This is the firstsign of the zodiac, and its lord is Mars. House is between Jupiter and Venus,
both of them natural benefices, and this house will be having the aspect of
Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Mars by itself is a robust and sturdy planet. Hence
the native is generally well-built. Owing to the aspect of Saturn on the
Ascendant, typically, in their youth, these people have slight ill-health, and
that always happens during the first significant period after birth. This house
contains the constellations Aswani, Bharni and the first quarter of Krittika.
The benefice planets for this Ascendant are Venus, the Moon, the Sun, Jupiter,
and Saturn. Venus because she happens to be the lord of the 2nd and 7th houses,
the Moon because she happens to be the owner of the 4th house, and the Sun, the
lord of the 5th house; Jupiter, the lord of the 9th house; and Saturn, the lord
of the 10th and 11th house. All these are significant houses, and excepting
Saturn all the others are very friendly with Mars. Hence the native is likely
to rice in life though it will not be without obstacles because Mars and Saturn
are not friendly, and temperamentally Mars being a martial planet, these people
generally do not go down in life, and even if they do, they do so not without
putting up a tough fight.
Venus is the lord
of the 2nd, and 7th houses have only the aspect of Mars. Mars and Mercury and
this houses have just the aspect of Mars. Mars and Mercury are friends of
Venus. But one is a natural malefic while the other is a doubtful benefice.
Mars and Venus being very friendly, they have a reasonable right amount of
domestic happiness. They are also well placed financially they are not able to
save much. They are rather outspoken and truthful. They come from an ethical
and respectable family because Mars and the Sun are friendly and so also Mars
and Venus.
They can be good
speakers if they try. Mars, the Sun, and Jupiter are friends.
The 3rd house
belongs to Mercury, and this house is between Venus and the Moon and both of
them are friends of Mercury besides being natural benefices. This house has the
aspect of Jupiter and Mars. The aspect of Jupiter on the on the 3rd house must
not be considered to be very beneficial. He may have brothers and sisters, but
the native himself is likely to be in a better position than his brothers or
sisters, and very often it can be noticed that because Mars and Mercury are not
friends, there is not much agreement between himself and his brothers and
sisters. Owing to the aspect of Mars and Jupiter on this house, they are
alternately very rash and thoughtful in their acts. They have frequent short
journeys on land and even travel overseas.
The Moon is the lord of the 4th house,
and this house is between Mercury and Sun. This house has the aspect of Mars,
Saturn, and Jupiter. The Moon happens to be not only the lord of the 4th house
indicating mother but also the indicator for the mother. Therefore, they have
indeed a very respectable and good lady as a mother, but owing to the aspect of
two malefic planets, Saturn and Mars, somehow the lady's health is not good or
else she has some mental unhappiness. Their education is very often interrupted
because of the aspect of Saturn, but with well-placed Mercury in the horoscope,
they may have a very liberal education owing to the aspect of Jupiter on this
house. Mars and Saturn being two malefic planets expecting the 4th house, they
may be short-tempered, and they may not translate their evil thoughts into
action. They will have many friends both in high and low society. Because of
the aspect of Jupiter and Saturn respectively, somehow they are not able to do
much good to their friends in spite of their position in life.
Sun is the lord
of the 5th house, and this house is between the Moon and Mercury, both of them
more or less benefice and friends of the Sun. This house has the aspect of the
Jupiter and Saturn. The aspect of Jupiter is no doubt positive, but the aspect
of Saturn cannot be considered to be good at all especially since.
Saturn and the
Sun are adversaries. This house indicates not only children but also
Poorvapunya and authority as also love affairs and creative intelligence. While
owing to the aspect of Jupiter, one will have to say that these people are
fortunate in life; still, one thing will have to be remembered that owing to
the aspect of Saturn, there will be some fluctuation in their fortune in life.
These people are generally blessed with children. But, very often, they are
indecisive.
The 6th house has
Mercury as its lord, and this house is between the Sun and Venus. This house
has the aspect of Jupiter. The aspect of Jupiter is necessarily bad because it
increases the effect of the 6th house and therefore, these people have many
enemies. Mars and Mercury themselves are enemies. But one thing, generally the
enemies do not get the upper hand. These people very often have overseas
travels.
The 7th house has
Venus with the aspect of Mars and Saturn. Mars expecting the 7th house as the
lord of the Ascendant must be considered to be bad especially on the 7th house.
It has to be noted that this house is between Mercury and Mars, of whom one is
a positive malefic, and the other is a doubtful benefice. It is also
unfortunate that there is no aspect of a benefice Jupiter. But Mars and Venus
are friendly planets. Hence they marry well or at least they can make their own
choice. But the aspect of Saturn is likely to give them more than one wife or
in these modern times, a solid chance of a separation or a divorce. These
people do not generally enter into public life very much unless they are forced
to do so. The health of the wife is reasonably good.
The 8th house has
the aspect of Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Though Mars and Saturn are
hostile planets, yet the aspect of two very benefice and dominant planets,
Jupiter and Venus, gives them a reasonably long life. This house is between
Venus and Jupiter, two very benefice planets. But one thing also has to be
remembered that owing to the aspect of two very benefice planets on the 8th
house, though this may be conducive to a long life, it may also result in
suffering and hardship and be the cause of misery and unhappiness in life.
The 9th house has
Jupiter as its lord, and this house, unfortunately, is between Mars and Saturn,
two natural malefic planets. This house has the aspect of Mercury alone. But
Jupiter and the Sun, the indicator for father, are friends. Mars and Jupiter
are also friends. The native's father may have some money, but somehow that
money is lost before it comes to them or at least after is come. For, it must
be noted that the lord of 2nd house, Venus and the Sun are hostile planets. So
also Venus and Jupiter some somehow or other these people do not get the
advantage of a father's care even if they understand they manage to lose it.
The 10th house
has Saturn as its lord, and this house has only the aspect of the Moon. This
house is between Jupiter and Saturn himself. Saturn is more a servant than a
master. Besides, Mars and Saturn are bitter inimical planets. Therefore, in
life, these people will generally have many obstacles thrown in their way. To
achieve their goals, they will have to fight every inch of the way. They will
not get things quickly. As for religion, they would be more Catholic than
orthodox. They do rise to a position of eminence but only after a bitter
struggle.
Saturn again
happens to be the lord of the 11th house and this house has the aspect of Mars
and the Sun, both of them natural malefic. Mars and Saturn are inimical
planets. Here one peculiarity has to be observed. While Saturn and Venus are
friendly planets, Jupiter and Venus happen to be antagonistic. Hence their incomes
do not commensurate with the input.
The
12th house has as its lord Jupiter, and it is between Saturn and Mars, two
malefic, and this house and this house also has the aspect of Saturn and
Mercury. Hence it can be seen that these people are not able to enjoy life as
well as their position and income would warrant. They may have the desired
object, but the enjoyment of it as such would be denied to them.
