Pearl

Pearl represents the energy of Moon. Moon is the most crucial planet in Hindu astrology. Astronomically, moon is the closet planet to earth, hence it’s positive or negative effects can be easily experienced. That is the reason, many of the predictions particularly Prasna, Marriage compatibility and Muhurta are based on Moon position only. It represents our Mind and its stability, water element in the body, flow of blood, thoughts, feeling and emotions. A weak moon in the chart can cause water retention problems, low blood pressure/ high blood pressure, excessive mood swings, depressions, suicidal tendency, lunacy etc.

These problems can be mitigated by using a finest quality of Pearl. Since moon is also a creative planet, this stone can ignite the hidden creativity talent. It should be worn in silver ring for sure. In Hindu Astrology, ‘Balaristha’ yogas are mainly associated with affliction of Moon, hence Pearl can always to prescribed to new borns and kids up to 8 years for sound health. The problem of Mood Swings is very much controlled by cooling characteristics of Pearl. Moon being a Satvic planet, pearl also helps in leading a satvic life.

Pearls are formed formed in the bodies of certain saltwater and freshwater mollusks around an irritant or parasite without Human Intervention. They are usually white or light yellow or grey in colour. Hardness is 2.5 to 4.5 and possibly mistaken with cultured pearls and glass pearls. South Sea Pearls are considered among the best in Asian Countries. Moon Stone is the best Substitute for Pearl. Pearl should be worn on Monday in auspicious Hora of Moon.

Astrological Analysis of Child Birth

Procreation is something very natural for Humans. The natural attraction between two opposite sexes ignites the desire to live together and the institution of ‘Marriage’ adds legalisation to any mutual relationship. Now the question arises, why do we aspire for a child? Why does God want us to procreate? I think this question must be logically analysed before going further on astrological aspects.

In 21^st century, the institution of marriage has become vulnerable to many new developments. The aspiration of having independent identity, success, name and fame, freedom in thoughts, empowerment and progressing laws are the few crucial factors. Both men and women are responsible for the deterioration of family values. One should understand that procreation is very much necessary for continuation of any civilisation. If we believe that our civilisation must continue, then it is the responsibility of couples to ensure that the future generation must be nurtured in the right direction.

The Hindu system believes in the past birth and rebirth. One takes birth as a Human to clear the debts of his/her past karma. From the day one, a native breathes the first air, he is indebted to his parents. The parents sacrifice everything to protect the individual against any mishaps and in that process, native accumulates enormous amount of karmic Debt slowly and steadily. The only way to pay back this debt is to nurture your child with same devotion and sacrifice. The suffering and pain endured by you would clear-off the backlog in this Janma itself. If you refrain from having the child, your debts can not be absolved. The western society must contemplate on this point. In India also, the rising cases of divorce is resulting into ‘cosmetic’ childlessness. The neo-liberals supporting the cause of gays and lesbians are needed to understand this particular Hindu philosophy.

Let’s come to astrology part. In Hindu astrology 5^th house is the house of ‘Procreation’. The child is the result of this beautiful creation. We create something unique in form of DNA that transmits from one generation to another generation. The following points must be analysed first before giving any verdict on timing of child birth.

1. The strength of 5^th house, its lord in rashi chart (D-1), navamsa chart (D-9) and Saptamsha Chart (D-7) should be checked.
2. The 5th house and fifth lord from ‘moon’ and ‘Jupiter’ are also to be analysed to determine the promise of child. It is clearly suggested by Maharshi Parasara.
3. Jupiter being the ‘karaka’ of child must be strong to support the blessing of child. If Jupiter is ‘combust’, debilitated or associated with 6^th or 8^th lord, then the chart gets weakened. The strength of Jupiter is also to be checked in D-9 and D-7.   
4. 7^th house also plays a very crucial role in assessing the promise of child. 7^th house is the house of generative system for both males and females. The influence of impotent planets such as mercury and Saturn can cause impotency and infertility issues.
5. Venus being the karaka for ‘Sperm’ is also to be seen to determine the ‘potency’ of sperm. If venus is combust or compressed between malefic planets, the sperm loses to potency to conceive. Hence, it is very unfair to make female responsible for childlessness.
6. Similarly weak venus in female chart can cause diseased generative system which may obstruct the creation of fertile ‘ovum’.

