B.V. Raman's "Remarks"
regarding the Yoga |
|
|
|
187.
Uttama Griha Yoga |
Definition.—The
lord of the 4th house
should join
benefics in a kendra or thrikona.
Results.—The subject will possess good houses.
|
Remarks.—Possession
of a good house is held to be a great fortune. Astrological
writers attach much importance to the lucky or unlucky nature of
a house a man lives in or owns. Some houses bring in success and
happiness while some lead the owner to failure and misery. This particular yoga indicates the possession
of a good house. The 4th
lord must be strongly disposed
in a quadrant or trine. The
4th lord must be
associated with a benefic,
or at least receive the aspect
of a benefic. When
the Lagna is not strong, the yoga must be applied with
reference to Chandra Lagna.
This is, of course,
our opinion though the original
writers have not said anything
specifically about
this.
|
|
188.
Vichitra Saudha
Prakara Yoga
|
Definition.—If
the
lords of the 4th and 10th are conjoined together with Saturn and Mars, the above yoga
is given rise to.
Results.—The
person acquires
innumerable mansions. |
Remarks.—The
combination comprehends two conditions.
-
First, there must be a conjunction of the 4th
and 10th lords;
-
second,
these two planets together must join Saturn and Mars.
-
Evidently this is a four-planet combination, rather rare of occurrence.
Yet in
regard to Thula, Vrischika, Makara and Simha, these planets cause the yoga, because
the 4th lord invariably happens to be either Saturn or Mars. Likewise
in regard to Mesha, Vrishabha, Kataka and Kumbha, the yoga could exist due to the
conjunction of only three planets.
Usually Saturn-Mars combination is harmful, as it is capable of immense
mischief, but here probably the general rule is excepted. |
|
189 & 190.
Ayatna Griha Prapta Yogas
|
Definition.—Lords
of Lagna and the 7th should occupy Lagna or the 4th, aspected by benefics—189.
The
lord of the 9th should be posited in a kendra and the lord of the
4th must be in exaltation, moola-thrikona or own house—190.
Results.—The
subject acquires substantial house property with hardly any effort. |
Remarks.—It
must be a matter of common experience that some people will never be able to own a
house for themselves in spite of their best efforts, while others
will acquire house property with hardly any effort.
The causes for such disparity are purely astrological.
According
to combination 189, the lords of Lagna and the 7th should occupy Lagna or
the 4th.
If
there is no aspect by a benefic, some effort is necessary. |
|
191 & 192.
Grihanasa
Yogas |
Definition.—The
lord of the 4th should be in the 12th aspected by a malefic—191.
The
lord of the navamsha occupied by the lord of the 4th should be
disposed in the 12th—192.
Results.—The
person will lose all the house property.
|
Remarks.—These
two yogas are very important because they give a clue for ascertaining whether one would
lose one's property, already acquired or ancestral. The yogas refer to the 4th lord being
situated in the house of loss. This must evidently imply the 12th
from the 4th and not from Lagna. In other words
when either the lord of the 4th or the lord of the navamsa occupied by the 4th is situated in the 3rd,
there will be loss of house property. |
|
193
& 194.
Bandhu
Pujya Yogas |
Definition.—If
the benefic lord of the 4th is aspected
by another benefic and Mercury is situated in Lagna, the above yoga
is given rise to—193.
The
4th house or the 4th lord should have the association or aspect of Jupiter—194.
Results.—The
person will be respected by his relatives and friends.
|
Remarks.—A
slight distinction is to be noted in the results suggested between the combinations 193 and
194. The former makes one respected by his relatives while the
latter makes one loved by his relatives.
In actual practice, it is difficult to differentiate between the two.
Respect
may be shown for one's character, integrity and great qualities of head and heart
while in showing love, other considerations may set in. The first combination refers to the benefic
lord of the 4th. This means that it is applicable to those
born in
Mesha, Mithuna, Kataka, Dhanus and Meena. The 2nd combination is more general and broad-based. |
|
195.
Bandhubhisthyaktha Yoga |
Definition.—The
4th lord must be associated with malefics or occupy evil shashtiamsas or join inimical
or debilitation signs.

