Vamshaccheda Yoga in Astrology – Causes, Effects, and 3 Powerful Remedies
April 10, 2025 Table of Contents
1. Introduction
Vamshaccheda Yoga is an astrological combination that indicates the possible end of a person’s lineage or family bloodline. The term Vamshaccheda comes from Sanskrit, where Vamsha means family lineage and Ccheda means cutting or ending. This means that a person born with this yoga may not have children or may be the last one in their ancestral lineage.
This yoga is mentioned in Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/65) and is formed when:
✔ The Moon is in the 10th house
✔ Venus is in the 4th house
✔ A malefic planet (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu) is in the 7th house
When these planetary conditions are met, the person is believed to face difficulties in continuing their family lineage, either due to infertility, lack of progeny, or circumstances that prevent having descendants.
Why is This Yoga Important?
- In traditional societies, continuing the family name was considered important, and those without children were often seen as unlucky or facing karmic consequences.
- While modern perspectives have changed, this yoga can still indicate fertility issues, relationship problems, or a lack of desire to have children.
This blog will cover:
✔ How Vamshaccheda Yoga is formed.
✔ Examples of this yoga in birth charts.
✔ Effects on family, children, and lineage.
✔ Challenges faced by individuals with this yoga.
✔ Astrological remedies to overcome childlessness and continue the lineage.
2. Formation of Vamshaccheda Yoga
This yoga occurs when the Moon, Venus, and a malefic planet occupy the 10th, 4th, and 7th houses respectively. These houses play a crucial role in family continuity and relationships:
- The 10th house (Moon) → Represents karma and public life. If the Moon is afflicted here, the native’s life purpose may not favor family continuity.
- The 4th house (Venus) → Governs motherhood, emotional stability, and home life. Venus here may indicate a desire for pleasure over responsibility.
- The 7th house (Malefic influence) → Represents marriage and partnerships. If Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu are placed here, relationship struggles and childlessness may arise.
Example 1: Infertility and No Progeny
- Lagna: Aries
- Moon in the 10th house (Capricorn, with no benefic aspects)
- Venus in the 4th house (Cancer)
- Saturn in the 7th house (Libra, no benefic aspects)
🔹 Effect:
- High chances of infertility or difficulties in conception.
- The native may experience multiple failed pregnancies.
- Possibility of marriage but without children.
Example 2: Lack of Desire for Children or Family Continuity
- Lagna: Leo
- Moon in the 10th house (Taurus, exalted, but receiving Mar’s aspect from the 7th house)
- Venus in the 4th house (Scorpio)
- Rahu in the 7th house (Aquarius, creating relationship instability)
🔹 Effect:
- The person may actively choose not to have children.
- Interest in spirituality or a career-focused life, neglecting family expansion.
- Possibility of multiple relationships but no stable marriage or progeny.
Example 3: Problems in Marriage Leading to End of Lineage
- Lagna: Virgo
- Moon in the 10th house (Gemini, receiving malefic aspect from Mars in the 7th house)
- Venus in the 4th house (Sagittarius)
- Mars in the 7th house (Pisces, without benefic aspect)
🔹 Effect:
- Marriage instability, frequent separations or divorces.
- Inability to sustain a family due to continuous conflicts.
- Either the person remains childless, or relationships do not last long enough to have children.
