"The learned should deduce from Putra Bhava:

• amulets, sacred spells,

• learning, knowledge,

• sons,

• royalty (or authority),

• fall of position etc."

Sons [children], intellect, mantraa,

faith in God, heart, and maternal uncles

be deduced from the fifth house.

"The learned should deduce from Putra Bhava:

amulets, sacred spells, learning, knowledge, sons,

royalty (or authority), fall of position, etc.." [8th from 10th]

"If Dhana's lord is in Putra Bhava the native will be wealthy.

Not only the native , but also his sons, will be intent on earning wealth."

"...if the fifth house is subject to favorable combinations or aspects,

the son will become prominent

and the native himself would either secure authority by dint of effort

or secure mantra siddhi."

How and where does the native express one's experience of creative intelligence, royal entitlement, theatrical genius, and brilliance in games?

• The L-5 will tell.

L-5 = an agent of romance, poetry, entertainments, and delight. Putra bhava is a natural bhava- of Surya, the king. L-5 activities tend toward self-centered expression including stage performance, political popularity campaigns, idealized "falling in love", and speculative "I know I'm a winner" rolls of the dice,

• L-5 expresses confidence - whether true confidence (faith in the divine) or a rather more mundane confidence in the personal ego.

• If L-5 is a dominating graha such as empowered Mangala+ L-5 becomes an activeromancer, creator, procreator, and gamblerwithin matters of the occupied bhava.

• If L-5 is weak or submissive, the L-5 occupied bhava- becomes a venue of entertainments and amusements for the native ; the activities of the occupied bhava- express make the native feelrecognized andappreciated.

Matters of the bhava- occupied by L-5 may produce acts of genius or self-will . An instinct toward creative expression, i ncluding both procreative (making fleshly children) and spiritually creative (making performance art and literature) inhabits the bhava-; and the native feels blessed and fortunate to possess the intelligence necessary to express one's higher will .

• bhava-5 is a joyful bhava-, surging with brilliant excitement of games and challenges to the strategic political intelligence.

• It is a bhava- of Vishnu, the Sun - a bhava- of Divine Love and human romance.

• Importantly, bhava-5 does not control marriage and romances, as well as the passionate love of one's miraculous children, are not to be confused with the balanced, wealth-building partnership of marriage.

The L-5 is by nature positive and confident.

• A deranged L-5 can be over-confident, boastful, and arrogant.

• L-5 does have a tendency toward "politicking", always trying to get attention, and adolescent "showing off".

• However presuming that L-5 is reasonably well disposed, the lord of putra bhava brings happiness wherever He goes.

The royal court provides best opportunities for creative learning (Surya) that is not constrained by the fears of the common people (Shani) .

• Advanced knowledge, high scholarship, academic patronage, graduate education in arts and letters, wisdom and intelligence, are counted in the portfolio of putra bhava.

Autocratic expressions of the royal court's charismatic authority include

• entrepreneurial instinct and a management style which honors individual genius

• rule by divine right Surya), not rule by the State (Shani) or by any law inherent in the human or material world, except as the royal figure embodies the state. Entitlement to rule flows from the divine through the courageous heart of the King (or Queen).

• natural kindness (the core truth of an authentic king) toward subjects as a parent feels toward one's child

As the house of divine love (not marriage, only love!) Surya's own putra bhava signifies primarily the deepest loves of all: love of God and love of one's children.

Thus putra profiles the wellsprings of creativity, which flow forth in spiritual practice, literature, poetry, arts, cultivated exquisitry of life at court, and romance.

• bhava-5 represents romantic (not necessarily sexual) love relationships outside of marriage, including romance before marriage, and after marriage. Romantic relationships are distinguished by their lack of a contract (7) that would specify obligations and rights within a marriage.

• In general, bhava-5 can encompass all love relationships that have no legal or moral contract.

Exception:

• Extra-marital affairs conducted during the course of a legal marriage (including carnal relations or adultery) are more generally read from bhava-12, 6th-from-7th, the house of privacy, escape, and bed pleasures. Naturally, vyaya bhava is also the house of animosity toward the spouse.

