(Mesha)/ Aries Lagna:

The head of the Kalapurusha. The Royal sign. Ruled by the fiery Mars, lording
the 8th House also. Sudden changes in life are implicit but would also
depend on the placement of the 8th co-Lord Ketu. Yes, Ketu also lords
Scorpio. Jupiter is also a good planet, ruling Bhagya and foreign travel. Red
Coral can be worn. So can the Ruby, indicative of Surya, the 5th Lord of the
future of the Jataka. Jupiters Pushyaraga/ Pukhraj can also be worn. Avoid
Diamond as Shukra is a Maraka for the Lagna and avoid any of these Ratnas
given above if the planets indicated are placed in strength in the 3rd or 6th
Houses from the Arudha Lagna. Unless you want to give everything up and
head to the forest! Emerald, generally no no, as Budh is a functional malefic,
being the 3rd and 6th Lord for all you fiery, headstrong and ambitious
folk. There is a problem in that without association with saints and Sanyss,
prayers might not be accepted.
Gur (Guru) shows the Dharma of the Lagna and so the natural inclination
would be towards eternal wisdom and the esoteric arts shown by Gur
(Guru). Bhagwna is important for the natives governed by Mesa (Mesha)
Lagna and Mangala (Mangala) because this is the only way the battle can be
won. Bhagwan Bhakta Vatsala, Mangala (Mangala).
Everything is archetypal for this Lagna since all the planets are the natural
lords of the Bhvas they govern. If ani (Shani) indicates sloggers and
slogging then it is all the more so for this Lagna since the Graha rules the
10th Bhva (Bhava) of Karma and the profession. In this manner all the
planets, lords of the Bhvas (Bhavas) are to be understood.
(Vrishabha)/ Taurus Lagna:
The pleasure loving ruled by Shukra, who also rules the 6th House of
enemies. Diamond can be worn save for the conditions laid down in Aries
above. Placement of ukra in the Lagna can form the celebrated Mlavya
(Malavya)Yoga which can give a major knowledge of finance and taste for
rich food. Finance and conservatism will be dominant in the personality.
Shani is the Yogakaraka but also the Badhak Lord. Devi worship might
become important to get over the struggle which appears destined. Blue
Sapphire is possible but I do not recommend this stone ever. If you want to
appease Lord Shani, do it differently. Emerald is a good choice as Mercury
rules the 2nd and 5th. Eloquence can be aplenty if this Graha is well placed.
Quite conservative and focused on finances. The sturdy and powerful Bull.

Avoid Pukhraj unless Rahu is placed in the 9th House. Likewise for the pearl
as the Moon is the functionally malefic 3rd Lord of the chart.

Great fixity is seen and conservatism since this is a Sthira Ri (Rashi) and
the anger of the bull can be tremendous if roused. Be careful with these
people especially if planets are placed in the first Drekkna (Drekkana).
These people have landed property and are the Zamindrs of yore. There is a
tendency to get the most out of people they interact with. This is the
exaltation sign or the Uchcha Ri of the Moon and so the kingdom of the
world resides in this Ri. The Moolatrikona Ri (Moolatrikona Rashi) of the
Moon as well and so Vaiya (Vaishya) interaction is at its highest here (read
money-making).
Mithuna Lagna:
Communication, writing, information and Mercurial worlds are dominant.
Governed by Mercury. Mercury also rules the 4th House and, please, it does
NOT carry the Kendradhipati Dosha. Just like you cant blame yourself for
owning your personality (at least not usually, I hope), please afford the same
privilege to Budh. Guru is the Bdhaka, so if it is not afflicted and is wellplaced, obstacles that come from the Badhak shall not come. Fortune will
rise after the marriage is Gur is well placed in the radix.
Mars is a bad planet for the Lagna and Red Coral is best avoided. Regarding
the Ratnas we would do well to remember in general that the placement of
the Grahas from the rha Lagna and from the Lagna in the Somantha
Drekkna must always be seen.
Emerald is safe. Venus is also a good planet, ruling the 5th: a Lakshmi
Sthana and the basically neutral 12th House. Diamond is also a fair
possibility. Take care of that nervous system. Even if Mars signifies it, it is
your own nervous system and in the Dasha of Budh guard against excessive
thought. Shani-Surya Yoga in a Dusthana can give an astounding Vipreeta
Raja Yoga at times.
There is a rider that comes with ukra (Shukra) since the inherent attributes
or theKrakattwa of ukra are liable to take a beating due to the sexual
structure of Mithuna Ri (Rashi).

