Chapter 4 · Dangers to a Child at Birth
अरिष्टाऽध्यायः
तुहिनकिरणहोरिका च सन्ध्याभचरमगाः खलखेचरा जनौ चेत् ।मृतिरथ रजनीशपापखेटैरखिलचतुष्टयगैर्विनाशमेति ॥ १ ॥
The child may be born in the Moon's half of a sign, at twilight. Bad planets may stand at the very end of their signs. The old texts say this chart shows a serious risk to the child's life in the early days. The same risk is seen when the Moon and bad planets fill all four corner houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th).
Simple meaning: Birth at twilight in the Moon's half-sign, with bad planets at sign ends, may show an early risk.
अशुभेषु शुभेषु चक्रपूर्वापरभागेषु गतेषु कीटलग्ने ।
Bad planets in the eastern half, good ones in the western half, with Scorpio rising, may show a risk.
खलखगसहितो निशाकरोऽयं
A Moon with bad planets in the 1st, 7th or 8th, unseen by good planets, may show risk.
अशुभावगोदयगतौ शुभदैर
Bad planets in the 1st and 7th, or a weak Moon in the 12th, may show a risk.
