Commentary on the Gem of Astrology

The subject will enjoy the friendship of illustrious kings original: "Rajashri" - a title for royalty or high-ranking nobles if the pure Lord of the Ascendant term: Ascendant (Lagna) - the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth or the Lord of the Ninth House is positioned in a single sign along with their enemies. Such a person will be widely renowned. (30)

Observe further, my son: if the Moon, who is the Lord of the Ascendant, joins with Mars and resides in the Fourth House, there will certainly be an affliction term: Dosha - a flaw or unfavorable astrological influence upon the subject's mother. If the Lord of the Ninth House and the Lord of the Sixth House are joined with malefic planets in a single sign, there will be an affliction upon the subject's wife. If Saturn original: "Kari" joins them, one can declare that the affliction comes through a person of the laborer class original: "Shudra". (31)

It is said that if the Lord of the Ascendant and the Lord of the Fourth House are positioned in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses These are the "Dusthanas" or difficult houses in Vedic astrology, and if those houses happen to be the houses of their enemies, the subject will not know happiness even in their dreams. If the Lord of the Ascendant resides in the seventh house while the Lord of the seventh house resides in the Ascendant—or if they are both joined in a single sign—the woman who marries that subject will meet an early death.
