PREFACE
FACETS OF MARRIAGE & 7th HOUSE

‘jyotishaam suryaadi grahanam bodhaka shastram’
The knowledge and effect of planets is what jyotisha shastra
is all about.
If planets are forces then houses are the fields for those
forces to operate upon.
Each part of the zodiac is a solar mansion better called as
sign or raashi. All the 12 rashis are classified in 4 groups or
triplicities according to 4 elememts-
Fire element corresponds with spiritual processes in man.
Earth element corresponds with physical processes.
Air element corresponds with mental processes.
Water element corresponds with psychic processes.
Libra the 7th house of the zodiac, is an airy, odd, positive
and masculine sign and thus tends to be more expressive and
not passive in reactions. Libra also shows commencement of
southern hemisphere. It is also equinoctial sign. The end of virgo
and beginning of libra cause day and night equal all over the
world. This phenomenon occurs twice in a year. When Sun shifts
to aries and when Sun shifts to libra.
We know aries is lagna in kaalpurusha horoscope and
natural 7th house is libra. When aries denotes fire elememt we
know that birth is a spiritual phenomenon and embodiment of
the soul. The 7th house libra is having air element and is thus
connected with mental phenomenon.
xii Facets of Marriage & the 7th House
Thus natural 7th house libra and 7th lord Venus have a say
in marital matters and rather all matters denoted by 7th house.
As all of us know that 7th house from any house is the
completion house for that very house. When we say ascendant
is the physical self, the embodiment of the soul, it is very natural
to assume that 7th is the house of physical union. So, rightly we
connect marriage with 7 th house. Moreso, the sense of
completeness is justified when ‘shatpatha brahamana’ says, ’one
is incomplete without having a wife and a son’.
About 7th house and it’s linkage with marriage has been
discussed in our texts like mantres‘wara has described in
chapter 10 of Phaladeepika, parashara has described about 7th
house and marriage in ‘chapter 18 of Brihat parashara hora
shastra’ and many a number of texts like jataka sara dipa, Sanketa
nidhi, Saravali etc. Have discussed the 7th house, 7th lord and
Venus’s placement and effects in all the houses and how Venus
and 7th lord behaves regarding marriage and also the dual
lordship of 7th house lord and it’s mitigated effects regarding
marital matters.
Even sage jaimini, has called the 7th house pada or arudha
as ‘dara pada’(when dara stands to denote the spouse.) Also in
char karakas the 7th karaka with least longitude is called as dara
karaka which is identical with the 7th house lord while predicting
marital matters through jaimini system. Also in jaimini astrology,
7th house from lagna, pada lagna, dara pada, karkamsa lagna,
darakaraka etc. Are considered to predict about the physical
health, beauty and intellect of the spouse, and to know the
quality and life of married life. This thing justifies that 7th house
holds primary importance in marital matters.
Now, the point arises here why do we consider only 7th
house for marital matters when we know that ‘kaama triplicity’
houses are 3, 7, 11 houses and in kaalpurush horoscope, 3, 7,
11 signs i.e. Gemini, libra, aquarius are air signs and air signs
are connected with mind and mental experiences. 7th is most
important house of kaama trikone there are two reasons for this.
Preface xiii
As 7thh is a kendra house and thus shows more practicality

of affairs. That is how, practical relationships and involvements
are seen through 7th house
7th house has a lot more to say and we can better understand
it by the concept of purusha and prakriti. As in Hindu philosophy
of life, the process of manifestation of ethereal soul into material
body is caused by the interaction between purusha and prakriti.
Astrologically saying, lagna shows purusha shakti, and 7th
denotes prakriti. If lagna is the vital force then 7th is dissipation
of the same. If lagna is the physical media, 7th has to indicate
the physical union and the purpose is procreation.
In indian classical thoughts, marriage was deemed not as a
mere compromise for setting up a new family, but it was one of
the main steps in ‘shodasha samskaras’. The need and purpose
of marriage in india has been different and special and it’s
profundity was acknowledged with distnict spiritual attributes.
Manusmriti also gave three purposes of marriage.
1. Performing religious rituals
2. Having male progenies
3. Gratification of carnal urges.
It is noteworthy here that religious rituals have been
accorded first place and sexual gratification comes last in
importance. The reproduction purpose in marriage was a must
in ancient india. Only after attaining a son, one is deemed
qualified for attainment of emancipation (liberated soul).
In another reference in a mantra of Atharvaveda, the groom
tells his wife, ’ I have married you with the sole desire to have
virtuous progenies. Let us work togeather in this direction and
live for hundred years.’ this confirms how procreation part had
been taken as essential aspect in marriage.
If srishti lagna is aries, then it is but natural that libra has
to be the setting sign of cosmic energy. Similarly, in every
horoscope, lagna is rise of a birth and thus 7th house is setting
of one’s life into eternal cycles of rebirths.
xiv Facets of Marriage & the 7th House
If we take the classical references uttara kalamrita (chapter

