    Gulika and Mandi are invisible sub-planets in Vedic astrology that represent aspects of Saturn. Gulika is believed to have a malefic influence and slow things down. Ancient texts describe the effects of Gulika and Mandi in each astrological house. Generally, they produce negative health effects except in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses. Modern medical astrology still considers Gulika and Mandi's placement to understand potential health issues based on ancient interpretations.

    The passage discusses Gulika and Mandi, which are sub-planets related to Saturn in Vedic astrology. Gulika is described as an invisible planet that influences people in different ways based on the house it is placed in. Mandi is also discussed and its health impacts in each house are outlined.

    Gulika is an invisible sub-graha similar to Rahu-Ketu but with no mass. It is believed to be highly malefic and slow things down, hence names like 'slow' or 'miserable'. It is only visible to the psychic eye.

    The text lists the results of Gulika in each house, such as diseases with it in the 1st house, quarrelsome nature with it in the 2nd, and so on for each house based on ancient texts.

    Vedic Astrology - Maandi & Gulika

    Gulika is an 'invisible' sub-graha. Similar in density to Rahu-Ketu, Gulika has no mass and is therefore
    undetectable with the material eye. It is however vividly obvious to the psychic eye located in the Ajna
    chakra at the point between the two material eyes.
    Gulika is traditionally believed to be a highly malefic influence, which very much slows things down.
    Hence its moniker 'maanda' = 'slow', 'feeble', 'miserable' or 'weak'
    From BPHS:
    62. If Gulika is in the ascendant, the native will be afflicted by diseases, be lustful, sinful, crafty,
    wicked, and very miserable.
    63. If Gulika is in the 2nd, the native will be unsightly in appearance, miserable, mean, given to vices,
    shameless, and penniless.
    64. If Gulika is in the 3rd, the native will be charming in appearance, will head a village, be fond of
    virtuous men, and be honored by the king.
    65. If Gulika is in the 4th, the native will be sickly, devoid of happiness, sinful and afflicted due to
    windy and bilious excesses.
    66. If Gulika is in the 5th, the native will not be praiseworthy, be poor, short-lived, spiteful, mean, be
    a eunuch, be subdued by his wife and be a heterodox.
    67. If Gulika is in the 6th, the native will be devoid of enemies, be strong-bodied, splendorous, liked
    by his wife, enthusiastic, very friendly and helpful in disposition.
    68. If Gulika is in the 7th, the native will subdue to his spouse, be sinful, will go to others' females, be
    emaciated, devoid of friendship and will live on wife's (or a female's) wealth.
    69. If Gulika is in the 8th, the native will be troubled by hunger, be miserable, cruel, very much shorttempered, very unkind, poor and bereft of good qualities.
    70. If Gulika is in the 9th, the native will undergo many ordeals, by emaciated, will perform evil acts,
    be very unkind, sluggish, and be a tale-bearer.
    71. If Gulika is in the 10th, the native will be endowed with sons, be happy, will enjoy many things, be
    fond of worshipping gods and fire, and will practice meditation and religion.
    72. If Gulika is in the 11th, the native will enjoy women of class, be a leader of men, be helpful to his
    relatives, be short in stature, and be an emperor.
    73. If Gulika is in the 12th, the native will indulge in base deeds, be sinful, defective-limbed,
    unfortunate, indolent, and will join mean people.

    Ancient writers have not attached much significance to Gulika. Reference to this is mostly to be found
    in Tamil books on astrology. Maandi or Gulika plays an important part in the determination of lagna
    (in doubtful cases), maraka planets and also in finding out the probable period of death.
    Gulika in different bhavas gives the following results:
    1st Bhava - cruel, thief, devoid of modesty, voracious eater, deformed eye, irritable nature
    2nd - quarrelsome, will be poor, not true to his word, and devoid of all wealth
    3rd - ill-tempered, unsocial, ostentatious, devoid of brothers and sisters,
    4th - unfortunate and poor
    5th - fickle-minded, badly disposed
    6th - brave, versed in Kshudra Mantras and a terror to his foes
    7th- quarrelsome, loose morals, ungrateful
    8th - weak and impaired eyes,
    9th - unhappy on account of children and deserted by them
    10th - heterodoxical tendencies having no faith in religion, miserly
    11th - happiness, children, power, and plenty
    12th - poor, will have high expenditure, dislikes sexual pleasures
    The above is culled out from an ancient astrological work."
    ~~ B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology p. 97
