womb to tomb are covered and can be solved via the Divine Science-Astrology.
Here the question involved is why people get TWINS though some cases of ladies
giving birth to three children, quadruplets and also giving birth to animals
are also indicated by some of the astrological principles.
Before discussing the principles of Twins, it
is necessary to say that the potency of males and of females cannot be ignored.
Similarly, the organs of both have also to be considered. The planets involved
are Mars, Venus, and Jupiter with Mercury the Sun, and the Moon. Venus and
Jupiter with Mercury the Sun and the Moon. A lady giving birth to twins must
have large organs. The sexual organ of a lady is considered large/long in the
following combinations:
I. When Sun or Mars joins Saturn/
Rahu, the lord of the 7th house become malefic.
II. When the lord of the 7th house is
Jupiter or Venus and a malefic joins.
III. When the lord of the 7th house
if Saturn and Mercury joins.
3) In general, 5th house and 5th lord have a
major role to play with regard to the birth of children. The first child shall
be looked after from 5th house. Where a couple is blessed with the first child
and then gets twins, then the 7th house and 7th lord shall be considered with
reference to conjunction, aspect, or association of other planets.
4) According to Prashara Hora Shastra birth of
twins is indicated when the native, who has the sun in a quadruped sign while
others are in dual signs with strength, is born as one of the twins. Quadruped
signs are the second part of Taurus, Leo. The first half of Capricorn and the second
part of Sagittarius. If the Sun is in a quadruped sign while others are in dual
signs is in a quadruped sign while others are in dual signs i.e. Gemini, Virgo,
Sagittarius (half-first part), and Pisces, the native may be born as one of the
twins. It goes without saying that the other six planets be endowed with
strength.
5) Twins shall be born when they are
conceived as such. For conception, it shall take place when the Moon and Mars
(in the case of a woman) or the Sun and Venus (in the case of a man) occupy
their own house or their navamsas. In addition, Jupiter also has an equal role
to play when it occupies Lagna or a Trine. Be that as it may, the conception of
Twins shall depend on the virility (semen) of the male and fertility of the
female as we have separate combinations for giving birth to a male child, a
female child or even a eunuch.
6) Then there are cases where twins born are
boys and in other cases there are girls and still in other cases, there are one
girl and one boy. This all depends on the force of Male Planets and Female
planets, especially in the 5th house and 5th Lord. If the Lords of the 1st and
5th houses are together in Kendra in association with a benefic planet and the
lord of the 2nd house is strong, the native may be blessed with twin boys. For
want of space, this and other principles are not mentioned.
7) According to astrological principles one gets
different types of children and in the case of twins, normally Nakshtra in
which the twins are born may not change and thus the conditions of both will
remain the same including longevity but if the Nakshtra has changed, then it is
possible that one may be an ‘accused’ and other may be a ‘Judge’.
8) Some die in the womb as in the case of a single
child. Under Horary, if the quarry is ‘whether the child in the womb will die
or live, the astrologer can say that it will live if the Lord of 12th is in a
Kendra in conjunction with aspected by benefices or if the query is put during
the Shukla Paksha (waning Moon) and
the Moon is in the 12th conjoined with a benefice, the child in the womb is
expected to live. These principles and another such principle equally apply to
twins.
9) For giving birth to a single child or twins,
the woman must be receptive and for this, the Moon and Mars causing monthly
menses must be taken into account. When the Moon is in Upachaya Rasis (3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th) and the woman gets sexual
union, the chances of twins are bright depending on the power of Jupiter, Mars,
and the Sun. Bahuputra Yoga (more than one child either simultaneously or at
intervals) comes into play when Rahu is in the 5th house and is in a Navamsha
other than Saturn. Similar results are indicated if the Lord of the Navamsha
occupied by planets who are in association with the 7th Lord is in the 1st, 2nd,
or 5th house.
10) Even from the principle of
‘Bhavat Bhavam’, the 9th house is capable of giving Twins-sons/ daughters
depending on the force of planets involved as indicated above (9th house is 5th
from 5th). If there is a marked influence of female planets, especially Saturn,
Moon, and Venus, twins born shall be girls.
11) Summing up astrological
principles on Twins, it can be said Male planets influencing the 5th lord give
male twins and when the 5th house belongs to a female planet having the influence
of female plants, female planets, and female twins shall be born depending on Beeja or Kshetra.
