The first Hora in Leo is to be spoken of as a bold man whose form is as terrible as a lion’s, He is blazing, a fierce and hideous tyrant. He has upward-curving tusks, and is like Yama and Kala. He stands in the midst of battles between Nishadas and thieves. He has bound on his quiver. Desiring to taste flavors, he slays deer in mountain caves.

One born in the first Hora in Leo has a dishonest nature and performs deeds of firmness and strength; he is a bold man hard to assail and irritable; the corners of his eyes are red and his body is heavy, broad and proud; but he is happy at the end (of his life).

The second Hora in the house of the Sun is a fierce man who delights in battle. His bow is drawn back; his garment is a deer-skin. He is a eunuch, but, bearing his amour of gold, he protects women. The hair on his body is long. He is bald-headed and gat-toothed. Imioned, he touches the genitals of a man or a woman. Together with the robbers of his band he shouts terribly and shrilly in the desert. A man born under the influence of the second Hora in Leo desires women, spices, drinks, clothing, and food, and possesses stolen property; his friendship is firm and he moves his arms and so forth; his limbs and back are hard, and he has few subjects. Drekkana in Leo One born in the first drekkana of Leo will be liberal, will maintain people, will conquer his enemies, will have abundant wealth, many wives and good friends, will serve many kings and be very mighty.

If the first drekkan is rising, the fifth house will be to the fore. The condition and strength of the Sun will also be of utmost importance. The native will do well to take to business or trading in cloth or commodities, for he is likely to face serious ups and downs in service. The 21st, 26th, 31st and 33rd years of life will be important.

The first decanate of Leo ruled by Sun The First Drekkana of Leo represents a creature who is a cross between vulture and a jackal, a dog and a man dressed in dirty clothes, a creature who is away from its parents, and crying. This is a human decanate, quadruped, Bird decanate & generally sorrowful. Since the first decanate of Leo is rising by their merits and efforts they make money. They spend as much as they earn. They do well trading in clothes & food. They may have bouts of bad luck in their professional sphere. The important years in life are 21, 26, 31, 33, 38, 43, 50 & 54. The 1st Drekkana of Leo rising denotes a jealous, frank, generous, and ambitious disposition. Fate develops rapidly, and an eventful life is the outcome of the love of power and the organizing ability which the native manifests. Downfalls and problems are usually the result of hasty and ionate impulses, but the native has the power to recover his balance through firmness, endurance, and selfcontrol. This sign provides great vitality and a splendid physique, the body being strong and generally very healthy.

In the second Drekkana (of Leo) is born a handsome and happy lover with heavy thighs who desires garlands and ornaments; a firm and generous man with an expansive intellect, an expert in sacred traditions (sruti) and law (dharma) who is fond of possessions. In the second drekkan, the influence of the Sun is tempered by Jupiter. The native may go to the extremes and may not tolerate any kind of authority imposed on him, if the Sun is not in a good condition. The will may not be as strong as in the first drekkan. The native may be more philosophical and demonstrative. A good Sun will alleviate these characteristics, giving a more positive development. A weak Jupiter will make the native arrogant and pompous. The ninth house will be to the fore. The native is likely to undertake long journeys and may develop power to foretell. He is likely to come about wealth through investments after the age of 50 years. The 31st, 36th, 45th, and 53rd years of life will be important.

The 2nd Drekkana of Leo rising suggests a liability towards extremes, making the native more demonstrative, active, and at times very rebellious. It awakens the philosophical side of the nature

when the nativity denotes such a possibility. The willpower of the native as a whole is strengthened if the Sun is well placed and in good aspect with Jupiter. Second Drekkana (11°-20°).—Much depends upon the position of Mercury in the horoscope. The native may become a good writer or journalist or he may earn money by literature and music. If in service, he is likely to earn the displeasure of his superiors. Consequently he will sustain reverses. His financial career will be moderate. After the 50th year or thereabouts, he may get access to some wealth through insurance or investments. Important years will be 23rd, 26th, 31st, 36th, 45th, 53rd, 54th, and 56th. In spite of talents, the native seldom dies rich. One born in the third drekkana of Leo will be a miser, will steal others wealth, be free from sickness, hard-hearted, very intelligent, roguish, will have a narrow physique, be pre-eminent and will have many children. The third Decanate in Leo is a woman whose actions are marvellous and who is cunning in respect to machines and to undertakings involving the arts, business, or jewels.

One born in the third (Drekkana of Leo) is slender and has a long body, but is rugged; he is greedy and expert in stealing other people’s possessions; a bold man with a great mind who has many sons; but a rogue unloved by women.

The head and the heart will together making the native not only more determined and impulsive but he will also be more self centred and ruthless. He is likely to do well in shipping or contracts. The 20th, 25th and 30th years of life will be important.

This is a quadruped & an armed decanate. Since the third decanate of Leo is rising they will do well in the professional sphere. Unexpected ways bring in money. They do well in intellectual fields as well as in export business. They are good at contract work. The most important years in their life are 20, 25, 30, 33, 38, 43 & 48.

In some instances it provides opportunities to unite head and heart, and the intellect will strengthen the higher emotions providing zeal and ardour. There is also a quiet determination that is unequaled. Fate here is to a great extent under the control of the native. His willpower is controlled by reason and illuminated by intuition.

Surya (the Sun) is the ruler and Simha is a fixed, fire, male sign. The Sun is a fiery Graha, so Simha is very fiery indeed. Add to that the male quality, and the sign's symbol of a Lion makes a lot of sense. Surya represents the king, and the lion is called the king of the animal kingdom. Leo signifies royalty, magnificence, benevelonce, intelligence, heart and strong stamina and will power. They may have weak digestion and eyesight. They are best organizers, decisive, art lovers and authoritative, as well the strong desire to expand their influence. Leo natives can safely wear Ruby or Red Coral or Yellow Sapphire as adjudged by an able astrologer with detailed reading. The three gems can be studded in a locket and worn in the neck, under advice. If a benefic planet turns weak it must be strengthened by wearing gems or correctly prescribed rudraksha and also reciting planetary mantras. If a planet is adverse, it must be propitiated, and the relevant deity mantra or jap may be useful to alleviate sufferings. LEO: It is a fiery sign ruled by the Sun, the significator of vitality, intelligence, male progeny, social status and magnificence. These factors render the Leos noble hearts, with character and will power. If Leo rises as the ascendant, the Ishta Devata (form of god for worshipping and meditation) would be mother divine, Goddess Durga. This sign rules upper belly, stomach, spine, spinal cord, back, liver, gall bladder, spleen and pancreas. If the Sun is strong, the Leos enjoy good health. Otherwise, they are vulnerable to the diseases of heart, spine, back, bones, spleen, pancreas, liver, stomach, weak digestion, fevers, etc., and lack stamina and will power. This is the mooltrikona sign of the Sun. Leo is a fixed, positive, satvic, pitta, male, benevolent, barren and quadruped sign and, when rising in the ascendant with a strong Sun, makes the person noble, generous and gives majestic appearance. They prefer to be the centre of attention. Depending on the influences on the ascendant and/or the Sun, the sign Leo gives intelligence, strong will, initiative, awareness of authority and decisiveness, making their natives visionary, patient listeners, rulers, aristocratic, persevering, dramatic and bold or authoritative, dominant, ambitious, jealous, impatient, stubborn, demanding, irritable and impulsive. As Mercury is prime determinant for professional affairs, the Sun is general significator for success in profession and Venus rules entrepreneurial nature, depending upon their strength, Leos may a high service in government which offers security and fixed income, may earn through entertainment, sport, medicine, speculation or scientific pursuits, or may head large organizations, becoming organizers, s, contractors, corporators, leaders, politicians, etc. They will like to be self employed and will not like subordination. The influence of other planets on the tenth, first or second houses changes the professional pursuits. Leo is a fixed fire sign. It has a centripetal energy pattern, so the fire energy is radiating inward. Such a high concentration of fire energy makes them like the Sun. Aptly, the Sun rules Leo. Leos are very warm and can be very charismatic. There tends to be a heavy emphasis on identity, explaining the

pop description of their egocentricity. Because of the centripetal energy pattern, they tend to suck in other people’s attention, making them very sensitive to the abundance or lack thereof. Consequently, they are able to metamorphose into someone who will always have attention. Leo is also the sign of creativity, creating an identity or mythos that will capture the attention of others. Not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority of musicians and movie stars are Leos. The control issue is one of attention. Leo, the Lion: The Lion is the "King of the Jungle", a symbol of authority, majesty and power, representing the blossoming of the individual's creative vitality. If Cancer can be associated with the stage of a child becoming aware of the family unit as a little whole, then Leo is the warm-hearted, fun loving teenager who has awakened to a full sense of his/her individual creative potential, and in doing so is emerging in embryonic autonomy from the protective shell of the Cancer stage. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the most radiant of the “planets” (it is fully understood that the Sun is not technically a planet), and this again describes and represents the power, vitality and individual grandeur associated with this sign. Ideally Leo expresses integrity, honor and a regal dignity; whereas the less ideal manifestation takes the form of arrogance and self-righteousness. Even so, Leo is perhaps the most truly generous sign, since it is the natural instinct of a “king” to patronize his subjects. Leo needs to be acknowledged, and cannot bear to go unnoticed and unired. Leo is physiologically associated with the chest area in general and with the heart in particular. The heart acts as a central distributor of life-force through the various blood vessels, which are associated with Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo. Leo is also regularly associated with the back. As much as Leo is associated with Individuality, Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo, is related to friendships and collective group values, which potentially complements Leo, and provides for Leo it's natural field of expression. If Leo represents the creative intelligence of an individual, Aquarius would represent the collective store of humanity's intelligent creativity in the form of sciences, groups and associations, and various social/cultural activities and ceremonies through which knowledge and group values are preserved and disseminated. Leo belongs to the Fixed Cross and Fire Triplicity and could thus be considered the most stable and steadily focused of the Fire signs, while perhaps being the most lively, energetic and volatile of the Fixed signs. As the 5th sign of the zodiac Leo corresponds to the 5th House, and shares a number of themes with the 5th House, most notably the idea of individual authority, integrity, and creative intelligence. Leo and the 5th house govern the solar plexus region and mid and upper back, including the small intestine. They also govern power and strength of the muscular part of the heart. Potential problems if afflicted include heart attack, digestive problems, acidity, stomach problems and lack of physical strength and power. LEO: This sign is ruled by the Sun signifying intelligence, heart, male progeny, vitality, magnificence and a lot of affection. The sign rules spine, back, liver and pancreas. In case the Sun is weak and the sign Leo is afflicted then the native born under the sign are vulnerable to the diseases of heart, spine, stomach, blood, lack of stamina and sun stroke. It is fiery, positive and fruitless sign and signifies loving kindness. If the sign Leo rises in the Ascendant and the Sun is strong, the person born is noble, generous and has majestic appearance. The Sun's placement in the third indicates weak digestion and asthmatic disposition while its

placement in Trik Bhava signifies lack of vigor to the native. Ruby is known as the Gem for health for this sign and Coral is known as best for controlling persons anger as well as luck LEO: "I want to shine. I am aware of my own power. I have a free, creative mind and seek beauty and creativity in career. My ambitions are forever changing. I am private and secretive about my feelings. I carry alot of burden and responsibilities in life and have to work hard to achieve. I seek liberated and unusual partners, but like a structured family life. I am naturally intuitive and psychic and quick to philosophize. I seek nourishment and nurturing and escape into my own world to nourish myself."

The native is courageous, heroic and capable of prevailing upon others. Suffers from hunger, thrist (or diseases arising therefrom), mental and dental ailments. Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant): If Leo (Simha) is the ascendant house in the horoscope, its lagna is said to be Simha. A person born in Leo ascendant is a sensualist, an annihilator of his enemies, eats little, has few children, is an enthusiast and shows bravery and valiance in the battlefield.

Leo Lagna Leo natives often possess a striking, singular appearance, a manner, and an inclination to be served, as a king is served court or a lion by his pride, because the lion, Leo's symbol, king of beasts, and because the Sun, the lord of Leo, is the planet, the center around which all the other planets revolve. An Indian proverb mandates 'One jungle, one lion', and indeed the fact that the Sun is debilitated in the their own jungles in which to roar. It also suggests that the average Leo often displays more bluster than courage. As the Sun is both the lord of Leo lagna and the significator of first house creates a strong sense of self-interest for Leo natives, who may manifest as involvement in politics or government (since is the fifth house of ministry formation in the natural zodiac). Leos are often lucky with, or are attracted to investing in, property, because Mars, the Sun's friend, is simultaneously lord of the fourth house (property) and the ninth house (luck, gains). The fact that the Sun, which represents the atma or soul, signifies both the father and spiritual life, is exalted in the ninth house of father and spiritual life may cause an interest in spirituality, and may indicate that the native's father is an important man. Jupiter, the significator for children, is for Leo lord of both the fifth house of offspring and the eighth house of death, which either limits the her of

progeny or affects those children adversely. The eighth house influence is weaker here than it might be because fifth-house Sagittarius is Jupiter's mulatrikona and so is slightly stronger than eighthhouse Pisces. As the lagna lord, the Sun, is the brightest planet, and seventh lord is the dimmest one, Leos tend to rule, or want to rule, their marriages and partnerships.

It is a quadruped Rashi and a royal Rashi. It resorts to forests and rises with its head. It has a large, white body. It resides in the East and is strong during daytime." Parashara Says: "..Simha lagna has well developed bones and a broad forehead. He is of moderate stature, well built and muscular . His appearance is dignified, imposing and commanding. Persons born with this lagna are generally noble, large hearted, magnanimous and generous. They are helpful to mankind. They have great faith in friends and relatives. They become head of the organization with which they are connected. If they are in government or any commercial organization, they attain high positions there. They do not talk much. They are fond of authority and are brilliant and ambitious. They are firm in their thinking and attitudes. When they are Angry, they roar like lions. They are spendthrifts . They have capacity to face adverse circumstances. They want to maintain their authority in their household. Very often their married life is not happy. They enjoy sound health if there are no bad influences on the lagna or Ravi, the lord of this lagna." Das / Behari comment on Simha lagna: "Simha .... bestows a regal appearance, as if the life-force were vibrating from every part of your body. You have a broad face with strong bones, beautiful and expressive eyes. You may be a possessive parent, egotistical and selfish in temperament, and a braggart . You are excessively libidinous but not necessarily promiscuous. You are not satisfied with the material heights you attain and are always aspiring towards greater intellect, greater wealth, greater status, and greater respectability. Often you think you have achieved more than you really have; nevertheless, you are never satisfied, for you think you deserve more than you have received. You always strive to reach the top of the mountain. You are basically materialistic but like to assume that you are spiritually highly evolved. Involvement in work is intense and whole-hearted. You may be seen working adroitly on the subtle problems of life, whether related to physical sciences, psychology, or to concrete and technological problems in engineering, industry or economics.

It is not the subject matter that is significant: your complete involvement in whatever you undertake is of supreme importance to you. In that pursuit, your engagement of effort is total. There is a suddenness in your actions which gives your an element of surprise and unpredictability. However involved you may seem in a pursuit or relationship, you can suddenly end it. You are loyal to your friends, but that friendship can end suddenly. To some people you may seem ungrateful. The world exists only for your convenience and the satisfaction of your desires. In your social relationships, contradiction and self-aggrandizement seem to predominate. You may find married life difficult. Your spouse is very calculating and self-centered - which are some of Leo's traits as well. Compatibility becomes difficult. In such circumstances, you often act in a clandestine manner, concealing certain aspects of your life. You do not trust others :equal partnership is not a common factorin your life. ... gives rise to wealth in mutual combination. The Sun is lord of the Ascendant, Mercury lord of wealth and Mars is of course Yoga karaka. Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. It will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born in Leo Ascendant, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions. .... fond of eating meat and enjoying worldly enjoyments, will earn wealth and honor through the government, bereft of religion, dutiful in family affairs, hold a high rank of office, be majestic, strong, bold, speak sparingly, a miser, will trouble others, will wander in hills and forests, be irascible, firm in friendship, careless, inaccessible (or inviolable), will destroy his enemies, have famous sons, honor the virtuous, rich through agriculture etc., interested in business and will spend heavily on prostitutes and dancers. Spouse will suffer dental diseases. " T. Subba Row. (1881). "The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac" "V. Simha. This word contains a world of occult meaning within itself; and it may not be prudent on my part to disclose the whole of its meaning now. It will be sufficient for the present purpose to give a general indication of its significance. Two of its synonymous are Panchasyamand Hari, and its number in the order of the Zodiacal divisions (being the fifth sign) points clearly to the former synonym. This synonym--Panchasyam -- shows that the sign is intended to represent the five Brahmas -- viz., Isanam, Aghoram, Tatpurusham, Vamadevam, and Sadyojatam: -- the five Buddhas. The second synonym shows it to be Narayana, the Jivatma or Pratyagatma. The Sukarahasy Upanishad will show that the ancient Aryan philosophers looked upon Narayana as the Jivatma.* The Vaishnavites may not it it. But as an Advaiti, I look upon Jivatma as identical with Paramatma in its real essence when stripped of its illusory attributes created by Agnanam or Avidya-ignorance. ( * In its lowest or most material state, as the life-principle which animates the material bodies of the animal and vegetable worlds, and c. --Ed. Theos.)

The Jivatma is correctly placed in the fifth sign counting from Mesham, as the fifth sign is the putrasthanam or the son's house according to the rules of Hindu Astrology. The sign in question represents Jivatma -- the son of Paramatmaas it were. (I may also add that it represents the real Christ, the anointed pure spirit, though many Christians may frown at this interpretation.)* I will only add here that unless the nature of this sign is fully comprehended it will be impossible to understand the real order of the next three signs and their full significance. The elements or entities that have merely a potential existence in this sign become distinct separate entities in the next three signs. Their union into a single entity leads to the destruction of the phenomenal universe, and the recognition of the pure Spirit and their separation has the contrary effect. It leads to material earth-bound existence and brings into view the picture gallery of Avidya (Ignorance) or Maya (Illusion). If the real orthography of the name by which the sign in question is indicated is properly understood, it will readily be seen that the next three signs are not what they ought to be. ( * Nevertheless it is a true one. The Jiv-atma in the Microcosm (man) is the same spiritual essence which animates the Macrocosm (universe), the differentiation, or specific difference between the two Jivatmas presenting itself but in the two states or conditions of the same and one Force. Hence, "this son of Paramatma" is an eternal correlation of the Father-Cause. Purusha manifesting himself as Brahma of the "golden egg" and becoming Viradja--the universe.

Simha Chandra = emotional need to be the center of attention. For a female, relationships that do not focus intently upon the Simha-Chandra native may cause jealousy. (E.g., the husband's work relationships.) For the male, his wife's gracious diplomacy and skill in maintaining a network of social relationships may threaten his personal need to be the constant center of her love. Leo Lagna - Light on life by De Fouw & Svoboda Leo natives often possess a striking, singular appearance, a regal manner, and an inclination to be served, as a king i.e served by his court or a lion by his pride, because the lion, Leo's symbol, is the king of beasts, and because the Sun, the lord of Leo, is the royal planet, the center a round which all the other planets revolve. An lndian proverb mandates 'One jungle, one lion', and indeed the fact that the Sun is debilitated in the third house suggests that Leo natives neglect to make room for their younger siblings, who must find their own jungles in which to roar. It also suggests that the average Leo often displays more bluster than courage. That the Sun is both the lord of Leo lagna and the significator of the first house creates a strong sense of self-interest for Leo natives, which may manifest as involvement in politics or government (since Leo is the fifth house of ministry formation in the natural zodiac) Leos are often lucky with, or are attracted to investing in, property, because Mars, the Sun's friend, is simultaneously lord of the fourth house (property) and the ninth house (luck, gains). The fact that the Sun, which represents the atma or soul, signifies both the father and spiritual life, is exalted in the ninth house of father and spiritual life may cause an interest in spirituality, and ma y indicate that the native's father is an important man. Jupiter, the significator for children, is for Leo lord of both the fifth house of offspring and the eighth house of death, which either limits the number of progeny or affects those children adversely. The eighth- house influence is weaker here than it might be because fifth house Sagittarius is Jupiter's mulatrikona and so is slightly stronger than eighth-house Pisces.

