business related to Saturn will
give losses.
Remedy
Feeding blinds in the ancestral house will be beneficial.
Sun in Fifth House
Natal will be the only son of his parents, will be good
in studies, have stomach problem, hot tempered, lead the
family towards prosperity, get good rewards from the
State, will give happiness to his parents. He is like a
benevolent king, has a long life, capable of keeping
everyone under one roof, has several valiant sons, old age
is also good and happy. If Jupiter is placed in the 10th
house, then wife dies, and if Saturn is placed in 3rd. house
then he is miserable. When Sun will come in this house,
Sun and Jupiter will give good result, will be having good
relation with government officials. If the king is not helpful
then only a saint can help. Children will lead a happy life.
If Jupiter is also placed in the same house, then he enjoys
honour and respect in society.
Sun(Surya) 115

Sun 5, Sat 9, 11 Gains sympathy from others

and is lucky for father.
Sun 5, Moon 4, Jup 9 : Raj Yoga
Sun 5, Jupiter 10 Sun : More than one marriage
5, Saturn 3 Life becomes miserable, loss
of children, financial crises
Sun5, Mars 3, Jup 9, 12 : Favourable results
Remedy
Serving red-faced monkey will give good result.
Sun in Sixth House
The natal gives trouble to maternal side, high
expenditure on court cases, but friends and enemies will
remain under control Natal will have firm believe on fate, will
be carefree. Sun in the sixth house is powerless. If
Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu are placed at Lagna then he has
a lot of worries from government, suffers from poor
health. If Mercury and Saturn both are in the 12th
house, then his wives go on dying and he has trouble
in leg. Normally natal is bom in his maternal grandfather's
place, enjoys paternal life, but whenever evil planets join
together everything is in a soup. He is mined at least once
in his life.
Self or father's position will certainly be bad; even
maternal uncles will not be happy. He will not have a
long married life and less children, but will certainly have a
child; time will change for better after the birth of his son.

Sun 6, Mercury 12 : Loss of gravity, high blood

pressure
Sun 6, Saturn 12 : Wives will die
Sun 6, Mars 10 : Son(s) will die
Remedies

results.
116

2. For helping the maternal side, give jaggery to

monkeys, and keep on throwing party to friends.
3. Keep silver or river water in the house.
4. Regularly make donations to temples.
5. Keeping water at the beside is good while sleeping
at night; this helps in increasing father's age.
Sun in Seventh House
Natal becomes saint after leaving family life on
becoming desperate. Enjoys poor married life until 25
years, first wife will remain ill, loss in business, miserable
life, hot tempered, gets help from friendly planets, but
whenever there is confrontation with Saturn, stove fire
should be extinguished with milk. Serving red cow
adversely affects philosophical thinking. Even if before
the birth of the natal there was immense wealth, Mercury,
if placed together, shall ruin everything. If there is no
planet in the first house then Sun will remain dormant.
It will only be activated when the planet of the 9th house
reaches 2nd house. Though he shall have warm relations
with others but they shall be lacking in case of in-laws.
If Saturn will clash (all the planets clash with the
planets placed in the 8th house from their own house),
then it will be beneficial to destroy Moon (by dousing fire
with milk).
Sun 7, Venus 1 : Wife's poor health, mental
disease or mentally weak
Sun 7, evil Venus planet 1 : 111 fated
Sun 7, Mercury 9 : Jupiter and Mercury will be
enemies; children will be
destroyed
Remedy
Serve jet black cow to get good results but serving the
white cow will give an adverse effect. Bury square pieces
of copper in earth. Before doing any job take a sip of water.
Sun(Surya) 117

Sun in Eighth House

Hot tempered, lack of patience, always attracted
towards females, noble king, always having trouble with
courtiers, suffers regularly from disease. Even though this is
the house of death, but death will be calm. If the natal
serves cow and elder brother than he will enjoy long life.
He faces poor financial position and trouble in vision. He
shall obtain good results if he does not live in sister's or
in-law's house and leads a virtuous life. Even though its a
house of Mars and Saturn, Sun protects the natal and
gives a long life.
Remedy
Serving the black/brown cow will give good results and
serving the white cow will have an adverse effect. Before
starting or going for any work eat some jaggery and drink
water.
Specific
Nobody will die in front of the person whose Sun is
placed in eighth house. If any one is seriously sick and if
death is the only way to salvation then person whose Sun is
in eighth house should not sit beside the dying patient.
Remedy
Offer 800 gms of wheat, and 800 gms of jaggery to the
temple for eight days starting from Sunday.
Sun in Ninth House
Fortunate, enjoys vehicle, but evil natured, not happy
from brother's attitude, shall enjoy long life after solar
eclipse, good in all respects. When Sun is placed in this
house, it makes the natal generous, gives long life, large
family, capable of doing well for entire family. Natal is
willing to sacrifice his life for the family. From the age of
22nd, Sun will start giving good results. Great honour in
government circles, and having good contacts; parents,
wife (Venus) will become weak, but maternal (Moon) side
will be bright; going to religious places will be beneficial.
118

