A Gender Determination Technique C.Kadirvelu March 12, 2005
Introduction KP literature contains various rules or determinin! the !ender o a native"s child. #ne such rule is$ %Take %Take the 5th cuspal sublord (for 1 st child). If it is posited in a male sign, the child will be male, and if it is in a female sign, it will be female.& female.& A variation o this rule th is$ %Take %Take the sublord of 5 cuspal sublord. If it is posited in a male sign, the child will be male, and if it is in a female sign, it will be female.& female.& 'et another rule is$ %%Take Take the th starlord of the sublord of 5 cuspal sublord. If it is posited in a male sign, the child will be male, and if it is in a female sign, it will be female.& female.& Althou!h (e are (illin! to acce)t that multi)le rules could theoreticall* *ield the correct result, it is diicult to +elieve that all the a+ove three rules could simultaneousl* simultaneousl* +e correct. These are not the onl* rules quoted in the contet o determinin! the !ender o a native"s child. There are several more, +ut sadl*, not ever* rule a))ears to +e always applicable. applicable. - a rule is not al(a*s a))lica+le, then it is diicult to rel* on such a rule to !ive a correct )rediction. -nstead o asin!, % How can one determine the gender of a natie!s child"& child"& i the question is re)hrased as, %#ien %#ien that a particular cusp represents a blood relatie of a natie, how can one determine the gender of that relatie"& relatie"& the question +ecomes much more !eneral and a rule that ans(ers this !eneral question (ill +e etremel* valua+le. -n act, such a technique, as (e (ill sho( later, can even assist in +irth time rectiication.
A New Gender Determination Rule /et us start (ith the irst o the three rules mentioned earlier$ %Tae the 5 th cus)al su+lord or 1st child. - it is )osited in a male si!n, the child (ill +e male, and i it is in a emale si!n, it (ill +e emale.& -n our e)eriment, this rule ailed misera+l* (hen a))lied on over a thousand sam)les (here the +irth time (as no(n to +e correct to (ithin 1 minute.
