Lagnaphala Bhaskara - Mesa

Lagnaphala Bhaskara is a comprehensive work that explores the influence of the twelve Rashis as they ascend in the Lagna, which I have developed after extensive study of various ancient texts on Jyotisha. In this blog article, I have provided the effects of Mesha Lagna along with some insights from the writings of Sri B.V. Raman and Sri J.N. Bhasin. Additionally, detailed explanations and commentary have been included at the conclusion.

मेषविलग्ने कुनखः सुरोषणो भेदकृत्स्खलितवाक्यः ।
पित्ताऽनिलभूयिष्ठः कृपणोऽति बहुव्यथश्चैव ॥
रहितो बाल्ये गुरुभिर्मन्दसुतः स्वजनसहज हितकर्त्ता
धर्मस्थितो विदेशोपगश्च कर्माऽरभत्यऽफलं ॥
नीचां वा पिशुनां वा विकलां लभत्येऽनपूर्विकां भार्यां ।
सहजसमान्यपि मित्राणि चाऽस्य बन्धुत्वमुपयान्ति ॥
शस्त्रेण वा विषैर्वा मरणं पित्तोद्भवैर्विकारैर्वा ।
स्वात्पक्षात्ज्वलाद्वा वर्षात्दुर्गात् प्रपतनाद्वा ॥ (SJ)

[A person born in Mesha lagna will have deformed nails and will be easily irritated. He will cause rift and disruption among others and may falter in his speech. He will be of bilious and windy nature. He will be miserly and will have many kinds of sufferings in his life. During his childhood, he will separate from his elders. His children will be dull. He will do good to his relatives and brothers. He may go to foreign lands and start deeds which may not bear any fruit. He may get as his wife a girl from a low caste or one of lowly nature, or a tale-bearer or a handicapped girl or one who was already married to some body else. His friends will be of great help to him like his own brothers. His death will be caused by some weapon, poison, complaints relating to bile, relatives, rain, forests or by a fall.]

सेवाज्ञः कुनखी व्रणाङ्कितशिरा मानी सहोत्थाग्रजः
शक्त्या पाणितलेऽङ्कितोऽतिचपलस्तोये च भीरुः क्रिये ॥ (VH)

[The native has round eyes like the colour of copper. He likes to eat things less but in hot condition, is easily pleased, has many travels, is given to sex. The lower portion of his legs is weak. He has vicissitudes in matters of wealth, is full of valour, favourite of women, appreciates service of others, has bad nails of the body, has mark of injury on the head, is respected, is eldest among his brothers. He has the Shakti mark on his palm, is very changeful and is very much afraid of water.]

मेषविलग्ने जातः प्रचण्डरोषो विदेशगमनरतः ।

अपकृष्टोव्यसौख्यः कुधर्मसंवधितार्थश्च ॥ (SV)

[One born in Mesha Lagna will be highly susceptible to ire, be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, be jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skilful in performance, timid, religious, not very intelligent and will destroy others' wealth. He will be fickle-minded. He will enjoy pleasures, be famous, will have bad (ugly) nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by his father, will walk fast, will have inactive (or unlucky) children, be endowed with various kinds of wealth, and be virtuous. His wife will belong to a base family, be virtuous and be reproached even by her own people. The native will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners.]


शूरः कामी भवति सुभगो वर्तुलाताम्रनेत्रः सेवाविज्ञो व्रर्णचतशिराः कोष्णशाकाल्पभुक्तः। मानी भीरुः पयसि कुनखीभ्रातृमुख्यो स्थिरस्थः शक्ते रंकं कलयति करे द्राक्प्रसादोटनोजे ॥ (HM)

His body is streaky and has marks of injury. He is full of valour. He appreciates service of others. He has bad nails and is eldest amongst brothers. He treats even superior persons as inferior and is satisfied with whatever he gets. He has a self respect.]

