DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA

Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha

= a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Dr
ekkana

BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8.

Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, count
ed
from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round.

The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and
are,respectively, lorded by

1. Narada,

2. Agasthya

3. Durvasha."

The meaning of the word DRESH - KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects
which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANAxmeans corner or trine (Trikona
).
Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each o
ther,
convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native.

Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186:

"In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 0C° 00’-10° 00' of any sign ruled by i
tself.
The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element.

The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element.

For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, th
e second 1/3 in the
harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo.

Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in t

he harmonic third
of Aries.

Western astrology has long used the decanate but usually calculates it differently. I
t makes the first
third of a sign that of the Cardinal sign of the element, the second that of the Fixe
d sign and the
last that of the Mutable sign. Hence, it sees the first third of Sagittarius as Aries
, the second as Leo
and the third as Sagittarius. "

DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA

- Any planet when aspected by its drekka lord in the birth chart is very
powerful and gives auspicious results.

- The 8 th house of drekkana chart is known as Khara Drekkana or 22 nd

drekkana.

- The literal meaning of Khara : harsh, rough, donkey, harmsful, sharp, sharp
edged, cruel, etc.

- How to arrive at the 22 nd Drekkana :

- Method of calculating 22nd Drekkana

There are 36 Drekkanas; 3 for each of the 12 Rashis. From the Lagna
Drekkana in your horoscope, count successively till the 22nd Drekkana.
For example if your Lagna is in the first 10 degrees you are born in the
first Drekkana. From that count the number of Drekkanas for each Rashi.
So, in this case, the 22nd Drekkana will be the 1st Drekkana of the 8th
house for your horoscope; if your birth in the second Drekkana i.e.
between 10 and 20 deg. of a sign, the 22nd Drekkana will fall in the 2nd
Drekkana of the 8th sign; if your birth is in the third Drekkana, the 22nd
Drekkana will be in the 3rd Drekkana of the 8th sign from your Lagna.
The 22nd Drekkana is also called the “Niryaana Drekkana”

There are various methods of counting 22nd Drekkana, but a short cut
technique is to look for the lord of 8*Thouse in D-3. That planet would be
lord of 22nd Drekkana for your clnt^L)

a) As it is calculated from lagna, it brings harm of physical nature.

- the placement of kharesh from lagna in the drekkana chart shows inner
turmoil, struggle related to disease, debt or enemies.

- Notes on 22nd Drekkana

- Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that in natal astrology, the nature of the
22 nd Drekkana indicates the source/ manner of death.

- In general condition when Longevity has not reached optimum it is

concerned with bodily discomfort, health matters, and threat to longevity of
the native. Some of the special effects are as follows:

•Occupation of natural malefic in 22nd Drekkana, in Rashi, reduces the

potential of the chart up to a great extent.

•Ayudha Drekkana indicates injury with weapons as cause of death /

accidents,and so on.
•Sarpa Drekkana can mean danger from poisonous reptiles that could be
lifethreatening.

•Dasha/Bhukti of lord of 22nd Dre kk ana generally afflicts native’s health

andyield mental agony, when devoid of benefic aspects. If the concerned

planet isalso a natural malefic and posited in malefic Rashi then intensity of
evil woulddefinitely be higher than expected.

•Whenever lord of Lagna transits the 22nd Drekkana, loss, bodily

discomfort, grief and quarrel results.

•In a similar fashion transit of lord of 22nd Drekkana in ascendant produces

trouble regarding significance of 1st house.

•Like ascendant, obtain 22nd Drekkanas of other planets specially Moon and
Sun. Transit of that planet into respective 22nd Drekkana always mar the
significance of planet transited.

•Avoid starting any new task when your luminaries are transiting their
22ndDrekkana or/and Kharesh moving over Sun or Moon
- Each drekkana consists of 4 dwadasamsha:

1 st is ruled by Ganesha

2 nd is ruled by Ashwini kumar

3 rd is ruled by Yama

4 th is ruled by Ahi or Serpent or Sarpa

Placement of lagna lord in Sarpa dre kk ana brings many problems in life. The
placement of ninth lord in sarpa drekkana brings failures in life despite
efforts whereas the tenth lord in sarpa drekkana makes the native indecisive
and gives little success in his profession.

- If the Lagna Drekkana is Pasha Drekkana. then the native may

experiencebondage/ incarceration.

- If the birth is in Chatushpada Drekkana (quadruped Drekkana) or if the 7th

lord is in the Chatushpada Drekkana, then the sexual activity of the native
will resemble that of a quadruped.

