Saptamsha * Saptans
putra-varga the 1/7 Portion = Seventh Divisional Chart
Children - Fertility - Fruitfulness of Partnership
BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 10-11: Saptamsha = one seventh of a Rashi
"The Saptamsha counting commences from the same Rashi in the case of an odd Rashi.
It is from the seventh Rashi thereof, while an even Rashi is considered.
The names of the seven divisions in odd Rashi are:
The Saptamsa Deities are represented by rather substances that are endowed with powerfully
creative energies, the energies used by the divine to create and generate offspring which are of
liquid form.
1. Kshaara (Ksheera) - any corrosive liquid such as saline, alkali, acid, etc, symbolizing
pent up vital energy that can become damaging to oneself and frustrating. It is the
experience of the harsh realities of life.
2. Kshira- milk of any type including the milk of plants, representing vital energy, ready to
be used to create something wonderful,getting happiness through the worship and hymns
to the lord.
3. Dadhi - coagulated milk, thick sour milk, yogurt, coagulated milk, thick sour milk,
yogurt, steadiness in the path of realization or sadhna.
4. Ajyam- melted ghee or melted butter. This word is usually replaced with Ghritha by the
translators of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, with the same meaning. It is the fruitful
stage of sadhna, attainment of quietude.
5. Ikshu – Ikshurasa - sugar-cane juice, the enjoyment of bliss
6. Madhya- represents an almost equally high energy but one that is more focused along one
line of desire - it sticks to something just as does honey
7. Suddha Jala- represents vibrant creative energy that naturally takes its place in whatever
creative venture it finds itself in–no agenda, just acceptance of its creative role. This is
ever blissful stage.
These designations are reversed for an even Rashi."

From David Frawley - The Astrology of the Seers. (2000). p. 186:
SAPTANS
"Each sign is divided into seven equal parts of 04° 17' 09".
The first 1/7 of odd signs is governed by the sign itself, with the rest following the signs in order
through the zodiac.
For even signs, the first 1/7 corresponds to the sign seventh from it, and the rest follow in order
from that.
Hence, the first seventh of Aries of an odd sign is Aries; the second. Taurus; the third and so on to
Libra.
The first seventh of Taurus (an even sign) would be Scorpio, the sign seventh from it.
The second seventh division would be Sagittarius; the third, Capricorn; and so on to Taurus as its
last seventh.
In this way we are merely going through the signs in order.
The following are the harmonic 1/7 divisions of the sign:
1. 00° 0' 0" to 04° 17' 09"
2. 04° 17' 09" to 08° 34' 16"
3. 08° 34'17" to 12° 51'26"
4. 12° 51'26" to 17° 08'34"
5. 17° 08'34" to 21° 25'43"
6. 21° 25'43" to 25° 42'52"
7. 25° 42'52" to 30° 00'00"
Thus if the Moon is located at 25° 10' Taurus, it would be in the sixth division, which would be
Aries (sixth from Scorpio). "
"Putra" the creative intelligence is seen through:
• 5th house from radix lagna and L-5
• 5th from Chandra and its Lord
• 5th from procreative karaka Jupiter and its Lord
• lord of L-5's navamsha house
Barbara Pijan Lama : Field of Psychic Expectation for Matters of :
Fruits (11) of the Yoke (7) (gains from yuvati = products of partnership and alliances)
Ayurvedic medical prescriptions based on assessment of the seven human-body chakra (wheels)
The traditional fruit of marriage being children, from Saptamsha is gained (presuming an accurate
birth time) a confirming level of detail regarding children.
To determine the prognosis for Children, look first (of course) to all the effects upon putra bhava
[the 5th house of creativity] itself.
Check the status of child-karaka Guru; check dharma-bhava 5th-from-5th; Check 5th-from-Guru;
Check 5th-from-Chandra

