1-3. A Female Menstruation. Without the knowledge of conception time one cannot understand the effects of the various divisions, like Rasi. That is why I explain below about conception, which is the cause of births of all animals. As a result of Moon's transit in Anupachaya Rasis and in aspect of Mars, a female obtains her menses. The Moon is water and Mars is fire. Water produces blood and fire produces bile. When blood is enraged by bile, the women gets her menstruation.

4-7. The menstruation so caused makes the female capable of conception. If the Moon is in Upachaya, it makes the menses defunct for conception. However, if the Moon in Upachaya is aspected by Jupiter, or her friends, or especially Venus, the woman affectionately cohabits with the male. If the Moon is aspected by Mars, the female unites with a person other than husband. The Sun, if aspecting the Moon, indicates a king, while Saturn aspecting denotes a servant. Similar inferences should be made, if the Moon is aspected by malefics only, without aspect of benefics. If the Moon is aspected by malefics, like Mars, then the female gives up her home and becomes a prostitute.

8-10. The 7^th House from Lagna at the time of copulation indicates the disposition of the couple. If there is a malefic's aspect to the Lagna at the time of copulation, the couple unites angrily and with quarrel. Should it be benefic's aspect, then the sexual enjoyment will be (pleasing), as enumerated by Vatasyayana Maharsi. If there be both malefic and benefic aspects on the 7^th, the sexual act is mixed in nature. According to one's past deeds, to ripe its fruits the semen enters the womb and conception ensues.
