Analysis of Markesha in Kundali
In order to analyse Markesha in Kundali, we have to primarily study second, seventh, twelfth and eighth house. The eighth house in your Kundali is used to analyse longevity. According to Raghu Parashari, the third house in your Kundali is also used to study longevity. This is because third house is eighth from eighth house. In other words, House of Longevity is third from Ascendant and eighth from eighth. The seventh and second houses are called the Houses of Death. They are Marak houses. Second house is considered to be a strong Marak house. Twelfth house is the House of Expenses. It is associated with losses, diseases and lack in physical strength. Twelfth house is used to analyse ailments. Hence, it is also used to study the twelfth house.
During Markesha’s Dasha, you need to be very careful. This is because you may experience a lot of mental and physical problems during this period. During Markesha’s Dasha, you may experience accidents, ailments, stress, disgrace and other such problems. Every person experiences Dasha, Antardasha or Pratyantar Dasha of Markesha planets. However, one does not need to worry about it. In fact, you should try to control yourself and stay determined during this period. You should be careful while performing every task.
The Lords of eighth house and Ascendant are not malefic. When Mars and Venus are Lords of eighth house, they are not malefic. If Jupiter or Venus is the Lord of seventh house, it becomes a strong Marak. Mercury and Moon are considered to be the least powerful Marak planets. Among the three Marak planets, the malefic planet with Lord of twelfth house is more powerful than the malefic planet with Lord of seventh house. At times, the Lord of twelfth house and malefic planets with it and the Lord of eleventh house can become Markesha. Markesha in second house are more powerful than Markesha in seventh house. Besides this, it is more important to study malefic planets which are present with Markesha planets.
Different people are affected by different Markesha planets in their Kundali. It is important to understand that Sun and Moon don’t suffer from Markesha Dosha. For Aries Ascendant, Venus does not act as a Markesha even after being an actual Markesha planet. However, it becomes dangerous when it is with Saturn. For Taurus Ascendant, Jupiter is inauspicious. For Gemini Ascendant, Mars and Jupiter are inauspicious. Venus is inauspicious for Cancer Ascendant. For Leo Ascendant, Saturn and Mercury are inauspicious. Mars is inauspicious for Virgo Ascendant. Similarly, Mars, Jupiter and Sun are inauspicious for Libra Ascendant.
For Scorpio Ascendant, Mercury is inauspicious. Saturn and Venus are inauspicious for Sagittarius Ascendant. For Capricorn Ascendant Mars is inauspicious. Jupiter and Mars are inauspicious for Aquarius Ascendant. While, Saturn and Mars are inauspicious for Pisces Ascendant. Rahu and Ketu also act as Markesha planets in sixth, eighth and twelfth house.
It is not necessary that Markesha will be the reason for death. However, it may cause problems similar to death-like conditions. Besides this, planets present with Markesha planets may be the reason for death. It is important to analyse the strength of a Markesha planet. Sometimes, in the absence of Markesha planets, Dashas of some planets can act as Markesha. For a better understanding, it is important to study Markesha planets with respect to Lunar Ascendant. For this, you need to consider the house and sign in which Moon is present to be Ascendant. The Lord of houses mentioned above and the signs in these houses are considered to be Markesha.