3
Now, check the D-7 = Saptamsha.
The house which defines and energizes "children" sits in 3/11 angle to the children-house:
it is yuvati bhava, the 7th house of marriage. It is considered that the relationship between
the two parents (bhava-7) is the basis (lagna) from which the prospects for children should
be measured. Thus children, a fruit (11) of marriage, are seen from D-7.
Examine kalatra bhava (7) in the radix. Will the radix 7th house generate the community
support (11th-from-7th = putra) and personal courage (3rd-from-7th = dharma) necessary
to realize its goals?
Once the lords of domains 5 and 9 are confirmed positive for children, look for
confirmation of the "fruits" of the 7th house in the seventh divisional chart:
D-7/Saptamsha. Saptamsha reveals fine detail of how the "results" of marriage manifest.
PUTRA BHAGYA means being blessed with good children who make you happy. This is a
gift from your previous live. The 5th house is related to the merits of the past life. Hence
the 5th house is also the house of children.
Opinions of a few scholars on D/7 chart and children:
- analysis of Saptamsa is to be done to see the fruits of this sexual interaction, i.e.,
children.
- D/7 chart indicates happiness from children and grand children. This means the
spread of dynasty.
- Odd sign on D/7 ascendant, occupied or aspected by benefic planets gives comfort
and happiness from male children to the native.
- Even sign on D/7 ascendant, occupied or aspected by benefic planets indicates
happiness and comfort from female children.
- If the ascendant of the D/7 chart is occupied or aspected by malefic planets, or if
the ascendant lord of D/7 is afflicted, the native may have great difficulty in having
children or may not have children or remains worried about them.
- The lagna lord of D-1, 5L, 7L, 9L, karaka Jupiter and Venus are to be seen in
relation to Lagna of D-7. If there is any affliction one may have delayed progeny.
The positive role of Fruitful Signs in conception:
Child birth is promised if your 5th cusp occupies a fruitful sign like Cancer, Scorpio, or
Pisces
The negative role Barren Signs in conception:
Aries (Mesha), Gemini (Mithuna), Leo (Simha) and Virgo (Kanya) are called barren or
sterile signs. Barren signs related to the afflicted 5th house and its lord is indication of
being childless. A sign of few children inclining to barrenness.

4
Child Birth Denied :
If the the lords of your 5th or 11th house occupy barren signs and if the lagna or ascendant
cusp falls in any of these barren signs, then child birth is denied.
Child birth may be delayed or denied if the lord of lagna, occupies a barren sign and
receives malefic aspects from any evil planets.
Formulas signifying positive or negative indications of conception in the male
and female horoscopes in sidereal astrology. The formula for the male chart
is known as Bheeja Sphutha while the formula for female chart is known as
Bheeja Kshetra.
Formula of finding Bheeja Sputha for the male chart:
a) Add the longitudes of the Sun, Venus and Jupiter
b) Then expunge the multiples of 12 signs from the total and name it “A”
c) Then find out the navamsa position of “A”.
How to find out the indications:
- If “A” falls in odd signs in both the rashi and navamsa positions, the
indications are positive.
- If the position of “A” falls in odd and even signs in either the rash or
navamsa positions, then it indicates that the native needs medical
assistance.
- If both the positions are in even signs, then it would difficult to have off
springs.
Formula of finding Bheeja Kshetra for the female chart:
a) Add the longitudes of the Moon, Mars and Jupiter
b) Then expunge the multiples of 12 signs from the total and name it “B”.
c) Then find out the navamsa position of “B”.

5
How to find out the indications:
- If “B” falls in Even signs in both the rashi and navamsa positions, the
indications are positive.
- If the position of “B” falls in odd and even signs in either the rash or
navamsa positions, then it indicates that the native needs medical
assistance.
If both the positions are in odd signs, then it would difficult to have off
springs.

