                             PHALADEEPIKA OF MANTHRESWARA

          CHAPTER XI – एकादशोध्याय

                                                            स्त्रीजातकं

“  ll यद्यत्पुंप्रसवे क्षमं तदखिलं स्त्रीणां प्रिये वा वदे-

       न्मङ्गल्यं निधनातं सुतांश्च नवमाल्लग्नात्तनोश्चरुताम्  l

       भर्तीर् सुभगत्वामस्तभावनास्तङ्ग सतित्वं सुखात्

       संतस्तेषु शुभप्रदास्त्वषुभदाः कूरास्तदिशं विना  ll  “..............१.

1.  All the effects which are given for men also equally apply to the women and their husbands. A woman’s prosperity and happiness have to be checked from the 8^th HOUSE   either from the Ascendant or Moon whichever is stronger. (माङ्गल्यं निधनात).  From the 9^TH HOUSE we must deduce about the children. From the Ascendant (लग्न) we must deduce about her appearance, look etc.  To find about a female’s power to influence her husband and his nature we must check the 7^TH house.  By examining the 4^th HOUSE of the female’s horoscope we must find out about the chastity and her association.  If there are only benefics in these Houses, it will produce good results. If malefics are only present it will produce evil results.

Friends I need not say the importance of this verse.  While matching horoscopes these aspects are to be checked by the astrologer.  This has been explained in Varahamihira’s BRUHATH JATHAKA and all other TREATISES of eminent authorities in astrology.   

“  ll  उदयहिमकरौ द्वौ युग्मगौ सौम्यदृष्टौ

        सुतनयपतिभूषासम्पदुत्कृष्टशीला  l

        अशुभसहितदृष्टौ चौजगौ पुम्स्वभावा

        कुटिलमतिरवश्या भर्त्रुरुग्रा दरिद्रा  ll  “................२

2.   When the LAGNA and MOON (BOTH) are in even signs ( युग्म राशि ), and aspected by or associated with benefic planets (सौम्य ग्रह), the female will bear good children and get a good husband who is well mannered and good in character and well ornamented. She will be highly prosperous having good qualities. 

If both the ASCENDANT and Moon are in ODD SIGNS ( ओज राशि ). and aspected by or associated with MALEFICS (क्रूर ग्रह), the female will be masculine in bearing having wicked disposition.  She cannot be controlled by her husband and will be insincere, and cruel in nature.

She will be poor ( दरिद्र ). 

“  ll  सद्राराश्यंशयुते मदे द्युतियशोविद्यार्थवांस्तत्पति-

       र्व्यत्यस्ते कुतनुर्जटश्च कितवो निःस्वो वियोगस्तयोः  l

       आग्रेयैमदनस्थितैश्च विधवा मिश्रैः पुनर्भूर्भवेत् 

       क्रूरेष्यायुषि भर्तृहन्त्रयपि धने सन्तः स्वयं स्त्रीमृतिः  ll “..............३. 

3.    If the SEVENTH HOUSE OR SETTING NAVAAMSHA is owned by a benefic planet (सौम्य ग्रह) the female born will get a handsome, well reputed, learned and wealthy husband.

Otherwise, i.e. in the case when the husband is born in Malefic planet (क्रूर ग्रह)  in the seventh house  or the settled NAVAMSHA, will be deformed, ill reputed, deceitful, poor and remain separated.(वियोगस्तयो).  The female is destined to get remarried.

If malefic planet ( like Mars,  Sun, Saturn, dark half of Moon, Mercury when associated with or aspected by Malefic Planets, Raahu, Kethu and as per the modern astrology  uranus and Pluto ) are in 8th House in a female’s horoscope it will cause destruction to the husband. In case the Malefic planet occupy the 2nd House (धन सन्तः स्वयम् स्त्री मृति) the female will die.

“   ll  सुतस्थेऽलिस्त्रीगोहरिषु हिमगौ चाल्पतनया

         यम्यारार्काशर्क्षे मदनसदने सामयभागा  l

         सुखे पापैर्युक्ते भवति कुलटा मन्दकुजयो-

         र्गृहेंऽशे ल्ग्नेन्दू भृगुरवि च पुंश्चल्यभिहिता  ll  “..............४

4.      If in the nativity of the FEMALE, CHANDRA is in VRISHABHA, SIMHA, KANYA, OR VIRSCHIKA RASI as the 5^th HOUSE, SHE will have only limited children.

