My book only has a passing reference to this.

 

Pt. Sanjay Rath's "Jaimini Maharishi's Upadesa Sutras" and "Crux of

Vedic Astrology - Timing of Events" give quite a few examples of this.

 

Just remember this:

 

When finding the fortunes of one's siblings from one's D-3 or one's

children from one's D-7, we count the relevant house in D-3/D-7 and

take its lord as the planet representing the sibling/child. THIS

counting have to be forward or reverse based on lagna being in

odd/even house. All other counting is as usual.

 

Examples: Immediate elder sibling from 11th in D-3, next elder

sibling (i.e. immediate elder sibling of one's immediate elder

sibling) from 9th (11th from 11th), immediate younger sibling from

3rd, next younger sibling (i.e. immediate younger sibling of one's

immediate younger sibling) from 5th (3rd from 3rd) should all be

counted in reverse for even signs. Similarly, 5th, 7th, 9th etc show

the first, second and third children of a person. These should be

forward or reverse based on odd/even sign.

 

Let us say someone's D-3 has Vi lagna. Since Vi is even, counting is

reverse. His younger brother is represented by the lord of Cn (3rd

from Vi in reverse). If Moon is in Ta, then take Ta as lagna and

analyze D-3 to get the fortune of immediate younger brother (caution:

counting of houses from Ta to see the fortune of younger brother is

regular. For example, younger brother's vehicles are seen from Le,

the 4th from Ta). The 2nd younger brother is seen from the lord of Ta

(5th from Vi in reverse). If Venus is in Cp, then take Cp as lagna

and analyze D-3 to get the fortune of second younger brother. Again,

counting of houses from Cp to see the fortune of second younger

brother is regular, i.e. Aq shows money (2nd), Pi shows boldness

(3rd) and so on.

 

The only time we count houses from even signs in reverse is to find

the planet representing various siblings and children. Why is it so?

I don't know. I only passed on what I was told. I hope to have an

insight into this oneday...

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

PS: There is also a strange way of counting houses for the purpose of

longevity determination, Rudra calculation etc. I covered this in

detail in my book. But again, I don't know why it is so.
