Considerations in Judging a House
In examining a house due importance should be given not only to the Rasi but also to the Navamsa and other appropriate diagrams. In analysing a Bhava, the following factors should be considered carefully:-
1. The strength, aspects, conjunctions and location of the lord of the house.
2. The strength of the house itself.
3. The natural qualities of the house, of its lord and the planets in it or having aspects.
4. Whether the influence has been altered by any yogas occurring in any particular house or houses.
5. The exaltations and debilitations of the house lords are equally important.
6. The situation—favourable or adverse—of the house-lord or the lord in whose house the particular houselord is situated, in the Navamsa.
7. The age, position, status and sex of the subject.
8. Each sign has certain planets well disposed or ill disposed. For instance for those born in Aries the Sun is good. The relation between the house lord (Mars) and the Sun is very important and its proper consideration should not be overlooked.
All these must be properly weighed before any result can be deduced. If the strength of the lord is full or complete there will be in general a good influence on the house.
Among the many events comprehended by a house, those are to be selected with which the planets are not concerned. The good or bad nature of the aspects to which a lord or the house itself is subjected plays no mean part in the judgment of horoscope.
The benefic and malefic qualities of the planets should be taken under all conceivable relations. The occupations and avasthas of planets go a long way in directing the results and if well placed good planets are there, they do good.
The Adhipati or lord of the house is responsible to an immense extent for the control of the house. But if in a particular case, the lord is badly placed, and the house itself has good conjunctions and aspects then evil results should not be predicted. When the Dasa or Bhukti of a house lord comes, the results of the Bhavas in question will be realised.
For instance, lord of Lagna is weak and is in the 7th house as aspected by malefics. These combinations indicate more than one wife. During the Dasa or Bhukti of such a lord, wife’s death may be predicted.
There are hundreds of combinations given for each house and it is for the reader to try the merits of these various configurations. These difficulties in the line of astrological predictions cannot be easily overcome. When once overcome the student will no doubt be satisfied in drawing right conclusions.
Astrology is the most difficult and at the same time the most useful science and one cannot hope to learn the subject with easy-chair methods. Much effort, concentration and intuition are necessary in order to be a correct predictor.
Each ascendant has certain planets disposed towards it favourably, unfavourably and neutrally which I have enumerated below.
Benefics and Malefics for each Lagna
If Ascendant or Lagna is :
1. Aries (Mesha)—Jupiter, the Sun and Mars are benefics. Jupiter is the best benefic. The next benefic is Mars. Saturn, Mercury and Venus are malefics. Mercury being the greatest malefic as lord of the 3rd and 6th.
2. Vrishabha (Taurus)—The best benefic is Saturn as he owns the 9th and 10th. Mercury, Mars and the Sun are also benefics. Jupiter, Venus and the Moon are evil planets but Venus may be declared a neutral as he is lord of Lagna or ascendant.
3. Mithuna (Gemini)—Venus alone is the most beneficial planet for this Lagna. The most malefic is Mars as he is lord of the 6th and the 11th. Jupiter and the Sun are also evil. The Moon and Mercury may be classified as neutrals.
4. Kataka (Cancer)—Jupiter and Mars are benefics, the better being Mars as he is lord of the 5th and 10th. Venus and Mercury are evil and Saturn, the Moon and the Sun are neutrals.
5. Simha (Leo) — Mars and the Sun are benefics, the former being the most auspicious. Mercury and Venus are malefics. Jupiter, the Moon and Saturn are neutrals.
6. Kanya (Virgo)—Venus is alone the best benefic. Moon, Mars and Jupiter are evil or malefics. Saturn, the Sun and Mercury are neutrals.
7. Tula (Libra) — Saturn, Mercury and Venus are benefics, Saturn being the best. The Sun, Jupiter and the Moon are malefics. Mars may be taken as a feeble benefic.
8. Vrischika (Scorpio)—The Moon is the best benefic and Jupiter and the Sun are also benefics. Mercury and Venus are evil. Mars and Saturn are neutrals.

9. Dhanus (Sagittarius)—Mars and the Sun are benefics. Venus, Saturn and Mercury are evil and Jupiter and the Moon are neutrals.
10. Makara (Capricorn).—Venus is the most powerful benefic. Mercury and Saturn are also benefics. Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are evil, the worst being Mars. Though the Sun is the 8th lord, he becomes a neutral.
11. Kumbha (Aquarius).—Venus is the benefic. The Sun and Mars are also benefics. Jupiter and the Moon are malefics and Mercury is a neutral.
12. Meena (Pisces).—The Moon and Mars are benefics. Saturn, the Sun, Venus and Mercury are malefics. Jupiter is of course a neutral. To facilitate easy understanding I shall make these principles more clear.
In each horoscope there are benefic lords, malefic lords and neutral lords. These of course have nothing to do with the natural classification of planets as benefics and malefics.
