Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga (astrology)
Dharma Karmadhipati yoga arises when the lords of the 9th and the 10th bhavas counted from the '' lagna '' or the ''Chandra-lagna'' (the Moon-sign), whichever is stronger, establish a ''sambandha'' (mutual relationship) preferably in a kendra or a trikonasthana; it is a ''shubha'' (auspicious) '' yoga ''. The 9th ''bhava'' (house) signifies ''Poorvapunya'', ''Dharma'' and ''Bhagya'', which are all auspicious significations. The 10th house, also known as ''Kirtisthana'' and the ''Rajyabhava'', is the ''Karmabhava'' or the '' Karmasthana ''. In general terms the 10th house refers to occupation, profession or means of livelihood, temporal honours, foreign travels, self-respect, knowledge and dignity. Rationale Without luck there is no reason for one to survive; the lord of the 9th house (a ''trikonasthana'') which is the house of luck, occupying the 9th or a planet occupying its friendly or exaltation sign in the 9th house indicates a good name and good fortune, the person will be ...

Lagna
In Vedic Astrology Jyotiṣa, the Lagna (') or Hour Marker, is the first moment of contact between the soul and its new life on earth in Jyotiṣa.''The Essentials of Vedic and thantrik Astrology'', by Komilla Sutton, The Wessex Astrologer Ltd, England, 1999, p.96. Lagna's Rashi and Nakshatra represents the "Atman" (Soul) of an Individual Person while the Lagna Lord represents the Ruler of the Horoscope and therefore the Rashi & Nakshatra where the Lagna Lord is positioned is equally very important as the Lagna Lord also absorbs the traits and qualities of that specific Rashi & Nakshatra. Beliefs and functions One's Hour Marker, or Lagna, is the degree of the rāśi (or sign) and nakshatra (or constellation) specifically the nakshatra pada (also known as the division of a constellation into 4 different parts) which is either rising on the eastern horizon (''Udaya Lagna'') or setting in the western horizon (''Godhuli Lagna'') depending on the sunrise or sunset astrological traditi ...

Trikonasthanas
Trikonasthanas or trikonas or trines are conventionally the Lagna or the Birth-ascendant, the fifth and the ninth bhava or house counted from the Lagna (or the Chandra-lagna or the Surya-lagna). They form the ''Dharma-trikona'' and are also known as the ''Lakshmisthanas'', these bhavas and their lords signify luck and prosperity. The Lagna is both, a ''kendrasthana'' and a ''trikonasthana''. Overview The Lagna (Ascendant) is the exact point marked by the eastern horizon on the zodiac-belt that seemingly encircles the Earth; it is the point where the ecliptic cuts the horizon in the East. Hindu astrology, which is primarily based on constellations or nakshatras and on the equal house division, follows the Sidereal or the fixed zodiac. The entire sign or rasi rising in the east at the given local mean-time of birth or query is the first house or the Lagna. With the ''Rasi-chakra'' moving towards the East the count of signs or houses is from the eastern horizon, and their duration dif ...

Yoga (Hindu Astrology)
In Hindu astrology, yoga is the relationship between one planet, sign, or house to another by placement, Astrological aspect, aspect, or Conjunction (astronomy), conjunction. It is the consideration of the planetary Dasha (astrology), dasha's directional effects, the most important factor which distinguishes Hindu astrology from Western astrology. Background ''Laghu Parashari'', a treatise on dasha, is based on Parashara's Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and is the simplest and most widely-followed system. Ancient Hindus, Hindu astrologers seem to have confined their exercises to the seven planets: the planets in astrology, Sun, the Moon, Mercury (planet), Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn; the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu (mythology), Ketu are rarely mentioned. Parashara refers to five additional ''chayagrahas'', invisible mathematical solar positions which affect individuals and nations. The Rigveda refers to a total of thirty-four ''chayagrahas'': twenty-seven nakshatras lun ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Karmasthana (astrology)
Karmasthana, also known as the ''Kirtisthana'' and the ''Rajyasthana'', is the 10th ''bhava'' or house counted from the '' Lagna'' or the Ascendant or from the ''Chandra-lagna'' i.e. the natal position of the Moon.

From the 10th house is judged the rank and status, position and authority, command, ruling powers, means of livelihood and all actions dealing with it, respect, honour, father, living abroad, debts etc. According to Rudra, the word, 'respect', connotes all sentiments and experiences which elevate and uplift the feeling of self-gratification, and the honour and homage paid by others whether by members of a clan or community or government. Vaidyanatha includes renunciation of worldly life and taking to asceticism, and Kalidasa adds trade, depositing of treasure, athletics, teaching, supremacy and fame as matters to be judged from this house.