Because lagna lord Sun is the brightest planet, and seventh lord Saturn is the dimmest one, Leos tend to rule, or want to rule, their marriages and partnerships. This situation may result in troubled relationships, because Saturn, an enemy of the Sun who is the furthest planet from the Sun, is lord of both the seventh house of relationships and the sixth house (which is twelfth from the seventh) of enemies. LEO: David Frawley - Astrology of the Seers Leo is the sign of the Sun (positive), fixed fire, the solar plexus of the Cosmic Man, a lion. As sign no. 5, it shows a need for order and harmony around a central will and character influence. Leo individuals possess a strong sense of self, character and will in life. They know who they are and want others to recognize it. They are often proud, bold, ambitious and aristocratic. They respond strongly and personally to things and are dramatic, sometimes vain, in their self-expression. They like to attract attention and may talk a lot about themselves. They like to shine in social situations and may dominate others. They prefer to be the center of attention and value honor, respect and prestige. They are often strong souls and possessed of fine principles and good intelligence. They can be refined in their manners or philosophical in their outlook on life. Leos have strong and noble hearts but can suffer from too powerful emotions or too much need for attention. They do not always do well in partnership and tend to form alliances with inferiors or to subordinate their partners to them. They may suffer from their children as they do not always give them enough independence. They like to turn others into satellites, who may in turn rebel against them. If they can control their pride they can develop much power of character that can take them through all the highs and lows of life and grant them a spiritual perception. Inwardly they can development the greatness of soul and character. As they have a high standard for themselves they can become very dejected if they fail or do not succeed as much as they wish. Such fallen Leo types can be among the most miserable of people. Leo –Simha – David Frawley - Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology The fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo, is indicated by a lion, which is the meaning of its Sanskrit name 'Simha'. Emblematically, it is represented by a circle connected with an upward curving arc at its right top corner which tapers downward with a slight twist to the right. The lion and the emblem for the Leo stand for the stage of individualization. The roaring lion indicates the individual soul separated from Anima Mundi or the world soul. It roams around the forest of chaos, the Great Illusion or Maya, and ultimately accomplishes its destiny by realizing itself. These symbols refer to the root of the divine creative impulse. Leo enables the inner being to manifest on the outer plane. This exlernalization of the subjective essence is the outcome of the Divine creative impulse. Several stages have to be crossed before its final result is achieved. At this stage in cosmogenesis, the Divine essence assumes a creative aspect like the vital cosmic electricity named Fohat in occult literature, the thread of primordial light. During its operation, it enters the labyrinth of chaotic matter and runs through various planes of manifestation, tying itself into knots and moving in spirals, establishing various force centers to finally emerge as the universe and Man. This is a long pilgrimage during which much change occurs between the primeval potential and its appearance on the mundane level. In predictive astrology, as a result of the fifth cosmic impulse, the child takes shape in the mother's womb, ideas in an author's mind concretize on paper, and the artist expresses his inner inspiration in outer form. In occult literature, 'Fohat' is the active (male) potency of the 'Shakti*, the female creative power in nature. In this context, the relationship between male potency and female reproductive power can

be approached a little differently. According to the Hindus there is a bi-polar expression of the primordial energy, one side of which acts on the other to produce creation. The Hegelian thesis, which interacts with its antithesis and results in synthesis, is a reflection of the same cosmic creative process. The ive form of energy is as important for creation as is the active one. The ive energy, known in Yoga philosophy as Prakriti or Nature, is the means of expression for the active energy, Spirit or Purusha, Prakriti in Hindu mythology is the mother of all men. The goddesses in their different names and forms are aspects of the ive cosmic energy. They are the creative agents of mother nature. Such important Hindu Goddesses are Uma, Durga, Kali and Yogamaya. Several have a lion as their vehicle. The incongruity of feminine power, the embodiment of delicate feeling, associated with a fierce animal, the lion, the king of the forests, reveals the relationship between Fohat and the feminine cosmic energy. The lion as the vehicle for the Goddess refers to two special responsibilities entrusted to the feminine energy in nature, power and grace in the creative process. All ancient religions give great importance to the lion and emphasize its regal splendor. It is not merely the graceful curves of the fierce animal which attracted the ancient seers to it. The spiritual power capable of transforming human nature into something divine was associated with the lion. The Hon has a highly sensitized natural force which has a tremendous impact on the psyche. The lion possesses great courage and electrical energy concealed within it. This inner vitality makes it the ruler of the forest. The power concealed in the physical form of this medium sized animal enables it to command allegiance of even the largest animals. The lion in relation to the cosmic creative power refers to the latent energy in Hiranyagarbha or the primordial egg, which requires the impact of the primordial light for its activation. Leo, as the fifth zodiacal impulse, represents this primordial light which works on the individual to arouse him to the state of creativity. The inner immortal ruler residing in the sacred cave of the heart is the real source of creativity by churning his eternal depth. Much of the characteristics of Leo can be understood relative to its animal symbol. The lion does not waste its vital energy or virility. It copulates rarely and only for reproductive purposes. Leo Ascendants are generally less sexually active than others but when they arc it commonly results in impregnation. The external form of a lion is often dirty and smells unpleasant. The animal is selfcentered, but inwardly, it is active, attentive and energetic. Considering the human being in totality, his external nature is ordinary, imperfect and impure, quite different from the inner being who is ever shining, the true Self beyond time and space. The Hon represents the individual whose external self resembles the unattractive form of the lion while the inner Self corresponds to the lion's inner power. The geometrical representation of Leo indicates its essential features. The circle stands for wholeness, for the Golden Egg, the Hiranyagarbha, containing the totality of the evolutionary potential. At this stage of cosmic generation, the hard crust of the individual egg breaks and the energy contained within flows out. The individualized energy capsule, or soul which materializes itself, is symbolized by the downward curving arc of the circle. The purpose of involvement in matter is to gain experience. For this the soul undergoes a series of births and deaths and finally returns to its source. The last phase of the journey, when the pilgrim turns his gaze homeward and begins the path of return, is symbolized by the upward curved arc at the right of the symbol. The symbol as a whole represents the entire pilgrimage of the soul. The fifth zodiacal impulse thereby contains within itself the course of the soul's journey from beginning to end.

The Leo emblem shows the relationship between the manifestation and its original source. The circle is perfection, fullness, the totality of latent possibilities. The evolutionary impulse is depicted by the upward 1 jutting of the descending arc. The outer crust of the Golden Egg is broken by the creative impulse of the individualizing soul. With the breaking of the circle, which also implies the destruction of its pristine perfection, the evolutionary pilgrimage begins. The initial phase of this movement is involvement in matter. During the successive phases of the materialization process, the life force represented by the arc moves deeper into matter until the urge to return to the source dawns on the soul. The outward turned hook at the end of the arc shows that the ultimate goal of all manifestation is its return to its original source. Leo born individuals have a great creative urge. Its level and form depends upon the influences impinging on the individual. Often, the urge to create is just for its own sake and not directed to a specific goal. If the creative impulse functions on the physical level, there will be procreation. If the impulse is on the mental plane, there is emotional and intellectual creation. Leo shows the tremendous urge to concretize that so far has been unmanifest. This concretization of the universal life force is linked with the process of human individualization when the human soul is separated from the group soul. At this point, one stage of evolution is differentiated in a radical way from another. This is symbolized by the single circle contained in the emblem with a loop at its top, as if the life force is coming, out of the wholeness of the circle. Astrologically, one finds that Leo ascendants usually feel good, right and happy as long as they are involved in creative activity, whether for themselves, their family or society. SIMHA: Bepin Bihari-Fundamentals of Vedic Astrology Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by a lion and is characterized as masculine, fiery and fixed. The significance of the lion symbol is understandable when we realize that the primary quality of this radiation is the Divine urge towards procreation. This is the stage wherein the Cosmic Man darts forth his creative thread of Primordial Light into the labyrinth of chaotic matter, establishing different force centers which lead ultimately to the individualization of man. At this stage the spiritual principles transform themselves into material forms. Leo represents creativity, the articulation of the Divine Nature in man; it is Divine Nature objectified. Fire is the Divine symbol of penance, creativity, and purification, but it is also an element of Nature which cannot adapt itself to anything else. Fire cannot exist in active form in anything else. Leo is self-centered, aspiring, ambitious, and arrogant; it is fierce in action, calculating in sexual encounters, choosy in social relationships. Etymologically, Simha means "the protector of its followers," and those who align themselves with this sign will have much natural force at their command. One supreme quality of Leo is its suddenness, aggression and frontal attack. The Sun owns this sign but no planet is exalted or debilitated here. There is a grace and glow radiating from the Sun. No force which furthers the evolutionary impulse by procreating, or by protecting and leading its followers, can ever experience restrictions on its capacity. This is why no planet is debilitated here. Simha is one of the most mysterious signs of the zodiac. Leo: The Individualisation Sign - Bepin Bihari - Introduction to Esoteric Astrology Leo, which is Latin for lion, indeed reveals a very close relationship between the king of the forest and those who are born under this sign. When you look at a lion, you are thrilled at its majestic appearance. Life force vibrates through every sinew of it, tremendous light scintillates through its eyes, and overpowering magnetic strength radiates from all

over its body. So does the Leo-ascendant. He has a strong constitution, a majestic gait and a very forceful personality. In many ancient scriptures, the lion is represented as a deeply occult symbol. In the Indian scriptures Lord Mahadeva is clothed in a lion's skin. Yoga Maya, Durga, Kali and many other female deities representing the Nature's negative creative powers have often lion as their vehicle. Great seers and sages of ancient India including Adi Sankaracharya, the great champion of nonviolence, sat on lion's skin while engaged in deep meditation. The Greek hero Hercules, son of Zeus, while submitting himself to the orders of Eurystheus at the bidding of the Delphic Oracle killed the Nemean lion asthe first act, the skin of which he afterwards always wore. The Lion Gate at Mycenae, the lion hunt-dagger depicting the fight between human individuals and lions, and the wall sculpture of a lion hunting scene from the palace of Assurbanipal of the Nineveh civilization cannot be brushed aside merely as pieces of artistry. The compound creature Sphinx with a lions's body but often with the face of a man, ram or a hawk is a profoundly esoteric symbol depicting the process of individualization"; the occult process by which the nature's entities, or the lower animals that is, the common animals like elephant, horse, cat, dog, etc., become human egos is even today a closely guarded secret Astrologically, the 5th Bhava represents the creative urge of the Cosmic Man, Kala Purusha. The 5th sign of the zodiac is intimately connected with this Bhava. This can be indirectly seen from its symbol &l which to a great extent resembles a living sperm eager to unite and procreate. It is therefore logical to expect that Leo-born individuals have great creative urge and tremendous aspiration to grow and multiply, to expand and develop. Their creative faculty is expressed at all levels of manifestation. Even on the physical plane, they have great sexual potential. They indeed represent those egos that move rapidly on the path of involution, of course without forgetting their divine ancestry. They are restless, full of life-force, always eager to explore new avenues, to establish new ramifications and to interpret a new the meaning of existing things and relationships. Divine manifestation within the time space parameter symbolically represented as forest often provides the field for its activities where it carries out its mission of procreation, protection and guidance. For this very reason, one finds .that Leo individuals are ideal (though possessive) fathers, powerful though dictatorial rulers, able s, far-sighted planners but occasionally selfish and uncompromising brutes. Leo has been assigned by ancient seers the title of Prajapati. Jupiter as well as Brahma are also given this title. Etymologically, this word means the protector of the followers. Etymologically, this word means the protector of the followers; it may indirectly even mean the lord of consciousness. Mythologically, Prajapatis createdthe world in their own image. They are Archangels. Whatever might have beenthe connotations and implications of this word, at least one things is evident, that the great powers such as Brahma, Jupiter and Leo reflect some of the domineering traits of the Logos, the God Almighty. They are rulers of the masses. They are leaders of the new age; they are heralders of a new cycle of evolution. From this, it follows that the Leo-born may be original, intellectual and saviour of the masses. These persons champion the traditional values and ancient cultures. But they feel miserable in executing orders promulgated by others. They will be eager to lay down rules for others, they may even be valiant commanders with superb strategy but they would prefer suicide to carrying out dictates of others. They may refuse to follow others howsoever eminent the latter may be. Even when defenceless and poor, they may forgo and succour from others.

Leo-personality swells under responsibility; not physical exhaustion but psychological frustration destroys his life-force. The 5th sign is intimately related to the five pointed mystic star. Primarily it is a spiritual sign. It represents the Divine Child always holding the hand of its Father in heaven but impetuously jumping in the world of matter. It is like a devout Christian pilgrim zealously acquiring higher status, constructing a bigger mansion and working for greater renown. Leo-ascendants rise very high in the material world though they always wish to be associated with religious and spiritual life. Leo represents that stage of manifestation where consmogenesis and anthropogenesis began in the already created time – space dimension. For different levels of manifestation Aether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth were created and for human metabolism ears, skin, eyes, tongue, and nose became necessary. So that the macrocosm and microcosm could remain in constant relationship at all levels, the faculties of hearing, touch, form, suppleness and smell were also produced. As a result of these elements and their correspondences at different levels of manifestation, Leo controls extensively all these levels where time and space having been created provide bases for the emergence of concrete shapes and forms. It is there for no surprise that the Leo people are planners capable of expressing in concrete many abstruse and difficult ideas. They can even gain valuable experiences from crude and unhappy events of life. The Leo-ascendants may be seen working adroitly on subtle problems of life whether these are related to physical sciences, psychological and psychic developments of the individual or to concrete and technological problems relating to engineering, industry or economics. In some cases, these individuals are possessive parents expecting that the loyalty of their children should not extend beyond them. Because of their sharp intellect and immense capacity to interpret and adapt events and relationships to their advantage, the Leo-born are successful lawyers, diplomats and politicians but they are likely to be crafty, cunning, manoeuvring and deceitful. Extremely selfish and occasionally even murderous, they may rise to divine heights or stoop to beastly depths. In this way, one finds that the scope of expansion for Leo-ascendants is very extensive. One supreme quality of Leo is suddenness.Intimately connected with Sun and Mars, the Sun being its lord and Mars being the lord of its 4th anq9th houses,it is naturul to expect that most of the important events in the life of a Leo-ascendant should have an element of surprise and suddenness. These planets precipitate their results quickly, instantaneously and therefore we may find Leopeople succeeding in sudden, aggressive and instantaneous frontal attacks. Outspokenness is their virtue. In life, often benefic influences come to them unheralded, almost as a surprise to themselves. Philosophically one knows that Truth dawns instantaneously. It is not a gradual process: it does not happen as a result of discipline and preparation. From the plastic state of things solidity emerges suddenly; there is no intermediate stagebetween liquid and solid states. Similarly, concretization of an ideatakesplace suddenly, instantaneously. What the biologists call mutation takes place without any reference to the past. In the same way, the life of a Leo-ascendant experiences a radical transformation unheralded. When this takes place, it completely alters the course of his life. This change generally refers to material attainments and relates to more money, higher status, and greater honour. Internal changes are generally gradual and they take a much longer period to occur, while changes in the life of a Leo-born are mainly related to external environment. An unhappy event in the life of a Leo-born is that his married life is not very harmonious. Apart from empirical experiences, one finds astrological justification for this feature. Saturn is the bitterest enemy of the Sun, the lord of the ascendant. Lord of the ascendant and the lord of the 7th house are hostile to each other. Jupiter is generally the greatest benefic for married harmony and family

concord but the Leo-ascendant has no house where Jupiter can be considered an unmitigated benefic. And, the Moon, the bestower of emotional stability, has the ownership of the 12th house. It is therefore no surprise that most Leo-ascendants feel a sense of loneliness, and they consider themselves not properly understood. They keep to themselves their innermost joys and sorrows, pleasures and pains; what they share are merely some superficial experiences. Saturn, a planet of constriction, makes the Leo-ascendant very unhappy in accepting the obligations of a married life. Harmony in married life depends on mutual respect and adjustments, but Leo is "Me and Mine", there is no willing and natural affection (as distinguished from duty) radiating from Leo-ascendants. Saturn arouses egotistic feelings, the very antithesis of married happiness. The Sun and Mars are favourable planets for Leo, but the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn are not completely so. The Moon has lordship of the 12th house, Jupiter that of the 8th and Saturn of the 6th and tbe 7th. These planets therefore always create difficulties even when they bestow benefic results. For spiritual progress of the individual, a helpful disposition of all these five planets is essential. Generally speaking, Leo-ascendants would not beable to attain the highest stage of Paramhamsa--Adeptbood. In spite of their having the most favourable influence from the Sun-the Soul of the Universe, and Mars--the valour of the Cosmic Man, Leo ascendants are so much obsessed with themselves that they may not find it easy to tread the "path of withdrawal". Such individuals may be able to propound the Vedantic philosophy irably well but in their personal life they would be very autocratic and self-centred. Egotism would be so much entrenched in them that they may be prepared even to renounce their material attainments merely to gain their own spiritual salvation. The stressin their life would always be on themselves either consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes some sort of imbalance, split personality, inconsistency and contradiction would be found in the Leo-born. Mercury is favourable for Leo. It is lord of the 11th, the house of income generation and friendship, as well as of the 2nd, the house of patrimony and speech. But Mercury is an eunuch and has no special impact of his own but it gives the effect of those planets with whom it is associated or of the house where it is located. Mercury functions like a mirror, or a magnifying glass intensifying the rays of the planets with which it is associated. But Mercury functions primarily on the intellectual plane. As such it enables Leo-ascendants to have a sweet tongue, often full of wit and capable of impressing even their adversaries. These individuals as a result of their intellect and power of expression would be able to earn much money, a large number of friends and well-wishers as well as high social position. Unless intellect is well cultivated and the power of expression, both of speech and writing, is well developed, the Leo-born would lack their most effective equipment for forging a place in the world. Venus, the lord of luxury, sociability and sexual relationship, has ownership of the 10th, the house of professional activities and of the 3rd which represents brothers, sisters and difficulties. The ascendant-lord Sun and Venus are not favourably inclined to each other. Therefore we may find that the Leo-born persons sometimes encounter difficulties in regard to their professional activities and in relation to their family relations, particularly with their collaterals. Moreover, the Sun gives life, light and warmth to others but it does not tolerate collaterals around itself. There is only one Sun in the universe: there is no question of equality for the Sun which is primarily a planet of aristocracy, hierarchy and royalty. In love affairs too, the Sun may not deny to itself the pleasures of a harem

where it can command anyone to its subordination and service, but it would not feel happy in sharing its pleasures in the spirit of partnership with others. In politics, such persons may work for the poor and for so called democracy but in their own life they would be autocratic. Venus, on the other hand, is a social planet. It shares its joys and pleasures; it has no taboos, no restrictions. There is an abandon in the life of Venus. These basic differences between Venus and the Sun often create problems between the basic urges of the Leo-ascendant and the demands of his professional and social life. It is also found that sex and women intervene in an unconventional and indirect way in his life. Let us take a few examples to illustrate the above principles. Chart No. 1 is that of a successful lawyer in a small district town. By hard work, diligence and intelligence he acquired a high position in society. Mars in the 11th house enabled him to earn money abundantly, but the disposition of Mercury in the 12th resulted in huge expenditure. He had neither any brother nor any sister. He had no friends either. A strong Leonine urge to maintain his identity, often called egotism, was very much entrenched in his personality. He was a Vedantin, very religious, and a believer in One Universal Life pervading all, but he did not like others to operate on the level of equality--the other person must be either higher or lower to him to maintain a harmonious relation with him. The strong points in the chart, namely Rahu in the 3rd, Mars in the 11th and benefics flanking the Lagna must be noted while evaluating the course of his events. The Sun, lord of the ascendant in the 12th, is significant whereby materially, by way of worldly status, the present life of the individual may be considered ordinary to a great extent but there may be some occult attainments in store for him. Chart No.2 is that of an Indian foreign Service personnel. He is well built, healthy, full of vigour but uncompromising. He did not have a brilliant academic career, but suddenly secured a good position in the competitive examination and entered the most coveted service in the country. He has a fine intellect, and when he wishes, he can be very sociable too. His married life is not smooth. He can talk philosophy, knows the basic religious values but does not wish to follow them in his own personal life. He has bright service prospects. Ultimately he retired as a Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs in India. From the above it could be seen that Leo-ascendants are healthy, well built and courageous, capable of taking bold initiatives in life. Deeply egotistic, they are incapable of maintaining friendly relations on equal with others. They have fine intellect and can attain much material affluence but harmony is often wanting in their married life. They are capable of becoming religious. They always want to enforce traditional values and conventional morality, though they themselves are not always able to do the same. Leo represents the basic life-force on its downward course of

involution for creating and populating the space-time dimension of the manifest universe. It is a profoundly occult sign but it functions mainly on the material level of creation.