Being the 3rd Bhva from the Lagna in the Bha Chakra of the Klapurua
(Kalapurusha), this Ri indicates copulation and the culmination of all sexual
activity. This is the result of the Kma Trikona (Kama Trikona) or the trine
relating to sexuality.

Karkata Lagna:
Receptive, like Chandra who lords the Lagna. The pearl is a good gem to
wear. Mars is a Yogakaraka and can give rise on its own. It can also give
Vipreeta Raja Yoga if placed in a Dusthana or afflicted but the significations
of conjoining planet will be stressed. Shukra is the Badhak and is also a
functional malefic. Guru lords the Bhagya but also the 6th House, therefore it
is a mixed planet for this Lagna.
This status of a mixed planet can be radically altered by a significantly
dignified placement of Gur because the most benefic planet in the zodiac
does not need much in order to shower the person with unlimited bounty.
Rahu is the 8th Lord and can become even more diabolical in this Lagna.
Shani is equally problematic except if it is placed in Lagna where it gives
Simhasan Yoga. It will give rise. As in Lagna it will be in Marana Karaka
Sthana and will damage the 7th and 8th Houses, which it lords. Therefore,
people with this placement can experience difficulties in marriage or in
getting married.
This is also indicative of issues arising even when ani (Shani) may not be
placed in the Lagna Bhva (Bhava) due to its 7th Bhva (Bhava) lordship.
ani (Shani) is a slow and old planet and gives its results only when the
slowness and delay has manifested and years have passed. One other facet
to remember in this context is that ani (Shani) matures at 36 years of age
and before that the areas either lorded or influenced by the planet Saturn
will pose considerable problems. ani (Shani) has no time for youngsters who
according to him do not know anything, are not capable of anything and only
when the Graha delivers the Karma will they sit up, take notice, cry a little
and finally 'grow up' when they become more tolerable for ani (Shani).
Some natives born in this sign display an extremely competitive streak and
can use lesser than the best means to pull others down. This of course is

never to be applied blindly but must be confirmed by the other features of

the horoscope.

Simha Lagna:
Another royal sign ruled by the Sun itself. Pride, authority, inability to ask for
favours. Ruby can be worn. Jupiter lords the 5th but also the 8th. The Dasha
of Guru can transform life. However, transformation might be in context of
discharging Krmic burden. The results of the Gur Da (Guru Dasha) will
be hugely dependent on the dignity and strength of the Graha. Mangala/
Mars is again Yogakaraka but also the Bdhaka (Badhaka). As it rules the 9th
House, there may be conflict and struggle at the level of luck. Surya/ Shiva
must be propitiated. This can work for lawyers as they thrive on conflict and
litigation. Still, it might be a good idea to ease ones own life path. Even
lawyers are entitled to that. The Moon is the 12th Lord and if afflicted or if it
is an Amvasya (Amavasya) birth, the mind can become vulnerable to acute
suffering. Mercury, though malefic is like Kubera for the chart and can bring
wealth if associated with the rdha (Arudha) Lagna.
Shani is malefic for the Lagna. This is for the reason that it is the Graha
lording the atru Bhva (Shatru Bhava) and indicates enmity in the
horoscope. It can bring illness, debts, enemies, general nuisances and
emotional issues. It also rules the area of marriage and so some romantic
partners may end up showing an inimical attitude to the native. ani rules
suffering and delivering of some onerous Karma and so if the planet is very
strong and finally disposed to relent then people may not look to harm the
person in relationships but the relationships may not work out till the heavy
Karma (also seen through Bhva lordships of the Da (Dasha) lords) is
exhausted. The person may look for pragmatic partners capable of doing
'what is required'.
ani (Shani) will delay marriage and functional relationships, generally
speaking and a lot of work will be required if growth is expected of the 6th
House, work and/ or remedial measures. Work, if the Graha is associated with
work or with Bhvas associated with work by extension; remedial
measures if the higher facets of Jyotisa (Jyotisha) indicate the performance
of remedial measures.

