The Muntha
Part

1.
The Muntha & its Progression: The Muntha is an
important mathematical concept in Varshphal connecting the annual chart with
the birth chart. At the time of birth, it is located in lagna/ Ascendant. Each
year, the Muntha moves one rashi (sign) in direct motion. When the second year
of life begins, the Muntha falls in the 2nd house from lagna. At the
3rd year of life, the Muntha will be in the 3rd house
from lagna and so on. Because of its progression by one sign each year, the
Muntha is also termed as the progressed ascendant. In the analysis of an annual
chart, the Muntha is extremely important. The lord of Muntha is also very significant
while analyzing an annual chart and is one of the five contenders for the post
of lord of the year Since the Muntha progresses one sign or 30 degrees in a
year, it progresses every month by 30/ 12 = 2.5 or 2 degree 30 min. Similarly,
daily motion of the Muntha may also be calculated by dividing 2 degree 30 min
by 30 (number of days in a month), giving a value of 5 min. These values are
important if one intends to go into closer timing of events during a given
year.
2.
Calculation of the Muntha:
1.
Note the number of sign wherein the lagna falls in the birth chart. Say if
lagna is in Gemini, the number of sign is 3.
2.
Add to it the number of completed years elapsed between the birth and the
current year for which the Muntha is to be calculated.
3.
Divide the total by 12 (total numbers of signs). The remainder so obtained
would be the sign in which the Muntha is located in the annual chart.
4. If
the remainder is zero, it should be treated as 12 sign or Pisces.
Based on the above, the
Muntha in the example chart No. 21 of previous chapter would be in 3rd
house of Aries and in chart No 2, in 2nd house of Sagittarius.
3.
The Results of Muntha in different Houses
A well-placed and
well-aspected Muntha strengthens the house it is in. The Muntha gives results
according to its location in different houses, its association with different
planets, and the disposition of the lord of the sign in which the Muntha is
located. (This is some what similar to the position of dispositor in Parashari
system). The general results are based on the “Tajika Neelkanthi”, the famous treatise by Acharya Neelkanth. The
Muntha is considered very auspicious in houses 9, 10 & 11. In houses 1, 2,
3, & 5 it yields good results through personal efforts of the native. In
the remaining houses 4, 6, 7, 8, & 12 in the annual chart, it is considered
inauspicious. However experience shows that in 7th house, the Muntha
does not give bad results except illness to the native. The general results of
positioning of the Muntha in various houses are as under:
1.
Lagna: It is considered to yield very good results and
indicates dominance/ victory over opponents, dignity, favours from rulers, high
status or a new job/ source of income, increase in power, comforts & money
and good health through own efforts. It may also denote change in place,
position or residence, transfer or the birth of a child.
Chart
No. 29: PV Narsimha Rao: Born on Tuesday, 28 Jun 1921 at 1-02
PM at Warangal with Virgo Lagna; 70th annual chart for 1990-91
The Muntha is in lagna in
own house with Mercury, Lagnesh of birth & annual chart and with benefics.
The native became Prime Minister of India on 21 Jun 1991. The sudden &
unexpected event was due to mutual aspect with 8-9th lord Saturn.
However the Saturn’s aspect on Muntha and Muntha lord also gave illness in
first part of the year.
