Lagna lord in Third house: If Lagna Lord is in Sahaja Sthana, the

native is courageous like a Lion (Simha tulya parakrami), endowed

with all kinds of material luxury (sarva sampad yuto), honourable
(maani), have two wives (dvi-bharya), be intelligent (matimaan) and
happy (sukhi).
Third house is the house of valour, younger siblings, communication and sexual morality.
When the Lagna lord is placed in the third house the ideals and intelligence (Lagna) is
focused on the matters of third house.
The symbol of Lion in the matter of courage shows that while the natives of this
combination are valorous, they are principled in the matter of courage and will only show
the courage at the time of need, like a Lion. However, they are calm and composed at
other times and well behaved too. This is similar to the behaviour of Lion, when it is not
on its hunting spree. In addition, when the Lion has quenched its hunger, it does not
long for its hunt any more and generously leave the remains for the lesser predators.
This indicate that native with this combination shall be generous while courageous and
shall not display their courage every now and then. This indication is stronger if Lagna
lord is a malefic and/or the 3rd house is aspected by malefics and/or the karaka for
valour Mars is well placed. The Karakas aspect on the house enhances the significations
of the house, related to that Karaka. Thus while the Lagna lord is placed in the Lagna,
Mars also aspects or placed in the 3rd house, the native is extremely courageous. How
he displays his power in this world is a different matter however, which needs to be seen
from the 3rd or 6th from the Arudha Lagna.
In the real life the quality of courage translates into risk taking behaviour. Hence when
the Lagna lord is placed in the 3rd house, such people become high risk taker. Because
they are not afraid of anything, they more than often take initiative in whatever comes
their way. This makes them a natural leader and respected by their peers. However, as
mentioned before this, influence to be strong on the native, the karaka Mars should be
well placed and/ or influence the 3rd house.
The third house is also given the name of Upachaya, which represents growth. When the
Lagna lord is placed in the Upachaya, the native like to gain from the environment
surrounding them and they are in the pursuit of procuring all the materials of comfort.
The important necessities of growth are Intelligence and effort. Among the four
upachayas, namely 3/6/10/11, the 3rd and 6th house shows the intelligence required for
the growth (from Lagna it is the growth of self) while the 10th and the 11th shows the
efforts. Thus, if the Lagna lord is placed in the 3rd house or 6th house, the natives are
intelligent and also called Dhi-Mantah. To illustrate this, Maharishi says that the natives
with the Lagna lord placed in the 3rd house are Mati-maan (Mati means intelligence and
Maan means endowed with). Along with this Maharishi used the term Sukhi or
happiness. This is a continuous endeavour of human to attain happiness in their life.
Thus a person having the mentioned combination would take any kind of risk to attain

the matters of comfort and having a happy life. The key thing here to be noted is that
the native would rarely dependent on others to attain the comforts and shall use their
intelligence instead.
Third house is also the house which governs the attitude towards sexual relationships
and the sexual morals. Many say that this is also the house of Copulation. The placement
of the Lagna lord in the 3rd house also draws the native towards these indications and
hence the native becomes passionate. They crave to have sexual relationships with
many, however, whether this shall be predominant in the nature of the native can only
be seen from the combinations supporting or opposing it. While the combinations VenusMars or Moon- Mercury gives high sexual passion, Ketu helps in curbing the same. All
the influences needed to be taken before pronouncing the result. This is why Maharishi
says that the native with the Lagna lord in the 3rd house have two wives.
