Will my children support and take care of me when I get old or retired?

In Vedic astrology, the relationship with children and the likelihood of their support in old age can be analyzed through specific houses, planets, and their positions in your birth chart. Here’s how astrologers typically assess this:

1. Houses in Focus

  • 5th House (Children): This house represents your children, their nature, and your relationship with them. A strong and well-placed 5th house generally indicates a good relationship with children and their willingness to support you.
  • 9th House (Fortune, Dharma, and Support from Others): The 9th house represents blessings, dharma (duty), and fortune. A strong 9th house can indicate good karma related to your children and their support.
  • 4th House (Comforts and Old Age): The 4th house governs your emotional well-being, comforts, and the overall experience in your later years. It also represents the home environment in old age.
  • 2nd House (Family and Wealth): Represents family, resources, and accumulated wealth. A strong 2nd house indicates family support and financial stability.

2. Planetary Influence

  • Jupiter: Jupiter is the significator (Karaka) of children in Vedic astrology. A strong and well-placed Jupiter, especially in connection with the 5th house or its lord, is a positive indicator of supportive children.
  • Sun: The Sun represents authority and the father figure, and its placement can indicate the respect and authority you hold within the family, which can influence the level of support you receive.
  • Moon: Represents emotional bonds and nurturing. A well-placed Moon, especially in relation to the 4th house, can indicate emotional support from your children in old age.
  • Saturn: Governs duties, responsibilities, and discipline. A well-placed Saturn can indicate dutiful children who take responsibility for their parents.

3. Yogas and Afflictions

  • Putra Dosha: Any affliction to the 5th house, its lord, or Jupiter can indicate challenges related to children, which might affect their ability or willingness to support you.
  • Santana Yoga: If the 5th house, its lord, and Jupiter are well-placed and form favorable yogas, it indicates good fortune related to children, including their support in old age.
  • Afflicted 4th or 9th House: If these houses are afflicted, it could indicate challenges in receiving support and care in your old age.

4. Dasha Periods

  • The planetary periods (Dashas) can also influence the level of support you receive from your children. A favorable Dasha of planets connected to the 5th, 4th, or 9th house can indicate a period of strong family support.

5. Navamsa Chart (D9 Chart)

  • The Navamsa chart can provide a deeper understanding of the strength of the 5th house and its lord, offering additional insights into your relationship with your children.

Summary

  • Positive Indicators: A strong 5th house, a well-placed Jupiter, and supportive planetary yogas typically indicate that your children will care for and support you in your old age.
  • Challenging Indicators: Afflictions to the 5th house, its lord, or Jupiter, or difficult placements in the 4th or 9th house, might suggest challenges in receiving support from your children.

To provide a more detailed and personalized analysis, I would need your birth details (date, time, and place of birth). This would allow for an in-depth examination of your natal chart to assess the likelihood of support from your children in your later years.
