Female chart -

[Guest guest]

Q: Is there any difference in the male and female chart in Astrology? If so, how

to read a female chart?….Dharani, Doha.

 

Yes. There is deference in readings. This difference is discussed in length in

‘Varaha’s Hora Satra’ by Ilingan and detailed with sonnets by a great scholar

Vidvan Adikalasiriar. (Book published now by Saraswathi Mahal Library Tanjore,

initiated by Sarabhoji Maharaja who ruled Tanjore). I will be pleased to give

some out of many of relevant details below:

Women in constitution, structure, thought, reasoning, and in health differ from

man

(‘wooed by man is a woman). They have added sickness/discomfort to suffer in

life for child birth, and related feminine health based conditions. They also

have mind based problems in ‘compatibility’ with man, as also the future of

existence in dependence /independence in all walks of life. The third is their

involvement with concern to build the ‘nest’ of family.

Some related guide lines are taken into consideration from Manteeswaras’s Phala

Deepika, ‘Jathakalankara’, ‘Hora Sara’, ‘Mangaleeswaryam’, ‘Saaraavalli’, and

‘Jathaka Chinthamani”, in compiling this article.

( I consider that this article is read by those who have basic knowledge in

Astrology as also familiar with the terms used by Astrologers)At the outset, it

is to be understood by all, that preparation and methods of calculations are

same for making Birth Charts for, both Man and Woman. As such, all

interpretations of Planetary positions in Birth Charts as well as in daily

movements, are same. However, there are special interpretations in Hindu (Vedic)

Astrology for women too.

Health and growth of a woman is determined by the position of the Moon and The

lagna of the birth Chart. - Personality, beauty and habits

Pointers to guide to decide on the above in a Birth Chart of a woman:

(a) If Chandra lagna and Janma lagna are in the EVEN Sign house (Rishaba,

Kataka, Kanni, Vruchika, Makara or Meena), that female will be with pleasant

manners and will possess ornaments.

(b) If Jupiter, Waxing Moon, Mercury not associated/afflicted by depleted

Planets or afflicted stars, or not in aspect of malefic Planets, in a birth

chart, she will be beautiful with vivacious look, pleasant manners, cool

thinker, generous in nature, considerate and wears many attractive and precious

jewels.

( c) If Chandra and Janma lagna are in the ODD sign house (Mesha, Mithuna,

Simha, Thula, Dhanush, or Kumba) she would look more of a masculine in

appearance, and behave with authority and firmness like a man.

(d) If any or more malefic Planets aspect the Lagna (Odd sign) and the position

of Moon (Odd sign), she will do all that is not expected of a woman in general,

and will have vindictive and bad behaviors.

(e) If Lagna and Chandra are severally and individually be in aspect of a

‘bhandu, mithra’ Planet (Moon is friendly to Sun and Mercury; and neutral to

other planets except Rahu and Ketu) and Moon is in the Star Zone of the listed

Planets, she will have exemplary character, devotion to spouse and children,

reverence to all elders and affection and friendly to help needy.

(f) If Moon is positioned in an EVEN house, and that is in Lagna in the birth

chart, and have aspect from good Planets (Jupiter, Venus, and not afflicted

Mercury) she will get a husband with excellent, dedicated, adorable, kind, well

educated, hard working, honest, eloquent in many ways, contributive and with

handsome personality. She will also beget intelligent, shrewd, smart, and bright

children to her success in life.

(g) If Moon is positioned in an ODD house, and in Lagna in the birth chart, and

in aspect of any malefic Planet or Planets (Saturn, Mars, afflicted Mercury,

badly positioned Sun - in Thula, Rahu or Ketu, she will behave like a man, think

evil, indiscipline and not obeying husband or elders, while failing in planning

with haste and self belief (without basic foundation for such thought), wasting

time in criticizing others, inviting quarrels for flimsy events, irrational,

leading to wants all time in life. Ref (Paldeepika Ch11-2; and this is supported

in sl.860 in ’Jathakalankara’ too)Now it is necessary to study the chart

prepared as “Trimshamsha

1. (Sl 327) Find where Mars is in Birth chart. Then refer the ‘Thrishamsha’

chart. Take the house of Mars and in chart ‘Trimshamsha’ to find that The Moon

or Lagna is in the Mars house of Mesha or Scorpio in ‘Thrishamsha’ then that

woman will live with blemish in society.

If Saturn is in that house (instead Moon or Lagna) she will live with more men

than one person. She could be a servant, even born in high rated family, and

indulge in petty bad quality acts and get punishment.

If Jupiter in that house (instead of three Planets mentioned above) She will be

of high virtue and dedicated to husband and family with extreme piety. She will

be adorned by her husband. She will beget famous children. She will be

extravagance in expenses.

If Mercury is in that house (except all the above) she will be very cunning lady

with tricky attitudes, while deceitful (Kanyeva dushta). She may not be

hygienically clean. She may not have children.

If Mars occupy that house exclusively, she will be easily forgotten by the near

and dear and all for her unpleasant life. She may beget a still born child.

If Venus occupy that house exclusively, she will get charming girl as her

daughter and will posses ‘take it easy’ type of attitude.” - that is 1/30th of

the Birth chart, where each Degree will be a house of a birth chart house. This

is necessary to study the remaining verses on “Stree” Jathaka interpretations.

(“ORACHARA” - Ch 25 -6,7,8 & 9) also (Jathaka Alankara Sl.873)2. The 7th house

from Lagna, as well as, the position of the Moon, will point to husband’s

prosperity - wealth, and living status and conditions.

3. The ‘end’ of husband will be indicated by referring to the 8th house of lagna

in the birth chart of a woman. -’Mangalya Bhala’

4. With the study of the 5th house, the related benefits from children - ‘Puthra

Sowkyam’

5. The 9th house of the birth chart of a woman will indicate the issue of a male

child.This is a very lengthy subject, and it could not be contained in one

installment. However, I have attempted to establish that reading of a female

horoscope, consists of analysis which are exclusive to that sex and astrologers

will have to study in depth before arriving for conclusions.
