Jeeva, Roga, Mrityu — The Three Outcomes in Prashna
The Five Sutras each return one of three values: Jeeva (life/yes/positive), Roga (delay/disease/mixed), or Mrityu (death/no/blocked). Together they paint the answer.
Jeeva — yes
- Movable signs in samanya often yield Jeeva.
- Lagna lord in Kendra strongly supports Jeeva.
- Vargottama in Amsaka is a clear Jeeva signal.
- Jupiter aspect frequently produces Jeeva.
Roga — delay/mixed
- Mixed sign types (one movable, one fixed) often produce Roga.
- Lagna lord weak but not in dusthana = Roga.
- Disease implication when health is the question.
- Suggests delay rather than denial.
Mrityu — no/denial
- Fixed sign with malefic Lagna lord.
- Lagna lord combust or in 8th, 12th.
- Multiple Mrityu sutras indicate strong denial.
- Use as warning to delay action, not to despair.
