16.0 CHAPTER XV Special Rules

In all the horoscopes, belonging to males or females - Lagna plays an important part and if Lagna, its lord, the combinations in it and the aspects it has are all good, powerful and beneficial, the person, male or female, will be well formed, developed and attractive, will live long in good position and comforts, will command many servants, great wealth, landed and house properties, will be educated and intelligent and will be a man of great financial resources. If on the other hand it has combinations and aspects quite the reverse of the above, the results will be quite unfavourable. He will be defective in limbs, ugly or ill-developed, unattractive, poor and distressed, neglected by relations and friends, will be ignorant and will. be neglected by his society and community. For other events in life other Bhavas and houses have to be consulted. There is a large section of astrological writers, who have treated elaborately on the appearances of first Menses in a girl, and who seem to attach even greater importance to this phenomenon than to the birth time. I have, therefore, treated this subject exhaustively in the previous paragraphs. A few points, however, may be noted here. For personal appearances, character, general health, position and happiness, Lagna as well as Chandra Lagna should be consulted for a female; for the husband his appearance, position and behaviour, the 7th from Lagna should be consulted. For conception, pregnancy, delivery, married life, prosperity, jewels, ornaments and for the prosperity and adversity of children, the 5th from Chandra or Lagna or from both has to be examined. For the longevity of the husband; for the married state and widowhood the 8th house should be consulted. There are few sections of females, who remain without marriage, who are not threatened with widowhood, and who have no domestic surroundings to cause them anxiety. These exceptions are also treated in the astrological works and we draw the attention of our readers to carefully study the problems connected with female horoscopy, analyse all the facts in the light of instructions from the Gurus or elderly persons, utilise the recorded experiences of the past ages and masters in this subject, use their own experience and intelligence and then after studying the conditions of life in each country, community and family about their customs and manners, pronounce such judgements, as will prove correct and unerring. Women all over the world are rapidly progressing on various lines and in curious manners. We have now no marriages, half-marriages, quarter marriages, civil contracts, marriages for getting one child, companionate marriages, Hostel and School marriages, marriages on railways, buses, ships and aeroplanes, on trees, on rocks and so on that it is difficult to enumerate all of them. Modesty and sacred marriages are receding before the fury of material civilisation. The women, as well as men, are not very particular about the permanent bonds. They imitate Nature and she points to birds and beasts. Once in the Medico-Legal Journal a cultured woman observed thus: "In the Intellectual and Political Republic I have a right to select any man, at any time, in any place, and under any circumstance, and join sexually with him or with anybody else; as often as I please and reject him or them whenever I like." This is a bold statement and a challenge to society on the part of a woman. But times are treading in such directions, and the ancient ideas of modesty, chastity and womanly virtues may be wrecked on the growing rocks of modern civilisation and materialistic comforts. Whatever the forms of marriages there may or may not be, one thing is certain, that the women and men are joining in sexual contacts, and the menses results explained before in this treatise due to planetary, zodiacal and constellational influences, will happen to them both individually and also collectively. Fire burns all the same whether you touch it with the faith and belief, that it is a deity or simply a physical phenomenon. Take a venereal woman. It is immaterial whether you have her for sexual purposes as a wife, as a concubine or as simply a woman for that single occasion. Will she not give you her property of disease after you enjoy her? The name and form are immaterial, but the fact is material, and the venereal complaint is demonstrable, as you get it positively. I have known several women and men sending to hell, their sexual co-operators, in quick succession. They may not become widows and widowers, but they will suffer all the same from their venereal vagaries, and their subsequent consequences. Take a boy's horoscope: If he has Venus, Mars and Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, in Lagna or 4th or 7th or 6th, even the purest girl who has the misfortune to unite with him sexually will fall a prey to venereal complaints and pay heavy penalties for such indiscretions. Similarly for females.
The subject is very interesting and instructive and I have done my best to present it in as inviting a manner as possible. This interesting and instructive work Strijataka or the Female Horoscopy, has been completed by me on Thursday, 28th May 1931 at 4 p.m., in my residence Hunsamaranahalli, Bangalore District, S. India, on the Dwadasi of the bright-half of the lunar month Jyeshta, in the cyclic year Prajotpatti, in Salivahana Saka 1858, in my 75th year, through the grace and mercy of the Almighty, who has been graciously pleased to grant me full vigour and vitality to my brain, to achieve this translation without any break or hitch. The following are the combinations of planets in Rasi and Navamsa Diagrams at the time.

English, 28th May, 1931

Samvat or Vikramasaka - 1989.

Solar month Taurus or Vrishabha, date 15th. Completion time 24 ghatis after sunrise. Constellation - Chitta ruled at the time with the balance of Kuja Dasa for 2 years, 3 months and 21 days. I have made it a point to give the time of completion of all my works as _ my own age so that my readers will be able to judge the merits of my works and find out what measures of success will attend on these publications 'and how long I will be able to live through my works, as an author. God’s glory is shown through the planetary combinations. Eminent authors live after their physical death. Others die long before they are actually dead.

According to Hindu Astronomy there are two Ayanas.

2. Dakshinayana - Composing the six months commencing from Kataka and extending to Dhanus.

In the Uttarayana, the Sun takes the Northern course, reaches the Northenmost point in Meena and comes to due East in the end of Mithuna. In the Dakshinayana, he takes the Southern course , reaches the Southermost point in the end of Thula and comes to due East in Makara. Kataka and Makara are called the equinoctial points or the equinoxes.

9. Margasira - November and December.
10. Pushya - December and January.

These lunar months are named so because on the Full-Moon day or Pournima of each month, the constellation of such a name occurs thus: Chitta falls on the Pournima of Chaitra, Visakha falls on the Pournima of Vaisakha, Jyeshta falls on the Pournima of Jyeshta, Poorvashadha occurs on the Pournima of Ashadha. Sravana falls on the Pournima of Sravana. Poorvabhadra in Bhadrapada. Aswini in Aswija. Krittika in Kartika. Mrigasira in Margasira. Pushya in Pushya. Makha in Magha.

19.6 Periods and Sub-periods of Planets

There are various methods of calculating periods and sub-periods of planets but all of them cannot be detailed here. The easiest and the most familiar is given below for the benefit of our readers.

Take the 27 constellations and 9 planets and divide them. We get 3 constellations for each planet. There are 120 shares in the planetary company and the shares as given below are allotted to the planets.

Sun 6 years
Moon 10 do.
Mars 7 do.
Rahu 18 do.
Jupiter 16 do.
Saturn 19 do.
Mercury 17 do.
Ketu 7 do.
Venus 20 do.
--------------------------------
Grand Total 120 years

These shares are permanent and hold the same proportion in all periods, sub-periods and other minor divisions. The shares are constant and unalterable and the student will have no difficulty in allotting years, months, days.
