Children are indicated by the 5th bhava in the horoscope. A son is called as putra in Sanskrit. Those who die without bearing a son are destined to go to PUTA namak Hell. All the ancestors of that tree fall in the hell named Puta. Since a son protects [rakshati] his ancestors from the Puta hell, that means he does [“ra”ksha ] from [“put”a] hence he is known as “putra”
Woman become pregnant to conceive a child. For this their rutukala plays an important role. Moon and Mars are important in determining rutukala that may lead to pregnancy. When Moon is anupachaya places from a janma rashi of the woman, if being at any of these places, if it is being aspected by Mars, that period/month will be capable in bringing about the conception [garbhgrahartav] to those who wish to have a child.
That means if a woman becomes rutumati in an upachaya rashi from her janma rashi, she will not conceive in that cycle. If in such a combination the moon is aspected by Jupiter, the couple will try for a baby.
If on the fourth day at the time of rutuvirama if aspected by Venus woman will have extreme passion towards her husband. The seventh from lagna at the time samyoga, if it is Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagitarius then they will engage in the sexual act akin to animals. If it is gemini Virgo or Aquarius, then it will be like humans. If there are malefics aspecting, then union will spring out of anger and difference of opinion. If aspected by the benefics they will have affectionate union. If not aspected by any planet it will be a quiet union. If both benefics and malefics aspect, then union will start with affection and end up in discord or vice versa.
All these will have bearing on the birth and life of the child. Venus, Mars, Jupiter Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, lagnadhipati[garbhadaan], Moon and Sun are sequentially guardians of the child in the womb for 10 months till birth of the child.
