How To Predict Children In Natal Chart

Do parents' natal chart affect their child's natal chart? If so, in what ways?

Family dynamics is a very interesting topic. Here is how it works in astrology:A person’s birth chart will show their parents and their future children. However, what it shows is a snapshot of their parents and future children from their perspective. For instance, the Moon in your chart will show your perception of your mother.If a person has their Moon in Cancer they will experience their mother as being very loving and attentive, but also sometimes quite smothering. Their brother has his Moon in Capricorn. He sees his mother as the rule maker and the disciplinarian. They both have the same mother, but their individual experience of the mother is very different.Furthermore, as others have pointed out, certain astrological signs will be dominant in the charts of family members throughout many generations.A trained astrologer can easily see the type of home life you experienced as a child just by looking at your fourth/tenth house axis, the planets in those houses and the rulers of those planets. (Its not quite that simple, but those things are important determinations.)If you want to delve into the deep side of family relationships, I highly recommend the book “The Astrology of Family Dynamics” by Erin Sullivan.

Which houses in your natal chart reveal how many children you will have?

There are many rules ascribed in ancient vedic text to find the number of children in a horoscope, but however one should apply those rules with practical sense and to suit the modern context.In astrology 5th house rules children, the number of benefic occupying or aspecting 5th house indicate number of children where as more malefic aspection to 5th house indicate no or loss of children. Also the number of Navamsa gained by 5th lord will also give clue about number of children. In addition the number of benefics in Beeja(in male horoscope) and Kshetra(in female horoscope) sthana will give more number of children.Moreover the number of siblings can also predicted from the first child horoscope that may also give some indication of total number of children. The same rule that number of benefic occcupies or aspects 3rd house indicates number of younger siblings.Having said that, if someone apply the above rule blindly then there is chances of arriving inaccurate results due to following reasons,Most people in present generation restrict to small family with typically one child or in rare case two children.Those rules were mostly accurate when there are no contraceptive measure in olden days but there are several contraceptive measure today to avoid pregnancy.The conception and abortion of child should also be considered while applying those rules.

Saptamamsha Chart & its Meanings:The Saptamamsha Chart (D-7) must be studied in the following manner.The kind of impact that would happen to a child during the respective dasa periods of the native (born to him/her).The Saptamamsha chart does not predict anything on child birth of the native.The Child birth prediction must be analysed through the 5th house and its House Lord in the natal chart (D-1).The Child could be in trouble during the pregnancy and/or during the its birth period, if the Parents has any problematic planetary position in the D-7 chart; and Parents happen to pass through those dasa (or) its sub periods.The impact would be severe, if there are any problems in the D-7 chart of the mother; and the impact would be less severe, if it exists in the D-7 chart of the father.The impact would be extremely severe, if there are problems exists both in the D-7 charts of the mother & the father.Author’s Opinion on Question:Ability to conceive & the pregnancy related issues must be calculated from the D-1 chart of both the mother & the father. The D-1 chart would give a broader picture about the progeny related issues for the entire life.The D-7 chart would tell us, whether the attempt to conceive would be successful (or) the positive/negative impacts on the baby during the pregnancy periods, while calculating for any definite period of time in the life.The Mahadasa/Antardasa/Pratyandardasa periods of the Parents (especially the mother) is extremely important for the Child during its pregnancy periods.The D-7 chart (both the Parents) would tell us the likely impacts (could be positive (or) negative) on the yet to be born child & at the time of birth; and during its entire life journey of the child.D-7 Chart would indicate the crystal clear analysis on the child and its probable lifestyle from the moment it is getting conceived in their mother’s womb.
