beeja sputa -
Beeja sphuta is obtained by adding the longitude of Sun, Venus and Jupiter in the
husband's chart.
The sum indicates a sign and its Navamsa. If both of these are in odd signs,
virility is present and the chances of an offspring are good.
If both are in even signs, virility and the chance of progeny are both absent. If
one is odd and the other is even, the progeny may be delayed.
kshetra sputa
Kshetra sphuta is worked out by adding the longitudes of Jupiter, Moon and Mars in
the wife's natal chart. If the sign and Navamsa thus obtained
are both in even signs, fertility and chances of progeny are assured. In case both
are in odd signs, the progeny will be delayed or even denied.
If one is odd and the other is even, there may be a delay but the progeny can be
expected.
Putra tithe sphuta is decisive in progeny prediction. It is determined as follows:
Multiply the longitudes of natal Moon and Sun separately by 5,
subtract the result obtained from Sun from that of Moon, and convert the result
into degrees, minutes, etc. Divide it by 12.
The quotient plus 1 gives the tithe required. If this is less than 15, it is deemed
to be in the dark half ,and if the remainder is less than 6,
the tithe is in the first half. If it is more than 6, it would be in the second
half.Impregnation during this period has greater chance of fertilization.
A Horoscope Vol.1 by Dr. B. V. Raman�
***** Page 221 mentions this as
Though the 5th house maybe strong and all indications for birth or children maybe
present, there will be no issues if there is no strength or
vitality for Beeja and Kshetra. Beeja is the seed of the male and Kshetra is the
bed of the woman. In other words Beeja and Kshetra represent,
not exactly the sperm and the ovum, but the element that really makes the male and
female fluids fertile.------------ if the Beeja and Kshetra
in their horoscopes are not strong, when judged according to astrological rules,
they will not bring forth any issues.
When the Beeja (male) is weak and Kshetra (female) is strong, then children may be
born late in the life after undertaking the necessary remedial measures.
The strength to cause pregnancy is controlled by the Sun � lord of vitality � in
general. Venus governs the seminal fluid. These two must have favorable
positions in the horoscope particularly in odd signs. Similarly, in the case of a
female, Mars governs the nature of blood and the Moon
controls the strength to bear children. These two planets should preferably occupy
even signs. In case of a male, add together the longitude of Sun, Venus
and Jupiter. Expunge multiples of 360 degrees. The sign arrived at indicates what
is called �Beeja Sphuta� or longitude of seed.
Similarly in a female horoscope add together the longitude of Mars, Moon and
Jupiter. Expunge multiples of 360 degrees.
The sign arrived at represents the
longitude of the bed or �Kshetra Sphuta�
For males, flow of seminal fluid is controlled by Venus and power to help in
causing pregnancy is governed by the Sun who is the lord of vitality.
These two planets must have good placements preferably in odd signs with benefic
associations and aspects for males�for females,
it will be worthwhile to mention that Moon gives strength to conceive and bear the
children and also regulates and controls the flow and cycle
of menstruation; whereas Mars, in case of females, plays very important role and is
responsible for quality and superiority of blood.
As such for females, the Moon and Mars should preferably find good placement in
their horoscopes in even signs with benefic associations and aspects.
Jupiter who is a natural significator for issues for both males and females should
find good placement in horoscopes. Considering the above facts,
Beeja Sphuta for males is worked out from the longitudes of Sun, Venus and
Jupiter; and, in case of females, Kshetra Sphuta is worked out from the
longitudes of Moon, Mars and Jupiter.
Following table will be useful and enable the readers to work out Beeja
Sphuta and Kshetra Sphuta for forecasting the results regarding issues:
