PART – III
10 The First Lesson:
Childhood
Now see the horoscope of a child born on January 30, 1992 at 07.21 a.m., New Delhi. The lagna lord Saturn and the eighth lord Sun are on the same degrees. The Gnatikaraka who represents the sixth house and therefore accidents and diseases, Venus is in Sagittarius with Mars and Rahu and is heavily afflicted. In the Vimshottari dasha it was the period of Mercury, the sixth lord.
The Chara dasha begins with Capricorn which contains two malefics. The first sub-period is of Sagittarius, the rashi of accidents. It contains the Gnatikaraka, the karaka of accidents. An alarming situation. The child got drowned in a tub, was somehow saved by the doctors but his brain is totally dead.
Now see the horoscope of the mother born on September 4, 1967 at Gorakhpur (lat. 26°45’N, long. 83°24’£) with Scorpio.
Lagna 17028’ Mars 21043’ Venus 12006’
Sun 15040’ Mercury 6034’ Saturn 15030’
Moon 24042’ Jupiter (R) 19027’ Rahu 15053’
ascendant and the Putrakaraka and the Gnathikaraka in Leo whose period she was running when the child was born to her.
Lagna 24°03′ Mars 2°53′ Venus(R)(GK) 9°10′
Sun 17041′ Mercury 27″21′ Saturn (R) 17°45′
Moon (PK) 15°20′ Jupiter 27″55′ Rahu 5°24′
Analyse both the horoscopes and see how destinies are interlinked. Those who come under the sway of western thinking and insist, that man has complete freedom, will be surprised how it can be seen through Hindu astrology that man’s freewill can operate only within his predestined fate and never outside. But that is not the subject matter right now.
