Saptamsha (D-7) Analysis: Children and Grandchildren
Student's children: 2 male children, no miscarriages.
D-7 Lagna: Cancer (Even sign → Count backward)
First Child
- 5th from Cancer counting backward = Pisces → Lord = Jupiter (in Leo with Ketu)
- Leo: sattvic sign (not Capricorn) → Jupiter+Ketu in Leo = very spiritual, very wise
- Ketu + Jupiter together: Ketu has Jupiter's head (wisdom) → mature, great discretion
- Moon in 3rd house → very cheerful, optimistic, easy to bring up
- Saturn in 5th → slow in learning/scholarship at school despite high intelligence
- Mars in 9th → dharmic (fiery about dharma), strict about procedures; also indicates living abroad
- Gender: Male (Jupiter in Leo = male sign + male planet)
Second Child
- 3rd from Pisces (counting the next slot) = Capricorn → Lord = Saturn (in Sagittarius)
- Saturn in Sagittarius with Rahu in 3rd and Jupiter+Ketu in 9th
- More demanding, less easygoing than first child
- Jupiter+Ketu in 9th → very dharmic, very spiritual
- Rahu in 3rd → vocally stubborn
- Saturn in lagna → selfish in using resources, not truly at peace
- Contrast: First child (cheerful, easygoing, Jupiter in lagna + Moon in 3rd) vs. Second child (demanding, unease within, but spiritual)
Grandchildren (from first child)
- 9th from Upada of first child's lagna (Pisces) = shows children's children
- Venus Dasha for grandchildren (Gemini as lagna for grandchildren):
- Venus = 9th + 4th lord in 7th → may go far from parents; but overall protective
- Moon Dasha → Moon in 5th = fame; good time for grandchildren's education
- Mars Dasha → Mars = 11th lord in 11th = lot of gains; best dasha period
Summary rule: For relations seen from divisional charts:
- Direct relations (sibling, child) → read from the house
- Their spouses → read from Upada (because connection is through Maya)
- Their children → read from 9th from Upada
