In Brihat Jataka, it is explained that when challenging planets are strong and occupy their own Dwadasamsas (12th divisions of a sign), while beneficial planets are less dominant and in Dwadasamsas not their own, and the rising sign (Lagna) is a Viyoni (a specific classification), the astrologer may declare the birth as Viyonijanma.
This corresponds to the form indicated by the 12th portion of the sign occupied by the Moon, provided that the Rasi owning this 12th portion is also a Viyoni.
By analyzing the rising sign, Dwadasamsa placements, and planetary aspects, the astrologer can predict the colors and markings of the creature born under Viyoni classification, including the variety of hues and streaks on the animal's back, based on planets in the Lagna and the 7th house respectively.
The Dwadasamsa and Viyoni concepts in Vedic astrology offer a nuanced understanding of an individual's life path, incorporating the intricate roles played by challenging and beneficial planets within the divisions of signs. The position of these planets, particularly in relation to the Moon and rising sign, provides insights into prosperity areas like agriculture, livestock, and aquatic endeavors. This method allows astrologers to predict not only personal traits but also outward characteristics, exemplifying the thorough nature of Vedic birth analysis.
