This native was born when the rising-point of the lagna in Capricorn sign aspected by Mars was in Aries navamsa and in Sravana, a Kshema nakshatra ruled by the Moon. At the moment
of his birth the Vargottama Moon, as the lord of the 7th house, was

transiting the first pada of Ashwini nakshatra ruled by Ketu; it was in conjunction with the exalted Sun, the lord of the 8th, occupying the same nakshatra but in Gemini navamsa. The tithi at birth was Krishna Amavasya. Excepting Jupiter and Venus, which were
in Moon’s Hora, the rest seven were in Sun’s Hora. All cruel and malefic planets situated in the Surya-Hora give happiness, wealth and good health and mind. According to Parashara birth in Aries navamsa makes the person a thief.
Parashara tells us that the lords of the lagna, the 5th house and the 9th house from the lagna are temporal benefics, and the lords of the 3rd house, the 6th house and the 11th house from the lagna are temporal friends. Planets situated in their own sign, in their sign of exaltation or in friendly sign or in their own navamsa but aspected by benefics are deemed vested with required strength;
the Moon and Venus in even signs and the rest in odd signs are
strong. Therefore, for Capricorn lagna Saturn, Mercury and Venus are functional benefics, and Jupiter and Mars are functional malefics. In the present case, Saturn is situated in the 6th house in the sign ruled by its intimate friend but in an inimical navamsa.
Mercury, which also rules the 6th house, is in its sign of debilitation without the benefit of neechabhanga but in a friendly navamsa and a benefic nakshatra that it rules. Venus is in a neutral sign, in an inimical navamsa, in an evil Vadha nakshatra ruled by Jupiter and in conjunction with inimical Jupiter. The Vargottama Jupiter is in its inimical sign and inimical navamsa but in a favourable nakshatra ruled by Mercury which is neither a friend nor a foe of Jupiter. The lord of the lagna is in conjunction with its bitter enemy, Mars, and aspects a combust Mercury. An inimical Mars casts its unfavourable aspect on the 9th house and on the lagna-kendra.
Birth in the fourth navamsa of a sign makes one who serves
supported by influential and powerful persons and is rich and religious, and those born in Ashwini nakshatra are gentle, truthful, possessed of wealth and comforts, and contented. Neither Saturn nor Mars occupying Gemini sign aspected by Jupiter confer bad results, the former gives the support of those occupying high offices wielding power and authority; the latter, makes one progress in life and grants an important social standing. Their conjunction occurring in the 6th house aspected by Jupiter creates obstacles and also destroys them. The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus occurring

in the 2nd house from Capricorn lagna confers a good source of earning and wealth particularly when aspected by Saturn and more so as the lord of the lagna, but the earnings will not be easily gained because here, the dispositor of Saturn, a combust Mercury is aspecting its own 9th house.
Jatakabharanam states that the person born in Krishnapaksha,
though weak and restless but industrious, adopts the path which is different to the one followed by his family, and that the one born on Amavasya tithi possesses a calm temperament, is devoted to his parents, desirous of possessing wealth acquires wealth but not without struggle and strife, and is respected in his own circle, and Mansagari tells us that the person will be lazy, envious, short-tempered, unintelligent, brave and well-informed. Amavasya-births are not unfortunate births because the Moon in the close proximity of the Sun does not become combust; it only loses its brightness which is rapidly regained. Sarvartha Chintamani states that the dasa of the Moon devoid of brightness gives bad results only if the Moon has not gained Uttamakalas. Janardan Harji reminds us that benefic planets are strong in Shuklapaksha, and malefic planets are strong in Krishnapaksha. Jataka Parijata tells us that the person born on Amavasya is ever hopeful. Pakshabala is merely a source of strength. Saravali states that the Moon is Alpabali i.e. not strong, from the Krishnapaksha Shasti tithi up to Amavasya tithi which is the 15th tithi.
Birth on Amavasya tithi means, that then the Moon in
conjunction with the Sun in the latter’s very close proximity is not bright; the Ksheena-Chandra is classed as a malefic. In this case, both, the Sun and the Moon are each other’s temporal foes. The
Moon is not a functional benefic for Capricorn lagna for which lagna the Sun, though not classed as a maraka, is capable of wreaking havoc. The conjunction of the lords of the 8th and the 7th house generally spoils the indications of the bhava occupied and aspected by them. The 4th house also signifies education. This conjunction did not allow this native to complete his education. But, here, the Moon is ucchabhilashi and occupies a friendly sign, and the lord of the sign occupied by the exalted Sun conjoining with the Moon is the lord of the Chandra-lagna and the Surya-lagna, and is in conjunction with the lord of the 10th and the 11th from those lagnas and aspecting its exaltation sign forming the 4th house from the

lagna and the 10th house from the Moon, which is a favourable yoga conferring all good things in life. Moreover, the Sun and the Moon occupy a benefic Sadhaka nakshatra ruled by Ketu which nakshatra is not spoiled by planets ruling or occupying evil nakshatras. And, Ketu is situated in the 5th house from the lagna in the sign ruled by its intimate friend.
This native was born in a wealthy family engaged in the manufacturing of motor-parts; at the time of his birth the dasa of Ketu had just commenced. In the succeeding dasa of Venus occupying an inimical sign and an unfavourable Vadha nakshatra he did not pursue higher studies after completing his school-studies. In the antra-dasa of Jupiter in the dasa of Venus he joined his father’s business, and later got married. In the dasa of the exalted Sun which aspects the 10th house he started and established his own business, earned well and bought his own house. He is presently under the influence of the dasa of Moon which also aspects the 10th house from the lagna. Here, the Moon is in yoga with the exalted lord of the 5th house from the Chandra-lagna as the lord of the 4th house counted from that lagna for which lagna the Moon is a functional benefic and the Sun is a yoga-karaka. This conjunction does not cause a Rajayoga. But the Moon is strong in Digbala; it has given this native good earning and many material comforts, conveyances etc.
The Moon and the Sun are also strong in shadbala and therefore, the Anapha yoga and the Vashi yoga caused by Mercury have benefited this native. The conjunction of the Moon with the Sun makes one adept in handling machines. The Vargottama Moon and
the Vargottama Jupiter generally give favourable results.
The conjunction of the Sun and the Moon dominates the kendras
counted from the lagna and the Chandra-lagna. This conjunction is not considered auspicious if no natural benefic occupies a kendra or aspects this conjunction. But, here the exalted Sun is also exalted in the drekkena and in a friendly navamsa, and the Moon occupying a friendly sign, Aries, is also in Aries drekkena and Aries navamsa.
Therefore, these two planets having turned into yoga-karakas are aspecting the all important 10th house which is a friendly sign for both and confer yoga-results.
The 7th house from the lagna and the 7th house from the Moon
are not occupied by any planet. The 7th house from the navamsa-

lagna occupied by the Moon and Venus is Libra which is a benefic navamsa. This native married a beautiful and a highly educated girl who is devoted to him and the family. Mansagari tells us that Taurus sign falling on the 5th house gives one a beautiful attractive fortunate daughter who remains faithful to her husband but will be childless. This native is blessed with two daughters but with no son.
Ketu situated in the 5th house does not give many sons but in this nativity, the 5th house counted from the sign occupied by Jupiter is occupied by two cruel planets, and the lord of the 5th house counted from the lagna occupies the 7th navamsa of its sign of occupation, which placements do not bless a person with the birth of a son.
