Effect with care whichever may become necessary of the six reductions in the Ayurdayas of the Sun and other planets in respect to their being affected by: (1) the presence of a malefic planet in the Lagna; (2) the loss of lustre owing to too great a proximity to the Sun; (3) occupation of an inimical sign; (4) arrival at the depression point; (5) conjunction with other planets; and (6) position in the 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th or 7th house from the Lagna. The reduced Ayurdayas of the planets if joined to the Lagnayus will give the proper Ayus in the aggregate.
