5th and 6th House

Putra Bhava : The straight meaning of this term is House of Son or

Sons, but it relates to Children, poorvapunya (good deeds of previous
lives), intelligence, knowledge & scholarship, devotion, mantras
(prayers), stomach, digestive system, authority/power, fame, love,
affection, emotions, judgment, speculation. When we say Children, it
includes both Sons and Daughters and also Neuters, all depending on
the Grah /Planets posited /aspecting/ conjoined/and the house itself,
there is a direct relation, this house also tells us about our past good
deeds or Punya Karma, if one has children, one can infer directly
that one did have Punya ( Good Deeds) Karma from the past life, if
Sons or Daughters, It does not matter, but in Ancient times in India,
Son was seen as a Mandatory requirement for the family lineage to
progress, I do not deny that it exists even today.

5th House/ Putra Bhava is one of the important houses along with
Ascendent, Yuvati Bhava, Dharma Bhava, Karma Bhava, and Labha
Bhava.

Effects of Putra Bhava - 5th House. BPHS
1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putra Bhava (5th
House).
If the Lords of Lagna and Putra are in their own Rasis, or in an angle,
or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness through his children.
Should Putras Lord be in Ari (6th), Randhra (8th), or Vyaya Bhava
(12th), there will be no offspring.
Should the Lord of Putra be combust (Posited very close to Sun), or be
with malefics and be weak, there will be no children; even, if per
chance issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon.
The Yuti of Putras Lord with Lagnas Lord in a good Bhava will
ensure early obtainment of children apart from happiness through
them. If they join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a defect in this
respect.
4. If Putras Lord is in Ari Bhava, as Lagnas Lord is yuti (Conjoined)
with Mangal, the native will lose his very first child, where after his
female will not be fertile to yield an offspring.
5. Should Putras Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava,
while Budh and Ketu are in Putra Bhava, the natives wife will give
birth to one child only.
6. If Putras Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putra, while Sani
(Saturn) and Budh are in Putra, the natives wife will give birth to
one child only.
7. Should Dharms Lord be in Lagna, while Putras Lord is in fall and
Ketu is in Putra along with Budh, obtainment of progeny will be after
a great deal of ordeal.
8. If Putras Lord is in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an
inimical Rasi, or be in fall, or in Putra itself, the native will beget
issues with difficulty.
9. Should Putra Bhava be owned by Sani (Saturn), or Budh and be
occupied, or drishtied by ani and Mandi, one will have adopted
issues.
10. Should Surya and Chandra be together in a Rasi and in the same
Navamsa, the native will be brought up by three mothers, or two
fathers.
11. Adopted issue is indicated, if Putra is tenanted by six Grahas,
while its Lord is in Vyaya Bhava and Chandra and Lagna are
endowed with strength.
12. There will be many children, if Putras Lord is strong, while Putra
is drishtied by strong Budh, Guru and Sukra.
13. If Putras Lord is with Chandra, or is in her Decanate, the native
will beget daughters; so say Jyotishis (Astrologers).
14. If Putras Lord is in a Movable Rasi, while Sani (Saturn) is in
Putra, as Rahu is with Chandra, the child (so born) is of questionable
birth.
15. Undoubtedly the native is born of others loins, if Chandra is in the
8
th
from Lagna, while Guru is in the 8
th
from Chandra. Malefics
Drishti, or Yuti is essential in this Yog.
16. If Putras Lord is exalted, or be in Dhana, Putra, or Dharma
Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of children
will be there.
17. One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if Putra
is occupied by three, or four malefics, while Putras Lord is in fall. A
benefic (including Budh) in Putra is excluded in the said combination.
18. If Putra is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Sukra, one will
obtain an offspring in his 32
nd
, or 33
rd
year.
19. Should Putras Lord be in an angle along with Guru, the Karak,
one will beget a child at the age of 30, or 36.
20. If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Sukra is in the 9
th
from Guru
along with Lagnas Lord, one will beget a child at the age of 40.
21. The native will at the age of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putra,
Putras Lord is in Yuti with a malefic and Guru is in debilitation.
22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if a malefic is in the
5
th
from Guru, while another is in the 5
th
from Lagna.
23. Should Mandi be in Lagna, while Lagnas Lord is in fall, grief on
account of loss of child at the age of 56 will come to pass.
24-32. Number of Children.
There will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied
by malefics, while Putras Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagnas
Lord, as Guru is with another benefic.
Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in deep
exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhanas Lord and Dharm is occupied by
its own Lord.
There will be eight sons, if Guru is in Putra, or Dharm Bhava, while
Putras Lord is endowed with strength and Dhans Lord is in Karma
Bhava.
Sani in Dharm Bhava, while Putras Lord is in Putra itself, gives 7
sons, out of which twins will be born twice.
If Putras Lord is in Putra in Yuti with Dhanas Lord, there will be
birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away.
Only one son is denoted, if there be a malefic in Putra Bhava, while
Guru is in the 5
th
from Sani, or vice versa.
If Putra Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Sani is in the 5
th
from Guru,
the native will beget offspring only through his second, or third wife.
Should Putra be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti with Sani in
Putra Bhava, as Lagnas Lord is in Dhana Bhava and Putras Lord is
yuti with Mangal, one will live long, but lose his children one after the
other, as they are born.

