hildbirth must be a focus of the year. Childbirth is indicated through the 5th house, 9th house and 7th house. The 5th house because it is a house of children, the 9th house because it is a secondary house of children according to the principle of bhavat bhavam, and the 7th house because it is the house of conception. To determine if it is, indeed, a focus, there should be at least two of the following factors present: •
•
•
•
•
The Muntha (Progressed Ascendant) occupies any of the aforementioned Houses within the Annual Chart (Varshaphal) The Muntha lord occupies any of the aforementioned Houses within the Natal Chart The Year Lord rules or occupies the aforementioned Houses within the Varshaphal The Year Lord occupies the aforementioned Houses within the Natal Chart Jupiter as Year Lord
•
•
Jupiter or the ruler of the 5th or 9th house occupying the Muntha. The Sun in the 5th, 7th or 9th house or ruling these houses. The Varshaphala is based on the Sun, so the Sun always plays a major role in every Varshaphala chart.
When predicting with Varshaphal and Tajika in general, Sahams play an extremely profound role. Sahams must always be assessed in every Varshaphal or the astrologer would most certainly miss something important during the year. There are many Sahams and of course, it is impossible for each one to give their effects effects during every year. For a Saham lord to give its effects, the planet must be endowed with strength by either having a Pancha Vargiya bala of above 10 or being exalted in the Varshaphala, or being within its own Hadda, TriRasi, Drekkana, Hora or Navamsa. The better a planet is with regards to these factors; the more able it is to give its effects. After determining childbirth is a major focus of the year through the methods mentioned previously with regard to the Muntha, Muntha lord, Year lord, Sun, etc., then it is important to consider the Sahams pertaining to childbirth. They are the Prasava (Delivery of Child) Saham and the Putra (Progeny) Saham. To determine if the the Saham is activated, activated, assess the following factors: •
The Saham is conjoined the Year Lord
•
The Saham is in the Muntha
•
The Saham lord aspects the Ascendant or the Ascendant lord and is related to the 5 th house lord or 9th house lord, or the Saham is in the 5th or 9th house. This is only in the Varshaphal chart.
To time the event of childbirth, there are two methods. a) Using the Patyayini Dasa, you determine the planet that will give the event by strength (pancha vargiya bala) and lordship of relevant houses. b) Look at the Tajika Yogas formed by this planet. When it forms a Tajika yoga with the Ascendant Lord, Year Lord, Muntha Lord or Ascendant, then the event will take place in its dasa or antardasa. c) To determine whether it will be the dasa or antardasa of the planet, you must first determine the type of Tajika yoga it is forming.
d) If it is an applying Tajika yoga, then the event will take place in the planet’s dasa that comes first within the dasa sequence. The antardasa will be that of the aspecting planet. e) If the Tajika yoga is a separating yoga, then of the two planets, the event will take place in the planet’s dasa that comes second in the dasa sequence and the antardasa of the other aspecting planet.
This method seems to give the event more often than Method 1. a) Find the Saham in the Varshaphala chart and determine its Shastiamsa (D-60) sign. b) Using Mudda Dasa and using the Shastiamsa, the event will happen in the dasa of either the lord of this sign, the ruler of the lord of the Shastiamsa Sign, or the lord of the 5th house from this Shastiamsa sign. c) To determine which of these planets will give the event in its dasa, you must take the strongest by dignity utilizing Parasara principles. prin ciples.

There is a focus on childbirth due to the year lord being in the 9th house and the 9th lord. The Sun is also in the 9th house. Mercury is imbued with very high Pancha Vargiya Bala Bala at 14.038. The Muntha th is Capricorn which falls in the 7 house house in the the Rasi. Shiloh was born just a few days before Angelina’s next birthday so she was conceived within this year, so 7th house indications would be revealed and are correct. Now that we have established that this chart holds the possibility of children, let’s go further. The Prasava or Delivery of a Child Saham falls at 13:19 Pisces. The Putra or Progeny Saham falls at 18:43 Aries. The Lagna is being aspected by Jupiter Jupiter to 40.9 points out of a possible 60. Anything over 40 is a strong aspect. aspect. Therefore, we can see that the Prasava Saham will be activated. Not only is it aspecting, it is within the Ascendant which gives Jupiter, the Saham lord, extra power. The Shastiamsa of the Prasava Saham occupies Taurus. For timing of childbirth, we have three possibilities. possibilities. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so Venus Venus dasa could could bring the birth. The ruler of Venus, the Moon, could could also bring the birth. Mercury, as the ruler of Virgo, the 5th house from Taurus, Taurus, could bring the birth. As it it was, was, Shiloh was born born in Venus/Ketu dasa/antardasa of the Mudda Mudda Dasa. Venus is in neutral dignity and also rules over the Moon and Mercury in this case, so Venus has quite a lot of say in bringing the baby into this world.

The year lord, Saturn, occupies the 5th house in the Natal chart and the Muntha occupies the 9th house in the the Natal Chart. Chart. The Sun rules the 9th house. Also, here again, there is a heavy emphasis on the 7th house. Her son was born within 2 weeks weeks of exactly nine months of her birthday so it very well could have been that he was conceived in this year with Saturn the year lord being in the 7th house and with strength at 11.831 of Pancha Vargiya Bala. Bala. Three factors point toward children being a focus of the year. The Saham of Progeny is at 6:53 of Gemini conjoined the Year Lord. Its Shastiamsa is Cancer. In the Mudda dasa, her son was was born in Moon Dasa Dasa which lasted between March th th 9 and April 9 . Child was born September 21, 1990.
In this chart, the Muntha falls in the 9th house. The Muntha Lord falls in the 5th house in the Natal Chart and the Year Lord, which is also the Sun, rules the 5 th house. So, clearly, children are a possibility. possibility. The Saham for Delivery of a Child Child falls in Leo and its its lord, the Sun, is the Year Lord. The Sun aspects aspects the Lagna within orb. The Progeny or Putra Saham falls is in Cancer Cancer at 00:41, directly directly on top of the Muntha lord, lord, Jupiter. However, it is the Delivery of a Child Saham that will give the birth. The child was born during Mercury/Mercury dasa/antardasa. The Shastiamsa Shastiamsa of the the Prasava Saham is Virgo. The possible candidates for the dasa lord in Mudda dasa were Mercury, Saturn and Venus. Mercury rules over Virgo and consequently consequently Saturn and is in a great friend’s sign. Venus rules over the Saham lord, Mercury, Mercury, and is in enemy’s dignity. Therefore, it is only natural that the Mercury dasa would give the birth. One can utilize these methods not only for childbirth, but also for marriage, falling in love, increased wealth wealth and promotion in career. career. All that is needed needed is to substitute substitute the 5th, 7th and 9th houses with the relevant houses regarding these subjects and then manifestation and timing of manifestation can be predicted.
