EVILS TO FATHER: One's father will incur early death if Saturn, Mars and the Moon in their order are in the ascendant, the 7th and the 6th. The native will at the time of his marriage lose his father if Jupiter is in the ascendant while Saturn, Sun, Mars and Mercury are together in the 2nd. Early loss of father will take place if the Sun is with a malefic or is hemmed between malefics, with another malefic in the 7th from the Sun. Remote will be the possibility of one's father sustaining if the Sun is in the 7th while Mars is in the 10th and Rāhu is in the 12th. Early and doubtless will be one's father's death if Mars is in the 10th identical with his enemy's sign.
