ne among the various important events which an astrologer is asked to predict in a nativity is begetting children. Whether a native will have children or not depends on the promise in the charts of two people, Husband and Wife, unlike other events which can be predicted with the help of individual chart. There is a lot of literature on this particular aspect and all the books without any hesitation declare that Jupiter is the planet and from 5th house this event can be predicted. A question arises, is it enough if these two aspects are looked at for the purpose of prediction? In my opinion and experience it is not so, there are so many factors required to be kept in mind for this purpose. Further, certain rules have exceptions without knowing them applying them in predictions may go wrong. For example, as per the principle Karako Bhava Nashaya if a planet who is karaka for an event if present in the house which represents the event it spoils the house. To be more elaborate, Jupiter is the karaka for children and 5th house is the house which represents it. If this rule is applied straight away we
will fail because, there are so many people in whose charts Jupiter is in 5th house having children. If one thinks that this principle is not correct he is right as he is not aware of how to apply this rule. I came to know how to apply this rule when I read New Techniques Of Prediction I & II written by Late Shri. Sheshadri Iyer (a great astrologer who claims that he has given only those principles in his book which he has used and work without any failure) clarified that this works when the karaka is in the Ascendant of the relevant Divisional chart. Another great astrologer Shri Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murthy after study of more than 50,000 charts comes out with one of the best books in astrology (Jataka Narayaneeyam), has given certain points applying Jaimini principles to study the Child Birth. So on so forth, there are so many scholars who have given some of the points which are required to be kept in our kitty for the purpose of prediction. As student one may not go through many books but as a teacher (student) I felt one should know maximum points on each aspect. With this aim I tried to compile points pertaining to Progeny which are scattered and brought them in the form of notes for use in general. If one follows the following rules/steps for predicting birth of children a fairly good prediction can be given.
Analysis Male Chart: If Beeja Sputa falls: a) In odd sign D-1 and D-9, having progeny can be safely predicted. b) In odd sign in D-1 and in even Sign in D-9 or vice-versa then birth of children with difficulty (by following remedial measures) or delay can be predicted. c) In even sign both in D-1 and D-9, there is no possibility of having children.
Santana Tithi
Deduct the longitude of Sun from the longitude of the Moon, multiply the result by 5 and then divide the multiplication result by 12. Santana Tithi= ((Long of Moon-Long of Sun) 5) /12. If Santana Tithi falls in the Brighter Half (SP) (when Moon is ahead of Sun in Longitude) then progeny is indicated. Even if Santana Tithi falls in Brighter Half (SP) 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 12th and 14th tithis are not good for progeny and similarly Visti, Chatushpada, Naga and Kinstughna (Shakuni) Karanas are not good for begetting children. If Santana Tithi falls in the Dark Half (1 to 5th lunar day) then children will be born. If Santana Tithi falls on 6th tithi then children will be born but with difficulty and through the help of remedial measures. If Santana Tithi falls between 7th and 10th (KP) tithis children will be born from the second marriage after performing remedial measures. If Santana Tithi falls on 11th tithi of New moon then the chances of having children are remote.
Many issues are indicated if Jupiter as Lord of 8th house is strong and is aspected by Lagna Lord. Powerful Lord of 2nd house posited in 5th house and aspected by Jupiter indicates birth of children. When the Lord of Navamsha occupied by the lord of 5th house is conjoined or aspected by benefics or when the Lord of 5th house is in benefic Saptavarga or when the Lord of Navamsha occupied by Lord of 5th house is in Ascendant, then birth of children is assured. 1st child should be seen from 5th house, 2nd children from 7th house and 3rd children from 9th house. In D-9 dispositor of the 5th lord and Jupiter need to be considered. Their position in Rasi chart should be strong. In D-7 Lagna and Lagna Lord need to be considered.
Absence of Progeny
Lord of Ascendant, Lord of Moon sign, Lord of 5th house, Lord of 7th house and Jupiter are weak. Lord of Ascendant, Lord of Moon sign, Lord of 7th house, 5th House and Jupiter are posited in 6th, 8th and 12th houses. The 5th house is occupied or aspected by malefic planet. Sun is placed in odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) and Moon in even Navamsha (Virgo/Capricorn) with mutual aspect in D-1 chart. Saturn is placed in even Navamsha (Virgo/Capricorn) and Mercury in odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) with mutual aspect in D-1. Sun is placed in even Navamsha (Virgo/Capricorn) and Mars in odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) with mutual aspect in D-1. Moon is placed in Ascendant in an odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) aspected by Mars from an even Navamsha (Virgo/Capricorn).
Moon is placed in even Navamsha (Virgo/Capricorn) and Mercury is placed in odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) aspect by Mars. When Venus, Ascendant and Moon are all placed in odd Navamsha (Gemini/Aquarius) indicate the possibility of birth of transgender or eunuch. The 5th house from Ascendant, Moon and Jupiter conjoined or aspected by malefic planets, surrounded by malefic or their Lords are posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses then no children is indicated. The 12th house occupied by the lords of the 2nd, 4th, 8th houses and aspected by malefic. Mars occupying own Navamsha and in D-1 chart Mercury as Lord of 5th house is conjoined with malefic planet. Saturn aspected by Moon in the 5th house and Lord of the 5th house conjoined with Rahu. Sun posited in the 5th house in a barren sign, Saturn in 8th house and Mars in Ascendant. The 4th Lord in 8th house and Ascendant Lord and 5th Lord placed in 6th house and 6th and 10th Lords occupy the Ascendant. Jupiter placed in Leo, 5th Lord conjoined with Sun and malefics occupying the Ascendant and the 5th house. Sun placed in 8th house, Saturn in 5th house and 5th Lord conjoined with Rahu.
Adoption of a child
The 5th house falls in Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius and has association or aspect of Saturn or Mandi. The 5th Lord is weak and has no connection with Ascendant Lord and 7th Lord. The 9th House is afflicted by Saturn with Mandi and Ascendant Lord badly disposed to 9th house and its Lord. Lord of the 5th house is in a sign of Saturn in Navamsha and is in conjunction with Mercury and Saturn. The 5th house from Jupiter in the AshtakaVarga of Jupiter contains more benefics points contributed by planets occupying the signs of Saturn either in Rashi or Navamsha. The Moon is placed in 5th house either in Rasi or Navamsha in a sign owned by Saturn and is associated with planets other than Saturn. If the Lord of 5th house is in Saturns sign in Navamsha and Jupiter and Saturn are in their own sign then a son is born after adoption.
Number of Children
Take the 5th and 9th houses from Jupiter in Jupiters BAV. Let's say that 5th house has 4 points and 9th house has 4 points too. The points contributed by the following planets must be excluded: 1. Jupiters enemy planets; 2. 5th Lords enemy planets;
_______________________________________ _______________________________
As per Jaimini method though Sun and Rahu are natural malefic planets, but for the purpose of
children they are considered as Bahu Putra Karakas Ravi Rahu Gurubhi Bahuputraha (Bahu means more than two, Putra denotes children (son) and Karaka is significator).
Planets in debilitation; Planets placed in enemy house; Planets owning the debilitation sign of Jupiter and 5th Lord; Points contributed by Saturn (Since Saturn owns Capricorn, the debilitation sign of Jupiter). The remaining count indicates the number of children.
3. 4. 5. 6.

Aspects of retrograde planets should also be evaluated as if they are placed in the previous house.
