Certain planetary positions and yogas in the horoscope indicate conditions related to children or fertility concerns. These include:
Challenging Planet in Lagna: A challenging planet in the Lagna (ascendant), its lord in the 5th house, the lord of the 5th in the 3rd house, and the Moon in an odd sign or Navamsa in the 5th house aspected by the Sun can indicate fertility challenges.
5th House Ownership: If the 5th house is owned by Saturn or Mercury and is aspected or associated with Mandi or Saturn, the person may have children through adoption. This also occurs if the lord of the 5th house is weak and unconnected with the lords of the 1st and 7th houses.
Weak 5th House Lord: If the lord of the 5th house is weakened, in an unfriendly house, overshadowed, or conjunct with the lords of the 12th, 6th, or 8th houses, it results in challenges in having children. Similarly, if the lord of the 5th is placed in the 5th house but not aspected by positive influences, the result is similar.
Male Navamsas: If the lord of the 5th house, Jupiter, Mars, and the Sun are all placed in male Navamsas, the native will have a good number of children; the nature of the children depends on the strength of the 5th lord.
Gender Indication: The gender of children is indicated by the gender of the sign or Navamsa occupied by the 5th house or its lord, or by planets associated with it: male signs or planets indicate male children, female signs or planets indicate daughters.
Conception Timing: Conception timing is influenced by the strength and transit of certain planets: for males, the Sun and Venus; for females, Mars and the Moon, especially when passing through Apachaya signs (1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 12th signs).
Number of Children: The number of children is determined by analyzing the planets in the 5th house and those with the 5th lord, considering their placement in friendly, debilitated, or unfriendly Navamsas. For females, the positions of Jupiter, Moon, and Mars are added; an even Rasi and Navamsa indicate assured fertility, while mixed signs indicate children only after effort. For males, the sum of positions of the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter in odd Rasi and Navamsa indicates fertility.