4 verse 20 says—
‘yaddyadbhavadhan ———————————————
——————————————————- bandhaka:’
‘tadraandhare ——————————————————
—————————————————- kramaat:|| 20||
It has been clearly mentioned in the above sloka that the
owners of 2nd and 7th houses act as strong marakas(destroyers)
to the native.
Vamanapurana confirms that lord shiva is identifiable with
kaala purusha. Shiva is absolute cosmic current and parvati is
his creative energy i.e. Maaya. According to tantra shastra, shiva
without shakthi is shava(a corpse). So when lagna is the
reservoir of prana shakthi then 7th is field of activity. If lagna is
beejam then 7th is the kshetram. While discussing the progeny
aspect of any human being we calculate the beeja sphuta
(virility) in man to ascertain the reproductive strength in him
and we determine the kshetra sphuta to find out wheather the
woman is capable and fertile for procreation. This is because
we believe that ascendant denotes purusha shakthi and 7th
house denotes capabilities and fertility. In vaster terms, life’
force is lagna and usage of that force and it’s outcome depends
on 7th house in a horoscope. In a way, 7th is the house of
utilization of one’s energy in different directions of life.
However uttara kalamrita of kalidas in chapter 5,
‘karakakhanda’ has described multiple katkattwas of 7th house.
Sloka ||12|| and ||13||, say—
Udvaha vyabhichaar ————————————————
————————————- chourya vadetsaptamaata:||
Means as many as 37 things are to be judged from 7th house
like possession of clothes, commerce or trade, chewing beetal
leaves, having perfumes, food with cereals and ghee, break in
Preface xv
travels, marriage, loose sex life and a lot more. All other classical
texts like ‘LAGHU JATAKAM’, ‘BRIHAD YAVANA JATAKA, ’
‘SARVARTHA CHINTAMANI’, BHAVA PRAKAS`A etc., relate 7th
house mainly with marriage and spouse and also additional
related matters like trade, open enemies, public image, passions
and pride, matters of coming and going, urinary tract etc.
Also acc. To theory of bhavat bhavam, 7th house is a powerful
house from almost all important houses like it is 5th from 3rd
house and 3rd from 5th, it is 9th from 11th house and 11th from
9th, 7th is also strong kendra as it is 4th from 4th and 10th from
10th house. This is how, 7th houses denotes all important matters
like, marriage, practical involvements, open enemy or
competitors, social image, social interactions, professional
distinctions, and fructification of desires.
However the positivity or negativity of these areas is
indicated by planetary influences on 7th house in individual
horoscopes.
Finally, if we take a broader viewpoint, artha stands for
material prosperity and kaama shows material satisfaction.
Artha and kaama triplicities form preyas which work in the
direction of shreyas (dharma and moksha triplicities) i.e. the
spiritual summit.
‘Dharma trikona’ is for regularization of artha and kaama
in such a manner that we are led towards moksha which is
ultimate goal of life.
Our vedas which are fountain head of knowledge are the
means to acquire happiness or preyas and shreyas. While preyas
is the temporal happiness and shreyas is eternal happiness
through gnana which is removal of avidya. Understanding it all
in a wider perspective is the whole point in it.

Literary Evidence About

Marriage
a) Antiquity of astrology and reference of marriage

a) Antiquity of astrology and reference of

marriage
As jyotisha is the study of planetary movements and
terrestrial happenings. Astrology is the study of connections
with what goes on the earth and the celestial bodies. It connects
the macrocosm with microcosm and helps us understand the
unity of all creation. Jyotisha is known as the knowledge which
explained planetary motions and positions and time (kaal) and
their effect on all. The effect on all human beings is studied and
analysed through jyotisha shastram. Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury,
Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Nodes (Rahu/Ketu) are navgrahas and
endless movements of these navgrahas in the sky establishes
linkage with all human life and activity. In sanskrit, it is called
Hora Shastram meaning the science that treats time. It is known
as divine science, jyotisha means science of light. Light is
radiation and so jyotisha is the study of planetary radiation and
it’s connection with terrestrial affairs.
Vedic period – (from unknown antiquity – 8350 B. C.)

