The Latter Nectar of Time (Unknown) - Page 18

All considerations regarding this relationship will be stated according to the auspicious or inauspicious influences falling upon the Ninth House The house of fortune, father, and religion, the Lord of the Ninth House Navamesh: the planet ruling the sign in the ninth house, and the significator Karaka of the Ninth House, the Sun.

In this context, it is also necessary to mention that in the science of Astrology, three "Lagnas" Ascendants or reference points are recognized—namely the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant. Among these, the Ascendant and the Moon Sign are particularly worthy of consideration. In a birth chart Janma Kundali, it sometimes happens that the predictions are more accurate if stated by treating the Moon as the Ascendant rather than the rising sign itself. This is the reason why the Moon Sign is compared to the "Body." Without the health of the body, neither can the mind function properly, nor can anything be achieved in the spiritual realm. Along with the Ascendant, the Moon Sign must also be considered. Regarding this subject, the author of the Deva-Keralam (also known as the Chandrakala Nadi) writes:

The Moon Sign is the body, and the Ascendant is known as the life-breath.

Only after examining both of these are the results of all Nadi A specialized branch of astrology predictions remembered.

That is to say, the Moon Sign is the physical form and the Ascendant is the vital force. Therefore, in all astrological scriptures, the results are stated only after the inspection and testing of both. Keeping the importance of the Moon Sign in view, there is a tradition in North India to include a Moon Chart alongside the Birth Chart.

Along with this, the fundamental principle of Predictive Science Phalit Shastra is that in giving the results of any "House," the Lord of that house, the significator planet of that house, and the house itself play the primary and decisive roles. Therefore, it is essential to consider these three in the examination of a horoscope.
