1st-from-11th
(body parts)
- blood circulation
- left ear
- calves
- Ankles,
subtle electrical networks within the body, e.g. nadi & chi/prana circuitry:
- blood circulation
- human nerve network
- skin
The medical skills which manipulate these networks, e.g. acupuncture & ayurvedic massage
2nd-from-10th
accumulation of wealth from high position
Death of professional focus, death of prestigious position, and development of values of social leadership on a more egalitarian basis.
As the native circulates in the marketplace of commodities and ideas, he loses his authoritative position and becomes a peer.
His professional supremacy is shared now by others of similar background and accomplishment, who are organized into mutual benefit associations which share the leadership burden thus relieving the native of a heavy workload but also relieving his ego of pride of place.
Money earned through profession and public service, and also gains from people in power.
The profession house does not need to be dignified for the income house to be strong.
Note there are plenty of notorious criminal professions which pay extremely well, in addition to politicians and captains of industry who are richly rewarded for criminal activities disguised as work in the public interest. The robber barons and rentier class of USA's early 20th century stand as classic examples of great wealth acquired despite notable ethical error. History yields abundant examples of the curious fact that great profit may be earned entirely in the absence of either public respect or moral principle.
If both karmaa bhava and labha bhava are dignified, high levels of wealth and prestige are to be expected regardless of ethical quality. However a good 10th house tends to strengthen authentic leadership; that is, however misguided their decisions, the native owning a strong house-10 normally has a parental instinct to lead and protect the people.
3rd-from-9th
Faith Community or "Brothers in Religion"
As 3rd-from-9th, labha bhava shows the communicants of your belief system. Unlike your birth siblings, these folks are your close friends and associates because you chose each other consciously based on affinity of faith and ritual.
Labha bhava is the house of income, gains, and the marketplace. We always do the best business with those we trust. As the US Dollar bill testifies, the power of the free market can be summed up in one phrase: "In God We Trust".
The better your labha bhava, the more trustworthy and high-quality are your friends, and the more elevated the belief system that brings you together. Also, concurrently, the better your income and the stronger your faith community.
Note religious faith itself is a function of the 9th house, dharma bhava. If the 9th is strong while 11th is weak, the person can have wonderful faith but limited peer support for living faithfully. Conversely, a weak 9th with strong 11th may show weak personal faith compensated by a strong, nurturing community.
A crippled labha bhava may indicate the person has very few genuinely trustworthy peers. This native expects to go it alone and they do. Negative but empowered planets in 11 show associates of low moral quality.
Several inferior planets in 11 give profit by evil means and an abundance of bad company. Mafiosi; prostitution, weapons, drug & thievery gangs; protection rackets; mercenary militia, other bands of miscreants, is indicated by strong but bad planets in labhasthana.
Genuine criminals will have a damaged Sun (karaka of personal ethics) and damaged Shani (natural lord of 11, networks) plus damage to L-11 and an empowered house-6.
House-6 = thieves; house-11 = thieves-of-thieves, i.e., networks of thieves who extract profit from the labor of others.
Communicating about matters of religion, social ethics, best ways to deal with people who are different than us, how to negotiate with spirits, matters of the priesthood including maintenance of temples, fundraising, funding for rituals; also the self-made-wealth of religion is invested in the marketplace
4th-from-8th
the specialized education in religion which is undertaken by or offered to members of the religious fellowship is indicated by labhasthana's angle in 4th-from-8th.
Shelter for mystics, healers, therapists, and tantriks of all species is also provided by the sangha.
The divorced, represented by the weird house-8, are often condemned by external society but sheltered by their friends (11).
Legacies and windfalls, matters of (8), are secured in the marketplace (11).
5th-from-7th
Extramarital affairs, Romance supplemental to Marriage
Romance (5) in addition to or following upon marriage (7) i.e. extramarital love affairs.
As 5th-from-7th, shows the romantic, loving, self-expressive, poetic, child-friendly, creative energies of the first marriage.
Depending on condition of labha bhava and yuvati bhava, spouse's romantic affairs may be indicated in labha bhava.
Extramarital affairs would occur only if yuvati bhava showed weakness or excess, and if unsettling conditions applied in labha bhava.
