If three planets are set original: "astamgata" - referring to heliacal setting or combustion by the sun, the person is dull-witted. However, if a planet is risen, situated in its own house, or in the house of a friend, it is considered strong. || 19 || A planet is also deemed powerful if it is in the divisional charts of a friend or aspected viewed by a friend. If a house bhava is aspected by its lord who is strong, or by powerful benefic planets, || 20 || and is neither aspected by nor joined with malefic planets, that house is considered strong. If Mercury and the Sun are in the tenth house, and Mars and Rahu the North Node of the Moon are in the sixth, || 21 || a man born under this Royal Union Raja Yoga: a planetary combination indicating high status or power becomes a leader. If Jupiter is at the beginning, Saturn at the end, and other planets are situated continuously in between, || 22 || one should recognize this as a Royal Union, endowed with the strength of family. When Jupiter is in the third house and Venus is in the eighth house, || 23 || with planets situated continuously between them, he certainly becomes a king. If Jupiter is in Taurus, the Moon in Gemini, Mars in Capricorn, || 24 || Saturn in Leo, Mercury and the Sun in Virgo, and Venus in Libra, this Royal Union is formed. || 25 || A man born under this yoga becomes a Great King. If such a person lives past his eighth or twelfth year, || 26 || he then becomes a sovereign king and a protector of the world. When Jupiter alone is in the Ascendant, then all combinations become auspicious. || 27 || He becomes long-lived, highly honored, and a leader among soldiers. If Mars and Venus are in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Pisces, and Mercury in Libra, || 28 || while Saturn and the Moon are in their signs of debilitation, he becomes a king, though devoid of wealth. He will be a giver, an enjoyer, famous, and a respected leader of a province. || 29 ||