- This has been explained in detail in various classics including

Brihat ParasharaHora Shastra, Sarvartha Chintamani and Saravali.

- Details about Sarpa, Ayudha, Pakshi, Pasha, Nigala and Chatushpada

Drekkanas can be found in Chapter XII, ’Concerning Eight House’ in ‘

How to Judge a Horoscope - Volume Two’ by Sri BV Raman

- If the Lagna Drekkana is Pasha Drekkana, then the native may experience
bondage/ incarceration.
- If the birth is in Chatushpada Drekkana (quadruped Drekkana) or if
the 7th lord is in the Chatushpada Drekkana, then the sexual activity of
the native will resemble that of a quadruped.

- In Manasagari it is said that as the planets are in their own Drekkanas, in

their exalted signs, in their own Vargas, so shall the native enjoys riches,
prosperity and he will be truthful.

DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA

- If a planet in its own drekkana is also placed in a Kendra or Kona, the native
will be prosperous and gain position and respect. He will be expert in Arts
and will have good reputation.

- If drekkana lord is in a benefic house and connected with Sukra, Chandra or

Kuja, then the native gains respect, popularity, wealth and good position.

Sufferings, injuries and suicidal tendencies indicated in D/3 chart:

- If D/3 Ascendant lord occupies 6 th or 8 th house in the natal chart, the native
is sadistic with suicidal tendencies.

- At the same time if D/3 lagnesh is associated or aspected by benefics, these

effects get cancelled.
- If D/3 lagnesh is Sun or Mars and is posited in the 8 th house of the natal
chart, the native is prone to bums and electric shocks.

If D/3nesh is posited with Jupiter or Saturn in the 8 h house in the natal chart and
are afflicted, the native suffers due to food poisoning, drug abuse or reaction of
some medicine.

DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA

The native born under krura drekkana may be wicked, evil doer, quarrelsome, as
he is unbending and unyielding. So he has to face constant fight.

The native born under toya or jalachara, will be philanthropic, kind hearted as well
as short tempered.

The native who is born under soumya drekkana will enjoy comforts of life and will
prosper in life. The person born under mixed drekkana will be unstable and
restless.

- Placement of planets in AYUDH drekkana is good as it gives valour and vitality.

Manydeficiencies are made up by self-efforts.

The lord of VUIth house and Saturn in Ayudh drekkana gives accidents and hurt
by sharp weapons.

The placement of CHATUSPAD drekkana gives a steadiness in life. The native is

cautious in taking decisions and earns permanent fame. The placement of Moon
and Mercury in this drekkana makes a person intelligent. Malefic in this drekkana
makes the native self-centred.

SARPA Drekkanas: - These are the 1st and 2nd Drekkanas of Cancer, the 1st and
2nd Drekkanas of Scorpio and the 3rd Drekkana of Pisces. According to Sub -
hodhini, the terms "Vyala varga" is interpreted into the Drekkanas of Yyala
(Sarpa), Gridhra (vulture), Kola (hog) and the like.

- PAKSHI drekkana stand for communication and is neither stable or social.

Placement of of lagna lord, eight lord or Saturn will cause unnatural death.

- FEMALE drekkanas are Lakshmi drekkanas and a person is blessed with wealth,
good personality, rises high in society and takes care of the whole family. When raj
yoga karaka planets occupy this drekkapa and are at the same time placed in trines
and angles, the natives occupies high a position and is blessed with all the good
things of life.

- PROMISE & DENIAL OF SIBLINGS:

a) A strong lagna lord, a tihana yoga promises siblings

b) A raja yoga promises highly placed siblings

c) Afflicted or badly placed third house and/or third house lord deny younger
siblings.

d) Afflicted eleventh house or eleventh house lord denies elder siblings.

Analysis of the D/1 and D/3 charts

Consider the Rashi chart, of 3rd 5th7th 9th and 11th houses.

11th house stands for elder brother/sister while 3rd house represents younger born.

When there are more younger brothers, we have to see 3 rd to 3rd house (5th house) an
d 3rd
to 5th house (7th house) and so on.

For elder brothers, we have to see 11th to 11th house (9th house) and so on. In this
chart
3rd,5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses are occupied by planets.

Facts of the case:

She had an elder sister, 3 younger sisters and 2 younger brothers.

In the D3 (Drekkana), 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th andllth houses are occupied by planets.

Ascendant lord of D/3 chart, Jupiter is conjoined to Rahu hemmed by Sun and a waning
Moonin the D/3 chart.

