In the journey of life, the inability to have a child at the right time is often a major cause of deep sorrow for many individuals. In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), we analyze every problem to find a solution in one form or another. However, before we can effectively apply a remedy, it is absolutely essential to understand the root cause of the issue. By diagnosing why the problem is arising, we can apply a more targeted and effective cure.
The Role of the 5th House (Pancham Bhava)
In a horoscope, the specific house that relates to children is the 5th House, known as the Pancham Bhava. This house holds a dual significance; it is not only the house of progeny but also the house of Purva Punya, or past life merits. Therefore, you may often observe that when someone has very good children or their children earn great fame, people commonly say it is the result of their good deeds.
This connection exists because the 5th House governs both your offspring and the credits of your past actions. Consequently, the condition of this house determines the happiness one derives from children.
Malefic vs. Benefic Influences
Problems regarding childbirth usually arise when the 5th House is influenced by malefic or “harsh” planets. For example, if planets like Saturn (Shani), Rahu, Ketu, Mars (Mangal), or the Sun (Surya) form a connection with the 5th House, complications can occur.
Specifically, if Rahu connects with the 5th House, it has been observed that the person may remain childless or face severe hardships regarding progeny. On the other hand, if benefic planets like the Moon, Venus, Mercury, or Jupiter connect with this house, the individual generally does not face such struggles. Interestingly, if the Moon (a female planet) connects with the 5th House, the person may have more daughters. Meanwhile, if Mercury sits in the 5th House, it can sometimes lead to the birth of twins.
Jupiter: The Key Significator
While the 5th House is the location, the planet Jupiter (Brihaspati) is the Karaka, or the natural significator of children and creation. Even if there are delays caused by other planetary combinations, a strong Jupiter has the power to grant children. Therefore, strengthening Jupiter is often the key to overcoming these obstacles.
The Gold Stick Remedy: A Logical Approach
To fix a weak Jupiter, we can look to ancient wisdom. In Ayurveda and Jyotish, Jupiter is directly associated with gold. The Ayurvedic substance Swarna Bhasma (gold ash) is well-known for treating reproductive issues in both men and women. Based on this logic, there is a powerful remedy you can perform at home.
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Prepare a Gold Stick: First, have a stick or rod made of pure gold. The width or thickness can be according to your preference and capacity.
- Morning Routine: This remedy should be done in the morning when you consume milk.
- Heat the Stick: Turn on your gas stove and hold the gold stick over the flame. Heat it until it becomes red hot (Lal Surkh).
- Quench in Milk: Immediately dip the red-hot gold stick into your glass of milk.
- Repeat: Perform this heating and dipping process 7 to 11 times for that single glass of milk before drinking it.
As a result of this process, the elemental properties of gold—which represent Jupiter—are transferred into the milk. In astrology, milk represents the Moon. Since Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer (ruled by the Moon), mixing the element of Jupiter into the element of the Moon creates a highly auspicious combination. This acts as a medical and astrological remedy, gradually helping to resolve issues related to childbirth.
