Ninth
Lost Articles
1. If there is a fixed sign, fixed Navamsha, or Vargothama Navamsha in the ascendant the article stolen is in the same place and surely a person known to the querist has stolen it. If there is a movable sign or Navamsha on the ascendant some external person has stolen it.
2. If there is a dual sign on the ascendant, some neighbour has stolen the article - thus it should be predicted. If a fixed sign rises the article is there itself. But if a movable sign rises, it has gone elswhere.
3. If a dual sign rises the stolen article has gone outside the house. The caste, colour, qualities and form of the the if will correspond to the nature of the strongest planet placed in the 7th house. If it is an odd sign there and there is under aspect of a male planet, the thief is a male otherwise a female.
4. From the Navamsha in which the ascendant falls, the nature of the lost article is judged. From the decanate rising, the form of the thief should be judged. From the rising sign, direction (where the theft has occurred), place and the time of theft are to be judged.
5. The ages of the planets the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Saturn are respectively those of : (1) suckling child 2) boy (3) celibate (HINDI) (4) young man (5) middle aged person (6) old man (7) and a very old man.
6. If the ascendant falls in the sign Leo, and the Sun and the Moon are placed therein, and if the same is aspected by Saturn and Mars the thief will be blind. If weak Moon is placed in the 12th house, his left eye will be blind and if the weak Sun is placed in the 12th house, his right eye will be blind.
7. If a malefic is placed in the 6th house in the limb represented by its sign or the Bhava where a malefic is placed injury is to be foretold. And whatever has been told by me at the time of birth regarding moles, marks and forms all that is to be suitably used here in this enquiry.
8. If the ascendant falls in the first decanate (0o to 10o) the article has been stolen. In second decanate, it indicates that the article has fallen somewhere. The third decanate, indicates that the person has kept the article somewhere and then forgotten. Thus it is to be guessed. Even if lost, it is within the house and has not gone out of the door when the third decanate rises.
9. The direction where the stolen article has gone is to be told from the planet placed in the quadrants. If it is not possible, the direction is to be told from the sign of the ascendant. The distance is to be told from the number of Navamsha elapsed, country from the 5th Navamsha in the lagna. This number will give the distance in Yojana. One yojana may be taken roughly as equal to a mile.
10. If there is Venus in the second house and Jupiter in the 12th house with a benefic in the ascendant the stolen article is got back. If the Moon is in the ascendant, it is got in the direction of the sign of the ascendant and if the Sun is in the direction it is got in the direction of the ascendant.
11. If there is full Moon in the ascendant or query or if there is a benefic in a Sirshodaya rasi aspected by a benefic or if there is a very strong benefic in the eleventh house, the lost article is got back quickly.
12. If there be a benefic in the second, third, or fourth house or if the same be in the fourth, seventh and the tenth houses, the stolen article is got back without any doubt.
13. If full Moon be posited in the ascendant and if is aspected by Jupiter or Venus or if benefics be placed in quadrants and upachayasthanas (3, 6 and 11) or if benefics be placed in the second and Upachayasthanas the stolen articles are got back.
14. If full Moon, Jupiter, Venus or Mercury is placed in the ascendant, the stolen article is got back. Or if benefics are placed in the seventh house, the stolen article is got back.
15. If there is a benefic in the 2nd or 3rd house from the ascendant or from the 4th house the stolen article is got back definitely.
16. If the ascendant of query falls on the sign of a malefic, aspected by a malefic the stolen article will not be got back. If on the ascendant there is a benefic, aspected by another benefic, the stolen article will be definitely got back.
17. If the 7th house falls in the sign Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius and these signs contain in their own Navamshas and if the 7th house is aspected by malefics the article will not be got back. Or if Mars is placed in the 8th house in these Navamshas, the lost article will not be got back.
