Mrityu Bhag

[Guest guest]

Namaste Pankaj ji,

 

Each planet has one specific degree as its Mrityu Bhaga (death-inflicting

degree) in each sign.

For Rahu, MB in Aq is the 18th degree. For Moon, what you said is correct, i.e.

MB in Aq is the 5th degree, if one goes by Phala Deepika. If one goes by Jataka

Parijatam and Sarvartha Chintamani, Moon's MB in Aq is the 20th degree.

 

For those who understand C and C++ computer languages, here are the complete

tables defining the MB of each planet in each sign:

 

// As per Jataka Parijatam and Sarvartha Chintamani:

double MrityuBhagaDegree1 [NUM_RASIS] ={// Ar Ta Ge Cn Le Vi Li Sc

Sg Cp Aq Pi { 20, 9, 12, 6, 8, 24, 16, 17, 22, 2, 3, 23 }, // Sun {

8, 25, 22, 22, 21, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 20, 10 }, // Moon { 19, 28, 25, 23, 29,

28, 14, 21, 2, 15, 11, 6 }, // Mars { 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22,

7, 5 }, // Merc { 19, 29, 12, 27, 6, 4, 13, 10, 17, 11, 15, 28 }, // Jup {

28, 15, 11, 17, 10, 13, 4, 6, 27, 12, 29, 19 }, // Ven { 10, 4, 7, 9, 12,

16, 3, 18, 28, 14, 13, 15 }, // Sat { 14, 13, 12, 11, 24, 23, 22, 21, 10, 20,

18, 8 }, // Rahu { 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14 }, // Ketu

{ 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22 }, // Mandi { 1, 9, 22, 22,

25, 2, 4, 23, 18, 20, 24, 10 } // Asc};

 

// As per Phala Deepika

double MrityuBhagaDegree2 [NUM_RASIS] ={// Ar Ta Ge Cn Le Vi Li Sc

Sg Cp Aq Pi { 20, 9, 12, 6, 8, 24, 16, 17, 22, 2, 3, 23 }, // Sun {

29, 28, 14, 21, 2, 15, 11, 6 }, // Mars { 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, 18, 20, 10,

21, 22, 7, 5 }, // Merc { 19, 29, 12, 27, 6, 4, 13, 10, 17, 11, 15, 28 },

// Jup { 28, 15, 11, 17, 10, 13, 4, 6, 27, 12, 29, 19 }, // Ven { 10, 4, 7,

9, 12, 16, 3, 18, 28, 14, 13, 15 }, // Sat { 14, 13, 12, 11, 24, 23, 22, 21,

10, 20, 18, 8 }, // Rahu { 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22, 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14 },

// Ketu { 23, 24, 11, 12, 13, 14, 8, 18, 20, 10, 21, 22 }, // Mandi { 1, 9,

22, 22, 25, 2, 4, 23, 18, 20, 24, 10 } // Asc};
