To Judge The Character Of Relatives

To judge the character of the father:

1. See as if 10th were the lagna;
   
2. see the combination with, and placement of, the sun;
   
3. see as if the 9th were the Lagna
   
4. see the combination with, and the placement of, the 10th lord
   

In general, of the 10th lord and the sun, the one which would be more powerful, would rule the father. So in that case, it would do better if you judge the chart as if the sun were the lagna.

1. Example
   
   Date: May 5, 1982
   Time: 19:55:00
   Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT)
   Place: 88 E 29' 00", 22 N 59' 00" (Kalyani, India)
   Female native.
   
   Of this native, the father is a defence auditor. To see how, note that from the 10th, mercury is in the 10th. Again, from the sun, the 10th lord is in the sign Virgo, a mercurious one, with mars (defence). A word of wisdom : the 6th house signifies routine work, calculation etc. So, 10th lord in 6th with mars, without Jupiterian influence, may lead one to become a defence auditor, as is in this case.
   
   
2. Example
   
   Female native
   
   Date: October 28, 1991
   Time: 12:49:00
   Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT)
   Place: 88 E 22' 00", 22 N 34' 00"
   Calcutta, India
   
   Of this native, the father is a very extrovert, noble man who traversed many places of the country and enjoyed myriads of jobs, never to stick to a single job for many days. As is obvious from the chart, the 10th from natives chart contains mars, mercury and sun, and 3rd from the 10th contains Rahu + Uranus + Neptune, which justifies the flickering mindedness of the father. If you take the 9th for the father, a moon in Rahu Nakshatra justifies changes in job.
