Article 163

Considering another example; suppose Moon is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in Libra and a combination of Venus and Mercury is placed in the first house in Capricorn. Suppose within Capricorn; Venus is placed in Pisces navamsha of Uttarashada and Mercury is placed in Taurus navamsha of Shravana nakshatra. Moon and Venus are benefic in the horoscope. Mercury in general is partly benefic and partly malefic for horoscopes with Capricorn ascendant; though the benefic part is higher.

In this case, benefic Venus may add more positivity to Mercury and the latter may become even more benefic. This is because Venus is stronger than Mercury; due to stronger placement of Venus in navamsha. Hence Shrinath Yoga may be formed in the horoscope. Such yoga may bless the native with very good results through a creative field or it may bless him with a post of high authority in government; depending on his overall horoscope.

 

Taking another example, suppose Jupiter is placed in the ninth house of a horoscope in Scorpio, in Cancer navamsha of Vishakha nakshatra. Mars is placed in ninth house in Scorpio, in Capricorn navamsha of Jyeshtha nakshatra; and Mercury is placed in the tenth house in Sagittarius, in Virgo navamsha of Poorvashada nakshatra. Jupiter and Mars are strong in Scorpio and they are exalted in navamshas. Mercury may do well in Sagittarius and it is exalted in navamsha. Hence strong Shrinath Yoga may be formed in this case.

Let’s look at influences of other planets as well as the overall theme of horoscope on Srinath yoga. Suppose in the same horoscope, malefic Saturn is placed in the ninth house in Scorpio and malefic Venus as well as Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Sagittarius. Saturn may afflict Jupiter and Mars, as well as the ninth house. Venus and Ketu may cause serious afflictions to Mercury as well as to the tenth house. As a result; Shrinath Yoga may significantly reduce in strength and the native may not benefit much from it.

Suppose malefic Sun is also placed in the ninth house in Scorpio and Moon is placed in the twelfth house in Aquarius. Saturn and Sun may form Pitra Dosh in the ninth house and they may cause serious damage to Jupiter, Mars and the ninth house. As a result, Shrinath Yoga may become even weaker and the overall horoscope may lose most of its positivity. Hence the native may not witness benefits from this yoga; unless the finer factors are supportive for him. If the finer factors are supportive; he may witness benefits but they may not be high or very high in quantum.

Let’s see what may happen when this yoga is influenced by benefic planets. Suppose Mercury in the tenth house in Sagittarius and Jupiter as well as Mars in the ninth house in Scorpio form Shrinath Yoga in a horoscope. Suppose benefic exalted Moon is placed in the third house in Taurus, benefic Rahu is placed in the eleventh house in Capricorn, benefic Ketu is placed in the fifth house in Cancer, Saturn is placed in the second house in Pisces, Venus is placed in the twelfth house in Aquarius and Sun is placed in the eleventh house with Rahu.

Exalted Moon may provide more strength to Jupiter and Mars through direct aspect and it may also add more strength to the third house as well as to the overall horoscope. Saturn may not cause affliction to any planet due to conjunction or direct aspect. Due to the overall strong and benefic horoscope; Venus may form Sarala Yoga in the twelfth house and the even malefic Sun may render some benefic results along with malefic results. Hence the native may benefit a lot from Shrinath Yoga in this case. Such native is very likely to be blessed with a post of high authority in government; provided the finer factors are supportive.

After this, the field of impact of Srinath yoga is checked. It is checked through the placements of lords of seventh, ninth and tenth house in various houses of horoscope. Taking an example, suppose benefic Mercury is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius and a benefic combination of Jupiter and Mars is placed in the ninth house in Scorpio.

Since these planets are placed in the ninth and tenth house; such Shrinath Yoga may primarily bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, reputation, fame, authority, father, higher education and spiritual growth. Such Srinath Yoga may also render good results related to health, lifespan, wealth, education, mother, family and marriage (for female natives). This is because Jupiter rules the first house, Mars rules the second house and Mercury rules the fourth as well as seventh house.

When benefic planets form a yoga in a horoscope; primary benefits may reflect through the houses they are placed in. After that, secondary benefits may reflect through the houses they represent in such horoscope; as well as those related to their general significances. After that, tertiary benefits may appear related to the planets or houses influenced by such planets through direct aspects.
