Bhoga/Paaka in D6 for Disease Timing & Navamsha as Protection (Purva Punya)

The coming antardaśās of Moon daśā are judged in D6, each lord taken from the D6 lagna and again from the daśā lord. Mars is yogakāraka and bādhakeśa for the Leo lagna of D6; he sits with lagna lord Sun in the 5th and gives Sun's results — recovery through past good karma — but both are in the 8th from Moon, and the bhoga falls in the 12th, so the recovery is partial. In Rahu antardaśā the 12th lord's daśā meets a planet in the 12th, and Rahu, a bādhakeśa, aspects Moon in the Rashi: the trouble may linger. Jupiter antardaśā in 2008 is excellent. Last comes the Navamsa: it shows pūrva puṇya, the protection that decides whether an affliction in Rashi or D30 brings a person down; here Moon, its 9th lord, is in the 8th. The recording ends there. From the published class notes the page adds the Paryāya daśā of D6 — a rāśi daśā for illness, read in thirds, with the daśā lord's Rashi lordship weighed as well — and the annual charts of 2005 to 2008, which put the relief in 2008.

Key principle

Look at Navamsa because this is your protection. If your protection is weak, even a small blow that somebody gives you will make you fall. If you are strong from within, even if somebody hits you with a big, thick stick, still you will be fine.

Example Chart

Example chart — mental illness after childbirth (1976)
May 26, 1976 · 4:37:34 AM IST (rectified time used in class; given time 4:37)
D6 (Leo lagna): Mars and Sun in Sagittarius in the 5th — the 8th from Moon in Taurus. Mars owns the 4th and 9th (Aries, the bādhaka sthāna). The 8th from Mars and Sun is Cancer, the 12th from lagna, holding Rahu and Ketu. D1: Rahu in Libra aspects Moon in Aries; Jupiter, 9th lord, is in lagna. D9: Scorpio lagna, Moon is 9th lord and bādhakeśa, in Gemini in the 8th — his maraṇa kāraka sthāna (the recording says "in Aries" and breaks off). D6 for the later periods: Jupiter in Leo and Sun in Sagittarius exchange signs; Ketu, the Rashi's 8th lord, is in the 12th.

Antardaśās in D6 — Mars, Rahu, Jupiter

Each antardaśā lord is judged from the D6 lagna and also from the daśā lord, Moon. In D6 there is no Moon–Mars parivartana, so Mars is read as Mars.

Moon–Mars (from about August 2006)

  • From D6 lagna (Leo): Mars is the 4th and 9th lord, a yogakāraka, with lagna lord Sun in the 5th (Sagittarius).
  • He is also the bādhakeśa of D6. Leo is a fixed sign; its bādhaka sthāna is the 9th, Aries.
  • From Moon (Taurus): Mars is the 7th and 12th lord in the 8th. Badly placed.
  • Mars is with Sun and will give Sun's results.
  • Sun from lagna: lagna lord in the 5th. The lagna lord is always the key to recovery, and the 5th is the house of pūrva puṇya. "He is recovering because of some good karma done in the past."
  • Sun from Moon: 4th lord in the 8th. Not terrible, not good.
  • In most other mahādaśās this antardaśā would be good. Inside Moon mahādaśā it is reduced.
  • Bhoga: from Moon the antardaśā lord is in the 8th. Count the 8th again from the antardaśā lord: Cancer, the 12th from the D6 lagna, with the nodes. That does not look good either.

"There will be some recovery after August… but it may not be full, because he is still in the 8th house from the mahādaśā lord."

Moon–Rahu (February 2007 – August 2008)

  • Bhoga in D6 is again poor.
  • Moon is the 12th lord and Rahu is in the 12th house: 12th-house results are given to the fullest.
  • In the Rashi chart Rahu aspects Moon (graha dṛṣṭi, from Libra to Aries) — he eclipses Moon. And Rahu is the other bādhakeśa of the Rashi chart, with Saturn. So both bādhakeśas aspect Moon.
  • "Even though I want to say that she will get well very soon, my suspicion is that these problems may linger on for 18 more months."

Moon–Jupiter (2008)

  • An excellent antardaśā. In the Rashi chart Jupiter is the 9th lord blessing the lagna.
  • In D6 Jupiter (in Leo) and Sun (in Sagittarius) exchange signs — the 5th lord with the lagna lord. A good exchange.
  • The class notes date it September 2008 – December 2009 and expect the cure in it.

Navamsa as Protection

Having read Rashi, D30 and D6, the teacher turns to the chart the class had left out.

