Part -2. March-31-2012 Sri Rama Navami (Saturday)
7) Mars is
exalted in Capricorn ; this undoubtedly makes the person the best of his kind
in marshal arts. This red planet of war
makes him a conqueror and win every battle he fights. Bhoume, kalathre,----, uche,
bala-samyuthe, thasmin viraho paapavasapi = Mars,
occupying the 7th(spouse) house, causes separation--sorrows from his
wife, whole of his life! Mars being
an aggressive malefic in troublesome opposition for Cancer, Lagnam (Ascendant),
spoiled happiness in his married life.
8) Labha-sthitue
Soumya, --- vitha-parayanascha, silpe-anurakthaha, bahu-karma-kartha, ddergha
aayu, arogya dhaha-anvithascha = Mercury - is the key planet of intelligence; it occupies a
friendly sign of Taurus in Laabham (11th house). This gives the person a good grasp of the
world and situations; a great wit and
capability in politics required for a great ruler / king. This enables him to take a quick and right
decision at proper time. Sri Rama, the
incarnation of God Sri Maha Vishnu, this vaishnava (pertaining to Lord Vishnu) planet was of great
help, as it stays in 11th, the house of help and friends (Sugreeva, Hanuman,
Vibhishanaa). Again, this same
benefic planet is the tricky one which brought disaster in his life! Mercury being an enemy of lagna lord Moon,
stays in 11th, the baadhaka (troublesome)
place for the Cancer ascendant. He is
the lord of Vyaya-sthana (house of loss; 12th house) and sodara-sthana brothers
(3rd house) and so the native had to cede his kingdom to his brother Bharata.
At the same time, he had to be in exile for 14 long years. During
the main--period of Mercury , Sri Rama accomplished many difficult tasks;
fought battles and wars; destroyed demons (raakshasas); His wife Sita Devi was
kidnapped, he had to go through hard times in forest encountering demons,
during this Budha-dasa period. He even
had to cross the sea to get back his wife, killing Ravana, the kidnapper. Thus the 90% of great incidents / actions in
Ramayana occurred during these 14 years, when the Maha dasa (main period) of Mercury was in progress for 17 years! It is surprising, this planet which is not
so strong in the chart molded his main life and career! This is a peculiarity. ---------------------------------
9) Vividha sasthra rahasya vichakshana, sukha-jeevana, punya samanvithaha,
savala vallabha-vandhya, su-charithravaan, bhavathi deva-gurua thanu-gehe = Jupiter
- The great preceptor planet which rules all kinds of learning and knowledge is
at his exaltation, giving Sri Rama a
vast and deep knowledge in many branches.
Jupiter is in birth Lagnam (ascendant; also thanu-bhaavam). This is the planet which makes him
well-known and adored for his virtues like keeping his promises, protecting the dharma (justice), monogamy,
love towards all; and destroying the bad,
evil and sin. Again Jupiter is with
Moon, the house lord, also forming a classical Maharaja yoga, Gaja-Kesari
Yoga. This is a great combination for
fame and wealth earned by one's good virtues and is also a strong chakravarti(Emperor) Yoga. Jupiter gives him proficiency in Vedic
knowledge and justice. Above all, this
planet makes him simple but right in his behaviour, thus contributing to most
of the 'right morals' or MARYAADA of the person.
10) Vimala theertha-ratho,
muditha-sada, suravara, dvija bhakthi yutha, suchihi, nija bhja aarjitha bhagya
mahotstho,, bhavathi dharma gathe, bhruguje naraha = Venus
is in bhagya-sthanam (9th house), the place of fortune. Venus is exalted and is connected to
wealth, luxury, happiness, good fortune and pleasures, crowned him an
Emperor! Also he has great respect to
devathas (deities) and brahmins and scholars and maharishis. But, Venus is enemy of Lagna-lord Moon, and a
baadhaka (trouble-giver)
for Cancer ascendant. So Venus caused
turmoil in his life with respect to his WIFE, Smt. Sita Devi. Sri Rama’s real problems started after his
marriage; and his noble and good natured and very beautiful wife became the
cause for his troubles when in exile.
It is obvious that the person derived very less happiness from his wife. All these can be attributed to Venus - the kalatra kaaraka (significator of
spouse). Yet, Venus is in a good place
and strong and so the person possessed strong and pious morals and adhered to
monogamy. Since 9th house
also represents father, he had to suffer early death of his father, King
Dasaratha.
11)
Bandhu-sthithe Bhanu-suthe, narnaam jathasya, nashtaha, kramrohi, bandhanaaha,
sthree, puthra gehe, artha-vinasakasancha, sthanatha yathi sukhna-heenaha = Saturn – occupied, the 4th house (Kendra;
quadrant), Libra; it is his exalted house..
