Malefics occupying the ascendant and the 7th while the Moon is conjunct a malefic with no relief from a benefic — also causes premature death. Early death will be inflicted if decreasing Moon is in the ascendant while malefics capture the 8th and an angle. The Moon in the ascendant/8th/12th or the 7th and hemmed between malefics will confer premature death. Should the Moon be in the ascendant hemmed between two malefics while the 7th or the 8th has a malefic — the child will face immediate death along with its mother. Saturn, Sun and Mars in the 12th/9th/8th without benefic aspect — instant death. Malefic in the 7th house or in the rising decanate while decreasing Moon is in ascendant — early death. The life span of the child will be either 2 months or 6 months only, if all planets devoid of strength are relegated to Āpoklima houses (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th).

मातृ-कष्ट: यदि चन्द्र पर 3 पाप-ग्रहों की दृष्टि हो व शुभ-दृष्टि न हो — माता का परम अनिष्ट; शुभ-दृष्ट रहने पर परम हानि नहीं।
