Chapter 4 · Dangers to a Child at Birth
अरिष्टाऽध्यायः
अशुभेषु शुभेषु चक्रपूर्वापरभागेषु गतेषु कीटलग्ने ।विरतिं समुपैति बालकोऽयं खलखेटैरपिकामिनीतनुस्थैः ॥ २ ॥
Bad planets may stand in the eastern half of the chart and good planets in the western half. The rising sign may be Scorpio. The old texts say this shows a serious risk to the child's life. The same holds when bad planets stand in the 7th house and the 1st house.
Simple meaning: 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.
शीतांशावरिविरतिस्थिते विनाशः
A Moon in the 6th or 8th with bad planets may show an early risk.
