four children single father - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha Jyotish Vedic Astrology

Children 9

"Mister Mom"

Single Father of Four, Grandfather of More

Combust Shukra: a dominating and fertile father with many female mothers and helpmates, yet can't keep a wife

Four children from two unions, no mothers to help

Having lost several spouses through divorce and death, he has been sole parent for most of the children's lives. The surviving mother is non-participatory.

Bound to bandhu bhava

Note "Mister Mom's" strong cluster of graha including Chandra, child-karaka Guru, and the L-5 Shani, in bandhu bhava the "house of the home". This man has "parenting karma" which binds him tightly through children, duty, and emotion to the home and the motherland.

Social dignity: I am a Father

Also the man's Surya, karaka for the Father role in society, occupies domain-10 the realm of public dignity and respect. The native has high visibility in his community as a father, albeit not a completely honorable one as Surya = L-12, loss of identity.

Dedicated though disadvantaged children

The children have been raised in poverty, without benefit of much education (Shani oppresses Guru). Although they are quite troublesome, all of his children have been dominated by their dad's lifestyle and beliefs, and they express a fiercely defensive devotion to their father. "Despite his mistakes, he made a home for us".

Why he gets little help in parenting: moudhya Shukra

Due to a severely moudhya Shukra, the native has enjoyed a revolving-door sequence of female companionship, but his relationships with women are notably short-lived and the women tend to disappear completely from his life after the end of romance. Essentially, the native "burns out" his female companions with a combination of intensive bed-pleasure sexuality (Surya = L-12, Mithuna is a very sexual rashi) and heavy housekeeping-parenting duties (Dhanau cluster in domain-4).

The women are dominated by their verbal, highly social fathers, as the moudhya Shukra would dictate when Surya occupies Mithuna. When they leave the native, these females come under the dominance of another powerful, highly verbal male. Thus these women, who were previously his child-mothers and housekeeper-helpmates, become unable to maintain a connection with the male native.

Daughters as Mothers, loyal to main-man Dad

Some of daughters became unmarried teenage mothers, giving the male native primary child-raising responsibility for numerous grandchildren.

His several daughters have many of the moudhya Shukra traits also, including that these daughters are dominated by their father (the native) and thus unable to form lasting connections with other men.

Thus the native has collected quite a few children and grandchildren and has sole responsibility for them. To make raising so many children even more challenging, moudhya Shukra disables the 11th-from-Chandra (Thula) which keeps the native's earnings very low.

L-5 Shani + swakshetra Guru + the problematic Mula Chandra, in the gainful angle of 11th from its own house, suggests that this person will have numerous children.

Three spouses have left the family due to marital disagreement, illness, and death. L-7 Brihaspati + Shani + Mula Moon =

"If yuvati bhava or its lord is yuti with a malefic, the native's wife will incur evils..."

--Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra Chapter 19, Yuvati bhava, shloka 16

Three female children were born into the first marriage. Five female grandchildren (all dependent upon the native) were born during this man's fourth decade of life. L-5 Shani + Mula Chandra.

"If Putra's lord is with Chandra, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters."

-- Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra Chapter 16, shloka 13

Severely combust Shukra

All of Shukra's roles are negatively impacted by moudhya Shukra, i.e. Punarvasu Shukra only 4 degrees away from Punarvasu Surya.

Shukra's damaged portfolio includes:

karaka for wife (wives)
L-2 = family, wealth
L-9 = children, grandchildren, religion
L-11 from Chandra (gainfulness, earned income)
L-6 from Chandra (illness, injury, disagreements esp. divorce)

Shukra receives drishti of L-5/L-6 Shani, L-11 Mula Chandra, and L-4/L-7 Guru, which makes the first wife in particular an extremely complex person and the marriage is full of contradictory elements.

Shukra + Ketu in 12th navamsha, more loss of women

Suggests that the native feels somewhat "lost" in marriage. Shukra + Ketu = spousal apathy toward the marriage (12th navamsha = 6th-from-7th navamsha, where the D-9 7th bhava indicates the spouse in marriage).

In particular the first spouse lost enthusiasm for bed pleasures of lovemaking (Shukra-Vrishabha + Ketu in 12th navamsha = native's sexual fantasies in marriage).