In the D/1 chart, Jupiter falls in Ayudh category and its nature is kroor.

Saturn, afflicts the D/3 ascendant and the Moon.

Venus, lord of 3 rd in the natal chart is afflicted in D/1 chart.

She had no help from the siblings and lived under the mercy of her in-laws.

DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA

Analysis of D/1 and d/3 charts

- Saturn is in the ascendant in the D/1 as well as D/3 charts

- Both are shadashtak (6/8) in both the charts

- Saturn afflicts Moon in the natal chart and Jupiter in the D/3 chart
- In the D/3 chart, Mars and Saturn afflict each other.

Facts of the case:

- The dash of Saturn and antar dasha of Venus oprated from September
1977 to October 1980.

- Elections were held in March 1977 after lifting the emergency.

- The native lost the elections and was out of power.

- She faced a great deal of humiliation till 1980, when she was returned to
power.

- When the lord of the eight house is placed in lagna in the birth chart,
then the mutual dasha of the lord of the Vlllth house and that of the
lord of the 22 nd drekkan gives humiliation and loss of power.

- The seriousness and intensity of of malefic results depends upon the

affliction, especially if:

a) The eight lord and the kharesh are in 6/8 from each other.

b) Karesh is afflicted by malefic

c) Kharesh is in trik houses from the lagna.

 Diseases: Body parts in Vedic Astrology

Diseases: Body parts in Vedic

Astrology

Disease and other evils are seen from the Lagna, Trimsamsa and Kaulaka.’
- Jaimini Sutra 3.3.59

The body parts of Kalapurusha are represented by the rasis and bhavas. The right side of the body
is represented by the 2nd to 6th houses. The left side is represented by houses 12th to 8th.
According to Jaimini, the affliction to body parts should be seen from the ascendant or Moon,
whichever is stronger.

Rasis/Bhavas Parasara Jaimini/Bhavas*

Aries/First Head Head
Taurus/Second Face Face
Gemini/Third Breast Throat
Cancer/Fourth Heart Arms
Leo/Fifth Belly Stomach
Virgo/Sixth Navel Loins
Libra/Seventh Abdomen Back
Scorpio/Eight Genitals Groin
Sagittarius/Ninth Thighs Feet
Capricorn/Tenth Knees Eyes
Aquarius/Eleventh Ankles Ears
Pisces/Twelfth Feet Nose

The above scheme is given by Jaimini in Sutras 4.1.1 – 4.1.15, where he tells us that the body parts
should be determined from the lagna or the Moon, which ever is stronger.

2.0 Body Systems – Western Model

In western medicine, the body is studied in terms of systems or groups of organs that work together.
The organs in a system are grouped together because they are interconnected and also because
they have made up of the same type of tissues.

System Planet Major Organs and Structures

Skeletal Sun Bones, cartilage, joints and ligaments that hold them
together.
Muscular Saturn Muscles: (i) skeletal or voluntary (with bones and tendons is
responsible for all forms of conscious movement ), (ii)
 smooth muscles –responsible for involuntary movement of
internal organs, (iii) cardiac muscles, the bulk of the heart.
Nervous Mars Brain and sense organs (eyes, ears, taste buds, smell and
touch receptors), nerves andspinal cord.
Endocrine Venus Control and influence the body’s chemistry and metabolic
processes. Hormone producingglands: pituitary, thyroid,
parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, thymus, testes/ovaries.
Respiratory Mercury Lungs, bronchi (tubes to lungs), trachea(windpipe), mouth,
larynx, nose, diaphragm.
Cardio- vascular Sun Heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, blood.
Lymph-vascular Mercury Structures involving the circulation of lymphand the body’s
defense against disease, including lymph nodes, lymph
vessels, spleen, tonsils, adenoids, thymus.
Digestive Jupiter Mouth, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach,
small intestines, liver, gall-bladder, pancreas.
Excretory Saturn Organs and glands involved in the removal of waste matter
from the body: sweat glands, large intestines, urinary system
(kidneys,ureters, bladder, urethra).
Reproductive Venus Male: testes, penis, prostate gland, seminal vesicles,
urethra.Female: ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix,
vagina, vulva.Male and female sex hormones relates to
sexual growth and function (menstruation in females).

3.0 Classification of Disease – Jyotish

According to Prasna Marga (XII, 18-20), disease can be classified as foillows: (i) Nija or diseases
that are due to internal conditions or karmas of the individual, and (ii) Agantuk or disease due to
external influences.

