The Saint and the Scientist (1896 – 1969)
Views of renowned astrologers : 1) Saint-Astrologer Maharshi Parasara (Great grand-father of Pandavas and Kauravas of Mahabharatha epic; father of Maharshi Veda Vyasa) wrote : (sloka = Sanskrit verse) :- BUDHE VYAYA-GATHE, VIMALA-MOORTHY, DHANA-HINA, PARA-KALTHRA, DHANE KUTHIKI, BHAVETH AKSHARA THATH-KARATHAM VRAJETH = IF BUDHA (MERCURY) IS IN 12TH HOUSE, THE PERSON HAS ATTRACTIVE FIGURE / FACE; SUFFERS POVERTY & MISERY; LOSS IN BUSINESS; EARNS BY PLUNDERING THE RICHES, PROPERTIES OF SPOUSE (WIFE / HUSBAND) OF OTHER PERSONS; & WORKS AS A COMPOSER OF LETTERS IN A PRESS OR WRITER (CLERK) IN AN OFFICE. HE/SHE IS A MISER. HE SPENDS FRUGALLY FOR NEEDS ; HE / SHE LOSES PROPERTIES / RICHES DUE TO ENEMIES / COUSINS (JNAATHI). 2) Bhrigu Sutras- by saint-astrologer Maharishi Bhrigu (3500 BC):-- Suthra (76): Jnanavaan; Suthra (77) : Vitharana-seeli; Suthra (78) : Paapa-graha yuthe Chanchala-chitha; Suthra (79) : Nrupa-jana dveshi; Suthra (80) : Subha-graha-yuthe, subha-moolena dhana vyayaha; Suthra (81) : Svalpa-vidyavaan = The native will be learned. He will be fond of distributing things to others. If Mercury is associated with malefics, the native will have an unstable mind and he will have bitterness towards the king. If Mercury is associated with benefics, the native will incur expenditure on religious charities and will have meager education.
Explanation : - The twelfth is a house of loss or expenditure (Vyaya Bhava). The only good that the benefic Mercury does is to make the native spend money on religious charities and distribute articles of necessity to the needy.
Other Views
3) Brihath Jataka by Varhamihira (325 AC) :-- The person concerned will suffer degradation.
4) Phala-deepika by Manthreswara :-- The person will be poor, lazy, cruel and without any education. He will also suffer humiliation.
5) Saravali by Maha-Raja Kalyana Varma (10th century A.C; king of Vyaghrapaada kingdom) :-- The person will be true to his words, lazy, humiliated, orator, poor and cruel.
6) Chamatkara Chintamani by Narayana Bhatt (5th century AC) :-- The native will entertain Brahmins and create fear in the mind of enemies.
7) Jataka Kalanidhi : JNANAVAAN, RAVI-YUTHE CHALA-CHITHAHA, BAGU-PRIYA-VARAHAA, KAAMA ATHURAA, ALPA-PUTHRA, ANYA-GRUHA-NIVAASI, MAATHRU-HANTHAA = When Budha is in 12th house, the person is very wise, if Ravi (Sun) is associated with Budha in the 12th house, he is mentally derailed; many people like him; very lusty ; his desire for women is insatiable; he has few children, he lives in others (rented) houses only, and he may murder his mother. 8) Jataka Manjusha by Panditha Rayalu (15 century AC) :- The person is lazy and as a result he may lack of wealth. He meets with failures. He speaks good words but will be devoid of luck in general. Even though this position of Mercury is adverse, it is good from the perspective of education. He is blessed with all the benefits that accrue from education, learning and wisdom.
My views :-Adverse results have been attributed to Mercury in the 12th house (vyaya; loss) by all the above astrologers.