One's own non-marital romantic affairs, if any, are seen through one's putra bhava, the fifth rashi house.
If you have cause to wonder whether the first spouse is enjoying an extramarital affair, check 11th house, 11th lord, 11th navamsha, dasha-bhukti, and transits to labha bhava.
As 5th-from-7th, labha bhava also signifies the first spouse's children from previous marriage - especially the first spouse's oldest child.
For Vrischikha lagna, L-8/L-11 Budha is an especially strong indictor of extramarital affairs. Lord of randhra bhava is usually responsible for termination of the first marriage whether through death of the spouse or simply saturation/ death of the marriage i.e., divorce.
Simultaneously during a bhukti of of youthful, mentalized Budha, the Vrischikha native may experience the breakdown of fossilized marriage & the possible development of extramarital affair - but of course this is only likely if Budha's condition warrants such behavior.
Similarly for Vrishabha lagna, permissive, entitled L8-L11Guru performs the same role.Guru likes to have it all!
6th-from-6th
Debts (6) of one's enemies (6) reside in the 11th house of profits - naturally! What is bad for one's enemies is nearly always good for the native..
Similarly illness (6) and animosity (6) which befall one's enemies are reckoned from house-11.
To determine the outcome of warfare against one's genuine enemies, consult house-11.
A strong labha bhava nearly always provides win over enemies. Although enemies may prevail during periods of L-6, they will be defeated by enemies of the enemies during the period of L-11, if L-11 is stronger than L-6.
7th-from-5th
As 3rd-from-3rd-from-3rd-from-5th, Labha sthana = fourth child.
Bhukti of L-11 from lagna or L-11 from Moon, may bring a fourth child into your life if Guru, L-11, and labhasthana itself are strong.
As 7th-from-5th, Labha bhava represents the general condition of all children's spouses, but particularly the spouse of the first child.
Bhukti of L-11 will frequently make spouse of oldest child a major player in your life.
8th-from-4th
strong profile of mother's death circumstances = 8th-from-Chandra
Circumstances of Death of mother (not the timing):
8th from any house indicates end-of-cycle for matters of that house, or the circumstances which provide the setting for ending a relationship, project, or event.
E.g., timing of death of the first spouse is indicated via 2nd-from-7th, but 8th-from-7th or dhana bhava indicates circumstances of expiration of first marriage by showing the second marriage.
Similarly, 2nd-from-9th shows timing of death of father, whereas 8th-from-9th or bandhu bhava shows circumstances of death of the father.
Timing of mother's death is seen in putra bhava, 2nd-from-4th.
However as 8th-from-4th, labha bhava indicates circumstances of the death of the mother, which often includes the scheduled entry of a stepmother.
If labha bhava is in good condition, mother will enjoy a peaceful death in good company, and a smooth transition to the astral plane.
If there is to be a stepmother, that stepmother and her effect on the child is also profiled in labha bhava.
9th-from-3rd
Friendship, fellowship
good fortune develops from your small-group process, including meetings, administration of projects, sibling interactions, and regulation of your mental habits.
11th house is the immediate elder sibling, who acts like a 'father' (9) to the younger siblings (3).
'Siblings' include all children in neighborhood/extended family and, as adults, sibling groups include our corporate workmates and teammate peers.
the blessings of 11th house marketplace profits are based in the small-group associations of house-3
10th-from-2nd
11th house gains are the result of leadership in the marketplace
profits through good association is the development of values (2) through public service (10)
11th-from-lagna
computer & electronic device networks,
communication media networks
Marketplace Associations, which connect people of various interest groups under a code of shared units of exchange.
The "currency" or current unit of exchange will vary from society to society, but whatever values a society chooses, the participants in the network must agree to the current currency :)
12th-from-12th
Vimshottari period of L-11 shows timing of loss of sanctuary
includes leaving one's monastery, being released from prison or concentration camp, and discharge from hospital.
Gains & Income
The foremost signification of labha bhava is the marketplace, with all the gains of association which come through interconnections of people with similar interests.
Labha bhava is responsible for all forms of gains and income. Method of income may be salary, commission, rents, royalties, or any other gainful means.
