How to Make Predictions about Childbirth from a Horoscope?

The birth of a child is an important and joyous event in most people’s lives. Unfortunately, nowadays, becoming a parent is a distant dream for many due to fertility problems. There are many factors for this – atmospheric pollution, stress, a hectic lifestyle, and so on. Going by the number of fertility clinics that are mushrooming all over the place, there is no doubt that childbirth is no longer a blessing that one can take for granted.

So, it is not surprising that one question that is now frequently asked of an astrologer by married people is about childbirth. There are also people who want to deliver the child on a particular day and time, as the planetary positions are favorable during that time. This can ensure safe childbirth as well as a bright future for the child.

By analyzing your birth chart, astrologers can foretell when you will have a child. They can also suggest auspicious times to schedule a Caesarian if required. Whether you will have a natural childbirth or will require some medical interventions to facilitate childbirth can also be predicted. When all else fails, some may resort to surrogacy or adoption. Astrology can reveal if this will be the case, too.

Being unable to conceive a child can be very distressing for some couples.  It is a very difficult situation, as lack of progeny is a stigma even now. Sometimes, even fertility treatments, which are quite expensive, do not work. This can cause problems in the relationship and may even lead to divorce.

Family members can also interfere, and they may can aggravate the situation. At times like this, astrology can help. Astrology is based on the notion that celestial bodies, like planets and stars, are responsible for the events that occur in our lives. Certain doshas caused by planetary afflictions and combinations in the birth chart can have some negative effects on a person’s life. This can pose obstacles to having children. In many cases, performing certain remedies can help.

By analyzing your horoscope, an astrologer makes predictions about potential future events in your life. When it comes to progeny, the astrologer will find out if there is a Yoga for progeny or Putra Yoga in your birth chart. If the birth chart reveals the presence of Putra Yoga, your chances of having a child are good. The birth chart will also reveal if you will have a child naturally or if medical intervention is essential to achieve parenthood.

There are 2 key elements that come into play in such assessments. They are "beeja sphuta" and "kshetra sphuta." These elements of the birth chart can indicate if you will become a parent. With their help, the astrologer will analyze if you have the potential for fertility and childbearing.

One of the most important houses related to childbirth and progeny is the 5th House in the horoscope. Its position (favorable/unfavorable) and condition (strong/weak) can give a good idea about the possibility of having children. Afflictions in the 5th House imply that there may be some difficulties in childbirth. Besides, if the 5th  House's lord or ruling planet is also afflicted, parenthood is unlikely, or it could be very difficult.

Chances of Progeny

Planetary combinations within the 5th House provide clues about the chances of bearing children. The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter are some of the planets that are favorable for conception. So, if they are present in the 5th House or if they exert an influence here, it is a positive indication for Putra Yoga. On the other hand, the presence of Sun, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu in the 5th House is not very favorable for conception. These planets can bring challenges or obstacles in your parenthood journey.

Predicting Childbirth

Jupiter is an important planet related to progeny. So, its placement in your horoscope needs scrutiny. Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is linked to fertility. When Jupiter occupies a weakened house, like the 6th, 8th, or 12th House, or if it is conjunct with malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu, the chances of childbirth will be less.

To sum up, the 5th House and the placement of certain planets, especially Jupiter, are key to identifying the potential for childbirth.

Houses and Combinations Linked to Childbirth

Though other Houses are also considered for childbirth predictions, the 5th House and the planets in it are crucial.  When the 5th House is in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, the native may have many children. However, when it’s in Aries, Leo, or Virgo, the chances of progeny are fewer. Other signs may have mixed results.

Other Combinations for Childbirth

The 7th, 8th, and 9th Houses indicate your health and sex life. When there are favorable planets like the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus in these Houses, you may have a healthy pregnancy with fewer complications during childbirth. However, if malefic planets like Mars, Rahu, or Ketu occupy these houses, chances of pregnancy will be fewer, and childbirth may be difficult. Additionally, the 1st House should also be examined as it indicates your health as well as your family's health history.

Role of Jupiter

Jupiter signifies growth, good fortune, and positivity. It is related to fertility and progeny. If Jupiter appears many times in your horoscope, you may get pregnant soon.

Predicting the date of childbirth

The date of childbirth can be ascertained by analyzing the 5th and 9th Houses in the couple’s horoscopes. If Jupiter and Saturn are present in these houses, the child could be born around nine months after your horoscope is analyzed. However, if Mars is present in these houses (in your chart or your partner’s), the child will be born roughly 2.5 months after the horoscope was analyzed.
