There are many couples that would like to have children but for some reason, it does not happen. How do we see about pregnancy in the natal chart? The first thing would be to study the position and aspects of the Moon. This video contains is just an example chart, of the moment in which I decided to make an astrological video about pregnancy.
The Moon is on 8 Libra, while Mars is on 3 Leo and there is nice sextile aspect between them. Sextile is the aspect of ease, works in small groups, is analogous to the third house and the sign of Gemini. The difference of 5 degrees is analogous to the sign of Leo and the 5th house, which is about children, so if this were the chart of a woman asking about pregnancy in the natal chart, she would be bound to have at least one child throughout her life.
The other thing to watch about pregnancy in the natal chart is the 5th house. Here, the 5th house is extremely strong, with the Sun and Venus in it. The Sun in the 5th house makes “having children” the main theme of this chart, while Venus is both the ruler of the fifth house and is in the sign through which it rules it, the sign of Taurus. So this is a chart about pregnancy, and very much so!
It would be better if the planets in the fifth house had more favourable aspects. Here, there is just trine between Venus and Jupiter and the trine between the Sun and Jupiter from Capricorn.
The fifth house always means the first pregnancy or conception, and is very important when trying to conceive in general. In this chart, there is a square aspect between the Sun and Neptune, which is a very unfortunate aspect. The first pregnancy could go on for some time without being noticed or diagnosed, and there could be a forced abortion because the woman would be taking medicaments without being aware of being pregnant at the time.
The second pregnancy is denoted by the 7th house, the third pregnancy is denoted by the 9th house and so on. For a woman with this horoscope, we would say that the first and the third pregnancy would be feasible, while the empty 7th house would denote that the fate of the second pregnancy would be defined by the planets that her husband would bring into that part of her horoscope, through synastry.
For women with a history of infertility or with a diagnosed marital infertility, we would also study the solar return chart and the secondary progression chart. The 8th house denotes the actual course of the first pregnancy, the 10th house is the course of the second pregnancy and so on.

A multitude of planets in the fifth house does not always mean that there will be conception and children. This ispired a contrarian question of
if the fifth house is empty, i.e. has no planets, will that make the woman automatically barren”?
Not at all, but much will depend on “external circumstances”, such as:
– where the ruler of the fifth house is in her natal chart, and what aspects does it make towards the other planets in the chart;
– are there some transits to the fifth house or its ruler that could be favourable,
– synastry, what do planets of her partner do when transposed into her chart,
– the horoscope of the first contact or the marriage itself; sometimes it is possible to define the horoscope of the marriage so that the woman is helped out by the planets in the marriage chart.
There are many interactions such as these, and analysing them in horoscopes of barren women and barren wifes takes time and experience, which is exactly why reading horoscopes is or can be a profession.
And this is all about the fifth house and the first pregnancy: if the first pregnancy took place but did not result in giving birth, then we concentrate on the seventh house and its ruler. That is why I always ask first how many pregnancies have already happened: sometimes the woman will ask about the second child that she would like to have while never mentioning that she already has had one child, which would mislead me as her astrologer of choice.
There may be other factors in play, for instance, karmic debts will also make a childless woman, but I’ll leave that for another post, on getting pregnant and karma.
