A popular example for this last point is Mahatma Gandhi.

He had a lone moon in the 10th accompanied with Rahu.

But exceptions to Kemadruma are there in his horoscope
with benefics in moons Kendras. Moon also happens to be
the10th lord positioned in the 10th. Moon is the sub-lord of
the 5th cusp. In addition, he had Kalpadruma yoga which
made him like a king. In spite of all these remedial, we can
see the bad times happening in the sub periods of moon
and related planets. Let see us take a look at his chart.
LAGNA CHART
NAVAMSA CHART

Moon is in the asterism of the 12th lord mercury. We have

to see other planets in the asterism of moon and mercury.
They are sun and ketu (in moons asterism) and Saturn (in
mercurys asterism) and Rahu (in whose star, mercury is
posited). So the periods of moon, mercury, sun, ketu, rahu
and Saturn will have the impact of kemadruma to some
extent because the kalpadruma and other exceptions
safeguarded the native to a larger extent.
Gandhiji had moon dasa from 1905 to 1915 during which
time he experienced repression from the South African
government. He was still an unknown entity to outside
world during this dasa. He rose to prominence only after
this dasa ended. After the end of moon dasa he came back
to India and launched his tirade against the British. The
main period of moon prepared him for his agenda because
mercury as the 9th lord (Moon in Aslesha), prepared him for
the dharmic war. The exceptions to kemadruma in tandem
with kalpadruma did not dent his image as a king or
supreme man. But moon dasa as such, did not propel him
to that status. That status came to him after the end of
moon dasa. That is the limited way, a lone moon could
react.

However if we look at the sufferings he had in the course of

his karma (10th House significance), they have happened in
the sub-periods of moon or mercury. He was arrested for
Civil disobedience movement in Mars- moon period. In
Rahu Rahu period (Mercury in Rahus star), he was
released from prison to undergo appendicitis operation. His
wife died in Jupiter Saturn period (Jupiters sub lord was
moon and Saturn was in.

Mehta says Ascendant is the foundation of the

horoscope. Native having strong ascendant lord
indicate birth in wealthy family. I can say that he has
won the half battle of life and rest half is to be fought.
There is no doubt that if 9th lord is weak, native will
not succeed to win this half battle. In short, weak 9th
lord weakens the strong ascendant lord. Therefore
ascendant lord is not given as much importance as 9th
lord.

Following is the horoscope of Late Prime Minister of India

Lagna Rashi Chart

Navamsha D9 Chart

Chart 11 is the horoscope of the first Prime Minister of

India. The Lagna is Cancer in Rasi (D-l) chart and Aquarius
is Navamsa. Cancer made him sensitive emotional, novel,
affectionate and a good planner with a good sense of value
and economy while Aquarius made him strong willed,
intelligent and scientific in his outlook. He was a good
author and produced great gems like the 'Discovery of
India' etc.
He had a strong memory, a good education with higher
studies in a foreign land etc. The Lord of the ascendant (viz.
Moon) is in the ascendant producing intelligence and
setting the stage for a Mahapurush Yoga due to the
blessings of the Sun God. The sign dispositer of the Moon
is the Moon itself reinforcing the Mahapurush yoga while
the constellation is Aslesha ruled by Mercury (Vimsottari
dasa scheme). Mercury is in the fourth house with the
fourth Lord Venus (Malavya Mahapurush Yoga) and
indicating the blessings of parents, properties, education,
charm and working with a missionary zeal. He belonged to
one of the most elite families of British India. His father
Sri Moti Lal Nehru was a great lawyer with vast properties,
vehicles etc. and played a crucial role in guiding his
fortunes.
What was the activity requiring Missionary zeal?
We find the infamous Kalamrita Yoga in the horoscope with
Ketu (rebellion, revolt) in the lead that is destroyed by
Jupiter's conjunction to form Mahapadma Yoga. He was a
zealous freedom fighter and had to undergo imprisonment
a number of times before finally freeing India and becoming
the first Prime Minister.
The Lagnesh Moon is also the atmakarak setting the stage
for self-actualisation and is in Jupiterian Navamsa
activating the Mahapadma Yoga. Being in Lagna, the
Rajyoga will function only in latter life.
The Sun in the fifth house also indicates that the middle
part of life will be very difficult and that a child (Indira
Gandhi) will have powerful Rajyogas.
The lagna has unobstructed argala of the sun. The
Varnada Lagna in the second house is in Leo confirming
the Rajyogas. The Arudha Lagna is in Aries as its Lord
Mars is in the sixth from it showing that the status in life
will not be easily achieved and that enemies would have to
be overcome. However Mars aspects the Arudha Lagna to
indicate ultimate success.
Saturn and Rahu cause Papakartari yoga on Lagna
indicating defeat and bondage as well as loss of reputation.

