In both the Natal and Horary Charts check the 5th Cusp Sub Lords.
(Also remember Jupiter is Karaka for child)
Child Promised: If 5th SL is connected with Houses 2, 5 and 11, and Jupiter,
then promise of child is there to the native.
No Child: If 5th SL is connected with Houses 4, 10 and 12 plus Barren signs
(Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo) or connected with Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, then
there would be no child to the native.
Male Child: If 5th SL is connected with Mars,Sun and Jupiter, then Child
would be Male

would be female.

Eunuch: If 5th SL connected with Saturn or Mercury, then Eunuch.
Role of planetary Influences: At the time of Birth, The dasha and Bhukti
Lords also play some role.
Odd & Even Signs: Planets deposited in Odd signs indicate Male child and in
even signs indicate female child.
Delayed Child: If 5th SubLord shows promise of child but the Dasha Lords do
not approve, then child is there, but delayed.
Prosperity after Child Birth: If in child's chart Jupiter is connected with 1st,
2nd, 5th, 9th or 10th house, then the child birth would indicate prosperity for
the family.
There are hundreds of other rules, for step Mother, adoption, child abuse, only
one child, relationship of child with parents, hereditary diseases to the child,
child being brought up by foster parents etc. which we may look into some
another day.
