When Jupiter, the lord of the 5th, the lord of the ascendant and the lord of the 5thfrom the Moon sign, transit the 5th house or the house occupied by the lord of the5th or the trines of these two, the child will be born. When the lord of the 1st, the5th and the 7th transit the above mentioned signs, then also the birth of the issuecan take place. 3. We have seen that the bindus in the 5th from Jupiter, in his Astakavarga chartdenote the number of chil dre n. Consi der the stro ng of the two sign s, the sign occupied by the planet who has contributed the
bindu or its navamsa rasi. If thislord occupies the first dr ekkana, the child will be born when the Moon transits thesign occupie d by the lo rd of its N avamsa. If he occ upies the 2n d dr ekkana, the child will be born in the 5th sign from the above; if he occupies the 3rd drekkana,the child will be born in the 9th sign from the above. Multiply the expired ghatikas 11
of the planet in the drekkana by 135 and divide the product by 1800. This gives theghatikas traversed in the Nakshatra. The result gives the constellation in which thechild will be born. 4. When Moon transits the sign or Navamsa of benefics that occupy or aspect the 5thhouse; the lord of the 5th is strong and well situated and other planets that arestrong enough to give children, there will be birth of an issue. The 5th sign fromthe above mentioned signs and Navamsas also give children.