Leo is ruled by the Sun, and its symbol is the Lion, Leo is a Fire sign, creative and grandiose. Just like the Sun is the center of our planetary system, Leo native see themselves as the center of all life. There is no sign in the Zodiac more proud or regal. Like their symbol the Lion, Leo native rule majestically over their respective kingdoms, be they an entire nation, an office, or simply a household. Leo native are warm and generous by nature and believe in giving themselves wholeheartedly to the right causes. In return, however, they expect the same loyalty and integrity they exhibit from others. The role they assume is that of nobility and therefore tend to do things in a grand and flamboyant manner. Leo native feel most in their element when they are the object of everyone’s attention and will seek the spotlight whenever they can. They have a talent for appearing regal and stately before others and spend a great deal of energy influencing how others perceive them. Leo native are practical, enthusiastic, hard working, and remarkably self-confident. They tend to gravitate towards positions of authority and their strong sense of integrity and optimism make them excellent leaders. They are at their best in positions of power and responsibility. However, like the Lion, they can become lazy and indolent if their desire for authority is not fulfilled. Leo native like the good life and will spare no expense to surround themselves with the finest luxuries and most lavish possessions. Nothing is too good for them, from the restaurants they frequent to the way they dress. They have a dislike for the ordinary and the routine, and are constantly seeking new excitement. If Leo native have an Achilles heel it is in their insatiable thirst for iration. Their egos demand constant flattery and praise. If they not receive their share, they become withdrawn and sulky, but are too proud to ask for complements. However, their natural optimism and Sunny disposition brings them back around, and before long, they are back to their original pomp and flamboyance. Leo Sign in the Ascendant: If Leo is in the ascendant, the native is a man of great strength whose chest is hard and whose form and face are fierce as a lion's; a man fond of flesh who is honoured by the king; one who has depth, firmness, steadfastness, and courage; An arrogant person who speaks little and runs after wealth; a greedy and hungry man who delights in striking others; a careless person who is very irritable and is hard to resist; one who is firm for his friends and a saint (sadhu) among those who pay obsequies to him; A well established man who undertakes all the duties of a household; one who is divorced from righteousness (dharma) in sexual acts; a man who slays adverse men of varying character, protecting his relatives who delight in murder and injury;

The Heart This correlation indicates the vital power of the sign. The heart is the dominating organ of the body and the Leonine person is most frequently the dominating person who takes the lead most naturally and organizes others to follow, and who generously gives in a "heart-felt" way. Indicative phrases are: "He puts his heart into what he does," "He said that from his heart."

The Sign Simha (Leo) - A Course in Indian Astrology Muthuswami We shall now learn about the sign owned by the Sun-namely Simbha, symbolised by lion -the King of Animals- The sign extends from 120° to 150° from the beginning of Mesha in the zodiac. If you divide the zodiac into three equal sections of 120°. Simha becomes the first in the second section 120°- 240°. Signs are classified as Dharma, Artha, Kaama or Moaksha. Then Mesha and its trines (Simha, Dhanus) are Dharma signs. So Simha is the second of the Dharma signs. The asterisms Magha, Poorrvaphaalguni (poora) and the first quarter of (Uthra) Utharaphaalguni are located in the Simha sign. The lords of these stars are respectively Kethu (Magha), Venus (Poorvaphalguni) and Sun (Utharaphalguni). Like its trines Mesha & Dhanus, Simha also is a barren sign and hence an Alpa - puthra Rasi. The signs Kanya, Vrischika, Vrishabha and Simha are signs with a low possibility of children. Hence in horoscope matching, both of the couple should not have their Ascendents and Moon signs in the above four 'barren' signs. Other characteristics of Simha sign are, earnestness, show of authority, independent views, boldness, adventure spirit, ambition, valour, power, smartness, influence, over others, leadership, ability to rule, self-respect, self-confidence, sharp intelligence, thorough and analytical thinking, acting on one's own decision, spiritualism, philosophic thoughts, heart-diseases, tendency to have swelling, quick susceptibility to diseases and quick healing. All these are due to its fiery nature. Its lord is the Sun, The king among the planets. For Moon, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter Simha is friendly sign while for Venus, Saturn and Rahu (and Kethu) it is an inimical sign (Sathru-Rasi). Simha is neither a sign of exaltation of any planet nor a sign of debilitation of any planet. Simha is a fixed sign (Sthira-Rasi) and hence it is characterised by authority, ambition, earnestness, alertness, boasting, leadership, commanding power, nobility power, courage, pleasant nature, self-confidence, intelligence, intuition, charge ability, good nature, trust worthiness, tendency to show off, masculinity and general active nature. Being the fifth sign of the zodiac, Simha signifies sports, gambling speculation, music, drama, entertainments and the like. These characteristics would be exhibited by persons born with the Ascendent in Simha provided the significators and the houses as well as the house-lords are strong. When we judge the persons born in the Simha we have to take of the various houses for instance the second house in Kanya owned by Mercury, which has also the lordship of the 11th. Also Mercury has Kanya as its exaltation sign while Venus (3rd and 10th lord of Simha Lagna) has the second house (Kanya) as the debilitation point. We shall describe below some of the characteristic of those born in Simha Lagna.

When the Ascendent does not have relations with malefics, those born in Simha would be having strong bones, bony growth, broad shoulders and broad forehead. The body would be fleshy and tough. As a lion they would have a tight belly. In a crowd they would be notable. When deciding the features we must take into consideration the relation between the Ascendent (Simha) and the other Planets (their aspects, conjunctions etc.). Persons with Simha Ascendent will be mostly with high thinking, high ideals in life, high imagination and tendency to help others. If Jupiter is favourable these people would be involved in relation with the government. But if related to Saturn they may have to suffer troubles from Government. As Sun is the lord of Simha, boldness virility, attacking attitude, courage, decisiveness tendency for forcing others, tendency to thrust one's views on others and such other characteristics of masculinity would be found in persons born in the sign Simha. Simha-Lagna persons would be showing affection and trust excessively on their friends and relatives. They would get leadership everywhere. Usually, presidents, registrars, office-heads and controlling authorities would be of Simha sign. The usually would have great love and affection to their subordinates and to people in general. They do not talk much, they would patiently hear what others say, but act according to their own decision, after weighing over all about the matter. Patience, forbearance and forgiving others are their characteristic. They would freely mix with people of high and low levels without any reservation and consequently they may become cheated and may feel often despair. They love to hear others praising them, and thus will fall victims to flattery. Simha Lagna should be vigilant about this and they must be watchful against others taking advantage over their love of flattery; they should be watchful, especially of natives with a strong Mercury who are experts to influence and win others. When there are obstacles Simha-Lagna persons have a special ability to tide over the obstacles. Firm determination helps them to rise up. They have a tendency to fly into a rage suddenly and then to talk aloud, however their quick anger would quickly cool down. They would strongly criticise errors and mistakes of other in honourable language if there is relation to Jupiter and in very mean language if related to Saturn. They would never even dream of anything below their status. Even at the expense of their own interests and comforts, they would come forward to help the deserving. But, they never like to serve under anyone. Weakness of Simha-Lagna persons and matters against which they should be watchful. Due to their tendency to take sudden decision and a similar action they may have to face troubles. If there is connection with Mars this weakness is enhanced. Therefore they should act only after having the advice of others and without losing balance of mind. The tendency to act on the basis of the present without thinking seriously about the past and future, would take the Simhians to trouble. They must be watchful on every direction. Majority of Simhians have a tendency to spend whatever they get, sometimes for others, sometimes to be flattered, and sometimes for fun. Be cautious about flattery. There is a possibility of being power-crazy for Simha-borns, and if they do not control their craze almost certainly they would have to face strong enmity of their subordinates. Similarly they like sophistication reforms too much. Reforms are good but one should not be slaves of reforms and sophistication.

Having good bodily power and immunity, Simha-borns do not easily fall victims of diseases of a longlasting nature. And when they get a disease, they would quickly recover too. But, they will be too much afraid of diseases. In our body the heart, vertebra, bone marrow, nerves, muscles, iota, artery etc. are related to Simha sign. Hence if in a nativity Simha sign is in a unfavourable house or if it is connected with planets which are associated with malefic positions (by lordship, position or aspect), then the native might suffer from the following diseases in the period, and sub-periods of such planets. Diseases of the heart, palpitation due to irregularity of blood circulation, meningitis, nerve-trouble, swelling, sunstroke, laziness epilepsy, malarial fever etc. Makara is the 6th sign (disease spot) and Kanya is the 2nd sign (Maaraka position) for Simha and hence for Simha-born, during the ruling periods of malefics in such positions such diseases are possible. Self-control, compulsory rest for at least some time every day meditation and prayer can prevent at least to some extent such diseases. Financial Matters: Simhians do not like to involve themselves in any small endeavour. They relegate such small things to others. They have usually a very good time in early life. When they grow in age there would be usually a gradual decrease in their earnings, for they have the tendency to help others freely and to take pride when the receiver becomes happy. Enviromnents: Both in 'their homes and outside they like to be leaders. That is they like to rule rather than to be ruled. They will choose good companions and be in very good relations with them. Whatever be the circumstances, they never give away the individuality and dignity. For luxury articles and for keeping the residence attractive they become extravagant and so it would be a bit difficult to make a woman born in Simha satisfied and happy by dress and luxury articles like ornaments. Attitude to of family: Simha-borns are deeply affectionate to women. But they never exhibit their affection. They would be devoted more towards the mother than towards father. They will have to be among women often and they might be misunderstood by their wives. Simhaborns would strive hard to uphold the prestige of wife and of the of the family. It is desirable for a Simha-born man to have a wife born in Mesha, Dhanus, Mithuna Thula or Kumbha. Women born in Simha would be interested in social work. Simha borns deeply love their children, but their children would like independence and do not like being controlled. Since the children, like their parents, are independent in attitude, great care is required to maintain healthy relations. Leadership qualities would be evident in childhood in them. Profession: Usually Simha-borns would have an occupation connected with some industry or the government, and a steady income and security would be associated with their profession. Occupations involving music, theatre arts, gold jewellery and gems are common for Simha-borns. They would have the ability to undertake professions of hard work and great responsibilities. Usually they would be chairpersons, managers, managing directors, officers, superintendents, sales managers etc. When Mars is favourable they might become army officers, surgeons, chemists, dentists, barbers, butchers or iron or copper workers. Many of them get occupations in defence and professions associated with defence or war. When judging about occupation, one must take in to consideration the relation with other planets. Handwriting: Modern astrological research workers have discovered relation between the birth-sign and handwriting. Simha ascendents will have usually 'round' hand writing and the letters would be

comparatively large. Lines would be fairly straight and equi-spaced. The letters will not show any tilting. Auspicious Days: For Matters associated with the Sun, for beginning medical treatment, for starting new ventures and for meeting one's superiors, Simha-borns will find Sunday favourable. On Sundays Sun's Hora are the best for them. (Each day is divided into 24 Hours. The word 'hour' corresponds to Hoara, probably derived from it. Form the Sunrise, the first Hora is that of the lord of the day. Thus the first Hoara on Sunday is that of the Sun, on Monday the first Hora is that of the Moon, on Tuesday the first Hoara is that of the Mars, on Wednesday that of the Jupiter, on Friday that of Venus and on Saturday that of Saturn. After the first Hoara the succeeding Hoaras will have the lords from the order Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, the order repeating again. Counting the Hoaras, the next day morning would be that of the lord of the fifth day. The order is fixed as the sixth day lord of the previous lord. Thus the first Hoara on Sunday is the Sun, the next lord is the lord of the sixth day from Sunday-Friday and hence the lord of the second Hoara on Sunday is Venus. The next in Mercury and so on repeatedly. It is always good to elect a benefic Kaalahoara for any venture, Guru hoara or Jupiter's Hoara. For Simha borns Monday is an inauspicious day and they are advised not to do very important matters on Monday, especially new ventures. Tuesday is good for them in matters of competitions, long travels and those requiring courage. Wednesday would be suitable for them for tending money, for, the borrower will be able to return it quickly. Thursday is good for giving gifts to husband or wife or children. Friday would. be good for short journeys. And Saturday is as bad as Monday for Simha-Lagna. Good Colour: Orange, red and green are favourable colours while blue and white are unfavourable for Simha-Lagna. Auspicious numbers: 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 are favourable while 2, 7, 8 are unfavourable. Hence Simha natives would better choose numbers involving the favourable digits for their phones, Vehicles, house etc. Places signified by Simha: Places where wild animals live, forest desert, paths with thorns and pebbles, forts in mountains, government buildings, tall hills, clubs, cinema theatres, drama halls, sports field, gambling place, dancing place (balls), places of stock exchange, gold mines, industrial estate, Kitchen, Chimney, Oven, Stove, Terrace. Countries: , Italy, Sicily, Bohemia, Alps, Lancashire, California, Rome, Bristol, Prague, Damascus and Chicago. Places in India: Orissa, Bengal-Ganjam District, Kaamroop, East Deccan, Eastern bank. of Jamuna river, Southern Bihar, and Kalinga. Substances: Cumin, green chillies, capsicum, oily grasses, gold materials, ring, yellow stones, brass, medicines. Relation of Simha Sign to Planets and Other Signs: For Simha Lagna apart from the lord of Ascendent, Sun, Mars is a Yoga-kaaraka as the lord of a quadrant (4th, Vrischika) and a trine (9th, Mesha). Jupiter though the lord of a trine (5th), is also the lord of the 8th. Venus is not a benefic as the lord of the 3rd and the 10th (quadrant). Saturn also is not totally benefic due to its lordship of the 6th along with the 7th. Mercury is the lord of the 2nd and 11th. Moon is not a benefic for Simha-Lagna, as lord of 12th. Paraasara describes the relations of planets to the Simha- Lagna,as Kroora-J na-Manda-Bhruga va: Souniyaa: Bhowmaejya-bhaanalJa: Prabhavaeth yoagamaathrena

Na Subham Guru-sukrayoah: Nihanthaa Sowririnduscha Phalada: Samgathaervasaath Simhoadbhavasya jaathasya Proaktham-aethath Phalam Budhaia: Thus for Simha Lagna Mercury, Saturn and Venus are malefics while Mars, Jupiter and Sun are benefics. Mercury, on of the lordship of the 11th, Saturn by that of the 6th and Venus by the lordships of the 3rd (as well as a quadrant) become malefics. Sun being the lord of the first house, Mars due to the lordships of a trine (9th) and a quadrant (4th) are highly benefic in nature. Jupiter is benefic due to the lordship of the 5th. Saturn on of the lordship of the Maaraka-position (7th) is death inflicting. Though a trine lord and a quadrant lord in conjunctions would produce benefic results in the case of Simha-Lagna the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter does not produce such results evidently due to the lordship of the third for Venus and that of eight for Jupiter. Thula, Vrischika, Dhanus and Mesha are favourable signs while Makara and Meena are unfavourable. When Mars and Jupiter are connected with 4th, 9th, or 10th houses it is auspicious to Simha-Lagna. Sun in 1, 2 or 5 along with Mars and Mercury, the 9th Mars in Vrischika or Mesha, Saturn in Kumbha, Venus in Thula or Vrishabha are good combinations for Simha Lagna If Mars and Sun are posited in Vrishabha the native with Simha Lagna would get prosperity in occupation. All the above are not to be taken as such for all persons born in Simha. These are general ones. These would have to be modified for each nativity depending upon the planetary positions on the horoscope.

It is the fifth Zodiac, and is know as "Simha rashi" in Hindi. Sun travels through this Zodiac from July 23rd to August 22nd. The ruler of this zodiac is the kingly SUN. Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni are the Nakshatra under this Zodiac. Being a Leo is all about living the pleasure filled life with enthusiasm and being the King of the social jungle. Leos are extremely generous, warmhearted, outgoing and proud people with natural creative flairs. They never fail to use their potential to the hilt. Their sincere and enthusiastic approach to life makes them the most favoured people of all. Leos know how to have a nice time. And they certainly know how to give a nice time as well. Leos are superb host and extremely popular in social events. Yet, they maintain their dignity, and

command respect wherever they go. They have very high affinity for anything that`s dramatic and romantic. ionate to the core, they look for romance in their life. They groom and style themselves lavishly and have a very strong attraction for the opposite sex. This automatically leads to sentimental gushes and happenings of all variety around them. This fire sign also provides with ambition and strong craving for power (and never forget the term respect which is the bare essential for this lion). Although, a normal lion is faithful, and truthful to the core, their excessive lust for pride and ambition can make them extremely selfish, vain and a manipulator in few rare cases. Whatever the instance, nothing stands between their pride and themselves. You attack their pride, and you will have it. A lion will shred you own pride with as many ferocious cutting ways as possible. Leos are highly susceptible to flattery and iration. This is one of the weakest point of this zodiac born, along with their habit of being extravagant. They like to pamper themselves and their loved ones with gifts and treats. In more than one respect, they are definitely magnanimous. Leos live out of the ordinary wherever they go, and create equally fascinating outcomes in whatever they undertake. Maybe it`s the touch of Sun itself, but we can rarely do anything but enjoy basking in a Leo`s warmth. Health: Leo`s playfulness keeps them happily away from many ailments. Still, they have the tendency to run high fever. This zodiac rules Heart and spinal cords. Either they have very good heart, or they suffer from heart and back problems. Career: Leos are natural leaders, and make their way to head of any organisation. They are good in leading positions as MD, CEO, department head, lecturers, actors, artists, writers, athletes, politicians and welfare workers. They don`t have much problem in getting acknowledgement and respect wherever they go. Romance: Leos and romance go hand in hand. It is very difficult to see a Leo happy in life without a romantic liaison. Courting a Leo can be the most regal romantic affair for anyone. No one can resist a lion`s charm and ion. Just imagine when a lion turns on his/her full charisma when he is in love. A Leo is also faithful and tolerant of the person he loves. The romance is secure as long as the lion gets his fair share of pride and pampering. Although anybody on receiving end of Leo`s grace and devotion has measure upto the standard. Fiery signs like Sagittarius and Aries keep a Leos spirits up, but they can run in equally hot fights. Airy signs like Gemini, Libra and Aquarius go well with this sign. Watery signs like Scorpio, Cancerian, and Pisces also bring the best of their sentimental side, but they can also dampen their spirit in course of time. Earth signs of Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo don`t make much effect on Leos. Aquarius is one sign that appeals most to the lion.

The strength and clean disposition of the Moon is must for expecting peaceful domestic life. Besides this, it will also act a safeguard against financial losses and comfortable stay in foreign lands. Generally, Leo Ascendant people like to work independently and thus, prefer to be in business, entrepreneurship. Even in job they are best comfortable working with some authority under their desk.

And, if the union is taking place in bad houses (sixth, eighth or twelfth house) – this may result into a much struggled life without stability in overall matters. The aspect of Jupiter is, however, capable of reducing the inauspicious influence to some good extent. Being lord of sixth and seventh houses; Saturn is a Maraka planet; and when badly disposed – it may cause problems in married life like separation, legal disputes or divorce.

This may cause emotional setbacks, troubled married life, health issues (most likely related to blood, bones, and skin), financial losses (mainly due to cheating, theft and speculation), anxiety issues, suicidal tendencies (specifically when the Sun is also badly disposed), and trouble to mother or troubled relationship with mother. The best placement of Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) takes place when one of these is in either fifth or ninth house under auspicious planetary influences. The union or relationship of Nodes with Mercury, Venus and Saturn is often observed to be causing trouble in personal and social life.

Generally, Leo ascendant people are inclined towards promoting and ing others; and they love to be treated as guardian and a well disposed Jupiter and Mercury may give boost to this aspect. You may be a philanthropist, if there is an union of Jupiter and Mercury in twelfth house, and may like to be in social activities quite often.

It may be comparatively easier for you to have good command and control over people working under your supervision; and you may also be able to identify efficient and dedicated people. In addition to this, you may also be a trustworthy person willing to sacrifice for keeping your commitments. Generally, the success and reputation earned by Leo Ascendant people is mostly enjoyed by the people around them; and they are also more inclined towards giving and ing others. The lordship of Jupiter and Moon over fifth and twelfth houses respectively is the primary reason behind this.

Leo, being Fiery and fixed zodiac; and also being ruled by the Sun (considered as King in the planetary cabinet); it won’t be difficult for others to take notice about this aspect of your personality.

Decisions taken during inebriated state are more likely to pose threats in your life. Social Relationships: This is another factor, which requires caution and care. You may, at times, act on behalf of others without considering the pros and cons of the situation. Quite a time, you may take stand on other people’s behalf and later feel ditched and abandoned by them. This may also cause you to remain out of focus from important aspects of your personal life. Financial management: This aspect is also to be looked upon very carefully. You may remain more inclined towards achieving new targets; and, this may left your already achieved goals unattended and on the mercy of other people. The chances of financial losses and professional problems are more prominent due to mismanagement of funds against any significant fault in your professional efficiency. Therefore, try to give due time and consideration in your financial management too.

He is faithful and trusting. He is usually cheerful, fond of games, amusement and the theatre (preferring the stalls to the gallery!). His abounding vitality makes him very able in many ways, quick at work or play. He goes ahead by unconsciously banking on his innate self-assurance that the top must be the place for him. Such a naïve attitude of expectation often has something almost childish in it, but is this not consonant with the phrase "His Majesty, the baby"? He often feels unappreciated, since he looks to others for the same open-handed trust which he himself gives. He fails to find it and is hurt when he finds his trust misplaced. He tends to do everything in a rather "big" way. His handwriting will be large. In love he is whole-heartedly and sincerely affectionate, wanting to bring Sun-shine and happiness to the loved one. Overstress or misuse of these traits will mean domineering insistence on being top-dog," refusal to be content with second place, a conceited, self-appraising, snobbish attitude, a desire to keep the reins of power and make no changes. A "power-complex" will develop. Affection may become too patronizing and the feeling of personal royalty, may lead to the treating of others as subjects. Speed may become impatience.