|
|
|
196
& 197.
Matrudeerghayur
Yogas |
Definition.—A
benefic must occupy the 4th, the 4th lord must be exalted, and the Moon must be strong—196.
The
lord of the navamsa occupied by the 4th lord should be strong and occupy a kendra from
Lagna as
well as Chandra Lagna—197.
Results.—The native's mother will live long.
|
Remarks.—These
two combinations give a clue for
ascertaining the longevity of one's mother.
The
4th lord, the Moon and the 4th house must all be strong and free
from evil aspects and association.
Even
assuming that the 4th house is afflicted, long Me
for the mother can be predicted if the Moon is waxing and
occupies a friendly place which should be
a kendra or a thrikona from the 4th lord. |
|
198
& 199. Matrunasa
Yogas |
Definition.—The
Moon
should be hemmed in between,
associated with or aspected by evil planets—198.
The
planet owning the navamsha, in which the lord of the navamsha
occupied by the 4th lord is situated
should be disposed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house—199.
Results.—The
person's mother will have a verv early death.
|
Remarks.—According
to combination 198, the Moon
should be afflicted in order to render a man lose
his mother early.
Here
affliction means, being subjected to Papakarthari Yoga, or being aspected by
or conjoined with malefics.
One
of the three conditions must prevail. If all the three are present, the
mother will die immediately after the birth of the subject.
If
the Moon is in conjunction with Saturn but
aspected by Jupiter, or the Moon is in the 4th subjected
to the above influences, the Yoga for killing the mother is there, but the benefic aspect of Jupiter delays the
event.
Added to this disposition, if
the 4th lord is also afflicted, then early death to the
mother is inevitable. |
|
200. Matrugami Yoga |
Definition.—The
Moon or Venus should join a kendra in conjunction with or aspected by a malefic, and
an evil planet should occupy the 4th house.
Results.—The
person will be guilty of committing adultery with his own mother.
|
Remarks.—No
greater sin can be conceived of than
association with one's own mother. Unless a man
is utterly shameless and completely depraved of all
feelings of conscience, he cannot be guilty of such
a heinous crime as the one mentioned in this combination.
Here,
by the term mother is implied not
only the lady who has given birth to the person (step-mother also included) but to ladies who are held
in equal esteem, viz., the ruler's wife, preceptor's
wife, brother's wife, wife's mother and his own
mother.
The
Moon is the karaka of the mind and also mother.
Venus is the karaka of sexual passions. According
to this combination, the Moon and Venus should
be afflicted in the manner suggested.
Adultery
in any form is a consequence of mental filth and therefore both the planets and
particularly the Moon must be devoid of association or aspect, if
one is to entertain healthy thoughts. |
|
201. Sahodareesangama
Yoga
|
Definition.—If
the
lord of the 7th and Venus are in conjunction in the 4th house and are aspected by or
associated with malefics or are in cruel shashtiamsas, the
above yoga is given rise to.
Results.—The
person will be guilty of intercourse with his own sisters:
|
Remarks.—The
combination is simple and does not require further elucidation.
Intimacy with a sister
is as heinous a crime as with a mother or a lady equal to a mother but men
sometimes behave worse than beasts for the gratification of their bestial instincts.
The
best safeguard against any form of sexual immorality is an unafflicted disposition of Venus. |
|
202 to 204.
Kapata Yogas
|
Definition.—The
4th house must be joined by a malefic and the 4th lord must be associated with or aspected
by malefics or be hemmed in between malefics—202.
The
4th must be occupied by Shani, Kuja, Rahu and the malefic 10th lord, who in his turn
should be aspected by malefics—203.
The
4th lord must join Saturn, Mandi and Rahu and aspected by malefics—204.
Results.— The
person becomes a hypocrite.
|
Remarks.—In
my
leading articles in the astrological
magazine, I have clearly shown that the first-rate
malefics, viz., Saturn, Mars and Rahu, should
occupy such positions in the horoscopes of political
leaders and statesmen, as would render them
absolutely harmless. Whenever
there is a conjunction
between Saturn-Rahu, Saturn-Mars and Mars-Rahu,
the person will always be actuated by selfish
and mean motives. Generally
Kapata Yogas are to be found in the charts of diplomats, for
diplomacy always implies dignified hypocrisy. The 4th rules the heart and the presence there of these incendiary
planets makes the person conceal his real feelings and gives an
impure heart. These three combinations
are of common occurrence in the horoscopes
of ordinary people. Some are very hypocritical
by nature and they seldom give out their minds. Much more than a malefic afflicting
the 4th house, the association
of Saturn or Rahu with the 4th lord is not
desirable. |
|
205 & 206.
Nishkapata
Yogas |
Definition.—The
4th house must be occupied by a benefic, or a planet in exaltation,
friendly or own house,
or the 4th house must be a benefic sign—205.
Lord
of Lagna should join the 4th in conjunction with or aspected by a benefic or occupy
Parvata or Uttamamsa.—206.
Results.—The
person will be pure-hearted and hates secrecy and hypocrisy.
|
Remarks.—According
to the above two combinations, the 4th house must be occupied by a benefic or it
must have an exalted planet or the sign in the 4th house must be a friendly one to
the planet situated there.
The combination is very flexible and is capable of loose
interpretation.
Just because the 4th house happens
to be a benefic sign, it cannot make one an angel.
On the contrary, it is the 4th
lord that we have to look to.
So long as the 4th lord does not conjoin Rahu or Saturn or if he conjoins, so long as there
is the aspect of Jupiter or Venus, preferably Jupiter, there is no fear of the person
being a hypocrite.
The above two combinations are given for what
they are worth. But in our opinion, great care must be exercised in applying them to actual
horoscopes. |
|
207.
Matru Satrutwa Yoga |
Definition.—Mercury,
being lord of Lagna and the
4th, must join with or be aspected by a malefic.
Results.—The person will hate his mother.
|
Remarks.—Evidently
this combination is applicable only to Mithuna Lagna horoscopes. For in regard
to no other sign can Mercury become the lord of Lagna and the 4th.
It occurs to us that when the lords of the Navamshas in which the Moon in the horoscopes
of the mother and son are placed, are mutual
enemies, cordial feelings do not exist between
them.
This
is only an observation and must be further tested before it could be raised to the distinction
of an astrological principle. |
|
208.
Matru Sneha Yoga
|
Definition.—The
1st and 4th houses must have a common lord, or the lords of the 1st and 4th must be temporal or natural friends or
aspected by benefics.
Results.—Cordial
relations will prevail between mother
and son.
|
|
|
209 & 210.
Vahana Yogas
|
Definition.—The
lord of Lagna must join the 4th, 11th or the 9th—209.
The
4th lord must be exalted and the lord of the exaltation sign must occupy a kendra or trikona—210.
Results.—The
native will acquire material comforts and conveyances.
|
Remarks.—In
the modern world, vahana must refer to bicycles and
automobiles and not to the time-honoured
carriages drawn by horses or palanquins carried by bearers.
Any person of average means
can possess a bicycle, but very few can afford to own an automobile.
Therefore, there must be some distinct combinations present in a horoscope to enable the subject
to acquire a vahana.
The lord of Lagna must not only join the 4th, 9th or 11th but must
be equally strong. Otherwise, the yoga cannot function properly.
The following observations may also be noted:—
Vahanakaraka
is Venus and Vahanasthana is the 4th.
Therefore,
if Venus joins the 4th with the 4th lord, the person could possess ordinary vehicles.
If Venus or lord of the 4th is
in the 11th or 9th, the native
will possess a number of conveyances.
If
the 4th lord is connected
with the Moon, then the person will have carriages drawn by horses
or motor cars in modern
parlance.
|
|
211.
Anapathya Yoga |
Definition.—If
Jupiter
and the lords of Lagna, the 7th and the 5th are weak, the above yoga is given rise
to...[coming soon!]
|
Remarks.—The
1st and 4th houses can have common
lords only in respect of Mithuna and Dhanus.
When the lords of Lagna and the 4th are mutual friends or Tatkalika
friends, the yoga is said to
prevail. Here also, the relationship between the Navamsa lords,
adverted to in regard to combination 207, may be applied with
advantage. |
|
212
to 215. Sarpasapa
Yoga |
Definition.—The
lord of Lagna must join the 4th, 11th or the 9th—209.
The
4th lord must be exalted and the lord of the exaltation sign must occupy a kendra or trikona—210.
Results.—The
native will acquire material comforts and conveyances.

