यो येन वेध्यते ग्रहस्तस्य वेधफलं स्मृतम्। वेधो हन्ति फलं तस्य गोचरस्य न संशयः॥
yo yena vedhyate grahas tasya vedha-phalaṁ smṛtam | vedho hanti phalaṁ tasya gocarasya na saṁśayaḥ ||
For the planet that is obstructed (vedha) by another, that obstruction's result is remembered; vedha surely destroys the transit effect of that planet — there is no doubt.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.2 : Malefics in 4th, 8th, 2nd, and 12th houses - Sickness ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 2
When malefic planets occupy the 4th, 8th, 2nd, and 12th houses, it causes sickness and death in 10 days. Multiple malefic placements cause severe health deterioration.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.3 : All planets weak in Apoklima houses - Sickness ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 3
When all planets are weak and positioned in the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th houses (Apoklima), the child lives for 2 months or 6 months. Weak planets in these houses cause chronic health issues.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.4 : 9th and 4th houses with malefics - Father's sickness ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 4
When 9th and 4th houses have malefic occupation and the Ascendant lord is weak, joining Mars or aspected by Mars, the child's father was sick at the time of birth. Father's health was compromised during conception/birth.

Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.8 : Jupiter in Moon's kendra ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 8
When Jupiter occupies Moon's kendra (angular house from Moon), Arishtayogas are overcome. Jupiter's aspect on Moon nullifies evil combinations.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.9 : Benefic planet with strength in angle ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 9
When a benefic planet with strength occupies an angle, it leads to nullification of Arishta yogas. Must not join the 8th Lord. Strong benefic in angle overcomes evil effects.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.11 : Moon or Ascendant aspected by all planets ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 11
When Moon or the Ascendant receives the aspect of all planets, evil yogas disappear as darkness does before the Sun. Single aspect of Jupiter on Moon is very effective. Complete planetary aspect nullifies all evil combinations.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.13 : Planet in exaltation sign ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 13
A planet in its exaltation sign indicates Arohini Dasa (approaching strength) where positive results are maximized and full effects are experienced throughout the period.
Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.14 : Planet in debilitation sign ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 14

Vedha (Transit Obstruction) Rules 23.15 : Planet in own sign ॥
horasara adhyaya 23 sloka 15
A planet in its own sign during Dasa period will be fully beneficial and provide strong positive results throughout the major period.