Though there are other Ris (Rashis) with the Agni Tattwa, Simha has the
highest quantum of fire within it. For this reason, people with this Lagna
should not undertake onerous fasts as the Pitta/ bile in the Ri (Rashi)
always needs something to work on. People accuse the natives of this Lagna
of being aloof and distant, too royal and unwilling to consider other their
equals.
Kany (Kanya) Lagna:
Mercury again. The plea of the whole world is, perfection is alright to strive
for, but is not to be found in existence. So, do keep that in mind. Very finicky.
Emerald is again a good idea and Venus is a good planet, so the diamond is
also a good gem. Saturn is a mixed planet as it lords the 5th and 6th but
Rahu, lording Kumbha is the malefic 6th Lord. Mars is the most malefic planet
and can bring adversity in its Dasha unless well placed in Vipreeta Raja Yoga.
In Lagna, it can bring fiery issues. There is this film called Anger
Management.

This sign has some deep complexities and when asked to deal with animal
maturity, it falters since this is the sign of the debilitation of ukra (Shukra) .
No sex does not agree with ukra and this Graha would like to have nothing
to do with virgins indicated by Kany (Kanya) Lagna. If ukra (Shukra) is not
engaged in sexuality and sensuality and intercourse of that kind it feels
fallen and debilitated. There is a huge sense of purity as an objective
because the sign is dual and has some sort of affinity with sin or ignorance
encapsulated in some sort of belief that -'nobody is watching'. One must
remember that Jagantha has huge round eyes and He is watching all the
time. The great imuprity of the Ppapurua (Sin-Man), symbolised by all our
Krmic falterings by the Graha ani pose by far the greatest issues, even
more than the abrupt Agni impulse of the malefic Magala. There is a reason
as to why people with an exalted ukra (Shukra) in Mna Ri (Meena Rashi)
have marital issues and that reason is to be found in Kany Ri (Kanya
Rashi).
This is the area in the horoscope that harbours unbridled ambition. It
compels people to work and to go to work everyday. If breakthroughs in this
realm are experiences it can mean relief coming through Kany or the 6th
Bhva and this means the 6th Bhva is becoming an Upacaya Bhva
indicating growth. Illusion and malefic tendencies can be pronounced in the

Kany (Kanya) experience.

(Tula) Lagna:
Private sector, social focus, love, attraction and other areas ruled by Shukra.
Shukra is also the 8th Lord so the potential for changes in life is implicit.
Jupiter is a functional malefic so the gemstone should not be lightly worn.
Shani is Yogakaraka and can bring rise on its own. In a Dusthana it can give
Vipreeta Raja Yoga. Mercury rules Bhagya so emerald is also a good choice
but avoidable for the newly married, always. Avoid the red coral as Mars is
Maraka.
Since this Ri (Rashi) is the one directly opposite Mea Ri (Mesha Rashi)/
Aries it also has a problem that the working intellect can be tainted by the
filth of ignorance and worse so that prayers are not accepted automatically.
While ukra (Shukra) is himself the greatest ascetic he likes nothing better
than to tell the person under his prowess that there is nothing more than
pleasing the senses in this life. For such natives the Dwi-Gur Yoga can come
in handy.
The persons born under this sign are sociable and fond of material
pleasures. It may not be ideal for them to get into power-centric domains
and they would do better instead in realms related to fashion, beauty, luxury
and film. The person would be quite competitive in the work application. A
logical approach will work well in matters of religion.
This Ri (Rashi) is susceptible to disease and serious sexual ailments such
as AIDS come from this Ri (Rashi). Positive Grahas are required to combat
these illnesses in the horoscope.
Vriscika Lagna:
Lorded by both Mars and Ketu. Guru is very auspicious, ruling the 2nd and
the 5th Houses. One cannot term Gur (Guru) as Mraka (Maraka) and bode
evil due to a Ri (Rashi) placement of Gur (Guru). Gur (Guru) is the
greatest protection in the nativity and is a representative of Bhagwna. It is
the only Graha which does good for the native without asking for anything in
return. We must also remember that Parara has a specific dictum for the
placement of Gur (Guru) in the Lagna in any Ri (Rashi) whatsoever.
Mercury is a functional malefic. Shani remains a malefic. Venus is a Maraka.

