Relocation Case (Boston → North Carolina) — D4 A4 Mercury Exalted, D10 Dhimant Yoga, TP Career Window & Saturn-Jupiter Dasha
Male chart (Sep 1, 1955, Machilipatnam; current Saturn-Jupiter dasha). Question: should he relocate for wife's job? D4 (Chaturthamsa): Jupiter AD in 3rd house of D4 = 12th from 4th = displacement energy; Bhoga falls in 12H = moving/faraway place. A4 in Leo; Jupiter is 8th lord from A4 in 9th from A4 = instability with current house. Mercury (next mahadasha) exalted in 8H of D4 (Sarala yoga) + from A4, Mercury exalted in 2nd from A4 = king-like house in new location. Conclusion: move is recommended and long-term benefit. D10 (Dasamsa): Mercury mahadasha → 5th and 8th lord exalted in 6H = Dhimant Yoga (using abilities to overcome obstacles; productive hard work). Mercury dispositor of 10th lords (Mars+Ketu in Mercury signs). Mercury in Ishanamsa (Isha deity) = suggest religious/voluntary work to balance career. D9 (Navamsha): wife's career via L7 → Venus well placed; wife's Mercury dasha = 5L+8L in 6H of D9 = Viprita + Dhimant = fine. Tithi Pravesh: year-lord Mars = energy and change; career window April 13–June 1. Arudha rule: natural benefic in 3rd or 6th from AL = saintly or "loser" image (non-aggressive perception during the move).
"He can move to North Carolina. A couple of years of relative instability, but after that the next 17 years of Mercury mahadasha will be good. The move is recommended."

- Mercury in D4 (next mahadasha lord): exalted in 8th house (Sarala yoga = 8th lord in 8th) + from A4, Mercury is exalted in 2nd house from A4 → king-like house! Big, beautiful house in new location
- Conclusion from D4: Move is indicated and will be good long-term
Key rule applied:
— PVNR"Mercury in 2nd from Arudha Lagna = Parasara says the person will be a king. Adapting: Mercury exalted in 2nd from A4 = that house is like a king's house."
Rule on Saturn from arudha: "Saturn in 12th from any Arudha is good for that Arudha (stability from a distance/patience)."
Navamsha — Wife's Career
- Wife's career seen from L7 → Venus in Navamsha well placed

- Saturn-Jupiter: Jupiter in 9th house of D10, Saturn in 4th → okay, some change possible
- Mercury mahadasha: 5th and 8th lord, exalted, in 6th house of D10 → Dhimant Yoga (using abilities to overcome problems; hardworking and productive)
- Mercury is dispositor of both 10th lords (Mars and Ketu are in Mercury's signs in D1)
- Mercury in Ishanamsa (D10 deity = Isha) → suggest religious/voluntary work to balance any career setbacks
Arudha Lagna — Image
- Natural benefic in 3rd from AL = saintly/non-aggressive image; but also seen as a "loser"
