Part 12 of 28

Cosmic representation of Pisces Ascendant

Meena Lagna

Stanza 1
For a person born in Meena

or Kumbha, Venus in the 12th does not give rise

to any yoga. For a person born in other lagnas,

Venus in the 12th produces benefic results.

Stanza 2
For a person born in Meena

lagna, Sani in the 12th is good. The native

becomes bereft of wealth if the Moon is in the

12th.

Stanza 3
For a person born in Meena, the

yoga referred to earlier becomes reduced in the

sub-period of Moon in the Dasa of Guru.

Astrological Analysis of Pisces

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

The only yoga referred to above is the presence of

Saturn in the 12th. Stanza 3 reads that the yoga becomes

ineffective or reduced in Guru Dasa, Chandra Bhukti.

In other words, for a person born in Meena, Sani's

situation in the 12th or Kumbha results in a yoga and the

indications of this yoga get reduced in the course of Guru

Dasa, Moon's Bhukti. Stanza 3 is not at all clear because

it has not explained how the yoga generated as per stanza 2

becomes obstructed in the Dasa of Guru within the Bhukti

of Chandra.

Stanza 4
A person born in Meena lagna with Jupiter in the 5th will have more daughters and few sons.
Stanza 5
The person will have access to wealth in Chandra Dasa if the Moon is in the 2nd and Mars in the 5th.
Stanza 6
The person will become highly fortunate if Jupiter is in the 6th, Venus in the 8th, Saturn is in the 9th, and Mars and the Moon are in the 11th.
Stanza 7
A person born in Meena will possess wealth and vehicles if the Moon, Mercury and Mars are in Capricorn.
Stanza 8
Predict fortune in Sukra Dasa for one born in Meena lagna if Saturn and the Moon are in lagna, Mars in the 11th and Venus is in the 6th.
Stanza 9
For a person born in Meena, if Mercury, Jupiter, the Moon and Mars except Venus are in the 4th house
Stanza 10
then in the course of the Dasas of these planets (except Venus) he will become crowned as a King and will enjoy much fame
Stanza 11
For a person born in Meena, Rajayoga is certainly caused if the lord of Lagna and 10th, viz. Guru, occupies the 10th
Stanza 12
For a person born in Meena, the Moon in Taurus, the Sun in Leo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Libra and Jupiter in Dhanus.
Stanza 13
Saturn in Aquarius and Mars in the 11th give rise to much fortune. If one or two combinations as per previous stanza are not present,
Stanza 14
the person becomes not only fortunate and of good character but will also get immense fame. This yoga is Brihat Jataka yoga

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

All the stanzas cited after excepting the last three which mean that for a person born in Meena, a great yoga will be caused by the presence of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn in their own houses, and the Moon and Mars in their exaltation houses. Stanza 13 says that if one of the above or two dispositions—the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus or Mars in Capricorn and Mercury in Virgo and 10th aspected—these can then, the full effects of the yoga will be conferred.
