Twins born in two different countries!


This news item reported by BBC attracted my attention as this is unheard of before and that I had done some research on twin's charts a few years back. The link to the actual story is given below:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-18767549.

The story goes like this:


A mother from Northumberland gave birth to twins less than two hours apart in two different countries.
Donna Keenan, 28, gave birth to Dylan Joseph at about 22:00 BST on 1 July in the living room of her house in Wooler.
After being taken 40 miles by ambulance to Borders General Hospital in Melrose, Scotland, Hannah Rose was born at 23:39 BST.
Miss Keenan and boyfriend, Joe Fox, 24, were watching the final of Euro 2012 when she went into labour.

I was curious to check out if the three rules that I formulated for twin charts would be applicable in this special case of twin births. Those who are interested in my write-up can take a look at Unique features of a twin's chart

Adopting Parent




-    An astro-analysis

In Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS), in the chapter on "Effects of the Bhava Lords", the following shloka talks about the possibility of a native adopting a child.

सुतेशे व्ययभावस्ये जातः पुत्रसुखॊज्झितः 
दत्तपुत्रयुतॊ वासौ क्रितपुत्रान्वितॊ तवा 

The translation of the above shloka is as follows:

If the 5th lord is in the 12th bhava, the native will be bereft of happiness from his own sons. He will have an adopted or purchased son.
