Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 31: Dual, Immovable, Movable Signs and Chhadaka Planets

Part I of The Sloka describes the strength of the Signs(Rashis) and corresponding strength of the aspect of planets occupying those Signs (Rashis)

- The order of Signs in descending order of their strength is: Dual Sign(3,6,9,12) Immovable Sign (2,5,8,11) Movable

Sign(1.4,7,10)

- The Planets having Chhadaka or Vedhaka Aspect on a planet i.e. being in 12th or 2nd to a planet will have

progressively higher strength to the aspect based on the point above.

- The Strength of the Houses where these three planets are posited will also be determined by the above rule.


Part II of the sloka talks abut the Decantes of types of Signs and effect of the position of three planets in a

particular Decantes. In the following Decantes / Drekkana the planets are the strongest and the results will be full:


- If the Planets are in First Drekkana in a Movable Sign

- If the Planets are in Second Drekkana in a a Immovable Sign

- If the Planets are in Third Dreskkana in a Dual Sign


In the following Decantes they are medium strong and the results will be medium


- If the Planets are in Second Drekkana in a Movable Sign

- If the Planets are in Third Drekkana in a a Immovable Sign

- If the Planets are in First Drekkana in a Dual Sign


In the following Decantes they will be weak and the results will be less

- If the Planets are in Third Drekkana in a Movable Sign

- If the Planets are in First Drekkana in a a Immovable Sign

- If the Planets are in Second Dreskkana in a Dual Sign

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 30: Raj Yoga

This sloka provides details of Raj Yoga by the time of birth

If a native is born at about 2 ghatis after midnight or after midday. The native born in such a combination will be equal to a king and will conquer all his enemies. Such a native will be learned, wise and religious.

If in the above combination an exalted planet is in the 2nd house and is aspected by another exalted planet this would result in a native who is a multi millionaire.

If in the above combination the planets are in own sign (rasi) and not exalted the person will be happy and a millionaire.

Explanation

1 Ghati =24 minutes thus 2 Ghati = 48 Minutes

This requires further scientific analysis.

Exalted planets in 2nd house of wealth would result in the native amassing wealth.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 29: Raj Yoga

Following combinations result in wealth, name, fame and kinghood.

1) If all the planets are placed in the Kendras from ascendant(1st,4th,7th,10th) and / or placed in Panphara houses (2nd,5th,8th,11th) houses and there are no planets in Apoklima houses.

2) Benefic planets are strong and are not having malefic influence through relationship.

If the strength of the planets is low the status of the individual suffers.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 28: Wealth Yoga

Yoga for Wealth:

If two or more of the following lords are mutually related by Exchange, Aspect or Conjunction and are also strong the native will become a millionaire

1) Lord of 2nd house

2) Lord of 5th House

3) Lord of 9th House

4) Lord of 11th House

If the Lords of 6th, 8th, 12th Houses participate in this combination it will result in the destruction of wealth, the native will fall into a debt trap and get troubled from enemies.

The above results will accrue to the native in the Dasas of the Lords as described above.

Explanation:

The lords of Trikona and wealth related houses if are mutually related will result in Wealth yoga.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 27 : Special Auspicious Yoga for Wealth

Special Yoga for Wealth is defined and explained below;

The planets have been given measures (Kalas) of brilliance which are represented as follows:

1) Sun : 30

2) Moon: 16

3) Mars: 6

4) Mercury: 8

5) Jupiter: 10

6) Venus: 12

7) Saturn: 1

Now the above measures are used to calculate the number of a Rasi as follows:

Step 1: Add the Kalas(measure mentioned above) of the 9th Lord from Ascendant and 9th Lord from Moon.

Step 2: Divide the above sum by 12

Step 3: Note the Reminder

Step 4: Count the Number obtained in step (3) from the Moon Sign

The results are determined as under;

1) If this Sign (Rasi) is occupied by a benefic without there being a malefic presence it will make the native a millionaire.

