Sun, while the second half is under the influence of the Moon. The first half of each even sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces) is under the influence of the Moon, while the second half is under the influence of the Sun. If, for example, Mars is 20 degrees away from Virgo in the second half of any even sign, then it is placed in the Sun lordship. This is how all the planets are diagnosed in the horoscope.
In this section, only the signs Cancer (Moon's lordship) and Leo (Sun's lordship) are considered. All planets can be positioned either in Cancer or in Leo, which serve as indicators for the father and mother, through which the results of the second house are expressed.
A rising sign in Leo indicates that it is important for a person to earn money on their own, to support themselves and their relatives (a masculine sign). Such a person is more active.
A rising sign in Cancer indicates that the person is more inclined towards family relationships rather than financial gains (a feminine sign). Such a person has fewer options or desires to earn on their own.
A rising sign in Leo indicates that the horoscope owner is capable of changing their family's karma regarding wealth for the better, while a rising sign in Cancer does not indicate this.
The deities ruling the Sun's lordship are Devata (gods), and the Moon's lordship is Pitri (the ancestors, elders). Planets in Leo indicate wealth through the individual's efforts, while in Cancer, it indicates wealth through the blessings of the ancestors. If more planets are positioned in Cancer, it will be easier for the person to earn; if in Leo, it will be harder.
Jupiter is a marker of wealth and the Karaka (indicator of qualities and traits) of the second house. Its state in the horoscope is very important. The horoscope allows for checking what type a planet belongs to—solar type or lunar type. Masculine planets—Sun, Mars, and Jupiter—give good results when positioned in the Sun's lordship (Leo). Feminine planets—Moon, Venus, and Saturn—give good results in the Moon's lordship (Cancer). The dual-natured Mercury brings good results in both lordships, but in practice, everything depends on which planets influence it in this horoscope.
Each lordship can be divided into 3 parts of 5 degrees. A planet in the first part (0-5 or 20-25) is considered strong, in the second part (5-10 or 15-20)—its powers are average, and in the third part (10-15 or 25-30)—it is weakest.
Planets in the Sun's lordship give the person initiative. Planets in the Moon's lordship mainly provide reliance on society, family, and the past. If there are too few planets in the Sun's lordship, it will be very difficult for the horoscope owner to gain recognition from the environment. If there are too few planets in the Moon's lordship, it indicates a lack of understanding with others and that the person may receive recognition.
It is important to check the Lagna in the horoscope (rising sign), Lagnesha (the planet ruling the rising sign or ascendant, the first house sign), and the Moon. If the Lagnesha (malefic) is positioned in an odd sign in the birth chart and also in the Sun's lordship, the person will be tough, strong, and wealthy. If positioned in the Malefic in the fourth sign of the D1, and also in the Moon's lordship, the person will be successful, wise, with gentle speech. When the condition of the planets is mixed, the results will also vary accordingly.
One can check the ruler of the period the person is in (Dasha) to understand what will happen to the person during that time regarding speech, finances, and tendencies. In Jyotish, it is customary to divide a person's life into periods of planets—Dasha. The meaning of the word Dasha is “state,” “circumstances,” “period.” This period is divided into various sub-periods (each lasting different amounts of time), in which a person's life is influenced by a specific planet or celestial body.
The fundamental nature of a person can be seen through the Lagnesha or the Moon. This is their innate nature, and if the Dasha (nature of the planets) brings changes into this nature, it indicates a period of changes. Any planet in an odd sign in the birth chart and in the Moon's lordship makes the person successful, intelligent, and gentle in speech. For example, Mars in Pisces or in the Moon's lordship makes a person proficient during Mars's period. Jupiter in Leo or in the Sun's lordship, positioned in the first part of the lordship, will bring rude speech and make the person tough during Jupiter's period.
Benefic Planets (waxing Moon or full Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury) tend to provide immediate support in their functions, bringing some goodness, material prosperity, love, and success, without the hindrance of serious difficulties. Whereas the Malefics (Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Saturn, waning Moon) are there to help us develop certain traits, taking us through various challenges where we temper our character. Additionally, when they influence (provide aspects) in the horoscope on other planets, they take something away, slowing down activity in some areas. Thus, if Saturn, Mars, and Rahu simultaneously bring aspects to a certain house in the horoscope, there will be issues there. This is like the effect of a penetrating and envious gaze. Mercury combined with a malefic also turns malevolent (malefic). When the Moon and Mercury unite with Jupiter or Venus (in Benefics), they gain good traits and become Benefics.
The aspects of Saturn influence the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses from the house where Saturn is positioned. The aspects of Rahu influence the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from the house where Rahu is positioned. The aspects of Mars influence the 4th, 7th, and 8th houses from the house where Mars is positioned. The aspects of Jupiter influence the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from the house where Jupiter is positioned. All other planets influence the 7th house from the house where they are positioned.
Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable Signs
All signs in the horoscope are divided into cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), and mutable (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius). This division relates to the specific nature of each sign.
The cardinal signs are associated with curiosity and progress. If we have a person whose majority of planets in their natal chart are in cardinal signs, the traits characterizing their personality will be activity, curiosity, instability, agility, and volatility. Such traits will also be present in a person if their Moon and Lagna are located in cardinal signs.
If most planets are in fixed signs, it indicates a contemplative person, focused, prone to immerse themselves in details, and to ponder something for a long time.
Mutable signs include characteristics of movement and stability. In certain areas, these people can be active, but at some moment, they may "freeze."
Cardinal signs will always push the person forward, fixed signs will stop them, forcing the person to think before making decisions. Mutable signs will bring doubts to the person, creating difficulties in decision-making. It is hard to negotiate with such people. Each type has signs from all the elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air).
Feminine and Masculine Signs
The same planet can govern a masculine sign and a feminine sign. For example, Venus rules the feminine sign—Taurus and the masculine sign—Libra. When talking about the power of the planet, it is important to know whether it expresses itself in a masculine or feminine nature. In a feminine sign (for example, Venus in Taurus), the planet will manifest in a softer way, whereas in a masculine sign (Venus in Libra), it will express itself in negotiation skills. For career, Venus heralds much better outcomes in Libra than in Taurus.
If most planets in the natal chart of a man are in masculine signs, then his masculine nature will express itself easily, and he will not have to learn it. If most planets are in feminine signs, the man will be soft, flexible, and have a tendency to do household chores.
If in the natal chart of a woman, most planets are in feminine signs, she will easily express her feminine qualities. If most of the stars
