Kumbha Lagna
The learned in Astrology have said that for persons born in Kumbha and Simha lagnas no particular yoga is caused by the mere combination of the lords of the 9th and 10th.
For a person born in Kumbha, if Venus is in lagna, the Sun is in the 10th and Rahu is in Aquarius, yoga will be caused in the Dasas of Rahu and Guru.
For a person born in Kumbha lagna, if the Sun and Mars are in the 8th, sorrow will be caused in their Dasas. But during Budha Dasa, good will result.
For a person born in Kumbha, if Jupiter is in lagna and Saturn is in the 2nd, mixed results will be produced in Guru Dasa and no good will be produced in Sani Dasa.
Sukra gives rise to yoga in his Dasa if Saturn and Venus are in the 11th house.
For a person born in Kumbha, if the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are in the 3rd, the Sun becomes beneficial and capable of conferring political power.
The author has stressed on the negative value of the association of lords of 9 and 10 in producing Raja yoga, if Kumbha has ownership of the 10th, devoid of corresponding ownership of a trinal house. We have to humbly differ from the author because the combination of the lords of the 9th and 10th has been found to produce quite auspicious
results in actual practice. Moreover, the author of Jatakachintamani inclines to the view that combination of Sun and Kuja produces Raja yoga (vide Jatakachintamani English translation by Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao). Parashara has clearly stated in his Brihat Parashara Hora that Venus alone is a subha for Sunartha yoga (Indra Dhanus Yoga) and further says that Mars produces Raja yoga. We do not know what prompted the author of this book to observe that the mere combination of the lords of 9 and 10 does not produce any good. Probably he implies that the combination to be productive of good should occur in certain beneficial houses.
The Parivarthana yoga implied in stanza 4 about Jupiter being in lagna and Saturn being in the 2nd deserves our careful attention. Instead of Saturn being in the 2nd, if he
consideration of its disposition both in the Rasi and Navamsa.
From the Moon, Saturn owns the 9th and 10th houses and
aspects the 2nd house. Hence, the Dasa of Saturn will be