Sun is a good planet, ruling Karma. The Moon is also a benefic for the Lagna,
ruling luck itself. The pearl, Ruby and Red Coral can be choices for this
Lagna. These people can be pre-disposed to research and occult study and
the Guru-Mangal Yoga can be especially fruitful.
If I do not mince my words, the Jtaka of this Lagna will readily agree that
they have faced some heavy trials in life. If the Grahas are not very strong in
the nativity then they will often feel that they have had to carry some
unseen burden. This is a difficult Ri and the challenge is to keep the heart
clean and at any cost the emotions should not be poisoned. Refer back to the
part about Gur above and this need not be taken literally-it can be any
source of wisdom and illumination. Some natives can be hirsute.
Dhanu Lagna:
Lorded by Gur (Guru) which is the Lagnea (Lagnesha) and the ruling
Graha. Pushyaraga/ Pukhrja (Pukhraja) or the yellow sapphire is an
automatic choice since it is the Ratna of the Lagnea (Lagnesha) or the
Lagna Lord. The gemstone for Mars/ Magala (Mangala), the red coral or
Mg (Moonga) is also a good choice, being the 5th Lord. The sign rules
teachers, lawyers and finance professionals. It is the Mtatkoa
(Moolatrikona) of Ketu and the Swaketra (Swakshetra) or own house of Gur
(Guru) nand so it gives expression to profound religious and spiritual
literature with a focus on final emancipation through eternal wisdom or
Jna. The Sun rules Bhagya and the Ruby is a good choice along with the
red coral. Mercury is a Badhak planet and also carries the Kendradhipati
Dosha; if it is afflicted, it can cause trouble. Shukra is also a functional
malefic lording the 6th and the 11th Houses and can punish. So, natives of
this Lagna can experience trouble in the area of romance and marriage
unless the Karma is offset by fine placements in the nativity.
Makara Lagna:
Lorded by Shani. Pragmatic and practical people, good with managerial and
functional aspects of life. Venus is the Yogakaraka and diamond is a good
choice. Jupiter is a malefic for this Lagna. Mercury, though the 6th Lord is
also the 9th Lord and is a bit of a mixed planet. Mars is not bad as it gets
exalted in the Lagna and only Ketu can truly pose trouble for the chart. For
this reason red coral or Mg for Magala cannot be ruled out for the Lagna
at the outset. Guru, even if debilitated can give Rajayoga provided Shani is
placed in strength. Not everything in life comes without a price, if at all, so

this placement can pose troubles to siblings if Guru is Neecha in Lagna.

Makara is also known by the name Nakra. It indicates fixity and a certain
Krmic confusion which makes the blessings of Gur (Guru) slightly difficult
to receive. Readers should dwell in the pictorial and symbolic representation
of this Ri (Rashi) for further insights.
Kumbha Lagna:
Kumbha Lagna is lorded by both ani and Rhu (Shani and Rahu).
Philosophical, linked with groups, democratic. This sign is so expansive,
though malefic, that Gur (Guru), the most benefic planet gives results akin
to exaltation. It is a good thing because there is real need for the illumination
that comes from wisdom for this sign.
Shukra is Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) and is capable of giving success on its
own withut requiring association of any other Graha. It gives excellent
results. The diamond is a good choice for this Lagna. Mercury is the 5th and
8th Lord is a favorable planet but can also bring sudden adversity and
requirements of personal transformation which are always vulnerable periods
and cannot be said to be auspicious from the social point of view.
Jupiter can be a wealth planet for this Lagna as it lords the 2nd and the 11th
Houses for the chart-it is capable of performing functions akin to Kubera, the
lord of wealth. An interesting point to note here is that despite Rahus bad
reputation, it can crown the native with success when it transits the trines to
the Arudha Lagna. It is opposite for the same transit of Ketu.
Natives of this Lagna might do well to look up some thoughts at this website
by clicking this link- 'happy hours'. There is a lot of mood altering going on in
this sign and intoxication and pharmaceuticals find their roots in this Ri.

