Progeny in Vedic Astrology
A birth in the family is matter of great joy for everyone. The institution of marriage is created to protect the unit of family and provide the greatest care to children who will carry forward humanity on our planet. This article attempts to briefly look at the factors that bestow the blessings of childbirth to a couple. It is important to analyze the chart of both husband and wife in order to come to any conclusion.
In Vedic Astrology, the process starts right at the time when charts are matched at the time of marriage. Afflictions to 7th house and its lord can adversely impact the fertility of a person. Nadi dosha can lead to conception followed by mishaps like still birth, miscarriages etc. Nadi dosha is therefore considered a strict no-no for horoscope compatibility. These factors therefore must be avoided while kundalis are being matched.
What I am not going to discuss in this article is determination of sex of children. It may have been okay in the past, but in current age and time, it is not right. It is my humble opinion that couples should not engage in such activities.
The following elements are important from perspective of having children:
- Naisargika Putrakaraka, i.e. Jupiter.
- Fifth house and its lord
- Divisional chart Saptamsha
- 9th house, by the principle of bhavat bhavam. 9th house is considered to be important when looking at the horoscope of women.
- Dasha factors – to determine if the currently running dasha is conducive towards conception.
Any afflictions to these factors or elements would be considered detrimental to the ability of having children. The usual afflictions come from Saturn, Mars etc., and lords of 6th and 8th houses. Based on these rules, some of the yogas or combinations that can potentially lead to childlessness are:
- Lord of 5th house in debilitation or positioned in 6th, 8th or 12th house. This yoga should also applicable to lord of 5th from Sun or Moon.
- Malefic influence of Sun and/or Mars on 5th house and its lord. The influence could be through presence, drishti (aspect) or by hemming the house. These are fiery planets and they “burn away” the prospects of having children.
- Malefic influence of Saturn and Mercury as these are considered to be impotent planets.
- Malefic influence of 6th and 8th lords on 5th house as explained above. 6th house is important as by being 2nd from 5th, it becomes a maraka for factors determined by 5th, i.e. children. The lord of 6th house carries this power.
- Jupiter’s presence in 6th or 8th house.
- Planets powerless in Saptamsha
Very interestingly, Rahu is not a part of this list of malefic planets. I would like to quote from Dr. Raman’s book, Combination #220:
Rahu in 5th house in a Navamsha other than that of Saturn gives rise to bahuputra (large number of children) yoga.
There are various curses or sutakshaya yogas that are mentioned in Dr. B.V. Raman’s book “Three Hundred Important Combinations” that lead to loss of children – please go through combinations #212 through #219 for the same. All these combinations revolve around afflictions of 5th house and its lord but rather than being general statements, the combinations are properly defined.
Any good influence benefic planets, but most importantly Jupiter, would mitigate the problem. In such a case, the couple would not be denied of children, but rather miscarriages and difficulty in conception should be predicted. Influence from Rahu also brings in a degree of “unusual”.
These problems could very well be solved by appropriately seeking medical help. Astrologically, it would be necessary to strengthen Jupiter and 5th lord to overcome such problems. Worshipping Lord Krishna in His “Santan Gopal” form helps.
There are three tests for judging fertility: (a) Kshetra Sphuta (for a female nativity), (b) Beeja Sphuta (for a male nativity) and (c) Santana Tithi test but the calculation and explanations are beyond the scope of this article.

This is a WONDERFUL article. During my youth, I happened to work around West Bengal. Many learning astrologers predicted havoc with my children as I am having Rahu in my fifth house with Dhanu lagna. This prompted me to study Dr. B.V. Raman’s astrological books, resulting in my learning astrology fairly well and the above quotation of Dr. BVR, if Rahu is in 5th and not in the navamsa of Saturn will give Bahu Putra. I am having both sons, well off.
I suggest to general readers, if anybody predicts ‘bad’ in your horoscope, which is generally based on general reading, CONSULTa professional astrologer, who has indepth knowledge of the subject, as creator has compiled some exemptions, as after all HE is not our enemy.