The light of the Sun is covered by clouds. As a child the Leo native will be Sunny, happy, strong, playful, and affectionate. He should not be too constantly squashed, even if he does become too pleased with himself, as it hurts him to damp his natural high spirits and enthusiasms. The tendency to be bossy with other children should be gently restrained, not by refusal to let his natural leadership come out, but by showing him that he must play fair and others must have their turn, even though he does think he can do it best. He must be made to realize that it is undignified to show off. Physical Characteristics Good strong, well-formed back. Red lips and good colour. Generally a Sunny disposition, nose straight and short, giving appearance of up-tilted nostrils. Dignified poise, quick manner and walk. Diseases Those which affect heart and back. Way of Life The Leo native is at his best in any sphere where his natural urges can be reasonably expressed. He is therefore better as a leader than a follower, better where a broad sweep is required rather than too close an application to detail, and where he can feel himself the king-pin, rather than a common rafter, and where his organizing ability is appreciated and not resented. He should be where a little showing off and publicity will be appropriate. Hobby These should be gay and cheerful, including games and amateur acting. The Leo likes to spend money on his amusements and to entertain his friends. The theatre is much enjoyed. Leo Ascendant – Sign and Houses Dr. Shanker Adawal

The native will live near a dairy, or a jewellery shop. Bhava 1 = Simha Lagnesha = Surya Ravi = Soul-Self. Lord Surya rules swabhava of great friend Kuja Bhava-1 = competition for social validation . In order to win that competition a person needs to be born with a healthy, vital, well-coordinated combination of physical behaviors and social traits. The Simha native seeks to develop the physical personality identity through association with royal figures, politicians, persons of high intelligence and creative genius, games and entertainments, and high entitlements of every kind. The social personality has an inherent affinity for bright, hot light; highest mountains; speculative winnings, theatrical performance, one's own children. the native is particularly influenced by the presence of the Divine in human life. This presence need not be articulated, but the Simha native is always aware of the godlike nature of human beings. Simha natives are generally bold and confident, dominating and self-centered, regal and radiant. Surya rules only one domain in the nativity, which gives Simha (and Karkata) natives a singularly focused intensity of personality. They strive to maintain a competitively confident personality and regal physical appearance. Physical appearance depends on the condition of D-1/D-9 Simha including rashi, bhava, companion Graha, drishti, etc. Generally, Simha-lagna shows a pitta oOr slightly reddish cast to the complexion, a subtle golden glow, relative to the gene pool. (at a more subtle astrally based but physically perceptible level, Soma's rashi and characteristics also influence the coloring.) Psychically, Simha lagna projects an aura of intense confidence and dynamic life force. Unless Surya is damaged, Hari-lagna have a bright and riveting physical countenance which magnetically attracts attention. Many celebrities and performance artists, models, dancers,and others who make their living with and through the glamorous appearance of their physical bodies have Simha rising along with Ravi well disposed. Simha: Rulership via Divine Right Simha natives can project a distinctive leadership personality aura which emanates from one's sensed entitlement via Divine Right. If Simha lagna = Magha, one rules autocratically by divine fiat with little concern for the needs or opinions of others. (Dick Cheney, Napoleon Bonaparte, Henry Ford.) The domain occupied by lagnesha Surya will predict the style and location of adult manifestation of Simha's creative, domineering life force. "You do what you gotta do." lagnesha Surya/Dhanusha in bhava-5 = politics, genius, travel, and humanistic confidence Richard Nixon; Saint Josemaria Escriva; Paramahamsa Yogananda Steve Jobs lagnesha Surya/Kumbha in bhava-7 = business partnership networks JFK, Jr. - lagnesha Surya in bhava-4=schooling, patriotism, owned properties and vehicles, childhood home (had he lived longer, probably would have become a real-estate tycoon)

Nicolas Sarkozy =Ravi in bhava-6, social class conflict and divorce Marriage: In order to carry out the mandate of a Shani-ruled yuvati bhava, Simha lagna will typically marry a Kumbha-profile spouse who is elder, senior, more experienced, pragmatic, materialistic, and socially well-networked. N. Bonaparte - Josephine = 8 years his elder, famous social networker in Paris (Josephine knew "everyone", 1795) Richard Nixon - Mrs. Pat Nixon = a year older than her husband, intrepid fundraiser [Kumbha] and networker, notably conservative in beliefs and personal conduct GHW Bush-41 - Barbara Bush = not chronologically his elder but her conservative traits, social networking skills, and remarkably elderly appearancemark Mrs. Bush as a suitable spouse for the politically ambitious Simha lagna male S. Jobs' second, long-term marriage to a younger spouse is more famous than his first, un-avowed, marriage-via-childbirth. The mother of his first child who by Jyotisha standards constitutes his first spouse was not elder but was associated with progressive social change movements which is another attribute of Kumbha. L-1 Surya occupies 7, suggesting that spousal ego = dehumanizing lack of comion = problematic in the first union. The first Shani-ruled union did not succeed due to Surya-Shani conflict. Simha's second marriage is ruled by Budha, a karaka for youth; second marriage to a beautiful and fertile younger woman. If the Shani-ruled spouse of the Simha native is not elder, more conservative, or exceptionally wellnetworked - the marriage will not succeed. Virgo in the Second Houses. If Virgo is in the second house, Mercury becomes the lord of two houses of finance. It also becomes a planet of "Value" and "Plenty". The influence of Mercury in such a case on a house and its lord will, therefore, enhance the value and prospects of that house and make it rich and of high quality. Strong Mercury und gives much wealth. Such a person earns through "interest" on deposits etc. for the yoga indicates income (11th house), through "finance" (2nd house). Such a person has many elder sisters to his mother, as Mercury a female planet becomes lord of the second house. On the contrary if Mercury is weak and afflicted, by malefic through association or aspect, the native (a) gets hindrances in his education in boyhood (b) gets loss of wealth in early age (c) remains for some time away from his parents during the educational period (d) gets defect in his speech (e) gets an ugly face. 2nd House Virgo: The presence of a second house Virgo suggests that a person is very particular and exacting about his money and also his possessions. A person with a second house Virgo earns and accumulates his money by using his mind and attention in detail. Such a person never misses even the minute details when it comes to financial matters. A person with a second house Virgo appears to be very careful when it comes to financial matters. But, in reality, such a person can become somewhat penny-wise and pound-foolish. A person with a second house Virgo usually saves money. But, this is not because such a person is careful and intelligent. But, this is because a person with a second house Virgo uses this money on items of luxury later in life. Such a person also likes to spend major amounts on expensive entertainment. A person with a second house Virgo usually likes to be treated royally. Such a person likes to served and entertained in a royal fashion. A person with a second house Virgo should also take care of hi health. This is because, such a person’s health can be affected when financial affairs are not in good order. A person with a second house Virgo likes teamwork and prefers being part of a team. Such a person does not like to work

alone. A person with a second house Virgo also likes teamwork when it comes to business. Hence, such a person usually includes his friends and other trustworthy people when it comes to financial plans. A person with a second house Virgo usually makes his money through large corporations and group endeavours. The second house is actually the house value. These values may or may not be in monetary . Values can be something which are close to a person. Virgo is associated with service and hard work in a very practical nature. Many people interpret that in the presence of a second house Virgo, a person values hard work and that he will obtain what he values through hard work. This actually does not feel so good and people think this placement to be a negative sign. But, there are tons of people with a second house Virgo who are both well off and powerful. The common thing among people with a second house Virgo is that all the people amass a respectable body of work within their life span. It is sometimes even possible that a person with a second house Virgo gains wealth and success at a very early age. Another things that a second house Virgo signifies are many pieces of work which are all of different kinds. Hence, a person with a second house Virgo is usually tremendously versatile. Such a person usually produces work of tremendous craft and detail, even if the work is not particularly popular or well received at that time. Craftsmanship is the hallmark of a person with a second house Virgo. Virgo: He will have good business acumen and will earn through it. The owner of the second house is Mercury which is also the owner of the eleventh house. It therefore is representative of wealth and value. A powerful Mercury will make the native earn well from an early age, as Mercury tends to give its results early in life. Which ever house is influenced by it will prosper as Mercury represents value here. To illustrate the point: if Mercury occupies or influences the fourth house, the native will be highly and well educated; if it influences the fifth house, he will be very intelligent, and will have very good, well behaved and highly qualified children who will do well in life, etc. However the status of finances will not be stable. When Mercury is powerful, his elder brother/sister will be learned and wealthy. If Mercury is placed in the twelfth house, his younger brother/sister will earn his livelihood by writing and will be self made. Such disposition of the planet is however likely to make the native suffer from slight speech defect. His mother may gain a legacy or recover money that had long been locked up. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Gemini in the eleventh house in Chapter Five. Virgo: Wealth from State or from working as a jeweller or a car dealer. If Virgo is in the second house, the native begets wealth from the king. Morever he gets silver and gold jewels, gems and other such precious stones, elephants, horses etc. and other such properties. Virgo: Virgo on the cusp of the second house suggests that you are very particular and careful with your financial affairs. You earn money with your intelligence spend it very carefully. You become tensed when your financial condition is not in good order and this may even affect your health. Thus you should not be extravagant and should be careful while spending money on luxuries and expensive entertainment especially when your financial condition is not in good order . Kanya = Virgo = Bhava 2 - Value Budha -Mercury:Mental Tasking rules a natural house = swabhava ofShukra Budha's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of friend Budha. Social, moral, and financial values are very detailed and organized,depending of course on the natal condition of Budha. They value family life and children, but find they need to be super-organized and compartmentalized in order to accomplish their other driving value, which is success in their professional work.

For Simha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-11 Budhagenerate considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as earned income from the marketplace of goods and services. They like to talk, and are usually quite effective in their speech. If Budha is well-disposed, they are articulate people with a cheerful even adolescent style of talking. See Steve Jobs with radix Budha in Makara/6, indicating the development of values focused into corporate business. Libra in the Third House. When the sign Libra falls in the 3rd house, Venus becomes the lord of the 3rd and the 10th houses. Such a person uses his arms for the purpose of or for the benefit of the government of the day. If Saturn too is strong and is favourably situated from the 3rd house, the younger brother of the native (of course if he has one) rises to high position in life. A strong Venus for people with Leo as their ascendant is not conducive to wealth. For them it would be better, if they have a weak Venus, in order to have good finances. 3rd House Libra: The presence of a third house Libra shows that thoughts and ideas are expressed with a graceful flair. This sign, ruled by Venus, often produces artistic talent as a mode of communication. Frequently, artists and musicians grow out of this placement.

He is not accustomed to travelling with some problems. Libra: The native will have good relations with his younger brothers/ sisters. He will be interested in, and do well, in the field of fine arts, dramatics and poetry. Here Venus, the owner of the third is also

the owner of the tenth house. However, since the mooltrikona sign is placed in the third house, the third house results will predominate. Therefore the native will excel in his profession. His younger brother/sister and the children of his elder brother/sister will be good looking and polished. The native can be a radio or television artist. His father may have close with females in his profession. His mother may be sensual. This can further be analysed in the manner similar to Aries above. He will be a good public speaker. He will be fickle minded. He will keep bad company and spend heavily on his comforts. Libra: Unhappiness from children, wavering conduct and mind, not much balanced, fond of opposite sex, friends cheat him. Tula being the 3rd Bhava, will give the native despicable disposition, fondness for short stories, servants, son and money, and a friend of despicable disposition.

Good socializers who easily find a point of balance in meetings and business activities. Likes to designplans and schedules. Enjoys the flow of daily business. Favors teamwork, social event organizing, building a favorable sibling-type group of business associates who work cooperatively due to balanced mental and communicative interactions.

Mars becomes the lord of the 4th and 9th houses, when Scorpio falls in the 4th house. The fourth is an angle, while the 9th is a trine house. Hence by simultaneously owning a Kendra and a trine, Mars becomes a Raja Yoga karaka i.e. a planet of affluence and power, and in the event of being strong, by house and sign position, gives in its sub period high class results in regard to comforts wealth, honour, ruling powers, governmental favour, position, promotion etc. Such a person is very likely to gain from property. He is also happy because of the benefit that he gets from his father. If Mars is weak and afflicted, the father of the native meets his end while the native is still young, the reason being that Mars in such a case becomes the lord of two houses each of which represents longevity of father. An afflicted Mars denotes trouble in the scrotum of the native's father, for Mars becomes the lord of both the 8th sign and the 8th house, counted from the house of the father. 4th House Scorpio: A fourth house Scorpio makes a person turbulent, eventful and active. This placement produces strong feelings about the home and family life. Such a person is over emotional and feels upset in early years of his life resulting in disturbance and disharmony in the family life. The reasons for the temperament can be caused by the failed attitude of parents to nurture their children. A person with a fourth house Scorpio indicates frequent change of residence.

Conditions in bhava-4, the home and schoolroom, the parents and the vehicles, are controlled by Kuja + Ketu.

Mangala or Surya (fortunate) Whether male or female, this native takes a shamanic, psychiatric, investigator's role at home. Good for military policing in the homeland. Sagittarius in the Fifth House. If Jupiter is strong it bestows a son upon the native. If on the other hand if Jupiter is weak it denies son to the native, for the simple reason that weakness of Jupiter, means the weakness not only of the lord of the 5th house but also of the karaka of that house. A strong Jupiter gives high education and a good measure of intelligence. A weak and afflicted Jupiter spoils and married life of the elder sister to the native in as much as Jupiter becomes both the lord as well as the significator of the 7th house from the 11th, i.e., the house of the husband of the elder sister of the native. 5th House Sagittarius: A fifth house Sagittarius indicates good fortune and expansion.

He will be prosperous and comfortable. He will be cheerful and optimistic but will not be able to have romantic liaisons. The owner of the fifth house is Jupiter, which is also the owner of the eighth house. His children will be learned, will have good houses and will lead a comfortable life.

The younger brother of the mother of the native has harsh speech, for Saturn becomes the lord of the second house (Speech) from the 6th house. A strong Saturn is not conducive to wealth.

He appreciates organized and structured work environment. The native is always aware of his duties and obligations in accomplishing set goals. Such a person does well in areas that are connected with earth in some or the other way such as, real estate or land development. Capricorn: The native will have differences with his well wishers over money. He will have problems with his bones, knees, skin, gums and teeth. He will have to work hard at his job to attain success. His enemies will be men of wealth. His maternal uncle will be a prudent, hard working and thrifty man who will have an urge to do well in life. The uncle will be reserved who will give an impression that he does not care for his relatives. The owner of the sixth house is Saturn which is here also the owner of the seventh house. This will make the wife the of the native shun company and live in seclusion. Saturn is the karaka for illness. It is also the owner of the house of illness. It thus becomes a very powerful factor for causing illness. If it is badly located in the second or eighth house it is certain to cause physical troubles in its major or sub-periods. Capricorn: The influence of Capricorn on the sixth house denotes a strong sense of responsibility towards work , a capacity for rigorous hard work and a winning attitude with an eye on achievements. to you want to rise as high as you can in the field of your profession and for that you are never afraid of facing challenges and assuming responsibilities . You are as hard with your subordinates as you are with yourself. Capricorn: Enmity with friends due to money. Makara = Capricorn= Bhava 6 - Argumentation, Conflict, Loss of Agreement Shani -Saturn: Karmic Cleanup Shani's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of friend Budha. Health issues from overproduction. Tolerance for rule of law; accepts conventions of finance and business. Tends toward austere diet, with yogic practices centered around food and medicine.

General good favor from government due to the calming and regulatory effects of Shani, unless a benefic occupies bhava-6. Necessarily there is much duty and responsibility for maintaining correct practices especially in areas of medicine and finance. Periods of Shani or any graha occupying a rashi of Shani may bring karmic ability, forcing reduction of the regal instinct in order to stay on the right side of the law. Aquarius and the Seventh House. Saturn becomes the lord of the 6th and the 7th houses. Saturn is a bad planet for Leo nativities. The sub period of Saturn in the main ruling period of Venus destroys wealth as well as health, because both Saturn and Venus are enemies of the lord of the Ascendant. The wife in such cases generally belongs to a family, that is lower in status than that of the native, particularly in cases where Saturn is without the benefic influence of Jupiter Moon etc. 7th House Aquarius: A seventh house Aquarius indicates native’s drive for independence in relationships. Such a person chooses a partner who is highly individualistic and independent and just like him. He cannot compromise with his freedom ever in life, but attempts to keep a tight rein on his mate. Such a person wants to do everything according to his way and when he wants. This attitude doesn't lend itself very much to marriage unless he finds a spontaneous person who can adapt this style. Such a person seeks a partner who is independent, liberal and settled in life. A mutual understanding must be reached. The native shares a bond of friendship with his partner. The most fruitful relationships are likely to be those that remain detached and independent of each other. A seventh house Aquarius indicates a sudden and unexpected marriage. The native may have to skip the formal ceremonies of marriage and head for the nearest justice. There is a tendency of entering into a live-in relationship prior to marriage. This is one area of life where the native have little interest in conformity in following the path that society expects him to take. Unusual and eccentric attraction to someone is indicated. The native tends to strive for freedom and individuality that affects the happy union, if the spouse is too possessive.

A person with a seventh house Aquarius is likely to get divorced very soon if things don't work out. The native is intensely attracted to those who are older than him, as he sees them being the answer to his fantasies. As far as other partnerships are concerned, the native with a seventh house Aquarius tends to form a constructive and beneficial partnerships. Although they can be easily formed, the native's behaviour and immaturity can destroy them just as quickly. The native is easily influenced by others who comes into . Immaturity can lead to troubles in career life and may even harm the self esteem of the native. Aquarius: The Aquarius influence in the seventh house produces a need for a highly individualistic and independent partner. You want and insist to maintain much of your personal freedom and likely to pick a partner who is also like you. Though you insist to maintaining much of your personal freedom, but you may have a tendency to keep a tight rein on your partner. This attitude does not lend very much to marriage hence there is a need to develop matrimonial relations based on mutual understanding to get fruitful results. Aquarius: The spouse will be highly religious, forthright, attached to the native and known for her good behaviour. Also, the spouse will be handsome and involved in community or group activities. If Saturn is weak the spouse will be sickly since the owner of the sixth here is also the owner of the

seventh house and may be hospitalised for chronic ailments. The relationship with the opposite sex can also be Platonic for intellectual and companionship reasons. The spouse can be from a family lower in status than the native's and much senior to him in age. The native's maternal uncle may be rich. The native will not be successful in partnership and may fall sick or face other troubles in Aquarius: A cruel but religious natured wife, who is adamant and dominant, in business the partner tries to dominate, journeys. Kumbha = Aquarius= Bhava 7 - marriage, partnership, contracts, alliances Shani = social dignity of marriage Shani's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of friend Shukra. Duties are properly performed. But the spouse is "heartless". "If at woman's birth, the 7th bhava or the setting Navamsha be that Saturn, her husband will be an old man and a fool." ~~ BPHS Ch. 80, shloka 22-25 "If, during birth, Capricorn or Aquarius be descending or Saturn's Navamsha be descending, the woman will get an old fool for her husband." ~~ Bhrigu SutramCh. 2 4 Shloka 11 Sober Shani= L-7 = senior spouse The spousal bhava 7 is ruled by Shani and thus the mate should be either considerably older than oneself; one's senior in of cultural or professional achievement; or emotionally plain, dry and cold, or all three. the native tends to view marriage as a public dutymore than a private pleasure. The spouse of Simha should first and foremost uphold the social dignity of marriage and appear as conventional, mainstream, regular, and predictable in the lawful customs of the assembly. As Parashara states, for Simha and Karkata lagna, the reality is that marriage pleasure is dominated by a deep Saturnian sense of social duty. Personal intimacy is not destroyed, but the native will prioritize those marriage tasks which contribute to social respect and stability, while giving lesser attention to matters of personal comfort (Chandra) or creativity (Surya). Simha = self = "Heart". The Simha native radiates Courage, Valor, and leonine confidence. Kumbha = spouse, is "Heart-less". Spouses look respectable in public but the emotional vitality of marriage may be limited by a heavy workload. Spousal behavior depends as always on the condition of Shani. The spouse will generally look older and more dried-out or palecompared to the native . A famous example of the Kumbha-ruled spouse: Barbara Bush, the wife of USA Pres-41 George H. W. Bush ('Sr.'). Mrs. Bush possessed staunch dignity without much charm. By demeanor and complexion, she looked to be about 20 years older than her husband, whereas chronologically Mrs. Bush and her husband were the same age. Her public image was socially proper but she lacked tangible comion (Chandra). Her "heartless" comments during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, a tragedy which ruined thousands of lives of very poor people in Louisiana and Texas, became well-known. Mrs. Bush appeared to fulfill her duties adequately but it was obvious to the public that on a personal level, her big-picture, neutral, coldly scientific view (Kumbha) showed little heart for the people. Apparently she did not care. Even uchcha Shani in bhava-3, the best possible setup for this difficult marriage (see Bush 41) gives the spouse, and the native through auspice of the spouse's behavior, high position, ability, and dignity. There is rarely much interpersonal pleasure, except the pleasure of enjoying a solid public reputation.

