Timing of Childbirth
If Your chart do not have any Malefic yoga, You will have children without any Problem. But if your chart has some negative yoga and also some positive yoga, if the Positive yogas are stronger you will have own child.
Childbirth is possible during the Dasha of 5th Lord or planets placed in the 5th house.
The dasha of planets placed in the 5th house of D7 chart or Ascendant of D7 chart is Favorable for childbirth.
The Vimsottari Dasha of Putrakaraka Planet or The Chara Dasha of Putrakaraka Planet is Favorable for chidlbirth. The chara dasha of the Signs aspected by Putrakaraka Planet (Rashi Drishti) is also Good.
If both Jupiter and Saturn transit to 5th house, Double transit to 5th house, is good time to have a child or conceive a child.
When Jupiter is transiting over the Natal Sun, it is also a Good time for having a child.
Now Lets discuss a chart to understand these Principles.
In this chart the 5th Lord Mercury is well placed in Kendra House without any Affliction. The 5th Lord Mercury and Lagna Lord Venus are conjunct. This is also a Good yoga. Jupiter-Sun conjunction is also a Favorable Yoga. The 5th Lord Mercury is free any Affliction in Navamsa and D7 chart. But in the D7 chart the Ascendant Lord Mars is debilitated and 5th house has Sun-Rahu combination. This shows Some delay in childbirth. So the person has got a children at the age of 40.
In his chart Saturn is Putrakaraka planet and it is placed in the Libra. His child was born in the Saturn-venus Period. Saturn is the Putrakaraka and venus is the Lagna Lord. so this is a Favorable period for having a child. He was also going through the Chara Dasha of Saggitarius – Taurus Period and his wife conceived during the Saggitarius – Aquarius Period. Aquarius is the sign ruled by Putrakaraka Saturn and Taurus is the Sign aspected by putrakaraka Saturn (Rashi drishti as per Rishi Jaimini).
