Swati, a Kshema nakshatra ruled by Rahu. The lord of the lagna, Venus, was in its sign of debilitation but in its exaltation navamsa in Uttara Phalguni, a Janma nakshatra ruled by the Sun. Venus was in conjunction with the Moon, the lord of the 10th house, and with Mars, the lord of the 2nd house and the 7th; the Moon in Capricorn navamsa was in Uttara Phalguni and Mars was in Virgo navamsa in its own Chitra nakshatra, a Vipata nakshatra. Mercury, here more the lord of the 12th than of the 9th, was in its own Virgo navamsa sub-division of Scorpio sign in the 2nd house from the lagna and in Anuradha, a Sadhaka nakshatra ruled by Saturn. Jupiter was in the 3rd house in its own sign and exaltation navamsa in Moola, a Mitra nakshatra ruled by Ketu. Jupiter was in conjunction with Rahu occupying Scorpio and Poorva Ashada, a Param-mitra nakshatra ruled by Venus. Saturn was in Taurus sign, Leo navamsa and in Mrigsira, a Vipata nakshatra ruled by Mars. Ketu occupying the 9th house from the lagna was in an inimical sign but in Taurus navamsa and Poorva Ashada, a Param-mitra nakshatra ruled by its intimate friend, Venus. Kalidasa states that the Sun, Mars and Jupiter are inauspicious planets for Libra lagna, Mercury and Saturn are auspicious planets, Mercury and the Moon in mutual association
give rise to Rajayoga, Mars is the principal maraka but the Sun and Jupiter are not the marakas for this lagna.
The lord of the lagna situated in its sign of debilitation and particularly in conjunction with a maraka, the lagna occupied by a papa-graha situated in its sign of debilitation, the 9th house afflicted by malefics, the lord of the 9th occupying a marakasthana hemmed between functional malefics in the 6th house from the 9th, the lord of the 10th house relegated to the 12th and conjoining with a maraka and the afflicted lord of the lagna, the yoga-karaka and the Rajayoga-karaka retrograde in the 8th house aspected by the afflicted lord of the 9th, the lagna hemmed between the lords of the 12th and
the 2nd involved in mutual exchange of signs, there being no planet occupying the kendras other than the debilitated Sun in the lagna and no benefic planet aspecting the kendras or the trikonas, is the apt prescription for experiencing poverty and bad luck. Vaidyanatha reminds us that the bhava whose lord is relegated to the 8th house or is combust or in its inimical sign or debilitation sign devoid of benefic associations suffers, in this case, the 11th house which is the house of gains has become defective the aspect of Jupiter

notwithstanding. Mantreswara tells us that the planet occupying such a defective bhava fails to confer its assigned good results.
Planets are greatly influenced by the strength and weakness of the bhava occupied and the bhava-lord. Vaidyanatha clarifies that the mere occupation of a bhava by a planet does not confer strength to that bhava. This native born in a well-to-do educated family is not educated, and has yet to find a steady source of income. Though now married and blessed with a son he is still struggling to establish himself.
The Sun situated in its sign of debilitation does not favour father. This native was born under the influence of the dasa of the Sun and did not prove lucky for his father. The subsequent dasa of weak and afflicted lord of the 10th house did not permit him to study and build the required foundation for a suitable career. The lord of the 5th afflicted in the 8th house having its dispositor afflicted and relegated to the 12th house does not make a person intelligent and fortunate. The dasa of Mars, a maraka, led him astray to the chagrin of his worried parents, and the dasa of Rahu made him wander in search of earning a regular livelihood and fail in his attempts.
This native is presently under the influence of the dasa of Jupiter afflicted by Rahu. Here, Jupiter is an intimate friend of the Moon, though it is situated in the 3rd from the lagna it is in the 4th house from the Moon, and not as a functional benefic; it does not cause an effective yoga with the Moon which is also afflicted.
Jataka Parijata reminds us that the dasas of planets which are not on friendly terms with the lord of the lagna make one earn the hostility of many persons and destroy wealth. Here at, according to Panchadha Maitri, Venus considers Jupiter to be its friend but the latter considers the former to be neutral, and Jupiter in addition to being the papa-graha for Libra lagna also rules the set of three Pratyari nakshatras which are unfavourable nakshatras. But, Jupiter occupied a Sadhaka nakshatra at the time of birth and had gained four benefic bindus in its Ashtakavarga, and because it is in a prashtodaya rasi this native will find the second half of Jupiter’s dasa fruitful despite Jupiter’s association with Rahu and the lord of the badhakasthana occupying the lagna in its sign of debilitation without the benefit of neechabhanga. No planet occupies a kendrasthana from the lord of the badhakasthana. Planets that are situated in the badhakasthana or conjoining with the badhaka or in

a kendra from the badhakasthana or its lord, give much grief and pain.
In the present case, the lord of the 8th house situated in the
12th house is in conjunction with an inimical malefic, Mars, and with the Moon, its bitter enemy, which situation according to Mahadeva makes one suffer humiliation and disgrace because of being poor.
The lord of the navamsa occupied by the lord of the 2nd house conjoining with the lord of the 2nd house in the 6th house from the navamsa-lagna makes one poor and poverty-stricken. The Sun
situated in a kendra in its sign of debilitation as a papa-graha and a badhaka gives the same results. The lord of the 4th occupying the 8th house from the lagna in an inimical navamsa and an evil nakshatra makes one devoid of happiness throughout life. Jupiter occupying its moolatrikona-rasi is in Aries drekkena ruled by its intimate friend and is also in its friendly exaltation navamsa but it does not aspect the lagna or the lord of the lagna or the 4th house or the karaka of the 4th house. Wealth and happiness are not in the destiny of this native.
