Introduction

In

human

life,

the birth

of children occupies a

very prominent

place. The parents

find

their own

image

n

heir

children

nd

ee he progression

of

heir

ineage

hough

he

uture

of

heir

children.

The

mother

has

to

pass

through

nine

months

of grooming

of

the

infant,

with

all

it

takes,

which

a

mother

can

better understand and the

results are

still

uncertain. Many

of

them

are

born

still,

many of them are born

with

incapability

and

many get eradicated from their very start of

journey.

Every thing

has

a

very

profound

impact on the parents and their future.

Prognosticating

he

sex

of

he

unborn

child

has

been

a matter

of

concern

n

he

ecent years,

where

the

foetus

are

killed when

they

are

substantially

grown and had their

identity

as

a

human

child

inside

the

womb.

If

the

sex of

the

child

is

not what the parents want, hey

were brutally

extricated.

Thanks

o

he

medical

science

hat

t

can't

say

anything

about

he

sex

of

he

child

before

it

grows

up

substantially

and

help

the

parents

to

decide

in

advance

whether

or

not

to

have

a

baby.

This

is where

Jyotish

comes

to

rescue.

Because

it

can

see the path much ahead of the time,

it

can

forewarn

the parents about the future

possibilities

and help

them in

making

a

conscious

decision.

The

more

important

thing

of

all

is that

Jyotish

can

give

remedies, when

it

judges

the

possibilities

are

more negative than

positive.

Such remedies not only eradicate the root of the problem,

but

also prepare the

parents

to

boldly face the

impending

dangers.

In he forthcoming portions,

we

shall study, how

o

prognosticating

he birth and ife of he

children

and

the

remedies

to

address

the

impending difficulties and

danger

to

the

parents

and

child.

If

the lord of

the

5

in

the Rasi

chart

is placed

with Mercury,

Venus or

Saturn,

here

is

problem is

these

the

key

thus

he proaeation.

f they

are badly

placed,

being

afflicted,

or

placed

in

the

Maraka

Sthana

in

the

Saptamsa,

this

can

show

problem

or

denial

of

progeny

Strong

nfluences

of the

fiery

element

(Mars,

Sun)

on the

fifth

house.

This

can happen

due

to

conjunction,

aspect

of

parivartana

of

the

5

house

/

lord.

This

can

be

overcome

by

increasing

the

dominance

of Jala Tattva on

the

5

.

(COVA,

Page

Jaimini

Says

Sun,

Lack

The method f

Deha

given

by Maharishi aimini

n Upadesha utra

s nfallible n

predicting the

or

proaeative

ability

of the

native.

Pt.

Rath explains

this

n

the

following

words-

"This

method

is

based

on th e

Rasi

chart. Determine

the arudha padas

of

the

he Lagna and th e Sun.

The arudha padas of the

constitute th e

ability to sustain

he At m a (soul-

signified by Sun) in

he

form of

Sperm

(i.e.,

he

sperms should have life in

them).

The

arudha

padas

of

the third and ninth from

the Lagna

(A 3

and

constitute

th e

physical

ability

to

procreate.

If

and

not

f

th e

Mercury, Saturn

and

/ or

Venus

in the

trines

to

the saptamsa Lagna tend to

deny children

(J.S. 1.4.24).Mercury and

Saturn

are

eunuch planets and

in

saptamsa Lagna

deny

fertility.

Venus,

on

the

other hand

causes

association

with

too

many

thereby

depleting

the

chances

for

progeny.

However

If

both

planets giving

children

(Sun, Rahu,

Jupiter and Moon) and

those

denying

children

Mercury,

Saturn

and Venus)

are

present,

a

child

will be

born

after some

delay. (J.S.

Stressing

th e

point Pt.

Rath

says

in

COVA

(page

175)

that,

if Saturn,

Venus

and

Mercury

are in

trines

alone",

hen

he

is

barren

rrespective

of

all

Rath,

J.S.)

Mars's

and

Saturn's

nfluence

on

the

trine to

the

Saptamsa

Lagna show

that the native

will

have

Adopted

. Pt. Rath says.