L-5 Shani + fertile Guru/Chandra yoga casts drishti upon moudhya Shukra. The first wife had three children very quickly. Naturally she experienced lost enthusiasm (Ketu) for sexual pleasure (Shukra), but the mentally-dominant (Surya/10) male native with aggressive Kuja-Mesha in his domain-8 could not give her time to recuperate. He simply experienced a loss of his love partner, and surrendered (Ketu) into infidelity and substance abuse (swakshetra-Shukra/12).

Moudhya Shukra also occupies 7th-from-Moon, suggesting that weakened Shukra (young first wife) was dominated by the native's mother (Chandra).

In his fifth decade, the native has entered the mahadasha of Rahu. Rahu will give the results of his lord L-12 Surya. Surya is also lord of 9th-from-Chandra (signifying the native's relationship with religion and with his own father).

Foreign travel and further passionate dalliance in the realm of bed-pleasure (12) is predicted. Yet marriage seems precluded because Rahu can be expected to amplify even more Surya's hot yang dominance that "burns out" women. Also consider Rahu's signature propensity to attract the unstable, exotic, and weird. Rahu's mahadasha should be exciting but there may be no additional wife to help with his inevitably expanding brood.

Vimshottari periods of marriages and children:

1st Marriage in Shukra/Budha where Budha rules navamsha lagna, simultaneous with Rahu-Ketu return to Kumbha/Simha
1st child follows within Shukra/Budha where Budha is also L-1. Children are commonly born in a male's period of L-1 due to the child's confirmation of the male's social identity.
2nd child in Shukra/Ketu where Ketu gives the effect of His lord L-5 Shani.
3rd child in Surya/Guru where karaka Guru creates children regardless of any other association
2nd Marriage in Surya/Shukra where Shukra is a karaka for marriage, and Surya as the other graha yuti Shukra is significator of the second wife. Timed by simultaneous gochara Rahu-Ketu return to Kumbha/Simha. Second marriage ended in quick divorce after the couple moved in with the second wife's dominant father, who reclaimed her.
3rd child-bearing union in Chandra/Rahu where Rahu signifies unusual or illicit partnerships, and Rahu gives effect of His lord Surya, karaka for second wife. The third partner and mother of his later child was "burned up" in the extreme via Rahu. She died a tragic and wildly accidental "super-hot Rahu" death via electrocution having barely entered her second decade of life.
4th child in Chandra/Guru where karaka Guru creates children regardless of any other association

The 4th child was nearly lost in a tragic accident at the male native's age 36.

"There will be loss of children at 33 and 36 if a malefic is in the 5th from Guru, while another is in the 5th from Lagna."

--BPHS Ch. 16, putra bhava, shloka 22

Blessedly, there is no malefic in Makara, 5th-from-lagna.

During Mula Chandra/ Ketu period where Ketu gives effect of the L-5 (children) in domain-6 accidents, both father and child were nearly burned to death.

Shani owns and aspects Air bhava, the mahadusthamsha. The accident involved a house-fire (L-6 Shani with Mula [ruled by Ketu and signifying galactic fire] in domain-4 house) The devastating fire was started by a child (L-5 Shani).

Through the father's bravery the child survived, yet the father's otherwise attractive-to-women (Shukra + Surya) appearance was disfigured (very moudhya Shukra). The agent of disfigurement by fire was child-4 = 11th-from-Chandra = Thula = Shukra.

The male's first child has cerebral palsy, aggressive (Kuja) mood disorder, and total deafness. In the father's nativity, super-malefic L-3/L-8 Mangala occupies 5th-from-Chandra, 5th-from-Guru, 5th-from-L-5 Shani.

Saptamsha:

D-1's putra-pati Shani occupies D-7's labha bhava, suggesting fruitfulness and gain of children.

D-1's dharma lord Shukra occupies D-7's Ripu bhava with Guru, supporting expectation of health problems for the first child as well as overall fertility for the native (L-9 + Guru)

Guru is lord of the 9th saptamsha, auspicious for fertility. Guru occupies swakshetra in D-7. Again, multiplicity.

Chandra (parenting) occupies conservative Makara rashi but with Rahu in the D-7. Similar to Chandra being with Shani in D-1 but also in Mula. Native has conventional, even conservative-reactionary, social policy beliefs, but in practice he must accommodate some exotic circumstances.
