18. Kushta Rog (Leprosy) Yoga

The Kushta is of three types, the while kushta or leprosy is considered very dreadful & loathsome, the other two types are “red Kushta” & “Dark Kushta”. The term Kushta does not necessarily mean leprosy and may, in fact, encompass a host of skin diseases. The yogas for leprosy have following variants:

i) Lagnesh joins lord of 4^th or 12^th in conjunction with Mars & Mercury.

ii) Weak Jupiter occupies 6^th with Moon & Saturn.

iii) Affliction of Moon, Mercury by Mars on the one hand and by Rahu on the other leads to white patches.

iv) Following combinations may cause white patches.

1. Lagnesh and Mercury with Rahu/ Ketu.

2. Mars & Moon with Rahu / Ketu.

3. Moon in Aries/ Taurus associated with Mars & Saturn.

v) Sun-Mars combination or position of Moon, Mars, Venus & Saturn in watery signs leads to red Kushta.

vi) Sun-Saturn combination leads to dark kushta or dark patches.

Lagnesh Jupiter is relatively weak. It is posited in 10^th house associated with 2^nd lord Mars (both in Nakshtra of 3-8^th lord Venus) and aspected by Saturn. Moon & Saturn are posited in lagna aspected by Mars and by Rahu. Mars is depositor of Rahu also. Mercury may be exalted but is badhakesh & in Nakshtra 2^nd lord Mars, associated with 8^th lord Venus and aspected by 12^th lord Saturn and Ketu. Hence during dasha of Venus-Saturn, the native noticed white spots on legs, thigh the then on face. In spite of costly treatment, the spots disappeared only for a while and then again reappeared.

19. Yoga for Lameness

The lameness could be due to variety of reasons like weakness of muscles, polio, accident related fracture or disease in lower limbs. This yoga has following variants.

i) Full Moon & Mars or Moon, Mars & Saturn are posited in 6^th house.

ii) Moon & Saturn associated with a malefic, occupy 5^th or 9^th house identical with Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces.

iii) Sun, Mars & Saturn are posited in 6^th or 6^th lord & Saturn are in 12^th house aspected by malefic.

iv) The 8^th & 9^th lords are in 4^th house under influence of malefic.

v) Moon & Saturn in Cancer without any benefic influence.

vi) 7^th lord Saturn associated with Venus and aspected by malefics.

20. Meerati Yoga

This yoga is formed when 3^rd lord is posited in a Trika house conjoined with or aspected by a malefic. Such a native is vanquished by enemies, is devoid of strength & courage, and have excited temperament and has no brothers.

21. Mook (dumb) Yoga

The 2^nd & 5^th houses are related with speech, while Mercury & Jupiter are Karaka for speech. If these houses, their lords and Karaka are afflicted, one can have speech related problems or be even a dumb person. Some of the combinations are given below:

i) 2^nd house/ lord is under heavy affliction.

ii) 2^nd lord joins 8^th house with weak Jupiter.

iii) 6^th lord with Mercury/ Jupiter is in lagna.

iv) Moon, Mercury or Jupiter as 5^th lord in 2^nd house under heavy affliction.

The native had Saturn (R) in Nakshtra of 12^th lord Mars posited in 2^nd house, hemmed between malefic & Mars & Rahu on either side. 2^nd & 5^th lord Mercury was posited in 8^th house aspected by Mars & 8^th lord Jupiter. The other Karaka of speech Jupiter was 8^th lord aspected by Mars & Saturn. Hence the native could not speak since birth.

22. Napunsak (Impotent) Yoga

Under following combinations, a native may be sexually weak to impregnate a woman or an impotent or an eunuch:

i) Saturn & Venus are in 8^th or 10^th house devoid of any benefic influence.

ii) Saturn or Mercury in a watery sign in 6^th or 12^th house aspected by a malefic only.

iii) Saturn is in a Trika house from Venus without any benefic influence.

iv) 7^th lord in Nakshtra of Mercury/ Saturn without benefic aspect.

v) Saturn & Mercury in 7^th house or in mutual aspect.

vi) Saturn in lagna aspect Mercury associate with a malefic in 7^th house.

vii) Saturn or Mercury in 7^th and 7^th lord is in debility.

viii) Lagna, Moon & Venus all in odd signs in Navamsha.

ix) Combust/ debilitated 7^th lord in 6^th/ 8^th house owned by another combust/ debilitated planet.