  • The Navamsa shows all the pūrva puṇya — all that protects you.
  • If that protection is weak, a small affliction in Rashi or D30 is enough to make you fall.
  • If you are strong from within, a heavy blow leaves you standing.

"Look at Navamsa because this is your protection. If your protection is weak, even a small blow that somebody gives you will make you fall. If you are strong from within, even if somebody hits you with a big, thick stick, still you will be fine."

Moon in This Navamsa

  • Navamsa lagna is Scorpio, so Moon is the 9th lord.
  • The recording has the teacher say "the 9th lord in Aries" and then stops. The site's chart places Moon in Gemini in the Navamsa — the 8th from Scorpio lagna (Moon at 6°59′ Aries falls in the third navamsa).
  • The published class notes agree with the chart and give the verdict: Moon, the 9th lord of luck and protection, is in the 8th house — his maraṇa kāraka sthāna. For Scorpio, a fixed lagna, the 9th lord is also the bādhakeśa.
  • The rule: for a person's overall luck, look at the 9th lord of the Navamsa. If the 9th house or its lord is strong, luck protects the person even when there are problems. Here that protection is weak.

Order of Reading Used in This Class

  1. Rashi — lagna lord, Chandra lagna, Moon's afflictions; the daśā running when the problem began.
  2. D30 — Moon's sign: which tattva disturbs the mind.
  3. D6 — is the daśā lord tied to the 12th, 6th and 8th; each antardaśā lord from lagna and from the daśā lord.
  4. Navamsa — how strong the protection is.

Paryāya Daśā of D6 and the Annual Charts

From the published class notes; this part is not on the recording.

Paryāya Daśā of D6

  • Paryāya daśā is a rāśi daśā. It is used in the D6 chart to see illnesses, litigation and worries.
  • The Rashi lagna is Aries, a chara sign, so Chara Paryāya daśā is the variety used.
  • She is running Scorpio daśā. Ketu is the stronger of Scorpio's two lords.
  • A daśā sign's results come in thirds. Scorpio is a śīrṣodaya sign, so the sign itself gives its result in the first third. Ketu sits in a pṛṣṭodaya sign (Cancer), so as lord he gives his result in the last third. Planets occupying and aspecting Scorpio give theirs in the middle third.
  • Ketu is giving his result now. In D6 he is in the 12th.
  • When you judge a daśā in a divisional chart, also ask what the daśā lord's agenda is in the Rashi. Had Ketu been the 9th lord in the Rashi, the problems would have been minor even with him in the 12th of D6. Here he owns the 8th in the Rashi, so he gives more trouble.

Annual Charts, 2005–2008

The class then read the annual Tithi Praveśa (ATP) chart of each year.

  • 2005. Hora lord Mercury, vāra lord Venus. The problems began in Venus daśā. Venus is the lagna lord of that year's chart, which moderates the result. But he is the lord of the roga sahama and of the 64th navamsa, he occupies the bandhana sahama, and he is the 8th lord in the 8th in D6.
  • The classics (Jātaka Pārijāta is named) say the lord of the 64th navamsa and the lord of the 22nd drekkāṇa can kill.
  • Venus is well placed in that year's D30. So the root cause, which D30 shows, may have begun earlier; the physical symptoms, which D6 shows, began in his daśā.
  • She was hospitalised in Mercury daśā: in D6 he is the 12th lord, and he is the lord of the bandhana sahama placed in lagna. The bandhana sahama's lord in lagna, or lagna falling in the bandhana sahama, is always bad. Saturn daśā looks no better. A bad year for health.
  • 2006. Hora lord Venus is in maraṇa kāraka sthāna. Lagna lord Mars is in the 8th, and he is the 8th lord in D6. No recovery shown.
  • 2007. Lagna lord Jupiter is in the 12th — hospitalisation. In D6 the lagna lord is afflicted, and three malefics aspect lagna from the bādhaka sthāna. The roga sahama's lord is in the 6th. Not a good year.
  • 2008. In D6 the 6th and 8th lords have no connection with lagna, the lagna lord aspects lagna, and Ketu is in lagna — a spiritual remedy can reach her. Jupiter gives Haṁsa yoga in the Rashi. A good year.
  • Vimshottari agrees: Moon–Jupiter brings relief from September 2008. So does transit: in September 2008 Jupiter is in the 9th from natal lagna and from Moon (Sagittarius), with 4 points in his aṣṭakavarga, and that sign is the 5th house, pūrva puṇya, of the natal D6.

Ketu or 8th lord on MoonStrange, hard-to-diagnose problems
New mantrasNames of the deity may be varied; do not add bījākṣaras on your own