Nija Roga (two types):

This type of disease should be seen from the 8th house/lord, and are due to one’s karmas, the
actions and deeds that have accrued from past lives that have yet to be redeemed. These are likely
to be serious transgressions that have violated principles of dharma and spiritual law. The location of
the diseases due to the 8th lord are to be seen from the natural significations of the sign it occupies
as well as the planets it conjoins as opposed to the house placement and lordship of those planets.

(i) Sareera (body) or the physical ailments of the body, which are governed by the 8th house and
8th lord. Diseases of this category are also due to the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
According to Ayurveda, there are seven different constitutional types that arise from the various
combinations of VPK. The seven types are V, P, K, VP, VK, PK, VPK. Diseases arise when an
imbalance arises in the constitution, and the imbalance will always express itself in terms of an
excess or deficiency of one or more of the doshas.

(ii) Chitta (mind/intelligence) or the diseases that impact the mind or chitta, the seat of
consciousness. These diseases are to be seen from the Moon (mana), the 5th house and its lord,
and the 8th house and 8th lord.
Agantuk Roga (two types):

The 6th house and its lord indicate drishta/adrishta roga and the bhava placement of the 6th lord will
indicate the body part that is afflicted by disease. In other words, the affliction to the body part
caused by the 8th lord is to be seen from the significations of the rasi placement, whereas the
affliction due to the 6th lord is to be seen from the bhava placement from the lagna.

(i) Drishta roga or those ailments that can be identified in terms of visible, external or known
causes (diet, injury, enemy). The 6th house and 6th lord indicate those diseases that are due to
one’s own reactions indicated by the shadripu.

(ii) Adrishta roga or those due to inexplicable, invisible or unknown causes (evil spirits and
demonic possession). When the 6th house and its lord have the association of the badhakesh, the
diseases can be due to supernatural influences.

3.1 The Chiddra Grahas & D-3

The chidra grahas or cruel planets must always be considered in the judgment of the rasi and the
vargas. They indicate vulnerability to unexpected traumatic events and according to the classics,
these planets are:

The lord of the 8th house.

Planets occupying the 8th house.
Planets in conjunction or association with the lord of the 8th house.
The lord of the star in which the 8th house lord is placed.
The lord of the Navamsha in which the lord of the 8th house is placed. The lord of the 64th Navamsa
from that occupied by the Moon.
The Atisatru or great enemy of the lord of the 8th house.
The khara drekkanadhipati, i.e., the lord of the 22nd drekkana.

Although the classics tell us that these planets can indicate death and injury to the native, we are
advised to use Shoola dasa to examine all matters related to death and illness that are likely to
cause death.

3.2 Gulika & Maandi

Gukila and Maandi are son’s of Saturn and their malevolence can be even more severe that Saturn
himself. The day or night is divided into eight equal parts and the degree ascending at the start of
Saturn’s portion is called Gulika.

Maandi is the middle of Saturn’s portion. Calculate the lagna at those respective positions, and this
will give the degree for Gulika and Maandi.

Gulika is said to be like poison and his association will cause disease and chronicity. He represents
the accumulated poison we gave to others in previous birt hs that will return to us in this life. Maandi
is even more destructive. Because he represents the middle of Saturn’s portion, he is more malefic.
He represents the poison we received from others in the past, that we will tend to give to others in
this present life.
3.3 The Khara Drekkana

In addition the Khara drekkana, the 22nd drekkana from the lagna in the rasi, is particularly evil and
has the capacity to cause disease and can even bring death to the native. Saravali tells us that the
Kharesha, the lord of the 22nd drekkana, can indicate the cause of death and even indicate the
underlying dosha that promotes the cause.

Planets placed in the Khara drekkana are also vulnerable and can cause disease.

3.4 The Badhaka

Badhaka means obstruction and in matters related to health, this can mean obstruction to the
optimum function of some internal organ or system of the body. The influence of badhaka grahas
can lead incurability because of the incapacity of the physician or practitioner to diagnose the true
cause of the disease. The purpose of the badhaka is to torment the native and because of the
invisibility of its influence, it can also torment the physician.

Every house has its own badhakasthana and the following table can be used to determine the
badhaka/badhakesha for any bhava.

