Accordingly some natives blessed by this benefic influence may specialize in one of these fields and they may start practicing as professionals in such fields. If benefic Rahu or benefic Venus is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may become a successful astrologer or he may start providing spiritual guidance to the people in need of it, after gaining good amount of knowledge and experience in the subject.

If benefic Moon or benefic Sun is present in ninth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the amount of success and recognition obtained by this native may increase further.

Taking a look at another combination in the same case, if benefic retrograde Jupiter is present in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and benefic Moon is present in the twelfth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native under the combined effect of these benefic influences may become more interested in direct spiritual studies and practices, instead of being interested in other faiths like astrology or other such healing techniques.

It should be noted that though some astrologers believe that the placement of Jupiter in fifth house of a horoscope is not a good placement for this planet as it can cause problems related to the children aspect of the native and it can even deprive the native of any children, but such beliefs are just misconceptions and nothing more than that.

It is believed by these astrologers that Jupiter placed in fifth house of a horoscope can cause the effect of ‘Karako Bhavo Nashto’ which means that if the significator of any house of a horoscope is placed in that house itself, it can destroy the results related to that house. As Jupiter is the significator of the fifth house according to Vedic astrology, it is believed by these astrologers that the presence of Jupiter in fifth house of a horoscope can delay the child birth or it can deny children to such native. However, this is just a misconception and nothing else as such effects can only be caused by Jupiter placed in the fifth house of a horoscope, when such Jupiter is working negatively in the horoscope whereas the presence of benefic Jupiter in the fifth house of a horoscope can bless the native with some of the best possible children, among many other good things.

For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Jupiter in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with beautiful, healthy and intelligent children and accordingly, the natives under the good influence of this placement are likely to be blessed by such children, provided their overall horoscopes allow it. The presence of such benefic retrograde Jupiter in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer is especially very good for the female natives when it comes to conceiving and delivering children. Accordingly the female natives benefitting from this positive influence are likely to have solid reproductive organs as well as good reproductive systems and by virtue of these things, they are able to conceive and deliver children without any major issues. If benefic Moon is also placed in the fifth house of the same horoscope of a female native in the sign of Cancer, such female native may give birth to children with special abilities like creative abilities, and her children may earn good amount of success and fame through such abilities.

On the other hand, the presence of retrograde Jupiter in the fifth house of a horoscope can cause serious problems for the native under its influence if such Jupiter turns negative in a horoscope. Accordingly the natives suffering from such malefic influence may face problems and disturbances in many spheres of their lives depending on the type and strength of such malefic placement, as well as depending on their overall horoscopes. Some natives under the malefic effect of this bad influence may face difficulty and delay in child birth and they may have to wait till long or very long period of time in order to have their first child, whereas some other natives under this malefic influence may give birth to children who are physically or mentally not up to the normal standard and they may also have some physical or mental disabilities in some extreme cases of this malefic influence.

Such malefic retrograde Jupiter in fifth house may especially be very bad when it happens to be in the horoscope of a female and accordingly some female natives under such malefic influence may have to face different types of problems related to child birth, depending on the type and strength of such malefic influence and depending on the overall tone of their horoscope. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Jupiter in the fifth house of the horoscope of a female in the sign of Scorpio can trouble her a lot when it comes to conceive and deliver children. Such female native may suffer from some defect related to one of her reproductive organs like uterus or ovaries, or the working of such organs may not be normal due to which she may have difficulties in conceiving. Such female native may have to face delay in conceiving her first child and she may also have to go through medical treatment in order to conceive a child.

If malefic Rahu, malefic Ketu or malefic Saturn is also placed in fifth house of the same horoscope along with malefic retrograde Jupiter in the sign of Scorpio, the female native under the combined effect of these malefic planets may have to face problems of higher intensity. Such female native may have to face abortion of one or more than one of her child and in some extreme cases, she may have to face medical complications or even a possible threat to her life by virtue of an abortion causing poisoning effect in her body. The combined effect of such malefic influences may also delay the child birth till a very long age and in some extreme cases, when there are no child promoting factors, such female native may have to remain childless throughout her life.

For example, the combination of malefic retrograde Jupiter and malefic Rahu or Ketu in the fifth house of the horoscope of a female native in the sign of Scorpio can cause abortions and medical complications whereas the presence of a combination of malefic retrograde Jupiter and malefic Saturn in the fifth house of the same horoscope can cause very long delay in childbirth and such combination can also deny the possibility of a children forever, if there are no child promoting combinations present in the horoscope of such female native. For instance, the presence of benefic Moon and benefic Venus in the first house of the same horoscope in this sign of Cancer can still bless this female native with one or even more than one child after some delay and some medical treatment, despite the presence of such malefic combination in the fifth house of her horoscope.

Malefic retrograde Jupiter in fifth house can also cause problems related to the professional sphere of the native and accordingly some natives under such bad influence may have to face negative results related to their professional spheres where the type and intensity of these negative results may vary from native to native, depending on the type and strength of this placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native in question. Some natives under this malefic influence may not get jobs according to their qualifications and they may have to work for jobs which pay low or much low compared to their qualifications whereas some other natives under this malefic influence may have to remain jobless for periods of some months or even some years, more than once in their lives. In extreme cases, when such malefic retrograde Jupiter in fifth house of a horoscope is strong and the overall horoscope is also negative, the native may not be able to get a stable profession till late in his life or for his entire life and he may have to live on support of his relatives and friends.