Only after complete assessment of chart as given above, one should venture on to prediction of timing of child birth. If the chart does have strong 5^th lord and 5^th house, there may be delay in getting the child. Only when the chart promises to have early child, then one can immediately look into prevailing Vimshottari Dasha and corresponding Antardasha. The birth of child can take place in Dashas as given below

1. Dasha and Antar of 5^th lord or planets posited in 5^th house or planets associated with 5^th lord are the most powerful for blessing of child.
2. Using Bhavat- bhavam concept, 9^th lord can also give the result of 5^th house. Therefore, 9^th lord dasha and planets associated with 9^th lord can also cause the birth of child.
3. 5^th lord in D-7 chart and planets placed in 5^th house of D-7 are also responsible for this procreation.
4. As per celebrated astrologer Shri K.N Rao, the double transit of Jupiter and Saturn on 5^th house/5L, 9^th house/9L fulfils the aspiration of having the child. I have found it working in most of charts.

Delayed Childbirth and Remedial Methods

The affliction of 5L/5H from lagna, Moon and Jupiter is surest indication of delayed childbirth. The affliction by Saturn, mars, 6L and 8L are the most inimical. The combustion or debilitation of Jupiter is another prime reason for delayed childbirth. The remedial methods vary from one chart to another chart. The general rules are as follows

1. Strengthening of Jupiter is the first thing to be done. One can strengthen Jupiter either by observing fast on Thursdays or chanting Beej Mantras for Jupiter.
2. 5^th Lord can be strengthened in case 5^th house/5L is weak in the chart.
3. Yellow Sapphire can be worn to absorb positive Jupiterian Energy.
4. In case Saturn, Rahu are obstructing the childbirth, they can be propitiated through mantras and fasts.
5. In Hindu Mythology, Lord Bal Krishna is direct representation of the most Beautiful Child. Chanting Santan-Gopal Mantra is very powerful to get the blessing of Lord Krishna. He will certainly bless you with a beautiful child.
6. The worship of Lord Bal Krishna on ‘Krishna Janmamastami’ is the most auspicious day for the same.
7. Last but not the least, Do follow medical treatment along with these spiritual remedial suggestions. Ayurveda and Homeopathy are more effective in curing chronic diseases.  

Ruby (Manikya) Gemstone

Ruby or Manikya is a valuable gemstone to be prescribed for planet SUN. Sun is the most powerful planet in Hindu Astrology which carries lot of brilliance and heat. It represents our ‘soul’. Sun is also significator for self-confidence, assertiveness, ego and royality. In Ayurveda, it is associated with Pitta Dosha which may produces diseases related to indigestion, burns, ulcer, low bone density, heart etc. Astrologically it also represents eyes, hence problems related to eyes can be overcome by strengthening SUN.

Whenever Sun is weak in any Horoscope, native would have low self-confidence. He would struggle in putting forward his View points in a group. Ruby can help in boosting self-confidence and strengthening the decision making power. Ruby can bring out the hidden leadership instinct.  The Best Rubies are Red to Purplish Red in colour. Red colour waves are hot and therefore useful in curing diseases caused by cold waves such as Cold, Cough, Low blood pressure and helps in proper functioning of Heart. It works as antidote against depression, morbidity and helps in leading the life in positive way.

Burmese Rubies are finest in their colour and considered best. They are ‘red’ to slightly ‘purplish red’ in medium dark tone which is also known as Piggeon’s Blood. The Harness of Ruby is 9 on Mohr’s scale. The other good rubies are ‘Ceylon Rubies’ which are of light red colour. The Substitutes are Red Garnet and Red Spinel.

Ruby should be worn on ‘Sunday’ in auspicious Hora, preferably in the Hora of SUN
