Jaimini Longevity Check — Method of Three Pairs

Parameter I: Disposition of Lagna Lord and Eighth Lord

Lagna Lord Mars falls in a Movable Sign Libra

Eight Lord Mercury falls in a Dual Sign Sagittarius

Lagna Lord + Eighth Lord = Movable + Dual = SHORT LIFE

Parameter 2: Disposition of Lagna and Moon

Lagna falls in a fixed Sign

Moon falls in a fixed Sign

Lagna + Moon = Fixed + Fixed = SHORT LIFE

Parameter 3: Disposition of Lagna and Hora Lagna

Lagna falls in a Fixed Sign

Hora Lagna falls in a Fixed Sign

Lagna + Hora Lagna = Fixed + Fixed = SHORT LIFE

Clearly all 3 Parameters indicate short life per the Jaimini method of 3 Pairs

Dasha AntaraDasha Running during Death

Per Vimshottari: Rahu-Moon-Venus and

Per Chara Dasha : Gemini-Pisces-Taurus

Static Potentials for Misfortune/Arishta Seen in the Chart

1 Lagna Lord placed in the Trik/Dushtaana Houses 6,8,12. Notice that Mars is the lagna lord relegated to the 12th house of isolation and loneliness.

2. Lagna and/or Lagna Lord afflicted by natural malefics without the aspect of natural benefics. Notice that Lagna Lord Mars is along the Rahu Ketu axis additionally hemmed in between Saturn and Ketu.

3. No natural benefics in Kendras to cause a cancellation of Arishta. You only see Saturn and Moon in Kendras. Although Moon is waxing, it is afflicted and has malefic influence. It did not act as a saving grace.

4. No natural malefics in Upachaya houses to fight Misfortunes.

5. Additionally notice that the Lagna is hemmed by the Eight Lord Mercury and the Sixth Lord Mars.

6. Even if we were to take the exact Lagna degree into consideration for Papa Kartari , you will notice that Lagna is hemmed in between Saturn and Mars.

Vimshottari Dasha Analysis of the Rahu Moon Venus period

Rahu is in the 6th house of the birth chart thereby giving the results of the strongest house lords it is associated with. Note that Rahu receives the drishti of Mars the 6th Lord from the 12th house of isolation.

Rahu is in the Nakshatra of Ashwini ruled by Moksha Karaka Ketu which signifies suicides and isolation. From a strong Chandra Lagna (Exalted Moon) , Rahu is again in the 12th house of isolation

Moon the sub period lord is in the Maraka 7th house afflicted by Mars as the 6th lord of obstacles and injuries. It is evident that Moon acted as a Primary Maraka AD Lord in his case.

Do you also notice that the Moon is forming a KemaDruma Yoga ?

Per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, natural benefics in the Maraka sthana act as strong Marakas. Indeed Moon is waxing and hence benefic qualifying as a strong primary Maraka AntaraDasha Lord. Note that Moon is also the Maraka Lord from the Karaka Venus. This is indicative that the suicide could have resulted as a result of relationship matters.

PratyantaraDasha Lord Venus is the Maraka 7th Lord and 12th Lord of Isolation and Punishments. From the Chandra Lagna, Venus is also the 6th Lord of obstacles. The Dasha AntaraDasha lords line up to create a cumulative Maraka effect in my opinion. Rahu (6L) — Moon (Maraka placed in 7th) — Venus (Maraka 7th Lord).

In the Trimshamsha Chart (D30), 8th house is afflicted by Saturn , Rahu and Ketu with no influence of natural benefics. He was running the Dasha of Rahu in the 8th house and PratyantaraDasha of Venus debilitated in the D30 chart.

Notice that in the D9 Navamsha Chart — Rahu the MDL is in the 12th, Moon and Venus the AD and PAD lords are in the 8th.

A Quote from the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra :

Although the above shlokha defines the condition when Moon is the lord of the 2nd or the 7th house fro the Dasha Lord Rahu — we can extend this in the chart, since Moon is in the 2nd house from the Dasha Lord creating a similar maraka effect. BPHS clearly says the period may cause premature dead which was true.

Does Chara Dasha Justify ?

Gemini Mahadasha Sign

Sushant Singh Rajput died in the dasha of the sign Gemini falling in the 8th house of hidden mysteries.

Pisces the AntaraDasha sign is aspected by a Vargottama strong Mercury the 8th Lord through Rasi Drishti

Moon the significator of Mind falls in the 12th house from Dasha sign Gemini indicating a combination of a Jaimini Arishta Yoga.

The Karakamsha Lagna falls in Sagittarius since Mercury is the Vargottama AtmaKaraka. From the Karakamsha Lagna, Gemini is the 7th Maraka Sign. Did you also notice that Gemini is the Maraka Station from the Moon ?

Also observe that his Arudha Lagna which represents his image or reflection in the world is also aspected by Mercury the 8th lord of mysteries. Mercury is the Karaka for social media. No doubt his mystery went viral !!

Pisces AntaraDasha Sign

Pisces is again aspected by Mercury the 8th Lord through Rasi Drishti

Note that Pisces contains A8 which is the Arudha Padha of the 8th house of mysteries and accidents. Dasha of signs falling in 6 8 12 or signs that contain the arudhas of 6 8 12 can cause an Arishta Yoga.

Taurus PratyantaraDasha Sign

He died in the Pratyantara Dasha of Taurus. Taurus is the Maraka 7th sign aspected by Gnati Karaka GK that signifies the 6th house of obstacles.

Taurus the PAD sign is also aspected by two natural malefics Mars and Ketu through Rasi Drishti. Mars indicates violence and aggression and Ketu is the Karaka of loneliness, Moksha and even suicide. Finally Taurus also falls in the 6th from the Karakamsha Lagna.

Inferences and Observations.

Although this is an analysis in retrospection — I would like to highlight here that ignoring the Method of Three pairs could lead us to missing some key information pertaining to longevity that the horoscope reveals. It is also imperative to watch the role of Marakas not from a Parashari standpoint but from a Jaimini’s perspective too. The static potentials of Arishta highlighted also clearly indicates short life. Transits are not discussed here because anything that the Dasha AntaraDasha does not promise cannot be delivered by the transits.