Mars

and

Saturn are

karaka

for

the

younger

and

elder

brother

respectively

and

could

indicate begetting

a

child

a

kinsman

a

who

already

a

pervious

wedlock.

Denial of Children

due

to Curses (COVA, Page

172)

The

enial

of

children

could

be ue

o

urses

ncurred

n

he ast

birth.

These

have

been

elaborately listed in BPHS

along

with

the remedial measures

and

include Brahma

Shapa

(curse

of

priest

/

astrologer),

pitri

Shapa

(curse

of

father

or

elderly

paternal

elative),

Matri

Shapa

(Curse

or mother or someone

from

mother's family), Shatru Shapa

(Curse

of

enemies)

etc. Let us

examine

the

Brahma

Shapa

to

understand

the

underlying

principles.

The

conditions

for

this

curse

are

as follows:

a.

ahu

in the signs of

Jupiter: Rahu represent the

curses

of

past

birth

and

is

hence

a

karmic

control

planet. In the

signs

of Jupiter

it shows the curse

due

to priest, judge,

astrologer or all persons

signified

by Jupiter.

ebilitated

Capricorn

by Saturn

and

marana

Mars. These

planets

aspecting

Jupiter can

block

it to the

extent

of

denying

or

(Saturn)

he fruits of Jupiter,

Children.

Simultaneously,

with

Malefics:

Jupiter,

he

th

lord:

The

6

th

house

being

the 2

nd

from

the house of children,

lh

, is maraka for

children.

So the placement of the

marakesh,

sixth

lord

in

the house

of children,

with

Jupiter

(already

showing

oss),

will constitute a

curse

from

a

Brahmin

due

to anger

or

enmity

(shown

by

6

lh

lord's

involvement).

These

curses

occur in

any

trine.

If in

house,

hey afflict the

and

of th e

native

and if

in

the

Lagna,

they afflict th e

name and

life of

th e

native.

Number of children

1. he

number of children

can

be

found

out

by

counting

he

Navamsa gained by

he

lh

lord.

For e.g.,

he

5

th

lord

is

placed in

Virgo

Rasi and

Gemini

Navamsa.

Counting from

Gemini

(Navamsa)

to Virgo

Rasi [Virgo (6 ) - Gemini (3 ) =

we

have

four

signs, .e.,

he

5

th

lord

has

to

gain

hree Navamsas to

each

Virgo

or

upto

hree children

hould be anticipated

COVA- Page

190). This

is

however

a

crude

method

can can

be

used with

extreme

care.

Ft. Rath

says

that,

for

this

method to

work,

th e

5

th

lord

should

be placed with

th e Jupiter (K araka

for

Navamsa).

However,

from

an

illustration

given in Page 200

of

COVA, we see

that this

is

not

a

necessary condition.

Here Mars

is

not

associated

or

aspected

by

Jupiter,

but

th e

Lagna

is

aspected

by

Jupiter

from the 7"',

hrough

Rasi

and Graha

Drsti both. Here

we

might conclude that

for

this

method to

work,

Jupiter

should

be

strongly

placed

in the

horoscope

and influence

the

factors

of

Riders

The

number of children is limited by the

Rahu

placed in the

D-l, to eliminate all the putra Dosas.

(COVA,

Page

184)

Birth of Twins:

The

signs

Aquarius

and Scorpio have two lords each and

hence

if

they

happen

to

be the house of

child/ pregnancy, they

can indicate twins.

Most

standard

texts prescribe the involvement of

the Signs Gemini, Virgo,

Scorpio or Aquarius

for the birth of the twins.

Illustration:

In the chart of the standard nativity, the 5

lh

lord Moon is in

Aquarius Rasi

and

Pisces Navamsa,

which

shows

that

there

are possibilities

of

11

children,

however

while

we

count

from

Pisces we

have

to

stop

in

Taurus,

because

Gemini

is

occupied by

a node.

Thus the maximum no.

of

children

is

limited

to

2

only

shown

by

the

signs Aries

and

Taurus.

