In Vedic Astrology, the birth of a child is not just a biological event but a karmic fruition. This calculator utilizes the Beeja Sphuta (for the father) and Kshetra Sphuta (for the mother) methods. These "Sphutas" represent the potency of the 'seed' and the 'field' respectively.
What is Beeja Sphuta?
Beeja Sphuta is calculated by adding the longitudes of the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter in the father's birth chart. The Sun represents the vital energy, the Moon represents the mind, and Jupiter represents the Putra Karaka (significator of children). If the resulting point falls in an Odd Sign and an Odd Navamsha, it indicates strong vitality for fatherhood.
What is Kshetra Sphuta?
Kshetra Sphuta is calculated by summing the longitudes of Mars, the Moon, and Jupiter in the mother's birth chart. Mars represents the blood and fertility, the Moon represents the uterus/nourishment, and Jupiter signifies the divine blessing. For a woman, if this point falls in an Even Sign and an Even Navamsha, it indicates a highly fertile 'field' for conception.
The Role of the 5th House
While these mathematical points are crucial, Vedic astrologers also look at the 5th House and its lord. The 5th House is the primary house of progeny. The presence or aspect of Jupiter on the 5th House is considered the greatest blessing for child birth. Conversely, the influence of Rahu or Ketu can sometimes indicate delays or the need for spiritual remedies (Upayas).
Interpreting Results
High Potential: Both Beeja and Kshetra Sphutas are auspicious. Childbirth is likely to occur easily during the Dasha of the 5th lord or Jupiter.
Moderate Potential: One Sphuta is auspicious while the other is weak. This suggests some delays or the need for medical and astrological intervention.
Karmic Obstruction: If both points fall in inauspicious signs, it suggests a "Pitru Dosha" or "Sarpadosha," where specific Vedic rituals may be recommended.