Astrology was born in india discovered by vedic sages. It’s
a vedanga and is based on intimate understanding of the
2 Facets of Marriage & the 7th House
correlation between planetary motions and terrestrial

happenings.
Each of the vedic text about astrology was meant primarily
to select auspicious and favourable points of time for sacrifices
or yajnas. Vedas are anaadi without any discernible beginning.
These vedas contain all the knowledge and astrology (jyothisha)
being a vedanga is most authentic subject.
It took thousands of years of empirical observation and
studies, before the sages formulated various slokas and suktas.
We have been handed over records of astrological slokas of vedic
period as part of heritage.
REFERENCE FROM ATHARVAVEDA-

Atharvaveda jyotisha is said to be later to Rgveda and
Yajurveda. It actually foreshadows the later agama and tantra
literature. Although main theme of Atharvaveda is about
handling sorcery, witchcraft, diseseas and psychological
problems still it remains one of the richest heritages
representing mundane, secular, intellectual aspects of life in
ancient india. In Atharva veda, there are also hymns connected
with routine domestic life and social rites of marriage, funeral
election of king etc. In another reference in a mantra of
atharvaveda, the groom tells his wife, ‘I have married you with
the sole desire to have virtuous progenies. Let us work togeather
in this direction and live for hundred years. ’ this confirms how
procreation part had been taken as essential aspect in marriage.
Atharva veda jyothisha consists of 14 chapters, and 162
verses in the form of discourses by Rishi Kashyap. Predictive
astrology is covered in last 62 verses.
As we know that 7th house from any house is the completion
house for that very house. When we say ascendant is the
physical self, the embodiment of the soul, it is very natural to
assume that 7th is the house of physical union. So, rightly we
connect marriage with 7 th house. Moreso, the sense of
completeness is justified when ‘Shatpatha Brahamana’ says-
Chapter 1: Literary Evidence About Marriage 3
’One is incomplete without having a wife and a son’.

Taking a broader viewpoint, Artha stands for material
prosperity and Kaama shows material satisfaction. Artha and
kaama triplicities form preyas which work in the direction of
shreyas (dharma and moksha triplicities) i. e. The spiritual
summit. ‘Dharma trikona’ is for regularization of artha and
kaama in such a manner that we are led towards moksha which
is ultimate goal of life.
Our vedas which are fountain head of knowledge are the
means to acquire happiness that is Preyas and Shreyas. While
Preyas is the temporal happiness and Shreyas is eternal
happiness through gnana which is removal of avidya.
Understanding it all in a wider perspective is the whole point in
it.
PURANIC PERIOD-
After vedic period comes the-
Puranic period (8300 B. C. – 3000 B. C.)
Ramayana (upto 5000 B. C.)
Mahabharat (5000- 3000 B. C.)
In this period there were 18 pravartakas who improved
astrological knowledge and spread it worldwide. List of 18
pravartakas include most important names of sages who have
given a hoard of information about marriage and predictive
astrology in their respective works. The list includes, SURYA,
ATTRI, NARADA, MANU, PAULISHA, YAVANA, PITAMAHA,
PARASHAR, GARGA, ANGIRA, CHYAVANA, BHRIGU, VASHISHTA,
KASHYAPA, MARICHA, LOMASHA, VYAS, & SHAUNAK.
Mathematical and astronomy was written during this time.
There were two parts of astrology Hora (natal astrology) and
Samhitas (mundane and meterological astrology)
In indian classical thoughts, marriage was deemed not as a
mere compromise for setting up a new family, but it was one of
the main steps in ‘Shodasha Samskaras’. The need and purpose

