From my Guruji Sh. A. B. Shuklaji
Meaning:
A man must continuously endeavor to elevate himself and not disgrace himself. The man himself is the friend of his own self (soul) and his enemy as well.
Let’s connect this with astrology. Please understand this concept “One is friend and foe of himself by his inner hidden self”. That is, it can be seen in the horoscope if a house lord is getting strength from its inner hidden self i.e. (1) its dispositer, (2) its nakshatra lord and (3) most important of all, its Navamshesh.
There are two clear astrological messages from this shloka:
First: Always do something to strengthen the ascendant lord (being the most important for an individual)
Second: Know from where the ascendant lord (or any other house lord) is drawing strength from.
There are three fold methods to know that:
1. Ascendant lord (Lagna lord or LL) drawing strength in D1 chart based on its dispositer. Friendly equation between two (LL and disposter) would mean that the LL is gaining strength from its dispositer. Unfriendly equation would mean weakening of LL. Same method is applied to ascertain the strength of all bhava lords.
2. Ascendant lord drawing strength from nakshatra lord of LL. Check the relation between LL and its nakshatra lord in D1. Friendly equation between two (LL and its nakshatra lord) means the LL is gaining strength from nakshatra lord. Unfriendly equation would mean weakening of LL. Same method is applied to ascertain the strength of all bhava lords.
3. (This is the most important method because this tells about the hidden strength most. A new term has been coined by our Guruji i.e. UAA principle or Udhdharet Aatmna Aatmaanam principle) Check the lord of sign in which LL is placed in D9 (i.e. navamshesh). Then check the mutual placement of that navmshsesh with LL in D1. Friendly equation between two means the LL is gaining strength due to that planet. Unfriendly equation would mean weakening of LL. Same method is applied to ascertain the strength of all bhava lords.
This is explained in examples given below.
For LL:
Rule 1: LL is Mercury and is in Cancer. Its dispositer is Moon in Scorpio. The elation between two is 5:9 which is good.
Rule 2: Mercury is in Ashlesha whose lord is Mercury making 1:1 relationship so good.
Rule 3 (the most important being the hidden strength also named UAA principle): Mercury is in Capricorn in D9. So navamshesh becomes Saturn. Come back to D1. In D1, Saturn is exalted and is in 4th from Mercury thus making 4:10 relationship which is good. So Mercury is drawing strength from Saturn who is well placed, aspecting back Mercury hence Mercury is gaining good hidden support from Saturn.
Lets see “Sun” now in this horoscope:
Rule 3 (UAA principle): Sun is in sign of Mercury (navamshesh). In D1, Sun and Mercury are 2:12. Hence, by this principle, Sun is not getting support from navmshesh (the hidden strength) hence getting weakend.
