One of the most important factors in the selection of Muhurta is the favourability of the 8th house. This factor, along with the recommendations and general rules of the Vara-Tithi-Nakshatra, was mentioned by the ancient seers.

The 8th house indicates the defect of Muhurta and the negative consequences associated with starting actions during this period. So, any planet located in the 8th house of the beginning of activity will show what unexpected events will accompany the started business. As a rule, a malefic Graha will indicate difficulties and unpleasant events, while benefics can bestow unexpected bonuses and gifts of fate.

Mercury is an adaptive Graha, he is an eternal child and student, and Lagna represent a person himself, they way the person thinks and behaves, and how his or her brain works.

In the natural zodiac, Mercury rules the 3rd (Gemini) and 6th (Virgo) house, forming a natural Dhimanta Yoga (combination of having knowledge).

But learning is not only about the possession of knowledge and information. This is the ability to adapt to surrounding circumstances, this is flexibility and quickness of thinking.

Together with the Digbala of Jupiter (truth, eternal knowledge, principles and ideals) in the first house, this allows one to intelligently adapt without betraying oneself and thereby maintaining one's own strength.

In addition, Digbala is associated with Muladhara (root) Chakra, which tells us that this is an important quality for survival, as well as the ability to distinguish: what is really good for one and what is bad.

Each of the twelve zodiacal signs is generated by one of the Adityas, where the last of the signs, Pisces, corresponds to the Aditya of Vishnu. Since the Lord is unlimited and in essence is the entirety of the world, beyond the limits of understanding and perception by our senses. He will be at the highest point of manifestation of Moksha-Trikona and will either grant freedom or deprive it.

If the Lagna lord is located in the 12th house, personal freedom will be very important for a person and he will strive to go beyond the limits of the familiar world. In the best sense of it, such a position can make a person spiritual and give an inclanation for meditation. In the worst case — to make a person run away through life, for example, from problems, from responsibility, etc.

Jupiter in the natural zodiac rules the 9th and 12th house.

The natural zodiac is known as Kalapurusha in Sanskrit — personified time, the manifest part of God, His form, which is available to our perception and comprehension.

Everyone knows that man is created in the likeness of God. Accordingly, just as each house from Lagna in an individual horoscope shows a certain part of the body (head, mouth and neck, arms and shoulders, chest, etc.), so each sign indicates the corresponding part of the body of God.

Beginning astrologers often make one common mistake — they consider planetary periods in isolation from transits, which is unacceptable. Jyotish is a multi-faceted diamond, where each facet is a piece of a mosaic, and the more such pieces we collect, the deeper the horoscope will reveal itself to us. Using the example of Princess Diana's chart, let's look at how periods (Dasa), transits (Gochara), and solar return chart (Varsha Pravesh or Varshaphala) produced a mix of unfavorable factors that led to her death in a car accident in August 1997.
