Part 5 of 28
Simha Lagna
For a person born in Simha lagna, if the Sun, Mercury and Mars are conjoined together, good wealth is indicated.
If the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are combined together, good wealth is indicated.
If the Sun and Mercury are in conjunction, the native will enjoy some fortune.
The learned in Astrology say that for a person born in Simha lagna, Jupiter and Venus do not produce any yoga. On the other hand, they cause destruction of the yoga.
For a person born in Simha lagna, Venus becomes a benefic in the 3rd house; he becomes a malefic in the 10th. Therefore, Sukra can produce no yoga.
The subject gains much wealth and fortune in Budha dasa if the Sun, Mercury and Mars are in lagna.
Sani causes yoga in his dasa if Kuja and Sani are in the 12th. This is certain.
The Sun, Mercury and Mars are said to give rise to wealth if in mutual combination. The Sun is lord of lagna, Mercury lord of wealth and Mars is of course yogakaraka.
Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. Jupiter is lord of 5th. Therefore his association is also permissible. If the Sun and Mercury are combined some fortune is granted while Mars stepping in gives immense fortune. As Jupiter and Venus are lords of the 8th and 3rd, their combination is not conducive to prosperity. Venus in the 3rd is good while in the 10th he is as bad as he owns a Kendra besides being located there. Sun in the 12th with Kuja is good. Thus it will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born in Simha lagna, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions.
