1- Saturn is producing Panoti being in the 4H from the Moon. This most malefic Saturn is making Panoti to the Ascendant, the Ascendant Lord, to the karaka of domestic life (Moon, karaka of 4H), to the 9H (including Venus placed therein) and to exalted Jupiter, the 9th Lord who is also karaka of the 9H, karaka of grace of guru, God and fate. So fate becomes weakened. 2- All manifestations, whatever one can imagine, can be found here in this world. But, we will get retributions according to our good or bad luck (one’s fate). Here, the 9th Lord and 9H karaka Jupiter is in Panoti yoga by Saturn being in the 4th to it and also afflicted by two malefic planets, Saturn and Mars. 3- Jupiter, the Lord of the 6H (enemy and quarrels) is in the Ascendant or Lagna and is exalted. This indicates that his enemy, Ravana, was strong and powerful in his ability and expertise in all fields. He was a Brahmin, spiritual, a well learned person who had knowledge of the four Vedas and had control over the 9 grahas (planets) – he was called Tri-Loka Swami as he had conquered all the Gods in heaven. Ravana (enemy), the great personality, was defeated because the 6th Lord is under Panoti yoga and is afflicted by 2 malefic planets, Saturn and Mars. Hence as soon as Sri Rama entered into the life of Ravana, the life of Ravana became a Panoti (Bad Luck Started for Ravana). 4- The Lord of the 6H (Rama’s step-mother who behaved as an enemy) Jupiter is strong, conjunct the Ascendant & under Panoti Yoga. It shows that his step-mother was powerful and dominating over the family and she became the cause (Panoti) of Rama’s unhappiness and exile to the forest. Most malefic Saturn is in the 4H (his own mother) and karaka of the 4H, Moon, is in Panoti yoga being afflicted by 2 malefic planets so, his own mother could not promote him for coronation. Due to Panoti Yoga acting from birth on all angles as shown above, his life was unfortunately full of struggles & hardships. One must understand that due to not knowing the exact date of birth it is not possible to find out the Base of Saturn whether Copper, Gold etc. in order to determine the exact result of Saturn but it is evident, from what has transpired of the life of Sri Rama, that this Saturn was not a benefic. One must also understand that Avatars (incarnations) of the Lord manifest for a specific purpose and we must not interpret them in terms of dualities like happiness/non happiness which is our human way of interpreting all things. We have interpreted Lord Rama’s horoscope only for the purpose of seeing things astrologically & to learn the grandeur of Panoti Yoga in Natal Chart. Chart 2: Silver base Panoti -Jimmy Page