Contracts, agreements, legal discussions, all types of advising are somewhat difficult and tedious unless Shani is exceptionally strong. After their typically rather long resistance to commitment followed by a later marriage, divorce is uncommon (unless Shani is damaged) because the native takes a very dry and legalistic attitude toward marriage, seeing marriage as primarily an expedient requirement of career. Despite their tolerance for meetings and party talk, these folks dislike adversarial conflict, and they will compromise in order to avoid legal disputes. They like rational conceptualization, not emotional arguments. Spouse can be made into a workhorse, piled up with duties and schedules, treated as a fixture in public life, emotionally ignored while the native attracts all the attention unto oneself. Simha lagna is sometimes a glutton for attention and applause, esp if Rahu is in lagna ( Bush 41). Intimacy problems. Does better with an older or more conservative spouse whose self-image is also invested in public role-playing. Best to have conservative values and low emotional expectationsin marriage. Good results from marriage to an older, more duty-focused and life-experienced spouse. Chandra in Kumbha may bring (slightly) more emotional juice, although as L-12 Chandra is also problematic. Surya in Kumbha is poorly disposed, leading to spousal disregard for moral principle and the native , while invested in the marriage, is socially or politically embarrassed. Behari says of L-12 in yuvati bhava = Kumbha-Chandra for the Simha lagna: "You are irrepressibly lustful. You receive money from your spouse and gain renown in distant lands. Associations and partners are social outcasts or foreigners involved in shady deals." Pisces and the Eighth House. Jupiter becomes the lord of the 5th and the 8th houses. If Jupiter is strong he gains through his sons. If it is weak and afflicted one is liable to be disgraced at the hands of one's own progeny. A strong Jupiter is conducive to longevity, while a weak one gives shoft life. A weak Jupiter and an afflicted 8th house give overseas travels. 8th House Pisces: With the presence of an eighth house Pisces, a person is usually drawn to unusual states of consciousness where the spirit is felt on occasion to leave the body and other levels of consciousness. This is hard for others who are not keyed to the realities that Pisces knows to understand or accept. A person with an eighth house Pisces has hidden talents that even he/she is not aware of, except in times of emergency when he/she is able to perform functions or rise to states of consciousness which he/she never anticipated. The native has an other-worldly attitude, which is perhaps more irregular and unusual than other Neptune positions. The power of sexuality is a potent force for the native. The nature of Pisces is comion, and in a material sense, the native is likely to be called on to meet obligations and responsibilities to satisfy his/her inner needs. The presence of an eighth house Pisces denotes a strong intuition and sometimes even psychic inclinations. There is worry and concern over t financial affairs, even when there is no real reason for such concern. Personal desires may have to be renounced. There is likely to be confusion or disappointment concerning legacies and you may be deprived of what you assumed was to be yours.

sexual feelings. Even though you know that death ultimately comes to all people, you don’t dwell on the idea of dying. Conversely, you do everything possible to postpone the final day. Males especially, with this cusp overlay, are frequent pill poppers, even if the pills are vitamins and minerals. Generally there are strange conditions concerning inheritances. For many with this placement of an eighth house Pisces overlays that their inheritances are dissipated even before they receive them. Since Pisces is mutable water, you need to allow your intuition to guide you, for you will feel as if you are acting blindly in the house with an eighth house Pisces. No one can give you proof for the affairs of this house, so allow yourself to be guided by your intuition. In your personal birth chart, the house with Pisces on the cusp is ruled by the planet Neptune. So look to the position and sign of Neptune (and Jupiter) for more clues regarding the sphere of life with an eighth house Pisces. Pisces: The Pisces influence on the eighth house denotes a strong intuition and sometimes even psychic inclinations. There is worry and concern over t financial affairs, even when there is no real reason for such concern. Personal desires may have to be renounced. There is likely to be confusion or disappointment concerning legacies and you may be deprived of what you assumed was to be yours. The nature of Pisces is comion, and in a material sense, you are likely to be called on to meet obligations and responsibilities to satisfy your inner needs. Pisces: The owner of the eighth house here is also the owner of the fifth house. This owner is Jupiter. It is also the significator for children. If Jupiter is weak and afflicted, the native is likely to lose some of his children during the major or sub-periods of Jupiter or be dishonoured by them. A powerful Jupiter will make the wife of the native wealthy. The native will be wounded by weapon and die of it or succumb to fever or he may drown. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Sagittarius in the fifth house. Pisces: Diabetic or rheumatic complaints, bad for inheritance, religious, prosperity through friends. Meena = Pisces= Bhava 8 secrets, hidden assets, confidential information, sudden and catastrophic change Guru- Jupiter:Wisdom Expansion Guru's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of friend Mangala Guru's abundance provides an opening into the deep mysteries of life. If auspicious graha own or occupy bhava-8, the native may be profoundly involved in tantrik pursuits. Sees one's own destiny in cosmic , and accepts entitlement to "make magic" in the world. Also entitled to maintain intimate connections outside of marriage - not necessarily sexual, but therapeutic. Capacity to know and share secret knowledge through a network of retreat centers and mystical teachers. Inauspicious graha controlling bhava-8 can give manipulative selfishness and misuse of confidential information for destructive purposes. the native 's level of ethical development will be indicated by Surya and Guru. If Surya/Guru are favorable, one can use this entitlement to tremendous material and psychic resources as a tool for creating extraordinarily positive change in the world. If Surya/Guru are not helpful, the native may degenerate into unfocused childlike 'play' with his resources, wasting the kingly opportunity of a blessed life. Aries in the Ninth House. Mars becomes the lord of the 9th and the 4th houses i.e. it becomes simultaneously the lord of a trine and a angle. With stronger Mars, the wealthier, honoured and powerful, the native will become. This is a yoga that may be interpreted as conducive to property

acquired luckily. The mother of the native will be long lived. He will raise high in life. He will also earn the good will of the govt. of the day. If in the horoscope any planet is extremely weak then the father of the native will have trouble in the limb denoted by the house, over which that planet has lordship, particularly when the house concerned is also weak. 9th House Aries: A ninth house Aries makes the native optimistic and forward looking in nature. Such a person possesses his own fundamental beliefs and an overall philosophical attitude towards life, which enables him to define his goals accordingly. He is a positive thinker and has no problem in visualizing his dreams. No matter how bad the circumstances become, the positivity remains constant. The native is fond of travelling provided it is a well planned trip. He seeks a relevant reason behind every travel. A ninth house Aries indicates much foreign travel and adventurous trips, which would encourage the native to bring out the best in him. A ninth house Aries also suggests that the native may be of a rebellious nature. Such a person does not agree to other’s opinions easily and prefers to formulate his own. He is political-minded which is closely related to his philosophical approaches. The native with this placement likes adventurous activities. Hence, long distance travel appeals his a lot. The native’s financial conditions will also be in his favour as far as travel is concerned. Such a person usually prefers to travel to far away places to find his identity in the initial phase of life. The native would be naturally drawn to violent movements or strongly controversial positions. Considering this attitude, there is a tendency to devote oneself to causes and principles and at the same time lend himself to violence and revolt. A person with a ninth house Aries enjoys exploring exotic and strange things. He is often inclined towards the culture and traditions of different countries. The native will not be much inclined towards higher studies. His philosophies and wisdom gives him the required satisfaction that he attains from his parents and surroundings. Such a person is not much open to other’s views and perceptions towards life. He sometimes seeks to force his thoughts onto others with a view of general development. But, because of this habit the native is not able to make much good friends. The native’s mind is spiritually and religiously well developed. But, he does not believe in following a particular religion blindly. Such a person is good at taking initiatives to form plans.Everything that he does has a preformed executable plan. Aries: The influence of Aries on the cusp of the ninth house produces a positive and optimistic approach. You visualize your goals, make a very good plan to realize those goals with a positive thinking that you will surely achieve your goals. The things may be bad today but you know it very well how to make them better tomorrow. You love traveling. Aries: Fortunate, virtuous, religious, free from enemies. Aries: The native holds that his views are always correct and this may lead to arguments with others. The native may rear animals. He will be generous. The number of houses counted from the ninth house and the number of sign in that house will be the same. This can be analysed with regard to disease and disability in a part of the body of the father of the native in the manner similar to Aries in the First House in Chapter Four. The father will be of quick temper and restless. He will be impetuous and will be of athletic build. The owner of the ninth house here is Mars which is also the owner of the fourth house. If Mars is powerful it will, in its major or sub-periods give the native property, vehicle and comforts without much effort. The native shall be learned in engineering or warfare. His parents will be happy with each other. Such a Mars will be helpful to the native in excelling in the field of law, logic or research. If it is weak and afflicted, it is not only dangerous to the longevity of younger brothers and sisters but will make the father short lived. There is a chance that

the native's wife either takes on a white collar job or her younger sister/brother attains a high position in life. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Scorpio in the fourth house. Mesha = Aries = Bhava 9 - temples of wisdom, priests and professors, father and moral teachers, children and grandchildren Kuja -Mars: Kinetic Energy Kuja's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of friend Guru. Should Kuja be strong, the interest in religion is lifelong and ionate. Yet according to the overall theme of Simha lagna, religious fellowship and priestly practices must serve the native 's individual Soul interests. Highly independent and athletic approach to philosophy and higher knowledge. Depending as always on the disposition of Kuja, relationship with Father and Guru is strained by the warrior nature of this Simha child. If Kuja is super-strong, the father's ego may be too volatile to sustain his parenting role. The spiritual guru too must accommodate the powerful individuality of this native. Surya, Guru, and Kuja control the fortune houses 1-5-9. These hot, energized, forward-moving graha when well coordinated can bring great fortune into the Simha lagna birth. Taurus in the Tenth House. Venus as the lord of an angle, ceases to remain a benefic planet, and becomes a malefic planet by virtue of the fact of the ownership of the 3rd house. The Dasa and bhukti of Venus is not conducive to wealth unless Venus is extremely weak. The bhukti i.e. the sub period of Venus in the main period of Saturn is particularly bad for the native as both Venus and Saturn would be enemies to Sun the lord of the Ascendant, If Venus is strong the native has s with the VIPs and is active in obtaining the approbation of people very high in position. 10th House Taurus: A person with a tenth house Taurus is inclined towards his artistic abilities.

The native's job can be related to writing, publishing, publicity, or journalism related to entertainment, music, cinema, theatre etc. The native may also be holding a job which will be related to stock market or banking. If Venus is also related to the ninth house, the native will visit developed countries in connection with his job. If the planet has connection with the twelfth house the native will live away from his birth place in a region, which will be a more advanced area than his native place, in connection with his job. A weak and afflicted Venus will be detrimental to the career prospects of the native and will reduce the longevity of the younger brothers and sisters. It will be a powerful significator of death for the father. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Aries in the third house. Vrishabha = Taurus = Bhava 10 - respect and responsibility, career and profession, public reputation Shukra -Venus: How We Love Shukra's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Shani.

He gains through rent, interest etc. If Mercury is weak and afflicted the native suffers financially through his elder brother or the elder sister. If Rahu or Ketu is situated in the 11th or the 2nd house and Mercury is located in the 5th or the 9th house in association with or under the aspect of benefic planets, the sub period of Mercury becomes instrumental in bringing a wind fall to the native in the shape of a lottery or a prize.

house and Mercury are under the aspect of Mars there is likelihood of the life of the mother of the native being cut short. 11th House Gemini: A person with an eleventh house Gemini has a lot of personal connections in the society.

Mithuna = Gemini = Bhava 11 Budha rules a natural house = swabhava ofneutral Shani Associations of voluntary friendship, elder sibling, gains and achievements, marketplace networks Budha's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Shani. However, Budha is so easily influenced that Simha lagna's gainfulness cannot be predicted without understanding Budha's role in the nativity. However, in general, good business acumen and accurate calculations unless Budha is impacted. Domain of Budha will show the source of gainfulness . Seeks the company (11) of conversationalists and literati (Mithuna) writers, story-tellers, the multilingual and multi-cultural, media people, advertising and public relations experts, those who can spin a tale For Simha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-11 Budha can generate material income via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as earned gains from the marketplace of goods, ideas, and services.

Steve Jobs Budha-6/Makara income through complexly structured high finance (investor loans) Cancer in the Twelfth House. The lordship of Moon over the 12th house indicates that the subject is given to luxury and enjoyment, more particularly if Moon is linked by association etc. with the 1st and the 4th houses and their lords. If Moon is away from the Sun and is not weak by affliction it is treated as a benefic planet and increases the prospects of the house in which it is located. Moon does not suffer even as a result of her lordship of the 8th house, the worst house in the horoscope, and as such there is no likelihood of her suffering as a result of being the lord of the 12th house, which is after all not as bad as the 8th house. Besides Moon is like the Ascendant and as such if strong is a great boon. Cancer - This is a mixed signature.

Once when you are hurt it is very difficult to approach you and to know what is bothering you. Cancer: Possesses good animals, powerful persons become enemies but he subdues them. Cancer: Water sports will be the favourite past time for the native. He will spend money on tanks, wells and waterbodies. He will like to remain secluded for long periods of time when he would like to reflect. He will be extravagant from time to time. The Moon represents the left eye. Since the twelfth house also stands for the left eye, if the Moon is weak and afflicted, the native is bound to lose his left eye or have defective sight. His elder brother/sister will have fluctuating wealth. If the Moon is under bad influence and weak, the native may not be rich. His younger sister/brother will be connected with the government and if the Moon is powerful, he may occupy a high position. His mother is likely to travel abroad. His children may suffer from imbalance of watery element in the body, or if the Moon is adverse, may die by drowning. Karka = Cancer = Bhava 12 Chandra rules a natural house = swabhava ofGuru. Chandra's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Guru. dreams and psychic perception, long-term foreign travel, private imagination, meditation and prayer residence in foreign lands (not travel, but long residence) Imagination, Clairsentience, Meditation and Prayer will inevitably fluctuate. Naturally, whichever bhava is ruled by Chandra, the Lord of tides and flows, will fluctuate. the native will experience tidal ebb and flow of psychic capability, effectiveness of prayer, access to guidance from dreams and voice of ancestors, and general benefit of imagination, throughout life. Bedroom pleasures also fluctuate. Meditation practice gives best results in periods of Chandra. Emotional need for privacy. Emotionally imaginative in one's own sanctuary space, while the emotional life plays a minimal role in the public personality (exception: parivartamsha of Surya-Chandra - e.g., Madonna).

Psycho-emotional need for and appreciation of spiritual sanctuary and religious retreat. Intuitive capability for in occult practices related to family roots (Chandra) such as communication with ancestor spirits. Core emotional life is effectively curtained off and kept away from prying eyes of others, even including the spouse. Emotional need to develop the house-12 of "enemies of marriage", e.g. relationship with the ishta-devata (an imaginary intimacy, but a potent one); private bedroom relationships, Or relationships based in foreign lands, Matters of relationships and behaviors which are inherently inimical to the marriage contract will fluctuate considerably, and the level of their materialization must be determined by the character of Chandra. A good deal of the emotional activity is conducted in the imagination whether there is material manifestation or not. Emotional allegiance to relationships outside of marriage tends to waver. the native may be introduced to meditative practices early in life, which allow control of the emotions so that Surya's domineering rationality can proceed unimpeded by the fluctuations of emotional life, especially anxiety and self-doubt. Others may notice the Simha natives emotional vulnerability but the native oneself suffers very little self-doubt. Enemies of the marriage, always indicated by the L-12 and graha within vyaya bhava, tend to be females with maternal or nurturing powers. They have large breasts, along with a soft and loving embrace. the native promotes a fixed, controlled, intelligent and socially positive package of public attributes which however represent only one's rational side. The intuition may be extremely strong if Chandra is auspicious; yet the native will not normally be aware of Chandra's influence and certainly will not share much of their emotional perception with others. The influence of the Mother is "lost" buried deep in the subconscious while the influence of the Father's intelligence predominatesunless Surya is damaged. There are numerous exceptions to this overall truth but generally the mother's influence expresses through dreams and the imagination while the father's influence is much more in the body and social personality. One's public personality expressed dominantly through the physical body appearance; for Simha lagna it, should be lean and darkly golden with very little influence from the soft, plumping, waterylight Moon unless Chandra is yuti Surya or some other parivartamsha effect. See Madonna for the above parivartamsha yoga which brings a lighter than typical for Simha body complexion. Lagnesha Surya/ Karka/ bhava-12, for public expressionof private imagination, e.g., foreign ideas, and bedroom life. Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) Characteristic tendencies: Like the Aries type, Leo has a fiery disposition which creates courage and a strong sense of purpose, but which also increases anger and gives rise to a hot temper. Leo rising people are often ambitious as well, but may have to struggle to realize their objectives. They are typically cheerful, warm-hearted, sincere, and somewhat conservative. They often have a ion for

the acquisition of knowledge. Happy married life is typically delayed, or the partner is somewhat distant – in age, culture, or physically.

Functional Benefic Planets Leo: The Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Simha (Leo) — B.V.Raman - How to Judge a Horoscope Vol 1 Mars and the Sun are benefics, the former being the most auspicious. Mercury and Venus are malefics. Jupiter, the Moon and Saturn are neutrals. Simha lagna - Learn Astrology the Easy Way by G S Kapoor Kuja is the most auspicious planet. The combination of Shukra and Guru does not cause rajayoga, but the conjunction of Guru and Kuja in favourable houses produces rajayoga. Shani, though lord of 7th, does not kill, but Budha (lord of 2nd) and other evil planets inflict death when they get maraka powers. Leo - Predictive Astrology by M N Kedar Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are auspicious planets. Saturn and the Moon are Killers (they give good or

bad results according to their associat ion). Saturn is bad, because lord of the 6th and 7th and is enemy of Lagna lord. Mercury the lord of 2nd (Mool trikona sign) and 11th and Venus being enemy of lagna lord, lord of 3rd(mooltrikona sign) and 10th (Kendradhipatya dasha) become inauspicious. Leo Lagna: Mars , Jupiter and Sun are benefic for this lagna. Saturn and Moon are malefic in this ascendant. Saturn is Shashtesha and enemy of Lagnesha Sun. Due to this, they are malefic. The Mooltrikon sign of mercury is in second house, and the second house is a Maraka House. The second sign of Mercury , Gemini lies in eleventh house. This bhava is also not among beneficial bhava’s. Mercury has the ownership of both malefic houses. The Mooltrikon sign of Venus also goes in third house and Taurus in tenth house. Due to which Venus gets Kendradhipati Dosha, and is not able to give good results. Leo: Inauspicious planets are Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are benefics. Jupiter with Venus cannot give fully benefic results. Saturn is Maraka and the Moon’s effects depend on her association. Grahas/planets and Simha (Leo) Lagna. Budh, Sukra and Sani are malefics. Auspicious effects will be given by Mangal, Guru and Surya. Guru’s Yuti with Sukra (though, respectively, Kon and Kendra Lords) will not produce auspicious results. Śani and Chandra are killers, who will give effects, according to their associations. Leo (Simha): Lord of ascendant Sun, lords of 5th and 9th houses, Jupiter and Mars respectively give good results to Leo. Mercury as a lord of 2nd and 11th houses, give moderate results. However, when Mercury is in conjunction either in the ascendant, or in Aeries (9th house) or Virgo (2nd house) or in Gemini (11th house) it forms Budhaditya yoga and gives good to best results. On some occasions, Mercury may however take the responsibility of killing planet as a lord of 2nd house, when afflicted by malefics. Venus as a lord of 3rd and 10th houses, cannot give good results. Mars as a lord of 4th house give good results. As a lord of 6th and 7th houses, Saturn give only moderate to bad results. Very rarely, when positioned in Aquarius (moolatrikona), he may give good results for some time. As a lord of 8th house, Jupiter transfers his bad results to some other planets according to the principles discussed above. LEO Sun: The Sun, as ruler of house 1, shows the character, will, ego and soul of Leo types. Leos possess a strong ion for life and self-expression, a good creative intelligence, as well as a certain aristocracy of the spirit that may degenerate into vanity or ostentatiousness. They can develop charisma but may be self-dramatic or self-centered. The Sun is doubly a self-indicator as both lord and indicator of the first house and so aspects on it will be doubly strong for character issues. It is auspicious as the lord of the ascendant. With the Sun as the ruler of the Ascendant, Leos feel a sense of their ego, self-identity and importance. Sun: Being a Lagnesh, it is highly benefic, if strong then in its MD & AD it bestows immense wealth, fovour from Govt., good health & respect, have ruling power, strong heart, bones and brave. However, if it is weak then reverse results will be felt by the person. Like will have little wealth, will have trouble in the eyes, heart, belly and opposed to the Govt. of the day.