2) If only malefic influence then the native will have wealth of a few thousands only.

3) If such malefic is in exaltation sign the native will be a millionaire.

Explanation: This as with other numerical slokas needs further scientific research. However the important point to note here is the brilliance of every planet and the relationship with effect on humans.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 26: Chandra Adhi Yoga

Sloka 26 Chadra Adhi Yoga is defined as below:

1) If benefics occupy the 6th, 7th and 8th houses from the moon

2) No malefics in these houses

The person is a king or equal to a king, gets happiness and luck in life. Is long Lived, Victorious in battles, Learned, Has all the pleasures of life, is blessed with houses, luxuries and vehicles. Is blessed with wife, friends and children.

Explanation:

This yoga is termed as Chandra Adhi Yoga and is also referred to in other classical texts such as Phaladeepika and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra.

This yoga covers the Moon Sign, the 2nd to Moon Sign and the 12th to Moon Sign (Adjacent signs to moon) with benefic influence and hence the good results.

- The planet in 6th house aspects the 12th house from Moon
- The planet in 8th house aspects the 2nd house from Moon
- The planet in 7th house aspects the Moon Sign

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 25: Signification, Creation, Gunas of Planets

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 : Section IV: Sloka 24: Categorization of Houses

This sloka categorized and groups the houses

1) Kendra: The 1st(Ascendant)(Lagna) house, 4th, ;7th, 10th houses (bhavas) are termed as Kendras

2) Panphara: The 2nd houses from the Kendras i.e. 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th are termed as Panpharas


3) Apoklima: The next adjacent houses from Panphara i.e. 3rd, 6th,9th,12th are termed as Apoklima

4) Trikona: 9th and 5th House

5) Upchaya: 3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th House

6) Janma Rasi(Moon Sign): Sign where moon is placed

7) Lagna(Ascendant): Rising Sign at the time of birth is termed as Adi or first house.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 23: Auspicious Yoga

The yoga describes the combination for being a king of kings, wealthy, intelligent, famous and full of valour

1) If the malefics be debilitated

2) Benefics are in strength

3) Benefics occupy Kendra, Trikona houses

4) Lords of 10th, 9th, 4th houses are grouped together in 9th or 10th house

Explanation: Self explanatory, malefic planets are weak and posited in houses where they give good results. This results in heightened benefic aspects in the horoscope.

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 21: Swadheen Vedha, Paradheen Vedha

The Sloka describes the various aspects and its results

1) Aspect on planets by friendly malefics is termed as Swadheen vedha (liberating)

2) Aspect on planets by Inimical malefics is termed as Paradheen vedha (Enslaving)

3) Aspect on planets by friendly benefics is termed as swadheen Vedha(liberating)

2) Aspect on planets by Inimical benefics is termed as Paradheen vedha (Enslaving)

- The results of benefics is good and felt at the beginning

- The results of malefics is bad and felt at the end.

- The natives luck and his longevity shoudl be judged by the above

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: Sloka 17: Rupa Bala

The following, viz., (1) the waning (1) the waning Moon (2) Mercury (3) Venus (4)Full Moon and Jupiter, become auspicious in the proportion of ¼, ½, ¾ and 1
res¬pectively.

Jupiter and Venus become fully favourable when in the house of a benefic
and in conjunction with the lord of the same. The following four groups, viz.
(1) waning Moon and Mercury when he is a malefic,
(2) the Sun
(3) Rahu and Mars and
(4) Ketu and

Saturn are , productive of evil in the same proportion already stated.

