Chapter 4
Visha Kanya Adhyaya
1. A girl born (1) in the asterisms Ashlesha, Krittika and Satabhisha, (2) in the week days - Sunday, Saturday and Tuesday and (3) in the Bhadra Tithis - i.c., Dwitiya, Saptami and Dwadasi - is termed a Visha Virgo when (1), (2) and (3) synchronously combine. That girl will be a Visha Virgo in whose nativity two benefics are in the Ascendant, one malefic in the 10th and two other malefics are in the 6th.
2. Note the following combinations: (1) Saturday, Ashlesha and Dwitiya; (2) Tuesday, Saptami and Satabhisha; (3) Sunday, Dwadasi and Visakha. If a girl be born in any one of these combinations, she will be a Visha Virgo.
Mars in the 9th, Saturn in the Ascendant and the Sun in the 5th in the nativity of a girl make her a Visha Virgo.
3. If the lord of the 7th house reckoned from the Ascendant or the Moon occupy the 7th, the yoga words off (1) the evil termed Visha, (2) childlessness and (3) widowhood. The same result would follow if benefic planet should occupy the 7th house reckoned form the Ascendant or the Moon.
4. Thus has been described the chapter on Visha Virgo by Sri Ganesha in three well-chosen verses in this beautiful work - Jatakalankara- composed in pleasing verses for the edification of the learned.
