Ch. 11. Evils and the Moon
1-2. I now explain the combinations, that are
capable of nullifying the said evils, for these are
important in the Science of Horoscopy and initially
explained below are the Yogas to counteract the
evils emanating from, or afflicting the Moon, as
done by expounders, like Lord Brahma.
3-4. If the Moon is Full and is aspected by all
heavenly bodies, all evils are countered, just as
lawbreakers are destroyed by the king. Venus
aspecting the Full Moon, while the latter is in
friendly divisions is capable of obstructing evils,
just as abdominal remedies are able to cure windy
diseases.
5-6. Should the Moon be in her deep exaltation and
be aspected by Venus, evils are countered, just as
phlegm and bile are controlled by induced vomiting.
If the Moon be in the divisions of benefic planets
and be aspected by benefics, she will not prove evil
though she may be waning, just as nutmeg bark treats
dysentery.
7-8. Benefics in the 7th, 8th and 6th from the Moon
remove all adversities, just as madness is removed
by Kalyana Grita. Same is the case, if the Moon is
conjunct benefics and be in the decanates owned by
benefics, just as saline water controls ear
diseases.
9-10. Should the full Moon be in a benefic's
Dwadasamsa, all evils are removed, just as
butter-milk checks piles. If the Moon occupies a
benefic's Rasi and receives the Lagna Lord's aspect,
adversities for short-life are counteracted, as even
a noble housewife can destroy the fame of the
descent, if she seeks union with other men.
11-12. Even though the Moon may be in a House owned
by a malefic, or in such Vargas, she does not prove
evil, if aspected by her dispositor. This is
comparable-to a miser protecting his money. If the
dispositor of the Moon is strong and be in aspect to
benefics, or friendly planets, the Moon is not
capable of harming, in comparison to a timid person,
who cannot face others even though he may be in war
field.
13-14. If the Lord of the Moon Sign is in Lagna and
is aspected by all planets, all evils are removed,
just as the ointment of holy fig and bamboo bark
removes whiteness. The Moon in her exaltation, own,
friendly, or benefic Vargas, aspected by benefics,
but not malefics counteracts all-evils, as the Sun
does remove fog.
15. Just as quartan fever is removed by inhaling
Agashya flower, all evils are checked by Mercury and
Venus in the 12th of Moon, malefics in the 11th and
Jupiter in the 10th.
16-17. Should the Moon be in the 6th, 3rd, 10th,
11th, or 4th from the natal Ascendant and be
aspected by benefics, evils are removed, as though a
king destroys his opponents. The Lord of the Moon
Sign is singly capable of removing all evils, if he
is with full strength and aspected by benefics,
similar to an inebriated tiger throwing away a
thousand deer.
Thus ends the 11th Ch., entitled “Evils and the
Moon” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