मेषम् - तस्येवापञ्चमे वर्ष वन्हिना च भयं भवेत् । ज्वरेण दशमे चैव विंशत्यां वृश्चिकेन तु । सर्पेण भयमद्दिष्टं पञ्चविंशतिकेपि च। अष्टाविंशतिके भूतादपमृत्युभयं भवेत् । यदा पुण्यगृहे दृष्टे शतवर्षेण जीवति । मार्गशीर्षे शुक्लपक्षे पौर्णमास्यां तथा गुरौ। रोहिण्याञ्च शिरोरोगात् अपमृत्युर्भविष्यति । (SD)

[Mesham - In the fifth year, there will be danger from wind (or air-related illness). In the tenth year, from fever, and in the twentieth year, from scorpions. Danger from snakes is indicated in the twenty-fifth year as well. In the twenty-eighth year, there may be danger of unnatural death from spirits. When benefics are placed in auspicious houses, one may live for a hundred years. On the full moon day of the bright fortnight in the month of Margashirsha (November-December), especially on Thursday, in the Rohini constellation, there may be sudden death due to head disease.]

गुणी चण्ड प्रकोपी च स्वजनेपि विरोधिनः ।
पराक्रमात् यशप्राप्य मेषजन्माऽतिरोषयः ॥
(BhS)

[One born under Mesha Lagna is talented yet fierce and angry, opposes own kinsfolk and achieves fame through his valor, but is excessively wrathful.]

धनवान् पुत्रवानुग्रः परकार्यकरस्सदा ।
सर्वकर्म्मप्रकर्त्ता च शीलवान् नृपवल्लभः ॥
गुणग्राही कृतज्ञी च देवविप्रार्चने मति ।
सुमूर्त्ति स्वल्पभक्षी च ताम्रदीर्घसुलोचनः ॥

लक्षणं च शुभं सर्वं शरीरं वातपीडितं ।
इति ज्ञेयं फलान्यत्र मेषलग्नोत्भवेन्नरः ॥ (BS)

[The results for a man born with Mesha Lagna are to be understood as follows - A wealthy man, blessed with sons, always engaged in helping others, doer of all tasks, virtuous, and dear to the king, appreciative of good qualities, grateful, devoted to the worship of gods and Brahmins, of pleasing appearance, eating little, with copper-colored, long, and beautiful eyes, careless, swift, brave, passionate, with weak knees, afflicted with a head wound, having deformed nails, fond of servants, having two wives, going to battle, exceedingly fickle, fond of traveling abroad, lean-bodied, and swift-moving, all these are the auspicious characteristics in the body and he is afflicted by Vata (wind-related ailments).]

मेषोदये जन्म यदा भवेच्च स्वपित्तरोगं स्वजनापमानं ।
दुष्टैर्वियोगं कलहं च दुःखं शस्त्राभिघातं च धनक्षयं च ॥
(VYJ)

[When a birth occurs at the rising of Mesha, it may lead to diseases of the bile (pitta), insult from relatives, separation from wicked people, quarrels, sorrow, injury by weapons, and loss of wealth.]

पित्ताऽनिलाऽक्ष्याऽमयतप्तदेहः क्रियापटुर्लोभनदुष्टधर्म्मः ।
ईर्ष्यः परस्वेषु विकर्षकारी भीरुर् विषादी चपलोऽल्पमेधाः ॥

रक्ताऽग्निशस्त्रैस्तनुपाटलाद्वा मृयेत रोगैर्विषपित्तजैर्वा ॥ (YJ)

[Afflicted by bile and wind, with eyes diseased and a body scorched by ailment, skilled in action yet corrupted by greed and flawed in virtue, envious of others' wealth, causing harm, timid, melancholic, fickle, and of little intellect. Separated swiftly from father, mother, or siblings, one who moves quickly, as foretold by the Lord, slow-witted, at odds with kin and friends, bearing a nature contrary to theirs, partaking in varied sorrows, renowned, with stable wealth, yet tied to poor relations, of virtuous conduct, with flawed nails, unconquered by foes, he obtains a wife who is deformed, ill-mannered, or born of a low family, or one who is hostile to his kin, success in wicked deeds increases his wealth, yet pleasures are experienced through decline and degradation. He may die by diseases born of poison or bile, by blood, fire, weapons, or the tearing of the body.]

