Dhana Yogas
If thelord of the 2ndis in the 5th and thelord of the 5this in the 2nd or if thelord of the 2ndis in the 11th and thelord of the 11this in the 2nd
If thelord of the 5this in the 5th and thelord of the 9this in the 9th the learned in astrology say that much wealth will be earned
Dhana yoga will result if the lords of the 2nd and 11th are combined with lords of the 5th and 9th. If such 2nd and 11th lords are conjoined by other lords (than 5th and 9th) no Dhana yoga will be formed.
Though immense wealth may not result the native will earn some wealth. Thus opine the learned in Astrology.
to 3 are clear enough. Stanza 4 means that if the lords of the 2nd and 11th are combined with other lords than those of the 5th and 9th, the Dhana yoga referred to in Stanza 3 will not manifest itself in full, but there will be access to wealth on a humble scale. The majority of horoscopes belong to this category.
Much wealth will not be acquired if the lords of the 2nd and 11th are combined with the lord of the 12th
In this horoscope Mercury, lord of the 2nd and 11th, is with Moon, lord of the 12th. The native possesses ordinary wealth. There are several afflictions in his horoscope, especially the Dwirdwadasa positions of planets.
Dhana yoga is found if Jupiter is conjoined with the lord of the 2nd and Mercury.
Dhana yoga is also caused if lords of the 11th, the 1st, and the 2nd are in their respective houses.
Learned astrologers say that Dhana yoga would result if both the lords of the 2nd and 11th are in Lagna.
Three more combinations are given in Stanzas 6, 7, and 8 for the acquisition of money, viz., (a) the 11th, 2nd, and 1st lords should be in their respective houses; (b) Jupiter must be
If the different Karakas are present in their respective bhavas, such bhavas lose vitality and give rise to very little of their indications.
This is an important stanza. It says that bhavas will be depleted if they are occupied by their respective Karakas. The Sun is pitru karaka, the indicator of father, the Moon-matru karaka (mother or thakshaka) - Mars-brothers, Mercury-artists or profession, Jupiter-children, Venus-wife, Saturn-longevity, Rahu-maternal relations and Kethu-paternal relations. The math holds rules father and
the Sun is the Karaka of father. If the Sun is in the 9th then, the 9th bhava becomes affected. Karakas in the third affect the brothers and so on. Saturn seems to be an exception as also Jupiter. If Saturn—the Karaka for longevity—is in the 8th—the house of longevity—then instead of reducing the longevity, Saturn confers long life. Similarly, if Jupiter, Karaka for wealth, is in the 2nd, then the 2nd house indications are promoted. These are exceptions to the general rule.
If the Moon, happening to be the lord of the 7th, is in the 2nd, alone, the native gets back his lost wealth.
This is possible only in case of Makara Lagna horoscopes.
Here the author emphasises that the very presence of Moon in the 2nd secures for the native, lost wealth if any. When the seventh lord is in the 2nd it is clear that the person gets money through the 7th house indications such as marriage and business partners.
Kethu Jupiter Moon CHART NO. 18 Lagna Saturn Rahu Sun Mars Venus In Chart No. 18 the Moon, lord of the 7th, is in the 2nd. The native has not lost any wealth; in the first half of the marriage the financial circumstances have improved considerably. Note also the presence of Saturn, Ayush Karaka, in the 8th for Ayush, thus suggesting long life. The author has not referred to modifications of results if the above combination in the
Moon is aspected and otherwise conjuncted. However, it is understood that special and conjunctional peculiarities have a modifying or qualifying influence.
