PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
The first edition of the first volume dealing with Houses 1 to
6 was published in 1941. For various reasons not worth
mentioning preparation of the second volume had to be delayed
all these years until my daughter Gayatri Devi Vasudev came
forward a year ago and took up the preparation under my
guidance. But for her assistance, the second volume would not
have seen the light of day.
The second volume deals with Houses 7 to 12. It can be
considered as more important than the first volume because it
covers such important matters as marriage, occupation, etc.
The pattern of writing is more or less similar to that adopted
in the first volume results of the disposition of the lord of a house
in different houses, general combinations bearing on the house,
results of different planets occupying the house and the time of
fructification of such indications followed by a number of practical
illustrations.
In fact the treatment of the seventh and tenth houses is so
exhaustive that such details as the possibility and time of
marriage, its break-up and re-marriage, nature of wife, her
character, disposition, status, number of marriages, etc., have all
been dealt with exhaustively.
So far as the tenth house is concerned it is the pivot of the
horoscope—whatever is astrologically possible to indicate
1
the nature of profession in the present political, social and
economic set-up has been explained as clearly as possible.
The other houses, viz., eighth (longevity), ninth (general
fortune, foreign travels, father, etc.), 11th (financial gains) and
12th (losses, spiritual advancement, etc.) have not been under-
rated. They have also received due attention.
In the judgement of a horoscope an astrologer faces many a
pitfall. How to overcome such pitfalls and arrive at a judgement
have been explained with suitable illustrations.
The book has been illustrated with over 260 charts and is
therefore of great practical importance to all those who wish to
study astrology.
The first and second volumes covering the entire gamut of
predictive astrology, especially in its practical aspect, will be
found to be of immense use to all those who are interested in the
subject—professors, amateurs and savants
I hope the educated public will extend to this volume the
same indulgence it has done to my other writings.
Thanks are due to Messrs. P. N. Kamat and G. K.
Ananthram of IBH Prakashana for bringing out this volume
attractively.

Concerning the Seventh House
The 7th house mainly refers to marriage, wife or husband
and marital happiness.
Marriage is a landmark in life. It is an institution founded on
love and affection. But it is also a most complicated structure
made up of a whole series of heterogeneous subjective and
objective factors. Since we are concerned only with the psycho-
astrological aspects of marriage, we shall exclude the objective
factors of legal and social significance in our study.
Marriage is not an institution for brute sense gratification. It
is not a civil agreement that affects only the parties to it. It is the
basis of the family and its dissolution as well as formation is a
matter of social interest. It is the mould out of which the future
generation comes out.
In our own country, marriage has been considered a
sacrament and comprehends the equality of the partner in
respect of Dharma (right conduct), Artha (financial position),
Kama (sex relations) and Moksha (final emancipation).
Main Considerations
In analysing the Seventh Bhava, due consideration must be
given to three important factors, viz., (a) the House, (b) the Lord,
and (c) the Karaka, who in this case would be Venus.
2 How to Judge a Horoscope
There are the secondary considerations also, viz , the occupants
of the 7th house and the planets associating with the 7th lord.
Results of the Seventh House Occupying
Different Houses
In the First House : -The native may marry someone he has
known since childhood or one who has been brought up in the
same house. The wife or husband of the native will be a stable
and mature person. He will be intelligent and capable of
weighing the pros and cons. Afflictions to the 7th lord may entail
constant travelling. If the 7th lord and Venus are afflicted, the
native may be sensual and seek clandestine relationship with the
opposite sex.
In the Second House :—The native will get wealth from
women or through marriage. If afflicted, one may earn money
through despicable means as trading in flesh, women, not
excluding his wife. He may eat food offered at death-ceremonies
(shraddha) and wander about seeking such food. If the second
house is a dual sign and afflicted, more than one marriage is
likely. If a maraka Dasa is on, the native may die during the
period of the seventh lord. The person will have a wavering mind
and will always be inclined sensually.
In the Third House : — This disposition gives lucky brothers
who may live abroad. If afflicted the native may indulge in
adultery with a brother's or sister's married partner. Affliction also
gives misfortunes to co-boms. Female issues servive.
In the Fourth House :—Gives a lucky and happy married
partner with many children and comforts. The native may have
the benefit of high academic qualification and own many
vehicles. If afflicted, domestic harmony may be spoilt through an
immature and mean partner. The native may run into endless
problems on account of his conveyances. If severely

afflicted by the nodes and other malefics, the native's wife's
character becomes questionable.
In the Fifth House:—An early marriage, the partner may hail
from an affluent and well-to-do family. The wife or husband will
be mature and an advantage to the native. If the 7th lord is
weak, there may be no children. If severely afflicted, one may
get issues through the adulterous conduct of the wife. If there
are both afflictions and benefic influences on the 7th lord, the
native may get only female progeny. Trouble to one's office
superiors through foreign sources is likely. The native will
possess good character.
In the Sixth House :—The native may have two marriages
with both partners living. One may marry a cousin such as an
uncle's daughter. If badly afflicted and the karaka Venus is also
ill-disposed, one may suffer from impotency and many other
diseases. The native's wife may be sickly and jealous by nature
denying the husband happiness from marriage. If Venus is well
placed but the 7th lord is afflicted, the native may suffer from
piles. If Venus is weak but not afflicted, one may desert or lose
one's married partner through some indiscreet act.
In the Seventh House;—If well placed, the native will have a
charming and magnetic personality. Women will flock to him and
seek him out for alliance. The wife or husband will be a just and
honourable person coming from a family of reputation and social
standing. If weak and afflicted, it gives a lonely life devoid of
marriage and friends, and loss through marriage negotiations.
In the Eighth House :—When well placed, marriage may
take place with relatives or the partner may be a rich person.
Affliction causes the early death of partner while the native