*Periods considered from Rahu/Ketu respectively.

The Narayana Dasa sign should be treated as the Lagna. If

the dasas are reckoned from the Lagna, then the dasa rasi
itself be treated as the temporary Lagna. If instead the
dasas are reckoned from the seventh house, the seventh
from dasa rasi should be treated as the temporary Lagna. In
chart 11, the Lagna is stronger than the seventh house.
The Narayan Dasas are given in Table 4.1.
The Ghatika Lagna is in Taurus and is aspected by
Capricorn, Libra and Cancer. The Ghatika Lagna
represents the power and authority to be weiled and is vital
in the horoscope of a politician. Capricorn has powerful
Mahapurush yogas in quadrants, Rahu in 6th house,
giving victories Mars in 9th giving energy. The antardasas
begin from Leo (occupied by Saturn) and are not regular
but jump to every sixth house. In general, the antardasas
begining from Saturn should be regular, but not in Leo as
Saturn cannot dominate over the Sun. During Capricorn
-Cancer (Oct 1929 March 1930)
Nehru become the president of the Indian National
Congress and declared complete independence as the goal.

(Moon as Lagnesh in Lagna very independent and free).

Note the Guru-KetujMahapadama Yoga in Sagittarius.

On 26.1.1930, the Moon was in Sagittarius in Mula
(Ketu) star. Similarly the famous Dandi March started in
12.3.1930 when the Moon was in Cancer. This period was
vital in bringing Nehru to the center stage of national
politics. Imprisonment occurred in the next antardas
Capricorn-Sagittarius (Mar 1930-Aug 1930) as Rahu is in
Badhak and the luminaries occupy the 8th & 12th houses.
Sagittarius houses the 'rebel' combinations aspected by
Mars and Rahu. The subsequent Sagittarius dasa (1931-
43) generally saw a tough struggle with Nehru becoming
President of INC in 1936 (Sagittarius - Scorpio) and1937
(Sagittarius-Cancer) due to the strength of the Luminaries
and the signs either aspecting Ghatika Lagna or the
seventh from it.
The dasa of Libra (1944-56) was the period of Rajyoga as it
houses the Malavya yoga, Mercury (star dispositor of
Lagnesh ) and aspects Ghatika lagna while being in the
seventh from Arudha and Hora Lagna. In Libra - Scorpio
Nehru became the head of the Interim Cabinet (Sept 1946)
and finally secured the Independence of India in Libra-
Sagittarius.
Both Mahapadma yoga and Guru-chandala yoga
functioned simultaneously as one gave independence to
India and made Nehru its first Prime Minister while the
other partitioned the sub-continent causing rioting and
mass slaughter. The most affected were the two areas of
Guru viz Punjab (Sagittarius) and Bengal (Pisces) as well as
Delhi. Although his political mentor Gandhi ji passed away
in the next antardasa, the star of Nehru (viz Moon) was in
the tenth house (success) up to 1956. The subsequent dasa
of Virgo with Mars saw his popularity decline and his
death.
Thus, the ascendant (and its movement as per Narayan
Dasas) plays a key role in delineating the major
events/trend of the chart.

Lagna Rashi Chart

Navamsha D9 Chart

Chart 13 is the horoscope of the melody queen of India who

has to her credit the largest number of recorded songs.
Jupiter rising close to the cusp of ascendant does give a
melodious voice. She is of short stature, full face with small
eyes and a short neck. The face is lustrous. She was
slimmer in youth.
She is a very good artist and is determined, practical and
elegant Almost all physical and mental attributes of the
sign Taurus are to be found in this chart as Venus also
dominates the Arudha Lagna and the atmakrak Jupiter is
in Taurus. Jupiter conjoining the ascendant both in Rasi
and Navamsa gives brilliance which is seen in her music.
The Moon in the fifth from Navamsa Lagna produces a good
singer. Certain, leonine traits of pride, leadership, cheerful
jovial disposition, responsible & dutifulness etc are also
seen due to the navamsa Lagna . In general, the health is
good as the atmakarak Jupiter is in Lagna both in Rasi
and Navamsa.
In the words of Mr. Ketan Popat he says that 7th lord Mars
is placed in the 6th house. Kethu in conjunction with Mars
is not beneficial for marital happiness.
Rahu in the third house indicates an enormously
strong will and an interesting personality. The person is
courageous and adventurous. He/she works well with
his/her hands, has intense cravings, and fulfills his/her
desires easily. The Ketu in the ninth house may
indicate troubles with religious or spiritual leaders. Or
the person may have a guru or mentor who is strange,
weird, occultist, extremely introverted, or invisible in a
way or whom the native is unable to decipher or
understand easily.

