Beeja & Kshetra Sphuta-The Astrological Sperm & Ovary

by shilpa Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:11 pm

In our Vedic astrology system anaolgies of the male sperm and female ovaies have been defined
that can be placed as longitudnal points in the chart.
and then the influence of various benefic/ malefic etc can bee seen to test the potency of the
astrological equivalent of sperm and the fertility of the astrological equivalent of ovary.
This is how it works:
1) The Beeja Sphutha is literally the male seed ( call it the astrological equivalent of sperms)
2) The Kshetra sphutha is literally the ground for sowing the seed ( the astrological equivalent
of ovaries)
3) If the ground is barren, the strongest of seeds will struggle to nurture into a life form.
If the seeds are weak.....they will struggle to nurture in the most fertile grounds.
4) Beeja is calculated for MALES by adding the longitudes ( absolute with signs and w.r.t Aries
house-1) of Sun+Jupiter+Venus.
Remove 360 or multiples of it...if the total is high till you get a number less than 360.
5) Place the Beeja ( derived longtiude) in the approrpaite Rashi. If in an odd Rasi indicates
natural strong potency....even Rasi indicates weakness.
6) Further ownership of Rasi, benefic conjucntions and aspects strengthen the beej and malefics
weaken the beeja.
7) The kshetra sphuta is calculated for FEMALES by adding similarly absolute longitudes of
Moon+Mars+Jupiter, removing 360 or multiples of it thereoff and placing in the appropriate
sign.
8]If in an even sign indicates a naturally fertile woman.
9)If aspected or conjunct with benefics...fertility/ potency of Beeja and sphuta is enhanced.
10) Malefics ( Ra-Ke, Ma and Sat) are reportedly going to reduce the potency / fertility.
My test cases show Ra-Ket probably are generally adverse.....for Sat and Mar my suggestion is to
look closely as to how good or bad they are overall in natives chart.
In my read Mars's influence on Kshetra would indicate surgical processes for Kshetra and Shani
will be delays for both beej and Kshetra.
Instead of outright denials of conception especially if Ma and Sat are well placed in the chart.

11)One other theory is if the Kshetra falls in the house of sun or conjunct or aspected by it's
direct rays....it's fertility is burnt ( equivalent of combustion).......I am not sure and haven't been
able to validate this pasrt.
12) The Beeja and Kshetra sphuta must be used in conjunction with the 5th house/ Jup-the-karak
and D7 analysis as an addtional tool for indepth inidctaion and validation of fertility/ conception
matters and not standalone.
13) Rasi chart is the best and first place to start......various commnentaries recommend repeating
it in Navamsa / and/ or Saptamsa.
I am more inclined to look at it in saptamsa if time permits, although Rasi has generally been
suificient to get additional indicators.

One other factor to examine is Venus.....if combusted or debilitated would have an impact on
fertility.
Because Venus rules semen in men and femal reproductive organs in women.
Combustion is more adverse then debolitation...because combustion is a phsycical phenomenon
and affects the physical things ruled by Venus...as opposed to debilitation that will affect more
the emotional aspects of \venus..althouhg both will have an adverse affect.
so to answer complete questions on fertility/ conception one must look at:
1) The conventional 5th house and putrakarak analysis in D1 and D7.
2) Beeja and Kshetra Sphuta calculations and analysis
3) Venus combustions first and even debilittaion.
for lack of time when I answer queries in childbirth section I look at generally item-1 whihc is

the highest weight of the 3 items.

Don't jump to any conclusions seeing only item-3 standalone because combustion and
debilitation of Venus is not very uncommon.