of marriage in india has been different and special and it’s
profundity was acknowledged with distinct spiritual attributes.
In ancient indian tradition, marriage is a sacrament and the
sanctity attached to the marriage has been clearly brought out
in the ramayana by the manner in which the divine couple
conducted themselves, both in prosperity and in adversity
Manusmriti also gave three purposes of marriage.
It is noteworthy here that religious rituals have been
accorded first place and sexual gratification comes last in
importance. The reproduction purpose in marriage was a must
in ancient india. Only after attaining a son, one is deemed
qualified for attainment of emancipation (liberated soul).
Manusmriti had documented eight different types of
marriages in ancient india.
“brahmo devastathe ————————————————
——————————— paishachashvaashtamodham”
These eight marriage types are :
1. BRAHMA- The father or guardian gave away his daughter,
“decked with costly garments and jewels” to a carefully
chosen bridegroom well versed in the vedas and endowed
with noble qualities
2. DAIVA- Daugher “duly decked with ornaments”, was given
in gratitude to a priest for performing some important
worship rituals. This was extremely rare
3. ARSHA- Bride’s father received a gift of milk cow and a
breeding bull from the bridegroom. This was not considered
dowry, but a token of respect.
4. PRAJAPATYA- Bride’s father gives away his daughter after

blessing the couple with the text - “May both of you perform
together your duties.”.
5. GANDHARVA- Bridegroom and bride married secretly
without the knowledge of their parents. This was considered
inferior because it was caused by lustful impulses.
6. ASURA- Bridegroom voluntarily gave as much wealth as he
could afford to the bride’s relatives, not in accordance with
the injunctions of the scriptures because it was like buying
the bride, which was prohibited.
7. RAKSHASA- Woman was forcibly taken away from her
family and then persuaded to marry. This was considered
inferior because caused by lustful impulses.
8. PAISACHA- Person married a woman whom he had seduced
while she was asleep, intoxicated or insane, this was
prohibited.
Clearly, the brahma, daiva, arsha and prajapatya types were
considered ideal according to shastras. Gandharva and asura
type were rejectable and rakshasa and paishacha type were
condemed.
PARASHARI PERIOD- (3000 B. C. – 57 B. C.)

In this period, important vital works pertaining to astrology
were ‘Brihat parashara hora shastra’ by sage Parashar, Jaimini
astrology by sage Jaimini Garga samhita by Gargacharya and
Naadi astrology by sage satyacharya. Sage Parashara has been
considered as the foremost astrologer for kaliyuga which is
believed to have commenced from 3102 b. c. Parashar’s
monumental work BRIHAT PARASHARA HORA SHASTRA is a
backbone of vedic astrology and forms the base and essence of
all astrology imported to us. Parashara has described about 7th
house and marriage in ‘chapter 18 of ‘Brihat parashara hora
shastra’.
VARAHAMIHIR PERIOD- (57 B. C. – 1900 A. D.)

Important texts like Brihat jataka, Brihat samhita,
Panchsidhhantika, Daivagya vallabha, Sarvaartha chintaamani
and Chamatkaar chintamani and Jaataka alankar etc. were
products of this period.
Most detailed in natal predictive techniques and having
references about marriage in it were texts like –
Saaravali by Kalyan verma
Jaataka Paarijaata by Vaidyanath
Jaataka Bharana by Dhundhiraj
Phaldeepika by Mantreswara
Sanket Nidhi by Ramdayalu
Commentries on Brihat jaataka and Jaimini sutram by B.
Suryanarayan rao

Marriage in numerous cultures has many common symbols,
and functions. The veiled bride, the throwing of rice or akshata
to bless, the giving of symbols that externally show that they
are married - rings, mangal sutra, the feeding of sweets to the
couple by each other etc. Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh. These
similarities establish greater links between the cultures, and all
of them having their origins in vedic culture. In the true meaning
of marriage it is a concentual partnership, for the mutual benefit
of the couple, the community, the nation and in total the world
is better off for their union. In all the cultures, basic concept is
same as the husband is the protector, and the wife is the
protected one, in turn protects husband by her fortitude of
religious principles. This is why in spiritual circles she is
respectfully referred to as dharmapatni, meaning one who is
strong in helping the husband uphold cultural, religious, and
righteous principles which form the integral base of a god
centred society.