1) The Rupa Bala of planets is mentioned in this sloka (Benefic Proportion)

a) Moon without strength : 1/4 Rupa
b) Mercury: 1/3 Rupa
c) Venus: 3/4 Rupa
d) Full Moon , Jupiter: 1 Rupa

2) The Following planets signify malefic strength

a) Moon without strength & Mercury (in conjunction with Malefics): 1/4 Rupa
b) Sun: 1/3 Rupa
c) Rahu, Mars: 3/4 Rupa
d) Ketu, Saturn

3) Jupiter and Venus are auspicious in Rasis owned by benefic planets

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV : Sloka 16 : Benefic Malefic and Placement

1) Benefics (Jupiter and Venus) are strong in the following houses
Kendra, 5th, 9th, 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 6th house

2) Malefics will be auspicious if placed in the upchaya houses

3) Sun and Saturn are auspicious and give good results when in 9th house

4) Mercury is auspicious in the 8th house

5) Saturn is good in Exaltation, own house, or in Jupiter's Signs even if it occupies the lagna

6) Venus is good in 12th house except in Rasi or Amsa of Saturn.



Explanation:

The benefics are strong in Kendra and Trikona. Here in this sloka upchaya houses have beeen added to the list and 2nd

house being the house of wealth has been added for placement of benefics

Malefics are auspicious in upchaya house

Mercury has been termed as auspicious in 8th house. The reason for this could be the significators of mercury have a

close relationship with the house of unknown 8th house. The ability to see the unknown.

Venus being significator of luxuries indicates expenses on luxuries which signify materialistic growth.

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV : Sloka 15 : Strength of Planets

In the following conditions the planet loses strength (Bala)
- In Infancy (0-6 degrees in sign)
- Old Age(25-30 degrees in sign)
- Eclipsed by Sun
- Lost in Planetary war
- Benefic planets aspect east during waxing moon period and vice versa
- Malefic planets aspect east during waning moon period and vice versa
- Jupiter is strong aspecting the West
- Saturn is strong when it is not in retrograde motion
- Saturn and Venus are strong even if they are eclipsed by sun
- Mars in strong even in inimical signs

Points to be noted

- The Ascendant denotes East
- Thus benefic planets get strength from 1st to sixth houses
- Thus malefic planets gain strength from from 8th to 12th houses
- Jupiter is strong in the ascendant

Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV : Sloka 14 : 6th, 8th,12th Lords & Houses

Sloka 14: Special Yoga on 6th, 8th, 12th Lords & Houses

This yoga is an important one and actually mentions multiple principles.

First Principle

1) The Significations of The House (Bhava) whose Lord is posited in the 6th, 8th and 12th house are harmed.

2) The significations of the House (Bhava) where 6th, 8th, 12th Lords are posited are harmed.

3) The significations of the House(Bhava) where 6th, 8th, 12th Lords aspect are harmed.

Second Principle

4) Venus in 12th gives hapiness

5) Mercury in 8th gives hapiness

6) Jupiter in 6th gives hapiness

Third Principle

7) If the planes posited in 6th,8th,12th are in Friendly, Exaltation signs they give good results related to the houses they own.

8) If the Dispositors of planets posited in 6th,8th,12th are in Inimical signs, Debilitation, Astangata (Eclipsed by Sun), Lost in Planetary war the planets posited in these houses give good results.

Uttara Kalamrita: Section IV :Shloka 13 : Auspicious Yoga : Strength of the Bhava

The Bhava gets strengh and auspicious results related to the bhava accrue in case of the following combinations:

1) If a benfic planet occupies own sign, exaltation sign, friendly sign, MoolTrikona Sign, Vargottama Navamsha

2) If a malefic planet occupies a similar position then it also gives good results for the bhava of which it is the lord.

3) If the lord of the bhava, the Dispositor of the Lord, the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the bhava is strong the bhava concerned the results of the bhava are increased.

4) If the Lord of a bhava is placed in a sign with a friendly planet, or in the navamsha rasi of the posited planet is having a friendly planet the artha(wealth) related to the bhava will accrue.

Explanation: Here the connection between the strength of a bhava and its lord is explained. The stronger the bhava lord the stronger is the bhava.