Lets go

to

Saptamsa

for

more

details.

I

s

' child: he Saptamsa

Lagna

is

in

an

Odd sign and

hence

the

counting

shall

be

in

a

zodiacal

manner.

The

child is

shown by

the

5

lh

lord Mars,

placed in

Gemini

with Moon

and

Ketu.

2

The 2

shown by the

Mercury.

Mercury is

Due

o

he

exchange

of

planets,

t indicate male

Its

worthwhile to note

that

the

6

lh

lord,

he maraka is

aspecting

Mercury,

showing

that

the child

shall

face

terrible

condition

and

can

face death. However, due

to

Graha

Dristi

of Jupiter on Mercury

and

Rasi Drsti

on

the

Lagna, the

child is

saved.

(Manduka

Thus

if an

the

If

(COVA)

After the

Manduka

Gati

reached the point of start, the

sequence

of

jumps would repeat

again,

which

can't

be

allowed.

To

counter

his

problem,

he

next

arrived

at

Crawling

For illustration,

after

the jump

sequence

reaches

from

he

next

sign

after 3

would

be

Thus he order

For even

the sequence

becomes

The

Sex

of the

Child:

The sex

of

the

child

is

seen

from

the

lord

of

the sign

ruling

the house

of

pregnancy.

If

the

lord

is exalted or conjoin male

planets

Sun,

Rahu, Jup,

Mars),

he

issue is male.

If

the

lord

s

debilitated or conjoins

female

planets Moon, Ketu, Venus), he

issue is

female.

Saturn

and Mercury

are

eunuch

planets,

but

they

have

found

to

indicate

female

and

male

children respectively.

I f

the

lord of

the

sign is neither exalted/ debilitated, not conjoins any

other

planets,

he

sex

of

the

child

is

seen

from

the

nature

of

the

sign

occupied

by

it.

All

Odd

signs

excepting

the Aquarius and

Gemini

are

male

birth

signs

while all the even signs, expecting Cancer

and Pisces

are

Female

birth signs.

Effect

of

Parivartana

On Counting

If there

is

a exchange

of

house (Parivartana

Yoga)

between

the

Saptamsa Lagna lord and

the lord ofany other house, th e counting will be

based

on

whether

the

other

sign

is ODD

o r

EVEN

and

not

th e

oddi ty

of

th e

Saptamsa

Lagna.

How ever

th e

counting still

starts

from th e Saptamsa Lagna.

(COVA,

Page 193)

On

sex

of

child

If a

lord of the

child

associate

with a planet, lets

say

Venus

and there is a

parivartana

of

this planet with

another

Planet,

let's

say

Sun.

The

influence

of

the other planet,

namely

Sun will be more dominant

over

the lord

of th e child, in determining

the se x

of th e

child.

(COVA, Page 193).

However,

if

there

is

a

parivartana of the lord of child

with

another planet,

then

the sex

of the child, determined

by

the

lord

of

the child

is

simply

reversed.

For

e.g., if the lord

of

the child

is Venus is placed

in

Leo,

with

Moon and the lord

of

Leo,

Sun

is placed in

house

of

Venus,

Taurus,

then the

sex

of

the child indicated

by Venus in conjunction with Moon,

i.e..

Female, shall be

changed

to Male.

Riders

I f

the

ord

of

a

child

is

placed

n

the

house

of

another

child,

hen

one

of

the

children

indicated by

them shall

survive.

For illustration the

5

lh

lord

is

placed in the

7

house, one

of

the

children

signified by

the

5

and

the

lords

will

survive.

(Pt.

Sanjay Rath).

However,

in COVA,

Sanjay

has

presented one more

viewpoint while showing

the

another lord of the child, the

count

crawls

over

to

another sign.

To

illustrate

the point he

says

However,

Capricorn houses

wo

sisters as ndicated

by Mercury and Jupiter

and should

normally

have

limited

th e

number

of

elder

co-borns.

Since the

number

is

actually

higher,

the

next

sign Aquarius will

indicate

th e

co-born."

