1. Progeny 

1.1. Children in Vedic Culture 

In the Vedic tradition it is said that marriage and children are the blessing of Śīva, 

Brahmā gives Ayus (longevity) and Viṣṇu gives dhanam (wealth). 

Among the houses (bhavas) 5th house is related to children and being the 11th 

from 7th indicates the result of sexual intercourse. 

Another view is that marriage and children are said to be the means to fulfill the 

debts to ancestors as one of the three types of debts (pitririna, devarina, rishirina; 

Taittiriya Upanisad). 

From this concept comes the principle of Upapada (ārūḍha of the 12th house; 12th 

house represents rina) and 9th from Upapada shows children per Śri Parāśara 

Muni 1 . 

The kāraka for children is Jupiter. Ability for producing children is granted to 

Shukra and dynasty is indicated by the Surya. The sign of the 5th house in natural 

zodiac is Siṁha (Leo) with lord Sun showing creative power as the function of the 

Surya. The specific creative power delegated for producing babies is controlled by 

Shukra. Every graha represents particular dhatu and Shukra represents ojas and 

sperms. 

The affliction of these karakas leads to inauspicious events in life 

related to progeny. In the analysis of progeny we have to focus both on 

Jupiter and Shukra. Agni grahas (Surya, Mars and Ketū) are enemy of 

the watery grahas and can show miscarriagies when conjoined the 5th 

lord and in bad placement. In the examples we will focus on Guru, 

Shukra, 5th lord and 5th house.

1992 (Śani-Budha – kāraka to 5th house in Rasi) in car 

accident in age 22. 6th lord is Saturn and 11th lord is 

Mercury hence the death occured in Śani-Budha period.

The death of child occurs in the maraka daśā from the 5th house. 

Maraka houses are 2nd and 7th and from the the 5th house this 

will fall in 6th and 11th house. So 6th and 11th houses are 

dangerous for children’s health and life.

11th lord – the child was born in the period of the 

marakas to 5th house). JonBenet was brutally murdered 

Ke

John Ramsey married fashion designer Jan Rousseaux. 

1.2. Various circumstences related to progeny 

1.2.1. Health of children 

We can always examine the health of any person related to bhāva in the chart by 

analysing the dispositor of particular lord of the bhāva. The dispositor of the 5th lord 

will show general health of the children. Dispositor is planet which lords the sign in 

which the other lord is placed. For example if Lagna lord is in Meṣa (Aries), then 

Maṅgala becomes the dispositor of Lagna 

lord, because Managala lords Meṣa (Aries).

excess both on and off the stage” 3 . 

5th lord Mars in the 6th house with Ketū 12th lord and 

Ravi. The person was gay, childless and never married. We have to examine the 

Jupiter, 5th house and 5th lord to arrive at proper prognostication regarding 

children. 

Jupiter is lagna lord in 7th house with Venus, so Venus dictated his life (also 

those born in Jyestha Nakśatra). 

5th lord is Maṅgala in 6th house with 12th lord 

Ketū (lording Vrscika rāśi), so badly placed as 6th is 

maraka to 5th, also with all the agni planets, what’s 

more important the 5th lord is in 12th (loss/absence) 

from Jupiter. Putrakaraka shouldn’t be in the house of 

children – 5th house, else it is bad for the Progeny.

Ārūḍha lagna is in Karka, which shows working in food or drinks sector. Moon is 

in Nakra (Capricorn) and lord Śani shows alcohols. We look for the connection 

between work / business in the chart and children. 2nd lord (finances) is in 6th 

house (shad ripu – alcohol) and with Mercury – 10th lord. 

5th lord (children) Śani is in 7th house with Surya in parivartana with Jupiter. So 

5th lord and Jupiter are connected to 7th house (business) connecting children to the 

business.