Specific
1. Natal's family might be involved in contract
business for long. Natal is helpful not only for
himself but also for the first three and the next
three generations. Father and grandfather shall
enjoy long life.
2. The natal shall suffer if he is too hot tempered or
too cool tempered. Extreme either way would be
harmful.
3. If Mercury is not with the Sun and Jupiter is in
the 8th or the 10th house, then he may become a
good doctor by profession.
Remedy
Giving silver, rice or milk in donation will increase
the power of Sun, but accepting the same in donation or
as alms will give adverse results.
Sun in Tenth House
Benefit from the State, shall possess a vehicle, shall
be surrounded by attendants, mother's death at an early
age, good health, but suspicious about everything, State
problems will always be there. When Sun is in this house
and Venus in the 4th, then father suffers but if Venus is
in the 5th, then mother faces a lot of trouble. When Sun
and Jupiter are in the 10 house and their friendly planet
is in the fifth house, then it will act as an enemy. The
relations with the State will not be good without the help
of male (Jupiter, Mars) planets. When Sunis in this house,
children's side will be weak. Time will be miserable till 34
years.
If the natal gets profit from the State, then Saturn
will give evil effect and give financial loss. Might have to
live separately from his father for 19 years in his in-law's
place.
Sun 10, Venus 4 : Father's death in childhood days
Sun 10, Moon 5 : Only 12 days of life.
Sun (Surya) 119

Remedy
1. Always keep head covered with white or off white
coloured cap or turban.
2. Avoid wearing blue and black clothes.
3. Drop copper coins in river.
Sun in Eleventh House
The natal receives benefits from the State, very
religious, very beneficial, if keeps himself away from non-
vegetarian food and wine. Life will be happy life with three
sons. Sun's light will be darkened by Saturn. If Moon is
placed in the 5th house, then death will be in 12th year.
Mercury placed in the 3rd house will also give evil effects;
it will not allow to prosper but protect life.
Specific
1. If natal is a non-vegetarian, wine consumer, liar,
then his life will become dark, because these are
the Saturn's evil functions and spoil the effect of
Sun. It will eventually harm the children. This
will be difficult to check by anyone until the age
of 42-48. It implies that if the natal will be pious,
then Sun will give good results, if he follows bad
conduct, i.e. supporting the Saturn, then he will
spoil the effects of Sun.
Remedies
1. Do not malign Saturn.
2. Keep five radish at bedside while sleeping and"
offer them to the temple in the morning.
Sun placed in Twelfth House
Mental disease, melancholy, always worrying for other
people, eye problem, shall be benefited by being fair and
not behaving deceitfully, usurping the property of anyone,
committing theft and misappropriation of accounts. All
these evil deeds spoil the effect of Sun.
120

Specific
1. Hthe courtyard of the natal is not good, then the
effect of Sun will be malefic. Hthere is darkness,
then natal will have no issue; behave well he will
never, outside the house. He is likely to become a
landlord if he follows good conduct.
2. Business related to Mercury will give profit
whereasjobs based on manual work will give loss.
3. Evil Sun effects eyes. If the natal takes up a
profession based on Satum-Rahu, then he has to
suffer even for bread and butter.
4. Even though all the property is sold but he will
remain follower of religion and be pious.
Sun 12, Saturn,6 : Inimical effect of both the planets
will not affect woman.

evil too, but whenever they come to the fourth house,
they give up their evil t ndency.

Whenever we take up remedy for Saturn, Rahu, etc.

we must give remedy to Moon also a day or two before or
after as the remedy may effect Moon also.
Moon in First House
The first house is also known as the house of Lagna,
and basically this house is affected by Sun and Mars, so
as soon as Moon enters this house, it will be treated as
three planets in the first house.
If the mother of the natal gives rice or silver to him
then he should keep it carefully. This will help him to be
successful in all the work. Natal should keep himself away
from the work related to Mercury. He should not sell milk,
rather should serve the people with milk and water.
If the seventh house is vacant then natal should take
up the remedy for Moon before his 24 years of age so that
he should start getting favourable results ofMoon. Natal
will enjoy a long life and get success in administrative
affairs and also get respect and honour.
Altogether Moon gives auspicious results in the first
house.

