In the delineation of any house, it is the Bhava that is important and not the Rasi. The difference between the Rasi and Bhava is explained in my books on Mathematical Astrology*. The Navamsa is also equally important. The effects of the Navamsa during which a person happens to be born are supposed to influence all his activities throughout life, subject to modifications according to the aspects of planets situated at different piaces with reference to the Navamsa. It is the pivot on which the horoscope revolves. Consequently Hindu Astrology attaches the greatest importance to the Navamsa chart. Every combination mentioned should be applied to the Rasi, Bhava and Navamsa charts and then a conclusion drawn. Essentials of judgement have been described in my other works and it would be sheer waste of space if they were repeated here.
Judgment is the summing up of the influence of planets in a horoscope. Several elements are required for judging a horoscope, viz., (a) the house, (b) its lord, (c) its occupants, and (d) its Karaka or indicator. It must be noted that the functions of a lord are those of the house or houses owned by him. Apart from this, each lord has his own Karaka or inherent functions. For example, if we take the 7th house in a horoscope in which Aquarius is ascendant, the functions of the lord of the house, viz., the Sun are two-fold : the function house, due to ownership and the Karaka function, viz., governance over father. Judgment should therefore be based upon the (a) position of the house lord, (b) aspects and association of the house lord, (c) the yogas, etc., formed by the house lord and other modifications. This holds good in the Navamsa also. The celebrated Satyacharya opines that one's complexion, caste, physical appearance, mental characteristics, nature of birth, fame and defame, success, etc., should all be based on the strength or otherwise of the Lagna and the Karaka.
