द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
नीचास्तारिगतावेतौ यदि वक्रग्रहान्वितौ ॥तद्योगघातकावेतौ समर्क्षे विषमेपि वा ॥
These two may be in nicha (low point), set, or in an enemy's sign. Or they may be joined with retrograde planets. Then they spoil that combination. This holds in an even or an odd sign.
Simple meaning: If both are low, set, in an enemy's sign, or with retrograde planets, the combination is spoiled.
अत्र संतानयोगकर्तारो यदा विषमर्क्षे विषमनवांशे वा स्थिताः पुत्रजन्मकराः समभे समनवांशे च कन्याजन्मकरास्स्युरिति विशेषः ॥
Child-giving planets in odd signs give a son. In even signs they give a daughter.
जीर्णताजिके ॥
5th lord in the lagna and lagna lord in the 5th: a son is foretold for the year.
शुक्रेन्दू लाभसुतगौ पश्यतो वा यथाक्रमम् ॥
Venus in the 11th and Moon in the 5th, or looking at them: comfort from children, a son and offspring.
