This sloka describes the Significations, creation and Gunas(disposition) of the planets:
Significations:
1) Sun : Mahesh (God Shiva) and it represents the Soul and Father.
2) Moon: Bhavani, Shakti(Goddess Durga) and represents the Mother
Creation:
1) Mars: Has been created by Prithvi (Mother Earth)
2) Mercury: Has been created by Water(Jala)
3) Jupiter: Has been created by Fire (Agni)
4) Venus: Has been created by Vayu(Air)
5) Saturn: Has been created by Akasa(Ether)
The Gunas of the Planets are:
1) Satvika Planets: Jupiter, Venus, Mercury
2) Rajasika Planets: Mars
3) Tamasika Planets: Saturn
Moon and Sun as Lords of 6th & 8th House
- Even if the Moon and Sun are lords of 6th, 8th house still they are not considered as Marakas (Killer Planets). Though in such situation Sun and Moon may result in problems /malefic results but they are not Marakas (Killers).
Explanation:
The Human Character has all three gunas. To know the personality it is important to understand the position of planets in the horoscope their strenghts and influence.
The Gunas are explained here:
Rajasik: Denoted Action, Denotes ego and luxury, spending, enjoying through positive things.
Tamasik: Denotes deterioration, Non-Vegetarian food, Denotes acts which are considered low, pleasure by giving pain.
Satvik: Kind, Calm, Composed, Vegetarian, Learning.
Tamas is to be understood by its visible deterioration of physical body and mind. Lethargy or Alasya and inaction may give temporary pleasure but it simultaneously disintegrates the body. It is precursory to disease and decay. Eventually the body can not tolerate too long. To resist decay is again our nature. The viveka or intellect revolts saying ‘this can not go on’. And then the ego-self says ‘I must do something about it’.
This awakening of ego is the awakening of rajasik. The tamasik becomes the cause for triggering rajasik as darkness becomes the cause for lighting the lamp.
But rajasik is all action. It is like getting geared up and not knowing the direction to move. It may become recklessly unproductive or may even relapse back to tamasik. That would be disastrous.
But abandoning us to disaster and condemned existence is not in the divine scheme. It is constantly working on us to lift us up again and again. Hence the guidance and direction has to be provided to the soul.
The direction is derived from the knowledge of satvik. This knowledge is provided by the inner voice residing within the innermost center of our existence. It is the extension of the Divine itself ever guiding ever correcting and ever advising us to chose the right conduct.
So all the three gunas with their characteristic nature govern all our actions. It then boils down to which particular guna predominates.
How does one understands what kind of guna at any given time is having a greater influence on him?
If you are more prone to lethargy, inactiveness, diseases and negative thoughts etc it is because of dominance of tamasik. If the mind is running constantly after gains and profits of material nature, and generally unhappy about something or other, it is the rajasik that is riding. With a reasonably unperturbed disposition, having positive thoughts towards all and often finding happiness in thinking of the Divine and his ways one is said to be under the influence of the satvik.
Obviously no wise man would like to be dominated by rajasik or tamasik influences. Satvik is always to be craved for. People speak of eliminating rajasik and tamasik gunas as part of one’s sadhana. That is foolishness. Gunas can not be eliminated. As long as you are living, in this life or next, as long as one remains part of this creation, he can never break away from the shackles of the three gunas.

Uttara Kalamrita article published by AstroSutra
Uttara Kalamrita is a reference work on Vedic astrology or Jyotisa it is also termed as sidereal astrology, written by Kalidasa. However, it isn't known whether the Kalidasa who wrote this work is the Kalidasa who wrote Raghuvamsha and Abhijñānaśākuntalam. The manuscript is available in various libraries in India including the Government Oriental Manuscript Library in Chennai.
The text was first printed in the Telugu script. The reference to Andhra Bhasha , Urdu or Persian, Turushka, Sukkani, Rahu Kala,and other things show that he came after the sixteenth century. His use of the words Udyoga, got job, mud-cleaning,, Smarta , Nadi and Vinadi, Sarasa-sallapa (a peculiar Telugu expression), Tyajya Kala and other prove that he is South Indian. His opposition to the marriage with the daughter of the maternal uncle references to the usages in the South in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
These and other factors convince us that the author belongs to a time after the 16th or the 17th century.
There is a Shankara Vijaya attributed to Madhava Vidyaranya. But the next clearly states that the author was condensing the work of Vyasachala (17th century) and that he was called Abhinava Kalidasa. Possibly the author of Uttara Kalamrita is the same one.
The Uttara Kalamrita contains a wealth of astrological principles which are derived from earlier works on astrology namely Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Brihat Jataka & Phaladeepika.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 22: Vipreet Raj Yoga
The following combinations are to be noted as Vipreet Raj Yoga and will result in the person becoming a king of kings and blessed with name, fame and wealth.
