Avoidable lagnas are known as thyajaya lagnas. These
are:
i. The first navamsa of any sign on Wednesday and Saturday, the middle navamsa on Monday and Friday and the last navamsa on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
ii. In Aries, Taurus, Sagittarius and Virgo, the first three degrees should be avoided as it is in the nature of a serpent (bhujanga) and hence destructive. In regard to Pisces, Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio, the last three-degree be avoided as these are presided over by the evil force of Rahu. The middle half ghati (13° 30' to 16° 30') should be rejected with regard to Gemini, Libra, Leo and Aquarius as an evil force termed Gridhra rules it.
iii. a. Bhadhira (deaf) lagnas are Libra, Scorpio during day time, Capricorn, Sagittarius during night time. Marriage in these lagnas brings poverty.
b. Andha (blind) is Leo, Aries, and Taurus during daytime and Virgo, Gemini, Cancer during night time. Marriage in daytime andha lagnas gives widowhood and in night andha lagnas cause death of issues.
c. Pangu (lame) lagna is Aquarius during daytime and Pisces in nighttime. Marriage in these lagnas causes destruction of wealth.
However, these doshas get cancelled if Jupiter aspects lagna or lagnesh. Note: There is another view that sign number 7, 8, 9 are deaf in the afternoon, 3,4,6, in the andha in night, 1,2,5 are andha in day and 10,11,12 are pangu during sandhya.
iii. 'Graha shuddhi for marriage (suitability of the planets). The solemnising of marriage is auspicious when Jupiter is shuddha for the bride, when Sun is
shuddha for the groom and Moon is shuddha for both. The position of Jupiter in a benefic house from the 'janama rasV of the girl is called 'guru shuddhf (or favourable position of
Jupiter); and the position of the Sun in a benefic house from the janama rasV of the boy is called lravi shuddhi' the position of the Moon in a benefic house from the 'janama rasV of
both is called as ' chandra shuddhf.
