44) If mars and Saturn be posited in the 7th house from the Sun and Moon at the time of sexual union, the man and woman would fall ill. The couple would meet with their end, if the luminaries (the Sun in the case of man, and the Moon in the case of woman) should have Mars and Saturn in the 12th and 2nd places from them. Or be aspected by one of these malefics or conjoined with them.
45) For day births, Venus and the Sun are considered mother and father respectively; and for night births, they are the Moon and Saturn respectively. When one pair acts as the parents, the other does as maternal aunt and paternal uncle respectively. If these planets occupy even and odd houses respectively, they confer auspicious results on the parents or aunt and uncle as the case may be.
46) If a weak benefic is posited in the lagna and aspected by a malefic, or if Saturn in exaltation is posited in the Lagna, being aspected by the weak Moon and Mars, the woman will certainly meet with death ere long.
47) If the Lagna and the Moon, either together or separately, are surrounded by malefics, then the pregnant woman will die.
48) The same result will follow, if there are malefics in the 4th house counted form the lagna, the Moon and Mars in the 8th house; or if the New Moon, Mars and the Sun are in the 4th and 12th houses respectively.
49) If Mars and Sun occupy the Lagna and the 7th house respectively, the woman’s death takes place as a result of surgical operation or a weapon. Abortion is likely to take place in the particular month of pregnancy whose lord is eclipsed. Notes: Pregnancy lasts for 10 months based on the sidereal calendar. Each of the months is ruled by a planet. The condition of the foetus will depend will depend on the strength etc. of the planet ruling the month. The following are the rulers of the 10 months in order: venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, the planet that owns the Lagna at impregnation, the Moon and lastly the Sun.
50) If the Lagna at Ädhäna (impregnation) or the Moon are conjoined with benefics, or if the benefics are posited in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th houses counted from either, and if the malefics be in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses, without aspecting the Lagna or moon, as the case maybe, the foetus will grow happily.
51) It should be predicted that a boy will be born, if the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and lagna, being possessed of strength, occupy odd Räçi and the masculine Aàças (odd ones); or if Jupiter and the Sun at least are in odd places.
Notes: The strength of Naväàças and their lords play and important role. The above rules can be applied to a nativity, query or impregnation chart.
52) The wise should declare the birth of a female, when the above (the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and the Lagna) or Mars, the Moon and Venus, are posited in even Signs and even Naväàças.
53) If the planets viz Mars, venus and the Moon are posited in dual signs and Aàças, and are aspected by Mercury, twins will be born. Similarly, Saturn occupying an odd house other than the Lagna makes for a male birth.
54-56) The pregnant woman gives birth to a eunuch under the following yogas:- (1) The Sun and Moon should aspect each other; (2) Mercury and Saturn should aspect each other.; (3) Mars should aspect the Sun in an even Räçi; (4) Mars aspects the Lagna and the Moon that are in odd signs; (5) Mars aspects the Moon is an even sign and Mercury in an odd sign; (6) Mars should aspect the odd Aàça (of the Lagna?). If the Moon and Venus occupying even Räçis are aspected by a male planet, and if the Lagna, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter occupy odd Räçis, the result is the birth of the twins. The same result will follow, if both the Lagna and Moon occupy either even Signs or Dual ones. So too when Mercury situated in his own Aàça or Räçi aspects the Dual Aàça or Räçi occupied by planets and their ascendant.
57-58) Triplets will have to be predicted on the basis of Mercury’s occupation of Even and Dual Vargas (Räçi and Aàça). When the lagna is the last Aàça of Dhanus and when strong planets occupying the Aàça of the Lagna are aspected by strong Saturn and Mercury, there would be many children in the foetus. The Lords of the 10 months of pregnancy are Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun and Moon respectively. Notes: There is a difference between this work and others on astrology regarding the lordship of the last two months.
59) The welfare of the child in the womb in the different months depends on the condition of the lords of the respective months. If Mercury is posited in the 5th or 9th house, and the others weak or eclipsed, the child will have two heads and four hands and feet.
60) When the malefics, Sun, Moon Mars and Saturn are posited in the junctions of Räçis viz. the last parts of Karkaöaka, Våñcika and Ména, the child will be dumb and without feet.
61) Should Mars and Saturn are occupy a Sign or Aàça owned by Jupiter, the child will have teeth at birth. Should the Moon occupying her own house in Karkaöaka, which is the Lagna at birth, be aspected by Mars and Saturn, it would be hunch-backed. If the lagna be the last portion of Ména and aspected by the Moon, Mars and Saturn, it would be lame.
62) When Siàha Lagna is occupied by the two luminaries and aspected by Mars and Saturn, the child will be blind. On the other hand, if the aspecting planets are both benefic and malefic, the child will be bleary-eyed. If under the above conditions the Sun and Moon be in the 12th house, its right and left eye respectively will be destroyed.
63) If the lagna which is Siàha is occupied by the two luminaries and aspected by Mars and Saturn, the child will be blind. On the other hand, if the aspecting planets are both benefic and malefic, the child will be bleary-eyed.
