Children Analysis Workflow
When analyzing children/progeny matters, follow these steps:
- Fetch Chart Data: Call
cast_vedic_chartandcast_transit_chart(using birth parameters). - 5th House (Putra Bhava): Analyze the 5th house from Lagna and Moon — sign, occupants, aspects.
- 5th Lord: Check the placement, dignity, and strength of the 5th lord. Is it combust? Retrograde? Afflicted?
- Putrakaraka (Jupiter): Assess Jupiter's dignity, house, and aspects. Jupiter is the natural significator of children.
- Jaimini Putrakaraka: Check the Chara Putrakaraka (from
jaimini_karakasdata) — its sign, house, and D7 placement. - 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Bhava Chalit: Compare the 5th lord's whole-sign house with
bhava_chalitplacement — if it shifts to the 4th or 6th in Chalit, the progeny promise may weaken or delay. - Avasthas: Check
avasthasfor the 5th lord and Jupiter — Yuva = full fertility/progeny capacity; Bala/Mrita = diminished delivery regardless of dignity. - Gandanta: If the 5th lord or Jupiter is in
gandanta, childbirth may carry karmic intensity or complications at water-fire sign boundaries. - Synthesize: Provide a clear reading on fertility, number of children, timing, and the native's relationship with their children.