This is a very powerful combination in making Sri Rama an emperor or the
ruler of people. This makes the person
very popular for ever. Strong Saturn
made him possess an excellent knowledge of (sastras) weapons and (asthras)
magic missiles. It is Saturn who gave the
Sir Rama a good endurance, saintly behaviour and non-materialistic austere
mentality. But Saturn is inimical to
Moon and rules Capricorn, the 7th house representing materialistic concept of
SPOUSE. He also rules the 8th house
(randhra) causing many troubles. So,
Saturn caused the separation of Sri Rama from his wife for a long time and
caused a lot of troubles before their re-union. Dharma-Karma-adhipa ava-yoga
(here)
12) Rahu-Kethu: Both Rahu and Ketu are exalted; Rahu is in 6th house (Sathru-sthaanam), in Saggitarius causes what is known as Kodanda Rahu Yoga, a combination which bestows success over enemy, but also causes worst difficulties from his enemies.. This also causes fear of serpents; if carefully examined, there is an event during war where Sri Rama suffers from Sarpa--astra or the Serpent missile shot by Indrajit, the demon Prince. Kethu, the planet of Moksha is in 12th, the house of moksha or the salvation, assuring that Lord Sri Rama was a divine person. Sri Rama entered River Sarayu to attain salvation (avatara-samapthi), after achieving his goals in this world.

13)
Srika yoga :-- Lagna-adi
Kendra-sthane subha-graha sthithe subha-yogadha; yath Srika yoga muchyathe = This occurs
when only natural benefics (like Jupiter, Mercury, Venus or waxing Moon) are
situated in the Kendra houses - comfort,
good luck, riches and abundance. Sri means wealth; ka means
causing. The yoga is stronger if the
benefics are more in number. These
benefics should not be afflicted in any manner (combusted, debilitated, enemy
house, conjunction with malefics etc.)
The
birth lagna has Jupiter (exalted) and waxing Moon (own house). Saturn (exalted in Libra) is in 4th
house is a positional benefic. Kuja
(exalted in Capricorn) is in 7th house is a positional benefic and
the aspect of Jupiter and Moon (7th drushti) and Chandra Mangala
yoga enhanced the beneficial nature. Sun
is (exalted in Aries) in 10th house and is positional benefic. So Srika yoga, betower of immense wealth is
present. ------------
14) Sri Maha Lakshmi yoga :-- There is another Prosperity Yoga called Maha Lakshmi Yoga. Moola
kendra thrikoneshu bhagyake paramochhake
Laganadhipo baladyecha Lakshmee yoga udeerithah = If the 9th lord is powerfully posited,
either in exaltation or own house and is angular (Kendra) or trinal (kona) and
if the Ascendant lord is powerful, Maha Lakshmi yoga occurs. The person has appreciable affluence and is
always above want, respectable, learned,noble, wealthy, will be handsome in
appearance and will possess all the comforts of life.
The
lord of 9th house (Pisces) is Jupiter; he is exalted in birth lagna
(both Kendra and kona) and Rasi-lagna (Moon).
The lord of birth lagna is Moon and he is waxing and is with exalted
Jupiter in his own house. So Sri Rama’s natal chart has this yoga.
15)
Ashta Lakshmi yoga :-- This is a
powerful yoga for the Eightfold Prosperity ( Ashta Laksmi Yoga ). If the North Node (Rahu) is in the 6th
house and if Jupiter is in Kendra house (quadrant) from birth-lagna, then this Ashta Lakshmi Yoga is
formed = Shashta sthana gathe Rahu; Lagna Kendra gathe Gurau; Ashtalakshmee samayuktham ; Madhyavan Keerthiman Nara. The Eightfold Prosperity, whose
symbols are the Eight Lakshmis, the Ashta Lakmis, the Ashta Vasus are : 1) Dhana Lakshmi - Wealth as
prosperity. (2) Dhanya Lakshmi -
Agriculture as prosperity;
3) Dhairya Lakshmi – Courage . (4) Vijaya
Laksmi - Victory 5) Adi
Laksmi - Power
(6) Vidya Laksmi Learning 7) Gaja
Lakshmi Will-Power
(8) Santhana Lakshmi Children as
prosperity
The native born under this yoga, enjoys the Eightfold Prosperity. Rahu and Jupiter should be powerful, however, to confer the full benefits of this yoga.

In the horoscope of Sri Rama, Rahu is in 6th
house (in Sagittarius) forming Kodanda
Rahu yoga. Jupiter is exalted in
birth-lagna (both Kendra and kona). ------------------------