Meena Lagna:
The sign of release, final emancipation. The Rai (Rashi) of the is (Rishis).
The persons born in this Lagna are ruled by Brihaspati, the Gur (Guru) of
the planet Jupiter, the greatest benefic in the zodiac. Those with Guru in
Lagna have the Hamsa Mahapurusha Yoga. Very pious and spiritual people.
Such people with Gur (Guru) in Mna (Meena) Lagna have extremely high

levels of intelligence and the benefits of the Lagna come through the Tattwa
or the foundational elements of creation.
Mars is also a very favorable and both Pushyaraga and the Mg (Moonga)/
Red Coral is also a good choice. Magala (Mangala) being the 2nd Lord and
the 9th Lord acts almost as a Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Mna (Meena)
Lagna. Shukra/ Venus lords the 3rd and 8th Lord and can bring trials, so the
diamond is best avoided, generally speaking. Romance and marriage as too
delicate and unfavourable placement of Venus for the Mna Lagna can cause
problems.
This Ri (Rashi) also has some Krmic perplexities associated with it and the
fact that they have a sleepy and dreamy demeanour could have more to it.
The Moon is an auspicious Graha for this Lagna, being the 5th Lord of Prva
Punya (Poorva Punya) or good deeds done in the past lives. If Budha/
Mercury is involved in auspicious combinations then the Doa (Dosha) of
ownership of the quadrants will not manifest.
Glancing at the various Lagnas in this manner is only the tip of the iceberg as
far as predictive Jyotisa (Jyotisha) is concerned and specific professional
papers composed for consulters all over the world such as the Detailed Chart
Analysis, Customised or Composite Charts Analyses-coalescing various
astrological modules, Compatibility Analysis, Tithi Pravea Cakra Analysis/
Annual Chart Analysis et al serve to demonstrate the manner in which these
multifarious Vedic astrological techniques use the principles in a pragmatic
manner so as to address the needs of the clients.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF CERTAIN YOGAS IN JYOTIA (JYOTISH) FOR
VARIOUS LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTSBy Yoga is meant 'yoking' or joining and this may not accrue only due to two
or more Grahas, even though this is the most common manner in which
Yogas are formed.
It might be apposite here to discuss certain Yogas that might obtain with
respect to the Lagna/ Ri (Rashi)/ sign/ascendant (s) the characteristics of
which have been enumerated above for the sake of continuity and cohesion
of understanding.
When core astrological areas such as the characteristics and attributes of the

various Lagnas are coalesced with the much discussed Yogas, especially in
focussed professional consulting work, it becomes possible to understand the
potential of life and what the person has to work with as a given. Free-will
and determinism are complex theoretical issues and while there are crystal
clear expositions on the subject in Jyotisa, for the present purposes suffice it
to say that when the combinations formed by the planets in certain signs are
analysed, they start telling a certain story, which is an incredible mirror to
what has transpired in life, what is happening and of course what may
reasonably be expected to occur at a future time. Other factors such as
Das make it a picture so rich and replete with realism, that this ancient art
becomes irresistible.
(Mesha) Lagna/ AriesThe celebrated Gur-Mangala (Guru-Mangal) Yoga formed by the association,
including conjunction of Mars and Jupiter is an auspicious Yoga where the
Agni is channeled well and the knowledge and wisdom attained are
expressed well. The placement of ani (Shani) in dignity with Gur (Guru)
can also make for the Dharmakarmdhipati (Dharmakarmadhipati) Yoga
where the application in work is excellent. The sobering factors come from
the 8th House lordship of Magala (Mangal) and the Bdhaka (Badhaka)
status of ani (Shani) as the 11th Lord for the movable Lagna.

(Vrishabha) Lagna/ Taurusani (Shani) is the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) Graha for the Vabha
(Vrishabha) Lagna and as the 9th and 10th Lord of the horoscope it is itself
capable of giving the Rjayoga (Rajayoga).
Readers should refer to my article on Viparta Rja Yoga on this website for
further insight as to the unique position a malefic Yogakraka enjoys by
virtue of certain placements in the horoscope. (Without accent marks, the
Yoga is written as Vipareeta Raja Yoga).
Budha is an excellent planet for this Lagna and the Yoga of either Lagnea
(Lagnesha) ukra (Shukra) with ani (Shani) (despite other problems that
such a combination might create) or the Yoga or ukra (Shukra) with Budha

can be excellent.

