After
marriage, a family is considered complete only after the birth of the child. In
earlier times, if a woman was unable to conceive after marriage, she was cursed
for not giving a successor to the family. However, things have changed over
time, and educated couples understand the problems related to progeny and take
medical help to solve these problems. But, if all the medical treatments prove
futile and there is a failure in conception, then one ought to take astrological
advice to overcome the progeny problem.
As per Vedic astrology, fifth house in a horoscope of the native represents
progeny and relationship with the children. So, an analysis of husband and
wife’s horoscope is essential to find why there is delay in the birth of a
child, or it is a case of childlessness. Apart from
this, the Venus is seen for the strength of sperms or vitality in
men and the Mars is seen for eggs in women. The reproductive organs are judged
from Venus and 7th house in case of both men and women’s horoscope.
Rishi Parashara has ascribed in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra the
following combinations responsible for progeny problems that have to be seen
from the horoscopes of husband and wife:
·
An analysis of the fifth house and its
association with malefic and the benefic planets has to be made. The
5th lord if aspected with the beneficial planet blesses the couple with a child. On the other hand, an
afflicted 5th lord, combust, malefic and retrograde aspected by another malefic
planet, results in a childbirth delay.
·
In case of conjunction of lagna lord with Mars, the
husband will lose his first child and his wife would not be fertile to yield
offspring again.
·
The position of 5th lord in the 6th,
8th or 12th house or in an inimical rashi, the couple will
have issues with difficulty.
·
Presence of debilitated or retrograde planets in the 5th
house indicates serious troubles during pregnancy.
·
In the wife’s horoscope, 5th house and 5th
lord is impotant because it defines her progeny, family and husband. The
presence of 5th lord in the 12th house is not favourable
because the 12th house in the horoscope denotes only wastage,
expenditure and sorrow.
·
The placement of Jupiter and aspect of Saturn on the 5th
house along with the Mars and Mercury delays the childbirth because Saturn is a
malefic and slow planet.
·
The presence of Keu in the 5th house and
placement of 5th lord with Venus aspected by Jupiter delays the
childbith; but no denial is there.
A few other factors, mentioned below, are also responsible for early/delayed/difficult childbirth:
·
The 5th house and its lord is studied in rashi, navamsa and
saptamsha chart for the promise of early or delayed childbirth.
·
The benefic planets influencing the 5th house/lord give early
childbirth. The strong Jupiter and 5th house from it also promise an early
childbirth.
·
The timely dasha of Jupiter, 5th lord, 9th lord or lagna lord is
helpful for early childbirth.
· When
the 5th lord is in the 8th with the 8th lord, there will be death of children
or abortions to wife.
· If
the 5th lord is afflicted in the first house, there will be no issue.
· If
the fifth lord is disposed in the third house unfavorably, there will be loss of children.
· The
fifth lord, afflicted in the fourth house, causes death of children.
· Fifth lord, if afflicted in the fifth house, children may die.
· If
the fifth lord is
afflicted in the sixth house, issues will not be born and the native may
have to adopt one
from maternal uncle's line.
· Children
will die early if the lord of the fifth occupies 3,6 or 12 and is aspected by no benefic; when the lord of the fifth is hemmed in between malefics; when the fifth is aspected by a malefic or the lord of the fifth joins an evil planet.
· The
Sun in the fifth house deprives the person of children. This position also denotes difficult
childbirth.
· If
Mars is in
fifth house of woman's chart, dangerous childbirth may be predicted
· There
will be loss of children if Rahu or Ketu is in fifth house.
Thus, we see that in case of progeny
problems, the couple should seek the advice of an expert and knowledgeable astrologer;
if no medical treatment is helpful. Besides, as per Vedic Astrology, chanting
of Santan Gopala Mantra by the couple is very helpful in pacifying the evil
effects of malefic planets and getting blessed with the birth of the baby.