Role of Libra Sign as 7th House

of the Zodiac
a) About Libra
b) Libra as natural 7th house ruling marriage
a) About Libra –
Libra, the natural 7th house of the zodiac, and it’s ruler Venus
both stand for our criterion for making choices and creating a
balance with in ourselves. Tula, literally means scale and it comes
from the latin “librum” or the scales, meaning balance. It refers
to the seventh sign of the zodiac.
LIBRA AS DESCRIBED IN B. P. H. S. –CH. -4, SLOKAS 15-

16. –
Libra is a seershodaya sign/rasi, rising with its head. Libra
is strong in daytime and is predominant with rajo-gun. It relates
to the western direction and resorts to land. It is destructive, or
mischievous (dhatin). It represents sudras, or the 4th varna. It
has a medium build physique and is a biped rasi. Its lord is Venus.
When time god (kaalpurusha) is referreed to in
understanding Hindu astrology, Libra is 7 th house of
kaalapurusha. The circle of space surrounding the earth, and
measuring 360 degrees of celestial longitude is referred to as
zodiac. It is an imaginary belt in the heavens.
Zodiac is divided into 12 equal parts.

Aries —— Pisces
Aries as commencement and Pisces as culminatary sign.
Each of these 12 parts of zodiac, is a solar mansion otherwise
called a sign or a rashi and each extends to exactly 30 degrees.
Each sign has derived it’s name from it’s resemblance to the
group of constellations found in and around the zodiac.
Since my aim is to write about 7th house only I will take up
points concerning Libra sign only that is 7th house of the natural
zodiac.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SIGNS

Signs from Aries onwards are alternatively positive and
negative sign commonly called odd and even signs and also called
masculine /feminine or day/night signs. Libra being and odd,
positive and masculine sign denotes chacteristics of positive
signs in general. All positive signs show an assertive, bold,
expressive, and active and somewhat offensive nature. They
stand for determination, power of will and force. All odd and
positive signs tend to be more expressive and less positive in
reactions.
Libra shows commencement of southern hemisphere. As
first to sixth sign of the Zodiac constitute northern hemisphere
being towards the north of Celestial Equator. [Aries to Virgo]
Next 6 signs from Libra to Pisces are towards south of Celestial
Equator thus form Southern hemisphere and Libra being 7th
sign and 7th house of the Zodiac commences the southern
hemisphere.
Chapter 2: Role of Libra Sign as 7th House of the Zodiac 9
LIBRA AS EQUINOCTIAL SIGN-

Equinox means day and night equal when Sun is on the
intersecting point of the celestial equator and the ecliptic where
Aries commences and Pisces ends.
Similarly end of Virgo and beginning of Libra cause day and
night equal all over the world. This phenomenon occurs only
twice in one year when Sun shifts to Aries and Libra respectively.
LIBRA AS SIGN OF AIR ELEMENT-

All 12 signs of the zodiac are classified into 4 groups or
triplicities acc. To four elements which are- Fire, Earth, Air &
Water corresponding to Spirit, Body, Mind and Soul respectively.
Fiery signs — spiritual processesin man
Earthy signs — physical processes in man
Airy signs — mental processes in man
Watery signs — psychic processes in man
As we know airy signs are 3, 7, 11th [Gemini, Libra and
Aquarious]
Air signs are distinctly connected with mind and mental
experiences.
These air signs indicate less vitality, if well connected they
show, cheerful, gentle, amiable, courteous, sympathethetic,
refined and humane nature.
These airy signs offer good intellect, fertile imagination and
idealistic and artistic nature, well informed temperament.
The mind is cultured, musical, inquisitive, fond of reasoning
and they create humans who are generally well behaved and
level headed.
QUALITY OF SIGN LIBRA IS MOVEABLE-

As zodiac is divided into three categories of quality in signs,
moveable, fixed and common.
Moveable signs [1, 4, 7, 10th rashis]
Show rajo guna and show activity in life
Fixed signs show tamo guna [constancy]
Mutable show sattav guna [rhythm]
Libra as semi fruitful sign –
In predictive astrology, Tauras,
Libra, Capricorn, Saggittarius are known to semifruitful
signs.
Libra as voice sign – Gemini, Libra and Aquarious being air
signs also stand for musical / voice signs.
Libra as sign of long ascension-
In southern hemisphere, Libra, scrpio and saggittarius take
longer time in ascension.
b) Libra as natural 7th house ruling marriage–

Understanding the qualities and traits of Libra are of utmost
utility in understanding the 7th house in any chart as Libra
represents universal 7th house. On the wheel of the zodiac, in
kaalpurusha’s horoscope - Libra (natural 7th house) is the first
time that the individual soul chooses to come in togetherness
with another soul for the purpose of committing themselves to
a partnership. Libra is best known as the sign of marriage and
partnership and denotes the contract to join two people together
for a common, consented purpose.
Libra is the first sign of the “not-self, “the complementary
opposite of Aries representative of I feeling and Libra is
represented by the scales of balance, symbol of legal justice. The
Chapter 2: Role of Libra Sign as 7th House of the Zodiac 11
scales are the only inanimate object used as a zodiacal symbol.

