The 10th is authority, place, livelihood, honour, the father and living abroad (BPHS 11. · Solar month (saura māsa)
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'.
The solar month runs from one saṅkrānti to the next - Sūrya Siddhānta XIV.3 names 'the propitious period of the sun's entrance into a sign', and XIV.10 makes the twelve such months the year. The boundary here is the ingress INSTANT; the four regional rules for which CIVIL day the month begins on disagree by up to two days and are computed separately.
The 10th is authority, place, livelihood, honour, the father and living abroad (BPHS 11.11). Phaladeepika 15.17 gives it four kārakas - Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn - the strongest multi-valued cell in the table; Saturn also carries livelihood at 15.16.
authority, place, livelihood and profession, honour, the father, living in foreign lands, and debts
genius, wealth, bodily development, children and knowledge
the self, the father, influence, health, vigour and fortune
learning, relatives in general, discernment, the maternal uncle, friends, speech and action
length of life, livelihood, the cause of death, adversity and servants
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.
sorrow, loss of wealth, quarrel with one's friends and fever
the native will not be able to reap the fruits of any good actions
Vipareeta vedha from house 6 - active (Rahu). Saturn never obstructs the Sun - Phaladeepika 26.3 gives the reason: there is no vedha between a father and his son.
“the person will gain his object only by the adoption of just and proper means and not otherwise”
Phaladeepika 26.9-11
sorrow, loss of wealth, quarrel with one's friends and fever
Prasna Marga XXII.2-4
the native will not be able to reap the fruits of any good actions
Where the recensions differ, the difference is the data - they are never merged into a third sentence that no text contains.
Chandrāṣṭama: 2026-09-01, 2026-09-02
The lattā and adverse-tārā days were not counted for this window - both are reckoned from the birth star, which a sign alone cannot supply. See “what this page cannot compute” below.
This is a summary over 31 sample days taken every 1 - it contains no sentence the daily rule has not already said.
| Graha | Sign | House | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | Leo | 12 | Unfavourable, with relief (vipareeta vedha) vipareeta vedha from house 6 - active (Rahu) 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 1. The disagreement is the data. |
| Moon | Aries | 8 | Unfavourable, with relief (vipareeta vedha) vipareeta vedha from house 11 - active (Jupiter) |
| Mercury | Leo | 12 | Unfavourable, with relief (vipareeta vedha) vipareeta vedha from house 11 - active (Jupiter) |
| Venus | Virgo | 1 | Favourable, but obstructed (vedha) vedha from house 8 - active (Moon) |
| Mars | Gemini | 10 | Unfavourable Neither a vedha nor a relief is possible for this graha in this house - a real feature of the tables, not missing data. |
| Jupiter | Cancer | 11 | Favourable, but obstructed (vedha) vedha from house 8 - active (Moon) |
| Saturn(R) | Pisces | 7 | Unfavourable Neither a vedha nor a relief is possible for this graha in this house - a real feature of the tables, not missing data. 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 | 6 | Favourable vedha from house 9 - that house is unoccupied |
| Ketu(R) | Leo | 12 | 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 8 from your janma rāśi - Candra Bala is not 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 the 8th from your janma rāśi. Kālaprakāśikā says nothing auspicious or important should be begun in that window.
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.