Rasi Badhaka Badhakesha

Aries Aquarius Rahu/Saturn
Taurus Capricorn Saturn
Gemini Sagittarius Jupiter
Cancer Taurus Venus
Leo Aries Mars
Virgo Pisces Jupiter
Libra Leo Sun
Scorpio Cancer Moon
Sagittarius Gemini Mercury
Capricorn Scorpio Ketu/Mars
Aquarius Libra Venus
Pisces Virgo Mercury

Badhaka grahas indicate adristha roga, the unseen influences that were mentioned earlier often due
to the wrath of the deity or the curse of the Guru from past lives. These planets behave like Rahu
and they lead to diagnostic confusion and the incorrect prescription on the part of the doctor.

Jataka Parijata tells us that the dasa of the planet owning a badhakasthana will lead to distress,
disease and other such evils. That classic also tells us that planets having association with the
badhaka as well as those in kendras to it, will lead to distress and disease. Planets in kendras to the
badhakesh will promote its cause and support its intention to obstruct the native.

Sarvarth Chintamani points out that the lord of the 22nd drekkana, also known as the kharesha, as
well as Maandi, behave like badhakas. The association of Maandi, Gulika and the kharesha with
badhakas can promote their evil effects.

Extensive coverage of the effect of badhakas was presented at the SJC – USA, West Coast
Conference, 2003 and the reader is advised to review that material for a thorough understanding of
this important topic.1

3.5 The Atmakaraka

Afflictions to the AK can indicate very difficult health problems that can plague the native throughout
his life and these may be very difficult to resolve with medical intervention. The position of the AK in
the Navamsa and Trimsamsa should also be examined to determine the severity of the disease. The
dhatu or the organ system indicated by the AK may be weak or defective.

3.0 Parasara Hora, D-2

The Horas can be used to determine the side of the body where the disease is likely to occur and for
this purpose we use the Parasara Hora method of dividing a sign into two parts.

The Sun’s Hora is the first 150 of an odd sign and the second 150 of an even sign.
The Moon’s Hora is the second 150 of an odd sign and the first 150 of an even sign.
The Hora ruled by the Sun indicates the right side in male charts and left side in female charts.
The Hora ruled by the Moon indicates the left side in male charts and right
side in female charts.

Affliction to the hora will indicate the side of the body where the symptom will manifest.

4.0 Somanath Drekkana, D-3(Sn)

The Parasari Drekkana (Table 3.1) is based on the tripilicity of signs and has much to do with our
bhagya or spiritual merits related to family relationships, especially with co-borns. Family
relationships can either support or hinder our goals and desires and the destiny of a native may be
entirely changed due to the good fortune of his co-borns. All of this is to be seen from the Parasari
Drekkana.

The Somanath Drekkana (Table 3.2) is cyclic in nature and ruled by the Moon. It is therefore related
to the body and matters of health and disease. The function of the cosmos is governed by three
universal principles, soma, surya, and anila.

Soma is the Moon, surya the Sun, and anila is the universal prana. In the human body, these
manifest as Kapha, Pitta and Vata, respectively. Soma is that which gives protection and in the
body, it expresses itself in the form of Kapha dosha. Kapha is composed of water and earth, and as
a cohesive force, it gives structure and form to the entire body in the form of cells, tisues and organs.
Disease due to the derangements of prana, tejas and ojas are to be seen in this drekkana.

The only reference to this Drekkana is to be found in Maharishi Jaimini’s Upadesa Sutra (Rath
edition) and the author was guided by his Guru to explore the use of the Somanath Drekkana in
matters related to health. We shall see that each Drekkana is divided into two 50 portions, and in this
way each 100 degree segment is related to the Kauluka.

4.1 Drekkana & Body Parts

There is disagreement in the classical works regarding the classifications of body parts for some of
these drekkanas. Table 3.3 is based on the material available in Jataka Parijata and Sanketa Nidhi
and in the authors experience they are found to be reliable.

Table 4.3 – Body Parts & Rising Drekkana (Jataka Parijata)

Bhavas First Second Third

Varaha Mihira presents some variations to the above in Brihat Jataka. The difference in his
assignments are to be seen in Table 3.3. The reader is advised to carry out his own observations
and thereby come to his own conclusions.

Wounds and diseases will occur in the parts where the signs/houses are occupied by malefic
planets. If such signs are aspected by benefic planets, we are told that moles will appear in those
parts. If the malefics or benefics occupy fixed signs, then the mole will exist from birth, otherwise
they will appear after birth.

The nature of the planet will indicate the nature of the wound. Saturn will cause wounds due to a
“stone or excess wind” and we might expect that the part will be dry and emaciated and have some
chronic weakness. Mars will cause injury from “excess fire or weapons or poison” and the part may
be inflamed and irritated. Mercury will cause “injury from earth;” the Sun from “wood or quadrapeds”;
Moon by “horned animals or watery animals.” The signs protected by benefics will be free from
wounds and injury.

