native will have one sister, then a brother and the third one born
thereafter will die.

sign is divided into 12 equals parts of 2.5 degrees each) covered

 will indicate the total number of brothers/sisters a native will have.

o Divide the particular dwadasamsa occupied by the planet named

above into as many sub-divisions as the number of brothers

-5-
 indicated and determine how many such sub-divisions the
planet has actually covered and how many remaining to be
covered. The sub-divisions already covered denote the elder
 brothers/sisters and those yet to be covered by the planet,
 younger ones.

Example : Assuming Mars as the indicator for brothers in a certain horoscope and
that Mars is at 26 deg. 16 mins. Capricorn. Since Mars has covered 10 dwadasamsa,
10 brothers are indicated. In the 11th dwadsamsa (wherein Mars is standing), 4/10th
has already been covered indicating 4 elder brothers and 6/10th yet to be covered,
indicating 6 younger brothers.

 As the procedure outlined above is something unusual and there may be orthodox
students of astrology who may want to verify the authority, we quote below the
relevant sloka, so that, in the event of a different interpretation being justifiable,
those better equipped in the field of astrology will be able to guide the public and
researchers :-

Brathru nadha tad yukta kaarakaanaam balituyaha

Tad bukta dwadasamsena brathru sankhya vinirdiseth
 jyeshta buktamsaka gneya bogyamsasthu kanishtakaha

The longevity and prosperity of siblings will be dependent on the nature of 
dwadasamsas covered; sex is also determined from the same dwadasamsa.

Moon standing on a star owned by lord of 11th, the native will
 build/erect a house for residence.

Note : Moon is the significator for 4th house which governs mother, house,
happiness etc. Therefore, such Moon standing on a star owned
 by the lord of 11th should confer house/property on the native.

Happiness

o If lord of 10th is posited in a watery-sign, the native's happiness

etc. will be through water. If lord of 4th is in own

Saturn indicates that the native's wife will be cruel and of

 Angaraka Dosha

o If Venus, Significator for 7th) is unaffected by malefics (whilst

there may be connections with benefics), lord of 7th is strong
and there is also a benefic in 7th, Angaraka Dosha (the evil
contributed by Mars by his stay in 1/2/4/7/8/12)  will NOT
affect the native.

In the face of a well-placed Venus (powerful) in the horoscope, Angaraka Dosha will
pale into insignificance. So also, if the 7th and its lord
are strong, Angaraka Dosha may not do any harm. Here the 7th/7th lord from Venus
is considered.
Jupiter in 7th indicates long married life.

- 16 -
 o The quantum of Angaraka Dosha in masculine and feminine
horoscopes should be assessed with reference to the strength
of Mars in respective horoscopes.

Cancellation of Angaraka Dosha

o If both the husband and wife possess Angaraka Dosha, no evil

effects will arise, and there will be no widowhood.

Failing availability of a horoscope with Angaraka Dosha for the boy or girl with this
evil for matrimonial alliance, appropriate shanti according
to Shastra for Kuja Dosha may be performed to ward off this evil.
Mars posited in Taurus/Libra will not cause Kuja Dosha, irrespective of the bhava
occupied. This needs checking up. Will researchers
help ???

o If the 7th or the lord of 7th from Ascendant, Moon or Venus is

hemmed in between malefics, the malefic effects flowing from
there will have to be suffered by the native. Note : It appears
from the context and tone of this sloka, that the
indicated malefic effects cannot be escaped by the
native even by performing shanties.

Gain of girl-friend

o Gain of girl-friend in addition to company of wife will arise in

the Prana Dasa (minutest sub-division of a major period - see
Brihat Parashara Hora)of lord of 7th in debilitation, or the lord
of 7th if a malefic or posited in a sign owned by malefic or
aspected by malefic or a malefic standing in 7th.

Three wives

o If Moon and Mars are in 7th whilst lord of Ascendant is in 8th,

three wives are indicated.

Early Marriage

o  A strong lord of 7th standing in a sign owned by a benefic

denotes early marriage.

o If Venus is standing in quadrant/trine, marriage is likely in the

16th year of the native. Note : The year of marriage indicated
here, from the context, appears to denote early marriage.

o  Venus in 2nd whilst the lord of 11 is in 11th indicates marriage in

the 10th year. Note : Double or treble this figure as necessary 
according to times and community to which the native belongs.

- 17 -
 o If Venus is unafflicted by malefic and is in a friendly sign which
happens to be the 7th of Moon, marriage is likely in the 12th
 year. Double or Treble as necessary.

 Venus indicates marriage in the 22nd year.

Paraspara_antara Amsanam Vargam Sukramsa Bhajitam
Labdam Sesha Vinignamcha Trimsata Vibhajeth Tataha
Sesha Sankhya Samaabdetu Vivaham Prapunyath Naraha

Note : The procedure outlined in these slokas for ascertaining the year of marriage of 
a native, is under research.

Late Marriage

o Late marriage or marriage after the native is well past his youth
 will take place if Ascendant, 7th, their lords and Venus are
standing in fixed signs whilst Moon is posited in a movable sign.
o If the planets involved in the above Yoga are weak,
marriage may take place after 30 years of age.
o If Saturn is involved in the above Yoga, marriage is likely 
after 50 years of age.
o If Gulika is involved in this Yoga, marriage is likely after
60 years of age.

12).

secretly/quickly.

- 18 -
General

o  When making predictions or giving effects of Yogas, particular

attention should be paid to the strength of the planets involved.

o The effects/Yogas/predictions concerning the 7th should be

decided with reference to the Ascendant, 7th and their lords, and
planets posited both in Ascendant and 7th; their strength should
 be considered with reference to the signs occupied. The Moon
sign and its 7th, as also Venus and its 7th, should also be
considered.

 bhavanadipathya in addition to his enemy Mars, lord of 6th posited in his sign. In