jaggery will be helpful.

wealth. This will strengthen Moon in third house.

donation of wheat andjaggery will be beneficial.

helpful.
Moon in Fourth House
Fourth house is the house of Moon itself and is affected
by it. So much so that if the natal will use the materials
related to Moon, it will give happiness.
He should always serve visitors with milk instead of
water and seek the blessings from elderly ladies. Since
fourth house is the house of income, so he should always
spend lavishly; that will increase income. Whatever he
will spend on the service of others will certainly be paying in
the long run. Rather his income will go on increasing.
Natal will be a well known personality of his area. He
will own garden, and cattle who will give milk. Wealth
will keep on accumulating. The natal will be having good
qualities to make his wife, son and parents happy. He

growing and multiplying.

bengal gram in the temple or any religious place
at times will be good. Offering milk to father will
also be beneficial.
Moon in Seventh House
Seventh house belongs to Mercury and Venus. When
both the planets are placed together then it gives the effect
of Sun. Since first house is affected with Sun and Mars,
and is aspecting the seventh house, this house will always
be glowing with the effects of Sun, which is the friend of
Moon and extend its full support to Moon. This will
increase wealth, jewellery and also increase the benefit of
living or non-living objects related to Moon.

son, will be under its aspect. Hence it will give pleasure.

to Moon, the treatment related to Saturn will be harmful.
Never drink milk in the night. If the person is involved in
the profession of giving medicines then he should avoid
giving medicines in liquid form or else it will give poisonous

the related things but also harm the things related with
its enemy like Mercury and Ketu. Mars, wherever it be
placed, will help business and things related to it. If it is
in the first house, then it will help in government sector,
if in second house then in-laws, if in third then elder
brother/paternal uncles, if in fourth then parents and
family, if in the fifth then sons, sixth religious, seventh
married life, eighth natal's own death, ninth to elders,
tenth to personal mental peace, eleventh justice loving,
twelfth will give materialistic benefits.

the objects related to that house.

while sitting in the twelfth house.

this will protect that house.

harm either son or mother.
Moon (Chandra) 131

Remedies

be promoted, then it will function like a bridge
between both Ketu and Moon. Both will start
giving favourable effects.
2. Wearing gold in ears, drinking milk in which
heated golden stick is dipped will help Jupiter.
Visiting religious places will remove the malign
effects of Moon of the twelfth and Ketu of the
fourth house.

Mars is both virtuous and at times can be evil. While
acting favourably, it hardly takes time to be hostile. It
changes its form very shortly. By the time the person
realizes that something is amiss, Mars would have done his
wicked part, hardly giving any time to be alert. A person
bitten by snake hardly has time. Relatives and friends,
who are related to Mars, do not take much time in changing
their views. And soft comer of the heart, once a rift is
formed, goes on widening rapidly.
Mars is related with blood of the navel, blood red colour,
arms, relatives, desire and enthusiasm to adopt goodness,
mutual friends, soldier, army, kitchen and cook, all kinds of
doctors, a person acting on reasoning, the upper lip,
 Mars (Mongol) 133

panther,lion,mahawat,liver,aniseed,coral,jaggery (desi
khand), honey, lentil, neem tree, waist-coat, deer skin,
weapon,etc.
It is very important to be careful of the evil effect of
Mars. The mild effect of Mars can be overcome with
the help of Moon. As long as there is warmth of the
Sun, circulation of blood in body remains. The strength of
Mars is maintained with the help of Sun and Moon.
Jupiter enhances the strength of blood. If Mars is
weak, it is strengthened by Jupiter, Sun, and Moon.
Mars is inimical to two planets-Mercury and Ketu. Mars
in the form of jeopardy is the enemy of dog who is Ketu.
The person doing wicked deeds does not have the good
wishes of his friends and relatives. Rather he is subjected to
disdain. They start despising him. Consequently, Mars
becomes weaker. Mars is favourable if the person involved is
met with warm and affectionate behaviour; it forgets the
flaws and start giving favourable results.
Just as the two kinds of blood, i.e. dirty and clean,
flows in human body, Mars has two forms-pure and weak.

