Bhrigu Sutras PART " 1 Information a#out Planets and Houses The $odiac% Signs and Planets he wor) 2+hrigu Sutra$2 Sutra$2 deals with the effects of vario various us planets in the twelve houses of the horoscope. +efore ta)ing up the $ain wor), it will "e useful for the readers to have so$e idea of the Zodiac, the twelve parts of the Zodiac vi3., the signs and the 4ualities characteristics and significations of the planets as well as the significations of the twelve houses. 5n this chapter we propose to give infor$ation a"out the Zodiac, signs and the planets. he significations of the twelve houses will "e given in the ne!t chapter. The $odiac he Zodiac is a circle of space surrounding the %arth. 5t $ay "e i$agined as a "elt in the heavens a"out /6 degrees wide in which the planets travel. 5t is the Sun7s apparent path that is called the ecliptic. he 3odiacal circle is divided into twelve parts, each part containing thirty degrees of space called the signs of the Zodiac. hus a sign is one twelfth division of the 3odiacal circle and is denned as containing 18 degrees of celestial longitude9 /0 signs each $easuring 18 degrees constitute the circle of the Zodiac or 1-8 degrees. 5n this circle the planets travel each in its own or"it, one outlying "eyond the other. he twelve signs of fhe Zodiac are Aries :Mesha;, aurus :Vrisha"h;, isces :Meena;. 5t is these twelve signs through which the planets travel or transit fro$ west to east, going through one sign after another in their order fro$ Aries to >isces. %ach sign possesses a specific influence. he planets also as they travel around the Zodiac e!ert an influence according to their separate nature and position in the Zodiac.  Although according to $ode$ Astrology Astrology there are twelve planets vi3., Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Kethu, ?ranus, @eptune and >luto, (indu Astrology recognises only the first nine. %ach sign of the Zodiac is owned "y a planet who is ter$ed as its 7ruler7. Sun and Moon rule one sign each vi3., =eo and Cancer respectively. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn rule two signs each. here here is controversy controversy a"out Rahu and Kethu ruling so$e signs "ut the fact is that they "eing shadow planets do not own any signs "ut cast their influence according to signs in which they are placed, or lords of those signs, or according to planets influencing the$ "y aspect or association.

(ence on an average Saturn re$ains in a sign for a"out 0 E years. Saturn is called 7a$a7 as he is the chief governor for longevity. Saturn is said to "e 7la$e7 and the son of he Sun. Saturn is so$eti$es sy$"olised as ather i$e. According to *estern "elief in olden days Sater or Satan was the na$e given to Saturn and he signified devil, dar)ness, secrecy, loss and $isfortune. (is nature is cold, dry, phleg$atic, $elancholic, earthy and $asculine. *hen Saturn is well placed or well aspected, the person is grave, profound, prudent, cautious and of e!cellent organising and e!ecutive a"ility. 5f Saturn is afflicted, the native is apt to "e "igoted ac4uisitive irrita"le, discontented and co$plaining. Saturn governs the teeth, "ones spleen, )nees, right ear and sense of hearing. (e rules "ric) laying, pottery, $asonry, plu$"ing and other la"orious and uncongenial e$ploy$ent.

