41. The 180 portion or half of the Zodiac beginning from Lagna, that is, still to rise till the end of 7th Bhava is the invisible half. The remaining 180 is the visible half. The Eastern portion of the Zodiac comprises 180 from the 10th house, to the 4th house (nadir). The Western half of 180 begins from the nadir (4ih house) and ends at mid heaven, that is, the tenth house.
SANKETA TWO
1. If in the chart prepared at the time of conception or query, and also the Navamsa chart Ascendant, Jupiter, Moon and Sun are posited in odd signs the birth of amale child should be predicted. If in even signs the birth of a female issue is to be predicted.
2. 5th or the 7th sign from the position of Moon in the query chart or the chart prepared for the time of conception, would be the Janma Rasi (the sign occupied by Moon) in the birth chart. 5th or the 7th sign from Navamsa of the query lagna (Ascendant) or conception Lagna could alos be Janma Rasi in the birth chart. Actually the delivery is likely to take place when Moon in transit passes through Navamsa owned by Adhana (conception) or Prasna (query) Lagna, whichever is stronger, or when Moon transits the sign owned by strongest of the planets owning Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dvadasamsa and Trimsamsa occupied by Moon.
3. When Sun is posited in qudruped sign in conception or query chart and remaining planet are strongly placed in dual signs, birth of twins would take place.
If malefics be not aspected by benefits, or be at the junction of two signs or in even signs and be associated with Moon the child born would be stupid.
4. If the malefics be posited at the function of signs and Moon be in Taurus (exaltation sign of the Moon) aspected by a malefic, the native would be dumb or mute. If Moon and Sun be in Leo and be aspected by malefics, the native born would be sightless or blind.
5. If malefics be posited in malefic signs (i.e. signs owned by malefic planets) which are 5th, 7th or 9th from Sun, the father of the native at the time of birth would be under restraint (may be in prison). If Sun be in a moveable sign, such restraint would be in a foreign country, if in a fixed sign in the home country and if in a dual sign the restraint would be at a place falling on the way, to the homeland. The direction of the place would be in accordance with sign occupied by Sun. If Moon be posited in the last portion or en-point of a sign and ascendat not aspected by Moon, the birth of the child would take place during absence of the father from the place of birth.
6. If Moon does not aspect Ascendant, be posited between Mercury and Venus, Saturn be in Ascendant and Mars in 7th, the father would be away at the time of birth. taken place soon after his birth. If Sun and Venus aspected by Mars be posited in 6th, 8th or 12th house, the father of the child would not be alive at the time of his birth.
7.
If there be malefics in 12th and 2nd houses from the Ascendant and the Lord of Ascendant being weak, be in 9th or 4th house, it can be said that the father of the native was very sick at the time of native’s birth.
8. If the birth takes place at night and Saturn associated with a malefic, be in 5th or 9th house from Moon, the mother of the native would die at the time of his birth. If the birth takes place during day time and Mars be in trine to Venus, the mother would die at the time of birth of the native. If in case of night birth, Mars be associated with Saturn in a moveable sign, it is to be understood that the death of the father had already occurred in a place away from the place of birth.
9. The same would happen, if Saturn and Mars be conjoined with Sun in a moveable sign. If malefics occupy Ascendant, 7th, 8th and 12th it should be understood that the death of the mother of the native had taken place soon after his birth. If 7th, 8th and 9th houses from Ascendant be occupjed by malefics, it should be predicted that both mother and child would die soon after the birth of the latter. If all the malefics occupy 6th and 12th houses from Ascendant and Moon, the mother would survive but the child would die soon after birth. If malefics occupy Ascendant Moon sign, 7th and 8th houses from Ascendant or Moon, the child born would survive but the mother would die soon after his birth.
10. The number of female attendants in the delivery room would be equal to the number of planets posited between Ascendant and Moon. The number of female attendants outside the delivery room would be equal to the number of planets on the left side of Ascendant (visible half) and the number of such persons inside the delivery room would be equal to planets posited on the right side of Ascendant (invisible half). If these planets be benefits, the lady attendants would be of superior class. They would belong to low class if such planets be malefics. The left or the visible half begins from the portion of the 7th house still to set and extends to the rising portion of first house; the other half of the Zodiac is called “invisible”.
11. In this Sloka some more clues have been given to find out the number of female attendants. If in the visible half referred to in the previous Sloka there be any retrograde planet or planets in their signs of exaltation, the number of attendants would be thrice the number of such planets. If planets be in their own sign, Navamsa Drekkana etc. the number of attendants would be twice the number of such planets. If there be planets which are combust, or m their sign of debilitation or in inimical signs or trik houses (6th, 8th or 12th), the number of attendants would be half of the number of such planets. If Ascendant is Aries or Pisces the number of attendants would be two. In the case of Capricorn, Libra, Scorpio, Leo, Virgo or Gemini Ascendants the number of attendants would be three. In Taurus or Aquarius, Ascendants the number of attendants would be four. In case of Cancer or Sagittarius Ascendant, the number of attendants would be five.
