  The dialectics of Uttara Kalamrita

  The Uttara Kalamrita by Kalidasa is a lovely astrological treatise. We
give
  the translation of some verses from the Uttara Kalamrita

  For Jove,Indian Astronomy & Astrology  Articles the lordship of 3rd and 12th is good. Only for Capricorn does he
  own the 3 and 12 houses.

  Benevolent becomes Jupiter
  When he becomes the 12th and 3rd lord
  Also when Jove owns
  8th House, being posited in the 8th !
  (Only for Leo and Taurus Ascendants )
  Venus in the Sixth House is excellent
  As he aspects the hedonistic 12th !
  7,4,9,10 & 11 good for North Node
  And 3rd House is best for South Node !
  For benefics Venus Jupiter Moon
  Angles and triangles are good
  Also Second, 11th and 6th
  For malefics Mars Sun Saturn Ketu
  3 6 10 11 are best
  For Sun and Saturn the 9th
  Mercury in the House Eighth !
  Saturn in own house, exaltation
  Or in the Signs of Jupiter
  Is good, be he in House First !
  Venus in the 12th is excellent
  Is the bestower of wealth
  Should not be in Saturnine Signs !

  Combinations for Wealth Yoga

  Wealth Yoga is formed thus
  The lords of 2,5,9,11
  Are the lords who rule Wealth
  The lord of Second signify accumulated wealth
  The lord of Fifth is a Lakshmi planet
  The lord of Ninth is the lord of fortune
  The lord of Eleventh rules gains
  If these lords four
  Form associations between themselves
  By conjunction or by aspects
  Or by constellational interchange
  Wealth Yoga is formed !
  Contrarily, the lords of 6,8,12
  Create ruin and destruction in their reign !
  Diseases galore and debts unwanted
  Also fear of enemies powerful !

  The Eighteen Astronomical Treatises of Indian Astronomy !

  Of all the eighteen astronomical treatises
  Aryabhateeyam is extolled
  Also Mahabhaskareeyam
  These treatises deal with computation
  Of planet's longitudes !
  Longitude corrected thrice
  To get the true longitudes
  Mahabhaskareeya talks about
  The eight motions of planets
  Direct or retrograde
  Retrogression is Vakra
  Ativakra is maximum Retrogression
  End of Retrogression is Kutila
  Slow motion is Manda
  Slower motion is Mandatara
  Mean motion is Sama
  Fast motion is Sheegra
  And faster motion is Sheegratara !