Saturn acts as a deterrent and "ecause he "rings denial and necessity into so$e lives, he has "een considered as an oppressor, a Satan 2(e that filleth with pride will suffer a fall2# for Saturn will "ring the native to his )nees, hu$"le hi$, and "y $eans of restrictions, li$itation and adversities, will cause the individual to ponder, study and see) to find the source of woe that in future $ay "e overco$e. hus while Saturn is a destroyer :of false ideals;, he is also a redee$er, in that he "rings to $ind a state of introspection and sti$ulates effort towards perfection and victory. Saturnians are e!tre$ely sensitive "ut they hide their feelings and e$otions under a $as) of reserve. 5f fre4uently censured, they withdraw fro$ association and their progress and develop$ent are $uch delayed. Saturn is considered to "e favoura"le for people "orn in the signs owned "y Venus whereas Saturn is evil to those "orn in the signs governed "y Mercury. (e is also "eneficial when he is in his own sign, or when he occupies the signs of Jupiter or when he is e!alted. Saturn when "enefic $a)es a person true, relia"le, honest, sincere, faithful and chaste. (e aids concentration, $editation prayers, etc. Saturn is the chief governor for longevity :(e is called Ayush Kara)a;. 5f he occupies the house of longevity, na$ely, the th house in a horoscope, the native gets a long span of life. Saturn owns Capricorn and A4uarius. (e is e!alted in =i"ra, the highest e!altation point "eing 08 degrees of =i"ra. (e is de"ilitated in Aries, the lowest de"ilitation point "eing 08 degrees of Aries. or Saturn the first 08 degrees portion of A4uarius is his MFltri)ona and the rest is his Swa)shetra. he whole of Capricorn is also his swa)shetra. Mercury and Venus are friends of Saturn. he Sun, the Moon and Mars are his ene$ies. Jupiter is neutral to hi$. ; Rahu and uranic story after churning of the ocean :Sa$udra Manthan; ca$e out a divine elephant, a horse, a physician, the eriodically they succeed in swallowing the Sun and the Moon :his is during eclipses; "ut they escape as they are i$$ortal. he fact that has since "een universally accepted is that Rahu Ketu are celestial points on the Zodiac with regulated $ove$ent and or"it and they have a distinct and predicta"le influence in horoscopes. he $otion of these points which is always retrograde, can "e calculated as accurately as the position of the Sun or the Moon, through owing to their "eing without su"stance, this cannot "e verified "y visual o"servation. *esterners have na$ed Rahu and Ketu as &ragon7s (ead and &ragon7s ail respectively. Caput and Cauda are the other na$es given to the$ "y *esterners. o understand how these i$aginary points are accurately located and their $ove$ents are calculated we have to consider the apparent paths in the heavens of the two planets the Sun and the Moon, that is, the paths along which the Sun and the Moon appear to an o"server on earth, to rotate. he Sun appears to $ove along an ellipse of which %arth is a focus. he plane of this ellipse is inclined to the terrestrial %4uator at an angle of 01 degrees. he Moon, as the satellite of the %arth $oves round it and its path is also elliptical with the %arth as a focus, and plane of this or"it is inclined to the %4uator at an angle of 0 degrees, so that the planes of the or"its of the Sun and the Moon appear to the o"server on %arth to "e inclined to each other at an angle of 6 degrees. he two points at which the or"it of the Moon cuts the or"it of the Sun are called nodes, and they are e!actly /8 degrees apart. he point of intersection for$ed when the Moon7s $otion is fro$ South to @orth, is said to "e ascending node and na$ed Rahu, and the point of intersection for$ed when the Moon7s $otion is fro$ north to south is called the descending node or Ketu. 5t has "een o"served that the nodes have a retrograde $ove$ent in the Zodiac at the rate of /B degrees 08 $inutes per year. Rahu and Ketu are said to stay in a sign for a"out / $onths. Rahu and Ketu indicate one "orn in a low caste# one who $ay have intrigue with girls# is one whose thoughts and actions will "e evil. Hne will resort to outcastes and low "orn as well as in "red people. here is 4uite a controversy a$ongst the ancients a"out the signs owned "y Rahu and )etu and signs in which they are e!alted and de"ilitated. or e!a$ple, according to ?ttara Kala$rita an ancient classic on (indu >redictive Astrology Rahu is e!alted in aurus and de"ilitated in Scorpio, vice versa of Ketu. his wor) also assigns the sign A4uarius as owned "y Rahu and Scorpio as owned "y Ketu. Moolatri)ona of Rahu has "een fi!ed as isces as its own Sign. 5t is also "elieved that Rahu acts li)e Saturn and Ketu acts li)e Mars. he art 55 Chapter %ight.