If the 7^th HOUSE or SETTING NAVAMSA belongs to SHANI OR KUJA i.e. CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS or ARIES, SCORPIO ( मकर. कुंभ , अथवा वृषभ, वृश्चिक राशि ) she will have a diseased sexual organ. 

If 4^th HOUSE is occupied by MALEFIC PLANETS (क्रूर ग्रह) the female will be unchaste or will be a concubine. (कुलट).

When the ASCENDANT (लग्न), MOON (चन्द्र) and VENUS (शुक्र) are in a RAASI CHAKRA OR NAVAMSHA CHAKRA situate in the HOUSES of MARS OR SATURN ( कुज अथवा शनि) the female will be a prostitute (पुंश्चल).

“  ll  शुभक्षेत्रांशेऽस्ते सुभगजघाना मङ्गलवति  

        विधोःसत्संबन्धेऽप्युदयसुखायोः साध्व्यतिगुणा  l

        त्रिकोणे सौभ्याश्चेत्सुखसुतसंपन्द्रुणवति

        बलोनाःक्रूरश्चेद्यदि भवति वन्ध्या मृतसुता  ll  “.................५.

5.   When the 7^th HOUSE and setting Navamsa belong to benefic planets (सौम्य ग्रह), the female will possess handsome hips and highly fortunate (मङ्गलवति).

When CHANDRA, ASCENDANT (लग्न) and the 4TH HOUSE are connected due toLORDSHIP, CONJUNCTION OR BY ASPECTING EACH OTHER, the female concerned will be chaste and possess good qualities.

If benefics are positioned in TRINES (तृकोण) the female will be happy, bear good children, wealthy and possess excellent qualities. 

However, if the trines are occupied by MALEFICS ( क्रूर ग्रह ) the female will be a barren or will give birth to still born children or will die during childhood.

“  ll  चन्द्रे भौमगृहे कुजादिकथितात्रिंशांशकेषु क्रमात्

       दुष्टा दास्यसती सुशीलविभवा मायाविनी दूषणी  l

       ज्ञर्क्षे छद्मवति नपुंसकसमा साध्वी गुणोन्योत्सुका ll  “..............६.

6.    Ascertain first whether MOON or ASCENDANTis stronger.  If the one which is stronger if in the HOUSE OF MARS.(i) The Female born in the THRIMSAMSA of KUJA will be cruel (दुष्ट) ,  (as written by Maharshi PARASARA will have illicit relationship with a man before marriage  )   

and in the (ii)  THRIMSAMSA OF SATURN she will be a servant Maid, menial or slave.

(iii) If in the THRIMSAMSA OF GURU , she will be worthy and virtuous,

( iv) In the THRIMSAMSA of BUDHA ( MERCURY), she will be deceiptful ( and as per PARASARA,  she will be full of guile and adept in conjuration )

and (v)  if in the THRIMSAMSA of VENUS (Shukra) She will be frail. ( As per Maharsh Parasara she will be unchaste after marriage )

  If the Moon or Ascendant whichever is stronger is  in VRISHABHA or LIBRA and in the (i)     

  THRIMSAMSA of Mars, she will be of questionable character  (ii) She will have a second   

  husband if SATURN is the THRIMSAMSA (iii) if it happens to be in  the THRISAMSA of GURU

She will be respected (iv) In the THRIMSAMSA OF BUDHA she will be highly learned and in the (v) THRIMSAMSA OF SHUKRA she will be very famous.

If MOON OR THE ASCENDANT and whichever is stronger is positioned in MITHUNA OR KANYA ,(i) In  the  THRIMSAMSA Of KUJA , she will be deceitful, (ii) and in theTHRIMSAMSA of SHANI she will be a EUNUCH (iii) in the THRIMSAMSA OF GURU she will be CHASTE (iv) in the THRIMSAMSA of BUDHA, she will be endowed with all GOOD QUALITIES and (v) She will be repining if SHUKRA happens to be in the THRIMSAMSA.

