This native, a businessman, was born in the Gemini navamsa
sub-division of Capricorn lagna. The rising-point of the lagna was in Sravana, a Prayer nakshatra ruled by the Moon, the lord of the 7th house from the lagna. At the time of his birth, the Moon was in Ashlesha nakshatra ruled by Mercury and in Capricorn navamsa of its own sign, Cancer. A debilitated Saturn situated in the 4th house

and occupying Cancer navamsa and Ashwini, a Sampata nakshatra
ruled by Ketu, aspected the lagna and Mercury, the lord of the 6th and the 9th house, situated in Taurus navamsa and in Sravana nakshatra.
Whereas Saturn occupied a neutral sign, Mercury occupied a friendly sign. The debilitated Saturn was placed in opposition to a retrograde Jupiter without the benefit of neechabhanga. Jupiter situated in Capricorn navamsa of Libra, the sign ruled by its bitter enemy, Venus, and in Swati, a Vadha nakshatra ruled by Rahu, was conjoined with the Sun and Venus in the 2nd house from the lagna and in the 8th from the Moon. Rahu occupied Pisces navamsa of
Aquarius, the sign ruled by its intimate friend, and Satabisha, a Vadha nakshatra that it ruled.
In this case, the Moon, ruling the 7th house and situated in the 7th, though occupying its own sign and gaining five benefic bindus in its Ashtakavarga suffered affliction on four counts. Firstly, the Moon was in the nakshatra ruled by Mercury which occupied an
evil nakshatra; secondly, an afflicted Mercury aspected by the debilitated lord of the lagna aspected the 7th house and the Moon; thirdly, the lord of the navamsa of occupation of the Moon, which lord was debilitated in the rasi-chart was in mutual exchange of navamsa with the Moon, and lastly, the Moon in a kendra from retrograde Jupiter conjoined with Jupiter in the latter’s debilitation navamsa. The Moon in Capricorn navamsa aspected by Mercury is
said to confer ruling powers provided the Moon stays strong and unafflicted and if there is at least one strong Rajayoga obtaining at the time of birth involving the lord of the lagna. The Moon in Cancer sign aspected by Mercury makes one intelligent, gentle, cultured and good-mannered. The Moon, Mars and Jupiter are malefic planets for Capricorn lagna. The influence of Jupiter on the two trikonas counted from Capricorn lagna or on the lords of those trikonas produces bad results; its association with Saturn, the lord of the lagna, can make one acquire expertise in handling delicate matters but does not confer yoga-results.
The afflicted Saturn occupying the 4th house from Capricorn lagna and aspected by an afflicted and evil Jupiter will not make this native experience domestic peace and happiness even during the course of the dasa of Venus which will operate in the last third-part of his life. Venus in vargottama-navamsa occupies a Vadha nakshatra; the Sun and Rahu joining Venus in the 2nd house also

occupy evil nakshatras. Planets conjoining with Rahu do not give good results. Here, the 2nd house suffers graver affliction than the 4th house; moreover, the lord of the 2nd house situated in its debilitation sign occupies the 4th house without the benefit of neechabhanga. The 2nd house is intimately connected with the 4th house. The 2nd house signifies Kutumba or family of a person which includes parents, spouse, children and all other relatives. A weak 2nd house does not give easy gains and does not encourage cordial relations with family members to persist for very long. Venus which is situated in the 12th house from Mars signifies wife, sex-harmony, marriage and family happiness; these matters become spoiled if Venus is afflicted by conjunction with a malefic planet or by occupying a malefic nakshatra. Venus in conjunction with a fiery planet such as the Sun or Mars or Rahu destroys wife’s affection and gives trouble through marriage even if the 7th house is formed by a benefic sign and the lord of the 7th house, here a natural benefic, both happen to be strong and favourably influenced by other benefics. The Moon situated in the 7th house generally makes one seek other women. The lord of the 7th house occupying the 7th and afflicted, does not give a happy marriage, it causes much mental agony and separation from wife, and the person spends most of his life in utter loneliness though surrounded by friends, relatives and other well-wishers. Mercury as the lord of the 6th house from the lagna afflicts the 7th house and its lord, this situation results in the development of ill-will between husband and wife, and gives more than one marriage or liaisons.
In this nativity, the 2nd house and the 7th house from the lagna have gained the least number of benefic bindus in the Ashtakavarga; both have gained only twenty-two bindus. The lord of the 7th has gained five bindus but the lord of the 2nd has gained only one bindu. The lord of the 7th situated in the 7th house did make this native marry twice but the influence of the evil dasas and evil transits wreaked havoc in his married life. If the 7th house from Venus is tenanted by a malefic planet or if malefic planets conjoin with Venus one derives no happiness from his wife. The first wife whom he had married during the dasa of Rahu deserted him in the antra-dasa of Mars in the dasa of Rahu leaving behind a daughter to take care of; Mars rules the badhaka-sthana for Capricorn lagna. The karaka of the 7th house conjoining with malefic

planets or occupying an inimical navamsa or the navamsa ruled by a combust planet gives two wives. The first marriage alliance broke up when Saturn’s Sade Sati was afflicting the 7th house; his second marriage alliance that came about during the same adverse transit eventually broke down coinciding with the commencement of the
dasa of Moon. Here, both signs that are adjacent to the 7th house are either aspected or occupied by cruel fiery planets. This native is presently experiencing the dasa of Moon which fortunately does not occupy a kendrasthana from Mars. The dasa of the planet occupying a Janma Nakshatra does not confer good results if the lord of the Janma nakshatras is not favourably inclined or if it is weak and afflicted.
According to Parasara, Jupiter ruling the 12th house from the
lagna gives the results of the 3rd house lordship, which lordship is evil. Here, Jupiter ruling the 12th and occupying a kendra from the lagna, from the Moon and from the lord of the lagna afflicts all four kendras including the 7th house. In the present case, the 7th house is the Lagna-pada and also the Dara-pada which is occupied by the Moon and aspected by Mercury. The 8th house from the Dara-pada
is occupied by two cruel planets, the Sun and Rahu, and by Venus which is afflicted by the other two planets conjoining with it in Aquarius sign. The second wife who has also left behind a daughter with this native and taken away their son is unlikely to return to her husband in the very near future.
