Dear Kanupriya,

>I would appreciate any refrences, reading

>material or guidance on this topic.

Please see the later chapters of Jaimini Upadesa Sutras by Sanjay Rath. It

has a lot of info on what to avoid in nisheka lagna charts. Especially

avoid Moon's conjunction with malefics in 4th or 9th house.

The aspect of Jupiter on Saturn in 2nd or trines from Shodya Rasi is also

very bad.

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|

Dear Kanupriya,

Sorry for the delay in my mail.Here are my views about Nisheka Lagna Muhurta and its details as per Muhurta Classics :

MARRIAGE- NISHEKA (FIRST SEXUAL UNION)

Nakshatra :

Rohini, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Svati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttarashadha, Sravana, Satabhisha, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati are favorable. Ashvini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Chitra, and Dhanishta are middling. The remaining should be avoided.

Tara :

The Janma Nakshatra and the 10th and 19th from there should particularly be avoided.

Tithi :

All Tithis except the 4th, 8th, 9th, 14th and 15th are favorable.

Vara :

Avoid the Varas of malefics.

Lagna :

Vrishabha, Mithuna, Kataka, Simha, Kanya, Tula and Meena are favorable while the others should be avoided. If there is no planet in the 8th house, then Dhanu and Kumbha are okay.

Navamsha: The Navamshas of the Chandra, Budha, Guru and Shukra are favorable, while those of Shani, Kuja and the Surya should be avoided.

Bhavas :

The Lagna and 8th should be unoccupied. (Some astrologers emphasize that the Lagna must not be occupied, others emphasize that the 8th should be vacant. A malefic should certainly not be in the Lagna, and as a general rule the 8th shouldbe unoccupied.)

The 7th House determines the nature of the intercourse. Malefics influencing indicate that the union will be consummated under, or after quarrelling. Benefics influencing indicate that the union will be happy. The sexual union resembles the Rashi of the 7th.

Other Informations :

Intercourse during the first four days of menses, during which the woman is bleeding, is said to lead to serious ill effects. The first day proves fatal to the husband; the second day affects the longevity of the woman; the third day causes abortion; the fourth day produces a poor, stupid, houseless, miserable and short-lived son bereft of good habits, and impairs the vital energy of the father.

According to Kalaprakasika: "The bedchamber should be in a comfortable place decorated and kept fragrant with sandalwood, flowers etc, and provided with water taken from sacred rivers. Above all, there should be nothing to disturb the peace of mind of the couple."

Menses: If the woman's menses begins while the Moon is in an Anupachaya (Houses other than 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) aspected by or joined with Kuja, the menses can result in conception. If menses occurs when the Chandra is in an Upachaya, conception is not likely to occur.

Ritu Dina (Days of the Woman's Menstrual Cycle)

Sexual intercourse during each of the sixteen days from the first day of the menstrual period is said to have a specific effect. Intercourse during odd days tends to create female children, on even days male children.

Intercourse during the first four days of menses, during which the woman is bleeding, is said to lead to serious ill effects. The first day proves fatal to the husband; the second day affects the longevity of the woman; the third day causes abortion; the fourth day produces a poor, stupid, houseless, miserable and short-lived son bereft of good habits, and impairs the vital energy of the father.

Intercourse on the fifth day gives birth to a daughter; the sixth day favors a son who promotes posterity; the seventh day brings forth a daughter who will not bear children; the eighth day gives birth to a noble son; the ninth day gives birth to a wicked girl; the tenth day promises a praiseworthy son; the eleventh day gives birth to an unrighteous girl; the twelfth day grants a virtuous son; the thirteenth day grants a virtuous daughter; the fourteenth gives birth to a son rich in grains and gold; the fifteenth day brings forth a daughter that will not live long; and the sixteenth day gives birth to a son of all-embracing intelligence. Sexual union should be indulged in only on days that bear favorable results so that the progeny may be noble.

Planetary Lords of the Months of Pregnancy

A particular planet rules each month of pregnancy, and during each month different primary development occurs:

Month Lord Primary Development

1st Month Shukra Union of sperm and ovum

2nd Month Kuja Solidification of embryo

3rd Month Guru Sprouting of organs and body parts

4th Month Surya Bone formation

5th Month Chandra Skin formation

6th Month Shani Hair

7th Month Budha Sensation

8th Month Lagna Lord Hunger and thirst

9th Month Chandra Desire to leave the womb

10th Month Surya Prasava (delivery)

