Example of Happiness from Children 
June 9, 2006 |
| Vedic Astrology Diary Archives |
In the last two articles we quoted from K.N. Rao's book, Astrology
and Karma, to demonstrate how to determine if a person
experiences happiness from their children of not. K.N. Rao recommended
3 parameters: 1) look at the condition of the 5th house - association
and aspects 2) look at the condition of the 5th lord by its
house position 3) and by association and aspect.
This is the chart of a man who has one child, a son who just
graduated from college. He says that they have a great relationship
and are like best buddies, talking together frequently. They
share sports, music, and have always had a fun time together.
The only problem was that they couldn't spend very much time
together as the boy was growing up, due to a messy divorce situation.
Notice how he has Mars and Rahu in the 7th house indicating
the potential for unstable and volatile relationships.
Natal Chart
Notice how the 5th house has an exalted Saturn conjunct the
Moon, and aspected by Jupiter. Jupiter and Saturn here form
a raja yoga between the 9th lord, Saturn, and the 7th and 10th
lord Jupiter. Saturn is also exalted in Libra. When the Moon
is in the 5th house the person generally enjoys children and
has a close relationship with their own child. In this case,
Saturn's conjunction as the 8th lord with the Moon indicates
the separation and grief this man experienced for much of his
child's upbringing. However, Saturn's strength and Jupiter's
close aspect to the Moon shows that this was not extreme.
Venus the 5th lord is unaspected in the 3rd house, which is
a neutral placement - it's not a benefic angular or trinal house,
and it's not a malefic dusthana house. Venus's placement in
the 3rd house in the sign of Leo indicates the hobbies, communication,
and recreational activities they share.
If you make the 5th house the ascendant you'll be able to read
the first child's chart within the father's chart. (The 7th
house is the second child, 9th house the 3rd child, 11th house
4th child etc.) From this placement you can see Saturn, the
yoga karaka, exalted in the ascendant forming a shasha mahapurusha
yoga, as well as a raj yoga with the Moon. Mercury is in its
own sign of Gemini in the 9th house. His father describes him
as extremely mature and intelligent, shown here by Saturn and
Mercury primarily.
The father is in his Mercury-Saturn dasha. Mercury is the significator
of education, and from the 5th house Mercury becomes the 9th
lord of higher education. Saturn is the 5th lord, which represents
non-compulsory education, such as college (4th house is compulsory
education). His son just graduated last year in the middle of
the Saturn sub period.