“  ll  स्वछन्दा भर्तृघातिमहित्रगुणा शिल्पिनी साधुवृत्ता

        दुर्भार्या हीनवृत्ता धरणिपति वधूः पुंविवेष्टान्यसक्ता  ll  “..............७

7.      If CHANDRA situates in its own House (CANCER) ( कर्क्कटक ), (i) in the THRIMSAMSA of KUJA she will be self willed and cannot be controlled,(ii) in the THRIMSAMSA of SATURN (मन्द) She is likely to kill her husband (iii) in the THRIMSAMSA of GURU she will possess distinguished qualities, (iv) and in the THRIMSASA of BUDHA she will be skilled in ARTS,(v) and in the THRIMSAMSA of SHUKRA she will be virtuous. 

If CHANDRA occupies DHANUS OR MEENA in theTHRIMSAMSA OF KUJA, she will be a servant maid, IN THE THRIMSAMSA OF SATURN (मन्द) , she will be fond of other persons than her husband,  in the THRIMSAMSA of GURU , she will have many good qualities, in the THRIMSAMSA OF BUDHA she will be skilled in arts and in the THRIMSAMSA of VENUS (शुक्र), she will be very chaste.

When the MOON or Lagna Which ever is stronger,  is posited in the in the A Houses of SATURN, the effect in the THRIMSAMSA OF (i)  Mars (अङ्गारक)  is the Female will be Servant maid,(ii)  In the SATURN (मन्द) the female will like all others than her husband (PROSTITUTE), (iii)  in the Houses of GURU she will be kepping her husband under her control; (iv) in the Houses as Thrimsamsa she will not have chastity, and (v) she will be Poor and issueless in the THRIMSAMSA of SHUKRA.

In the same manner if Moon or Lagna, whichever is Stronger is in SIMHA, in the THRIMSAMSA of Mars (अङ्गारक) She will be a wicked wife, in Saturn (मन्द) she will possess a loose character, (iii) in the Houses of GURU as Thrimsamsa she will become the wife of a Land Lord or KING (iv)  in the Houses of BUDHA in THRIMSAMSA, she will masculine qualities and (v) in the Houses of SHUKRA as Thrimamsa she will be attached to a person other than her husband.(CONCUMBINE).

“   ll  शशिलग्नसमायुक्तेः फलं त्रिम्षांशकैरिदम्  l

         बलाबलविकल्पेन तयोरिवं विचिन्तयेत्  ll  “..............८.

8.      The meaning of the above stanza is that after ascertaining the strength of MOON and ASCENDANT we must check the THRIMSAMSA of that which has more strength.

“  ll  ज्येष्ठभ्रातारमम्बीकां` च पितरं भर्त्रुः कानिष्ठं क्रमात्

        ज्येष्ठा ह्यासुरशूर्पजाश्र्च वनिताघ्रान्तिति तज्ज्ञा विदुः  l

9,   The Elder brother of the husband, mother-in-law, Father-in-law. younger brother of the husband will soon after the marriage will die if the girl is born in the constellations of JYESTA, ASLESHA, MOOLA and VISHAAKHA in the same order as given respectively. (மூலத்து மாமியார் முக்கிலே, ஆய்ல்யத்து மாமியார் ஆசநதீலே, കേട്ട എട്ടനാവില്ല, വിശാഖം അനുജനാവില്ല – In Tamil and Malayalam these are all commonly said.  (My opinion is that all constellations are GOOD.). Again Manthreswara says that If the wife is born in the constellations

JYESHTA, SHATHABHISHAK, MOOLA, KRITHIKA and PUSHYA will be barren, will become widows, will bear dead children, will be divorced by the husbands or will make the family pooras in the same order given for the constellations.( I do not believe in this and this is my personal opinion ),

“  ll  चन्द्रास्तोदयभाग्यपाःसह शुभैः सुस्थानगा भास्वराः

      पूज्या बन्धुषु पुण्यकर्मकुशला सौन्दर्यभाग्यान्वित  l

      तावद्भाति सुमङ्गली च सुतनुर्यावच्छुभाढ्येऽष्टमे  ll  “...................१०.