Jataka Parijata give us the following guidelines in making judgments about the drekkanas with
respect to marks, wounds and weapons. These can easily be expanded up to include the
descriptions of modern terminology and pathologies.

“When a drekkana is occupied by a malefic planet, there will be an ulcer or wound in the part of the
body indicated by the drekkana. But when it is also occupied or aspected by a benefic planet, the
astrologer should declare the existence of a spot there.”

“When the planet happens to be in its own Rashi or in conjunction with Saturn, the ulcer, wound or
mark should have been in the portion of the body indicated from the very birth. If the planet be in
positions other than those described above, the ulcer, etc., will crop up later on.

If Saturn be the planet to cause such ulcer, etc, it will be due to a hurt caused by a stone or some
wind disease. If Mars be the planet destined to inflict an injury, it will arise from fire, a missile, poison
or serpent bites. If Mercury be the malefic planet, the injury will arise by a fall on the ground from a
height or by a blow received from a clod or some such earthy substance. If the Sun be the malefic
planet, the injury will be inflicted by some piece of timber or a qua druped. Lastly, if the Moon be the
malign planet, the hurt will come from a horned creature or by liquids, such as acids.

If other planets than these, viz, Jupiter, Venus, the waxing Moon and Mercury not in conjunction with
malefic planets occupy a drekkana, there will be no mark or moles and the result would be all
favorable.”

4.2 Rules of Judgement

According to the classical works, the following rules are to be observed in evaluating the affliction to
the various body parts presented in Table 3.3:

If the lagna occupies the first Drekkana, the twelve rasis signify the upper portion of the body.
If the lagna occupies the second Drekkana, the signs represent the middle
portion of the body.

If the lagna occupies the third Drekkana, the signs represent the lower portion of the body.

In addition, the following must be taken into account:

When planets occupy the same type of Drekkana as the Drekkana occupied by the lagna
(chara/sthira/dwiswabhava), then the portion of the body above the neck is afflicted.
Planets in the second type of Drekkana afflict the trunk (middle portion of the body).
Planets in the third type of Drekkana, afflict the lower portion of the body.

4.3 The Sarpa Drekkanas

According to Parasara, the 2nd and 3rd drekkanas of Cancer, the 1st drekkana of Scorpio, and the
last drekkana of the sign Pisces are designated as Sarpa drekkanas.

The sarpa drekkanas are said to be evil and are not good for matters of health. If they are
associated with the lagna and conjoined or aspected by malefic planets, while at the same time
unaspected by the lord of that drekkana, it can lead to ill health and even death.
5.0 Kaulakamsa/Shastamsa, D-6

The varga charts from D-1 to D-12 indicate problems on physical level, those from D-16 to D-24
indicate issues related to the mind and intellect or the conscious level of experience, while those
from D-30 to D-60, show the unconscious influences at work that give rise to our physical symptoms.
Disease is related to our existential experience of this world and it is a physical manifestation of
the Shad Ripu, the six weaknesses that all human beings are destined to experience. The Shad
Ripu are related to the 6th and it is through the 6th house that we receive punishment for our
weaknesses. D-6 is a harmonics of the 6th house and this relationship makes it an essential chart in
matters relating to medical astrology.

Shad Ripu

Kama Desire Venus

Krodha Anger Mars
Lobha Greed Rahu
Moha Passion Ketu
Mada Intoxication Saturn
Matsarya Jealousy Mercury

The significators of the 6th house are the tamasic grahas, Mars and Saturn. The problems that arise
due the influence of these grahas are not easy to resolve and often lead to a life long challenge, and
in some cases to total destruction of the native.

According to Jaimini, the Kaulakamsa is used to predict the suffering, evils and diseases of the
native and his family members. It indicates the suffering of the Jeeva (Soul) and Mana (Mind). Since
we are examining the Kaulaka for the impact of the Soul on the suffering of the native, we are
looking at the strength of the life force and its capacity to cause disease or to heal the native.

5.1 The Kaulakas

We are told that each Kaulika is the 1/6 part of a sign, and therefore of 5 degrees segments.
Kaulaka is one of the important Vargas introduced by Jaimini.

Kaulaka 1 2 3 4 5 6
Degrees 0–5 5 – 10 10 – 15 15 – 20 20 – 25 25 – 30
Odd Rasis Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo
Even Signs Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

The affliction to a Kaulaka by malefic planets indicates the suffering and diseases on a mental,
emotional and spiritual level.

