As regards female horoscopy, it appears as though none was particular in expounding exclusive and elaborate treatment on it. In Indian astrology the little that is known is from Varahamihira and in Jaimini school of thought, Somanath has dealt with it in an interesting and novel way in his Kalpalatha.

In the female nativity, if the birth Ascendant is an even sign, reckon the houses in clockwise direction and if the birth Ascendant is an odd sign, reckon the houses in anti-clockwise direction. But from the Drekkana Ascendant, reckon always, whether odd or even, in anti-clockwise direction. Judge the following significations in the female nativity of the twelve houses of both the birth Ascendant and Drekkana Ascendant.

Ascendant=Physique; 2nd
House=Facial features; 3rd House=Breasts and buttocks; 4th House=Ornaments; 5th House=Character and Conduct; 6th House=Other women who her husband marries; 7th House=Hair; nature of the husband, kind or cruel, loving or not; 8th House=Female organ; 9th House=Duties, prosperity of the husband; 10th House=Piety, character or faithfulness to husband; 11th House=Gains and luxuries; 12th House=Ears and feet;

The above significations can be judged by the benefic or malefic planetary associations in the houses. Besides, the following are the specific results by the planetary combinations in the below-mentioned houses.
