Tag-to-Adawal: Some Important Yogas and Their Application-II Part 1

Dr. Shanker Adawal

Part 1

Mr. W. E. Cladstone was borne in Sagittarius with Sun and Mercury in the birth-degree, and Jupiter in 4^th in his own house and in 7^th from Mon in 10^th, Mars, lord of 5 (and 12^th) being in exaltation. Every student of English History knows he was one of the famous Premiers of England. Mark Sun and Mercury together in close conjunction in Lagna, with the lord of the Ascendant strong in 4^th and in his own house, with Hamsa Yoga and also Kesari Yoga, as Jupiter is in 180 degree the Moon. Mercury in combustion is not evil but good.

See meaning, if Mercury is in his own house closely combust by the Sun, the native is a learned king; this rule does not apply to other planets. So, even for Kanya (Virgo) Lagna or Mithuna (Gemini) Lagna, for which Sun is lord of 12^th or of 3, if Mercury is combust but in his own house, it is good. For Dhanur (Sagittarius) Lagna, Sun and Mercury are the lords of 9^th and 10^th. So, Mercury’s combustion does not matter. In fact, close and exact conjunction heightens the Raja Yoga, due to the combination of the lords of 9 and 10. But, I have seen Sun and Mercury in 5^th, with Venus (lord of 6^th and 11^th) and Moon (lord of 8^th), for Dhanur Lagna being a failure in life, born to inherit considerable properties but eliminating them and becoming poor. That shows lord of 6 or 8 mars the Raja Yoga caused by 9^th and 10^th lords. Some say, that Parasara has stated that the Sun and Moon do not have evil of ownership of 8^th, and so, Moon is not bad for Dhanur Lagna. She may be passable, when with, or in opposition to Jupiter or Guru. But, to say Moon is not bad, as lord of 8, is not quite correct. In fact, the author of the Uttarakalamrita has clarified the matter by saying, Sun or Moon as lord of 8^th is not a maraka-planet, though giving troubles. To my mind, it is clear from experience that Sun for Makara (Capricorn) Lagna is not god as lord of 8^th, as Sun and the ascendant-lord are bitter enemies of each other. However, when Sun is in Lagna, and Saturn is in 8^th, for Capricorn I have found that Sun does not spoil and his Dasa is good.

I have seen a Kanya (Virgo) Lagna chart with Mars in 8^th aspecting Mercury and Venus, in 11^th, with, however, Moon, the lord of that 11^th house weak. The native misappropriated his client’s money as a lawyer but managed to escape proceedings under the Legal Practitioner’s Act, as his whereabouts could not be known. Mark Mars, the worst lord of 3 and 8 aspecting the 9^th and 10^th lords, Mars, lord of 3 and 8, is best in 3 and may be in 8; but his aspect is rather baneful.

On the other hand, I give below the chart (No. 1) of an eminent I. C. S., who rose to be an Executive Councillor and even an Acting Governor of Bombay, I think, in the last days of British Rule.

I do not remember the exact positions of Saturn, Rahu and Kethu. But, I remember well, they do not mar or eclipse the Yogakarakas. The native was a fearless and independent Indian I. C. S., of ability, scholarship and integrity. Please mark the key planets, Mercury and Venus, the lords of 1^st and 10^th, and of 2^nd and 9^th in 11^th and Moon, the lord of 11^th exalted in 9^th and aspected by Jupiter. Evil Mars, lord of 3^rd and 8^th, is relegated to 12^th, a safe place to corner him. Jupiter cause Vasumathi Yoga and explain is being born in a rich family.
