Daridra Yoga

Almost all Jyotish treatises have extensively dealt with financial matter and having exclusive chapters on Dhana and Daridra yogas. Following are the choice aphorisms from Jataka Parijatha on lack of financial ease and indigence.

1) Jupiter as lord of lagna or 8th exceeds the lord of 9th in strength and afflicted lord of 11th be other than kendar then yoga forms called daridra that yields bad luck and indigence.

2) Debilitated and combust Jupiter, Mars, Saturn or Mercury occupies 11th, 6th, 12th, 8th or 5th, constitutes the daridra.

3) If Saturn in the 9th house under malefic aspects, while Mercury associated with Sun occupies the lagna and falls in neechamsa. The person will be a beggar.

4) Should (non-luminaries) Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars occupy the dushtana (6th, 8th, 12th), 5th and 10th in any order. And the combust lord of 12th is stronger than lagna lord.

5) Debilitated Venus, Jupiter, Moon and Mars place in any four of the 1st, 10th, 11th, 6th, 7th, and 8th houses.

6) Venus in debilitation in lagna, Jupiter, Mars and Moon are also in their debilitation signs leads to daridra yoga.

7) Lagna in a fixed sign (Tau, Leo, Sco, Aqu), powerful malefic planets are in kendara and kona, while benefic planets occupy/aspect other than kendara, the native live upon alms.

8) Lagna in a moveable sign (Ari, Can, Lib, Cap) during night time, weak benefic planets occupy kendara and kona while malefic planets do not occupy/aspect kendara makes the individual indigent and poverty-stricken.

Preshya Yoga

There are certain planetary combinations leading to servitude. Such sorts of yogas, known as Preshya, often form in the horoscopes of unskilled labour, serfs, daily wagers, peons, lower cadre and menials.

1) When Sun is in the 10th, Moon is in the 7th, Saturn in the 4th, Mars in the 3rd and the ascendant is in a cardinal sign while Jupiter is placed in the 2nd house. Persons born under this combination during night will be a servant of another person.

2) If Venus occupies the 9th house, Moon the 7th house, Mars the 8th, and Jupiter owns the 2nd house or the ascendant while the ascendant is in fixed sign. The person born in this combination always lives in servitude.

3) When a person is born during night time and has the lord of the movable rising (Ari, Can, Lib, Cap) in bhava sandhi and a malefic planet occupies a kendara. The native will be a menial.

4) If Saturn, Moon, Jupiter and Venus occupy, during day time birth, cardinal or trine position or be in sandhi while the rising sign is an immovable one. The result is the same as above.

5) Jupiter attains Iravathamsa and occupies a sandhi, and Moon is not situated in a kendara house but possesses uttam-varga and Venus is in rising sign and the birth is night time during the dark half of a lunar moth. The person is born as a menial.

6) If at the time of birth of a person, Mars, Jupiter, and Sun occupy, respectively, the sandhi of 6th, 4th, and 10th, bhavas.

7) When Jupiter is in Capricorn occupying the 6th, 8th, or the 12th bhava, and Moon is in the 4th bhava from the rising sign, the individual born will have to work at the bidding of others.
