Varshaphala (annual horoscopes) or Progressed Horoscopes are cast in Hindu astrology according to the Tajika System proposed by Kesava and Neelakantha, which allows the astrologer to foresee important occurrences. An yearly horoscope’s Lagna, or ascendant, is determined when the Sun, after completing a full circle of twelve rasis or zodiacal signs, returns to the same position it inhabited at the time of birth. Muntha, an imaginary mathematical point, plays a significant part in this prognostication method.
Muntha is the progressive ascendant, which starts at the birth-ascendant and travels one Rasi or Sign per year. It is calculated by multiplying the ascendant number (number denoting the particular sign) at the time of birth by the number of years between birth and the year for which the Progressed Annual Horoscope is calculated, dividing the result by 12, and rejecting the quotient. It has something to do with the birth chart. After 12 years in a continuous cycle, it will occupy the same sign as the ascendant.
Muntha, whose degree is the same as the birth-ascendant, produces extremely good results when it is in the 9th, 10th, or 11th house from the annual-ascendant, favourable results when it is in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 5th house, but merely negative results when it is in the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house. When malefic planets, especially Ketu, are aspected or connected to Muntha, unpleasant things happen. When the Muntha-lord, the lord of the sign occupied by Muntha, is in the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or 12th, awful things happen.
Malefic planets in an unfavorable aspect with Muntha cause illness, and if they are in an unfavorable house, the associated negative effects are amplified. When the house occupied by Muntha’s possessor is in Ithsala yoga, however, the positive signs of the house become more obvious. Standard astrological works dealing with the Tajika system detail the consequences for Muntha occupying variously the 12 houses and/or aspected or joined by any of the nine planets. Its link to Rahu, on the other hand, is extraordinary. There will be access to wealth, fame, and other benefits if Muntha is in the face of Rahu; nevertheless, if it is in the hind portion of Rahu, there will be fear of adversaries and difficulties all-around; and if the same Rahu is in the lagna, there will be financial difficulties and loss of fortune. Muntha’s association with Jupiter, Venus, or both brings him advancement and fortune. If the Muntha-lord is associated with or aspected by the afflicted lord of the 8th, or if the sign rising in the birth-ascendant falls on the 8th house devoid of benefic influences, death or a very critical period in life is indicated; however, if the Muntha-lord, unafflicted, occupies the sign held by Muntha, auspicious results occur both at the beginning and at the end of the year concerned.
In astrology, what is Muntha in the 8th house?
