Chapter 17: Effects of Ari Bhava

O Brahmin, following are the effects, produced by Ari Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers etc. Listen to this attentively.

Ulcers/Bruises. Should Ari's Lord be in Ari itself, or in Lagn, or Randhr, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The Rāśi, becoming Ari Bhava, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb.

Relatives Affected. The Karak of a relative, or the Lord of such a Bhava, joining Ari's Lord, or being in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a relative, like father. Sūrya with such lordship and in such a Bhava denotes such affectation of head, Candr of the face, Mangal of the neck, Budh of the navel, Guru of the nose, Śukr of the eyes, Śani of the feet and the Rahu and Ketu of the abdomen.

Facial Diseases. Should Lagn's Lord be in a Rāśi of Mangal, or of Budh and has a Drishti on Budh, there will be diseases of the face. 7-8½. Leprosy. Mangal, or Budh, having ownership of the ascending Rāśi and joining Candr, Rahu and Śani, will cause leprosy. If Candr is in Lagn, which is not however Cancer, and be with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy. Śani in place of Rahu will cause black leprosy, while Mangal similarly will afflict one with blood-leprosy. 9-12½. Diseases in General. When Lagn is occupied by the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava along with Sūrya, the native will be afflicted by fever and tumours. Mangal, replacing Sūrya, will cause swelling and hardening of the blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons. Budh so featuring will bring in billious diseases, while Guru in similar case will destroy any disease. Similarly Śukr will cause diseases through females, Śani windy diseases, Rahu danger through low-caste-men and Ketu navel diseases. Candr in Yuti with the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava will inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic disorders. Similar estimates be made from the respective significators and Bhavas for relatives, like father. 13-19½ TIMING OF ILLNESS. The native will be afflicted by illness throughout life, if Śani is with Rahu, while Ari Lord and 6 Bhava are yuti with malefics. One will suffer from (severe) fever at the age of 6 and at the age of 12, if Mangal is in Ari, while Ari Lord is in Randhr. If the Candr is in Dhanu/Meen, while Guru is in Ari from Lagn, one will suffer from leprosy at the age of 19 and 22. If Rahu is in Ari, Lagna Lord is in Randhr and Mandi is in an angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age of 26. Spleenary disorders will be experienced at the age of 29 and 30, if the Lords of 6 and 12 are in exchange of their Rāśis. Śani and Candr together in Ari will inflict blood-leprosy at the age of 45. If Śani is with an inimical planet, while Lagn Lord is in Lagn itself, windy disorders (like rheumatism) will trouble the native at the age of 59.

UNFORTUNATE YEARS. Should Candr be yuti with Ari Lord, while the 8 Lord is in Ari and the 12 Lord is in Lagn, the native will be troubled by animals at the age of eight. O Brahmin, if Rahu is in Ari, while Śani is in Randhr from the said Rahu, the child will have danger through fire at the age of 1 and 2, while in Sahaj year birds will bring some evils.

UNFORTUNATE YEARS (continued). Danger through water will have to be feared during Putr and Dharm years, if Sūrya is in Ari, or Randhr, while Candr is in Vyaya from the said Sūrya. Śani in Randhr, as Mangal is in Yuvati, all cause small-pox in Karm year and in 30 year of age. If 8 Lord joins Rahu in an angle/trine from Randhr Bhava and be in Randhr in Navamsa, the subject will be troubled by swelling of blood vessels, urinary disorders etc. during the 18 year and the 22 year.

LOSS THROUGH ENEMIES. Loss of wealth will come to pass during the 31 year, if Labh and 6 Lords exchange their Rāśis.

INIMICAL SONS. One's own sons will be his enemies, if Putr Lord is in Ari, while Ari Lord is with Guru. Simultaneously Vyaya Lord should be in Lagn.

FEAR FROM DOGS. There will be fear from dogs during the 10 and 19 year, if the Lagna Lord and the 6 Lord are in exchange.
