LESSON 6 (THE MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 33-40-If the Moon is in the sixth, the native will be poor and of diseased body. In his 36th year native will develop illicit relations with a widow. If the Moon is associated with a malefic the native will indulge in sinful deeds. If the Moon is in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu the native will be bereft of wealth, he will have dangerous enemies, will be quarrelsome, without brothers and will suffer from
stomach ailments. If this disposition watery places like ponds, wells, may prove dangerous for his life. If the Moon is in conjunction with a malefic the native will suffer from ill health. If the Moon is waning, it will give totally malefic results. If the Moon is in conjunction with a benefic the native will have strong constitution and will be free from diseases.

Comments-The Moon if posited in the sixth will lose all her good significations and the evil effects will be aggravated if the Moon comes under malefic influences. The native will indulge in sinful and immoral deeds because the 'sattvic' qualities of the planet will be destroyed by malefic influences. The Moon is a watery planet, therefore under malefic influences watery places will become a source of danger for the native. If the Moon in the sixth is under benefic influences the native will enjoy good health.

LESSON 5 (MOON IN THE FIFTH HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 19-24-The native will be crowned as a king (that is he will attain a very high status in Government), he will own many horses (now-a-days he will own many conveyances) and he will enjoy agricultural and financial prosperity but his mother will be sickly. The native will have milk to drink in abundant quantities but he will be brought up on breast milk of women other than his mother. He will get plentiful good food to eat and be happy but he will be fond of women other than his wife. If the Moon is strong by being full or in his own sign Cancer, the mother will be long lived. She will be short lived if the Moon is weak (that is, waning). The waning Moon will also deprive him of the comforts of conveyances but he will enjoy these comforts if the Moon is strong. If the lord of the 4th is exalted, the native will have the good fortune of owning many kinds of conveyances.

Comments-The effects of the Moon in the fourth house as given above are relevant to the significations of this house. 'The fourth house signifies amongst other things, mother, milk, agricultural land, conveyances etc. The Moon will cause the native to achieve king like status because from the 4th house, she will be aspecting the 10th house but for this purpose it seems to be essential for the Moon to be very strong and beneficial. This can be possible when the Moon is full or is in Cancer or lord of the 5th (Pisces Ascendant), 9th (Scorpio Ascendant) or 10th (Libra Ascendant). Other good results ascribed to the Moon will accrue if the Moon is disposed as mentioned above. The mother will be sickly or the native will be brought up on the breast milk of women other than the
mother, if the Moon is malefic on account of her nearness to the Sun and the lord of the 4th is under evil influence.

Other views

Brihat Jatak-The person will be happy.

Phaldeepika-If the Moon is in the fourth house, the native will be happy, fond of luxuries and women and of sacrificing spirit. He will have good friends, good reputation and will enjoy the comfort of conveyances.

Chamatkar Chintamani-The person concerned will occupy a position of high status with the king (Government). He will lead a happy married life and will be blessed with children. The native will not get much happiness in his childhood.

Note-In essence all the above authorities agree with the conclusions mentioned in Bhrigu Sutras

LESSON 4 (MOON IN THE FOURTH HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 19-24-The native will be crowned as a king (that is he will attain a very high status in Government), he will own many horses (now-a-days he will own many conveyances) and he will enjoy agricultural and financial prosperity but his mother will be sickly.

LESSON 3 (THE MOON IN THE THIRD HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 15-18-If the Moon is in the third house the native will have average number of sisters. He will suffer from rheumatic troubles, his agricultural output will be negligible and he will be unfortunate. In his 24th year he will get punishment from Government as a result of which he will have to suffer loss of wealth. He will lose his cattle wealth. He will be a backbiter but intelligent and will have good number of brothers.

Comments-According to the learned author of Bhrigu Sutras, the placement of the Moon in the third house is not favourable in the matter of finance. We, however, think that things will change for the better if the Moon is in Taurus (when she will be exalted as the lord of the 5th) or in Cancer when she will be in his own house and aspect the ninth house i.e., house of bhagya and prosperity. The signification brothers and sisters are not damaged by the presence of the Moon in the third
house. Having negligible agricultural production, payment of penalties to Government and loss of cattle wealth are all results of being unfortunate.

LESSON 2 (THE MOON IN THE SECOND HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 9-14-The native will be handsome in appearance, full of glory, wealthy and easily satisfied. In his 18th year he will get the appointment as his commander-inchief by the king (this can also mean that he gets a distinguished professional achievement by the favour of the king in his 18th year). If the Moon is associated with a malefic, the native will be uneducated. If the Moon is in conjunction with benefic or benefics, the native will be highly educated and wealthy. If only .full Moon is in the second house, the native will be very wealthy and highly educated.

Comments-The second house amongst other things is also significator efface. The Moon in the first as well as in the second house gives the native a handsome appearance. It is stated that if the Moon is in the second, the native is appointed commander-in-chief in the 18th year of his life. This is difficult to swallow. It is hardly likely that any person at the tender age of 18 can be capable of and qualified to hold such a high and responsible post. This may have been possible in the times of the author but it is quite impracticable now-a-days. All that we should infer from this statement is that a benefic Moon in the second (preferably in Aries, Taurus or Cancer) will help the native to achieve in his young age a distinct professional achievement by the favour of the King and Government. The second house is house of wealth (Dhanabhava). According to author of Bhrigu Sutras educational achievements also fall within the sphere of the second house. That is why it is stated that if Moon is under malefic influence, the native will be uneducated. If the Moon in the second house is under benefic influence, or if there is a full Moon alone in the second house, the native will be highly educated and wealthy. In this connection it should be noted that full Moon is rated as a first class benefic.

Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will have a large-family.

Phaldeepika-If the Moon is in the second the native will be soft spoken and will enjoy all material comforts, but there will be something wrong with his speech.

Saravali-Native will get all comforts of life and happiness, will have friends and will be wealthy. If there is full Moon in the second house the native will be very rich but will not be much talkative.

Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will gain wealth and enjoy all comforts of the body (that is, he will be very healthy). He will enjoy women and will be affectionate towards members of his family. He will be very handsome.

Note-All are agreed that the Moon in the second house will give very beneficial results according to the significations of this house, assuming however, that there is no malefic influence on such Moon. It should also be assumed that the lord of the second is well placed in the horoscope. Here we also take the liberty of mentioning that Moon in the second house will not give good results if she is lord of 6th, 8th and 12th. This will happen when Aquarius, Sagittarius and Leo are the ascendants
respectively

LESSON 1 (THE MOON IN ASCENDENT IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 1-8-If the Moon is in the first house (ascendant), the native will be very handsome looking but unsteady mentally. He will suffer from bodily troubles and will be happy at watery places. He will perform many travels in his 15th year. If the Moon in the Ascendant is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer, the native will be well versed in shastras (Hindu religious scriptures), wealthy, happy and soft spoken. He
will have soft skin and strong build but he will not be intelligent. If the Moon is aspected by benefics, the native will be powerful, wise, intelligent, healthy, clever conversationalist and wealthy. If the lord of the ascendant is weak, the native will suffer from ill health. If he is aspected by a benefic the health will be good.

Comments-Moon symbolises beauty. Her placement in the ascendant makes the native very handsome in appearance. Moon is always waning and waxing and represents mind (manaska- raka). The mind of the native will therefore be unsteady. Moon is a watery planet. The native will therefore like watery places. When the Moon is in Aries in the ascendant, she will be lord of the 4th in the 1st.
When she is in Taurus she will be exalted as lord of the 3rd in the 1st. When the Moon is in Cancer she will be in her own sign, in the Ascendant. The effects of these dispositions given are that the native will be versed in shastras, wealthy, happy, a king. He will be soft spoken, will be of strong body but not intelligent. We agree with the author in as far as position of Moon with Aries and Cancer as ascendants but we are not sure that the same will be the case with Taurus as ascendant. The View of Bhavartha Ratnakar in this respect is as under: That is, the Moon in Taurus as ascendant is not particularly good for giving wealth. We also feel that the Moon should be waxing (or full Moon) to give the good results in full. We also feel that Moon in Scorpio, Libra and Pisces in the Ascendant will also be good because she will be in the ascendant as lord of the 9th, the 10th and the 5th
respectively. The reason for the native not being intelligent may be due to the instability of native's mind. If the Moon is aspected by a benefic the native will be powerful, intelligent, wealthy etc. Very good results will accrue when Jupiter is in seventh to Moon (this disposition will give rise to Gajkesari yoga-a very beneficial yoga conferring wealth, name and fame upon the native). For a planet to give good results it is very necessary for the lord of the sign in which it is posited, to be strong and well placed. It is for this reason it is said that if the lord of the ascendant is weak the native will suffer from ill health. He will be quite healthy if the lord of the ascendant gets benefic aspect.

OTHER VIEWS-

Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be mute, insane, stupid, blind, base ormean, deaf or servile (this does not apply to birth with Moon in Aries, Taurus orCancer). If the Moon should occupy her own house identical with the Ascendant,the person will be rich. If Aries takes the place of Cancer, the person concerned will have many children. If Taurus be the ascendant, the person will be wealthy.

Phaldeepika-If the Moon of the bright half of the lunar month (Sukla Paksha) is in the ascendant, the native will be fearless, of strong body, wealthy and long lived. Quite opposite will be the results if the Moon is of dark half of the lunar month.

Saravali-If the Moon is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer in the ascendant or if the full Moon is posited in other ascendants, the native will head in handsomeness, generosity, good qualities, wealth and enjoyment.A waning Moon in the ascendant will make the native mean, deaf, mute and perturbed.

Chamatkar Chintamani-If the Moon be in Aries, Taurus and Cancer in the ascendant, the person concerned will be rich, lustrous and will enjoy all kinds of comforts. If Moon be in Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in the ascendant, the native will be poor, weak bodied, stupid and deaf.

Note-The ill effects of the Moon given by Brikat Jatak apply to a weak or waning Moon. In Aries, Taurus and Cancer the Moon has been held very beneficial. The effects given by Saravali are quite logical. As regards the views of Chamatkar Chintamani, we feel that Moon in Pisces, Scorpio and Libra in the ascendant willalso give good results as such a Moon will be in the ascendant as lord of the 5th,the 9th and the 10th respectively
