Chapter 13: Double Planetary Yogas

The conduct, wealth, knowledge, intelligence and skill of a person will be poor, moderate or excellent accord- ing as the Moon occupies the Kendra, the Panaphara or the Apoklima houses from the Sun, and a person will be rich and will live in comfort if the Moon occupy his own Navarnsa or an Atrnitra Navamsa (<5), provided she is aspected by Jupiter if the birth occur by day, and by Venus if the birth occur by night.

If the benefic planets occupy the 6th, 7th and the 8th houses from the Moon, the yoga is known as Adh* CH. XIII.] Brihal JdtaM. 14-3 yoga (&). A person born in this yoga will become a gene- ral, a minister or a king and will be in the enjoyment of great pleasures and wealth with subdued enemies and long life and free from diseases and fear.

Excepting the Sun, if the other planets occupy the 2nd, the 12th, or both the 2nd and the 12th houses from the Moon, the yogas are respectively known as Sunapha, Anapha or Durudhura ; otherwise, the yoga is known as Kemadruma by numerous writers. According to some, if the Moon occupy the Kendra house from the ascendant or if the Moon be accompanied by a planet, the yoga ceases to be a Kemadruma yoga. According to others, the three yogas, Sunapha, Anapha and Puru- dhnra are referred to the Kendra houses from the Moori 144 Bnhat Jdtakd. [Cn. XIII. ; while again, some others refer the three yogas to the houses oil both sides of the sign the Navamsa of which the Moon occupies. But these views are not considered as authoritative.

The Sunapha and the Anapha yogas are each of thirty-one sorts, ajid the Durudhura yogas are of one hun- dred and eighty sorts, as will be found to be the case by forming series as described in the rule for finding the num- ber of combinations of a given number of things.

A person born in a Sunapha yoga will be possess- ed of self-acquired property, will be a king or will resent CH. XIIL] Brihai Jdtakd. 147 ble a king, and will be a man of intelligence, wealth and renown. A person born in an Anapha yoga will be a man of influence and authority, will be free from diseases, will have a control over his passions, will be of great renown, will be in the enjoyment of all manner of pleasures, will wear neat dress and will be free from grief.

A person born in a Durudhura yoga will be in the enjoyment of all manner of pleasures, will be possess- ed of wealth and carriage, will be liberal in his gift and will have good servants. A person born in a Kemadrunia yoga, though he may belong to a king's family, will be dirty, afflicted with grief, will do deeds not suited to his rank in life, will be poor, will serve under others and will be wicked.

If the yoga planet be Mars, the person will be active, fond of fight, wealthy, and will engage in deeds without thought. If the yoga planet be Mercury, the person will be skilled in work, will be of good speech and learned in the arts. If the yoga planet be Jupite^ the person will be wealthy and virtuous, will live for ever in comfort and will be respected by the king. If the yoga planet be Venus, the person will be afflicted with sexual passion, will be very wealthy and in the enjoyment of all manner of pleasures.

If the yoga planet be Saturn, the person will enjoy wealth, property and servants of others, will engage in various deeds and will be the chief of parties of men. If the birth occur by day, the Moon will bring on misery if she occupy the visible hemisphere, will bring on prosperity if she occupy the invisible hemisphere ; if the birth occur by night, the results will be the reverse of these (6).

If all the benefic planets occupy the Upachaya places from the Ascendant at the time of birth, a person will be very rich and if they occupy the Upachaya places from the Moon, lie will be moderately rich. If two of the planets occupy the Upachaya places, a person will be moderately wealthy and if one of them occupy such places, he will possess small wealth (c\ Even if the person be born in other malefic Yogas (aT), the present yoga will take effect to their exclusion. NOTES, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. (£) The 3rd, 6th, 10th and llth houses from the Ascendant. So that, if benefic planets occupy the Upachaya places both from the Ascendant and from the Moon, a person will be exceedingly rich ; and if the Upachaya places be not so occupied by any of the benefic planets, the person will be poor. Such as Kemadruma yoga. (<?) That is, suppose a person to be born in a Kema- druma yoga and suppose the benefic planets to occupy the Upachaya places from the Ascendant or the Moon or both, the person will become rich and not poor.