In the 1st month, union of the male fluid and female fluid take place; this is the most "liquid" state that the embryo will be in. Shukra rules the sperm and fluids in the body and thus Venus rules this first month. In the 2nd month the embryo solidifies into a fetus, and becomes a compact mass with all of its organs minutely formed. Kuja rules this small, contracted mass. In the 3rd month the organs and limbs sprout to more significant proportions and the sex of the child is determined. Guru rules this month during which the compact mass begins to first significantly expand. During the 4th month bone formation is primary, rule by the Surya, the lord of the bones. In the 5th month, governed by the Chandra, the skin surrounding the organs and the body form, resulting in greater self-consciousness. In the 6th month hair growth is

significant and the nervous system leading to the skin is fully developed. Shani, lord of nerves, rules the 6th month. In the 7th month, ruled by Budha, the fetus becomes sensitive to its surroundings and begins to cognize. In the 8th month the infant becomes very aware of the sensation of hunger and thirst, takes more in through the umbilical cord and begins the final huge growth spurt. The 8th month is ruled by the Lagna lord, the lord of the body, which is then growing rapidly. In the 9th month, ruled by the Chandra, there is excitement, movement and the desire to leave the womb, and in the 10th month, ruled by the Surya, the fetus separates from its mother and individuality is born.

The months of which the lords are weak or afflicted become difficult months in the pregnancy, and the months during which abortion may occur. Planets most like to cause miscarriage are those weak, combust or afflicted by malefics and in a malefic Rashi, inimical Rashi, debilitation, or with a malefic in the Navamsha If a planet is weak at the time of impregnation, then the development that occurs in its month will be low, or problematic. From the third month onwards the woman develops tastes to eat according to the disposition of the monthly lords.

(The more of these indications the better the pregnancy.)

Some sources require the birth to be during the daytime for the Surya and Chandra in mutual aspect to give a eunuch, and for the birth to be in the night time for Shani and Budha in mutual aspect to give birth to a eunuch.

31. Shani and Kuja in their own Navamshas, or on angles, or in the Navamhsa of the Lagna and the Chandra, or if they are aspecting the Lagna and the Chandra, indicate a eunuch. If Shani and Budha are in male Rashis and Navamshas the eunuch will have a male form, if in even Rashis and Navamshas a female form.

I hope this helps you.

Om Dakshinamurtaye Namah

Dear Gurus,

I have often being asked by couples about the best time to conceive a baby.Offcourse I doubt one can control this but this makes me think of the Nishekha Lagna.How does one select this chart? Are the general Mahurata rules applied? In this case Jupiter being the karayesh should be strong, 5th house should be empty and no planets in the 8th house.What other principles does one apply? What about the Tithi? I would appreciate any refrences, reading material or guidance on this topic.

Thanking you.

Best Regards,

Kanupriya.

Om Dakshinamurtaye Namah

Dear Guruji,

Thankyou very much for this huge help.I am writing something on this topic and also studying a few charts.I have written a few lines about the significance of this chart.I request all the Gurus to please read below and correct any mistakes.I will present the whole article once I am done.Thankyou again.

Best Regards,

Kanupriya.

Nishekha Lagna

The Natal Chart is drawn from the moment of the native’s birth as this is the first moment of the independent existence of the lagna and will indicate about the native’s physical health and comforts in this abode. So is this the first moment of the birth of a new soul in this world? The Bhagwat Geeta states that the ‘Atma never dies and is part of the Para atma with the difference being that the ‘Jeeva’ is attached to the atma. We in this abode are thus driven by the Jeeva shakti which helps us identify ourselves. The ‘I’ constantly drive us as long as we live but who is this ‘I’? When we feel depressed or angry there is a voice in our heads telling us at times, ’No point being this angry, do not be rash’ if the ‘I’ is angry then who is the guiding voice? Perhaps there is more to this ‘I’.

As per the Bhagwat Geeta our ‘I’ consists of:

· Atma-Soul

· Indriyas –Senses

· Mana-Mind

· Buddhi- Intellegence

As we experience life this perception of life changes or shifts from any of the above ‘I’ s. The illusions created drive us and we live in the cycle of various births. It is this cycle of re-birth that connects everything we do and our own actions and reactions become the Karmic pattern or cycle.

We take several births as we move through the different stages of evolution with in this cycle.

Hence each human being born is a soul that has come back with its own karmic pattern. The moment of the real birth in the mrtyu loka is the moment the soul becomes a ‘Jeeva atma’ and enters a mother’s womb. This moment is the first moment of existence. This is the moment of the conception. The chart drawn for this moment is called the Adhana or the conception Chart.

The parents we are born to is naturally as per our own karmic patterns and cycles. The couple seeking a child will also conceive the child as per their own karmic cycle.

The sages understood the importance of this one moment of conception. In the ancient times when the nations had to be ruled by that one King and the birth of a good healthy prince was crucial these charts had a key role. Kings and queens seeked the guidance of the Maharishis of their Kula to come together at an auspicious moment so that a perfect ruler can be born.

This lead to a further study and the moment of the coming together of the parents became very important. The King would appoint the Kula gurus to calculate that moment that lead to a fruitful conception of a baby. At times the calculations had to be made so that a male heir was born. The chart drawn for this auspicious moment of inter course is called the Nishekha Lagna.
