3. Selection of the
Lord of the Year
One of the five office
bearers is selected as Lord of the year or Varshesh,
provided it fulfils the following qualifications:
1. It
should be the strongest among the five office bearers. The strength is
ascertained as per their Panch-Vargiya
Bala.
2. It
should, at the same time, aspect the Varsha-
lagna. The aspects are normally Tajika aspects. It is immaterial whether
aspects are friendly or inimical. Alternately, lord of the year should not be
in 2/12 or 6/8 position from lagna.
3. If
the strongest office bearer does not aspect the lagna, chose the next strongest
one from the remaining candidates.
4.
When more than one office bearer aspect the lagna, the strongest of them
becomes the lord of the year.
5.
When two office bearers have equal strength and all of them aspect lagna, one
holding greater number of portfolio, becomes the lord of the year. However this
contingency would not arise, once we take decimal figures of strength into
consideration.
In chart No. 22, the five
portfolios are held by Sun, Mars & Jupiter (refer Para 2 above). Out of
these Jupiter is the strongest with Panch-Vargiya
Bala of 14.766; but is located in 2nd house, hence has no aspect
with lagna. Therefore his claim for the lord of the year is not acceptable. Of
the remaining two, Sun & Mars, both aspect lagna, but Sun is stronger in Panch-Vargiya Bala (14.337). Hence the
Sun becomes the year lord or Varshesh
for the year.
6.
Muntha lord as the lord of the year
1.
If
no office bearer aspect the lagna, Muntha lord becomes the lord of the year.
2.
The Muntha lord also becomes lord of the year, when the strength of all office
bearers is less than 5 units in Panch-Vargiya
Bala.
Miscellaneous
views: Some of the Tajika authorities are of the opinion that
if none of the office bearers has adequate strength and not aspect lagna Din-Ratri Pati should be declared as
lord of the year. Some others are of the opinion that in such contingency, lord
of lagna in the annual chart be declared as lord of the year.
7.
Moon as the Lord of the Year
Normally Moon is not
selected as the lord of the year as it is considered very soft and not fit to
govern. Even if Moon is the strongest of the candidates and also aspects lagna,
its claim as lord of the year is normally ignored and the next strongest
candidate aspecting lagna is chosen as the lord of the year. If no other office
bearer aspect lagna, then in that case:
1.
The planet establishing closest Ithasala yoga is chosen as year lord. Some
authorities do not look for an office bearer falling next lower in strength to
the Moon. They advocate to install the planet in Ithasala with Moon as the year
lord in the first place itself.
2. If
Moon does not form Ithasala yoga with any planet aspecting lagna, The Moon sign
lord is chosen as the lord of the year.
However Moon can be selected as the year lord in
special circumstances if:
1. In
the annual chart, Cancer is rising in the lagna with Moon in the lagna and the
strongest of the office bearers.
2. Varsh-Pravesh occurs at night with Moon
as Tri-Rashi Pati, is the strongest
in Panch-Vargiya bala, and also
aspects lagna.
In the above annual chart, The Moon is the lord of the year; because the Moon is the strongest office bearer with a strength of 13.62. The Varsh-Pravesh is of night and the Moon is Tri-Rashi Pati for Taurus lagna. Moreover Moon aspect lagna from the 10th house.
