General Suitability of Gems for Dhanusha Lagna

  1. Surya ratna = yes! because Surya = L-9 dharmapati

  2. Chandra ratna = no-no-no, generally, because Chandra = L-8 and does not rules any other house

  3. Mangala ratna = yes, because Mangala = L-5 and L-12

  4. Budha ratna = probably not, because Budha = L-7 and L-10 (although there are important exceptions for building career)

  5. Guru ratna = yes, almost always, because Guru = the auspicious lagnesha and L-4

  6. Shukra ratna = no-no-no, because Shukra = L-6 and L-11

  7. Shani ratna = no, because money-maker Shani = L-2 and L-3

  8. Rahu-ratna = unknown, depends on Rahu's lord

  9. Ketu-ratna = unknown, depends on Ketu's lord

There are exceptions to all of these general rules which are caused by the position of Chandra, the active Vimshottari time lords, and the native 's personal goals, inter alia.

Health for Dhanushya

L-6 = Shukra

Dhanushya lagna is more likely to have relationship and sensuality-based health problems.

  • The physical manifestations can range from nervous disorders to muscle malfunctions to formation of tumors, and many other disease results.

  • Sexually transmitted diseases.

  • However the origin of Dhanushya's ailment is usually explicitly social-relational, and often traceable to sensual indulgence (Shukra) or relationship imbalance with the spouse.

  • Both genders have karmic trouble in their relationships with women. Males have a tendency to exploit (6) the female partner.

If L-6+L-11 Shukra is also in the Dhanushya radix lagna or Vrishabha-Shukra in 6:

  • Male Dhanushya native with Shukra in lagna is often a much-married individual. [radio-TV interviewer Larry King =8 marriages]

  • the native 's life is fraught with marriage conflict. There can be deep animosity toward women yet a sweet love of them at the same time. It is perplexing.

  • Attraction to prostitutes, beautiful servants, animals, or women with debt problems.

  • Marital arguments about money and debt, no matter if the couple is wealthy or poor. the native may be oddly stingy with the spouse whilst showing sweet nicety toward others.

  • The social-relationship (esp marriage) frustration inherent in this configuration may become unbearable, which can drive the native to take urgent steps toward self-healing.

  • Remedy = Seva offered to

Special Yogas for Dhanusha Lagna:

  • 31. Sreenatha Yoga

  • [uchcha Budha + L-9 in karma bhava for Dhanusha lagna only]

B.V. Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations(10th ed., Delhi, 1991).:


"Definition:

If the exalted lord of the 7th occupies the 10th

AND the lord of the I0th is with the 9th lord,

  • Sreenatha Yoga is caused.

  • Results: the native will have on his body the insignia of Vishnu, viz., the conch, the wheel, etc., be an agreeable speaker, godly, have a good wife and children and be loved by all.

  • Remarks: Sreenatha Yoga may be said to be one of the important Raja Yoga, inasmuch as a point of contact is established between the 7th, 9th and 10th houses.

It is held to give rise to power as well as wealth. The lord of the 7th should be invariably exalted in the 10th, the lord of which, in turn, must be with the 9th lord.

Obviously Sreenatha Yoga can occur only in respect of Sagittarius in which case Mercury, lord of the 7th, could remain exalted in the 10th.

  • For no other Lagna can the 7th lord remain exalted in the 10th.

Since the original writers have laid emphasis on the fact that the 7th lord should be in the 10th exalted, we have to conclude that the Yoga is a rare one and that it cannot arise with regard to any other sign of the zodiac than Sagittarius ..."

Marriage challenges

Dhanushya in lagna or Chandra lagna faces a special set of marriage challenges.

  • kalatrakaraka Shukra+ L-7 Budha = both enemies of lagnesha Guru.

Shukra

  • the partnership suffers from addictions or other impoverishing behavior of excessive sweet as well as argumentative and jealous

  • however the partner is also materially gainful and has a large social network of females and those earning in the market for luxury products

  • the partner is often involved in impoverishing (6) financial (Shukra) activities such as loan-taking (credit cards or inflated-interest mortgages for example). Also the partner may have addictions (Shukra + 6) and sugar-related health problems.

  • and the partner may (seem to) invest a good deal of value (Shukra) in forming social network relationship focused on earnings such as "network marketing" and other methods which involve a predominance of beauty items and women.

  • It depends upon Shukra's character placement whether the earnings from 11 outweigh the expenses of 6. As a rule there is considerable "motion without progress" when Shukra = both L-6 and L-11, as gains are quickly spent for medicines or luxuries (Shukra) and the earnings cycle starts from zero again.

  • L-6 Shukra's problematic argumentiveness = reinforced by Guru's negative relationship to natural L-6 Budha (below).

Guru-Budha animosity = contempt or patronizing attitudes in marriage

  • Lagnesha (self) Guru tends to look down on Budha as a minor player, adolescent in behavior, restricted in view due to immaturity and excessive mentalization, not capable of wisdom-knowledge. Budha is seen by Guru as impressionable, short-attention-span, calculating but not comprehending, overly sexualized, frivolously chatty, and often quite annoying.

  • This dynamic can play out in marriage when the Guru-ruled native bonds with a Budha-ized spouse whose philosophical scope of awareness is rather limited and busy with superficial details (Budha).

  • The spouse characteristically has more interest in repetitive and commercial communications, which may annoy the broad-thinking, religiously comprehensive Guru identified Dhanushya native.

Shani L-2 from Dhanushya = lagna for Second marriage = Makara

  • Shani = mutually neutral toward Guru

  • the second marriage partner is noticeably more pragmatic and mature

    • e.g., Ronald Reagan's second wife Nancy Reagan was known for her steady, orderly, pragmatic support for his government career

    • "Teddy" Kennedy 's second wife similarly brought a much higher level of lawful order and social respect into his life, which was much appreciated by his constituents (and indeed the nation as a whole)

    • Jack Welch's second wife was so lawful that she was indeed a top-ranked mergers and acquisitions lawyer and his very strong L-2 Shani occupies bhava-3 (which says that the native s money moves into the second wife's bank account). However, very adult and very lawful indeed she was.

  • second marriage tends to be easier, albeit the overall signification of Shukra as karaka for partnership remains somewhat problematic regarding illness, disagreement, or addiction of the partner (6) and luxury orientation in the marketplace (11)
