Part 3 of 28
Mithuna Lagna
For a person born in Mithuna
lagna, if the Sun and Mercury are placed in the
3rd house, Mercury will surely produce yoga in
his Dasa besides giving rise to beneficial results.
If Venus, Mars, and the Moon are
in the second, during Sukra Dasa there will be ac-
cess to wealth for a person born in Mithuna lagna.
For one born in Mithuna, if Mars
is in the second and the Moon and Saturn are in
the 8th, then during the Dasa of Saturn —
Saturn will give mixed results.
Mars will undoubtedly give rise to Dhanayoga
in his Dasa.
If Mars and Saturn are in the 2nd
and the Moon is in the 8th, then when the Dasas
of Saturn and Mars commence —
The native loses wealth and
property will be destroyed, but still he will retain
some money.
The Moon, who is the lord of the
2nd, does not become a Maraka for a person born
in Mithuna lagna. This is undoubted.
A powerful Dhanayoga will be caused for a person born in Mithuna Lagna if the Moon and Mars are in the 11th and Saturn is in the 9th.
The native will have dips in Ganges and other sacred rivers in the dasas of Guru and Sani provided these planets are in the 9th house.
If Mercury is in the 11th house the native will have misunderstandings with his eldest brother.
The combinations are clear and can be easily understood by the readers. Kuja is a malefic for Mithuna Lagna but according to Stanza 4 one will have access to wealth in Kuja Dasa if Mars is in the 2nd and Saturn and the Moon are in the 8th. This means that Mars will be in debilitation and also implies presence of Neechabhanga (by virtue of the Moon, lord of 2, aspecting the 2nd and also Saturn, lord of 9th), otherwise Kuja cannot give financial prosperity. Stanza 6 makes it clear that if Mars and Saturn are in the 2nd and the Moon is in the 8th, the wealth will be destroyed in Mars Dasa. The differentiation in disposition for giving wealth and taking away wealth is that for the former result Saturn must be in the 8th with the Moon while Mars should be in the 2nd, and for the latter the Moon must be in the 8th while Saturn and Mars must be in the 2nd. The centre of gravity is Saturn. He will destroy the indications of the 2nd if he is present there.
These are indeed unique combinations and call for much power of analysis on the part of the reader to understand their proper implication.
says that the Moon and Mars in the 11th and Saturn in the 9th give rise to immense wealth.
