Classical Reference01
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 38, Sloka 22-23 (paraphrased):
When benefic planets occupy the 6th, 7th, and 8th houses from the Moon, the native becomes a king, minister, or commander of an army, and is blessed with prosperity, health, status, governmental recognition, and dominance over opponents. This is called Chandra Adhi Yoga.