Peenasaroga
Yoga |
Definition:
-
the
Moon, Saturn, and a malefic should be in the 6th, 8th, and
12th respectively
-
and
Lagnadhipathi should join a malefic navamsha.
Results: The person suffers from inflammation
of Schneiderian Membrane. |
Peenasaroga is a
disease of the nose. The nasal canal rots and becomes full of fetid
matter and sometimes discharges of blood mixed with pus from the
nose.
Heaviness of the head, disgust
for food, watery discharges from the nose, weakness of the voice,
and repeated discharges of mucous secretions are symptoms that
appear first.
Mercury is the planet
associated with the nose and therefore any afflictions to him may
find expression in the shape of the person suffering from nasal
complaints.
In the majority of the horoscopes
studied by me, the Moon in the 6th and Lagnadhipathi in a malefic
navamsha has caused Peenasaroga. |
|
279. Pittaroga Yoga |
Definition:
The sixth house must be
occupied by the Sun, in conjunction with a malefic, and further
aspected by another malefic.
Results:
The subject suffers from
bilious complaints. |
Remarks: (see below) |
|
279.
Pittaroga Yoga
-- Remarks:
According to Ayurveda, the
entire psychological activities of the body are controlled and
brought about by three important forces or basic factors called thridoshas.
They are Vatha
(wind), Pitta (bile) and Sleshma (phlegm). [BPL
note: phlegm factor also called "Kapha"]
-
Pitta is said to
be responsible for metabolic activities. The thridoshas when
excited or disturbed are said to cause diseases. Each dosha
has got its own attributes.
-
For instance, the
attributes of pitta are heat, keenness, lightness, and slight
oiliness. When there is excitement of pitta, the effects
are burning, warmth, suppuration, gangrenous ulcerations, secretions, and
redness of complexion.
-
Where there is Pittavriddhi
(increase of bile) there will be disposition to jaundice,
sleeplessness, and increase of hunger. Pittakshakshayam (decrease
of bile) give rise to colic troubles.
I would refer the reader to
standard works on Ayurveda for greater details.
The Sun's position in the
6th by itself is good. When
the Sun is in the house of diseases, joined and aspected by
malefics, the native's health will not be good and he will
always suffer from one complaint or the other due to excitement or
pitta or bile.

Yoga |
Definition:

Results:

Remarks:
If Jupiter aspects
the Moon-Saturn conjunction, the yoga gets neutralized.
If the
aspecting planet is Mars, then the person will not only be harsh and
blunt in his speech, but sarcastic also. |