Yoga-karakas (Hindu Astrology)
Yoga-karakas are those planets which, according to Hindu astrology, confer fame, honour, dignity, financial prosperity, political success, and reputation. The lords of the '' kendras'' and '' trikonas'' (if not also owning a ''trikona''; or associated with a ''trika-lord'' Lord of the 6th, the 8th, or the 12th house) associating with each other, or the lords of the 9th and 10th interchanging signs or fully aspecting each other, give rise to Raja yoga. Karakas Karaka (कारक), the word derived from the verb ''Kr'' meaning to do or make; literally it means that which makes or causes an event. Vatsyayana states –"When a thing is a participant in an action or when it is endowed with a special functional activity, it becomes a "karaka" (Vatsyayana's Bhashya on Nayasutra II.i.16). Karakas remain constant under active paraphrase. According to Kiparsky and Staal they are the underlying relations of deep structure, belonging to a level intermediate between the level of semantic ...

Raja Yoga (Hindu Astrology)
Raja yogas are ''Shubha'' ('auspicious') ''yogas'' that are superstitiously believed to give success and a grand rise in career or business, and a greater degree of financial prosperity particularly during the '' dasha'' of the planets that give rise to ''Raja yogas''. However, these results get adversely modified by the presence of other ''Ashubha'' ('inauspicious') ''Arista yogas''. Basically, the Yoga or Raja yoga-causing planets during the course of their respective dashas confer their most auspicious results if they happen to own the lagna-bhava (the Ascendant) or the Suta-bhava (the 5th house) or the Bhagyasthana (the 9th house); the person remains healthy, wealthy, happy and successful enjoying yoga and Raja yoga results in case the lagna, the 3rd, the 6th, the 8th, the 9th and the 12th houses counted from the lagna are also not occupied by any planet, and the kendras (quadrants) are occupied only by benefic planets. The most powerful yogas are included in the raja yogas ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Planetary Dispositors (Hindu Astrology)
Planetary dispositors play an important role in Astrology. A dispositor is a planet that rules the sign that another planet is located in. For example, if Venus is in Gemini, then Mercury is the dispositor of Venus. Dispositor The dispositor is the planet which is the ruler of the sign or house that is occupied by another sign or house lord. Western astrology looks upon planetary dispositors as the final response to the meaning of an aspect in a horoscope, and it prefers drawing up of ''Dispositor trees'' that assist in determining in the Natal Chart the temporal status and the active nature of all planets. The concept of Planetary dispositors is not new to Hindu astrology, the ancient Hindu texts on Hindu predictive astrology have described numerous yogas based on this principle. In fact, most yogas are dependent upon the benefic placement of the dispositors of the planets giving rise to those yogas. In Hindu astrology the Planetary dispositor is also known as the ''Poshaka'', m ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Mantreswara
''Phaladeepika'' is a treatise on Hindu astrology written by Mantreswara. The text is written in lyrical Sanskrit verse comprises 865 '' sloka''s and 28 chapters. It is one of the more significant works on Hindu astrology, along with Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra of Parashara, Brihat Jataka of Varahamihira, and Jataka Parijata of Vaidyanatha Dikshita.

Author Very little is known about its author, Mantreswara, who is believed to have lived in the 13th century CE. He was born Markandeya Bhattathiri in a family of Namboodari Brahmins in Panchgir ...

Kalidasa
Kālidāsa (''fl.'' 4th–5th century CE) was a Classical Sanskrit author who is often considered ancient India's greatest poet and playwright. His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Vedas, the Rāmāyaṇa, the Mahābhārata and the Purāṇas. His surviving works consist of three plays, two epic poems and two shorter poems. Much about his life is unknown except what can be inferred from his poetry and plays. His works cannot be dated with precision, but they were most likely authored before the 5th century CE. Early life Scholars have speculated that Kālidāsa may have lived near the Himalayas, in the vicinity of Ujjain, and in Kalinga. This hypothesis is based on Kālidāsa's detailed description of the Himalayas in his ''Kumārasambhava'', the display of his love for Ujjain in ''Meghadūta'', and his highly eulogistic descriptions of Kalingan emperor Hemāngada in '' Raghuvaṃśa'' (sixth ''sarga'').
