Twin Birth - Based on Krishnamurti Padhdhati (Set of 2 Volumes)

If twins are born with a few minutes difference, Rasi chart and Navamsa chart remain the same in almost all the cases of twins. The only difference in some cases is the Moon's dasa balance by a few days. When the Rasi and Navamsa charts remain virtually the same, how can be explain the differences between the life styles of the twins when one among them studied Engineering and another Medicine, one among them getting love marriage and another not married. One among them goes abroad and another never crosses his home town. One among them has many issues and another has no issues. One among them is fair in colour and another black in colour. One among them lives longer and another dies soon.

Such differences in the lives of twins revealed many secrets. Guruji Sri. K.S.K. divided further each star or constellation of 13'20" into further sub-divisions, the extent of each being the extent of each planet's proportion in the Dasa period of 120 years which is called as Vimshottari Dasa period.

Actually the Birth Time of a child is determined by the exact moment when the whole body of the child gets separated from the mother.

According to Krishnamurti Padhdhati, it is the sublord of the cusp of a house which indicates whether the matters of the houses are positive or negative. If the sublord of the 3rd cusp is in the constellation of a planet occupying a dual sign or it itself is in a dual sign or if the cusp receives good aspects from a planet in a dual sign. Only in these cases there will be plurailty of brothers or sisters or both.

In case of twins, when one of them happens to be a boy, the other a girl then eventhough according to traditional system the lagna remains in the same sign, star and navamsa. Yet to each the number of brothers or sisters will be found. Traditional Astrology cannot be helpful. Because the twin brother will have among brothers one less and among sisters one more. But the twin sister will have among brothers one more and among sisters one less. i.e., if other than the twins whose parents would have had two sons and two daughters then the twin boy will have two brothers.

In the research after 1967 it was found that we have to take always the lagna alone. We should never judge which is stronger whether Moon sign or lagna. The main reason is that in a 'Twin Birth' only the cusps of the house including ascendant change whereas Moon is in the same position. If twins are born one with Rahu as the sublord of the 12th house cusp and the other twin with the sublord of the 12th cusp as Jupiter, then even though,

1) The planets are in the same bhava,

2) Dasa and Bhukti same

3) Ashtaka Varga same,

4) Gochara same

One enjoys and the other disappointed. When two people have the same chart with less than 1/2 a degree difference in lagna position one is able to differentiate by applying K.P. only.

For example, twins are born; one having its meridian in Venus sign Taurus in Moon star Rohini and the sub of Saturn. This person deals in Petrol. But, the next born will have his meridian in Venus sign, Taurus in Moon star Rohini and in the sub of Mercury. This brother deals in cotton and silk products.

Let us take another example. One of the twins both with Meridian in 210 Leo is an educationalist and another advocate. Because the Meridian has fallen in Leo ruled by Sun in Poorvapalguni star governed by Venus and in the sub of Jupiter who indicates Law and Education.

But the other twin whose Meridian was in 27 IS a Medical practitioner because this point in the Zodiac in Leo is owned by sun in Uthrapalguni Star governed by Sun and also in the sub of Sun.

Though birth of Twins has been rare a few years ago, they have become very common nowadays. Childless couples, who fail to conceive even after several years of married life opt for the artificial method of conception through the test-tube method, not withstanding the high cost, by taking treatment in recognised hospitals, fertility clinics etc and they invariably give birth to twin after completion of treatment, either both male or female or one male and the other a female.Twins born, after the mandatory period of growth in the mother's womb are separated by Caesarian operation. Due to advanced medical technology, the twins are removed from the mother's womb within an interval of a couple of minutes. Thus twins born through the artifical method have a difference of hardly a minute or so in their birth time.

Horoscopes prepared for single births present no difficulty for interpretation and prediction. This is because, when the horoscopes are cast for the twins, they look almost identical in the sign position, star position, planetary position, cuspal position etc.,

Even the cuspal sub lords of all the 12 cusps may be identical. But it is a fact that twins in real life, have different lifestyles, different pattern of behaviour, differing educational achievements, different career etc., so to achieve perceptible differences in their horoscopes, and to amplify the differences, the only way out is to draw up their horoscopes working out the cuspal and planetary positions upto "sub-sub" level. Nay, even upto the "Sub sub-sub" level (Triple sub).

Even after such microscopic division, not all the cusps, and their connection to the other principal cusps (good or bad) may reveal the pattern of difference.

Nowadays, since most of the child-births take place in rural and urban hospitals, the birth-time as recorded by the hospital authorities, is mostly relied upon. When a doctor and other para-medical staff are attending on a labour case, they are bound to pay proper attention on the safety aspects of delivery only and are not expected to keep an "eagle eye" on the clock time of birth. So much so, the time of birth given may not be accurate and may differ by several minutes from the time of actual birth. So horoscopes cast based on the timings given by hospital authorities may ultimately prove to be erroneous. So as advised by our Guruji, the late KSK, the correction of birth-time should invariably be ensured by the rectification of birth time through the Ruling Planet Method.
