"Exchange Of Houses Or Sthan Parivartana Yoga In Vedic Jyotish" - An article written by Vishal Aksh

 Parivartana Yoga in Vedic jyotish is one of the strongest parts of grah sambandha or planetary relationship which comes under sthan sambandha and this sthansambandha is strongest among four great planetary relationships. For better understanding of parivartana it will be wise to know about four great planetary relationships and they are as below:

Four great planetary relationships:

1. Sthan sambandha which is of several types but the important ones are the house exchange and the conjunction of two planets occurring in any one of the signs owned by those two planets forming that conjunction so parivartana yoga comes under this planetary relationship. This type of planetary relationship gets sixty units of strength if shown numerically.
2. Drishti sambandha which is a mutual aspectual relationship between two or more planets. Minimum two planets or upagrah six signs apart from each other form this. If measured numerically then it gets forty five units of strength. If Saturn is fourth from Mars or Mars is in tenth from Saturn this type of planetary relationship is formed and if Rahu or Ketu is fifth or ninth from Jupiter then the same planetary relationship is formed.
3. Ekatra drishti sambandha occurs whenever the lord of the sign occupied by one or more planets aspects the planet or planets occurring in its ruled sign. Numerically it gets thirty units of strength. In cancellation of debilitation it works well.
4. Ekatra sthathi sambandha also known as yuti is the conjunction of two planets in any sign except in any of the signs owned by those two planets in conjunction. Numerically it gets fifteen units of strength.

Parivartana or exchange of houses occurs when the ruler of the sign occupied by a planet appears in the sign ruled by that planet which occupies the sign ruled by it. In jyotish a sign is also known as sthan which is different from bhava. The following are the seven planets ruling over the twelve signs as recommended in Vedic jyotish:

1. Sun rules sidereal Leo.
2. Moon rules sidereal Cancer.
3. Mars rules sidereal Aries & Scorpio respectively.
4. Mercury rules sidereal Gemini & Virgo respectively.
5. Jupiter rules sidereal Sagittarius & Pisces respectively.
6. Venus rules sidereal Taurus & Libra respectively.
7. Saturn rules sidereal Capricorn & Aquarius respectively.

So if Sun occupies Cancer and Moon occupies Leo then there will be parivartana between Sun & Moon. See the following two possibilities for better understandings:

1. If the sidereal ascendant is Cancer ruled by Moon and the parivartana occurs between Sun & Moon respectively then Sun becomes second lord so the parivartana is also said to be a parivartana between the lords of ascendant and that of second. If this combination occurs at the time of someone asking a query about money then it is excellent but if the query is about investment then it is not a favorable one.
2. If sidereal ascendant Leo ruled by the Sun with Moon in it and Sun occupies Cancer then this parivartana is also a parivartana between rising lord and twelfth lord. It is favorable at the time of query about investments but highly unfavorable at the time of query about financial incomings.

In this way the parivartana between other planets should be taken into account. The parivartana yoga should be considered in following charts:

• Rashi chart.
• Chalit chart.
• Dasha pravesh or the dasha commencement chart
• Horary chart.
• Varshphala or Vedic annual chart.
• Forward progressed & converse progressed charts
• The cyclic or labh hora, drashkan, chaturthansh, panchmansh, shasthansh, saptansh, ashtmansh, navansh, dashmansh, ekadashnah, dwadashansh, shodashansh, vinshansh, siddhansh, bhansh, trishansh, khavedansh, akshvedansh, shystyansh, naadi and sooksham naadi divisional charts in natal, horary, dasha pravesh and varshphala horoscopes.
• The parivartana in naadi (150th) or sooksham naadi (300th) charts many times does wonders.

In horary horoscope the parivartana between rising lord and the lord of house for which the query is being asked then it indicates grand success provided one of the lord forms seventh aspect with Moon it is a horary rajayoga. See the following for further understandings of parivartana in horary chart:

