Maharishi Parasara replied — What a good question? Listen to what I am going to tell you about the birth charts of females. All the effects that have been described till now in the case of male horoscopies, will apply to females also. Matters relating to her physical appearance should be determined from the Ascendant, those relating to children from the 5th house, fortune of the husband from the 7th house and death of the husband (widowhood) should be deduced from the 8th house. Those effects which are impossible to be ascribed to the female, should be declared to be applicable to her husband.

पराशर बोले- हे मैत्रेय ! उस विषय में भी कहता हूँ। सामान्यतः पुरुष व स्त्री जातक के नियम समान ही हैं। अर्थात् जो-जो योगायोग पुरुष जातक में कहे हैं वे ही स्त्री जातक में भी विचारणीय हैं। जो-जो बातें स्त्रियों में असम्भव हों, वे सब बातें स्त्रियों के पति को प्राप्त होती हैं।