वृत्तेक्षणो दुर्बलजानुरुग्रो भीरुर्जले स्याल्लघुभुक्सुकामी ।

[At the rising of Mesha, (the native) may be one who causes enmity with relatives, a wanderer, thin-bodied, angry, fond of disputes, proud, weak-kneed, unstable in wealth, and courageous.]

लग्ने क्रिये क्रोधपरोऽतिलुब्धो विदेशगोऽल्पात्मजसौख्यशीलः ।
मेषाक्षिरीर्षु स्खलिताभिधायां पटुः परः श्रेष्ठविशिष्टकर्ता ॥

भीरुः स्थिरः स्फीतधनो विषादी कनिष्ठकर्माद्भुतगो जितारिः ॥
वियुज्यते प्राक् सरुजेन मात्रा पित्रा धनभ्रंशसमन्वितश्च ।
प्रोप्नोति भार्यां सुकुमारशीलां व्यङ्गां समीरादिभिरर्दिताङ्गरोगम् ॥ (HR/JSD)

[One born in Mesha Lagna, will be given to anger, very miserly and will live in foreign lands. He will be content with a limited number of children. His eyes will resemble that of a goat. He will stammer in speech, be skilful, an excellent personage and will perform excellent deeds. His co-born and friends will be inimical to him. He will have little intelligence and be fickle-minded. His kinsmen will be mean. He will be timid, firm, wealthy, and disconsolate. He will do small jobs but will be a wonderful accomplisher and will have subdued foes. During his childhood, his mother will be sickly. He will diminish paternal wealth and will be defective of some limb. His spouse will be a delicate youth, be deficient in limb and be troubled by windy diseases.]

मेषे लग्नै समुत्पन्नश्चण्डो मानी सकोपकः ।
सुधीः स्वजनहन्ता च विक्रमी परवत्सलः ॥ (LC)

[When Mesha is the ascendant, the person born may be fierce, proud, prone to anger, intelligent, a destroyer of relatives, valorous, and affectionate toward others.]

पराक्रमप्राप्तयशोविशेषोमेषोदये यः पुरुषोतिरोषः ॥ (JB)

[One born under Mesha Lagna is proud, skilled, short-tempered, inimical to his own kinsfolk and friendly to others, he gains extraordinary fame because of his courage and is wrathful.]

मेषलग्ने समुत्पत्र श्चण्डो मानी धनी शुभः ।
क्रोधी स्वजनहन्ता च विक्रमी परवत्सलः ॥ (MS)

[If Mesha be the Lagna, the native will be sharp-witted, egotisic, wealthy, virtuous; short-tempered, be hostile to his kinsmen, enterprising and respected by others.]

The following excerpt is taken with gratitude from 'How To Judge A Horoscope Vol. 1' authored by Dr. B. V. Raman and published by Motilal Banarasidass Publications for the benefit of all learners. Sincere seekers are suggested to read the book for more details:-

Mental Tendencies - Independent thinking, courageous and sensitive.

Physical Tendencies - Middle stature, ruddy complexion, sharp sight, long face and neck, head broad at the temples and narrow at chin, brown or light and curly, mark or scar on the head or temples, teeth well-set and round eyes.

General Tendencies - Those born in Mesha are lovers of scientific thought. They are enterprising and ambitious. They have the ability to plan. They dislike being guided by others are intense when interested, vehement when excited. They are rather stubborn, but often frank. Quick tempered, they resent imposition and are liable to go to extremes. Their constitution will be hot. They love beauty, art and elegance. They have practical ideas. If Aries is afflicted they suffer from diseases pertaining to the head. Mental affliction and derangement are also likely if Saturn and the Moon are in Aries.

