INTERCOUSE

Ideally intercourse should be avoided:

1) Gandant Dosh

This could be of 3 types..

a) End of one "tithi" and beginning of another tithi.

b) End of one nakshatra and the beginning of another nakshatra.

c) End of one lagan and the beginning of another.

End of ashlesha(last 2 ghatika) and beginning of megha

End of jyeshtha and beginning of moola

End of revati and beginning of ashwini

similarly..

End of cancer lagan and beginning of leo

End of vishchik lagan and beginning of dhanu

End of pieces lagan and beginning of mesh

2) Native's birth nakshatra should be avoided

3) 7th nakshatra from the birth nakshatra should also be avoided

4) Ashwini, bharani, megha, revati, and moola bhi "varjit" hai..

5) The day should not be under the influence of sun or moon eclipse.

6) first half (poorvardh) of yog vyatipat, vaighriti, parigha .

7) "shradh din " of parents

8) 8th lagan from the birth rashi and birth lagan.

9) Lagan in which paap grah are placed also should be avoided.

10) Nakshatras in which malefic planets are placed.

11) Rashi in which malefic planets are placed

12) 6th tithi of shukla and krishna paksha..

13) chaturdashi, ashtami, amavasya on any festival and full moon of surya
sankrati

14) On sunday, saturday, and tuesday

15) First 4 nights of the monthly periods of the women...

Now before going further would like to focus on this 15th point...

As per our texts the women could be declared pure enough for
intercourse( In modern language, the possibility of sexually transmitted
diseases will not be present) only after the 4 nights of the monthly
periods.

However There may or may not be the possibility of successful

intercourse( which makes the woman pregnant) ...but in case it results
into pregnancy then the following results concerning with the child will
take place..with respect to the night of period in which an intercourse is
happening..

(These nights have to be counted from the day of the commencement of

the month's menses of the woman)

On the 4th night Itself- Will result into a male child of short life span.

On the 5th night - Will result into a normal girl child.

On the 6th night- Will result into a male child who will expand the family.
On the 7th night - Will result into a girl child who would not be capable of
conceiving.

On the 8th night - Will result into a male child.

On the 9th night - Will result into a very beautiful girl child.

On the 10th night- Will result into a male child who will lord over many
and will acquire very high stature.

On the 11th night - Will result into a ugly girl child.

On the 12th night- Will result into a well respected and rich male child.

On the 13th night - Will result into a girl child who will execute bad deeds
in her life and her character would be questionable.

On the 14th night - Will result into a male child who will follow righteous
(dharam oriented) path in his life and will try to seek god himself.

On the 15th night- Will result into a girl child who will be become very very
rich in her life. She would analogous to goddess laxmi in terms of money.

On the 16th night - Will result into a male child who would be the knower
of all things(very knowledgeable and respected)...will seek god in the
end...

here you could well notice that male child is resulting on even nights
(4th,6th,8th,10th,12th,14th and 16th) and similarly on odd nights-girl
child...

Coming back to the topic...

16) The Evening time..

17) The nakshatra or rashi or day..which had witnessed some inauspicious
event in the family of the native..should also be avoided..

18) "rikta tithi of chaturthi(4th), navmi(9th) and chaturdashi(14th) tithi

intercourse lagan.

4) when male planets aspects the lagan.

5) Moon should be placed in visham rashi (odd-1,3,5,7,9,11) in lagan and

navamsa charts..

7) presence of moon,jupiter or mercury in lagan is an ideal condition..

If the rashi's mentioned in the above points are odd..then male child
would be born and girl child would be born in the vice versa condition...
