In this case, the native may have to face court cases by virtue of something wrong happening in his field of profession but he is likely to get out of all of these court cases without having to face any physical punishment. It means that some of these court cases may be decided in favor of the native, some of these court cases may get settled outside the court as both parties may reach a compromise and some of these court cases may end up in some type of financial penalty or in some type of formal warning for the native but he may not have to spend any time in prison.

Some of these natives may have to wait for long or very long before they can have their first child and some of these natives may not be able to produce a male child. In some extreme cases, where this defect is strong and some other negative influences are also present in the horoscope of the native, the native may have to remain childless throughout his life.
For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo can form the type of Pitra Dosh which can cause problems related to the child aspect of the native due to which such native may have to face delays and he may also have to get some type of medical treatment for a long period of time in order to have a child.

The presence of such malefic combination in the horoscope of a female can trouble her with serious medical issues related to her reproductive region due to which, she may not be able to conceive a child at all and she may have to undergo long medical treatment in order to get out of such issues. If malefic Ketu is also present in ninth house of the same horoscope, the possibility of a child may altogether be denied, provided there are no other child promoting combinations in the horoscope of such female native.
Looking at such benefic influences, the presence of benefic and exalted Moon in the fifth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Taurus can make a big change in this whole scenario and the female native blessed by this positive and strong influence may still deliver more than one child despite having such malefic and child denying combinations in her horoscope. Astrology is a science of probabilities and accordingly no single factor or even a couple of strong factors can predict something with certainty as there may be something else happening in some other house of the same horoscope which may completely change the initial prediction obtained from first set of combinations. Hence no predictions should be made by looking at a single placement or combination and the entire horoscope of a native should be analyzed carefully before making any predictions.
