Special Note:

The Lagna the Ascendant or the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth represents the self (the newborn child). The Moon represents the mother. Therefore, if both are influenced by malefic planets planets considered naturally unfavorable, such as Saturn or Mars, both the child and the mother will face death.

Other Combinations for Misfortune:

If Saturn, the Sun, and Mars are in the twelfth, ninth, and eighth houses respectively

And are not aspected by benefic planets, the one born will meet with death. 15

If Saturn is in the 12th house, the Sun is in the 9th house, and Mars is in the 8th house, and if there is no aspect the "glance" or influence of one planet upon another from benefic planets naturally favorable planets like Jupiter or Venus upon them, the person born will die.

Special Note on Predicting Results:

If Jupiter alone is powerful and situated in the Ascendant, he will destroy enemies and eliminate sins, just as offering a prostration to Lord Shiva original: "Shulinah," the wielder of the trident destroys one's sins.

Cancellation of Misfortune by the Lord of the Ascendant:

Born at night during the waxing moon, with the Ascendant aspected by benefics;

Conversely, born during the day in the waning moon, misfortune is likewise destroyed. 19

When born during a night in the Shukla Paksha the bright/waxing half of the lunar month, if there is a benefic aspect on the Ascendant, all types of misfortunes are destroyed. Similarly, if born during the day in the Krishna Paksha the dark/waning half of the lunar month, even if there is a malefic aspect on the Ascendant, the misfortunes are removed.