The following excerpt is taken with gratitude from 'Astro Sutras' authored by Sri J. N. Bhasin and published by Sagar Publications. Sincere seekers are advised to read the book for more information:-

If the lagna i.e. the first house contains the sign Aries, the person born has the traits and characteristics of the planet Mars. The native has active habits and has a fair amount of anger in him. Since in this case the planet Mars assumes the lordship of both houses that represent "LONGEVITY", and death, it will indicate the native's mode of death through the nature of the planet or planets that may be influencing Mars. For the same reason the planet mars assumes great importance for longevity as well. In other words the stronger Mars is in the nativity the more long lived the native would be. Similarly if Mars is very weak it denotes that the native is not destined to live long. The lordship of the 8th house by Mars makes the native prone to a sinful life unless Mars has the relieving aspect etc. of some benefic planet. Sinful life is more likely if Mars has influence on the 4th house and it's lord as well.


Comments by the scribe:

Individuals born under Mesha Lagna are governed by Kuja, which often results in a quick temper, stubbornness, and a ruddy complexion. When Kuja is positioned in the 2nd Bhava, these individuals tend to excel in logical reasoning. However, with Kuja, the Lagna Lord, being debilitated in the 4th Bhava, they may be susceptible to heart-related issues and other health concerns. Their relationships with relatives are typically strained, and they often prefer not to reside in their own homes. The exaltation of Surya and the debilitation of Shani in Mesha contribute to a somewhat harsh disposition. The exaltation of the Lagna Lord in the 10th Bhava indicates a strong work ethic, while the exaltation of the fifth Lord in the Lagna suggests a high level of intelligence. The influence of Agni Grahas on the Lagna implies potential issues related to bile and acidity. Additionally, the debilitation of the ninth Lord, Guru, in the tenth house may lead to involvement in unlawful activities. The debility of Chandra in the 8th Bhava points to a troubled relationship with the mother and possible mental distress if Chandra is afflicted. There is also a fear of water and aquatic environments. With the seventh Lord exalted in the twelfth house and the twelfth Lord in the fourth, there is a strong interest in traveling abroad. They may possess grand properties or agricultural land, as the fourth Lord is exalted in the second house. Unfortunately, much of their energy may be wasted in conflicts with adversaries and unproductive endeavors, leading to financial losses due to enemies or health issues. These health problems are often linked to Budha or the Rashi or Bhava that Budha influences. Grief may arise from their spouse or business partners, as Shani gets exalted in the 7th Bhava. Their spouse may come from a different community or a distant location, although there may be occasional financial benefits from the spouse's family. The placement of Kuja is vital for longevity. Surya and Guru are considered benefic planets, while Shani and Budha are malefic, with Shukra acting as a Maraka. The relationship between Guru and Shani is not entirely favorable, and the effects of Rahu and Ketu will depend on their associations. The debilitation of Guru significantly diminishes the overall strength of the horoscope for those with Mesha Lagna.

Bṛhat Yogārṇava: Some Explanations On Graha Yogas

These are some excerpts from upcoming (unplanned) workshop on interpreting the Graha Yogas (planetary combinations). Image Source: Pinterest Combination 1: Mukhasya Vigandhatā (Foul Odour From Mouth) Jātakatattva 3.1.290. When Candra and Śukra occupy Meṣa and Budha occupies Lagna or 6th house, the person emits a foul odour from his mouth. A foul odour emanating from the mouth or body is traditionally associated with aggravation of Pitta Doṣa. In this combination, both Candra and Śukra are placed in Meṣa Rāśi, a sign ruled by Kuja, who is fiery and strongly connected with Pitta. When bodily heat increases abnormally, digestion becomes irregular, bile is aggravated, and unpleasant smell can emerge through the mouth, sweat, or skin. Thus, the sign itself provides the fiery foundation for the result. Candra governs rasa, bodily fluids, nourishment, and emotional softness. Śukra governs reproductive fluids, vitality, fragrance, and bodily charm. When these naturally gentle planets are place...