(ffects of the ; Planets in the Twele Houses @ow with this chapter we give effects of various planets in the twelve houses of a horoscope. *e $a)e a start with the effects of the Sun in the irst (ouse or the Ascendant and the re$aining houses. The Sun in the .irst House or Ascendant Sutras /D0/D5f the Sun is posited in the irst (ouse or Ascendant, the native will en'oy good health. (e will "e of "ilious constitution and will suffer fro$ diseases of the eye. (e will "e wise and of good conduct. (e will have acidic sto$ach and will "e "ereft of )nowledge and sense. (e will "e highly intelligent, will spea) less, and will wander away fro$ his native place. (e will "e happy. 5f the Sun is in Aries :that is in his sign of e!altation;, the native will get na$e and fa$e. 5f such Sun is aspected "y "enefics, the native will "eco$e highly learned. 5f the Sun is in de"ilitation :that is, in the sign =i"ra;, the native will "e dignified. (e will, however, "e devoid of learning and power and "e "lind. hese ill effects will not "e felt, if the Sun is aspected "y "enefics :Jupiter or Venus;. 5f the Sun "e in =eo, or =eo @ava$sha, the native will ac4uire lordship over so$e territory. 5f the Sun "e in Cancer, the native will "e )nowledgea"le. (e will, however, suffer fro$ "oils in the "ody. 5f the Sun "e in Capricorn, the native will suffer fro$ heart disease. 5f the Sun "e in >isces, the native will "e su"servient to wo$en. 5f the Sun "e in Virgo, the native will "e father of daughters only. (e will lose his wife and will "e ungrateful. he native will en'oy good health if the Sun "e in his own sign =eo, "ut if the Sun is in association with $alefics or "e in his ene$y7s sign or sign of de"ilitation, the native will suffer fro$ fever in his third year. Such unfavoura"le effects will not "e felt if the Sun is aspected "y "enefics. Co$$entsDhe Sun has "een considered as a $alefic planet in (indu Astrology and as a "enefic "y *esterners. *e feel that a planet who is source of light and life to the universe and who represents the creator +rah$a, should not "e ter$ed as a $alefic planet although there is no dou"t that he is a hot and cruel planet. According to this wor) the Sun in the ascendant gives good health to the native and he is of good conduct. his is "ecause the Sun is a planet signifying vitality and 2Sattva guna2. (e suffers fro$ "ilious diseases "ecause the Sun is "ilious in te$pera$ent. (e suffers fro$ eye diseases and is "ereft of children and )nowledge. his can happen when the Sun is afflicted. he Sun "eing a hot planet and a significator of light and vision can therefore affect those parts of the "ody which give light and vision, na$ely, eyes. 5t is not clear how the Sun who is not a significator of children can deprive the native of progeny unless he is the lord of the 6th house :house of children; and is afflicted "y association or aspect. 5t is said that with the Sun in the ascendant, the native will "e "ereft of )nowledge "ut he will "e highly intelligent. hese two state$ents are contradictory. *e "elieve that the Sun unless is dignified will "estow the native )nowledge and learning. Very favoura"le results have "een attri"uted to the Sun if he is in Aries, that is, his sign of e!altation. his is so "ecause with Aries 2as Ascendant the Sun will "e lord of 6th house :a trinal and very "eneficial house;. Moreover the state of e!altation will provide further dignity to an already "eneficial trinal lord. (e "eco$es learned "ecause the 6th house signifies intellectual capacity and when lord of such a house is well placed in his sign of e!altation, the native will "eco$e highly learned. (e also gets na$e and fa$e "ecause 6th house is Bth to Bth house which signifies high learning, "hagya and prosperity. or the Sun in =i"ra :that is, in his sign of de"ilitation; unfavoura"le results li)e "eing devoid of learning have "een indicated. +ut it is not clear how the author has ta)en the view that the native will "e dignified when the Sun is de"ilitated in the Ascendant. *ith =eo as ascendant, the place$ent of the Sun there is an ideal position for hi$ and naturally very favoura"le results will follow. he Sun in Cancer as ascendant is said to cause "oils in the "ody. he ascendant represents "ody of the native and Cancer "eing a watery sign, the hot effect of the Sun is li)ely to "ring a"out such trou"les. 5n >isces the Sun $a)es the nativeD su"servient to wo$en. he only reason for this can "e the place$ent of the Sun in a fe$ale and dual sign in which he perhaps loses his do$ineering faculty. *hen the Sun is in Virgo in the ascendant the native will have only daughters and will lose his wife. *hen Virgo is ascendant, the Sun will "e lord of /0th house, that is, the house si!th to th :house of wife;. he aspect of the unfavoura"le /0th lord on the th house is li)ely to cause the loss of wife. Virgo "eing a fe$ale sign when containing the Sun is li)ely to give only daughters. 5t is also "elieved that Virgo natives generally get $ore daughters than sons. or the interest of readers we give "elow in "rief the views given in respect of the Sun7s position in the ascendant, "y other recognised classical te!ts9D +rihat Jata)aD5f the Sun occupies the /st house at a person7s "irth he will "e valiant, o"stinate, will have defective eyes and "e cruel hearted. +ut if Aries "e the ascendant, the person will earn hi$self "ut will suffer fro$ eye disease. 5f the Sun "e in =eo, the person concerned will "e night "lind. 5f =i"ra "e the ascendant, the native will "e "lind and poor as well. 5f the ascendant "e Cancer with the Sun in it, the person concerned will have infla$ed eyes. Saravali states the Sun "e in the ascendant the native will "e la3y, of 4uic) te$per, proud, cruel, valiant and unforgiving. (e will have cataract in his eyes if the Sun "e in Cancer. (e will have defective eye sight, if Sun "e in Aries in the ascendant. he Sun in =eo will $a)e the native night "lind. 5f the Sun "e in =i"ra, the native will "e poor and issueless.

