General Suitability
of Gems for Dhanusha Lagna
|
-
Surya ratna =
yes! because Surya = L-9 dharmapati -
Chandra ratna =
no-no-no, generally, because Chandra = L-8 and does
not rules any other house
-
Mangala ratna
= yes, because Mangala = L-5 and L-12
-
Budha ratna =
probably not, because Budha = L-7 and L-10 (although there are
important exceptions for building career) -
Guru ratna =
yes, almost always, because Guru = the auspicious lagnesha and L-4 -
Shukra ratna =
no-no-no, because Shukra = L-6 and L-11 -
Shani ratna =
no, because money-maker Shani =
L-2 and L-3
-
Rahu-ratna = unknown, depends on Rahu's lord -
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.

Special Yogas for Dhanusha Lagna:
|
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.
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.
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)

-
When represented in numbers the name is equivalent to
9, and the division in question is the 9th division counting from
Mesha.
-
he sign, therefore, clearly indicates the 9 Brahmas
-- the 9 Parajapatis who assisted the Demiurgus in constructing the
material universe."
