Childbirth and Astrology

Jupiter in aspect with the 5th house is considered as extremely beneficial for childbirth. Positioning of the Lord of the 5th house in the 1st house and vice versa promotes childbirth. Planets positioned in the 5th house must be situated in the Nakshatras of planets that signify the combinations of childbirth.

Childbirth is the most important thing happening to a couple after their marriage. In the traditional society of India, after marriage, childbirth has always been the topmost priority for the couples. It gives the couples immense pleasure and real happiness by becoming a parent and raising their child. Soon after the child enters into a couple's life, they spend their whole life nurturing that little bundle of joy.

Unfortunately, some couples remain doomed of this blessing, and in some cases couples do get pregnant but after a very long time and after facing many issues. Even though the husband and wife are absolutely healthy and fine yet they have to go through delays and issues. The question always arises that why does this delay occur, but medical science has no answer to this question that despite the couple being healthy why does the delay occur.

The ancient sciences of Vedic Astrology definitely have all the answers. They reveal the native course of life and prescribe the remedies to deal with the problems happening in the present and those that are expected to come in the near future. Vedic astrology reads the horoscope of a person and suspects that what the stars have in store for a number of aspects of the person's life. Similar is the case in having problems during pregnancy, the horoscope of both husband and wife are analyzed.