Jyotiṣārṇava: The Jyotisha Of Professions

In today's world, there exists a vast array of opportunities for education, careers, and various professions. Unlike in ancient times, it is no longer a given that the son of a king will inherit the throne. As opportunities expand, many individuals are choosing to pursue their careers abroad. Accurately interpreting this information from a horoscope can be a complex endeavor. Nevertheless, by employing a few established and effective techniques, this task becomes significantly more manageable. In this article, I present a method that has been in use for over 4,000 years, which I refer to as 'Mihira's Master Method,' along with several other straightforward principles. It is important to note that numerous example horoscopes are included in this discussion. I trust that the process of predicting professions will no more cause distress for the students of Jyotisha.  I reviewed numerous articles and books which are written on professions. In one particular book, the method...

Shukra In The 12th Bhava

In Jyotiṣa, the Graha Bhāva Phala is a significant subject that has been explored by the Rishis and Acharyas. It holds considerable importance in the realm of Bhava Analysis. There exist several classical texts, some of which remain unknown to the astrological community and are held by the scribe, that have thoroughly addressed the Graha Bhāva Phala. The scribe has endeavored to compile all findings related to Shukra's placement in the 12th Bhava, which is regarded as particularly unique and intriguing in its own right. General Dictum Image: Shukra.  Source: Pinterest. मीनोच्चः स्त्री च नीचस्तुलवृषभपतिः वैरिणौ भानुचन्द्रौ ।  सामान्यौ पूज्यभौमौ तदनु च सुहृदौ सौम्यमन्दौ ग्रहौ द्वौ ॥  सम्प्राप्तौ लाभगेहे तनुसुखजनके कोणकोशे प्रशस्तः ।  अन्ये भावे च शस्तो वदति च विदुषः पूर्वग्रन्थेषु तज्ज्ञः ॥ (Rf.

Experiences In Jyotiṣa: Some Case Studies

Case 1: Kāma, Manas, Jyotiṣa & 7th House An astrological chart reveals many aspects of a person’s life and very little remains hidden from a skilled astrologer. One among these is the sexual tendencies of the native. This should not be treated as a taboo subject, as the classical texts discuss such matters quite openly. It is the moral responsibility of an astrologer to guide his clients if they are moving on the wrong path. Image Source: Pinterest In the given chart, the 7th Lord Śani is debilitated and retrograde, and it casts its aspect on the 7th house itself. The 7th house, which is also the debilitation sign of Bṛhaspati, receives the aspect of Bṛhaspati who owns the 6th and the 9th houses. Bṛhaspati is associated with Budha, the 3rd Lord, and Sūrya, the 2nd Lord. Thus, the 7th house is under malefic influence. 7th house from Candra is in Krura Kartari as the 6th house is aspected by Śani and 8th is occupied by Kuja. The 7th Lord from Candra happens to be Kuja who is under ...

Government Jobs: Planetary Indications

One of the most common questions that the Indian community asks an astrologer is whether they will obtain a government job. For many people, it is seen as a symbol of stability, prestige, and social status. In many cases, astrologers make the mistake of predicting a government job merely because Sūrya is placed in the 10th house or happens to be exalted. Such a conclusion is often too simplistic. The 10th house certainly has relevance, but it is not the primary factor. Greater attention should be given to the 5th house, which reflects intelligence and the capacity to succeed in competitive examinations. Along with this, the 6th house should ideally be weaker in comparison to the Lagna. It is also important to examine whether the individual possesses sound morals and ethical conduct. Finally, the Daśā and the Gocara must provide adequate support at the right time for success in the examination and clearing the interviews.