In any horoscope the benefics or benefic lords are – (1) First house lord, other than the Moon; (2) the 5th and 9th lords (Thrikonadhipathis); (3) and (4) lords of the 4th, 7th and 10th when they do not happen to be natural benefics.
The lord of the 9th is decidedly more benefic than the lord of the 5th. Similarly lord of the 10th is more benefic than that of the 7th while the lord of the 4th is the least benefic.
The malefics or malefic lords in a horoscope are – (1) Lords of the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses; (2) lords of the 4th, 7th and 10th houses (Kendradhipathis) if they happen to be natural benefics.
Again among the malefics the 11th lord is the worst malefic, the 6th less malefic while the 3rd the least malefic.
The neutrals in a horoscope are – (1) The Moon—when he is lord of Lagna, (2) the Sun or the Moon as the 8th lord, (3) the Sun or the Moon as the lords of the 2nd and 12th.
Thus the student has to be very careful in correctly affirming the strengths, weakness and other peculiarities of the horoscope. From the above it will be seen that a natural benefic, such as for instance Jupiter, can also become a malefic when he is lord of an angle.
Natural malefics such as Mars, Saturn, etc., become temproral benefics if they become lords of angles (Kendras). Similarly, natural benefics become malefics if they own quadrangular houses.
It is also to be noted that a natural benefic, who becomes a malefic by virtue of quadrangle ownership, will cease to act as a malefic, when he occupies the angular house (Kendra) of which he is lord. Thus in case of Cancer, if Venus occupies Libra, he will cease to be a malefic just because Libra happens to be his own.
Similarly, a natural malefic, viz., Mars who becomes a benefic by virtue of quadrangular ownership will cease to be a benefic, when he occupies the angular house of which he is the lord.
Yogakarakas – Yogakarakas are planets that confer fame, honour, dignity, financial prosperity, political success, and reputation. Any planet can become yogakaraka when he is a common lord of certain houses. The extent to which he produces a yoga depends upon the strength he has gained by virtue of Shadbalas, association, aspect and occupation.
1. A planet owning both a Kendra (quadrant) and a Trikona (trine) becomes a yogakaraka. This is possible only in case of Mars, Saturn and Venus.
- In case of Kataka Lagna (Cancer rising) and Simha Lagna (Leo rising) Mars can officiate as Yogakaraka as he becomes lord of 5th and 10th with reference to Cancer and 4th and 9th from Leo.
- When the ascendant is Thula (Libra) Saturn owns 4th and 5th—an angle and a trine respectively and hence he becomes yogakaraka.
- When the ascendant is Taurus, Saturn becomes 9th and 10th lord and hence a yogakaraka.
- Venus becomes a yogakaraka, when the ascendant becomes Makara (Capricorn) or Kumbha (Aquarius); in the former case Venus owns the 5th and 10th houses and in the latter case he becomes lord of 4th and 9th.
2. When a Kendradhipati (angular lord) becomes associated with Trikonadhipati (trinal lord), then also, a Rajayoga is caused. Between these two lords in association, he who is not blemished either by the other ownership (such as 3rd, 6th, etc.) or by associating with lords of 3, 6, 8, becomes the acting yogakaraka.
It should be remembered carefully that the most powerful Rajayoga could be caused by the association of lords of 9th and 10th. The combination of the lords of the 4th and 5th, 7th and 5th, 10th and 5th, 4th and 9th, 7th and 9th and 10th and 9th is so powerful that it can overcome, to a large measure, the slight blemish caused by other malefic lordships.
3. When the 9th and 10th lords have exchanged their places, each is capable of becoming a Rajayogakaraka; also, when the 9th lord is in the 10th or the 10th lord is in the 9th, a Rajayoga is caused.
4. When the 9th and 10th lords fully aspect each other, they will confer Rajayoga.
5. Apart from the Rajayogas referred to above, certain yogas will be caused due to the position of certain planets in certain situations. Thus Jupiter and the Moon mutually aspecting or in mutual quadrants will also confer fame and dignity.
In all cases, wherever a Rajayoga is noticed, the extent to which it will be realised depends upon the inherent strength it has gained as a result of ownership, association, occupation and aspect of the two planets that cause a Yoga. The Yoga can really be of some substantial effect provided the planets causing the yoga are within 12° of each other.
In measuring the yogas or even the general nature of the horoscope, the starting point should be either the ascendant or the Moon, whichever is stronger.
Chart No. 1 – (a) The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury (lords of 4th and 5th) in the 10th has resulted in a Rajayoga. This is not as powerful as the next one because of the blemish generated by association with Jupiter – lord of 8th and 11th.
(b) Saturn is the Yogakaraka, as he is lord of 6th and 10th and occupies the second.
Chart No. 2. – (a) The combination of Mars and Jupiter in the ascendant has produced a Rajayoga.
(b) Mars by himself is a yogakaraka as he is lord of the 4th and 9th. The astrologer should possess a keen intellect to enable him to analyse the various sets of combinations and sift the evidence properly.
