6/ Q & A
Incest/Sexual Abuse
Q. In Holland about 35% of the children are sexually abused. How can I see incest in a horoscope? What astrological indications are there? Please help.
R. I have some more example charts for this:
This lady was raped by her stepfather at the age of 10. As a result, she gained considerable weight to the stage of obesity. I have seen this happen in several child abuse cases.
She has problems in establishing partner relationships and is very worried about her marriage and children, if they are going to be at all.
Let’s have a look at the Raçi chart.
Female: 7th Sept 1969, 17:25hrs Tz1E00 14E31 45N51
7th house has Venus and Moon, which in themselves indicate
excessive sexual attraction emanating from the lady. However, it receives
the Rasi Dristi of Rahu from the 2nd house (which may indicate
difficulties in childhood coming from parents). Interestingly, the 7th
house has Venus, which is Gnatikaraka, and I would consider that from the
Chara Karakas, this is the one indicating the relationship with the
stepfather the most. Plus Venus is the lord of the 10th house
which is the 7th from the 4th, so it may indicate the
husband of the mother, who is not the father. In another sense we could
consider the stepfather being indicated by the 3rd from the 9th,
i.e. the 11th house, which has Mars in own house. If this is the
house taken for the stepfather (he is like the younger brother of the real
father) then consider it s lord Ketu being in the 8th house with
the Sun (natural karaka for father), both planets giving a Paapargala on the
7th house
Also Darapada (Arudha of the 7th) should be
looked for sexual relations. This Arudha is placed in the 4th
house together with the Arudha Lagna, and retrograde Saturn. This may give
an inferiority complex to the native because of this sexual abuse, and she
may subconsciously accuse her mother because of it. The lord of the Darapada
is again Mars, which we have once identified with the stepfather, and it
aspects the 4th house from the 11th. Now Saturn is
retrograde, and is being aspected by 4 malefics (Rahu, Ketu,Sun and Mars).
This appears to be some curse from the previous life either by the father or
the mother. Navamsa has debilitated Sun (adharma connected to father) in the
8th from karakamsha. Plus the Sun is the lord of Navamsha Lagna,
which also contains Moon-Saturn conjunction. 2nd house in
Navamsha may also indicate sexual desires, and it’s aspected by Mercury and
exalted Rahu. In D-12 the 7th house is aspected by 4 malefics,
and the Sun is exalted in the 6th house with Mercury, so this may
again indicate sexual abuse and strained relationships with the stepfather.
Thus you see that the areas of sex life and father are quite afflicted, and
interlinked. The most interesting thing in this chart is that Mars, which
was mainly indicating the stepfather's offensive activities, is the
Atmakaraka. Thus she had the karma to go through this shocking experience in
order to correct some inproper things in her character and to be able to
advance towards God. By the way the event happened in Cancer Mahadasa in D-1
Narayana Dasa, in Saturn/Mars or Sat/Moon Vimsottari, and in Ge/Ta Kalacakra
Dasa (see it in Navamsa). The role of the Ak is supported by AK Kendradi
Graha Dasa of Mars being active at that time. This Dasa indicates the
experiences of the soul.
