Two houses, deliberately. · Day (vāra)
This reading is reckoned from your MOON sign - the sign the Moon occupied at your birth - and not from your Sun sign. Phaladeepika 26.1 says that of all the lagnas it is the Moon's alone that governs a transit reading, and every reading in Bṛhat Saṁhitā chapter 104 is worded 'from the sign occupied by the Moon at the time of birth'.
No place was supplied, so the civil calendar day stands in for the vāra. Sūrya Siddhānta XIV.18 puts the true boundary at sunrise.
The lord of this day is Sun - Sūrya Siddhānta I.51's day-lord.
Two houses, deliberately. The 5th is the classical house of romance through Phaladeepika 15.16's love affairs, and the 7th is the spouse (BPHS 11.8). Venus is the 7th's kāraka and Jupiter the 5th's (15.17).
protective amulets, sacred formulae, learning and knowledge, children, authority, and the fall of one's position
the spouse, travel, trade, loss of sight, and death
the spouse, vehicles, ornaments, love affairs and pleasures
genius, wealth, bodily development, children and knowledge
Phaladeepika 15.25 wants the bhāva, its lord and its kāraka to be strong together, and 15.2's answer is already three-valued - ample, decays, or mixed. No score, no percentage.
Only a sign was supplied, so the bhāva-strength and bhāva-lord legs cannot be formed and the verdict is “insufficient input” - not filled in by guesswork.
The topic reading is taken inside this window, so the window itself is shown here too.
“the person's own beautiful wife will not be of use to him”
Phaladeepika 26.9-11
fear, and diseases; he will be drawn to a quarrel; he will incur royal displeasure and suffer also from excessive heat
Prasna Marga XXII.2-4
repulsion for women and from women and fear from the rulers and diseases
Where the recensions differ, the difference is the data - they are never merged into a third sentence that no text contains.
Sun in the 8th signals sudden changes; proceed with care. Moon in the 6th helps you overcome obstacles and rivals. Mercury in the 8th supports research, depth and shared resources. Venus in the 10th asks for care with authority and reputation. Mars in the 6th helps you overcome obstacles and rivals. Jupiter in the 7th supports relationships and partnerships. Saturn in the 3rd boosts courage, communication and personal effort. Saturn is retrograde — review and reflect on communication and efforts. Rahu in the 2nd asks you to watch spending and speech. Rahu is retrograde — review and reflect on finances and family matters. Ketu in the 8th signals sudden changes; proceed with care. Ketu is retrograde — review and reflect on shared resources and change.
The favourable/adverse call behind every sentence comes from Phaladeepika 26.2's table; the sentences themselves are AstroZivi's own prose. The table below carries the same verdicts with vedha and vipareeta vedha attached.
| Graha | Sign | House | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | Leo | 8 | Unfavourable Neither a vedha nor a relief is possible for this graha in this house - a real feature of the tables, not missing data. |
| Moon | Gemini | 6 | Favourable vedha from house 12 - that house is unoccupied |
| Mercury | Leo | 8 | Favourable vedha from house 1 - that house is unoccupied |
| Venus | Libra | 10 | Unfavourable vipareeta vedha from house 4 - that house is unoccupied |
| Mars | Gemini | 6 | Favourable vedha from house 9 - that house is unoccupied |
| Jupiter | Cancer | 7 | Favourable, but obstructed (vedha) vedha from house 3 - active (Saturn) |
| Saturn(R) | Pisces | 3 | Favourable vedha from house 12 - that house is unoccupied The two texts disagree on ripening: Phaladeepika 26.25 makes it not yet ripe in decanate 2, and Bṛhat Saṁhitā 104.49-50 makes it ripe in half 2. The disagreement is the data. |
| Rahu(R) | Aquarius | 2 | Unfavourable Neither a vedha nor a relief is possible for this graha in this house - a real feature of the tables, not missing data. |
| Ketu(R) | Leo | 8 | Unfavourable Neither a vedha nor a relief is possible for this graha in this house - a real feature of the tables, not missing data. |
“Unfavourable, with relief” is still unfavourable. No source quantifies the relief, so it is a state and never a number.
“When the Sun passes through the 6th, 3rd and 10th signs from the sign occupied by the Moon at the time of birth of a person, the effects will be benefic; when the Moon passes through the 3rd, 6th, 10th, 7th, and 1st signs from the Moon, the effects will also be benefic; when Jupiter passes through the 7th, 9th, 2nd and 5th signs or when Mars and Saturn pass through the 6th and 3rd signs or when Mercury passes through the 6th, 2nd, 4th, 10th and 8th signs from the Moon, the effects will be benefic. But when Venus passes through the 7th, 6th and 10th signs from the Moon, the effects will be malefic. All the planets produce benefic effects when they pass through the 11th house from the Moon.”
The transiting Moon stands in house 6 from your janma rāśi - Candra Bala is favourable.
This is not a separate doctrine: it is the Moon's own row of the same gochara table, and it is independently attested at Bṛhat Saṁhitā 104.4.
The transiting Moon is in house 6 from your janma rāśi, not the 8th.
This is the ungraded flag. Kālaprakāśikā XXXIV divides it into six named kinds - that grading needs a janma nakṣatra, which a sign alone cannot supply.
“Though a planet might be benefic to a person, he produces benefic effects only according to the nature of the Dasa periods and the rank of the person in life, just in the same way as the quantity of rain falling into a small cup cannot but be small though the rain be excessive.”
Though a planet might be benefic to a person, he produces benefic effects only according to the nature of the Dasa periods and the rank of the person in life, just in the same way as the quantity of rain falling into a small cup cannot but be small though the rain be excessive.
From a single rāśi the whole gochara table, vedha, vipareeta vedha, Candra Bala, Chandrāṣṭama and the saṅkrānti month all follow. The layers below do not, and each says what it would need. None is filled in by guesswork.
A rāśi spans 2.25 nakṣatras, so everyone born under this sign falls under one of three adjacent birth stars - and each gives a different tārā. Which of the three applies to you depends on your birth star, which this reading was not given. All three are shown; none is picked.
