Child Birth & Astrology

- R.K.Eashvar



Birth of children comes natural to human being. Or some would assume it to be so. But is not it true that everybody is not blessed with children. Some of us have been bereft of this beautiful gift. We know it’s all about biological phenomenon. But biological phenomenon is just a part of a larger phenomenon governed by celestial bodies.

Life, flowing as energy in the form of an integral part of the whole, is influencing and getting influenced. Opposite and equal reaction of KARMA theory is operating in the form of relationships. To understand astrologic principals, need of interpretation of codified formulas in the form of definite mathematical methodology is essential. The mathematical numbers are one to nine and zero as a circle of infinite radius, in the cosmos through various permutation and combinations formulate and draw a path of human life. Every individual has definite and unique codified genes of specifically programmed to trigger at a specified time as a resultant reaction of earlier action or actions of previous birth. The response of coupling depends on the position of these codified genes in the path of human life drawn in the cosmos. The science of astrology not only reveals about the likelihood of producing children but also their development, education, married life and much more which is beyond the comprehension of contemporary streams of science.

Garbhadanam: or Conception:

This samskara ensures the conception. This samskara is said to do away with all the impurities related to conception and reproductive system of female so as to ensure the birth of a lucky and healthy child.

Conception should be done between fourth and sixteenth night from the day of menstruation. Conception on even nights is said to give male child and on odd nights gives female child.

Nakshatras: All fixed nakshatras, Mrigasira, Anuradha,Hasta, Swati,Shravanam, Dhanishta and Satabhisha are the best nakshatras for conception.

Tithis: 1,2,3,5,7,10,12 and 13 tithis are good. Rikta tithes, Amavasya, Poornima and Bhadra tithis are to be avoided. Days: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good. Monday is medium.

Lagna: The lagna should have benefics in kendras and Trikonas. Malefices should be in 3,6,11 houses. Lagna should be aspected by male planets and Moon should be in odd navamsa. Proper Chandra and Tara suddhi is to be ensured for both male and female.

So for sex potentiality of a lady, 5th and 7th houses are to be judged also 12th house, Mars and Venus also indicate the sex degree of female.

NO PREGNENCY YOGA:

Either lagna lord or Moon is in Apoklimas ( 3,6,9,12) and forms Ithasala yoga with either Lagna or 5th house, one can say that there is no pregnancy.

If 5th lord is in fixed navamsa, there is no pregnancy.


SEX OF THE CHILD:

Saturn in odd house indicates male child and even house indicates female child. But if Saturn is in Ascendant, it indicates female child.

5th lord in male star indicates male child and female star indicates female child.

(From Aswini to Mrigasira and from Moola to Revati are male stars. From Arudra to Swathi are female stars. Visakha, Anuradha and Jyesta are eunuch stars.)

If the star lord of 5th lord is male planet, the child is male child and if the star lord of 5th lord is female planet, the child is female child.

If Moon or Jupiter are posited in the 5th house in prasna chart, then there will be more number of female children.

TWINS:

If the prasna ascendant is in duel sign and posited by natural benefic planets, there can be twins.

If Moon, Mars and Venus are posited in duel signs or duel navamsa signs and aspected by Mercury, there can be twins.

If the above three planets are posited in odd duel signs (Mithuns, Dhanu) and aspected by Mercury, male twins and posited in even duel signs (Kanya, Meena) and aspected by Mercury, female twins will born. If the planets are posited in both odd and even duel signs, one male and one female twin birth will take palce.

Number of Children:

There will be so many male children for the person as many number of male planets aspect the 5th house. Similarly the number of female children.

Note the number of navamsas the fifth lord shifted from his place. So many children can be predicted.

If Taurus, Leo,Virgo and Scorpio happen to be the 5th house, then there will be less number of children.
