will indicate the total number of brothers/sisters a native will have. o
Divide the particular dwadasamsa occupied by the planet named above into as many sub-divisions as the number of brothers -5-
indicated and determine how many such sub-divisions the planet has actually covered and how many remaining to be covered. The sub-divisions already covered denote the elder brothers/sisters and those yet to be covered by the planet, younger ones. Example : Assuming Mars as the indicator for brothers in a certain horoscope and that Mars is at 26 deg. 16 mins. Capricorn. Since Mars has covered 10 dwadasamsa, 10 brothers are indicated. In the 11th dwadsamsa (wherein Mars is standing), 4/10th has already been covered indicating 4 elder brothers and 6/10th yet to be covered, indicating 6 younger brothers. As the procedure outlined above is something unusual and there may be orthodox students of astrology who may want to verify the authority, we quote below the relevant sloka, so that, in the event of a different interpretation being justifiable, those better equipped in the field of astrology will be able to guide the public and researchers :Brathru nadha tad yukta kaarakaanaam balituyaha Tad bukta dwadasamsena brathru sankhya vinirdiseth jyeshta buktamsaka gneya bogyamsasthu kanishtakaha The longevity and prosperity of siblings will be dependent on the nature of dwadasamsas covered; sex is also determined from the same dwadasamsa.

Mars Contacts with women in menses Mercury Barren women Jupiter Brahmin women Venus Women of questionable character Saturn Women in menses & low class girls Gulika ............. do ................. Rahu ...............do.................. Ketu ...............do..................

In the face of a well-placed Venus (powerful) in the horoscope, Angaraka Dosha will pale into insignificance. So also, if the 7th and its lord are strong, Angaraka Dosha may not do any harm. Here the 7th/7th lord from Venus is considered. Jupiter in 7th indicates long married life.

If both the husband and wife possess Angaraka Dosha, no evil effects will arise, and there will be no widowhood.
Failing availability of a horoscope with Angaraka Dosha for the boy or girl with this evil for matrimonial alliance, appropriate shanti according to Shastra for Kuja Dosha may be performed to ward off this evil. Mars posited in Taurus/Libra will not cause Kuja Dosha, irrespective of the bhava occupied. This needs checking up. Will researchers help ??? o

Note : Double or treble this figure as necessary according to times and community to which the native belongs.
- 17 -
o
o

o
Prosperity of a native would be dependent on the strength of lord of 9th from Ascendant/Moon/Sun, whichever is strong. Future prosperity and luck which contribute to taking the native to Heaven are dependent on the strength of lord 9th, lord of Ascendant & Moon. If the said 3 planets are powerful and stand in 9th, it can be taken for granted that a berth in Heaven has been reserved for the native, whilst his prosperity on this plane will be much more than average.