good and evil
Lord Hanuman is the lord of Mars. Mars is the lord of the
first and the eighth house.
Sun, Moon and Jupiter are his friends and
Mercury and Ketu are enemies. So it is weak and
wicked in the sixth house (Mercury and Ketu), but holds a
strong position in 1, 2, 4, 5, 9 and 12th house which are
the houses of his friends.
It is commonly believed that the people performing
good deeds have red blood while those whose actions are
wicked are supposed to be blue blooded.
If Mars is placed in 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12th house then the
person is known as Mangalika. A mangalika bride or
bridegroom is searched for marriage to such a person. If
wicked planets like Satum-Rahu, or Mars-Ketu or Mars
Rahu are seated in the same houses then the person will not
be mangalika. Mars is inimical to Saturn but Saturn is not
inimical to Mars. Hence Mars will give auspicious results
in the houses of Saturn which are 10-11.
Mars is the mahawat while Rahu is the elephant. The
elephant is under control till it is in the aspect of mahawat.
Hence it is fruitful when Rahu is in the aspect of Mars but
when Mars is in the aspect of Rahu the results would not be
up to the mark.
Sun and Mercury together give the impact of
auspicious Mars but if Venus also comes together then the
effect of Mars will be debilitated. Moon helps
overcoming the flaw ofMars.
Mars (Mongol) 135

Mars and Ketu are enemies. The person shall suffer

from blood related ailments, diabetes, etc. if they are
placed together. Their mutual friend Jupiter shall prove to be

should be altered.
(7) The shadow of a tree might be falling on the house
which might be diminishing the effect of Mars.
Keeker or Beri plant in the courtyard are
inauspicious.
(8) A Peepal tree attached to the wall of the house
will give good effect of the Mars. Though Peepal
tree in itself is a sacred thing but it needs to be
looked after properly. It should be watered and
worshipped daily which is practically not possible

from the residential house.

a third colour which is green. Therefore Jupiter and Rahu

together give the effect of Mercury.
Friendly Planets
Sun is regarded as the friend of Mercury. Sun is able to
destroy the evil of Mercury and convert it into its virtue. The
other friend of Mercury is Venus, its very existence greenery-
is due to the mud of Venus. If a plant is uprooted from the soil
it fades away and becomes yellow which is the colour of
Jupiter.
Rahu is the third friend of Mercury. The very existence of
Mercury (green colour) is dependent on Rahu (blue
colour). There is close relationship between Rahu and
Mercury. Though they are friends but if both are placed in
weak houses in a horoscope then the person is as good as
dead. The evil effect of both the planets at the same time is
not good. It is better if both the planets are apart. Rahu will
give favourable effect in the 6th and 3rd house of Mercury.
Enemy Planets
Moon is inimical to Mercury but Mercury does not treat
Moon as its enemy. Mercury rather gives auspicious
results in the 4th house which is the house of Moon. The
natal shall thrive in business if Mercury is placed in the 4th
house, but even though he may become a millionaire he
shall have no peace of mind.
Mercury in the 12th house will have the 6th house
under its aspect and the Mercury of 9th house will have the
third house in its aspect. Both the 6th and the 3rd house
in that case shall be adversely effected.
A person is extremely dangerous if he has no principles of
his own. Mercury has exceptional quality of giving good
effect with a strong planet and evil effect when associated
with evil planet. There can be very serious effects if
Mercury is debilitated in a person's horoscope. The world is
full of stories of the tug of war between Mercury and
Jupiter.
 146

Goddess Durga who has different forms is associated

with Mercury. In order to get rid of evil effect of Mercury
one must worship Goddess Durga, donate goat, get the
nose pierced, brush teeth with alum, drop a pot of kauriyan
(form of shell), etc. in water, offer pumpkin in a temple or
a religious place. Abstain ftom eating egg and avoid
trading in egg.
Mercury tries to malign Jupiter while Jupiter tries to
defend itself as basically it does not cast an evil eye towards
any planet. Even while defending itself Jupiter does not
attack Mercury. Similarly, the friendly planets of Jupiter
which are Sun, Moon and Mars also try to protect their
friend from Mercury but refrain from attacking it. Mercury
is supported by his friends Venus, Rahu, Saturn and Ketu
in his enmity with Jupiter. Hence two groups are formed,
one consisting of Jupiter, Sun, Moon, and Mars and the
other of Mercury, Venus, Rahu, Saturn and Ketu. Jupiter
destroys the evil aspect of Ketu and Sun confronts Saturn
and Venus. Moon restrains Mercury, Mars and Rahu.

of fife. The relatives related to the house of Sun shall be
greatly benefited. The natal shall have a good fame as

beneficial for his own self only as Mercury does not bother
for anyone. Both Mercury and Venus are influential. Hence

of Mercury placed in the third house. The relatives
related to the 3rd and the 9th house shall suffer.
4. The third house is known as the door to the house
of death, i.e. 8th house. A man is presented before
Yamraj after death. The court of Yamraj is
situated in south. The 8th house is considered
the place of Yamraj, i.e. cremation ground. Door