Mithuna Lagna The auspiciousness of the Yogas is quite similar, and these are statements
tarred with a very broad brush-since Yogas are a huge subject in Jyotia
(Jyotisha) and cannot be discussed in snippets, to those obtaining for Taurus
Lagna. Gemini/ Mithuna Lagna is governed by Budha and the association of
this planet with ukra (Shukra) leads to auspicious results. The association of
the Lagnea (Lagnesha) Budha with the Pacamea ukra (Panchamesha
Shukra) leads to excellent results.
Karkaa (Karkata) Lagna When we think of either the former Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi or the
Chief Minister of Orissa r Navin Pattanaik, ani (Shani) in Karkaa (Karkata)
Lagna is a sure-shot Rjayoga (Rajayoga). This happens only with Mna
(Meena) or Karkaa Ri (Karkata Rashi) in the Simhsana (Simhasana)/
throne Bhvas (Bhavas).
There may be problems associated with the Krakattwa of ani (Shani) in
these placements but the Rjayoga (Rajayoga) accrues to the extent
promised by the horoscope. Other crucial planets should of course not be
flushed down the drain in order for the benefits to come through properly.
Mangala (Mangal) is an excellent planet for this Lagna ruling the 5th Bhva
(Bhava) from the Lagna and the 10th Bhva (Bhava) from the Lagna as well.
If well placed both the spiritual and material worlds and their blessings are
forthcoming to the native. We should again remember the Viparta Rja Yoga
(Vipareeta Raja Yoga) that will come from the malefic Yogakraka
(Yogakaraka) but the ideal situation is that such a Graha should not be
placed with another beneficial Graha which the malefic will destroy.
A great Hamsa Mhpurua (Mahapurusha) Yoga is formed if Gur (Guru) is
placed in the Lagna in exaltation. One can pray to the Ri Cakra (Rashi
Chakra) of Bhagwna r Rma (Bhagwana Shri Rama) with exalted Jupiter/
Gur (Guru) in Karkaa Lagna (Karkata)/ Cancer joined a Swaketra
(Swakshetra)/ own sign Cadra (Chandra) forming Gajakesar (Gajakesari)

Yoga in the Lagna. Any association of Gur (Guru) with Karka Ri (Rashi) in
the radix and in the Navma Cakra (Navamsha Chakra) will bless the native
with high spirituality and esoteric wisdom. External benefits such as name
and fame shall also come.

NoteThe impact for the rwelve Lagnas from Mesa (Mesha)/ Aries to Mna (Meena)/
Pisces is also largely contingent on the transits of the various planets and
this is applied to the Lagnas for the rising sign or the Ascendant/ Udaya
Lagna, the Cadra (Chandra) Lagna/ Ri/ (Rashi) Janma Ri (Janma
Rashi)or just Ri (Rashi) and of course to the rdha Lagna (Arudha Lagna).
The website offers premium monthly Vedic astrology content which is
restricted to subscribers and is not being published on the website. The
content is being sent to the subscribers through an elaborate email/
independent PDF attachment focussing on each sign/ Vedic Ri (rashi) and
the movement of the nine planets/ Grahas as it applies to the Lagna, Cadra
Lagna (Chandra Lagna) and rha (Arudha) Lagna continuum described in
the post the link to which is given at the end of this Note.
The movement of the Grahas is being evaluated from the Lagna, Cadra
(Chandra) Lagna/ Moon Sign, rdha (Arudha) Lagna and advanced findings
being recorded based on correlations of the various astrological entities such
as Bhva (Bhava), aspects, conjunctions, signs, intervention/ Argala et al.
This will also include the application of the device of Varga Gochara or
divisional transits based on the Amas (Amshas) attained by the planets in
transit. The subtle picture is revealed in this manner making it a composite
whole.

Simha LagnaThe ruling planet is Ravi/ the Sun and its placement in a certain Bhva from
the Lagna is key. Since the Srya (Surya) Lagna is a reference in itself and it
is the lord of the Lagna, one must study the placement of the Sun with care.

