Children: An insight into Astrological Principles

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

The question of children arises after marriage. For knowing about the children, it is necessary, rather it is preferred to have the astro-analysis of the horoscopes of both the husband and wife. Among other factors, the role of Jupiter – the significator of children, 5^th house and 5^th Lord must be taken into account. Mars-Ketu influence on the 5^th lord and 5^th House may speak of surgery and ceaserian operation etc.

There are many theories about the number of children including the number of planets in the 5^th House and influence of planets on the 5^th house. But I find that the traditional astrological principles may not stand to test in view of various controlled methods not to have conception and have the child as per convenience of the couple. Be that as it may, the astrological principles continue to serve as a guinding force not following the controlled methods.

Early delivery and untimely births are also indicated by the planetary position and at the same time it may speak of some defects in the sexual organs of the couple and even of one of them. Remedial measures as per astrology may be beneficial if the lady is medically fit to conceive. I had seen the horoscope of a lady whose right tube was badly damaged and if at all the conception takes place, extra care may be needed under medical advice.

Survival of children mainly depend on the position of planetary forces at birth. There are bad Nakshtras including Gandha Nakshtras under which infant may not survive beyond a couple of days/months/years – here comes the need for propitiation of planets and God’s grace.

Now have a look on some of the following very important astrological principles:

1. If the lord of the 5^th house from the Ascendant (Lagna) or the Moon, and Jupiter are in the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 7^th, 9^th, 10^th and 11^th places, or if the 5^th house has the aspect of a benefic planet or owner of the house or has association with a benefic, or if the lords of the 1^st and the 5^th are associated together, or aspect each other mutually, or occupy each other’s house, the birth of children is assured.

2. If the 5^th house counted from Ascendant (Lagna), the Moon or Jupiter is either associated with or aspected by a malefic and devoid of benefics or their aspects or when the 5^th houses have malefics on either side or the lords of the above houses are in the 6^th, 8^th or 12^th places, there will be no issue, even if propitiatory ceremonies are undertaken.

3. If a malefic owns the 5^th house and is posited there, the person will have issues. If a benefic owns the 5^th house and is posited there, the person will have issues. If a benefic owns the 5^th house and is posited there, and although he is associated with a malefic, the person will have many sons.

4. If Mars is in the 5^th house there will be loss of children. The signs of Scorpio, Virgo, and Leo are not good signs for issues, and if they happen to be the 5^th houses, the person will have limited progeny after a long time.

5. If the Sun is in the above bad signs for issues (Scorpio, Virgo and Leo), Saturn in the 8^th or in the Acendant; or Saturn in the 1^st, Jupiter in the 8^th and Mars in the 12^th: there will be issue, after performance of propitiatory ceremonies. Also when the Moon is in the 11^th and the 5^th house reckoned from Jupiter is occupied by a malefic, and there are many planets in the Ascendant (Lagna) the person will have a child late in life after doing propitiatory ceremonies.

6. If the Sun alone is in Cancer (of 5^th House), or when Mars or Venus alone is posited similarly in the 5^th (Cancer), the person will beget issue by his second wife. Saturn in such a position may give many children. If either the Moon or Mercury is similarly situated he will have few issues; and if Jupiter is posited in Moon’s (Cancer) house which is also the 5^th, he will have many daughters. The principle of Jupiter here giving daughters need testing with reference to actual Horoscopes.
