If the Moon, Mars, Saturn and the Sun are placed in the four centres of the birth chart, then this is an inauspicious sign for the concerned person.

If the Moon, Saturn, Sun and Mars are placed in the Lagna (1st house), 9th house and 8th house respectively, this combination is considered as harmful and inauspicious, but if a powerful planet like Jupiter is looking at the planets positioned in the above mentioned houses, it neutralises the inauspiciousness.

If the Moon is combined with an inauspicious planet, especially with Mars and if there is no auspicious planet looking at them, and if there is an inauspicious planet in the Lagna (1st house) itself, all these combinations are considered harmful.

If a weak Moon (from 6th day of the Krishna Paksha to 10th day of the Shukla Paksha) is placed in the twelfth house and there is an inauspicious planet placed in both the Lagna (1st house) and the eighth house, and also if there is no auspicious planet sitting in any of the centres, it is considered as harmful and inauspicious.

If a weak Moon is placed in the Lagna and there are inauspicious planets sitting in the eighth house and the centre, this causes anguish and sorrow.

If inauspicious planets are sighting a weak Moon, this is considered as inauspicious.

If the Moon is placed in any of the fourth, seventh and eighth houses and surrounded by inauspicious planets, it causes death and calamity.

If the Moon, combined with an inauspicious planet, is placed in any of the 5th or 7th, 9th or 12th or Lagna (1st house) or 8th houses and if it is not combined with or being sighted by any of the powerful planets like Venus, Mercury or Jupiter, the concerned child faces imminent death.

If the Lagnesh (Lord of ascendant house) is an inferior planet (Neecha) and also combined with the Sun, or if both Lagnesh and the Sun are placed in the eighth house, then the child born with these combination in his birth chart faces premature death and even if he survives, he is unhealthy and suffers from deadly diseases.

If the Jupiter is not placed in the eighth house and the Lagnesh (Lord of ascendant) is combined with an inauspicious planet, if there is an inauspicious planet even in the third house, and if Saturn is looking at the combination of Lagnesh and inauspicious planet, it shows sudden and premature death.

Astrologers opine that it is unnecessary to determine the age (life span) of the child till he attains the age of 8 years. If a child dies before reaching the age of 4, it is because of the mother's sins, if he dies between the age of 4 and 8 years, it is because of his father's sins, if a child dies between the age of 8 and 12 years, it is because of the sinful actions committed in his previous birth.

The means and ways for the pacification of the inauspicious planets have been described in astrological books. In this way, the effects of the inauspicious planets or inauspicious combination of planets can be nullified and neutralised and they become harmless.

A powerful Moon neutralises the ill effect of a child born in 'Nakshatra Gandanta' and 'Tithi Gandanta'. A powerful Jupiter neutralises the ill effects of a child born in 'Lagna Gandanta' provided, if both Moon and Jupiter themselves are not tormented by an inauspicious planet.

If a daughter is born after three successive sons or a son is born after three successive daughters, it is called 'TRIKHALA DOSHA' and it causes problems to the mother of the girl child and the mother's clan or the father of the boy child and father's clan respectively.
