Queries answered

What is Balaarishtam? Can we know it from the horoscope of a child? What are the remedies to be taken?

S. Vimala, Bangalore-32.

BALAARISHTAM refers to a child fated to suffer from various ailments. Planetary combinations and placements in the natal horoscope can indicate the presence of such danger. Some strong indications of Balaarishtam are: the 5th occupied by Saturn, Rahu, or Kethu; the Moon in 6th or 8th from Lagna, when that Sign is owned by a natural malefic; malefics occupying the 8th; Saturn and Mars in the 6th, 8th, or 12th. A native with poorva punya blessings, and support of parents faith, can have the evil mitigated by right worship and penance undertaken as early as possible.