Leo born people with weak and/or afflicted Sun in the chart face weak health, weak digestion, malfunctioning of heart, disease of spine and blood, lack of stamina and strong will power and weak eyesight. Sun- Sun the chief among planets when lord of Ascendant is Yoga Karaka and gives very nice results if strong, in regard to health, wealth, fame and ruling powers. A weak Sun will give very little of wealth and may give bad name etc. The Sun- Sun the lord of 1st house (quadrant and trine) is a very auspicious planet. A strong Sun showers on the native governmental position, wealth, health, fane etc in his dasa and bhukti. A weak Sun gives little money and defamation if badly afflicted. The lord of the Lagan becomes the Sun. such persons develop the traits and the qualities of Sun. if the Sun is strong in the horoscope, such people become brave, influential, endowed with ruling powers, strong of heart and strong of bones. On the other hand, if their Sun is weak and afflicted by malefic influence, then the persons are put to much dishonor in life, have trouble in their eyes, are likely to suffer from heart trouble and troubles of the belly and are always opposed to the goverenenment of the day. Sun being lord of the ascendant, ruby is a ‘must' for such natives. They should always wear a ruby, more so when the Sun is not well placed, weak or in any way afflicted in the chart. Ruby may protect them from ill health and enemies, give vitality to the body, long life, success in istrative and other posts. It will also enhance the spiritual power of the native. A benefic Sun in this chart will enhance a person's power and position for career or give a high position got their father. The mooltrikona sign for the Sun is Leo, the first house. A strong Sun will give the individual great vitality and inspiration and will create a strong magnetic personality. The individual's health will be good without blood pressure or heart problems. A weak Sun would create potential health problems and difficulties in achieving status and this would bring about emotional suffering, problems with blood pressure, heart, eyesight and digestion. Problems with father or status of the father are very probable. Exalted Sun in Leo nativities indicates highly placed father and success in a political career. Weak and afflicted Sun: loss of vitality, heart problem, loss of status. Surya L-1 Great pride in one's physical appearance and the products of one's unique social personality. Surya = karaka for brilliance, genius, creativity, success in performance arts, the rational soul, and awareness awareness of the presence of the Divine in every moment of life. For the Simha lagna native, Surya is an enormously positive graha with the potential to bring great power and fame in politics and theatre. Strong Ravi for Politics: Napoleon Bonaparte = Simha/1; Richard Nixon = Dhanusha/5; G. H.W. Bush 41 = Vrishabha/10; JFK, Jr. had he lived= Vrischika/4; Strong for literary and dramatic arts, theatre: Dale Earnhardt= Mesha/9; Madonna Simha/1(via parivartamsha); Paramahamsa Yogananda= Dhanusha/5 Presuming that Surya is well-disposed, Surya periods bring praise for the physical appearance and recognition of the social identity (fame). Career Because Suryais a karaka for career and public recognition, and Ravi = L-1 for Simha lagna, the Simha native is somewhat disposed toward to accept public roles and professional leadership responsibilities in connection with fleshly body vitality and appearance (1) and iconic or symbolic representations (1).

Example career environments include all types of radiant embodiment: being the "face" of a product e.g. fashion model, being the symbol of a political movement or idea, being a godlike emperor, being a figure of charismatic authority. The personal identity-appearance embodies the product. as Empire - Napoleon Bonaparte Corruption-Free India -India-PM 1984-89 Rajiv Gandhi NASCAR - Dale Earnhardt SRF - Paramahamsa Yogananda Apple Computer - Steve Jobs Calvin Klein skin-tight jeans - Brooke Shields Hawk plutocracy = Calvin Coolidge, Richard Nixon, Richard "Dick" Cheney, George H. W. Bush - 41 modern sexual license - Madonna Kennedy legacy - JFK, Jr Career for Simha lagna tends toward spectacular rise and fall . (If the Simha native lives long enough - which is unusual - there may be several cycles of rise and fall Richard Nixon, Steve Jobs When the product, idea, or social movement which the Simha native represents is highly popular, the native is nearly worshipped as a god. The Simha politician who starts high office on a "landslide" election win may end one's term of office only a few years later, as an object of public contempt. Calvin Coolidge, Richard Nixon, Rajiv Gandhi, George H. W. Bush-41 When the product, idea, or social movement which the Simha native represents falls severely out of public favor, the iconic Haryakshamay experience a punishing backlash . Napoleon Bonaparte, Richard Nixon, India-PM 1984-89 Rajiv Gandhi Remedial Ratna for Surya - Manika (pure Ruby) for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 88: "For the Leo (Simha) Ascendant Sun is lord of the Ascendant. Ruby is, therefore, a 'must' for natives of this Ascendant. They should always wear a Ruby, more so when the Sun is not well placed, weak or in any way afflicted in the chart. Ruby will protect them from health and enemies, give vitality to the body, long life, success in istrative and other posts. It will also enhance the spiritual powerof the native ." Moon: The Moon, as ruler of house 12, is a planet of spirituality, as well as of emotional giving and sympathy. Leos tend to have an underdeveloped social sensitivity, as they have an overdeveloped self-sense, but once they have identified with someone or something, they are capable of great selfsurrender. On the negative side, this can lead to loss, separation or sorrow. On the positive side, it can give detachment and the capacity for contemplation. It is neutral as the lord of the twelfth and can give bad results if poorly aspected or associated. The Moon as the ruler of the twelfth house can give an emotional side that needs solitude and quiet time to rejuvenate. Moon: Being 12th lord if well placed, well aspected, strong in Pakash-bala & not combust then it is benefic & give good health, wealth & respect. If weak then ill health, defective eyes sight, blood & dispute.

A king needs help of all specialists and cannot afford to be ease loving. As such, the Moon, the planet representing ease is the functional malefic for Leo born people. Exalted Moon situated away from the mid point of the tenth house indicates a significant role played by overseas in one's professional career. Moon- A Moon more than 72 degrees away from Sun and well aspected gives very good results in regard to finance. If weak and afflicted Moon may give much trouble in eyes and bring about dearth of money etc. The Moon- The Moon is the 12th lord and gives results according to her strength, position and associations. A weak Moon gives troubles through defects in eyes, expenses, defame, poverty etc. Moon is the lord of the 12th house. Therefore, the native of this ascendant should avoid wearing a pearl. The pearl may, however, be worn in the major period of Moon if the Moon is in the 12th in his own sign. The mooltrikona sign for the Moon is Cancer which is placed in the twelfth house, the house of losses and expenses. The Moon is a functional malefic for Leo ascendant so the well-placed Moon will bring about less emotional loss, separation and attachment for Leo. The weak and afflicted Moon will cause emotional losses such as marital loss, or loss of mother, either physical or emotional, and loss of mental stability. Unfortunately for the Leo ascendant, one cannot boost the Moon with astral remedies that Leo natives suffer on of the Moon being malefic. By boosting the malefic Moon with a pearl or a moonstone, the person would be enhancing the malefic significations such as worries and greater mental instability. The Leo ascendant often has hidden insecurity. As it is the Moon who acts as the functional malefic planet owning the twelfth house, it can be seen why the emotions of Leo are often like a whirlwind. The functional malefic Moon is changing houses and signs every two and a half days transiting over the natal planets at least ten days out of the month. This is why Leo's require attention, not only to boost their egos and mollify their pride, but also to protect their insecurity. Leo people generally have short-lived problems, as it is only the Moon who afflicts this chart and it is never in one sign long enough to cause any long term problems. Leo's only have Rahu and Ketu to cause long-term difficulties. The Moon lord of 12th makes them ease loving as it happens to be a functional malefic, however, if the Moon is powerful it will add to their natural attribute of being fast in action and assimilating diversified activities and face problems boldly. Exalted Moon situated away from the mid point of the tenth house indicates significant role played by overseas in one's professional career. Weak and afflicted Moon: Middle life span, troubled marital life. Chandra L-12 Chandra = the human being's deepest need for unconditional love of the mother and foundational protection from one's sheltering, nurturing schoolteachers and parents. In adults, Chandra shows the homemaking and parenting style as well as the emotional security that one feels within the shelter of one's core relationships. If Chandra is well, the native has well-being. If Chandra is disadvantaged, the native will need to compensate and cope in order to gain the essential levels of security and protection needed in this lifetime. L-12 Chandra for the Simha lagna = emotional need for residence in distant lands, to live near the sea-coast of distant shores, to seek sheltered happiness on foreign beaches and on long ocean-going journeys. Distant Lands

Distant shores can be within one's port homeland. In large countries there may be thousands of miles and a dozen regional languages between sea-coasts. Although authentically foreign lands are emotionally satisfying for L-12 Chandra, indeed the "distance" proof =cultural and geographical, not the legal borders. The deepest emotional connections occur in the geography of the private bedroom; in the worlds of fantasy, meditation, or prayer; in distant lands; esp on beaches and sea-shores and sheltered homes near the ocean coastline. often happiest when living with foreign relatives, perhaps a branch of one's family who are settled in a land or region distant from the place of one's birth The downside for marriage may be that if emotional needs are not met in Simha's naturally problematic marriage (problematic due to Shani = lord of 7) or via satisfaction of parenting, then Chandra's need for nurturing may drive the native to create other bedroom associations. Simha typically seeks an elder spouse or one senior in business rank and one profitably connected in the marketplace. The Simha spouse is often absent while engaged in marketplace regulated behavior Simha ironically seeking to make a home (Chandra) in distant lands (12) then seeks local emotional connections. The highly fluctuating and impressionable Chandra controls the bhava of spiritual guidance, prayer, imagination, and dissolution of the social personality. The remedial Jyotisha pearl is not recommended for Simha natives unless perhaps the native desires long sojourn in a foreign land, a deeper meditation practice, or more intimate communion with the spirits in preference to the vitality of connection with human beings. Chandra-ratna may stimulate loss of personality-identity by weakening attachments to the flesh body and its social attributes. Behari says of L-12 in yuvati bhava = Kumbha-Chandra for the Simha lagna: "You are irrepressibly lustful. You receive money from your spouse and gain renown in distant lands. Associations and partners are social outcasts or foreigners involved in shady deals." Remedial Ratna for Chandra - Moti (pure natural Pearl) for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 93 "For the Leo (Simha) Ascendant Moon is the lord of the 12th house. Therefore, the natives of this Ascendant should avoid wearing a Pearl. The Pearl may, however, be worn in the major period of Moon, [only] if Moon is in the 12th in his own sign." Mars: Mars, as ruler of houses 4 and 9, indicates their strong spirit, energy and zeal, through which they can accomplish much in life. Leo types can express the higher qualities of Mars and can develop much perception and insight, through which they can discover an effective mode of action. This can, however, render them overly critical. It is very auspicious giving Raja Yoga. Mars is lord of 4th and 9th house. A Yogkarka planet but not for Maraka. In own dasa and bhukti if strong gives immense wealth, respect, high position, comforts and all good things. But if aspected by malefics, reverse results. Mars is the Yoga Karaka as the ruler of the fourth (Kendra) and ninth (Tricona) houses. Mars here represents both the father and mother. They will seek out higher learning (Ninth House), achieving degrees (fourth house).

Mars: Being 4th & 9th lord will be Rajyoga Planet & highly benefic & gives wealth, respect, high position, comforts and all good things in life, if strong. If weak then reverse the results and weak Rajyoga. Yogakaraka Mars represents the executive power of the king as the mooltrikona sign of Mars fails in the ninth house ruling father and fortune. Mars- Being Yoga Karaka Mars if strong gives affluence, power, property and good luck. If weak these things are there in much less quantity. Mars- Mars is lord of 4th (quadrant) and 9th (trine) a Rajayoga karaka alone and bestows on the native wealth, prestige, position, happiness etc, almost all the comforts in its dasa, bhukti: Even a weak Mars can give all these, but not in plenty. Mars being lord of the 4th quadrant and 9th house- a trine is very favorable and auspicious planet (yoga Karaka) and wearing of Red Coral will be followed by the same beneficial result. The native will acquire, lands and property, will have good fortune, will become virtuous and longevity of father is also improves. If the Mars is posited in his own sign in the 4th or 9th the beneficial results will become more pronounced. Mars is a natural malefic but for Leo Lagna, he being the 9th lord (a Trikona) is auspicious and Yoga producing vide Sloka 6. Mars also owns the 4th (a Kendra) house. Therefore he leaves his maleficence and becomes neutral. But having already acquired auspiciousness as 9th lord, he predominantly is a Yogakaraka As with the Cancer ascendant, we have the planet Mars as a Yogakaraka planet for Leo as Mars rules the fourth and the ninth house, a kendra house and a trine house. Aries is the mooltrikona sign for Mars and is placed in the ninth house. A benefic Mars will give the individual good fortune and education and success for the father. A weak and afflicted Mars will bring obstructions to the father and difficulties in prosperity and fortune. Impatience and lack of courage could lead to emotional difficulties as well. Mars owning the 9th (ruling father and luck) and 4th (moolatrikona) is yogakaraka, endowing the native with the powers of a king. Exalted Mars with the of other strong planets gives an affluent father engaged in the professions ruled by Mars. Weak and afflicted Mars: Troubles to father and chequered fortune. Kuja L-4+ L-9 Vital, fortunate, and competitive Kuja = L-4+L-9 Yogakaraka for Simha lagna. Kuja periods bring high educational accomplishment. Kuja-ratna mungais effective. Because Mesha = Mangala's moolatrikona rashi = identical to Simha's dharmasthana, Angarika = usually religiously minded, although in a predictably orthodox fashion which is more oriented to vital and direct-action (Mangala) expressions of public piety and less to the quiet, invisible realm of private prayer. Special capability for fire-worship and ancient rituals of the agnihoma. May produce a warrior-priest, such as a military chaplain. For the Simha lagna with Kumbha Chandra ( Dale Earnhardt) Shukra and Mangala create a special pair which controls 3-4 and 9-10. When both Shukra and Mangala are strong, the native is much empowered according to their location. Mangala = Yogakaraka L-4+L-9 from Simha lagna + L-3+L-10 from Chandra

Shukra = Yogakaraka L-4+L-9 from Chandra + L-3+L-10 from Simha lagna badhaka -sthana L-9 Kuja = the lord for Simha lagna. (Badhakaor"harming"houses = the 9th from a fixed lagna, 7th from a changeable lagna, and 11th from a cardinal lagna.) Kuja periods may bring some competitive struggles with professors, religious teachers, and father-figures.bhava-9 from Simha lagna = Mesha = the primary "Badhaka" or harm-causing domain. Fixed lagna typically has some trouble from the father, guru, professor, religious or moral teacher, temple, religious teachings etc. If Shani occupies Mesha, one may face considerable trouble when dealing with the father. Periods of Mangalamay bring forward an agent in the figure of a father, father-role, guru, priest, professor, or some abstract personage known through wisdom-teachings, who (often inadvertently) causes harm to the native via domineering or intimidating behavior, intolerance for alternative viewpoints, and a regal sense of personal entitlement. This badhaka agent must be handled with comion, in the knowledge that this harm-causing agent is merely a projection of one's own unrealized conflict with religious teachings, higher philosophies, priestly orders, and with self-proclaimed teachers of truth. Difficult graha in occupation of dharma bhava or Mangala drishti upon bhava-9 may exacerbate the badhaka agency. Remedial Ratna for Kuja: munga for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 96 "For the Leo Ascendant ... Mars being lord of the 4th quadrant and 9th house and a trine is very favourable and auspicious planet (yoga karaka) and wearing of Red Coral will be followed by the same beneficial results as in the case of Cancer Ascendant. Apart from these results, the native will acquire, lands and property, will have good fortune, will become virtuous and longevity of his fatherwill be improved. If the Mars is posited in his own sign in the 4th or 9th the beneficial results will become more pronounced. Wearing of a Ruby and the gem stone of the lord of this Ascendant -- along with Red Coral -- will accelerate the beneficial results." Mercury: Mercury, as ruler of houses 2 and 11, shows their capacity for great material and work gains, high income, with Mercury a double significator of wealth. Leos can usually do well in the business world, as they know how to project themselves, but they can also talk too much about themselves. It is generally inauspicious for the other domains of life. Mercury is the ruler of the Dhana houses (wealth producing) two and eleven. Leo's have a great aptitude for money- making ideas. Mercury as the ruler of the second house gives a high degree of intelligence, and makes for a fast talker. Mercury: Lord of 2nd and 11th houses if strong then gives wealth, health etc. However, if it is weak then person will have separation from family, broken education, loss of elder sister of the person and loss to mother’s elder sister if any. As the weakness prone planet, Mercury, rules their second house ruling kingdom, their status is mostly short lived and they are always on the move to solve the problems one after the other. They are receptive to the ideas of others but provide leadership as per their own conviction. They are anxious to oblige others by favors so that they are recognized by others as royal. They intend to punish the guilty and rarely apologize, those who do not surrender completely.

The Leo born people are most alert and very fast in assimilating diversified activities and problems. Mercury, the planet of analytical faculties, rules the second house representing concentration. Mercury- As lord of 2nd and 11th house it may badly effect health, but a strong Mercury is not bad for gains. If Mercury is weak it leads to loss of wealth, education and speech and may involve the elder sister of mother in trouble. Mercury- Mercury is the lord of 2nd and11th houses. As lord of 2nd it acts according to its other sign house ie 11th house. Mercury is bad for health; a strong one is good for income. Weak Mercury causes loss of wealth, opposition with family ; education is incomplete, adverse to mother's elder sister etc, the inauspicious results. Mercury is the lord of the 2nd house of wealth and 11th house of gains and fulfillment of ambitions. If the native wears emerald in the major period of Mercury and his sub-periods, he will get harmony in his family, substantial financial gains, name and fame. Mercury is positively inauspicious due to ownership of the 11thhouse, aTrishadaya house. Mercury also owns the 2nd house a Maraka house. Therefore Mercury is evil endowed with Maraka characteristics. As 2nd house lord Mercury gives results according to the 6th Sloka i.e., Mercury is functional as the 11th house lord. Therefore Mercury will be productive of inauspicious results. Although Mercury is frequently weak in many charts, a well-placed Mercury for the Leo ascendant will create a harmonious family life and ensure status and prosperity, as Mercury is ruler of the second house where its mooltrikona sign of Virgo is. A benefic Mercury can bring about the stability that Leo's require and will promote the individual's reputation. If Mercury is weak and afflicted, then married life will be marred and there could be loss of reputation and wealth with much nervous tension. For Leo natives, Mercury is generally a 2nd and 11th house happens to own weak houses. Mercury the planet of analytic faculty also represent concentration and need be strong for better and expressive personality, or otherwise, their status will be short lived. Exalted Mercury indicates leadership or chief position in a Govt. Dept. Exalted Mercury with a strong and well placed Sun blesses the native with top level public/political office. Weak and afflicted Mercury: loss of status, trouble to spouse and loss of reputation and accumulated wealth. Budha L-2+ L-11 For the Simha native, the internal and external narrative of Budha-talk is all about Budha wants to talk-about, instruct, explain, classify, discriminate, analyze, articulate, and announce re: matters of bhava-2 and bhava-11: Banks and Collections (2): hoards of value, accumulation, acquisition, storage, history, memory, money, collections of value, records, libraries, archives; values, opinions, historical knowledge, beauty, face, mouth, teeth, voice, food, language, speech and song Gains and Goals (11): material income, profit, marketplace associations, networks, financial systems, economies, regulated social progress movements, acquaintances, connections, community, large assemblies, opportunity, goals, objectives, achievement There are four main wealth houses: 2 = banked savings; 5 = gambling or speculative wins; 9 = assets acquired through faith; and 11 = earned income. Conversational and sexual Budha becomes a highly auspicious L-2 / L-11 wealth graha for Simha lagna. The sources of the wealth may be found in the bhava and rashi of Budha.

