I have researched aspects to denote pregnancy and childbirth (at least in women's charts.)
Men's charts would show something for fatherhood, no? I'm curious as to how this will present itself? Given the emotional and domestic changes, some aspects I would expect to maybe be similar?
I would appreciate to hear anyone's insight on this matter! Thank you!
The natural investigation of the topic is as follows. The Midheaven by virtue of its greatest heat and power is the place of children. The post-ascension has a similar power, as does the Anti-Midheaven and its post-ascension for they are moving towards the Midheaven with an opposition. Planets moving towards the Midheaven with some other close aspect can also portend children, though the four aforementioned places are most important in their given order.
Moon, Jupiter and Venus indicate children.
Sun, Saturn and Mars indicate few or no children.
Mercury is common, giving children as morning planet associated with beneficent planets, and taking away children as evening planet associated with maleficent planets.
Masculine planets give male children.
Feminine planets give female children.
Beneficent planets in feminine and dual signs indicate more than one children, but in masculine signs in superior quartile or opposition to Saturn or Mars, they will suffer injury and be short-lived. And if the Sun or the maleficent planets themselves are in masculine signs without being overcome by the beneficent planets, the native will be completely childless.
Favourably placed planets indicate famous and illustrious children, the unfavourably placed planets, humble and obscure. If they are in conjunction, sextile or trine aspect with the Ascendant or the Lot of Fortune, the children will be dear to their parents, but if they are disjunct or in opposition, they will be quarrelsome, trouble-makers, and injurious. If there are two donative planets, and if they are in harmonious aspect one to another, the children which they give continue with brotherly affection and mutual respect, but if they are disjunct or in opposition to one another, the disposition of the children will be quarrelsome and scheming.
Particular details about children can be conjectured by setting the donative planet as the Ascendant, and then making an investigation of the more important questions from the rest of the configuration, as in a nativity.
