CHILDLESSNESS ADOPTION OF CHILDREN AND CONNECTED MATTER WITH CHILDREN

1) Jupiter is known signification of children and so is the 5th house and 5th Lord. Apart from various astrological consideration, the first look on the horoscope has to be on 5th house, planets in the 5th house, 5th lord, planets aspecting Jupiter. Apart from sons and grandsons, Jupiter also take in its ambit grandfather and great-grandfather. Thus at times, not getting a child is attributed to Pitri-dosha. 2) For denial of children, we have Sarpaspa yogas and premature death of children is also indicated by these yogas. In addition we have ANAPATHYA YOGA. The simple constitution of this yoga is attributed to the weak Jupiter, Lagna Lord, 5th Lord and 7th Lord. If this combination exists, particularly in the both the charts of husband and wife, the native may not have any child. Jupiter and the Lagan Lord, 7th and 5th Lord have to be weak. If the Jupiter and 5th Lord gets strong, the yoga gets modified to some extent and chances to have a child would brighten-depending on the totality of horoscope 3) Though the times have changed but Hindus consider childlessness to be a great sin. Even to have female child is considered inauspicious. Recently, the Prime Minister of India in his speech (15th August, 1997.) proposed to have a new law not to allow termination of pregnancy if it is known to be female child. 4) Birth of children is considered to be great blessing and feelings of those not having a child can better be imagined than described. Now a reference is made to Sarpasapa Yoga: I. 5th should be occupied by Rahu and aspected by Mars or the 5th should be a sing of Mars and occupied by Rahu II. 5th Lord in conjunction with Rahu and Saturn in the 5th house aspected by associated with the Moon. III. Jupiter-Karka of children in association with Mars, Rahu in Lagna and 5th Lord in dusthana gives to rise to Sarpasapa yoga IV. 5th house being sign of Mars must be conjoined by Rahu and aspected by or associated with Mercury. 5) In the above matters, there will be no children or children may die due to curse of serpants. Only Lod Shiva would be the saver. Whether we believe in curses or blessings, children. It may be noted that Rahu and Mars have a significant role to play in denying or killing the children. While analyzing the question of childlessness, apart from 5th house as indicated above, the following must also be taken into account: 6) Human being desire to live for ever and the Almighty-God has given the human kind the power to live in the form of their off-springs-children. While analyzing the

question of Childlessness;, apart from 5th house as indicated above, the following must also be taken into account: a) The 7th house indicating life partner must also be carefully examined for begetting the children. 7th house and 8th house read together become indicative about the impotency of the native. b) The house of fortune 9th house (a house of luck and 5th from 5th). c) 5th house form the signification of children-Jupiter. d) Examine the strength of 5th house and other connected house and planets. Before predicting ascertain whether the native has any symptoms of impotency or barrenness. 7) The auspicious condition for begetting children are summarized below: o When the Lagna Lord, Lord of the Moons sign, 5th Lord and 7th Lord are powerful in addition to powerful Jupiter. o When the above planets are in angles (Kendra) tines (Trikonas) or in the 11th house, o When the 5th house is aspected or occupied by benefices. o When there are more benefic points in the 5th house form Jupiter in Ashtakavarga, and o The Santan Tithi falls in the bright half of the Moon. Santhan Tithi is progeny Tithi and can be arrived at by deducting the longitude of the Sun from the longitude of the Moon. Multiply this difference by 5 and arrive at Santhan Tithi. 8) This horoscope belongs to the wife of an industrialist. The Signification of children Jupiter (R) is in 2nd house aspected by Mars. Even aspect of Venus form 8th house failed to give child. In Saptamsha, some improvement is shown but 5th house have Mercy and Venus aspected by Rahu, Saturn and Mars. 9) This horoscope belongs to a lady who had Mars in 5th house with Jupiter and Venus. Since it is free from affliction of Rahu and Saturn, the native was blessed with son- Mars and Jupiter being powerful. 10) For adoption of a child, there may be many combinations but for purposes of this article, only few important combinations are given below. a) If the 5th house falls in Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius and has the association or aspect of Saturn or Mandi (Mandi is son of Saturn). b) If the 7th Lord is weak and is not connected with langa or 5th Lord. c) If the 9th house is afflicted with Saturn & Mandi and Lagna Lord is badly disposed to the 9th house and 9th Lord. d) If the 5th Lord is a eunuch planet, the 5th house is conjoined with or aspected by a eunuch planet and also occupied by Mandi and Jupiter is powerful. e) If the Moon is in the 5th house either in sign or Navamsha of Saturn and is associated with a pient other than Saturn.

11) The above principles of adoption can be seen in this horoscope of a male native, it is true that both horoscope of husband and wife need to be seen but when the result are clear, even the horoscope of one is sufficient. Note there are no planets in the Kendra. Signification of children Jupiter is in the grip of Rahu and Ketu, the Moon is aspected by Mars, Saturn and Rahu aspect Lagna and 5th Lord Mercury gets to 12th house though forming Budh-aditya Yoga. The native had to adopt a girl child because of Mercury and Venus (R).
