Bhava Karakatwa

• Food, valour, brothers/sisters, leadership/captaincy, lustre and right ear --- have all to be delineated from the third house.

Brothers/Sisters

• if lord of 3rd stands in 10th in conjunction with lord of 8th, there will be growth of brothers/sisters.
• if lord of 3rd stands in 11th in conjunction with lord of 5th, brothers will be born first and sisters thereafter.
• if lord of 3rd is in conjunction with lord of 5th & lord of 8th, brothers will be born first and sisters later.
• Natives having lord of 3rd or Mars in exaltation/own house or friendly sign or in Asdt which happens to Aries/Scorpio, will have brother & sisters.
• Venus in 3rd, lord of 3rd in quadrants and at the same time Mars is conjunct Saturn, the native will have only one elder brother.
• Number of brothers/sisters a native will have, will be equal to the number of navamsas attained either by Mars, lord of 3rd, OR 3rd bhava itself.
• Benefics in 3rd and at the same time the lord of 3rd is in quadrant/trine with conjunction/aspect of benefic(s) will ensure a good number of brothers/sisters.

Good number of brothers/sisters

• if lord of 3rd has attained vargothamamsa, and is in quadrant/trine in conjunction with or aspected by benefic(s0
• if lord of 3rd stays in a benefic sign, his navamsa falling in a benefic sign.
• if lord of 3rd is exalted and Karaka for 3rd (Mars) is in quadrant/trine with conjunction/aspect of benefic(s).

Brothers/Sisters

• if Sun happens to be the lord of 3rd and is conjunct with lord of quadrant therefrom, it should be noted that the native is the second son.
• if Moon happens to be the lord of 3rd and is posited in 7th or exaltation, it should be noted that the native is the second son.
• Lord of 3 in quadrants and exalted Mars in trine in the company of Jupiter will result in the native having 12 brothers/sisters.
• Mars in company of Rahu and the lord of 3 in debilitation will result in the native 3 elder brothers/sisters.

More Brothers Less Sisters

• if both Mars and the lord of 3rd are in masculine signs/navamsas.
• if both Mars and the lord of 3rd stay in Gemini/Virgo with conjunction/aspect of Jupiter and Sun.
• Sun stays in the 3rd.

More Sisters

• if Mars and lord of 3rd as also the 3rd house occupying/falling in feminine signs and occupy feminine navamsas too, the native will have more sisters than brothers; however, if they occupy feminine signs Napumsaka (eunuch) navamsa namely Gemini,Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius, the native will have only sisters and no brothers.

Loss of Brother/Sister

• There will be loss of brothers/sisters if both lord of 3 and Mars stay in 6/8/12; but if they stay in malefic signs other than 6/8/12, then there will be loss of brother/sister younger to the native.
• There will be sure loss of brothers/sisters if lord of 3 is debilitated and there are malefics in the 3rd at the same time, and there is absence of benefic aspect/conjunction to the 3rd houseand lord of 3.
• if lord of 3 happens to be a feminine planet and stays in a feminine sign or in a sign in the invisible half of the horizon, Asdt to 7th via 4th, with conjunction/aspect of a malefic, birth of younger brothers/sisters will be unsatisfactory.
• if lord of Asdt and 3rd are in conjunction or have mutual aspect or exchange of signs of between them, there will be very good brotherly affinity during the entire life time of the native.
• Conjunction of lord 3 and 4 in the 4th house with malefic aspect, will result in the native having no siblings.
• if lords of 3, 4 and Mars stay in 3rd and if at the same time that sign happens to be exaltation for one of them, there will birth of brothers.
• Rahu or Saturn in 3rd and the lord of 3 in 6/8/12, will result in the native having no siblings.
• Lord of 3 in invisible half of the horizon, in a masculine sign, and Mars in a malefic sign indicates negligible number of brothers.
• Even if there is aspect/conjunction of Jupiter to the 3rd house in addition to other benefic aspects, the mere presence of a malefic in 3rd, is enough indication that there will be loss of brothers/sisters.

Brothers - Music

• During the Major period and sub-periods of the lords of 3rd,planets aspecting 3rd, planets posited in the 3rd, and Mars, depending on the strength of these planets, brothers will be prospering and there will be happiness as far as ears are concerned, enjoying music, listening to Hari Katha &c.

Reputation

• if all planets stand in the 3rd, the native would be kind hearted, very rich and would attain worldwide fame or become a sage.

Ornaments

• if lord of 3rd gets into 10th or stands in conjunction/aspected by benefics or stays in other favourable signs in conjunction with benefic(s), the native will enjoy wearing costly ornaments.
• if Venus stays in a benefic sign with conjunction/aspect of benefic(s), the native enjoy ornaments and paraphernalia.

Weakling

• if lord 3rd, planets aspecting 3rd, planets posited in 3rd and Mars - if all these four are of mediocre strength, the native will become a weakling.

Defeat
