Effects of Dhan Bhava

1-2. Combinations for Wealth. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, speaking on the effects of Dhan Bhava. If the Lord of Dhan is in Dhan, or is in an angle, or in trine, he will promote one's wealth (or monetary state). Should he be in Ari/8 th /12 th , financial conditions will decline. A benefic in Dhan will give wealth, while a malefic instead will destroy wealth.

3. One will be wealthy, if Guru is in Dhan, as the Lord of Dhan, or is with Mangal.

4. If Dhan Lord is in Labh, while the Lord of Labh in Dhan, wealth will be acquired by the native. Alternately these two Lords may join in an angle, or in a trine.

5. If the Lord of Dhan is in an angle, while Labh Lord is in a trine thereof, or is drishtied by, or yuti with Guru and Sukr, the subject will be wealthy.

6-7. Yogas for Poverty. One will be penniless, if the Lord of Dhan Bhava is in an evil Bhava, while the Lord of Labh Bhava is also so placed and Dhan Bhava is occupied by a malefic. There will be penury right from birth and the native will have to beg even for his food, if the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava are both combust, or with malefics.

8. Loss of Wealth through the King. Should the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava be relegated to Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava and Rahu is in Dhan Bhava, the native will lose his wealth on account of royal punishments.

9. Expenses on Good Accounts. When Guru is in Labh, Sukr is in Dhan and a benefic is placed in Vyaya Bhava, while Dhan' s Lord is yuti with a benefic, there will be expenses on religious, or charitable grounds.

10. Fame etc. If Dhan' s Lord is in own Rasi, or is exalted, the native will look after his people, will help others and also will become famous.

11. Effortless Aquisition. If Dhan' s Lord is yuti with a benefic and is in a good division, like Paravatahs, there will be effortlessly all kinds of wealth in the native's family. ("Paravatahsdau" of the text denotes Paravat, or such other higher Vargas: Dhan's Lord should be in Paravatahs, or in Devalokahs, Brahmalokahs, Sakravahanahs, or Sridhamahs in the Dash Varg scheme)

12. Eyes. If Dhan Lord is endowed with strength, the native will possess beautiful eyes. Should the said Grah be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be disease, or deformity of eyes.

13. Untruthful Person. If Dhan Bhava and its Lord are yuti with malefics, the native will be a talebearer, will speak untruth and will be afflicted by windy diseases.
