very little has been written in Hindu manuscripts of astrology on this topic.
The reason for such an omission might be that there were very negligible/no
instances worth mentioning on prostitution in Treta and Dwapara yugas and
the early days of Kali Yuga during which period our ancients had written
books on astrology. Commencing with Maharishi Parasara, of late
prostitution has become a novelty as part of civilization or for making out a
living by the helpless pitiable women in the lower rungs of society. Hindu
mythology speaks of adultery here and there. There are several reasons for
that, for example let us consider the case of Ahalya in Ramayana. No less
than king of Devas is said to have stooped to this heinous level of seducing
the wife of a Maharishi and that she knowingly and willingly committed the
sin as evidenced by Valmiki Ramayana. Her husband Gowthoma cursed
Indra and as a result of which he lost both his testicles. On return to his place
Indra tells Devatas and Rishis that he resorted to such an action for
“fulfilment of Deva Karma”. This was agreed to by all in an unanimous
manner as a just reason and they replaced his testicles by that of a goat.
There is much to be said in the matter. But for the purpose of this article I
have mentioned a case as an example.
Even though as I said earlier that it is not possible to collect data, yet some
planetary positions in a given chart indicate the weak character of a woman
or man. Mahadeva vide his famous book Jataka Tatva says (Some of the
yogas are mentioned here).
1. If Venus and Budha occupy any one of the houses viz. 7th, 8th or 10th the
native will be a Vyabhichari.
2. If Venus and Mars (Kuja) occupy 10th and 7th houses the native will be
an adulterer. Here the aspect of Mars on Venus is important.
3. If the lords 10 and 4 be Venus and Mars the native is an adulterer (Here
also the mutual relationship of Venus & Mars figures).
4. If Venus occupies 10th house from Moon and Sani occupies 10th from
thence the native will be a profligate. (Here the mutual aspect of Sani &
Moon is present. Sani is not aspecting Venus. As such why Venus is
introduced is not known Sani should be in 11 to Venus).
8. When the lord of 7th house is in conjunction with Nodes and aspected by
a malefic make the native a profligate.
10. When Venus and Mars are posited in 12 to Karakamsa the native will be
of loose morals.
15. Moon with Mars and Sani in 7th house – the native and his wife will be
adulterous.
19. Ravi in 7 makes one to have intercourse with a barren lady. Same is the
result if Mars is in 7th house – but here the time of intercourse will be when
she is in her monthly course.
21. Moon in conjunction with a malefic occupies 9th house, the native will
meet his teachers wife. Same is the result if Moon and the lord of 9, or
Venus with lord of 9 be conjoined with a malefic.
25. Waning Moon with a malefic in 7th house or if lord of 8 & 9 are
together.
26. Lord of 7th be conjoined with a malefic. Budha in 7; Venus and Guru
with malefics occupy 2, 6 or 7 Bhavas, Lord of Lagna with a malefic, Lord
of Lagna in Lagna.
27. If three of the Kendras are occupied by malefics, the native will cohabit
like a quadruped.
28. Note the planet occupying the Navamsa occupied by the lord of 7, if the
lord of Navamsa occupied by the planet be conjoined with a benefic, has
attained parvatha or higher Vargas and be strong, the native will have
intercourse with a hundred females.
29. When lord of 6, 8 and 9 houses are in conjunction with malefics and also
be aspected by malefics the wife of the native will be an adulterous. Same is
the case result when lord of 8 occupies 8th house; Ravi, Mars, Budha, Venus
and Sani occupy a Dustana the result is the same; the same is the result when
Venus related to Mars, Sani and Rahu is conjoined with lord of 7 while
Bhavas 2 & 12 are occupied by malefics, Budha as lord of 7 occupying
Meena Rasi or Karkataka Rasi duly aspected by malefics and posited in a
Dustana with papargala.
30. The woman commits adultery when Rahu with Sani occupy lagna.
31. Budha with Sukra and Sani occupy 7 or 10 Bhavas owned by Venus
make his wife an adulteress or when the Navamsa of 7th Bhava occupies a
malefic Rasi or when lord of 1 & 7 are in conjunction and eclipsed or
malefics in 7 and 12 while waning Moon occupies 5th Bhava or 7th Bhava;
or Sani, Mars, Rahu or Ketu occupying 10th Bhava devoid of benefic
relationship; or lord of 3 occupying 4 or 5 Bhavas devoid of benefic aspect;
or lord of 7 in 4 or 11 while lord or 8 occupies 8th; lord of 7 related to Rahu
occupies the lagna; or lord of 7 in conjunction with Mars, Venus and Rahu;
or Venus and Mars related to Sani occupy Sani Rasi; or when 7th Bhava is
posited in Sani Rasi while Venus and Mars devoid of benefic influence
occupy Mars or Venus Rasi in Navamsa; or Venus and Mars in Parivarthana
and being aspected by Sani and Rahu; or Moon and Lagna when are devoid
of Guru’s aspect while lord of Lagna occupies an inimical Navamsa; or lord
of 5 in 5 with Sani while Rahu is conjoined with Moon; or Guru in 8 and
Moon in 12 are aspected by malefics; or Rahu with lord of 5 occupies 5th
Bhava when Moon is aspected by Guru; or Guru occupying an inimical
house while his disposition duly aspected by a malefic occupies the 5th
house; or Guru conjoined with Venus or Budha occupies 5th Bhava duly
aspected by Ravi and Mars, or Ravi in conjunction Moon devoid of Guru’s
aspect while lagna lord occupies an inimical Navamsa make ones wife beget
children by committing adultery.
Some more yogas where a married woman commits adultery: for Makara
Lagna Moon conjoined with a malefic occupies a malefic Navamsa; weak
Mars as lord of 7 posited in a Krura Shastyamsa in debilitation/inimical/
eclipsed state happen to occupy a Vihaga Drekkana, or Budha as lord of 7 in
conjunction with malefics is posited in 8th Bhava in debilitation/inimical/
eclipsed state with papargala and malefic aspect; or Venus as lord of 7th in
the above defined state occupies Krura shastyamsa; or Sani as lord of 7 in
the above state aspected by malefics and posited in a Dustana owned by a
malefic or one of the nodes in conjunction with Mars are posited in a
Krunavamsa; or a Benefic in 7 in debilitation/inimical house; or Moon with
Venus and Sani posited in 7th house duly aspected by Mars.
There are some more yogas connecting Mon, Mars, Venus and Sani with 3
or 4 or 7 or 12 Bhavas or 12th Bhava to Karakamsa.