10.      From the MOON if the Lord of the 7th HOUSE, the 9th HOUSE, if associated with benefic planets (सौम्य ग्रह) are in GOOD HOUSES having brilliant rays (NOT COMBUST )the woman will be held in high esteems by her relatives. Her deeds will be very good, and she will be good looking and highly prosperous.  She will please her husband and will bear good children and highly virtuous.  However, the period of this happy life will depend on the strength derived from the 8th HOUSE, through benefics and their aspects and association.

“  ll  शीतज्योतिषि योषितोऽनुपचयस्थाने कुजेनेक्षिते

        जातं गर्भफलप्रदं खलु रजःस्यादन्यथा निष्फलम्  l

        दृष्टेऽस्मिन् गुरुणा निजोपचयगे कुर्यात्रीषेकं पुमान्

ll  इतिमनत्रेश्वर विरचितायां फलदीपिकायां स्त्रीजातको नाम एकादशोऽद्धाय  ll

11.  When a girl’s periods starts Moon is in  anupachaya i.e. other than 3^rd 6^th, 10^th and 11^th Houses , and MARS (अङ्गारक) aspects (दृष्टि) the Moon then the lady will have conception or it is not favourable for conception. The ovum is to be fertilized by the husband”s sperm when  the MOON is in Oopachaya i.e. 3^rd, 6^th, 10^th and 11^th Houses aspected by GURU with respect to the nativity of the female. This is to be done in an auspicious ASCENDANT with many good points in its favour  when malefics do not show any ill effects in favour and unconnected with parva ( in PARVA KALA the malefics will not show any ill effects ) and other objectionable period of time.

“ THUS ENDS the ELEVENTH CHAPTER ON ‘WOMEN HOROSCOPY’ IN PHALADEEPIKA

                                         COMPOSED BY MANTHRESWARA.

Friends, this chapter is very important since I find many people go to an astrologer for COMPATIBILITY HOROSCPES between male and female for marriage or when people are in distress.  : P.R.R.

1.      If 5^th and 7^th Houses from the Ascendant or Moon are associated or aspected by benefics or their own Lords then the person will flourish.  If not then 5^th and 7^th houses will not bear any fruit.

If malefics are positioned in 12th 4th or 8th Houses, or if VENUS (शुक्र) is hemmed between or associated with Malefics  then loss of wife is predicted.

“  ll दारेशे सुतगे प्रणप्टवनितोऽपुत्रोऽथवा धीश्वरो

2.   When Lord of the seventh House is in the fifth house the Native’s wife will die or may not have children. The wife will surely die  if the Lord of the 5th or 8th House is in the 7th House.If the Moon is weak and occupy the 7th House and the malefics occupy the 12th 7th and the Ascendant, theNative will be deprived of his wife and children. If the Dragon’s Head or Sun (राहु अथवा रवि) occupy the 7th House the person will kose all his wealth due to his association with women. (स्त्रीसंग).

“  ll  शुक्रे वृश्चिकगो  मते मृतवधू: कामे वृषस्थे बुधे

3.     When SHUKRA (Venus) is Vrischika Raasi (Scorpio) which happens to be the 7^th Sign (Raasi), the wife of the native will die. If BUDHA (Mercury) in VRISHABHA (Taurus) and if it happens to be the 7^th House. The result will be the same. The effect will be the same if when GURU (Jupiter) is in the 7^th House which happens to be its debilitation house i.e. MAKARA (CAPRICORN), or if MEENA (Pisces) becomes the seventh house for KUJA (Mars) or SANI (Saturn).  But if KUJA and SANI are in the 7^th HOUSE which happens to be KARKKATAKA (CANCER), the Native will marry a beautiful and also who possesses good character, chaste and fortunate.

