Part 4 of 28
Karkataka Lagna
Guru does not cause any special yoga for one born in Karkataka lagna. But Budha is productive of yoga for a person born in Makara.
Kuja becomes yogakaraka for a person born in Cancer because he owns the 5th and 10th houses.
Venus causes yoga if he is placed either in the 12th or in the 2nd house. In other places he will not produce any yoga.
A person born in Karkataka lagna will become wealthy and fortunate if Kuja, Guru and the Moon are in the2nd houseand the Sun and Venus are in the5th house.
For a person born in Karkataka, if Mercury and Venus are in the 5th, Mercury will produce yoga in the course of his dasa.
If Mercury, Venus and the Moon are in the 11th house, Jupiter in the ascendant and Saturn in the 10th.
Guru, though lord of 9 for Karkataka lagna, will not produce Rajayoga while Budha produces Rajayoga for Makara lagna. In both these cases, the planets in question own the 6th and 9th houses,—but why should Budha cause yoga? The explanation is simple. In respect of Budha, along with the 9th lordship, exaltation place is also combined while this is not the case in reference to Guru.
If you examine carefully several horoscopes of persons born in Karkataka lagna, you will invariably find that Jupiter in his Dasa has given rise to both good and bad results—bad in respect of debts, disease and enemies. Though Guru may not cause Rajayoga in the strict sense, he has promoted the business and professional prospects mainly of the native, at the same time causing misunderstandings, trouble, annoyances and ill health.
Venus in the 12th or 2nd gives rise to a benefic yoga. Venus is lord of the 4th and 11th and his presence in the 2nd, though in an inimical house, is approved by the author.

Ketu The subject of Chart No. 6 is short, strong, nervous, extremely sensitive and dark in complexion. The native is unintriguing, mercurial, mean and undignified and callous. There are several malefic combinations in this horoscope and we are concerned with only two points, viz: Cancer rising as lagna and Venus being placed in the 2nd. The native lived decently and also acquired Venus Jupiter
A person born in Karkataka lagna will become rich if the Sun and Kuja are in the 10th house. Death will occur in the course of Guru Dasa.
A person born in Karkataka lagna will enjoy Raja yoga in the course of Sukra Dasa if Budha and Sukra are in the 12th house.
For a person born in Karkataka the combination of Chandra and Guru in Lagna results in a Raja yoga. This makes him fortunate and famous.
Raja yoga is also caused if Chandra is in lagna and Kuja is in Makara.
If Chandra is in lagna and Sani is in Tula, then also Raja yoga is produced.
Raja yoga results if Chandra is in lagna and the Sun is in Mesha.
If Chandra and Kuja are in lagna, the Sun and Budha are in the 4th, and Sukra is in the 11th —
The native loses wealth in the course of the Sun’s Dasa while in other dasas he will enjoy good results.
The native will surely have dips in the Ganges in Rahu Dasa if Guru and Budha are in the 11th and Sani and Rahu are in the 5th.
These nine stanzas give several Raja yogas and they need no explanation as the stanzas are quite simple.
