To see Children, one has to see Native’s Saptama or D7 chart.
For a male nativity, subsequent children are determined from the lords of every 3rd house, from the fifth, in direct order, i.e. the second child 7th house lord third child from 9th house lord, and fourth child from 11th house lord and so on
whereas, for a female nativity, subsequent children are determined from the lords of every 3rd house from the ninth, in reverse order. i.e. the second child from 7th house lord, third child from 5th lord and fourth child from 3rd lord and so on.
A male child is predicted, if the lord of the child is,
(a) placed in an odd sign or, Cancer or Pisces OR
(b) exalted or conjoins exalted planets, or
(C) conjunct the Sun, Jupiter, Mars or Rahu (considered male planets).
A female child is predicted, if the lord of the child is,
(a) placed in an even sign, Gemini or Aquarius, OR
(b) debilitated or conjoins debilitated planets, or
(c) conjunct the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Ketu (Considered feminine planets) or Saturn
