बृहज्जातकम्

Brihat Jataka

The text details astrological rules for conception, fetal sex, and birth outcomes. Lifespan depends on planetary positions, species limits, and the Anshayu method, where years correspond to navamshas counted from Aries. Results ripen when planets occupy angular houses with vigor. Wealth arises when the Moon occupies its sign or a friend’s portion, with Jupiter aspecting by day or Venus by night. Adhiyoga, formed by benefics in the seventh, sixth, and eighth houses from the Moon, creates leaders and brings riches. Sunapha and Anapha Yogas grant wealth, power, and health. Kemadruma Yoga requires dispatching the wicked, unless a planet minus the Sun and Moon is in an angle or the Moon joins another planet. Moon and planetary positions determine status. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius placements yield kingship, scholarship, or wickedness. Sun and Moon in the first house cause physical traits or impairments, except in specific signs. Planets in enemy signs cause harm. One to seven planets in a sign honor the subject. Aquarius is deemed inauspicious by some. Vargottama configurations and karaka relationships define social roles and auspiciousness. Death results from specific planetary alignments, such as Saturn in the fourth house causing drowning. The passage outlines methods for reconstructing lost horoscopes using prashna readings and lunar signs. Descriptions of drekkana forms detail figures for each zodiac sign.