Example-Following is the chart of Tabla Maestreo Ustad

Zakir Husain.

Birth 09-03-1951
A very powerful Rajayoga is caused in the Lagna.
Moon + Jupiter's Yoga is greatly auspicious combination
and so is Mars + Jupiter's. Trikonas are the houses of merit
and all the Trikona lords in this chart are in the Lagna.
Thus, counting from the Lagna the evil and auspicious
nature of the planets arising out of their rulership of
various houses have been told. But other aspects such as
Nabhasa yogas etc. are also to be considered then only the
results should be proclaimed.
Readers are thus reminded that the placements,
combinations, aspects of the planets are all very important
features to be considered while judging the auspiciousness
and evil. These are available generally in all the texts of
Hindu astrology. What has been told in this work is an
addition to decide characteristics of various planets
according to their house ruler ship. It must be clear that
Parasara does not want the rules stated here to be used
verbatin without considering the placement etc. In the
judgement of Marakas etc one has to exercise utmost
caution in every respect.
Thus the wise man should understand the good and bad
results in respect of the twelve houses. The results in
respect of the twelve houses from the Lagna onwards
should be carefully combined together.
In this way a wise man should understand the results of
the planets in a horoscope in every possible way. The
combination of the lords of Trikona and Kendra houses are
capable of producing all types of auspicious results.
Notes-The horoscope gives details about every aspect of
Ones life. For results of one's brother, consider the 3rd
house as Lagna. The 9th there from will be the
Bhagyasthana for the brother. The 7th there from would
denote his wife. The 10th there from, his profession.
Similarly we can apply the rules of Yogakarakas etc.The
same can be repeated with other houses of the horoscope
and information can be gained about every aspect of life.

In the chart of Mrs Kiran Bedi, the reformist police officer,

Venus the 9th house lord and Mercury the 10th house lord
are in house exchange which is a great Raja yoga known
Dharmakarmadhipatya Yoga The Dasas of Mercury
commenced on 9-6-1966 and during this Dasa she became
an I.P.S. officer. She is considered to be one of the ablest
police officer in police service.

DOB 15/02/1967
The chart hereunder is of a woman born in very humble
circumstances Due to potential of the chart the girl was
brought up in a well to do family of his father's friend. She
did not have much education. The girl was married to a
millionaire of her caste simply due to the potential of the
chart. The Lagna lord Moon is in the 10th house aspected
by the 1Oth lord and Rajayogakaraka Mars. She is under
the Moon's Dasa since 28-10-1995.
As she is not a working lady, therefore the results of
Rajayoga occur to her through her husband. Her husband
is making' steady progress in business since the start of
her Moon's Dasa. Hamsa yoga is also present due to
exaltation of Jupiter in the Lagna.
Example- The lady of the following chart enjoyed some of
The Yoga like public acceptance and social honour till her
husband was alive. This was due to house exchange
between the 9th and 1Oth house lords Saturn and Jupiter.

DHIRUBHAI AMBANI

Astrological Obser vations

This is Sagittarius, a fiery sign lagna kundli. Such people are also
pushing, ambitious and have high aspirations. Dhiru Bhai
Ambani was known as an idol of aspiring entrepreneurs and
An efficient businessman of courage and determination. Born
In Poorva Sadha nakshtra, he was peace loving, far sighted,
fortunate and wealthy. He left a big business kingdom for his
sons. Now they are extending it with new dimensions.

l.Lagna considerations:

Lagnesh, Chandra lagnesh and Surya lagnesh Jupiter the

owner of all lagna s (Sudarshan lagna) is situated in 10th
house and influences lagna.
In Navansh kundli it is also located in 1 O t h house hence a good
position of Jupiter. Therefore Lagna is triple times
powerful in his birth chart.
It is extremely activated. Venus, the significator of wealth