Paramahamsa Yogananda's material wealth arose primarily from sales of his extraordinary books = Budha + lagnesha Surya in 5 for creative literature; Budha in Dhanusha for humanistic religion. George H. W. Bush -41 = material wealth derived mainly from his government positions and his ownership of natural resources (oil + gas, also cattle + land) = Budha + lagnesha Surya in 10 for government positions; Budha in Vrishabha for natural resources. For Simha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-11 Budha generates considerable wealth via family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as earned income from the marketplace of goods and services. Budha's materialistic behavior may increase wealth, solicit death, strengthen a second marriage, increase aptitude for languages, improve relations with the family history, intensify the articulatory powers of speech and song, and improve the capacity to store and acquire virtually any type of items of value, from food to furniture to art collections to currency money. In Budha's role as L-11, He articulates and describes the relationships between the of the marketplace network for the exchange of goods, ideas, and services. Budha can be a major fundraiser and facilitator of setting and achieving goals. if well disposed+ L-2 + L-11 calculating Budha = an excellent graha for the financial professional. Bhukti periods of maraka L-2 Budha can be fatal. For example, Simha-lagna USA Pres-37, Richard Nixondied of a debilitating stroke age 81, Ketu-Budha period Simha-lagna JFK, Jr. (son of the USA president) died of airplane crash into theo cean age 39, ShaniBudha period Simha-lagna PM-India, India-PM 1984-89 Rajiv Gandhi died of injuries from a bomb explosion age 46, Rahu-Budha period Remedial Ratna for Budha - Panna (pure Emerald) for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 101 : "For the Leo Ascendant, Mercury is the lord of the 2nd (house of wealth) and 11th (house of gains and fulfilment of ambitions). If the native wears an Emerald in the major period of Mercury and his sub-periods, he will get harmony in his family, substantial financial gains, name and fame. The results will be more pronounced if Mercury be in his own sign in the 2nd or in the 11th." Jupiter: Jupiter, as ruler of houses 5 and 8, is a planet of profound intelligence and deep research. Yet it can be a planet of ion and vice, showing difficulties or dishonor arising from ion. It can also show difficulties with children. Leo types must learn to employ their creativity on the deeper levels of the mind or it can overwhelm them as ion arising from the subconscious. They can suffer from being overly dramatic or overly romantic. It is generally auspicious but tainted by its rulership of the eighth. Jupiter is lord of 5th and 8th houses, But 5th house is its Mool Trikona rasi. So it is benefic in own dasa and bhukti. It indicates good results in regard to wealth, competitive examinations, progney, victory over enemies and happiness. If weak it brings about absence of or trouble to son, unlucky, loss to father and ill health. Jupiter as the ruler of the fifth and eighth houses can cause difficulty with having children, but a probing in depth mind. They always want to know why.

Jupiter: Lord of 5th and 8th houses if strong then gives good children, victory over enemies, wealth from speculation and happiness but if it is weak then loss of children or birth of children late in life, unlucky, death or loss to father etc. The fifth house ruling intelligence, benevolence, generosity and justice is governed by the planet of divine grace, Jupiter. Jupiter- As lord of 5th house, where its Mooltrikona sign fall Jupiter gives good results in regard to wealth, competitive exam, progeny etc., provided Jupiter is strong. If weak it brings about absence of or trouble to son, loss to father, and ill luck. Jupiter- Jupiter is lord of 5th and 8th houses and its Moola-trikona sign Sagittarius falls in 5th house, so gives auspicious results in its dasa bhukti, especially when strong. A weak Jupiter causes loss of sons, loss of fortune, losses to father etc, and the inauspicious results. Jupiter will be lord of the 5th and 8th houses. Being lord of 5th house, a trine, Jupiter is considered as an auspicious planet for this ascendant. The native may wear a yellow Sapphire, particularly in the major and sub-period of Jupiter. It will prove more useful if it is worn with a rudy, the gem stone of the Sun. Jupiter owns the 5th house. So according to the rule: Jupiter should be auspicious. But Jupiter owns the 8th house and this is why Jupiter is not mentioned auspicious in some versions. A strong and well placed Jupiter who has Sagittarius as its mooltikona sign in the fifth house can bestow the Leo ascendant with good fortune, sound investments and the great ability to have children and enjoy them. The individual will have success and strong intellect. For a female chart Jupiter would signify a successful husband. If Jupiter is weak or afflicted then there will be suffering from children or lack of children. There could be loss in investments and liver problems or diabetes. The husband may have a large ego and be overly ambitious but lack accomplishment. Jupiter by way of owning 5th (mooltrikona) house and 8th house endow the native with intelligency, generosity and divine grace. Exalted Jupiter with a strong Moon in its period indicates prosperity in a foreign land. Weak and afflicted Jupiter: Unhappiness on of male progeny, liver problems, diabetic, loss of mental peace. Guru L-5+ L-8 Remedial Ratna for Guru: Yellow Sapphire (pukharaja) for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 106 "For the Leo Ascendant Jupiter will be lord of the 5th and 8thhouses. Being lord of 5th house, a trine, Jupiter is considered as an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Consequently it will be beneficial for the native of this Ascendant to wear a yellow sapphire, particularly in the major and sub-period of Jupiter. It will prove more useful if it is worn with a Ruby, the gem stone of the lord of Ascendant." Venus: Venus, as ruler of houses 3 and 10, is a planet of power, prestige and egoism. It shows the danger of excessive pride, vanity and ambition. Yet it also shows a capacity for gaining friendship or working with people in high places. It is generally impulsive and inauspicious. Venus becomes lord of the 3rd (malefic house) and 10th ( kendraadhipatya dasha) houses. As a lord of 10th kendra, Venus a natural benefic ceases to be so and because of ownership of 3rd house becomes all the more malefic. Thus Venus is malefic for Leo Ascendant. Venus is the ruler of the third and the tenth houses giving drive and ambition for a career. They can put on the charm to get what they want. They need recognition.

Venus: A benefic planet, lord of 3rd and 10th house becomes malefic. So if it is weak or PAC with malefic planet then give good result for these houses. If it is strong then give bad result for these houses i.e. bad for service, younger sister and friends. The initiatives of a king are for financial prosperity and enjoyment ruled by Venus, whose mooltrikona sign fails in the third house. Venus- Being lord of the 10th and 3rd house Venus is considered as malefic for this Ascendant. Hence a weak Venus is desirable from the financial point of view, But for friends, Younger Sisters the period is likely to be one of trouble. Venus- Venus is the lord of 3rd and 10th houses. Being lord of 10th becomes neutral by losing auspiciousness. Again becomes lord of 3rd an inauspicious house as a result evil. A weak Venus gives though much wealth yet is bad for health of wife, friends, younger sister and matters pertaining to the profession and business. Venus is lord of the 3rd and the 10th house. Venus is considered an auspicious planet. But if as lord of the 10th Venus is posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th (where he will be exalted) Diamond will help to offset the set-backs in profession etc. if Venus is in his own sign in the 10th, it will give rise to two yogas, namely amala and malavya (one of the Panchamahapurusha yogas). Venus as the 10th lord turns neutral and again becomes inauspicious being a Trishadaya i.e.,3rd house lord. This has been explained under Slokas 10 and 7 earlier. Moreover Venus also observes enemity with the Lagna lord Sun. Venus, the planet of prosperity and enjoyment has Libra the mooltrikona sign in the third house representing initiatives, courage and communication. A strong, well-placed and unafflicted Venus gives the person the ability to enjoy those pleasures as well as having rewards in successful ventures or endeavors. The person has good relationships with younger siblings. If Venus is weak and afflicted then this could lead to unsuccessful ventures. There may be general unhappiness with the spouse and younger siblings, the spouse being a signification of Venus and the siblings an indicator of the third house. Venus the planet of financial strength and enjoyment, owns 3rd house (mooltrikona house) and 10th a Kendra, not a very strong feature. Exalted Venus turns the native into a pleasure seeker leaving aside the attention to istrative or organizational responsibilities of the native. Weak and afflicted Venus: Unrewarding and unsuccessful ventures, lack of happiness from wife and younger coborns. Shukra L-3 + L-10 commerce + governance Shukra = mutual enemy of lagnesha Surya Shukra L-3 (commercial business) + L-10 (governance) = natural capability to lead and govern, either by self-earned wealth (3) or by manual craft such as writing, drawing, planning behaviors. the native switches gracefully between the public sector and private business, earning wealth from both as one capitalizes on commercial skills when in governing roles and upon government s when in private business. Examples of governing figures famed as personally enriching switch-hitters: Elizabeth I , queen of England used national tax coffers to fund the commercial ventures of Sir Francis Drake, mainly his very profitable shipping piracy India-PM 1984-89 India-PM 1984-89 Rajiv Gandhi

[Chandra] USA Pres-36, Lyndon B. Johnson - notorious for taking huge family-business profits from government-funded supplies, mainly purchased for the Vietnam War. Johnson = suspected as a agent in the assassination of JFK, who was planning to pull the USA out of that profitable war. USA Pres-37, Richard Nixon USA Pres-41, George H. W. Bush "read my lips" USA Pres-30, Calvin Coolidge "money for all" Leadership capabilities and Style Simha folk are rather tricky in the leadership role due to Shukra's conflation of self-owned-business (3) and public-interest leadership (10). USA Pres-37, Richard Nixon "Tricky Dick" The Simha nativity empowers governance via the qualities of karma bhava Vrishabha according to the strength of Shukra, to make decisions which provide social order and lawfulness, with special emphasis upon matters of : the financial interests of the capitalized classes, "old money", stored wealth, bank s, acquisitions, hoarding, food and drink, cattle, jewels, fields and forests, heritage and history, stories and songs, face and voice, recorded knowledge secondarily, Shukra always carries the attributes of Thula, and these do contribute to the governance style: alliances, relationships, contracts, agreements, bargains, deals, matches, pairs, diplomacy, generally the leadership style features acquisition-oriented qualities of a taste for personal luxury (not always ostentatious, especially for elected politicians) tends to make promises and vows (Thula) in order to build trust (Thula) which are often overturned (8) when the native makes actual executive decisions (10th = 8th from 3, messages-announcements) Richard Nixon "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore" (falsely promising to leave politics) George H. W. Bush "read my lips" (falsely promising not to raise federal taxes) Shani regulates 7 = 10th-from-10th = presuming Shani is reasonably well disposed, Simha are often capable bureaucrats with an pragmatic Shani instinct for step-wise careful climbing up the ranks of the target hierarchy . Kumbha = 7 = scientific systems consulting, computerized governance. Politicians = excellent for socially diverse partnerships + wife's help with large-scale community fundraising wives of Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush, Calvin Coolidge) Shukra = relative L-3 / L-10 from either Simha lagna or Simha Chandra Marriage as a social relationship carries a script of: mentalism (3) and ever-present potential for secretive, sensually motivated extramarital interest (3 = 8th-from-8th) public displays of wealth, luxury, and collections of valuable objects for males, the wife tends to be talkative and professionalized (10). However as the primary agent of Shukra in the nativity, her life orientation is naturally adversarial to Simha-Surya's pursuit of pure truth (Surya) and self-glorification. She siphons attention away from the native and toward other relationships, whether intimate or merely social. L-10 Shukra is a particularly good influence upon career, particularly for professions which involves Shukra's karaka portfolio = beauty, wealth, luxury goods, sensual experience, interests of women, themes of marriage and alliance-building, and the interpersonal harmony of relationships.

L-3 Shukra benefits all activities in the communications sector, again with a specialization in sweets: women, luxury, beauty, music, harmonious relationships, and sensual pleasure. Shukra in strength for the Simha lagna enhances success in writing, publications, announcements; commercial verbiage of sales, marketing, advertizing; relationships with siblings and team-mates; and ensemble work in any venue. If uchcha Chandra or uchcha Rahu occupy Karma bhava, the career flourish in matters of women, fashion, luxury, and the social-emotional experience of partnering in human relationships. Male nativities Shukra has special significance for male nativities, because Shukra is karaka for marriage as a social institution as well as karaka for the female partner herself. From the Simha lagna+ L-3 and L-10 Shukra is less favorable. A male native can be predicted to face challenges from the wife's siblings (3) and her commercial undertakings (3). If Shukra is compromised, effects of 3 may include the drain of losses from education or purchase of a tooluxurious home. Nevertheless there are 10th-house benefits from her ability to raise his social rank in their community; pleasure from dignity of married status. For the Simha lagna with Kumbha Chandra, ( Dale Earnhardt) Shukra and Mangala create a special pair which controls 3-4 and 9-10. When both Shukra and Mangala are strong, the native is much empowered according to their location. Mangala = Yogakaraka L-4+L-9 from Simha lagna + L-3+L-10 from Chandra Shukra = Yogakaraka L-4+L-9 from Chandra + L-3+L-10 from Simha lagna Sweet and sensual Shukra benefits istrative careers. Native is well-liked in the office, by siblings, and by the public. Excellent for customer service and media professions. Remedial Ratna for Shukra: Flawless Shukra-ratna diamonds (hira) not advised for Simha Lagna from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 110 "For the Leo Ascendant, Venus is lord of the 3rd and the 10th houses. Here again Venus is not considered an inauspicious planet for this Ascendant. If, as lord of the 10th, Venus is posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th (where he will be exalted) Diamond will help to offset the setbacks in profession etc. If Venus is in his own sign in the 10th, it give rise to two yogas, namely Amala and Maidlavya (one of he Panchamahapurusha yogas). The effects of these yogas have been described as under: (1) Amala yoga: This yoga is caused when the 10th from the Moon or Lagna is occupied by a benefic (natural) planet. As a result of Amala yoga the person will achieve lasting fame and reputation. His character will be spotless and he will lead a prosperous life. (2) Malavya yoga is caused if Venus should occupy a quadrant which should be his own or exaltation sign. As a result, the person will have a well developed physique, will be strong minded, wealthy, happy with children and wife, endowed with clean sense organs and renowned and learned. The good effects of these yogas will get an impetus if a Diamond is worn during the major periods and sub-periods of Venus. " Saturn: Saturn, as ruler of houses 6 and 7, is a planet of enmity and disease, as well as relationship. Leos often tend to subordinate their partners or choose one lower in status in life. Partners may

become servants or, revolting from the dominant Leo personality, may become enemies. It is the most inauspicious of the planets for Leo. Saturn is the ruler of the sixth and the seventh houses. Saturn as the ruler of the sixth can give good work ethics and give discipline, but can cause discord and fighting with the spouse. Saturn can give a controlling, competitive possibly older spouse, who becomes an enemy. Saturn: It is overall malefic being a lord of 6th & 7th. It gives loss of health, wealth etc in its dasha & bhukti. The advisors and courtiers, ruled by the seventh house, are generally greedy and try to secure their future. They are ruled by Saturn in a Leo nativity. Saturn- It has lordship of 6th and 7th house. As lord of the 7th angle it ceases to be malefic but as lord of the sixth it again becomes a malefic. Hence in its Major period and Sub period Saturn gives physical trouble, debts and losses denoted by the sixth house. Saturn- Saturn is lord of 6th and 7th houses, a neutral as lord of 7th, but a maraka also and inauspicious as lord of 6th. Therefore Saturn is bad for Leo ascendant. As Saturn happens to be lord of the 7th, they must resist the temptation of yielding much to their wives or husbands if domestic happiness is to prevail. Saturn owns the 6th house, so he is inauspicious. Saturn also owns the 7th house a Maraka house, so he is also a Maraka though spared of the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha for being a natural malefic. Moreover, Saturn is also the enemy of the Lagna lord sun. Therefore Saturn is inauspicious and Maraka for Leo Lagna. The mooltrikona sign for Saturn is Aquarius placed in the seventh house. A strong and unafflicted Saturn will bring about a committed and serious marriage and this could be with someone that is older, whether it be their age or in their maturity. Good partnership in business matters and possible residence in another country may occur. If Saturn is weak and afflicted, then there will be separation or loss of the spouse, possible cheating by business partners and unpleasant visits or residence in a foreign land. Saturn owning the 6th and 7th (mooltrikona) houses is none too happy a planet. Exalted Saturn indicates successful t ventures and spouse possessing entrepreneurial capabilities. Weak and afflicted Saturn: Loss of spouse, separation, cheated by advisors/partners, unpleasant stay/residence in a foreign land. Shani L-6 + L-7 Periods of Shani = Tarot 9 of Wands reversed: "Ill health and faltering of the will." Pragmatic and conventional Shani makes trouble for Simha marriage (see Parashara at top of this page). L-7 Shani and Surya, lord of Simha, are bitter enemies. For peaceful marriage, avoid Shani ratna (blue topaz, blue sapphire, lapis lazuli, amethyst). However, each has their own "turf" and so long as they retain clear boundaries, there need be no severe conflicts in life. One of the rules for inner peace for a Simha native is that the spouse should have several "senior" and work-focused qualities. For example, it is reasonable to speculate that the nativity of the Prophet Muhammad should feature either Karkata or Simha lagna with a well-disposed Shani (also with uchcha Surya in the birth month of Rabi' al-awwal) since his first marriage at his age 25 to the 40-year-old successful merchant widow Khadija is ed to have been quite happy.

"double L-6" Shani trouble =an especially difficult graha for those nativities in which L-6 from both radix lagna (material enemies) and Chandra lagna (emotional resistance to agreement): Simha radix lagna + Simha Chandra = Madonna, shani-vrischika-5] Simha radix lagna + Kanya Chandra = George H. W. Bush - 41 = uchcha Shani-3 Simha Chandra + Kanya lagna = John F. Kennedy, shani-karkata-11 Fleshly death Physical separation of the soul from the flesh-shell is triggered mainly by the Vimshottari period of the "maraka" lords of bhava-2 or bhava-7, which for Simha lagna = Budha and Shani. Other cleared-for-departure agents include natural maraka Mangala and Rahu-Ketu giving the effect of a maraka graha ruler. The Shani drishti to Ayur-bhava (8 ) or even strong Shani in 8 will deliver a fairly long lifespan. Otherwise look to periods of Shani or Budha for death timing.Examples: PM-India, India-PM 1984-89 Rajiv Gandhileft his body in Rahu/Budha period USA Pres-37, Richard Nixon left his body in Ketu/Budha period JFK, Jr. left his body in Shani/Budha period Paramahamsa Yogananda slipped out during a Rahu-Ketu period, which is certainly an available option for those who know how to use it. Betty Ford used a bhukti of Mangala, as did Calvin Coolidge. However Shani is still a maraka for Simha lagna. Shani is an enemy of lagnesha Surya and although Shani does not like material change (and thus Shani by character resists death) Shani is a regulator, so if there are other factors which suggest a Shani-bhukti as the timing agent - for example, conditions of extreme scarcity, then Shani can do the job. Of course the best way to assess the length of life is to examine the life-line on the palm of your penholding hand. Yet even the life-line on the palm can change if the person gains a new "lease on life". I've seen it happen, especially when invalidating relationships are replaced with nourishing and validating ones which provide a "reason to live"! Remedial Ratna for Shani - Blue Sapphire (Nilam) from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 115 "For the Cancer and Leo Ascendants, Saturn will respectively be the lord of the 7th house, and 8th house and the 6th and 7th houses. The 6th and 8th are very inauspicious houses and the 7th is a death inflicting (maraka) house. The lords of these Ascendants are also enemies of Saturn. the native s of these two Ascendants should never wear a Blue Sapphire. " Rahu Rahu's effects for Meena lagna depend significantly on Rahu's bhava, rashi, and drishti. Rahu's effects for Kumbha lagna depend significantly on Rahu's bhava, rashi, and incoming drishti. Rahu amplifies the effect of any graha who are sharing Rahu's house; and also Rahu magnifies the effects of the lord of His occupied Rashi. Rahu and Ketu are said to give positive results in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th bhava from the lagna or from Chandra. In addition, some authorities posit that since R-K are exalted in Vrishabha-Vrischika (per BPHS), R-K will give good results when Mangala and Shukra are well-disposed. Numerous other schemes for evaluating the elusive aprakasha graha also exiSaint (More details in the summary provided by Dr. G.S. Kapoor .)

Rahu is co-lord of bhava-7 Kumbha. yugasthana is not a trine angle from Simha lagna. However, during the major period of Rahu , the Rahu-ratna (gomedha) may become a beneficial gem for purposes of enhancing the career (7 = 10th from 10) and deal-making roles such as diplomat or negotiator (7). Rahu is especially gifted in dealing with people from exotic or criminal or otherwise unusual backgrounds. If agreeable and fair-minded Shukra , lord of match-making and harmonious environments, is strong, then Rahu may be empowered to aid matters of alliance-building and crafting of social (Kumbha) contracts (7). However, even for these specialized targets, prescribe the Rahu-ratna only if Shukra and occupants of 7 are highly auspicious. Otherwise, Rahu's somewhat lawless tendency to self-promote and selfelevate without concern for impact on others may create a public backlash toward the end of Rahu mahadasha. Ketu = 4 + 8 Ketu's effects depend significantly on Ketu's bhava, rashi, and drishti. chidakaraka Ketu un-connects the effect of any graha sharing Ketu's house Ketu scatters the effects of His planetary lord For more detailed evaluation, see Ketu in 12 bhava. Ketu = temporal co-lord of bhava-4 = 9th-from-8th = Vrischika Ketu = the natural co-regulator of bhava-8. For Simha lagna, Lord Ketu = associated with Mangala = temporal co-regulator of 4 + natural co-regulator of 8. Mangala = Friend of lagnesha Surya Guru = temporal lord of 8-Meena. Mangala = friend of Guru to predict the effects of Ketu Mahadasha, measure: the influence of Ketu's planetary lord the disposition of both Guru and Mangala Ketu-ratna Vaidurya Under certain carefully assessed circumstances, if the lord of bhava-4 and occupants of bandhu bhava are auspiciously placed, and a "scattering" non-discriminating effect could be perhaps helpful, the Cat's Eye might aid special cases of settlement and protection for spiritualized purposes, for example the founding of a local retreat-center or monastery (4). These are rare circumstances but they do occur. Under very special circumstances may provide exceptional results for the spiritual educator looking to establish a mystery school. Especially successful for this unique purpose of continuation of the fire-worshipping priesthood when the radical lagna or Chandra = Ketu-ruled Nakshatra of Magha. Overall Mercury and Mars (ruling four houses of wealth) together for Leo ascendant give great uwealth and luck. Strong Mars by itself gives Raja Yoga. Mars and Jupiter (rulers of houses 5 and 9) give good karma or spiritual growth, particularly if aligned with the Moon (lord of house 12). Venus and Saturn (rulers of houses 3 and 6) give vanity and manipulation of others.