Budha/ Mercury is a good planet and Gur as the 5th and 8th Lord carries
great spiritual and transforming potential. An association of Gur and Budha
apart from giving excellent communication skills, intelligence, logical ability,
rationality and intellectual alacrity and adaptability, also forms the Guriya (Guru Shishya) Yoga where the person stands to learn from esoteric
traditions. Budha speacially plays the role of Kubera being the 2nd and the
11th Lord and its involvement in any Dhana Yogas are bound to bring great
gains to the person born in Simha Lagna.
Magala (Mangal)/ Mars is by far the best and most favourable planet for this
Lagna being the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Lagna and having the
power to give Rjayoga (Rajayoga) on its own. Association of Gur (Guru)
with Magala (Mangal) forms the Gur-Magala (Guru-Mangala) Yoga which
is excellent for lawyers, teachers, judges, finance professionals and
spiritualists alike. If the horoscope is otherwise strong, an association of
ukra (Shukra) with Magala (Mangal) can form Dharmakarmdhipati
(Dharmakarmadhipati) Yoga and can lead to stupendous achievement in the
career realm.
In Ravi is placed in the Daama Bhva (Dasham Bhava) or the 10th House it
attains 100% Digbala/ directional strength and imparts great leadership skills
to the native.
(Kanya) LagnaSince this Lagna is the exaltation sign for Budha/ Mercury, the placement of
Budha in Lagna leads to the Bhadra Mahpurua (Mahapurusha) Yoga. ukra
(Shukra) is the 2nd and the 9th Lord from the Lagna and any association of
Budha and ukra (Shukra) is likely to generate Lakm (Lakshmi) Yoga.
Despite the ownership of the Kedra (Kendra) if Gur (Guru) is well placed in
the Ri Cakra (Rashi Chakra) fortune can smile after marriage. ani (Shani)
is a mixed planet being the 6th Lord as well and generally speaking causes
notable problems for this Lagna. Cadra (Chandra) is the 11th Lord and
association with the benefic Budha and ukra (Shukra) can augment gains
and lead to the fulfilment of desires. Yogas involving these planets will be
fortunate for the native of Kany (Kanya) or Virgo Lagna.
(Tula) Lagna-

For this Lagna, the natural malefic ani (Shani) is a Yogakraka (Yogakaraka)
and is capable of giving Rjayoga (Rajayoga) on its own without assistance
from another Graha. It is the lord of the 4th and the 5th Houses, a Kendra
(Kendra) and Tkona (Trikona) both and so Vihnu-Lakm (Vishnu-Lakshmi)
Yoga is guarantted if ani (Shani) supports.
A unique Yoga is formed when ani (Shani) is placed in the Dusthna
(Dusthana) from the Lagna in either the 6th, 8th or the 12th Bhvas from the
Lagna where unexpected success accrues to the native. It is ideal if no other
Graha is placed with ani (Shani) because the malefic Yogakraka
(Yogakaraka) is capable of damaging the significations of the other Graha.
Budh strongly indicates foreign lands and works well when participating in
Yogas with the Lagnea ukra (Lagnesha Shukra) or with ani (Shani),
though considering the nature of these Grahas they should not impact
certain Bhvas (Bhavas).
(Vrishchika)Gur (Guru) is an excellent Graha for this Lagna and the blessings are in fact
required for the persons born under this rising sign/ Lagna/ Ascendant. Gur
(Guru)/ Jupiter rules the 2nd and 5th Bhvas from the Lagna and strongly
indicates Lakm (Lakshmi). It governs the type of Karm (Karma) that the
native shall experience and also the quality of speech, absorption of
knowledge, finances, food and drink, intelligence, discrimination, progeny
and such areas which have to be shortlisted based on other factors in the
horoscope.
Cadra (Chandra)/ the Moon is also an excellent planet for this Lagna being
the Bhgyea (Bhagyesha) or the 9th Lord. A Gajakear (Gajakesari) Yoga
would truly make the native a renowned figure as the intelligence and purity
would also be supported by sheer fortune. Ravi is the 10th Lord as it should
be. There are two great blessings by way of ready made Yogas for this Lagnaone they are inherently blessed in matters of progeny and children and two,
Karm and application in work is excellent since Ravi attains a kind of Krmic
Digbala.
Tests are thus reserved in the personal realm only and are mostly directed to
life circumstance and personality.

(Dhanusha) LagnaGur (Guru) in the Lagna forms Hamsa Mahpurusa (Mahapurusha) Yoga and
the person will be excellent in his knowledge of finance, spiritualism, esoteric
arts, and religion. This is an excellent Yoga for this Lagna. Ravi as the lord of
the Bhgya Sthna (Bhagya Sthana) makes divinity all the more manifest in
life. The soul connects easily with God if the Sun is powerful and well placed
in the nativity.
Despite the Kendrdhipati Dosa (Kendradhipati Dosha) attributed to Budha, if
this Graha is well placed, the areas of work and marriage will give a lot of
happiness, especially work awarness will be at a premium. So many other
factors such as the Karmea (Karmesha) will play an important role before
anything can be ventured but then all that is in the realm of predictiveanalytical work and here in this paper Yogas and combinations are being
dicsussed.

