Some of you also may be doubting of the validity of the Virgo
lagna chart of FDR's (Franklin D. Roosevelt) chart from the
point of view of his six children, which I can well understand,
since normally the lord of the 5th in the 8th in its debilitation
sign would not give this, and might even deny children altogther.

In my opinion, what modifies this is the following:
1. Saturn as the 5th lord aspects its own house, which is a
classical princple for a house "prospering."
2. Saturn is with the natural benefic Jupiter, karaka of children
and planet of largesse.
3. Saturn's dispositor Mars goes to a kendra with directional
strength
4. Most importantly in my view (from the standpoint of what
its dasha will bring) Saturn is in the nakshatra of Venus, which
is in the 5th house if you use Virgo lagna.
Let's not forget also that one of FDR's children died in infancy,
which a debilitated 5th lord in the 8th house clearly shows
the potential for. However, we could argue all day about whether
this 5th house configuration is capable of producing 6 children
or not. It is the timing of when these 6 children were born
that contributes to my favoring Virgo lagna.
This timing is a follows:
Anna (1906) Saturn-Saturn
James (1907) Saturn-Saturn
Franklin Jr. (1909) Saturn-Mercury
Elliot (1910) Saturn-Mercury
Franklin Jr. (1914) Saturn-Venus
John (1916) Saturn-Sun
FDR started having children only in his Saturn period, not in
the previous Jupiter period, that would be the 5th lord for
Simha lagna.
Moreover, a late degree Simha (Leo) lagna would give an Aquarius
saptamsha lagna, which would put Saturn (the dasha that produced
his children) in the 6th house of that varga. An early degree
Virgo lagna puts Saturn in the 5th house of D-7 (saptamsha).

Then look at sub-periods. All of them are sambhanda (connected)
with either Saturn, the 5th lord if you use Virgo, or Capricorn,
the 5th house if you use Virgo.
Saturn-Saturn: The period and sub-period of the 5th lord from
Virgo
Saturn-Mercury: Mercury is disposited by the 5th lord from Virgo
Saturn-Venus: Venus is in the 5th house, Capricorn, from Virgo
Saturn-Sun: Sun is in the 5th house from Virgo
If I use Leo lagna I would be hard pressed to explain this timing
of the birth of his children.
If you cross-check this timing in Chara dasha, his first four
children were born in Capricorn (1903 to 1912), the 5th house
from Capricorn and containing the PK Venus (if seven karakas
are used).
You can check it using a third dasha, like Yogini, and see that
he first started having children in Venus, which goes into the
5th house from Virgo. This timing, and that of many other life
events compared to a late degree Simha (Leo) lagna and its vargas,
convinced me that Virgo is correct.
