This
hard-working professional woman wanted her own children, but instead acquired
stepchildren through her second marriage.
-
L-5 Budha occupying 5th-from-5th dharma
bhava is quite auspicious for children.
-
Lagnesha Shukra in
dharma sthana is also favorable, although not perfect because Shukra is also
L-6.
-
L-9 uccha Shani occupies house-6,
which is similarly a mixed blend of influences. In fact, the native is
a medical professional who works with children and families.
-
Guru
yuti Chandra occupies Budha's other house, also auspicious albeit unusual
circumstances involving foreigners, per nodes.
Mahadasha of Guru:
-
Guru's being L-8 and L-11 places more
emphasis on financial abundance than fleshly reproduction.
-
During native's Guru mahadasha, she and
her spouse underwent a continuous
but unresolved discussion about having children versus having money. The
money won.
-
Note the
twisted-communications effect of Ketu [confusion] and Chandra [emotion] yuti
Guru [children] in the talking rashi [Mithuna] and the money house [dhana
bhava]. In the end Guru mahadasha produced no offspring.
Mahadasha of Shani:
-
L-9/L-10 Shani is a powerful child-karaka
and yogakaraka for life as well
-
In L-9 Shani/ L-5 Budha period, two
stepchildren of school-age arrived through native's second
marriage..
-
Bhukti of L-5 Budha plus
Rahu-Ketu return to nodal axis in BOTH
rashi and navamsha are the usual qualifications for having a child. These
children left their birth mother behind in a distant land, with the mother's
full consent. (Such a painful separation was believed necessary to gain the
children's health and education.) Native had married the children's father.
-
Even though her children arrived at
school-age, the nodal transit coordinated with the L-9/L-5 bhukti produced
two children.
-
Interestingly, after a very long delay, a
third stepchild arrived in L-9 Shani / Rahu period, where Rahu gives the
effect of child-karaka Guru.
Saptamsha:
D-7 confirms and clarifies the role of L-5,
L-9, L-1 and the child-karakas.
-
radix L-9 Shani has considerable dignity in
D-1
-
Shanai = neechha in D-7. Suggests powerful material constraints,
ethnic strife, & karmic personal frustrations
regarding children.
-
Shani = lord of
saptamsha gains additional power to produce children in his periods.
-
L-5 Budha yuti Guru in
D-7 is helpful.
-
Rising Rahu in a hostile
sign Kumbha also connotes troubles & the exotic nature of the children.
-
Guru's drishti onto Shani within the D-7 is helpful.
The classic
qualities of Shani have been in force for the duration of
raising these children.
Long periods of physical separation, legal
delays in acquiring them, health issues (due to Shani's occupation of 6th
house), heavy moral & financial responsibilities, and exhausting time
schedules have all been part of the experience.
However due to
Shani's dignity and Budha's intelligence, all child-raising duties have been
executed at the highest levels of social respect. Through the efforts of
their dedicated stepmother, the children are now thoroughly educated,
physically sound, and happy.