Domain-2 "stored wealth" vs. domain-11 "income stream"
Domain-11 = sources of wealth or "revenue streams"; earnings; money coming in.
Domain-2 = capital, or cattle. Skandha. Static, hoarded, or banked savings. Food reserves. Money or values historically preserved by one's family of origin. Includes wealth stored in traditions of art, music, theatre, and craft.
Along with the relationship with domains 5, 9, and 1 (which determine past-life credit), the relationship between domain-11 and domain-2 (sources & resources) determines the total wealth situation.
Hopes, Dreams, Wishes, Desires, Attainments
Labha bhava is all about PERMISSION, the right to enter, right to communicate, right to circulate, right to gain information. It is the house of ambitions and aspiration, manifestation and achievement. The seed energy of all manifestation is the wish, hope, desire, or dream that gets it all started.
Good planets in labha bhava show the type and quality of permission in the person's life. When karmic permission levels are high, the person will experience satisfaction of their needs, and gaining of pleasure.
- Uccha Budha in labha gives unlimited permission to gain important information, and a network of mentally gifted friends to serve it up!
- Exalted Shani in 11th makes a tremendously hard worker with a desire to improve his material circumstances. Through supreme effort, he enjoys supreme gains.
- Rahu in almost any sign triples the desire effect, usually bringing tremendous wealth in his period.
- Crippled planets in Labha show the person lacks permission even to wish for better things. Without the desire, nothing will happen.
- Cramped conditions in labha give poor circulation in the physical body and also in the marketplace, resulting in limited flow of resources, especially information.
Elder siblings, Experienced Mentors, Predecessors
Domain-11 = one's Immediate elder Sibling and father's younger brother, as well as "those who have gone before" who are just slightly ahead of one on life's path.
Guru and professors who speak as more distant moral authorities giving philosophical wisdom belong to dharma bhava. Financial and social advisors giving elder-sibling type of advice are found in domain-11.
As 3rd-from-9th, elder siblings (at least in traditional societies) are seen by their younger brothers and sisters as being "brothers to the father" or more senior in social status. Father's other "brothers" such as father's colleagues traditionally take a mentoring or advising role.
If L-11 is strong and well-placed, the immediate elder sibling will be a very helpful person in one's life, particularly in matters of gain in the marketplace. However if L-11 is uccha or otherwise exceptionally strong, the native is often himself the eldest. He will have well-placed friends, and gain substantially from the matters signified by that exalted graha. E.g.,
- uccha Surya gains through leadership, politics & theatre
- uccha Chandra gains through
- uccha Kuja gains through commercial competition;
- uccha Budha gains through speech & writing;
- uccha Guru gains through housing & real estate;
- uccha Shukra gains through music & fine arts
- uccha Shani gains through diplomacy & conservative values;
The native can become independently wealthy if both houses (3) and (11) are powerful.
Friends, Friendliness, Networks human and technological
Naturally the marketplace is a gathering arena for friends. Labha bhava/Aquarius rules acquaintances, social gatherings, agreements between friends, community activities, development work, and networks of all kinds (including electro-magnetic device networks like computer, telephone, internet, etc.)
[from "300 Important Combinations". #59. Vidyut Yoga]
Definition -When the 11th lord is in deep exaltation and joins Venus in a Kendra from the lord of the lagna, Vidyut Yoga is caused. Results: Charitable, pleasure-loving, a treasurer or controller of wealth and a great king or an equal to him Remarks: Depending upon the exact strength of the two lords causing the yoga, the person either be a king or equal to him. He will control wealth and he will be a man of generous instincts. Here Venus, the 11th lord and lord of lagna are required to be disposed in a particular manner. Venus is the planet of pleasure and comforts, whereas the lord of the 11th indicates gains. Naturally when the Lagna is strong and the house of gains and lord of comforts and luxuries is equally strong one is bound to be well off in life
As our understanding and faith in the Dharma grows, we develop an appreciation for the Sangha, the individuals, both past and present, who have attained such states of freedom from suffering.
We can then conceive of the possibility of a being who has attained total freedom from the negative aspects of mind: a Buddha.
And as our recognition of the miserable nature of life develops, so does our appreciation of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha- the Three Jewels in which we seek shelter.
This intensifies our quest for their protection.