Co$$entsD5t is an accepted principle of (indu Astrology that $alefics in upchaya houses, na$ely 1,- /8 and // give "eneficial results. +ut according to the learned author while the Sun will $a)e the native valourous and wealthy, he will destroy "rothers particularly when he is in association with a $alefic when he will also destroy the fa$ily. he third house "eing second to the second house :house of fa$ily; "eco$es a $ara)asthana for the fa$ily and $alefic influence on the third house will cause destruction of the fa$ily. 5t is said that if the Sun is in association with a $alefic, the native will have two $others. he third house "eing /0th to the Gfh house, it will "e the house of loss for the Gth house :house of $other;.

(owever, +hrigu Sutras has e$phasised the necessity of "enefic influence on the Sun and the third house which is logically $aintaina"le. The Sun in .ourth House Sutras G1D68D5f the Sun is in the fourth house, the native will have defective li$"s, he will "e proud, will "e opposed to the pu"lic and will "e hot constitutionally. 5n the 10nd year of his life he will get congenial environ$ents.

(e will have no land of his own and will live in other people7s houses. Co$$entsDD5t is said that the native will have defective li$"s if the Sun is in the fourth. his is a very general state$ent Hur view is that "ecause of $alefic influence of the Sun only that part of the "ody can "eco$e defective which is governed "y the fourth house. he state$ent that the native will do well in the 10nd year of his life and will attain high position etc. can "e verified "y practical e!perience. *e have found it correct in only one case so far. 5t is not clear how after getting a favoura"le turn in his life and attaining a high position, the native will not "e well off financially. >erhaps the Sun will not allow hi$ to accu$ulate wealth, +hrigu SutrasDhas given great i$portance to the position of the lord of the Gth house in delineating its effects. his is a very logical and weighty principle. @o house can prosper unless its lord is well placed. he fourth house signifies native7s own land, own house and his native place. 5n spite of the Sun "eing in the fourth house, if the lord of the Gth house is strong and well placed, the native will en'oy the co$forts of his own land, house and native place. 5f the lord of the Gth is ill placed or is otherwise under $alefic influence, the native will "e deprived of these co$forts. 5t is evident that the Sun alone is not good for the signification of the Gth house. 5t is surprising that +hrigu Sutras $a)es no $ention of the $other of which the Gth house is a strong significator. Hur view is that the $other will suffer "y the presence of the Sun in the Gfh house unless the Sun is in his own sign or has "enefic influence on hi$ or the lord of the Gth and the Moon are well placed. he Sun will also adversely affect the do$estic happiness of the native.

