Saptamsa assignment - pratyantardasas and other things

May 21, 2000

Dear Gurudev,My respecful obeisances. Jaya Jagannath!

I reread the part of the COVA regarding children. Few extra points re my saptamsa.

+----------------------+| | | | Sat || Mnd | | | || | Mer | | Moo || BL | | | || | | | Rah ||-------------|---------------------------|-------------|| | | || | | || | | || | | || | | ||-------------| D - 7 |-------------|| | | || Glk | | || | | HL || Asc | | || | | ||-------------|---------------------------|-------------|| GL | | | || | | Sun | || Ket | Mar | | || | | Ven | || Jup | | | |+----------------------+

1. Something to explain the pratyantardasa for my son. My son was born in Rahu-Moon-Ketu. Ketu is in the 12th from saptamsa lagna. But you write somewhere that it can be " in other places favorable to the the childbirth " . Here it is exhalted with strong Jupiter - Putrakaraka - in Sagitarious. So it is o'key. It is also in the 7th (dwara) from Pakka lagna which is much stronger then ascendant and has chara-putrakaraka Rahu in it. It's being with Jupiter gives Pisces ascendant for my son.

In my daughter's case she was born in Rahu-Mars-Sun. Sun is in the 10th from lagna but it is in the 5th from Paka Lagna.

2. I also noticed that Rahu became Putrakaraka. It's conjunction with Saptamsa Laghesh is very good. And in my daughter's case it becomes like AK for her. So it's (exhalted) presence along with Saturn and Moon in her lagna cannot do evil and must turn very good, though give some rectifying hardships in life.

3. In some cases the lords of different issues conjoin in one sign. For instance, it is the case in my wife's saptamsa where she has Saturn as the 1st child lord conjoined with Mars as the 2nd child lord. This gives son and daughter. There are also few similar exampels in your COVA Now I am wondering what this mean in regards to the children's fortunes. It appears that they must be so strongly connected that, at least in the view of the respective parent they will have very similar natures with slightly diferent stresses. In my wife's case, my son (Saturn) will be more like a traditional brhamin (in Pisces) and daughter will have more of martian traits. Also as Saturn is more advanced in degrees then Mars it will dominate and my son will be a leader of my daughter.

4. Now anotherpoint as an illustration of what you write in COVA. Here is my Daughter's Rasi, Navamsa and Saptamsa (thanks to Narasimha who with his JHL made the life much easier):

She is going to be like the universal mother Parvati having exhalted Putrakaraka Moon in lagna. Her retrograde Mars in the 6th, Rahu aspecting Navamsa ascendant Aries from it's own house along with Jupiter in Aries and Ketu in Leo will make her very compassionate to the poor but at the same time punishing the wrongdoers. Her lagna lord Venus going to the 12th along with debilitated Saturn in Aries apart from the other things will add to her desire to help the poor at the cost of her own life. Karakamsa is in the 12th from Navamsa lagna. This conforms to the picture seen from my Saptamsa. From her Rasi, BK in Navamsa and D-16 she will be a devotee of Lord Krishna (another name for Durga is Vaisnavi).

Her husband will play an important role in her life. In Rasi the 7th lord Mars is retrograde in the 6th. Upapada lord is debilitated Saturn in the 12th with Venus. Upapada (Capricorn) has Ketu in it and conjoins the 9th house. The second from Upapada is aspeced by it's lord Saturn (which is also the UL lord), Venus, Rahu and Mars. Darakaraka Mercury is debilitated retrograde conjoined with Sun and combust Jupiter in the 11th. 7th house is aspected by the Rahu, Ketu, Venus and Saturn, as well as by the exhalted Moon (graha-dristi). In Navamsa 7th house is aspcted by the nodes. The 7th lord Venus is in the 4th Cancer with Darakaraka retrograde Mercury. Jupiter is in the 8th Scorpio in Parivartana with Mars in the 12th. This all will give somewhat dramatic marriage. She will marry a person out of compassion (Retrograde Mars in the 6th). She will love him and sacrifice her life for him. But still Krishna (Moon) will protect her.

With the children a similar thing. 5th lord Mercury does not get even one full Navamsa. It is debilitated retrograde in the 11th but conjoined with Sun. Naisargika putrakaraka Jupiter is in its own house in Pisces but combust. Cara putrakaraka Moon is exalted in lagna. Both 5th house and A5 are aspected by Sun, Mercury and conbust Jupiter. This all will give probably 1 child the most. In Saptamsa Capricorn rises with Ketu in it. Count conterzodiacal. First child is seen from the 9th. It's lord Mercury is alone there thus giving daughter. Must be a brilliant girl which is confirmed from the Rasi also. It is in trines with both Saptamsa Lagna and Saptamsa Lagnesh. Rahu-Ketu axis will not give more then 2 children. 7th lord Moon is in the 12th Saggitarius with Jupiter which could give a son. But it is in mutual aspect with Venus, 10th lord - so I would not advise her to try for the second child. Though, you never know - Exalted MOon in Lagna in a female's chart can do miracles.

Let me attempt to time the birth. It is unlikely to happen in her Mars dasa which goes up till her 18th year - by common sense and also because Mars obstructs the argala on Saptamsa lagnesh. On the other hand the next dasa or Rahu will give her the child - both by the common sense and it's having unobstructed argala on the Saptamsa lagnesh. There are no planets in the 3rd, 8th, 7th or 12th from the issue lord Mercury . But it's being placed in it's exaltation sign, it is most likely to give the child in it's antardasa from June 2027 till December 2027. The pratyantardasa should be of a planet in trince from Saptamsa Lagna - that is Ketu, Mercury or Saturn. Out of these Mercury is the strongest and also Ketu and Saturn give bandhana-yoga to the lord of Antardasa, so it is most likely to happen in the Rahu-Mecury-Mercury period. The lagna should be in trines to lagna as Capricorn is stronger then Taurus (paka lagna). It must normally give either Virgo or Gemini, preferrably Virgo. Janma Rasi should be signs other then trines and quadrants from Saptamsa Moon (Sagittarius).

I think that covers most of the points amonghst those you touch upon in your COVA. I have no examples of parivartanas in D-7 but it is quite clear. With the twins, I can reffer to Bhagavan Sri Ram's chart where th 5th hous is Scorpio, it's lord Mars being aspected by dualistic mercury (rasi) and Moon (graha), and Jupiter being placed also with Moon and aspected by Mercury. The fertility issue is out of the topic. Only the point about D-7 Narayana-dasas is left which I will raise in a separate letter.
