Chart 10
Query: "I am stagnating in a post for the last 6 years. When can I expect a promotion?" This query was made in July 1988.

The sign Cancer rises in the ascendant. The planets Moon, Sun, Mars, Venus and Mercury become functional benefic (favorable) planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are the functional malefic (unfavorable) planets. Mercury acts as a Sun-like planet.

At the time of the query the native was in the sub period of Saturn in the main period of Jupiter. The prime determinants of professional matters in this case are Mars and the Sun while Mercury is the significator.

The sign Cancer rises in the ascendant of Dasamsa (DX) and the Moon becomes an additional prime determinant for professional matters. The significator for job, the Sun is well placed in DX. The sub period lord Rahu is well placed in dasamsa.

The lord of the ascendant Moon is strong in the birth chart. Significator for professional matters Mercury is also strong. The Sun is weak due to old age and close affliction to its mooltrikona sign house. Mars is weak due to exact affliction by the Rahu and Ketu axis.

Advice: “The native was informed that he could get a double promotion during the sub period of Mercury in the main period of Jupiter. He could get one more promotion during the sub period of the Moon in the main period of Jupiter. As the Rahu and Ketu axis is causing affliction to the most effective points of the houses occupied and aspected by them, he was suggested to perform the peace making remedies for Rahu, Ketu and the other functional malefic planets, even though Jupiter and Saturn were not causing affliction in the birth chart.”

The native received a double promotion during the sub period of Mercury and another promotion in the sub period of the Moon as predicted.

Query: "We were married on 5th December 2007 and up to today 31st August 2013, we have not been blessed with a child. Medical treatment was started just after marriage with no success. Can astral remedies help us in the birth of a child?"

Birth Chart of Husband
The sign Aquarius rises in the ascendant. The planets Saturn, Mars, Sun, Venus and Jupiter function as favorable planets. Rahu, Ketu, Moon and Mercury function as unfavorable planets. Mars and Venus act like Sun-like planets.

In the birth chart of the husband there are no mooltrikona signs in fifth, second and tenth houses. Fifth house rules progeny matters. The second rules the birth of a male child. The tenth house rules the happiness through a male child. So the primary significator Jupiter and secondary significator the Sun for progeny were to be considered. Both are weak in the birth chart. Jupiter is badly placed and the Sun is in debilitation and infancy.

The sign Aries rises in the ascendant of Sapthamsa (DVII) and Mars becomes an additional prime determinant for children. Mars is strong in the natal chart while it becomes weak in DVII due to placement in its sign of debilitation. The significator for progeny matters Jupiter is well placed in DVII. The Sun is in its sign of debilitation in Sapthamsa.

Birth Chart of Wife
The sign Taurus rises in the ascendant and the planets the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn are favorable planets. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are the functional malefic (unfavorable) planets. The Moon acts as a Sun-like planet.

In the chart of the wife the prime determinant of progeny matters Mercury is weak due to extreme infancy. The lord of tenth house indicating happiness through a male child is weak due to bad placement and close affliction of Rahu from second house. The significator for progeny Jupiter is well placed in the chart and the secondary significator the Sun is well placed but weak due to close affliction to its mooltrikona sign.

The sign Pisces rises in the DVII, which is not a mooltrikona sign. Therefore there is no additional prime determinant planet for progeny matters in this case. Mercury the prime determinant for progeny matters in the natal chart is well placed in DVII. The significator for progeny matters Jupiter is badly placed and associated with Rahu in Sapthamsa.

On examining both of the charts we came to the conclusion that with the help of the remedies there is a chance of the birth of child. Besides continuing the medical treatment, both husband and wife were suggested to wear Special Purpose Kavachs and sincere performance of peace-making remedies for the functional malefic planets. We also helped them in choosing the dates for an IVF procedure.

With the help of the remedies, the Special Purpose Kavachs and medical treatment, the couple was blessed with twins, a son and a daughter on 6th October 2014. This clearly demonstrates the power of strengthening the benefic planets and the propitiatory astral remedies when prescribed after due analysis and performed sincerely.

The students can read our book, “Planets and Children” for studying case studies on various dimensions progeny matters.
