Chances of Pregnancy – When Science Says no But Astrology Says Yes!

Having a child is the dream of every man and woman who enter into marriage. Once the clock starts ticking, and the time is right for a child to enter into their life, they plunge into preparations for ensuring the goal of a child is achieved. However, this is a game where man cannot control the final result or so modern science leads one to believe. Based on medical tests results of the man and woman, sometimes doctors prescribe extremely costly treatments where again risks and side-effects are many, or they may say with finality that it is not possible to conceive and the couple would remain childless for ever.

However, the ancient and divine science of astrology is worth looking into for everyone to know their chances of conceiving a child and also to remove the blocks or obstacles in conceiving a child.

An expert astrologer would closely analyze the horoscopes or janam kundali of both the man and the woman who are trying to have a child. The astrologer would be able to tell them reasons that are impacting the chances of conception, they can point the timelines when the chances are highest or lowest, and finally give the remedies and solutions that can be tried to get children.

Nowadays there are online pregnancy calculators, which can answer the question “When will I get pregnant”, and that can give you information on the best timing for children as per your chart.
The janma kundali or birth chart of a person reveals all of these details.

Important houses for childbirth

The first house and lord must be clear of any negative effects, indicating robust health and strong desire to bear a child.
For childbirth, the first, fifth and ninth houses or their lords of the horoscope are analyzed. The ascendant, navamsa and saptamsa divisional charts are also considered, as one needs to correlate the findings from the main charts in the divisional charts also.
In general, the status of 5th house in kundali is quite important. If this house has good and positive planets, then the couple have huge chances of having a healthy baby. The planets facing this house, impact of other planets on this house, and power and position of this house determine the “santan praapti yog”.

Effect of malefic and benefic planets

For conception, it is important to understand that one will conceive a child when transit of Jupiter and Saturn is over fifth house and Lord of fifth house. Dasha and transit need to be related to a relevant house for a person to conceive a child. Moreover, the relevant houses should also be present in the Kundali.

Astrological timings and shubh muhurats