Kalyana Verma's Saravali : Putra Bhava
ABOUT THE 5
th
HOUSE.
If the 5
th
House contains a benefic, or is aspected by a benefic, or be a
benefic's Rasi, the native will surely beget children. If it is different,
he will not obtain progeny. If the 5
th
House counted from the Moon, or
the Ascendant, the stronger prevailing, has at least one Jupiter's
division in the various Varga calculations, or has a benefic's Rasi in it
and is aspected by a benefic, the native will have legitimate issue.
NUMBER OF CHILDREN.
If the Navamsa of the 5
th
falls in a benefic's Rasi the number of
children equals the number of Navamsa past in the 5
th
House. The
aspect of a benefic on the 5
th
Bhava doubles the number, while malefic
Rasi, as 5
th
House Navamsa and the said House receiving a malefic's
aspect confers progeny with difficulty.
AUTHORIZING OTHER KINSMAN TO RAISE PROGENY FOR THE
NATIVE.
If the 5
th
House containing Mercury in it and is in aspect to Saturn,
but without the aspect of the others, as cited above. House falls in the
divisions (like Rasi, Navamsa, drekkana etc.) of Saturn and be with
Mercury's aspect, but without that of Jupiter/Mars/Sun, the native
obtains progeny by authorizing his kinsman to raise the same for him
from his (the natives) wife. Similar result prevails, if Mercury's Rasi
be in the 5
ADOPTED OR BOUGHT PROGENY.
If the 5
th
House belongs to Saturn and be occupied by Saturn himself
with the aspect of the Moon, one procures a child by adoption, or by
an act of purchase. Identical effect follows the position of Mercury in
the 5
th
House owned by him receiving the Moon's aspect.
ADOPTION SANS CONSENT.
Should the 5
th
House contain Saturn with out any aspect from others
and fall in a Sapthamsa (D-7) owned by Mars, the native will adopt a
grown up child without the consent of its natural parents.
BASE CHILDREN.
If the 5
th
House contains the Sun and falls in the divisions of Saturn
receiving the aspect of Mars, the children so obtained will be abject.
Should the Moon be in the 5
th
House and receive exclusively Saturn's
aspect, while the 5
th
House falls in a Navamsa of Mars, even then the
progeny will be foolish and base.
If the 5
th
House is occupied by Mars falling in many of Saturn's
divisions and be in aspect to the Sun, one will obtain a son, that is
adopted by a stranger after its being cast off by its original parents, so
says sage Karuna.
ISSUE BY A REMARRIED WIDOW.
Should the 5
th
House fall in Saturn's Vargas and contain both the
Moon and Saturn therein, in aspect to both the Sun and Venus,
progeny will be begotten by a widow given to the native in
remarriage.
PROGENY BY A VIRGIN.
Should the Moon be in the 7
th
along with the Sun, or the Moon being in
the 5
th
in aspect to, or in the company of the Sun, one will obtain issue
through an unmarried girl.
PROGENY BY A WOMAN PREGNANT AT MARRIAGE.
If the 5
th
House falls in the divisions of the Luminaries and contains
the Moon and the Sun in aspect to Venus only, one will have progeny
by a woman, who will already be pregnant at the time of marriage.
ISSUELESSNESS.
If the 5
th
House falls in a malefic's Sign and be occupied by strong
malefics without benefic's aspect, the native will be childless.
PROGENY BY A FEMALE SLAVE.
If the 5
th
House be in a Navamsa of Venus and be aspected by Venus,
one will beget progeny by a female servant. Some scholars opine, that
even, if the Moon's Navamsa and the Moon so come in the picture, the
said effects will come to pass.
SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
When the 5
th
House has exclusively the divisions of the Moon and
Venus and be with aspects of Venus and the Moon alone, or be
occupied by these two alone, or, when the said House has the divisions
of only even Signs, the native will beget only female children. In a
contrary situation, (i.e. 5
th
House falling in divisions of odd Signs only
and be excluded from the occupation, or aspect of Venus and the
Moon but others), there will be birth of only male children.
CHILDLESSNESS.
When the Moon occupies the 10
th
House, Venus is in the 7
th
and
malefics are in the 4
th
, the natives dynasty does not descend any
further.
LOSS OF CHILDREN.
Should Mars be in the 5
th
, the children of the native will pass away, as
they are born. However, if Jupiter, or Venus lend aspect to the said
position, the loss relates only to the first child. If all planets aspect (the
said Mars), then there is no loss at all of children.
SPECIAL EFFECTS.
Should the 5
th
House be occupied exclusively by malefics, the native
will be devoid of wealth, own men and happiness. If Mars is in the
5
th
House, he will be distressed (or deformed). Saturn so posited denotes
sickness. The occupations of Mercury, Jupiter, or Venus will confer
abundant happiness and wealth.
Effects of Grah/Planets in 5th House or Putra Bhava

