Ovulation, Menstrual cycle and conception in astrology

  1. The ovulation and menstrual cycles are caused by moon and mars. Moon is a watery planet and Mars is fiery by nature. Their combination makes pittha the rajas (ovum).

 

  1. When the transit moon is placed in an upachaya rasi from the chandra rasi of the woman the uterus is unclean and insemination at that time will not yield pregnancy.

 

  1. The moon placed in a non upachaya rasi should also be aspected by mars.

 

  1. The man should have a transit moon placed in an upachaya rasi aspected by a benefic male planet (Guru).

 

  1. The woman must be in her rutu period (ie:- 16 days form the first day of the menstrual cycle.)

 

  1. Pregnancy occurs under the above circumstances if there is no hindrance due to past karma and the man’s and woman’s reproductive health is fine. The above are the conditions for normal conception.

 

  1. If there is a problem in ovulation or menstruation due  to prarabdha karma chandra and mars should be essentially propitiated.

 

  1. If the problem does not have its roots in past karma it should be treated with medicine.

 

  1. This makes 3 clear points. The ovum not getting fertilized during a cycle can be due to – Unfavourable positions of moon and/or mars, Past karma, Health grounds.

KAKSHYA THEORY IN ASTAKAVARGA

Kakshya is an important concept in ashtakavarga and is specially applied for pin-pointing the results of transit of planets to a very narrow time period.

In prastara ashtakavarga we have seen that each sign receives benefic points from 8 sources, the 7 planets and ascendant. Thus each sign is divided into 8 parts and each part is called Kakshya. Each Kakshya is ruled by a particular planet and the order of Kakshya lords are Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon and Ascendant. The order of Kakshya lords are in their relative speed in the zodiac starting from Saturn. As the extent of each rasi is 30 degrees, the extent of each Kakshya is 3 degrees 45 minutes.

The number of benefic points in a sign in BAV is the sum total of single bindus contributed by each planet. Prastara ashtakavarga revels which planet has contributed a bindu and which has not.

Principles of Kakshya application:

When a planet transits a sign having high number of bindus in its own BAV gives benefic results pertaining to the house corresponding to the sign.

If the planet is transiting in a Kakshya which is having a bindu, then the auspicious results of the house corresponding to that sign will take place.

When more than one planet are simultaneously transiting in a kakshya having bindu, increasingly goodresults may be predicted.

Conversely, when more planets are transiting in a kakshya having no bindu, such a period may be devastating, specially if the dasa is not favourable.

When the transiting planet and the kakshya lords are friends the results are good.

The transit analysis is more useful for slow moving planets. The average time taken by planets to transit over a kakshya is approximately as follows.

Sun                 3.8 days                     Jupiter            45 days

Moon              6.8 hours                    Venus             3 days

Mars               5 days                         Saturn             112 days

Mercury         2.5 days                     Rahu               70.8 days

 

SadeSathi: Sadesati is the period when Saturn is transiting in the 12th,1st and 2nd houses from natal Moon. It is commonly considered as dreaded period with troubles and turmoils. But when ever Saturn transits over a kakshya having bindu, in Saturn’s BAV, the results are favourable.

Dasa: Find out the kakshya occupied by these dasa lords in the natal chart. If the kakshya lord has contributed a bindu in the respective dasa lord’s BAV in the sign occupied by dasa lord in the natal chart, then the dasa lord will give benefic results.

Dasalord’s transit: Find out in which kakshya the dasa lord is transiting at present and if the kakshya is having a bindu, the dasa lord will give benefic results.