5.2 Kaulakas – Principles of Judgement

In constructing the Kaulaka chart, the following rules should be observed: The order is zodiacal for
odd signs.
The order is anti-zodiacal for even signs.

When Rahu/Ketu occupy a Kaulika, the order is reversed. This means that if Rahu/Ketu occupy odd
signs, the order is anti-zodiacal. For even signs, the order is zodiacial. (Jaimini Sutra 3.3.66)

5.2.1 Diseases – Kaulakas & Rasis

If the afflicting planet is in the first Kaulaka, the disease/injury will be in the forehead (3.3.60).
If the afflicting planet is in the second Kaulaka, there will be disease in the hair (3.3.61).
If the afflicting planet is in the third Kaulaka, blood disorder/disease will result (3.3.62).
If the afflicting planet is in the fourth Kaukaka, eye diseases will result (3.3.63).
If the afflicting planet is in the 5th Kaulika, danger from wild cats and lions exists (3.3.64).
If the afflicting planet is in the 6th Kaulika, diseases of the tongue (mouth/throat) could result
(3.3.64).

The results for Rahu and Ketu are to be seen in the reverse order. If Rahu is in 280, he will be in the
first Kaulaka instead of the last.

5.2.2 Diseases – Karakas

Each planet has its own significations and the sutras imply that Jaimini is using the karakas of the
planets to indicate the diseases from the Kaulakas. The karakas may also be used to determine
affliction to the dhatus and the organs signified by the planets.

Kaulaka Odd Signs Even Signs

00 – 50 Sun Mercury
50 – 100 Saturn Jupiter
100 – 150 Mars Venus
150 – 200 Venus Mars
200 – 250 Jupiter Saturn
250 – 300 Mercury Moon

5.2.3 Diseases – Drekkanas & Kaulakas, Internal vs. External Cause

A Drekkana is of 100 arc of a sign and the Kaulaka is 50. Thus, we can clearly see that two Kaulaka
occupy the span of each Drekkana.

The first Kaulaka of each Drekkana is said to represent evils and diseases of internal origin.
Disease of internal origin maybe due to some inner weakness in the dhatus, srotas, or organ
systems of the body.

These causes are likely be inherited karmic weaknesses and are to be examined from the influences
of the 5th and 8th lord, the Khara Drekkana and the badhaka grahas.
The second Kaulaka indicates the evils and diseases of external origin. If there is affliction to the
second Kaulaka, the disease is due to external causes.

Diseases due to external causes may be due to accidents, injuries, or problems from enemies, and
the 6th and 9th house in D-6 should be examined.

Diseases from improper diet, lifestyle, psychological attitudes and personality defects may also fit
this category.

Iatrogenic diseases from the side effects of medication, consumption of alcohol or use of harmful
drugs.

5.2.4 Diseases – Shashtamsa, Standard Analysis

The approach here is to analyze D-6 using standard significations for signs and houses. In addition,
Jaimini also tells us the following:

“If the planet is placed in its own sign, then its results shall predominate.” (3.3.83)
“If the planet is placed anywhere other than its own sign, the results of the sign shall predominate.”
(3.3.84)
“If the planet is exalted, then the sign will cause the fall of the native.” (3.3.85)
“If the planet is in its debilitation sign, the results of the planet shall predominate.” (3.3.86)

5.2.5 Disease – Odd Footed/Even Footed Signs

Ar, Ta, Ge and Li, Sc, Sg are odd-footed signs. Cn, Le, Vi and Cp, Aq, Pi are even-footed signs.
In sutras 3.3.104 – 3.3.106, Jaimini tells us that the source of the evil and the body parts afflicted
can be determined using the even-footed and odd- footed signs.

If the afflicted sign is odd-footed, and occupied by malefics, the source of the trouble will be
represented by the even-footed signs aspecting it. This can be applied in reverse also.

5.3 Summary – Rules of Judgement, D-6

The following is a summary of the rules and these can be applied to any house in the chart:
The lagna represents the body and its health, whereas the 4th house is the soul, the Jeeva. The 9th
house represents the growth of evils and enemies. The 4th house from the 11th, the 2nd from the
lagna or the significator bhava, represents death (3.3.89).

The 6th house is the Karya bhava and afflictions to this house show the source of the evils and
suffering as well as the cause of the ill health. The punishment from the enemies and suffering from
diseases is to be seen from this house.