If the Sun occupies the 5
th
, the native will be bereft of happiness, sons
and wealth, will live by husbandry, will move in hills and fortresses,
be fickle-minded, scholarly, devoid of strength and be short-lived.

Should the Moon be in 5
th
, the native will be timid in disposition, will
earn learning, clothes and food, will have many sons and friends, be a
scholar and be passionate.

If Mars occupies the 5
th
, the native will be devoid of happiness, wealth
and sons, be fickle-minded, be a talebearer, will incur evils, be wicked,
distressed and mean.


If Mercury occupies the 5
th
, the native will be an expert in Mantras
(sacred spells) and Abhicra (malevolent spells), will have many sons,
be endowed with learning, happiness and efficacy and be delighted.

If Jupiter occupies the 5
th
, the native will have abundant happiness,
many sons and friends, be learned, courageous, wealthy and will
always be happy.

If Venus is posited in the 5
th
, the native will be endowed with
happiness, sons and friends, be fond of sexual union, be very affluent,
full of everything and be a minister, or a justice.

If Saturn in the 5th Bhava: Should Saturn occupy the 5
th
Bhava, the
native will be bereft of happiness, sons, friends, intelligence and
kindness, be agitated and be poor.

If Rahu in 5th Bhava:

Underclass or foreign attributes of the children, Rahu in a Rasi of
Mercury and Shani may deny children all together, though there
might be a great desire for children, conception and development of
children might happen in very peculiar circumstances, and yet the
children might become the source of happiness and might become
famous and distinguished in their culture, possibility of foreign
adoption, or might get involved in raising own grandchildren.

If Ketu in 5th Bhava: Ketu will reduce the happiness one is supposed
to get from the children and the effects will be like separation between
the parents and the children, the native suffers from his own thoughts,
hence suffering, mental and physical, the native might be weak,
crafty, timid, impatient, jealous and might not have any interest
what so ever in religion and travel

General understanding should be like, if the house is male or female,
the lord of the 5th house is male or female, the planets occupying the
5th house are male or female, if there is any aspect from Jupiter or
Venus, or Moon, etc, the number of planets, etc etc to deduce the sex
and no of children and health and intelligence of the children.
