Progeny in Jyotish I: Fertility of Parents

Introduction

About Me

In human life, the birth of children occupies a very prominent place. The parents
find their own image in their children and see the progression of their lineage
though the future of their children. The mother has to pass through nine months
of grooming of the infant, with all it takes, which a mother can better
understand and the results are still uncertain. Many of them are born still, many
of them are born with incapability and many get eradicated from their very start
of journey. Every thing has a very profound impact on the parents and their
future.

Method of Deha (Jaimini Sutras)

The method of Deha given by Maharishi Jaimini in Upadesha Sutra is infallible in

predicting the fertility or procreative ability of the native. Pt. Rath explains this

in the following words-

This method is based on the Rasi chart. Determine the arudha padas of the

third and ninth house from the Lagna and the Sun. The arudha padas of the 3rd

and 9th from the Sun (AS3 and AS9) constitute the ability to sustain the Atma
(soul- signified by Sun) in the form of Sperm (i.e., the sperms should have life in
them). The arudha padas of the third and ninth from the Lagna (A3 and A9)

constitute the physical ability to procreate. If the Sun is in the 2nd, 6th, 8th or

2012 (1)

12th houses from any of these padas, the same can be damaged resulting to
infertility. Similarly, if Venus and Mercury conjoin these padas, they produce
infertility. If either of these two padas is not damaged, childbirth is delayed and
not denied. If the padas from Lagna are afflicted as above, medical attention is
required

and

unnecessarily. However, if the affliction is from the padas from Sun, then
astrological remedial measures are necessary.

Mercury, Saturn and / or Venus in the trines to the saptamsa Lagna tend to deny
children (J.S. 1.4.24).Mercury and Saturn are eunuch planets and in saptamsa
Lagna deny fertility. Venus, on the other hand causes association with too many
thereby depleting the chances for progeny. However If both planets giving
children (Sun, Rahu, Jupiter and Moon) and those denying children (Mercury,
Saturn and Venus) are present, a child will be born after some delay. (J.S.

Progeny in Jyotish I:
Fertility of Parents

Stressing the point Pt. Rath says in COVA (page 175) that, if Saturn, Venus and
Mercury are in trines alone, then the native is barren irrespective of all yogas
in the birth chart. This is an overriding rule.
For female charts, the ninth should be considered and for male charts the fifth
for determining procreative successes. (Sanjay Rath, J.S.)
Marss and Saturns influence on the trine to the Saptamsa Lagna show that the

native will have Adopted Child or Dutta-Putra . Pt. Rath says, Mars and Saturn
are karaka for the younger and elder brother respectively and could indicate
begetting a child through a kinsman as the native many lack procreative
abilities or otherwise. It also indicates marriage with a divorcee/widow who
already has children from a pervious wedlock.

Denial of Children due to Curses (COVA, Page 172)

The denial of children could be due to curses incurred in the past birth. These
have been elaborately listed in BPHS along with the remedial measures and
include Brahma Shapa (curse of priest / astrologer), pitri Shapa (curse of father
or elderly paternal relative), Matri Shapa (Curse or mother or someone from
mothers family), Shatru Shapa (Curse of enemies) etc. Let us examine the
Brahma Shapa to understand the underlying principles. The conditions for this
curse are as follows:
a. Rahu in the signs of Jupiter: Rahu represent the curses of past birth and is
hence a karmic control planet. In the signs of Jupiter it shows the curse due to
priest, judge, astrologer or all persons signified by Jupiter.
b. Jupiter conjoined or aspected by Mars and Saturn: Jupiter is debilitated in
Capricorn owned by Saturn and become marana karaka in the 3rd house signified
by Mars. These planets aspecting Jupiter can block it to the extent of denying
(Mars) or delaying (Saturn) the fruits of Jupiter, i.e., Children. Simultaneously,
the ninth lord should be in the 8th house to confirm that curse. If this condition
is not fulfilled, remedial measures shall work easily.
c. Sun, Moon or Jupiter and the fifth lord, placed in the eighth house with
Malefics: Jupiter, the karaka of the fifth is called Brahmanaspati (the fruits of
Brahma) and hence, the Sattvik planets Sun, Moon or Jupiter will represent
Saints, Brahmins and learned men respectively whose placement in the 8th
house (curses) with malefic will deny progeny.
d. Jupiter in the fifth house conjoined or aspected by the 6th lord: The 6th house
being the 2nd from the house of children, 5th, is maraka for children. So the
placement of the marakesh, sixth lord in the house of children, with Jupiter
(already showing loss), will constitute a curse from a Brahmin due to anger or

enmity (shown by 6th lords involvement).

If in the ninth house, they afflict the father and fortune of the native and if in
the Lagna, they afflict the name and life of the native.

Dear Sarajit, Namaskar
The slokas you have qouted regarding the ninth
house, i find working extremely well from the ninth
from upapada. Parasara states the same.
Best wishes, Visti.

Dear Visti, Namaskar,
True enough, I have tried the combination myself and
it works. I would include this in my further article on
how to see progeny from the UL.
Best Wishes
