The vrat
Mothers fast without water for the welfare of their children, paint or hang the Ahoi Mata image with the seven sons, and offer water to the stars (or the Moon, which rises at 11:38 PM in Delhi) before eating. It falls eight days before Diwali and is the last of the Karwa Chauth–Ahoi pair.
Children in the chart
The 5th house and Jupiter govern children; Ahoi Ashtami is the classical vrat where the 5th house is afflicted or a child is unwell. The children page explains the reading; the 5th house and its lord are in the free kundli. Karwa Chauth 2027 is four days earlier, Dhanteras 2027 five days later.
