FEMALE HOROSCOPE
There are two lagna (ascendant) both for men and women, viz., the rising sign or Janma lagna (ascendant) at the time of birth and Janma Rasi or the sign occupied by the moon. The odd signs are called cruel and the even signs are called mild.
- From the birth lagna (ascendant) must be ascertained the complexion, beauty and genera appearance of the woman and the 8th house from lagna (ascendant) must be consulted for her marital life and widowhood.
- From the 7th house from lagna (ascendant) her sexual passions, her husband’s character, her fortune and her general happiness have to be found out.
- The 5th house from lagna (ascendant) has to be examined to find out her pregnancy, he issues, conceptions and abortions.
- If the birth or moon falls in even signs she will have feminine characteristics. If they have beneficial aspects or conjunctions, the female will be beautiful, will have ornaments, and will be respected.
- If the lagna (ascendant) and moon fall in odd signs, she will be masculine in appearance and temper, bad character sorrowful; if these two, lagna (ascendant) and moon, are combined with or aspected by cruel planets, her character will be bad and sinful. In judging of these results, the astrologer has great difficulties and has to use much discretion in predicting the results.
- Take some illustrations; Cancer is lagna (ascendant) with mars there and aspected by saturn. lagna (ascendant) is even and the girl ought to be good, but the presence of mars in debilitation with the aspect of saturn will make her a whore and of bad character.
- There are some women, bad in morality but otherwise respectful and agreeable in behaviour. There are some others who are moral gems, but disrespectful and quarrelsome in behaviour. In the above case say MOON is also in KANYA an even sign and is aspected by JUPITER or VENUS. Say CAPRICORN is LAGNA (ASCENDANT) and MARS and SATURN are there. CAPRICORN is an even sign with MARS in exaltation and SATURN in his own house. Now do the planets here give the same results as they do in Cancer? Cancer as LAGNA (ASCENDANT) with MARS and JUPITER, with SATURN and SURYA, with VENUS and SATURN, with MARS and VENUS, with RAHU and SURYA; with KETU and MOON will and must produce certainly different results. Suppose ARIES as LAGNA (ASCENDANT) with SATURN and MARS, SATURN and RAHU, SATURN and JUPITER, SATURN and MOON, and SATURN and VENUS they will produce characteristics of a different kind and the student should be very careful in his predictions.
- Take Cancer as LAGNA (ASCENDANT) with JUPITER in it. He will be in exaltation, and if he has no evil aspects he will produce a woman of great majesty, excellent character, virtuous behaviour and generous disposition. Suppose CAPRICORN is LAGNA (ASCENDANT). Here both Cancer and CAPRICORN are even signs and in both we have JUPITER the most beneficial among the planets. But in CAPRICORN, JUPITER is debilitated and as such the woman cannot be one of exceptional character. There is great difference in the signs themselves. Cancer is a beneficial sign and when the MOON is full, it will be quite auspicious. But when the MOON is weak as in Amavasya, the sign will not be so powerful. CAPRICORN is an evil sign by nature and JUPITER there is bad both because CAPRICORN is an evil sign and also because JUPITER is in debilitation.
- Suppose LIBRA becomes LAGNA (ASCENDANT) with SATURN in it and ARIES becomes LAGNA (ASCENDANT) with SATURN in it. The difference in the character and behaviour of the girl will be very great. Say a female is adulterous and objectionable but will have the knack to treat her husband with apparent love and consideration and thus give no room for complaint as a wife, then he thinks he is happy. But if the woman is adulterous and takes a defiant stand to her husband, admits her lovers in his presence an causes him great discomfort and pain, the case is different. There is some difference between the two women, although morally both are bad. Take a woman, not given to much adultery, but attached to one bad man, and tries to poison or kill her husband. Her character is certainly reprehensible and she cannot be classed with the other two. Therefore, in judging of planetary influences, great discretion must be used.
- Odd signs are cruel, Nararasis or masculine. Even signs are mild, feminine or Strirasis. When both MOON and LAGNA (ASCENDANT) fall in odd signs and evil planets occupy or aspect them; the nature of the woman will be thoroughly bad. Even among cruel or odd signs there is, and there must be great difference in producing the evil effects. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Saggitarius and Aquarius are odd and cruel signs, but they are owned by malefic and benefic planets. Aries is ruled by Mars, Gemini by Mercury, Leo by Sun, Libra by Venus; Saggitarius by Jupiter, and Aquarius by Saturn. When the LAGNA (ASCENDANT) of a girl falls in any one of then or MOON occupies any one of these, her characteristics will differ.