1) Lord of 8th occupying the 6th, 12th houses
2) Lord of 6th occupying the 8th, 12th houses
3) Lord of the 12th Occupying the 6th, 8th houses
If the above planets are connected with each other through relationships :
a) Interchange
b) Mutual Aspect
c) Lord of the Rasi aspecting a planet in its Rasi
d) Posited Together
And they do not have any such relation with other planets in the natal chart.
Explanation:
The lords of 6th, 8th and 12th are lords of malefic houses (Dushsthanas) their placement in bad places signifies a reverse yoga i.e. placement of maleficence in malefic houses.
e.g. placement of a malefic lord in 6th will result in no enemies and diseases
Point to be noted:
1) Their placement in their own houses e.g. 6th lord in 6th is not covered in Vipreet Raj Yoga. This kind of placement would actually enhance the significations of malefic houses and prove inauspicious.
2) Whether the relationships between these malefic lords will lead to auspiciousness is a point for research. Just placement in malefic houses definitely should give good results.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 20: Chhadaka, Vedhaka, Bandhaka, Pratibandhaka
This is a very important sloka for finding results that planets will give to the native.
Rule 1: By Placement from a House
1) Planet in the 2nd house from a house (bhava) is called Chhadaka for that house (bhava). Chhadaka would mean shadow or enhance or support.
2) Similarly Planet in the 3rd house is called Vedhaka (Negative term, Drill a hole, tear apart, create problems)
3) Similarly Planet in the 4th house is termed as Bandhaka (To imprison, Obstruct, Negative term)
4) Similarly Planet in the 8th house is termed as Pratibandhaka (More powerful than Bandhaka, Obstruct, Negative Term)
Rule 2: By Lordship of a house from a house (bhava)
1) Lords of 2nd and 7th from a house (bhava) are termed as Marakas(Death, Destruction, Negative term) for that house(bhava)
Rule 1: Point 4: The Planet in the 8th house from a house is an important one and shows the increase or decrease in the significations of that Bhava. The planet in the 8th house from a house has been given special significance.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 19: Chhadaka Graha
The Sloka is in two parts
Part I:
The following planets will be chhadakas(Defined later in explanation) for the second and twelveth signs from their
position:
1) Full Moon
2) Jupiter
3) Saturn
4) Ketu
If Jupiter is a lord of malefic houses(dushsthana) then it will be chhadaka for 12th house from itself.
If other planets viz. Full, Moon, Saturn, Ketu are lords of malefic houses then they will act as chhadakas for the
2nd house from itself only.
Part II:
Auspicious results accrue to the native if there is relationship between the lords of houses (bhavas) and the
significators of those houses.
The relationship can be through (As mentioned in one of the earlier slokas) :
1) Interchange
2) Mutual Aspect
3) Lord of the Rasi aspecting a planet in its Rasi
4) Posited Together
Explanation:
The Term chhadaka is a sanskrit term and it means shadowing. Thus a planet shadows the planets which are in 2nd and
12th houses (bhavas) from itself.
Relationship between the house lord and its significator would enhance the results of that house. E.g. 5th Lord and
natural significator Jupiter having connection will result in enhancing the significations of the 5th house.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 18: Loss of Bhava Significance
If the (Phala Karaka) and the (Bhava Karaka) of any Bhava as also the lords of
the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the Lord of the Bhava and the Bhava itself be hostile, the effect of the Bhava is lost.
The sloka is an important one and describes the effect of planetary relationships on the results (good or bad) of a particular house (bhava)
The results of a bhava (house) are lost if the following combinations exist
1) If the Significator of a house and the Lord of the house are enemies
2) If the significator of a house/ the lord of house are enemies with the Dispositor of the Lord of the house
3) If the significator of a house/ the lord of house are enemies with the Navamsha Dispositor of the Lord of the house
4) If malefics occupy the Rasi of a significator planet, the house of which the significator planet is a significator suffers.
Explanation: The natural relationships between planets are at play here and if they are inimical to each other and related to a particular bhava the results of the bhava are lost.
Another important aspect, the significators are given importance in this bhava while in earlier slokas house lords were given importance. Malefic effect to the significators signs will result in loss to bhavas of which the planet is a significator

Uttara Kalamrita: Section IV : Shloka 12 : InAuspicious Yoga
Destruction of the significations of a bhava (house) Similar to Shloka 10
While the Shloka 10 dealt with placement in 6,8,12th houses of the lords of a bhava the shloka 12 gives further combinations for destruction of the house significations.
