Progeny in Vedic Astrology

Marriage of a couple is understood successful if a child takes birth in their family. Astrologically when we have to see the promise of child birth, we'll have to check first their procreative power. The men’s strength for impregnation depends on the Sun and the strength of the semen on Venus. The sound condition of the ovary in female is indicated by the Moon while the fitness of the ovum is shown by Mars. The conception takes place when the seed (Father) is healthy and the soil (Mother) is fertile.
