I note below two horoscopes,-a husband and his wife.
HUSBAND
Born, Tuesday, the 24th March 1891
4.15 p.m. WIFE
Born, Friday, the 23rd/24th June 1905,
night 2.30 a.m.
1. 11-110-13’-2” Sun 11-90-10’-1”
2. 4-90-16’-41” Moon 10-280-55’-10”
3. 0-190-5’-8” Mars 6-160-5’-17”
4. 11-110-28’-11” Mercury 2-80-8’-21”
5. 10-110-27’-11” Jupiter 1-20-11’-24”
6. 9-270-59’-8” Venus 0-240-11’-34”
7. 4-190-56’-51” Saturn 10-100-18’-7”
8. 4-130-25’-41” Lagna 0-160-48’-44”
Adding (1), (6) and (5)
we get 7-200-29’-21” = Adding (5), (2) and (3)
get 6-170-11’-51” =
Vrischika Rasi, Makara Navamsa. Both Rasi and Navamsa are even. So the virility in the male to produce offspring is not strong
Tula Rasi, Meena Navamsa Rasi odd. Navamsa even. The result in this case is mixed.
The couple are living and have so far no issues.
Sloka 15 : Substract five times the figures for the Sun from five times the figures for the Moon. If the Tithi represented by the result be an auspicious one in the bright half of a month, progeny is assured to the native (even) without much exertion. But if it be one of the dark half of the month, there is no such possibility It is by a close examination of the strength of the Tithi-whether it is auspicious or otherwise in both the Pakshas-bright and dark that one has to divine the possibility of the native being blessed wit h issue. During an Amavasya, a Chidra Tithi, the Vishti Karana or anyone of the Stthira-karanas, there will be no issue at all.
The Chidra Tithis are (1) Chaturthi (2) Shashti, (3) Ashtami, (4) Navami, (5) Dwadashi and (6) Chaturdasi. These 6 are generally avoided for any auspicious function.
There are 11 Karanas distributed over the 30 Tithis of the lunar month at the rate of 2 Karanas for each Tithi; four of these, viz; (1) Chatushpada, (2) Nagava, (3) Kimstugna and (4) Sakuna are called Stthira Karanas and are so named as they permanently hold sway over the four half Tithis commencing from the second half of Krishna Paksha Chaturdasi. The other seven, viz., (1) Bava, (2) Balava, (3) Kaulava, (4) Taitthila, (5) Garaja, (6) Vanija and (7) Vishti or Bhadra are called Chara or moveable Karnas and occur in 8 cycles to preside over the remaining 56 half-tithis of the lunar month beginning with the later half of Suklapaksha prathama.
Taking the sample horoscope given under the previous Sloka.
HUSBAND WIFE
5 times the figures for the Moon 24-260-23’-10”
5 times the figures for the sun 56-00-18’-10” subtracting
we got 4-00-18’-15” = 1200 18’ 15” = 11th Tithi = Ekadasi (Bright half) 5 times the figures for the Moon 54-240-35’-50”
5 times the figures for the Sun 11-150-50’-5” subtracting
we get 43-80-45’-15” = 2180 45’ 45” = 19th Tithi = Chaturthi (Dark half), which is a Chidra Tithi.
The reader should note that while substracting the number of houses, care should be taken to remove as many cycles of 12 houses and reid only the balance.
Sloka 16 – 18 : Should however the result happen to be one of the Chhidra Tithis, the Vishti Karana, or a (Stthirakarana, alluded to in the last sentence of the previous Sloka), one ought to worship God Krishna by means of the Purusha Sukta Mantras to ward of the barrenness threatening the family. If the Tithi disclosed be Shashti, he ought to worship God Subrahmimya; if it be Chaturthi, he ought to propitiate the lord of serpents; if it be Navami, he ought to arrange for the reading of Ramayana and hear that story; if it be Ashtami, he ought to observe the Sravana Vratha (by fasting); if it be Chaturdasi, he must worship God Rudra (Siva) by Rudraparayana; if it be Dwadasi he must propitiate the Gods by liberal feeding; if it be Amavasya or Pournami, he ought to propitiate the Manes. These things he ought to do all the more and with greater care and effort when the Tithi happens to be one among the last five of the month-viz., after Krishna Paksha Dasami. Generally, in the dark half of a month to which so ever of the three divisions a Tithi may belong, worship ought to be resorted to the particular deity to be propitiated being Nagaraja in the first division, viz., 1-5 Tithis, Skanda in the second (next 5 Tithis-i.e., 6-10) and Hari in the third (or last 5).
Sloka 19 : If at a birth the lord of the 5th house be posited in its inimical or depression sign or be eclipsed (by the Sun’s rays or occupy any of the Dusstthanas, viz., the 6th, the 8th or the 12th); or the planet occupying the 5th house be similarly situated or happen to be the lord of any one of the three houses, viz., the 6th, the 8th or the 12th, one ought to declare childlessness as an inevitable result. He ought to divine the source of the same by an examination of the particular deity, tree and animal represented by the sign occupied by that planet.
