Vrana Yoga
Definition.-The 6th lord, being a malefic, should occupy the Lagna, 8th or 10th.
Resulrs.-The person suffers from dreadful disease of cancer.
Remarks,-A literal application of the yoga is not at all recommended. Firstly, the 6th lord must be a malefic. This would be possible provided the ascendant is Gemini, Leo’ Virgo, Scorpio or Pisces. It occurs to me that Scorpio must be excepted as the 6th lord happens to be Lagnadhipathi himself. And seconclly, he should occupy either the Lagna, the 8th or
the 10th. The presence of 6th lord, whether a benefic or malefic, in Lagna is always held to deplete the vitality of the horoscope. Probably, the malefic 6th lord, in addition to weakening the general structure of the horoscope, would also cause physical troubles.
The seat of disease should be located by taking into consideration the planet involved. If the planet in question be the Sun, then the person suffers from cancer of the head; if the planet is the Moon-cancer of the face; Mars–throat or neck (or rectum) ; Mercury-lower stomach; Jupiter nose; Venus-eyes; Saturn-legs; and Rahu and Kethu-abdomen. If the malefic planet in question is aspected by benefics there will not be much trouble. The allocation of the seat of disease to different planets appears to be incomplete inasmuch as several organs have been omitted.
Cancer is a general name applied to all malignant tumours. Cancer is liable to damage important or vital organso r tissuesin the human body. Modern
medicine has yet to find a remedy for this diabolical disease. It must be said to the discredit of modern civilisation that the more highly organised and artificial the state of society in a country, the more frequent is the occurrence of cancer.