Makara LagnaThis is one of the signs with inherent Krmic (Karmic) confusion. Even so,
ukra/ Shukra/ Venus is the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) Graha for this Lagna as
it lords a Kendra (Kendra/ quadrant) and a Trikona (Trikona/ trine) from the
Lagna both. The auspicious placement of Venus for Makar/ Capricorn Lagna
can make life vastly different.
Mercury is a problem planet being the 6th and the 9th lord both for the
Lagna. Jealousy can inhibit real growth but is such problems are addressed
then Bhgya can flower. The Yoga of Budha with ukra (Shukra) and with
ani (Shani) though causative of other issues can lead to Lakm (Lakshmi)
Yoga and such fortunate combinations.
Duryoga or bad things can accrue through artificial ego-aspirations due to
the malefic lordship of the Sun. Mangala (Mangal/ Mars) even though inimical
to the Lagnea ani (Lagnesha Shani) is not in itself a bad Graha for the
Lagna. Firstly, Mangala (Mangal) gets exalted in the Lagna and rules the 4th
and 11th Bhvas (Bhavas/ houses). Secondly, enterprise and aspirations may
have been viewed with circumspection when the Yogas were put down in

writing by the sages (Rsis/ Rishis) but in the Kaliyuga and in the birth in
Bhloka (Bhuloka) the quality of initiative and enterprise aimed at gains and
aspirations and their attainment cannot be viewed with a slanted eye.
In other words the Yogas involving Mars are crucial for this Lagna.
(Kumbha) LagnaFor the Kumbha or Aquarius Lagna Rhu and ani (Rahu and Shani) are
crucial planets as they lord the Lagna.
ukra (Shukra/ Venus) is again the Yogakraka (Yogakaraka) for the Lagna
ruling the 4th and the 9th Houses. Check the dignity and placement of the
Moon/ Cadra (Chandra) for the Karma relating to the mother and for mental
peace due to the portfolio allocated to ukra (Shukra) who is not aligned with
the Moon.
Due to their own fluidity, they look for a dominant and regal spouse and so
marriage can impact status and resources considerably. Mars is equally
important as it is for Capricorn Lagna/ Makara/ Nakra due to the 3rd and 10th
House lordship.
Budha is a Krmic planet and this factor can never be overlooked, especially
in the Da (Dasha) even if this Graha is placed in the 5th Bhva from the
Lagna.
Meena LagnaOnce again this sign has some Krmic (Karmic issues) and Gur (Guru/
Jupiter) is the best planet for the Lagna. Despite the friendship with the
Lagnea (Lagnesha), Ravi/ the Sun can be a really problematic planet. I have
found people of this Lagna besotted with politics, power and authority
figures, all indicated by the Sun and they are usually a long way off the
mark.
While Mangala (Mangala) is a Deva Graha its malefic lordship for the Bhgya
Bhva (Bhagya Bhava) is not easy and remedial measures are required. Once
the fate anf fortune decides to smile then Yogas between Gur (Guru) and
Budha for instance can create excellent knowledge based environments. The
Moon and Jupiter can also form excellent Yogas due to their beneficial

lordships from the Lagna.

Thus when we see the characteristics of the Lagna and the Yogas that can
obtain to propel the natives of the various Lagnas, with their own
characteristics and life paths, we can begin to understand the basic
framework which results for the purposes of elaborate astrological analysis.
All these factors are then carried over to each divisional chart of interest and
studied with the many, countless tools of esoteric classical Vedic astrology/
Jyotisa in order to arrive at specific understandings about the person's life.
This is crucial. Humanity has advanced and nations have advanced as far as
empirical and material life is concerned and such focused and elaborate work
must distinguish between the varying characteristics of people's lives so as
to astutely explain to them the reasons and the background and the future
propensities about their own lives and not just some general trends that
might broadly apply to anyone with similar Yogas. This sort of attention to
detail and personalised adherence to the horoscope at hand has to be the
hallmark of all consulting.