1.6. Basics discussed in the lecture 

1.6.1. Arudha 

Ārūḍha calculation: Count the number of bhavas from the bhāva to the lord, 

count the same number from the lord. If the lord is in 2nd house from lagna, then 

count the same distance (two) from the 2nd house, and you will arrive at 3rd house, 

as 2nd from 2nd house is 3rd. The exception is: the ārūḍha represnets maya therefore 

cannot occupy 1st and 7th houses which are said to be satya pitha. If the ārūḍha falls 

on 1st or 7th then count the 10th from the particular position. For example, lagna lord 

in 4th house gives the ārūḍha to 7th house as if we count 4th from 4th we will arrive 

at 7th. The 7th however is satya pitha bhāva and the ārūḍha will be moved to 10th 

from the 7th which is 4th house. To be able to calculate ārūḍha for all houses we need 

to treat particular house as reference point and apply the same rules.

1.6.2. Bhāva, Bhavesa, Kāraka 

The most important prinicple to analyse success of any area of life is to analyse 

the bhāva (house), bhavesa (lord of the house) and naisargika kāraka (significator). 

1.6.2.1. Bhāva 

Bhāva, the house shows the sphere of our life like relationships, finances, 

work, home, family, losses, gains. All occurences and various activities are grouped 

in various placement around the zodiac called chakra. 

11





Bhava means mood/disposition and therefore it shows our attitude towards 

particular activity. For example planet in seventh house will show how we view our 

relationship and represents our preferences. 

Planets in bhava besides disposition shows what is presented by God to the 

native and what is the reaction of the native or influence on social standing is 

analyzed by its placement from Arudha lagna.

Strength of the bhāva: In astrology we measure the strength and affliction of the 

bhāva, bhavesa and kāraka. Bhāva may turn inauspicious when it’s lord is weak 

(dīptādi avasthā), it has low bhāva bala, it is aspected, has papakartari yoga or 

conjoined by malefics. In the same way, bhāva with strong bhāva bala, aspected, 

conjoined or subhakartari by benefics with strong lord, placed in good house is 

strong. If the lord is wellplaced (kendra, trikoṇa) from bhāva then it will support the 

activity represented by the bhāva, but if the lord is wellplaced from Lagna it will turn 

positive for the native, altough the elements represented by bhāva may suffer. 

In the chart, 5th house shows children, being in 11th house from 7th house shows 

the fruits of marriage. Being the 5th from Lagna shows those who come after us, 

forming our future as the 9th house is showing our ancestors and Gurus. In the stri 

jataka 11 which is the female chart the 9th house shows children. 6th therefore is the 

maraka to children and any connection of 5th and 6th brings the problem to the 

progeny. 

1.6.2.2. Bhavesa 

The lord of the house is called Bhavesa from Bhāva (house) and Isa (the lord). 

In Jyotiṣa (Vedic Astrology) in every house there is one sign. The lordship of bhāva is 

based on the sign occupying the bhāva. If 5th house is Siṁha (Leo) then its lord is Sun 

as Sun is lording the Leo.

The strength of the planet will have direct influence over the bhāva lorded by 

it. If Mars is weak (like in debilitation sign – Cancer) then also bhavas in which Aries 

and Scorpio is, will suffer. Bhavesa is inauspicious when: it is weak or afflicted. 

Strength of bhavesa (lord) and kāraka (significator) should be examined both 

in Rāśi and Navāṁśa. 

Inauspiciousness of lord takes place when: 

 

 

 

 

It is weak due to position in the sign in Rāśi or Navāṁśa (refer to table with 

Dīptādi Avasthā) 

It is afflicted due to either yuti, dṛṣṭi or papakartari of malefics 

It is in inauspicious house like dusthāna (6th, 8th or 12th) 

Other affliction due to yogas, combustions and placement from other elements 

1.6.2.3. Karaka 

The kāraka shows the hand of the God and actual sum of experiences related to 

the signification of the graha. The position of bhāva and bhāva lord is vital when 

examined from kāraka.

Charakaraka is the third type of kāraka (8-charakaraka scheme). They represent 

the sphere of life from the perspective of our soul. Just like Ātmakāraka shows us, 

Darakaraka shows spouse from view of our soul etc. In this scheme Putrakaraka 

shows children. Their role ascribed to particular grahas is based on the maturity of 

degrees. The planet with highest degree is the Ātmakāraka. Nodes degrees should be 

calculated in reverse per the Jaimini Sutras. In this order the Putrakaraka (PK) is the 

last but one degree-wise.
