For one of klība (neuter/impotent) constitution, birth is said to occur when the Moon’s and Sun’s aṁśas (fractional divisions) are equal. If malefics stand in their own divisions while benefics fall into others’ divisions, and if the ascendant is ruled by a benefic, that birth is called “viyonija,” not born from the womb.
