Progenic Problems

Delay and denial of progeny causes great mental anguish to people.   The reasons for delay and denial are traced through the following significators in Prasna charts :

1.    The strength of the lord of the fifth house as a prime determinant.

2.    If there is no mooltrikona sign in the fifth house then the lord of the second house becomes the prime determinant.

3 .    The significator planets, Jupiter and the Sun.

The weakness and affliction of the above significators in the Prasna cause progenic problems.  We shall discuss the matter further through the case studies.