6
The auspicious conditions for begetting children are summarized below:
- When the lagna Lord, Lord of the Moon’s sign, 5th Lord and 7th
Lord are powerful in addition to powerful Jupiter.
- When the above planets are in angles (Kendra) tines (Trikonas) or
in the 11th house.
- When the 5th house is aspected or occupied by benefics.
- When there are more benefic points in the 5th house from Jupiter
in Ashtakavarga, and The Santan Tithi falls in the bright half of the Moon.
Santhan Tithi is progeny. Tithi and can be arrived at be deducting the
longitude of the Sun from the longitude of the Moon. Multiply this difference
by 5 and arrive at ‘Santhan Tithi’.
Sarpasapa Yogas - there is a b3elief that there will be no children or children
may die due to curse of serpants, with the following combinations:
- 5th Bhava should be occupied by Rahu and aspected by Mars or
the 5th should be a sign of Mars and occupied by Rahu.
- 5th Lord in conjunction with Rahu and Saturn in the 5th house
aspected by or associated with the Moon.
- Jupiter-Karka of children in association with Mars, Rahu in
Lagna and 5th Lord in ‘dusthana’ gives to rise to Sarpasapa Yoga.
- 5th house being sign of Mars must be conjoined by Rahu and
aspected by or associated with Mercury. It may be noted that Rahu and Mars
have a significant role to play in denying or killing the children. The
combination of the Moon and Saturn normally become indicative of ‘sorrow’
if connected with 5th house.

7
The combinations or yogas for adoption of a child : Dattak Santane/putra:
- According to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) if the 5th lord is
in the 12th bhava, the native will be bereft of happiness from his own sons. He
will have an adopted or purchased son.
- Malefic aspect on 5th (and 9th) lords/houses (thus denying children) and
also on the 7th house (denying ability to procreate).
- Effect of Saturn and Mars on 5th house either by occupation or aspect
afflicts the house of children.
- Lord of 5th house in barren signs, i.e. those signs belonging to Saturn
and Mercury.
- Influence of a benefic on the 5th house or its lord is a must to have an
adopted child.
A few planetary combinations responsible for child adoption:
1) Ketu in the 12th to Jupiter or conjunct Jupiter with less degree;
2) The 5th lord or 5th house conjunct with the 6th, 8th or 12th lords and in
Papakartari Yoga;
3) The 5th house being in a sign of mars occupied by Saturn and Rahu;
4) 5th lord occupying a house of Mercury and Jupiter being placed in one of
the houses of Mercury;
5) Saturn in the 5th, exchange of 1, 5 lords and a weak Jupiter;
6) 5th lord and Mercury conjunct in 6,8 or 12 and aspected by a Natural
benefic;
7) 5th lord conjunct Mars and aspected by Saturn;
8) 8th lord in 5th, 5th lord in 12th and Jupiter in a kendra;
9) Saturn in the 5th with rahu in 4th or 12th conjunct Malefics;
10) The lord of 5th to the Moon conjunct Venus and posited in less fruitful
sign or in barren sign and aspected by malefics;
11) 7th lord in 5th conjunct malefics and Jupiter being powerful;
12) The ascendant falls in an even sign and the lord of the 5th house occupies
the 4th in the Navamsa of Saturn;
13) The association of the lord of the 5th house, the Sun and Mercury occurs
in a Navamsa of Saturn or of an even sign;
14) A strong benefic posited in the 5th house is not aspected by another
benefic;

8
15) The 5th house coincides with Capricorn or Aquarius and Saturn aspected
by theMoon is placed therein;
16) The Moon occupies a sign of Saturn falling as the 5th house and Mercury
is without any point of strength;
17) When Mars and Saturn occupy the 5th house and when the ascendant lord
is in a sign of Mercury or is associated with Mercury;
18) The 7th lord in the 11th house and Saturn or Mercury in the 5th when the
lord of the 5th house combines with a benefic;
19) If the 5th house falls in Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius and has the
association or aspect of Saturn or Mandi;
20) If the 9th house is afflicted with Saturn and Mandi and Lagna Lord is
badly disposed to the 9th house and 9th Lord. If the 5th Lord is a eunuch
planet, the 5th house is conjoined with or aspected by a eunuch planet and
also occupied by Mandi and Jupiter is powerful