Hnly Manasagari has given "eneficial results with which we respectfully e!press our dissent. 5n our practical e!perience, we have seen Sun in Gth house :without any "enefic influence; playing havoc with the lives of people. Hne Ma)ar =agna :Capricorn  Ascendant; native had Sun in Aries :e!alted; in the Gfh house.

(e will die on account of so$e sto$ach ail$ent. @oteD5t will "e seen that the views e!pressed in the a"ove recognised wor)s tally in essence with those e!pressed in +hrigu Sutras. As we have already stated in our detailed co$$ents a"ove, the adverse results such as loss of children etc. with the Sun in the 6th will "e e!perienced with ascendants other than Aries, aurus, =eo, =i"ra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Hf course adverse results $ay "e e!pected in the case of all the ascendants when the Sun, the fifth house, lord of the 6th and Jupiter are under $alefic influence. he accu$ulation of wealth as $entioned in Cha$at)ar Chinta$ani will happen only when the Sun in the 6th is a functional "enefic. his wor) also says that native will. die fro$ a sto$ach ail$ent. he reasoning "ehind this state$ent is that the 6th house represents a$ongst other things the sto$ach also. he affliction of the 6th house "y the Sun will cause sto$ach ail$ents. The Sun in the Sixth House Sutras 6BD-D5f the Sun is in the si!th house, the native will "elong to lower caste. (e will have $any ene$ies "ut will "e very well off financially. 5n his twentieth year the native will suffer fro$ eye diseases, "ut if the Sun is aspected "y a "enefic, he will not suffer fro$ eye afflictions. he native will wander in 'ungles and will ta)e great interest in chantingL $antras.

Co$$entsDhe Sun is a royal planet and "elongs to high caste "ut when he is placed in the si!th which is a "ad house :&usthana;, the native will "elong to a "ac)ward caste. he si!th house is significator of diseases and ene$ies. 5ll place$ent of the Sun will cause eye diseases :the Sun "eing significator of vision; and growth of ene$ies. Si!th is also an upachaya house where $alefics "ring na$e, fa$e and wealth to the native. he Sun in si!th will give this good "enefit to the native. he Sun is ar significator of $ountains and 'ungles. 5ll place$ent of the Sun will $a)e the native wander in 'ungles, "ut as satva guna planet, the Sun will $a)e the native ta)e interest in chanting $antras to protect hi$self fro$ difficulties. he native will have $ental worries "ecause of ene$ies and ill health. 5t is stated in Sutras -6D-- that if the lord of the si!th is in con'unction with a "enefic the results will "e :a; the native will en'oy good health :-; there will "e an increase of ene$ies. o us these two effects appear to "e contradictory.  As the si!th house signifies ene$ies and diseases, a "enefic influence on the lord of the si!th should decrease the ill effect of "oth diseases and ene$ies.  According to Sutras -D- there will "e destruction of ene$ies if the lord of the si!th is wea). *e entirely agree with this principle. he logic "ehind this principle see$s to "e that if the lord of the si!th is strong, the evil signification of the si!th house will gain strength and there will "e great har$ and trou"le fro$ the ene$ies. 5f the lord is wea), the significations will "eco$e wea) and there will "e destruction of ene$ies or there $ay "e no ene$ies.