(COVA,

Page

1 20 )

I f

two lords of the child are

placed together,

then

one

of the children

shall

survive.

For

e.g.,

if the

lords

of

5

lh

and

9th are

placed

in

the

same

sign, then one among

the

children

shown by them

shall

survive.

However,

it

is

difficult

to

determine who

among

them

shall

8



survive

and

can only be

determined from practical

events. In

the

present

case, if there

is

a

miscarriage of the

first

child,

the

3

rd

child

shown

by

the

9

lh

lord

shall survive

and

vice-

versa.

If one planet

happens

to

indicate

more than o ne child,

then th e first child will be shown

by

the lord

of th e

child

however,

he T

d

one

will

be shown

by the house of the child and the

planets

placed

therein.

o illustrate hi s

point Pt.

Rath

says

in

COIA- page

110, when o ne

of

the children have

been

indicated

by

Mars

(House

of

child

-

Scorpio),

and

th e

next

house

of th e child

happens

to be

Aries,

Mars

will

not

show

the

child,

however

Aries,

placed

with

M o o n

will

show

a

sister

who

is

emotional (M o o n) and Rash (Aries). Had there been no planet, then Aries

would

have shown male

birth.

I f

Venus

becomes

the

lord of Saptamsa Lagna,

the

issues indicated

by

the

planets

in

the

8

lh

from

Venus

cannot survive unless conjoins Ketu (Ganapati), as these issues will have

Venus

in

the

Marana Sthana

(Reference).

The

same principle

can be extended to

other

planets.

Thus

in

case of

Different

Saptamsa

Lagna, the

placement

of

the lord of the

child

in

the following

places

cannot

survive....

Unless

supported

by

the following planets...

Mars

y t h

Mercury

Thus the principle

states

that

if the Saptamsa Lagna lord is placed in a Marana karaka

Sthana

from

the

Lord

of

the child, hen either

the parent or

he

child

survive,

unless,

there

Fortune

of

Children

Details

regarding

he fortunes

of individual

children

can

be

predicted

by

reating

each

of

he

signs

occupied

by the lord of the pregnancy

as the Lagna.

For

example,

the

sign

occupied

by the

seventh

lord should be treated as the Lagna of the child

from

the second

pregnancy.

I f

the

lord

of

the child has good

relationship

(Sambandha) with the lord of

the Saptamsa Lagna,

there will

be

amicable

relationship

between

the

parent

and

the child. However, the placement

of

the

lord of the

child

from the Saptamsa Lagna

will

show, whether

the child

will

be helping

his/

her

parent

n

their

work.

Thus

f

the

ord

of

any

child

s

placed

in

the

7

lh

from

the

Saptamsa

Lagna, the child will oppose the

parent.

Similarly, if

the

lord

of

the child

is

placed

in

a

Kendra

from

he

Saptamsa

Lagna, hen

he

parent

and

he

child

will

become

Co-workers).

whereas

The

be applied in

the

saptamsa where, if

the

lord of

the

child, being a

benefic is

placed

in

the

3

rd

or

6

lh

from

the

Saptamsa

Lagna

or

its lord,

the

child

shall

be

responsible

for

the

defeat

of parents

or their loss

of wealth.

I f the lord of the child is placed

in

the

12

lh

from

the lord of Saptamsa Lagna, the child

will

reside

in a foreign

land

away from

the

parents.

12

lh

is the

house

which shows rejection of the matters

ruled

by the planet

placed

in the 12

lh

from

the Lagna. Thus is the lord of the child is

placed

in the

12

lh

, then this

will

show

that the child will be

having

some

kind of indifferent relationship

from

the parent and

being a

ouse

which

shows long

journey,

the child

will

be

staying

at

a

very long

distance.

Similarly he Marriages of

the

children

can

be

seen

from

he

Upapadas

from

he Lord of

the

children.

For illustration, if the lord of the child is

placed

in Aries with Jupiter, the upapada will

be placed in Taurus,

taking

Pisces

as the 12

lh

from the Lagna of child in Aries.

and

Marakas

The
