Tanu Bhava - House 1 |
L-12 in maraka
2nd-from his own house creates a dissolving force in the physical body.
Imaginative influence on the personality & presentation of the
physical body. L-12 in domain-1 makes a sleepy person who is better
connected with dreams and imagination, may also have 'bedroom' energy and
other implications of L-12 (e.g. Madonna). Losses through athleticism,
competition, selfishness. But if L-12 is benefic their dreamy fantasies
and power to channel astral patterns through their natural body are wealth
makers and a source of individual strength.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
1st house, the native will be a spendthrift, weak in constitution, will
suffer from phlegmatic disorders, and be devoid of wealth and learning. "
[133]

|
Dhana Bhava - House 2 |
L-12 in 3rd-from his own house
gives losses through family members. Not completely unfavorable for
acquiring money, but poor judgment in spending family funds. Softens the
speech teeth & mouth which can be a disease factor sometimes,
depending of the virulence of the graha. But normally just as Parashara
says, speaks sweetly. Brings a dreamlike disconnection into matters of
banking & financial management. Losses through ignorance of history
and inattention to practical detail. Strange eating habits and highly
imaginative beliefs.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
2nd house, the native will always spend on inauspicious deeds, be
religious, will speak sweetly, and will be endowed with virtues and happiness.
[134]
|
|
Sahaja Bhava - House 3 |
L-12 gives some
business benefit of self-promotion in the steady
4th-from angle from his own
house.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
3rd house, the native will be devoid of fraternal bliss, will hate others,
and will promote self-nourishment (i.e. be selfish). [135]
|
|
Bandhu Bhava - House 4 |
A certain rootlessness which is compensated by
feeling more at home in the world of dreams and protected by moving
spirits. Caretakers, parents, esp mother are spacey or detached, may
always be thinking of a foreign land. Although Sage Parashara does not mention it here, one benefit of
12th-lord in the auspicious 5th-from
his own house can be the making of a fine meditation teacher.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
4th house, the native will be devoid of maternal happiness, & will day by day accrue losses with respect to lands, conveyances and houses.
[136]

|
Putra Bhava - House 5 |
An especially inauspicious position for
L-12, being
6th-from his own house. Gains
from speculation & children are dissolved. Poor boundaries with children;
adults may share their fantasies and desires; look for inappropriate
relationships. Damages the creative intelligence. Limits new
ideas. Eldest child is spacey, imaginative, has a somewhat
tenuous hold on earth life, picky eater, lives in their head. Karaka
for an early miscarriage from malnutrition. Significant losses through
children and gambling.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
5th house, the native is bereft of sons and learning. He will spend
much, and visit shrines, in order to beget a child. [137]
|
|
Ari Bhava - House 6 |
Generally a dusthana lord in a dusthana house
loses some of its malefic powers. But any graha in Ari bhava will
cause some type of trouble, and L-12 brings trouble of broken
promises. Brings the dissolving force into working partnerships, being
7th-from his own house. Unclear
marriage boundaries; tends toward profligacy. Trouble sticking to
contracts & agreements. Forgets what he promised, or doesn't
care. Animosity in the workplace due to spacey, inconsistent habits.
Loss of work. Karaka for chronic unemployment and - if L-12 is Shukra
- escapist drug addictions. Rage at the machine.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
6th house, the native will incur enmity with his own men, be given to
anger, be sinful, miserable, and go to other's wives. [138]
|
|
Kalatra Bhava - House 7 |
An especially inauspicious position for
L-12, being 8th-from his own
house. Marriage is harmed by rootlessness of foreign travel. The spouse
lives in their own head, with a degree of mental illness sometimes;
believes what they want to believe regardless of facts. If the graha is
benefic, much bed pleasure through the spouse, but it is not connective,
rather the playing out of interior fantasies. Spouse prone to extramarital
affairs, but denies it; while the native sees the spouse as unreal, a
foreigner, intangible like a dream. (Nice dream for a benefic; nightmare
if the graha is bad.) Much loss & sorrow through the spouse.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
7th house, the native will incur expenditure on account of his wife, will
not enjoy conjugal bliss, and will be bereft of learning and strength.
[139]

|
Randhra Bhava - House 8 |
L-12 in domain-8 provides dreamlike
knowledge of the cycle of birth & death. Gives secret information
through meditation & astral connection. Also loss of normal sleep.
An auspicious placement, bringing important esoteric knowledge
to the native but it uses the sleep channels so the physical body may
not get all its rest. Contributes a bit to physical degeneration
despite the overall psychic benefit.
When the destructive 12th-lord is itself destroyed in the transformative
8th house, moral dissolution is prevented & good character is strengthened.
This is an especially auspicious position for the 12th lord, being
9th-from his own house
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
8th house, the native will always gain, will speak affably, will enjoy a
medium span of life & be endowed with all good qualities. [140]
|
|
Dharma Bhava - House 9 |
L-12 dissolves respect for authority allowing the younger men to
overcome the elders ["senex complex"] and thus helps personal achievement -
being a dignified 10th-from his
own house. The father is distant or overwhelmed by life. Enhances certain
aspects of religious life, such as exoticism in ritual and bed
pleasures with fellowship. Not good for university teaching as it
blunts the rational sensibilities, replacing them with dreamy visions.
However L-12 in dharmasthana does raise prestige through foreign
assignments and helps connection to foreign sites for fieldwork.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
9th house, the native will dishonor his elders, be inimical to his friends
and always be intent on achieving his own goals. [141]
|
| |
Royal persons are
government officials, chieftains, & other recognized leaders.
Dissolving influence causes native to make payments to officials in order to
protect his own small gains because L-12 is
11th-from his own house.
Unfavorable for conventional career advancement. However the native
may receive leadership responsibilities for otherworldly enterprises,
supervision of meditation centers, visionary businesses etc.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
10th house, the native will incur expenditure through royal persons & will enjoy only moderate paternal bliss. [142]
|
|
Labha Bhava - House 11 |
'Others' are
often friends but not family; L-12 in alienated
12th-from his own house. Losses
in the marketplace. Tries to start businesses and make friendly
connections, but plagued by one's own imagination of either worthlessness
or grandiosity. House of mirrors. Drains the energy out of most types of
social networking. However, gains from foreign travel and from products
related to sleep & the imagination may be realized.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
11th house, the native will incur losses, will be brought up by others,
& will sometimes gain through others. [143]
|
|
Vyaya Bhava - House 12 |
Dissolving force dissolves the meditative influence of the astral body, often
causing physical hormonal imbalance - being
1st-from his own house.
Physical body is troublesome because the emotional body is taking more
power than it should. Many losses throughout life, notably through foreign
travel & the spouse's debt. Malefics give better results. If benefic,
look for substance addictions or destructive escapist pleasures.
Parashara says:
If the 12th lord occupies the
12th house, the native will only face heavy expenditure, will not have
physical felicity, and will be irritable & spiteful. [144]