Leo as fixed fire shows a great deal of strength of will and determination. Its planets thus tend to act with both force and consistency. Leos have a strong sense of self and are usually able to achieve what they focus on. On the other hand, if their Sun and sense of self is weak, they can be among the most pitiable of people. Leo: The friendly planets are the Sun, Jupiter, Mars and the Moon to a lesser extent. The functional benefics (Yogakaraka Mars, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) when well placed and strong without the close conjunction or aspect of the functional malefics – the Moon, and Rahu & Ketu, are sure to help the native in acquiring to position in any area of life even if born with a humble background. When helped by exalted planets the position growth are significantly higher with greater powers. Simha/ Leo Lagna: Another royal sign. Ruled by the Sun itself. Pride, authority, inability to ask for favours. Ruby can be worn. Jupiter lords the 5th but also the 8th. The Dasha of Guru can transform life. Mars is again Yogakaraka but also the Badhak. As it rules the 9th House, there may be conflict and struggle at the level of luck. Surya/ Shiva must be propitiated. This can work for lawyers as they thrive on conflict and litigation. Still, it might be a good idea to ease one’s own life path. Even lawyers are entitled to that. The Moon is the 12th Lord and if afflicted or if it is an Amavasya birth, the mind can become vulnerable to acute suffering. Mercury, though malefic is like Kubera for the chart and can bring wealth if associated with the Arudha Lagna. Shani is malefic for the Lagna. Leo Lagna Colors:

Favorable Green

Numbers: Gem Stones:

1 Ruby

Unfavorable White, dark coffee, smoke gray and dull navy blue. 8, 4 Pearl, gomedh (hessonite) and cat's eye (lasonia)

Remedial Measures Be considerate to wife (Upaya) Fasting on Monday The sign Leo is ruled by the planet, the Sun, signifying intelligence, heart, male progeny, royalty and magnificence. This sign is fiery, positive, barren and signifies benevolence. Leos are rulers, extroverts, best organizers, patient listeners, jealous, decisive, art lovers, generous, authoritative and anxious to retain and expand their domain. Functional benefics, Mars, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, well placed and-strong, devoid of close conjunction/aspect of the functional malefics, the Moon, Rahu and Ketu, certainly help the native in acquiring leadership, or a top position in the Govt., in today's context, even if the native is born in an ordinary family. Merely Leo rising is helpful to Leo borns in assuming positions of power in the favorable periods with even average strength of planets. However, the weak and afflicted Sun and other planets mentally torture Leos as they cannot adjust with compromising situations and are always trying to assume control of the circumstances beyond control. Similarly, are to be read the results of the planets when they are in their signs of debilitation. However, the significations likely to be promoted when the planets are exalted, get a

set back when the concerned planets are debilitated and/or placed in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house. Planets for Leo Ascendant – Karaka and Maraka Dr. Shanker Adawal Leo Ascendant – Benefic & Malefic Benefic- Mars is the only benefic Malefic- Mercury, Venus and Saturn If Jupiter and Venus are connected with each other, no good will come out of such a yoga. Jupiter and Mars, if connected with each other, great happiness will result. If Saturn stands in 2nd or 7th, he will definitely become a Maraka. Benefic having death inflicting Dosha will prove Maraka for this Ascendant. Yogas for Leo Ascendant Y-1- - In the major Period of Mercury, there will be very good financial gains if Mercury, Sun and Mars are in Ascendant. Y-2- Saturn becomes a Yoga Karaka for this Ascendant if both Saturn and Mars are placed in 12th. Leo: Yogas from Bhavartha Ratnakar etc. 1. Sun-Mercury-Mars or Sun-Jupiter-Mercury conjunctions indicate wealth, whereas only a SunMercury combination indicates moderate fortunes. 2. A Jupiter-Venus combine causes destruction of other yogas. 3. Venus can't produce a yoga. However, he becomes a benefic when in Libra but a malefic when in Taurus. 4. If there's a Sun-Mercury-Mars conjunction in Ascendant, the Mercury dasa brings in much wealth. 5. The Saturn dasa will be fortunate if there's a Saturn-Mars combination in Cancer. Know about Leo Lagan Persons 1) Leo is the 5th sign in Zodiac. Leo is ruled by the Sun-centre of the solar system.

LEO ASCENDANT – R.V.Choudhry - Impact of Ascending Signs The sign Leo is ruled by the planet, the Sun, signifying intelligence, heart, male progeny, royalty and magnificence. This sign is fiery, positive, barren and signifies benevolence. Leo born people with weak and/or afflicted Sun in the chart face weak health, weak digestion, malfunctioning of heart, disease of spine and blood, lack of stamina and strong will power and weak eyesight. Leos are rulers, extrovert, best organisers, patient listeners, jealous, decisive, art lovers, generous, authoritative and anxious to retain and expand their domain. As the weakness prone planet, Mercury, rules their second house ruling kingdom, their status is mostly short lived and they are always on the move to solve the problems one after the other. They are receptive to the ideas of others but provide leadership as per their own conviction. They are anxious to oblige others by favours so that they are recognised by others as royal. They intend to punish the guilty and rarely apologize, those who do not surrender completely. A king needs help of all specialists and cannot afford to be ease loving. As such, the Moon, the planet representing ease is the functional malefic for Leo born people. The Leo born people are most alert and very fast in assimilating diversified activities and problems. Mercury, the planet of analytical faculties, rules the second house representing concentration. The initiatives of a king are for financial prosperity and enjoyment ruled by Venus, whose mooltrikona sign falls in the third house. The fifth house ruling intelligence, benevolence, generosity and justice is governed by the planet of divine grace, Jupiter. The advisors and courteers, ruled by the seventh house, are generally greedy

and trying to secure their future. They are ruled by Saturn in a Leo nativity. Yogakaraka Mars represents the executive power of the king as the mooltrikona sign of Mars falls in the ninth house ruling father and fortune. Functional benefics, Mars, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, well placed and strong, devoid of close conjunction/aspect of the functional malefics, the Moon, Rahu and Ketu, certainly help the native in acquiring leadership or a top position in the Govt, in todav's context even if the native is born in an ordinary family. Merely Leo rising is helpful to Leo borns in assuming positions of power in the favourable periods with even average strength of planets. However, the weak and afflicted Sun and other planets mentally torture Leos as they cannot adjust with compromising situations and are always trying to assume control of the circumstances beyond control. Similarly, are to be read the results of the planets when they are in their signs of debilitation. However, the significations likely to be promoted when the planets are exalted get a set back when the concerned planets are debilitated and/or placed in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house. Unfavourable colours White, dark coffee, smoke grey and dull navy blue. Unfavourable stones. Pearl, gomedh (hessonite) and cat's eye (Iasonia) Weak and afflicted planets & their Effects Leo Lagna - O.P.Verma - Laghu Parasari For Leo Lagna Saturn, Mercury and Venus are inauspicious planets. Mars is only auspicious. The combination of Jupiter and Venus alone is not productive of auspiciousness. Mars-Jupiter combination is productive of auspicious results specially. Mercury is endowed with Maraka qualities but he himself does not inflict death. Some of the texts have included Saturn instead of Merscury. Mercury and other planets told earlier, if are endowed with Maraka characteristics inflict death. If the birth occurs in Leo Lagna, the auspicious and inauspicious results of the planets should thus be ascertained, opine the knowledgeable. To one born in Leo, Mercury and Venus are evil or inauspicious; and Mars alone is purely auspicious. The combination of Mars and Venus alone will not produce Yoga or auspicious results. Mercury and other inauspicious planets with characteristics of Marakas turn out to be Marakas. In this way, the results for Leo Lagna are to be guessed by the wise. In Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, the reading is: Mercury, Venus and Saturn are evil. In B.P.H.S, we have a reading which is parhaps the best one to be adopted: So Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are termed as auspicious. The Sun is lord of the Lagna, so he essentially is auspicious for Leo Lagna. Jupiter-Venus conjunction cannot produce much good results as both are blemished moreover they are natural enemies of each other. However there can be hope of some good results, if Jupiter is in the 10th house in Taurus and Venus occupies Sagittarius in the 5th house. Thus both the planets will then function more as the 5th and 1Oth house lords. Jupiter-Mars relation forms an auspicious combination and bestows greatly auspicious results. Jupiter is the only planet blemished due to the 8th house lordship. To bestow greatest auspicious results out of the relationship, Jupiter and Mars either should have an exchange of houses through the 4th and 5th houses or through the 5th and 9th houses.

Similarly, Venus and Mars relationship can be of good, if it occurs such as Mars occupies the 10th house in Thurus and Venus occupies Aries as the 9th house. Fruitful Yogas: 1. Sun + Mars, best combination. 2. Sun + Jupiter, only Jupiter blemished, therefore auspicious. 3. Mars + Venus, only Venus Trishadaya lord, hence good. 4. Mars alone is Yogakaraka because he himself owns a Kendra as well as Trikona. The requirement of the yoga i.e., relation between the Kendra and Trikona lord is established. 5. Mars + Jupiter, only Jupiter is blemished as the 8th lord. Spoilt Yogas: 1. Mars + Saturn, Saturn doubly afflicted and enemy of Mars. 2. Jupiter + Venus, both blemished therefore yoga is spoilt. 3. Jupiter + Saturn both blemished, therefore yoga is spoilt. Leo: 1. Sun-Mercury-Mars or Sun-Jupiter-Mercury conjunctions indicate wealth, whereas only a SunMercury combination indicates moderate fortunes 2. A Jupiter-Venus combine causes destruction of other yogas 3. Venus can’t produce a yoga. However, he becomes a benefic when in Libra but a malefic when in Taurus 4. If there’s a Sun-Mercury-Mars conjunction in lagna, the Mercury dasa brings in much wealth 5. The Saturn dasa will be fortunate if there’s a Saturn-Mars combination in Cancer Leo Ascendent/ Simha This is a fire sign signifying intelligence, male progeny, status, magnificence and power. Leo's are rulers, extroverts, organizers, patient listeners, decisive, art lovers, generous and authoritative. Leo's like attention and love to talk about themselves, but essentially they have strong and noble hearts and can suffer from too many emotions and need for attention. If Leo's fail then they can become dejected. In fact the dejected and disappointed Leo can be one of the most miserable people in the world.

Your favorite colors are red, gold. Lucky Color: Gold, Orange, White, and Red Leo Sun + Fixed Fire The Sun is the authority, and the strong sense of identity. The fixed mode is attractive and draws valuable things towards it rather than chasing after them. This causes Leo to the kind of selfconfidence that is charismatic and creates a powerful leader. This resonates loudly with the nature of the fire element, as well. Fire lights the path for others to follow. Leo encourages strong self-confidence, generating the charisma and authority that commands and guides many followers. The lion symbolizes Leo. The appropriateness of this image is quite obvious. The lion is the king of the jungle – and the Sun is the king of the planets. The lion is a calm, powerful, stately animal – much like the fixed mode. But like fire, the lion can be punishing when it decides to act. Leo Qualities: Charming, Dignified, Loyal, Generous, Warm, Indulgent, Officious Vital Signs: • None can ignore this sign! They strut around regally and are shrouded in an air of regality and splendor. • They have a penchant for luxury, glamour and worldly pleasures! • These people have a touch of class which may be accompanied by dignity and a concern for those they need to protect. • They are loyal, folks and friends can depend on them to be by their sides through the thick and thin of things. • They are generous, large-hearted and warm. • Their childlike approach makes them endearing and lovable it is thanks to this childlike quality that they relate well with children. • When faced by emotional upheavals they may withdraw into a shell and refrain from expressing themselves, thus appearing perfectly well-balanced. On the other hand, they may vie for everyone's attention by being the jester! Problems are magnified, with the lion striving to be the centre of attention! • Leos need to be in the driver's seat to feel secure, this denied, they may turn into nervous wrecks. Star Quirks Do they have an ego? Yes, a lion-sized one at that! They constantly seek attention and will do everything within their capacity to be in the limelight. Their homes are generally palatial with a touch of glamour and class.These independent souls would rather play the generous donor than the gracious taker. Leo Ascendant, Leo Rising Sign Leo rising people cannot help but be noticed. They radiate a special energy and magnetism that gets others' attention. Sometimes it's because they are loud people who pay a lot of attention to their personal appearance (especially their hair!); other times it's due to a regal manner that simply demands interest from others.

Leo Ascendant people are very self-aware and body-conscious. They are acutely aware of others, and how they come across. In fact, these people are especially aware of their personal "backdrop"-they consider what the people they're with, and the environments they are in, do to their own image. Often, Leo rising natives feel as if they are on stage, even in the privacy of their own homes! They are given to rash decisions, temper tantrums, and excesses. However, they have plenty of staying power, drive, and their idealism keeps them from getting into too much trouble. The desire to oversee the goings-on in their circle can sometimes amount to bossiness. If this desire doesn't go too far, however, it can just mean a person who wants to make sure the people they love are all right. Many Leo rising people are managers, either by profession or character. The tendency to overestimate things, and themselves, is generally present. This is due to a natural enthusiasm and optimism about any new undertaking. Sometimes, they are walking commercials. In fact, Leo rising people make excellent promoters. Leo rising people are generally demonstrative, and given to grand gestures. Drama comes naturally to these natives. In fact, some are so caught up in fiction, they're a little blind to fact. They have an unusual need to be ired. Leo Ascendants often have a strong physical constitution. They pay special attention to their personal appearance and mannerisms. Usually, they choose clothing and hairstyles that are youthful. Their manner is authoritarian and strong. No matter their age in real-world , Leo rising people are kids at heart. They are fun-loving and warm; generous and spirited. Just how magnanimous and outgoing a Leo rising individual is will be modified by the placement of the Sun by sign and house. This is because the ruling planet of a Leo Ascendant is the Sun. For example, a Leo rising person with Sun in Virgo may not come across as strongly as a Leo rising person with Sun in Aries. No matter the placement of the Sun, however, Leo rising natives are quite self-aware and optimistic. They have a natural flair for presentation, an eye for quality, and a hardto-resist warmth of style. They want to make things happen, and create a stir. The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations. The characteristics of Leo Ascendant described above are modified by planets conjunct the Ascendant, planets that aspect the Ascendant, and the position of the ruling planet of the sign on the Ascendant. For example, a person with a Leo Ascendant with its ruling planet, the Sun, in Sagittarius will respond to the environment a little differently than another person, also with a Leo Ascendant, but whose Sun is in Scorpio. Similarly, a person with a Leo Ascendant who also has Saturn conjunct it will "behave" differently than someone with a Leo Ascendant who does not have that aspect in their natal charts. Leo Rising The following interpretation of Leo Ascendant is from the Karmic Insight Report, and is written from an esoteric viewpoint. The point that was on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth is called the ASCENDANT, or rising sign. While the Sun describes your conscious direction and current life focus, and the Moon your subconscious predisposition and past, the Ascendant indicates a way of being that transcends and embraces past, present, and future. It describes the way you engage and merge with the outer

world and how you bring through into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your birth chart. Everything is filtered through the Ascendant from an esoteric point of view. It indicates your soul's function and thus a key part of your destiny. Leo Rising - General Everything you do is done with pride, creativity and a sense of your own uniqueness. The desires to be a shining star and to stand out as an individual color all of your interactions with the world. At best, this motivates you to excel, to achieve at the highest level possible for you and to be a bighearted, generous, magnanimous, and honorable person. Others' successes and talents inspire you. You applaud and appreciate individuality, creativity and the spirit and joy of life wherever you see it being expressed. Warmth and benevolence flow from you and others are attracted to your heart, your radiance, your strength. You carry the qualities of the archetypal ruler. You are King or Queen of your realm. If you express the lower side of this energy, however, the picture is much less lovely. You are terribly narcissistic, self-centered, excessively concerned with being impressive, respected and ired. You cannot share the glory and usurp the credit for others' contributions. You want to "out-do" everybody else. You do not it your mistakes, you are domineering and cannot let people get too close to you lest they discover you are not as great as you would like them to believe. You are either overly self-conscious or you have to put yourself forward and be seen and heard on all occasions. Your very presence dominates the scene in ways that more subtle, quiet individuals find intrusive. However, if other factors in your birth chart give you a sense of proportion, humility, and a genuine awareness of other people, these negative tendencies are much less pronounced. Your soul-function does involve leadership, or being "out there" on the stage of life in a significant way. You can be even more effective and fulfilled in this if you stay focused on giving from your heart instead of your ego. A Spiritual Interpretation of Leo Rising The following interpretation of Leo Rising is from Your Spiritual Path Report. "The first four signs incorporated the seed of intuition, the desire for expression, the capacity for thought, and the depth of feeling and potential for reproduction. Now, with the Leo Ascendant, you experience the capacity of will. For the plant kingdom, will expresses in the ripening of the fruit. Will, for us, is the drive to creativity in the material world, and aspiration on the spiritual plane. You only need to observe the activities of children between the ages of ten and twelve or thirteen to understand the power of will. At their best they are fully engaged in life, seeking a wide range of experiences, and creatively interacting with their peers. They are testing their wills against those of parents, teachers, and acquaintances. They are learning how to manage the force of will that drives them. There is a blending or fusion of all life's experiences for this age group that reflects the energy of Leo on the Ascendant quite well. Leo will gather information on the intuitive plane, measure it against what is perceived through the physical senses, and then mobilize the spirit behind whatever action is taken. This process results in a degree of self-consciousness that was not there previously. The focus of physical energy is on the heart and the spine. Clear intuition often comes through the heart center, and clear effort depends on mental and emotional structure like that of the spine. The two need to work together to accomplish anything on either the physical or spiritual level. Perhaps the most powerful piece of writing I have encountered that speaks to the fusion of intuition and will is the Heart Sutra. This Buddhist text is a short poetic expression of the true nature of things. Here I wish to include a couple of thoughts: 1. "Form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form." This basic statement incorporates the

paradox of existence in its basic form. It is possible for the Leo Ascendant to grasp the nature of the paradox and make it the spiritual guide for the Will. 2. The mantra, or spell, included in the Heart Sutra is as follows: (Gate is pronounced gah'tay) Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha. Gone gone gone beyond gone altogether beyond, O what an awakening, all-hail! Because the mantra is from Sanskrit, reciting the Sanskrit words may have more power (this is probably true of all spells and mantras). However, the English translation retains both the rhythm and the "g" sounds that are integral elements of the mantra. Imagine a room full of monks repeating the mantra in their deep voices. The mantra is heard, but the vibration also affects the heart directly." Leo Ascendant from the Cosmo Natal Report: "Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, you like to be impressive and to be seen as Somebody Special. You are not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and are rarely content being in the background or in the subordinate position. You are a natural leader, and do not take orders from others very well. You must have something of your own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that you can develop and manage according to your own will and vision. Whatever you do, you do it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. You like to put your own personal stamp on it. You also have a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and are deeply offended if someone treats you in a humiliating or dishonorable way. You will rarely confront the offender - you are too proud to do so - but you will lose your affection and respect for them. You dislike pettiness and hate to be snubbed or ignored. You ire others who are strong individuals like yourself. When you befriend someone, you are tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. You are very giving and generous, but your gifts are never anonymous - you expect recognition and appreciation for them. You also expect the intense loyalty that you offer to your dear ones to be reciprocated. However, you often have trouble working with people who are as strong as yourself, for you do not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If you are not in the leading role, you aspire to be and will compete with the person who is. You have great heart and courage, and people often look to you for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. You always have your best face forward and rarely allow others to see you hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. You also have a very strong need for love, iration, appreciation, and praise, although you don't like others to realize just how important it is to you. Your outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Your own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interests you more than anything else. You feel that if you do your best where you are, the rest of the world will take care of itself."