• If parivartana is between the rising lord and second lord then it favors the queries regarding the acquisition of money, delivering a speech, affairs relating to banks and wellbeing in family.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and third lord then it favors queries relating to writing letters or emails, writing books or documents, conversation on telephone or mobile, presentations, short journeys, affairs relating to post offices, affairs relating to railways and wellbeing of siblings.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and fourth lord then it favors queries regarding the acquisition of lands, buildings, flats and assets and their sale purchase, peace, wellbeing of mother, wellbeing of relatives, swimming, finding underground water source, agriculture and academy.
• If the parivartana is between the rising lord and that of fifth then it favors the queries regarding academy, well being of children, writing books of higher levels, philosophical outlook, knowledge, enlightenment, mantrajapa and Vedic deity to be worshiped to get success.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and that of sixth then it favors queries regarding the recovery of health, health issue, competitive success, relationship with maternal uncle, acquisition of camels, asses and other animals, accidents, fall from elevation, attacks from spirits and abhira or black magic.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and seventh lord then it favors queries regarding spouse, marriage, business, partnership and relationship between husband & wife.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and that of eighth then it favors queries regarding the completion of research, yogic practices, pranayam, occult, mysticism, metaphysic, gambling, caves, sea voyages, inheritance and death or death like conditions. If someone asks about his death then the astrologer should not reply to that and the same applies to queries about gambling.
• If the parivartana is between the rising lord and that of ninth then it favors queries regarding father, guru, bhakti, bhagya, teerth yatra or pilgrimages and long distance journeys.
• If the parivartana is between the rising lord and that of tenth then it favors queries regarding father, professional successes, respect, fame, political success and karmic success.
• If parivartana is between the rising lord and that of eleventh then it favors queries regarding gains, fulfillment of objectives and also unearned wealth.
• If the parivartana is between the rising lord and that of twelfth then it favors queries regarding investments, loss of money, charity, bed pleasures, moksha, devadosha, vedic deity to be worshiped to get success, charitable institutions, foreigners, strangers and secret foes.

The great Mantreswara in his Phaladeepika expanded the concept of parivartana given by the Vedic muni Parashara in a very detailed manner. According to him there are sixty six possible combinations of parivartana so on the basis of malefic and benefic nature of houses involved in parivartana categorized thirty types of malefic parivartana which he called them daineya yoga, eight types of mixed parivartana which he called Khala yoga and remaining twenty eighth types of benefic parivartana which he called them Maha yoga.

According to Vedic jyotish the twelfth, sixth and eighth are the malefic houses where twelfth is the least malefic whereas the eighth is the most so when the lord of these houses are involved in parivartana with the lords of other houses the three groups of daineya yoga are formed. See the following:

1. The first group parivartana belonging to dainey yoga results when the lord of twelfth house is in any of the remaining houses from first house to eleventh house and lord of that house where the lord of twelfth appears is in twelfth house. So in this case the possible parivartana are eleven.
2. The second group of parivartana belonging to daineya yoga results when the lord of the sixth house occupies any of the remaining houses except twelfth and the lord of the house where the sixth lord is placed occupies the sixth house. In this group the number of possible parivartana will be ten.
3. The third group of parivartana belonging to dainey yoga results when the lord of the eighth house occupies any of the remaining houses except twelfth and sixth and the lord of the house where the eighth lord is placed occupies the eighth house. In this group the number of possible parivartana will be nine.

Thus there are eleven types of parivartana of the first group, ten types of the second group and nine types of the third group or the total number of dainey yoga are thirty. The native born under dainey yoga is stupid, speaks unfair language, a sinner, victimized by his foes, he always distresses other by his speech and his mind is always unsteady. Any work performed by him results in failure.

When the lord of third house occupies any one of the remaining houses except twelfth, sixth and eighth houses and the lord of house where the lord of third is placed is in third house so this parivartana is called khala yoga so this fourth group of parivartana belonging to khala yoga contains eighth possible parivartana. The native born under khala yoga sometimes becomes arrogant and sometimes becomes polite, his life is full of successes and failures, sometimes he gets all round prosperity by the grace of his bhagya and sometimes he suffers on account of calamity, poverty and distress.

The fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth groups of parivartana are of maha yoga and they are as follow:

1. The fifth group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results when the rising lord occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth and the third and the lord of the house where the rising lord is placed occupies the rising sign or first house. These types of parivartana are seven in number.
2. The sixth group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results when the lord of the second house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third and first and the lord of the house where the lord of second is placed occupies the second house. These types of parivartana are six in number.
3. The seventh group of parivartana belonging to mahayoga results when the lord of the fourth house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third, first and second and the lord of the house where the lord of fourth is placed occupies the fourth house. These types of parivartana are five in number.
4. The eighth group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results when the lord of the fifth house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third, first, second and fourth and the lord of the house where the lord of fifth is placed occupies the fifth house. These types of parivartana are four in number.
5. The ninth group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results when the lord of the seventh house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third, first, second, fourth and fifth and the lord of the house where the lord of seventh is placed occupies the seventh house. These types of parivartana are three in number.
6. The tenth group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results when the lord of the ninth house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third, first, second, fourth, fifth and seventh and the lord of the house where the lord of ninth is placed occupies the ninth house. These types of parivartana are two in number.
7. The eleventh group of parivartana belonging to maha yoga results results when the lord of the tenth house occupies any house except twelfth, sixth, eighth, third, first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh and ninth and the lord of the house where the lord of tenth is placed occupies the tenth house or in other words you can say it is the parivartana between tenth and eleventh lords. This type of parivartana is only one in number.

It is clear that there are seven groups of maha yoga.

So there are twenty eight types of maha yoga. The native born under maha yoga is extremely rich, he has beautiful clothes of various colors, he wears gold ornaments, he is awarded by government and other officials of high ranks and he also possesses various vehicles.
