Astrological Analysis of Virgo

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

Here is a combination which suggests that a planet who is the lord of 12th or the house of loss gives access to wealth under certain conditions. As the Sun happens to be the lord of 12th for Kanya he cannot give independent results. He partakes of the results of the planets he is in conjunction with or aspected by. As Venus is lord of the 2nd and the 9th and the Moon is the lord of the 11th, the Sun gives results pertaining to wealth, fortune and gains. It is such combinations which are elusive in their nature and escape the notice of students of Astrology.

Stanza 2
The person becomes bereft of wealth in Sukra Dasa. Mixed results will happen in the course of Chandra Dasa.

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

Here evil results are predicted in the course of Sukra Dasa provided Sukra is connected with the Sun by conjunction or aspect as given in the preceding stanza.

As Venus is the natural enemy of the Sun, and as the Sun becomes beneficial to produce good results, Venus probably becomes deprived of the good results he would have produced pertaining to the 2nd and 9th houses if he were not connected with the Sun either by aspect or by conjunction. The evil results ascribed for Venus Dasa should not be predicted if Venus is not subject to conjunction or aspect of the Sun.

Stanza 3
A person born in Kanya, with the Moon and Venus in the 7th, Jupiter in the 11th and the Sun in Aries will, during the Dasas of Guru and Sukra:—
Stanza 4
Possess 4 or 5 wives who will be alive. And one born in Kanya will also possess women of high rank.

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

This is a difficult combination because it says that a person born in Kanya with the Moon and Venus in the 7th, Jupiter in the 11th and the Sun in Aries, will possess 4 or 5 wives in the course of dasas of Guru and Sukra. The combination is indeed rare. Three planets are exalted—Venus in the 7th, Sun in the 8th and Jupiter in the 11th. The combination can be adopted to suit modern times and conclusions to the extent that a person born with planets disposed as stated above will have a romantic life.

Stanza 5
For one born in Kanya, Guru and Sukra in the 4th produce yoga in the course of their dasas.

Commentary & Analysis by B.V. Raman

Guru or Jupiter happens to be lord of 4th while Venus is lord of 9th. Thus the combination of the lords of the 4th and 9th—a quadrant and a trine respectively, results in Raja yoga and the planets therefore are empowered to give good results in the course of their dasas and bhuktis. In actual practice it is found that Venus Dasa will be more beneficial than that of Jupiter, because Jupiter becomes afflicted, being lord of a kendra.

Stanza 6
A person born in Kanya lagna will enjoy beneficial results in the course of Saturn’s dasa provided Saturn is in the 11th.
