Introduction
In human life, the birth of chilren occupies a !ery prominent place" #he parents fin their o$n
image in their chilren an see the progression of their lineage though the future of their
chilren" #he mother has to pass through nine months of grooming of the infant, $ith all it ta%es,
$hich a mother can better unerstan an the results are still uncertain" &any of them are born
still, many of them are born $ith incapability an many get eraicate from their !ery start of
'ourney" (!ery thing has a !ery profoun impact on the parents an their future"
)rognosticating the se* of the unborn chil has been a matter of concern in the recent years,
$here the foetus are %ille $hen they are substantially gro$n an ha their ientity as a human
chil insie the $omb" If the se* of the chil is not $hat the parents $ant, they $ere brutally
e*tricate" #han%s to the meical science that it can+t say anything about the se* of the chil
before it gro$s up substantially an help the parents to ecie in a!ance $hether or not to ha!e
a baby"
#his is $here Jyotish comes to rescue" ,ecause it can see the path much ahea of the time, it can
fore$arn the parents about the future possibilities an help them in ma%ing a conscious ecision"
#he more important thing of all is that Jyotish can gi!e remeies, $hen it 'uges the possibilities
are more negati!e than positi!e" Such remeies not only eraicate the root of the problem, but
also prepare the parents to bolly face the impening angers"
In the forthcoming portions, $e shall stuy, ho$ to prognosticating the birth an life of the
chilren an the remeies to aress the impening ifficulties an anger to the parents an

In 0emale 1oroscope, &oon an in &ale horoscope, Sun an Jupiter becomes the %ey
