8th and 10th house lordships

[Guest guest]

Dear Prof ji:

Can you share your thoughts on the following:

 

a) Impact of lordship where the lord of the 8th (Mercury) is placed in

10th house (Scorpio) and the lord of the 10th (Mars) is placed in 8th

House (Virgo).

 

What rules / tactics do you use in such situations where the lords of

the houses are switched?

 

b) Please share your views on Saturn Retrograde ( 25:21) in 2nd house

(pisces)

 

Thanks and pranaam.

Hello Mahendra,

 

RETROGRADE PLANETS

 

 

 

This is only a visionary phenomenon as this occurs due to different speeds

of the planets in relation to the earth. The effects on a natal chart are

due to fixed angular position of planets with reference to a particular

place on the earth for a particular time, natal or transit.

 

 

 

Though the classical as well as some of the modern commentators have

ascribed different views for the results of retrograde planets, the author

is of the firm view that retrograde planets are to be treated in a normal

way as per their longitudes, so far as the natal influences are concerned.

However, the transit influences of a planet appearing to be in retrograde

motion and then direct motion are prolonged on a specified degree(s).

 

 

 

 

 

RESULTS OF EXCHANGE OF HOUSES OR ASTERISMS

 

 

 

The situation, in which a planet 'A' is placed in a sign or nakshatra ruled

by the planet 'B' and the planet 'B' is placed in a sign or nakshatra ruled

by the planet 'A', is considered as exchange of houses or exchange of

nakshatra (asterisms). For example, if the Sun is placed in the sign Scorpio

and the planet Mars is placed in the sign, Leo, then the classical works

considers this as exchange of houses by the Sun and Mars.

 

 

 

Under the Systems' Approach, we do not recognize this concept. Each planet

is considered, separately, for its placement, strength, relationship with

other planets, etc.

 

 

 

 

I add my replies/comments to your questions in your message appended below.

 

Best wishes,

WHEN THERE IS NO MT SIGN IN THE TENTH HOUSE WE WILL NOT CONSIDER MARS AS

LORD OF THE TENTH HOUSE. MARS IS THE LORD OF THE THIRD HOUSE FOR THOSE BORN

IN AQUARIUS ASCENDANT.

IMPACT OF MERCURY IN 10TH WOULD CAUSE OBSTRUCTIONS AND SETBACKS IN LIFE IF

IT IS CLOSE TO MEP.

IN SA THE PLANETARY INFLUENCES ARE READ INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY BUT

SWITCHING IS NOT GIVEN ANY ADDITIONAL IMPORTANCE.

PLACEMENT OF SATURN IS GOOD AND BLESSES THE PERSON WITH STATUS & WEALTH

DEPENDING UPON OTHER PLANETARY STRENGTHS IN THE CHART. RETROGRESSION DOES

NOT MEAN ANY THING.