Other aspects of courtly life are included in the portfolio of bhava-5. E.g., parties and celebratory social gatherings, opportunities to express one's intelligence and wit, brilliant performances, ambassadors and ministers, various forms of amusements, (where the Muse is present), speculation, games and competitions of all kinds.

• As 10th-from-8th, putra bhava confers occult knowledge, intuitive perceptions, and professional recognition in occult societies.

• Meena Chandra here will give mantra siddhi.

Putra = 'child'.

• Putra bhava's significations include the full scope of one's relationship to children, including -- if there are difficult planets in or dhristi ("focus") to putra bhava -- miscarriages and therapeutic abortions.

• Putra sthana especially concerns the first conception, first full-term pregnancy, first live birth of a child, and the oldest living child. (These may be four different beings!)

Finding one's children in the chart -

count the emotional relationship with each child from Chandra lagna:

count the material relationship with each child (physical body, finance etc) from radix lagna:

• house 5 = child 1

• house 7 = child 2

• house 9 = child 3

• house 11 = child 4

• house 1 = child 5

• house 3 = child 6

• etc.

For a fuller profile of each child, also count children

• from Saptamsha lagna

• and from the position of the graha which is radix L-5 as that graha is located within D-7.

During Vimshottari dasha periods of graha which occupy bhava-5, some type of "luck" or surprising, delightful, enchanting good fortune is expected.

"Luck" arrives in the form that is dictated by the natural characteristics of the graha as well as the graha's temporal bhava lordship.

For example,

(malefic) Ketu in Meena/5 will provide good luck and broader access to knowledge from lord L-2+L-5 Prosperous Guru, but the circumstances will involve some type of Ketu-style disconnection and abandonment.

• Ketu forces surrender. One will need to leave a familiar environment, abandon a course of study due to dissatisfaction, or accept the social marginalization of a low-performing child.

• Having accepted the disconnection in a sort of apathetic way, the native may move into a much more intelligent environment, enter a much more suitable and engaging course of study, or find that the difficult low-performing child does very well in a new, educationally specialized, non-conformist school.

• Ketu will reside some distance from His mahadasha pati or bhukti-pati and also Ketu's lord will rule some houses measured from Chandra lagna. Consider these factors also, esp. the relationship to Chandra which will reveal the emotional conditions framing the obtainment of a "lucky break".

(benefic) Guru in Thula/5will provide good luck from L-7+L-10 Compassionate Leader Guru. However the circumstances will involve some type of large-scale responsibility which may seem a bit overwhelming at first.

• One will need to quickly broaden one's scope of responsibility in order to provide counseling advice and leadership for others in order to generate an orderly environment in some organization. It does not seem like luck right away. It seems like engorgement. There is so much to do!

• Guru is happy in the natural house = swabhava ofHis friend Ravi. Unless the temporal lord is inimical, expansion of career and partnership responsibilities (7 and 10) will bring the native into the center of attention in a very positive fashion. Guru does limit the number of children (typically only one) but the child will bring amusement to the native . This is a very nice period during which presuming one can keep up with the workload of 7 (advising, contracts, legal negotiations) and 10 (regulations, bureaucratic functions, top-down orderliness) one receives much applause and feels expansive creativity in most departments of life.

• The only caveat is to remember that Shani always follows Guru!

Odd types of luck:

• Maraka graha or dushthamsha pati in putra bhava

• Maraka in 5 brings death first luck immediately following. Although it might not be obvious, death sometimes paints a great stroke of good fortune. After the death, there is a manifestation of amusement, relaxation, charisma, and center-stage applause.

When the fifth lord is positively disposed, the native will have good luck in games of chance. Compulsive gamblers will have Rahu/Ketu in putra or dharma bhava, or Rahu/Ketu with L5.

• Mysterious inner patterns of lotteries, stock markets, mutual funds, pyramid schemes, and other large pooled monies which are controlled by people outside of one's family, are seen primarily in the mysterious 8th house.

• By contrast, the conservative banking of dhana bhava is not playful, but rather serious about maintaining the family's traditional values - especially the family's long-held wealth.

• As 4th-from-2nd putra bhava provides a "home for the native 's wealth - that is, typically, an investment container or "bank".

However, one's personal profits or losses from "playing" these funds are determined by putra bhava and its attributes.