The following combinations are mentioned as destroying the significations of a house, planet:
1) If a house, house lord, significator (karaka) planet are hemmed (in between) malefics
2) Conjunct with Malefics
3) Devoid of Strength
4) No benefic aspect / conjunction
5) 9,4,5,8,12 houses from them have malefics
6) House Navamsha, House Lord Navamsha, Significator Navamsha lords are also placed in Inimical Signs, Debilitation Signs, Astangata (eclipsed by sun), Lost in planetary war
Explanation: The above yoga takes into consideration all aspects of prediction the house, the house lord, the significator, the navamsha lords. Thus a holistic view of a house should be formed to arrive at precise results related to a signification. If from multiple sources the bhava is afflicted then the results will definitely happen if there are benefic aspects associations at various layers then the malefic results will be subdued.
Regarding placement of malefics in 9,4,5,8,12 houses the malefics are only good in 3rd, 6th and 11th houses (upchaya sthana) even 10th house being an upchaya sthana is not bad for malefic placement.

Uttara Kalamrita Section IV : Shloka 9: Special Auspicious Yoga on Jupiter, Rahu, Venus, Ketu
The Below yoga mentions such combinations which are against the basic principles of placement and lordship. Hence we suggest that thorough research needs to be done on these yoga. Authors invite the viewers at Astrosutra to give comments and horoscopes for reference where such yogas are present and the effect these yogas had during the relevant dasa bhuktis of Jupiter, Venus, Rahu and Ketu.
The following combinations will give good yoga
Jupiter
1) Jupiter Owning the 3rd and 12th houses
2) Jupiter Owning the 8th House
3) Jupiter Posited in 8th House
Explanation: Seems that Jupiter being the most benefic planet its placement and lordship of bad houses 3rd, 8th, 12th would tend to reduce the beneficance but not destroy it completely.
Note: Makara Lagna Jupiter Owns houses 12 (saggitarius Rasi) and 3rd (Pisces) Jupiter is neutral to saturn. This requires more research as this shloka would mean that Jupiter doesnt give bad results even if it is placed in malefic houses and owns the malefic houses.
Venus
1) Venus Placed in 6th House
Note: Further Research required being 12th from 7th and placement of venus in a dushsthana (malefic house) should give negative results related to partner / marriage. However placement in 6th house would result in venus aspecting the 12th house of expenditure and the person will have the ability to spend on luxuries however placement in 6th house of loans may indicate expenditure after taking loans.
Rahu
1) Placed in 4th, 7th, 10th, 9th and 11th
Explanation: Rahu's Placement in Kendra Sthanas (4,7,10) gives it the potential to give Raja Yoga also its placement in 9th House Trikona. 5th being the house of Sun and significator for progeny is not included in this list as it would also involve malefic effects.
Ketu
1) Ketu Placed in 3rd House
Explanation: Third house has been considered the best placement for ketu as being kujavata (Like Mars) it gives strength to the native in this house. This also results in Rahu occupying the 9th house Trikona Sthana and becoming benefic.
Note: Since 3rd is 8th from 8th house of longevity ketu’s placement in 3rd house would result in malefic results in case of longevity. This needs more research.
The following combinations will give good yoga
Jupiter
1) Jupiter Owning the 3rd and 12th houses
2) Jupiter Owning the 8th House
3) Jupiter Posited in 8th House
Explanation: Seems that Jupiter being the most benefic planet its placement and lordship of bad houses 3rd, 8th, 12th would tend to reduce the beneficance but not destroy it completely.
Note: Makara Lagna Jupiter Owns houses 12 (saggitarius Rasi) and 3rd (Pisces) Jupiter is neutral to saturn. This requires more research as this shloka would mean that Jupiter doesnt give bad results even if it is placed in malefic houses and owns the malefic houses.
Venus
1) Venus Placed in 6th House
Note: Further Research required being 12th from 7th and placement of venus in a dushsthana (malefic house) should give negative results related to partner / marriage. However placement in 6th house would result in venus aspecting the 12th house of expenditure and the person will have the ability to spend on luxuries however placement in 6th house of loans may indicate expenditure after taking loans.
Rahu
1) Placed in 4th, 7th, 10th, 9th and 11th
Explanation: Rahu's Placement in Kendra Sthanas (4,7,10) gives it the potential to give Raja Yoga also its placement in 9th House Trikona. 5th being the house of Sun and significator for progeny is not included in this list as it would also involve malefic effects.
Ketu
1) Ketu Placed in 3rd House
Explanation: Third house has been considered the best placement for ketu as being kujavata (Like Mars) it gives strength to the native in this house. This also results in Rahu occupying the 9th house Trikona Sthana and becoming benefic.
Note: Since 3rd is 8th from 8th house of longevity ketu’s placement in 3rd house would result in malefic results in case of longevity. This needs more research.
