A three steps to analyze a character, the concept of truth

November 8, 2008

There are a few steps to quickly see whether a person is a good or bad person. This is not
only useful in judgement of a character and remedial measures suggested, but I was
prompted to write on this subject, since many people contacted me privately asking how
to see whether a person is really sincere and good or not
FIRST STEP
1. Malefic planet in lagna gives bad personality. Choices and decisions are bad and
intelligence is misguided.
2. Surya in Lagna will show the satvic nature fully if aspected by Guru. If Surya is
aspected by malefics a person will be knowledagble and intelligent, yet he or she will be
of bad tamper, cruel, sadistic and of abusive nature. They will always think that they
know of everything, which is of course wrong.
3. Benefics in lagna are good. Budha and Shukra create a bit selfish and overenjoying
nature (greedy rajas grahas), yet theyb will never hurt others delibratelly, as is the case
with malefics. Budha also becomes excellent if aspected by Guru. Waxing Chandra, and
Guru are excellent.
IF THERE ARE NO PLANETS CHECK THE SIGN IN LAGNA AND PLACEMENT
OF LAGNESHA. Meena, karka and dhanu are satvic signs of pure akash tatva and are
the best. Rajasic signs are good but greedy, tamasic signs are bad for the character of a
person.
NEXT STEP
1. Check the 4th house of purity and faith. Benefics in 4th house give good heart,
tolerance, faith, while malefics give the opposite.
2. Chandra and Shukra are excellent and give compassion and love for people. Guru is
best in the value of tolerance, while other malefics are bad. Surya gives cruelty and
selfishness unless influenced by Guru.
3.If there are no planets check the signs as per the same procedure.
Now with these two steps we can have the following combination.
1. Benefic infleunces on Lagna and 4th house, good nature and personality. If there are no
planets, then signs will give the same.

2. Malefic infleunces give a bad character. If both lagna and 4th house have a malefic
inside, or one has a malefic and another has malefic sign, a person is a cheater, cruel and
abusive.
3. If there are mixed infleunces, in the Lagna, judge the stronger. Strengten the benefics
since it will block the negative traits of a malefic.
4. If there are mixed infleunces in the 4th house, and Lagna has no malefic in it nor is of a
malefic sign, then a person is of good character, but is cheated by others.
Single Benefic planet in Lagna or in 4th house is sufficent to block the malefic
infleunces.
THIRD STEP
1.Check the placement of the moon in the Sign and position of Dispositor. If it is
debilitated a person has bad and negative thoughts. The same holds true if it is badly
placed or in dustana.
2. Check the planets conjoined Chandra. If they are only malefic, a person had bad
thoghts and character.
This is the simple procedure where in three steps one can judge the quality of a character.
These concepts are based on Gunas and Nitti.
There are only three satva grahas and they are: Surya, Chandra and Guru.
Surya is not the absolute truth and its truth is based on Yama, Niyama and other rules
created by the governance. For example, in some countries, women may be stoned by
people for certain acts, and the law or government approves of it. The Surya which
follows the law and sends Mangal to enforce the law can approve of this since the rule
and law must be obeyed. Can we say then that Surya infleuncing the character of a person
gives wise and good character. No..
Surya truth is only two pada, or 50 % where purity and intelligence is seen, yet a person
may approve of very bad things if the law or rule says so. The houses ruled by Surya will
be the places where person will enforce the rule. The sign where Surya is placed will
modify the attitude towards the rule. If Kumbha or other malefic sign is there for Surya, a
person may accomodate rules to suit their own appetite.
Chandra truth is only eka pada or 25 %, as it is based on the truth of society. SOme
society will allow four women, while in certain societies in history people did not have a
bath or were allowed to eat human flash. These types of truth are subject to social needs
and governance and are ruled by Chandra. Only Purnima Chandra has a value to go
beyond this rule

Guru is absolute and pure truth where Gods law is obeyed. This is the only rule and only
graha where God can show his face through (Prasna Marga), so unless this Graha has
connection with lagna, a person can hardly understand the proper and pure concept of
truth and being truthful.
Budha and Shukra follow the concept of Rajas truth, the truth of money, sex and
enjoyment. Tamas grahas follow the shady concept of truth, or rather to say untruth.
Mangal enforces his own truth by force and gun. Shanis truth is based on lies as well as
Rahus. To be continued
