Children Analysis Workflow

When analyzing children/progeny matters, follow these steps:

1. Fetch Chart Data: Call cast_vedic_chart and cast_transit_chart (using birth parameters).
2. 5th House (Putra Bhava): Analyze the 5th house from Lagna and Moon — sign, occupants, aspects.
3. 5th Lord: Check the placement, dignity, and strength of the 5th lord. Is it combust? Retrograde? Afflicted?
4. Putrakaraka (Jupiter): Assess Jupiter's dignity, house, and aspects. Jupiter is the natural significator of children.
5. Jaimini Putrakaraka: Check the Chara Putrakaraka (from jaimini_karakas data) — its sign, house, and D7 placement.
6. D7 (Saptamsha): Cross-reference the 5th lord, Jupiter, and Lagna lord positions in the D7 divisional chart for deeper insights on:
   • Number and gender of children
   • Timing of children
   • Relationship with children
7. Beeja/Kshetra Sphuta: For males, check the Beeja Sphuta (Sun + Venus + Jupiter longitudes mod 360). For females, check the Kshetra Sphuta (Moon + Mars + Jupiter longitudes mod 360). The resulting sign and its lord indicate fertility potential.
8. Timing: Analyze the Dasha/Antardasha (all 5 levels: Maha → Antar → Pratyantar → Sukshma → Prana) of the 5th lord, Jupiter, and Putrakaraka for timing of childbirth. Check Jupiter and Saturn transits over the 5th house.
9. Bhava Chalit: Compare the 5th lord's whole-sign house with bhava_chalit placement — if it shifts to the 4th or 6th in Chalit, the progeny promise may weaken or delay.
10. Avasthas: Check avasthas for the 5th lord and Jupiter — Yuva = full fertility/progeny capacity; Bala/Mrita = diminished delivery regardless of dignity.
11. Gandanta: If the 5th lord or Jupiter is in gandanta, childbirth may carry karmic intensity or complications at water-fire sign boundaries.
12. Synthesize: Provide a clear reading on fertility, number of children, timing, and the native's relationship with their children.
