Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are bilious. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are windy. Mithun, Libra and Aquarius are mixed, while the rest are phlegmatic

47. Dhatu, Mool and Jiva Divisions. Dhatu Planetsare Rahu, Mars, Saturn and Moon, while Sun and Venus are Mula Planets. Mercury, Guru and Ketu rule Jivas

33. Planet periods. Ayan, Muhurta, a day (consisting day and night), Ritu, month, fortnight and year: these are the periods allotted to the Planets from Sun to Saturn

In Kali Yuga the natural life-span of a human being is generally taken, as 120 years. Therefore Vimshottari Dasha is considered to be the most appropriate and the best of all Dashas

44. If one, or two, or three Planetsare in exaltation, one of a royal scion will become a king, while another will be equal to a king, or be wealthy.

20. Again a Raj Yog is formed, if Ari’s, Randhr’s and Vyaya’s Lords are in fall, or in inimical Sign, or in combustion, as Ascendant’s Lord, placed in his own Sign, or in its exaltation Sign, gives a Drishti to Ascendant.

18. The native will be wealthy, if one among Moon, Guru, Venus and Mercury is exalted in Dhan Bhava.

8. If Ascendant’s Lord and Atma Karak are in Tanu, Putr, or Yuvati Bhava, yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from a benefic, a Raj Yog is formed.

6-7. Maha Raj Yog. Should Ascendant’s Lord and Putr’s Lord exchange their Sign, or, if Atma Karak and Putr Karak (Char) are in Ascendant, or in Putr Bhava, or in the exaltation Sign, or in own Sign, or in own Navāńś, receiving a Drishti from a benefic, Maha Raj Yog is produced. The native so born will be famous and happy.

18. O Maharishi Parashar, please narrate, according to the Sign rising, as to which Planet is a Yog Karak and which is inauspicious.