The 11th house, the 6th from the 6th, is also to be examined. According to Jaimini, this house refers
to the emancipation of the soul or death on account of suffering and evils. The 6th and the 11th
should always be examined for adversities and ill-health.

The 8th house from tells us all about longevity. Malefics in the 8th house do not auger well for the
longevity of the native, while malefics in the lagna, the 8th from the 6th, will destroy the enemy.
Death and destruction is also to be seen from the 6th, 8th and 1st from the lagna or the AK. These
houses show the nature of death.

The 11th house is the house of Hara or emancipation – restriction, bondage and disabilities. The
death of the native is to be seen in the 2nd house, the 4th from the 11th.

Planets in trines to the 7th from the concerned bhava, will cause misfortunes, trouble and
destruction. For example, trines to the 7th will also be trines to the 11th (indicating death and
destruction). Malefics in the 4th, 8th or 12th from the lagna, will be in trines to the 7th from the 6th
(ruling enemies). They could ruin the enemy

.
6.0 Trimsamsa, D-30

Trimsamsa means the 1/30 division (D-30) of a sign but, in actuality, each sign is divided into five
unequal parts, each owned by the five planets, from Mars to Saturn. The positions of the planets, as
well as other important points such as the lagna, in the rasi chakra, are used to construct
the Trimsamsa according to information in Table 5.1. The vedic deity corresponding to
each Trimsamsa, is also given in this Table.

According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, the Trimsamsa represents the ‘evil’ in our nature, and
this divisional chart is used to predict periods of tragedy, misfortune and calamity in the life of a
native.

D-30 is a higher harmonic of the Shastamsa, D-6 [30=(2x12)+6], a chart which is used to examine
the diseases, enemies, law suits and mental suffering caused by such life events. The 6th house is
the house of punishment (rina - debt, roga - disease, satru - enemy, agha - sin, bheeti -
fear, avagya – humiliation). D-6 and D-30 are harmonics of these indications. Because D-30 is a
higher octave varga chart, the problems indicated in D-30 are said to be imbedded deeply in the
unconscious of the native, and it is unlikely that they can be appeased through self-effort or simple
propitiations. The harmonic relationship to the 6th house and D-6 make it an essential chart in
matters relating to medical astrology and its indications should not be ignored in the analysis of
one’s psychological makeup. Mental pathology can be seen in D-30.

Table 6.1

Degree Odd Signs Deity Degree Even Signs Deity

50 Aries Agni 50 Taurus Varuna
100 Aquarius Vayu 120 Virgo Kubera
180 Sagittarius Indra 200 Pisces Indra
250 Gemini Kubera 250 Capricorn Vayu
300 Libra Varuna 300 Scorpio Agni

The concept of ‘Shadow Self’ or ‘Papa Purusha’, the unconscious dark side of one’s own nature, is
well known in the spiritual and psychological literature both East and West. The Trimsamsa is the
chart that should be examined to determine periods in life when those unconscious forces will
manifest, to throw the native into some calamity or crises that may overwhelm the mind and physical
constitution.
Drekkana chart could profitably be used for finding out, time for on set of

diseases, and more particularly the body part which is to suffer. Varahamihira

and certain other authors prescribe the body parts according to the drekkana

rising in the Lagna. But detailed information is not available in the

treatise. Still, an intelligent student can make use of them in predictive use.

Recently, in the chart of Shri Narinder Sharma, one can see how these principles

worked well. Notice the Lagna degree 14:17, i.e. second drekkana rising in

the Lagna. Then 11th house especially denotes left arm. (When the second

drekkana rising in the Lagna, the parts of the body starting from neck to naval

are represented from 1st house to 12th house.) Saturn owned this house, placed

in the 12th house of loss.

The powerful 6th lord Mercury aspecting Saturn. This Mercury is placed in the

constellation of Hasta, which is owned by Moon. The constellation Hasta

represents left fore arm and the fingers as per the scheme of Nakshtra sareera

of Lord Vishnu. In the dasha of Moon he lost his fingers in the accident

involving with a machine. Lagna Lord is Mars who is debilitated and is located

in 26:08 i.e. the drekkana of Cancer. We know machines are represented by Mars.

He is 8th Lord too. This drekkana is known as Sarpa drekkana, which is not a

desirable place for Lagna lord to be in. (I hinted in my message that Mars is

placed in a sensitive degree). It is owned by Jupiter the lord of loss in this

chart.

See what is happening in D-3 of Narinder's chart. See the axis where the dasha
lords or placed, correlate the facts with the planets, and synthesize with the

Lagna chart proper. It is crystal clear.