“  ll  अस्ते वास्तपतावसद्रेहयुते द्दटेऽप्यसन्मध्यागे

4.  The Native will lose his wife certainly (by death, by divorce or separation – PRR) if the 7^th HOUSE from LAGNA is associated with, or aspected by malefics or hemmed between malefics or debilitated or eclipsed by the rays of the SUN.  If SHUKRA is associated or in conjunction with a malefic and occupy the 7^th, 5^th or 9^th HOUSE the native will have a crippled wife or will be deprived of his wife

If SHUKRA is in association of KUJA or SANI or in their varga or aspected by the said planets, the Native will have illicit relationship with other women than his own wife. (Or prostitutes – PRR. Since I find  written as PARASTHREE (परस्त्री)) .

“  ll  भौमार्क्यस्ते भृगुजशशिनोर्दारहीनोऽसुतो वा

5.  If CHANDRA and SHUKRA are opposed by KUJA and SHANI in any male’s horoscope the person either will not get married or his wife will be a barren lady. When a eunuch ( neither male or female) planet in other words HERMAPHRODATE is in the 7^th house (Persons who have Saturn or Mercury aspecting the body or in its conjunction will have this defect – BRUHAT JATHAKA TRANSLATED BY Brahma Shri B. SURYANARAYANA RAO) BODY is the 1^st House I,e.  LAGNA-PRR.,  , and  the 11^th house is occupied by two planets, the native will have two wives. The number of wives should be ascertained by the Astrologer from the number of planets which are in conjunction with the HERMAPHRODATES and the LORD OF THE 7^TH HOUSE and SHUKRA. 

“  ll स्त्रीसंख्यां मदगैर्ग्रहैर्मृतिमासत्खेटैश्च सद्भिः स्थितिं

6.   It is through the 7^th house the astrologer has to find out the number of women with whom a man will have association.  Among them, the number of women who will die earlier will be equal to number of malefics and who will survive will be equal to the benefics.

The nature of wife if of good character and whether she will bear good children will depend on the strength of the benefic planets.

If the owner of the 7^th house even if it is a malefic planet remains in 7^th House itself will give the native with a good wife.

Benefics in the 7^th House unless they are the lords of 6^th, 8^th and 12^th House, will give good results.

“  ll भार्यानाशस्त्वशुभसहितौ वीक्षितौ वार्थकामौ

       सौम्यैदृष्टे सति शुभयुते दंपति भाग्यवन्तौ  ll  “............७.

7.  The Native will lose his wife if the 2^nd and 7^th house are either associated with or aspected by malefics. The result will be definitely adverse if a malefic aspects.

The same case is applicable to a woman if 7^th and 8^th Houses are afflicted.

However, if benefics are associated with or aspect the 2^nd and 7^th  HH Houses the couple will have all comforts and fortune.

        नीचारीभस्थैरशुभैर्मदे स्त्रीपुंसोर्मृतिः स्यात्रिधने धने वा   ll  “...........८.

8.  If Chandra and Shani  (MOON & SATURN) are placed together in the 7^th House in a female’s horoscope, she will have a second marriage and if it is a male he will be either wifeless or childless.

The positioning of Malefics in debilitation in the 2^nd, 7^th or 8^th house will indicate the death of wife or husband as the case may be.

9.    When the 7th House is in an EVEN SIGN from the ASCENDANT (लग्न) and if the Lord of the 7^th House and SHUKRA are also  in EVEN SIGNS (युग्म राशि)  and if the Lords of the 5^th and 7^th Signs have all their powers and without being eclipsed by the SUN’S rays (सूर्याभितन्त रहिते),  the person with such a horoscope will surely have wife and children.

10.  If the planets owning 2nd 7th and 5th Houses are aspected by GURU and reside in  a TRINE or QUADRANT or if the benefics are posited in the 2nd  , 7th or 11th Houses from the owner of the 7th House,  the wife will live happily  with children.(कलत्रं ससुतं सुखाढ्यम्).

11.  Find the Sign  and 1/9th division (नवांश) occupied by the lords of 1st and 7th Houses of the male’s nativity.  The Moon’s sign (जन्मराशि) of the female (wife) will be a sign which is a Quadrant or a trine of the said Sign (राशि) ; It may also be in a sign of exaltation or depression of the Lords of the 1st and 7th HOUSES; It may also contain the maximum amount of benefic dots to the MOON’S ASHTAKA VARGA ( चन्द्राष्टवर्ग) of the male.