As the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra is the balance between
the individual and society where 1st house represents individual
soul and 7th represents the others with whom the individual
jeeva communicates with and gets experience from. The sign
Libra represents these partners whom we have chosen to be in
our lives. So Libra, the 7th house speaks about choices, balance,
and weighing our options.
Philosophically speaking, Libra represents the seventh stage
in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. The first
six signs of natural zodiac or we can say first six houses of any
horoscope, stands for individual’s attention and working
inwardly to understand and develop his individuality and
personal uplift. The other six signs from Libra onwards
represent the jeeva’s attention turned outward to humanity as
a whole. Libra is not merely the sign of individual partnership,
rather it is the sign of other people and dealing with others in
general and in broad sense dealing with society as a whole and
finding his/her place in the society is indicated by Libra and
planetary influences on Libra sign and the 7th house of the
horoscope. The commencement of non material/non physical
journey and intellectual progress of the soul is through Libra/
the 7th house of the horoscope.
Chapter 3
About Venus
(Fourfold approach)
b) The signification, association and aspects with other planets
c) Placement of Venus in all Signs (as in texts and my
viewpoint)
d) Placement of Venus in 12 houses (as in texts and my
viewpoint)
The planet Venus in any birth chart, will be in one of the
twelve signs of the zodiac, but will never be more than two signs
away from the sign of the Sun in their birth chart, because Venus
is so close to the Sun and never appears very far away when we
observe it from earth. Venus takes an average of one month to
travel through a sign. In ancient mythology, Venus is the roman
goddess associated with feminine traits, receptivity and deal of
love and beauty and so does the greek goddess aphrodite.
While judging the planet in astro studies, named after Venus,
it is associated with.
• The capacity to love and expression of feeling of love and
affection to others,
• The ability for attracting love and loved ones.
• The capacity and wisdom to enjoy all kinds of relationships.
Chapter 3: About Venus (Fourfold approach) 13
• The art of creativity. the ability to create expression in the

inner concept of love and beauty.
• The planet Venus concerns with the ideal of inner desires
and all feminine traits and. Image of feminine excellence/
idealism embedded in one’s inner psyche.
Since Venus stands for “receptivity” by all ways so in nut
shell Venus concerns with the quest to attain and find the above
said traits in ideal partner and thus trying to be in harmony in
relationships
Venus, representing love, sensuality, romance, beauty,
culture, affection and one’s social appeal in a horoscope, rules
both taurus and Libra, the 2nd and 7th houses in kaalpurusha
horoscope. Its placement in our chart provides insight into what
we are attracted to and what is attracted to us. In any natal chart,
Venus placement sign defines what is one’s inner quest in
matters of love, beauty and relationships and how the native
will meet with his/her requirements or denied the things he/
she is looking for.
Venus having say in the zodiac in two ways.
Two elements, Earth and Air out of four- Fire, Earth, Air
and Water
Venus has role in earthy and airy element as the “ruler” of
Taurus and Libra respectively.
&
Role in two triplicities of Artha and Kaama out of four -
Dharma, Artha, Kaama & Moksha.
ARTHA TRIPLICITY WITH LORDSHIP OVER TAURAS-

Through Taurus, Venus can best expresses her physical
sensuality and her desire for physical sensations and physical
pleasures through the five senses. Venus in Taurus always seeks
physical “comfort” too. Venus in Taurus usually indicates a
temperament that is naturally “sensual” and who expresses
affection in physical terms and who appreciates food and music

and all the “physical” pleasures more than most people do.
Physical attractiveness will be important to this person, and
their voice is usually attractive, perhaps “seductive”. This person
will likely be seen as “sensual” or “earthy” or natural in some
way, and be comfortable to a partner in a relationship. Taurus is
an ‘earth sign’, which is why Venus in Taurus expresses herself
more through the “physical” - feeling through the body and its
five physical senses - and thus is more “physical” than
“intellectual” in her appreciation for love and romance and
beauty. Through Taurus, Venus can best expresses it’s material
desires and by being placed in Tauras it indicates the epogee of
material gains and love is represented in physical form through
five senses.
KAAMA TRIPLICITY WITH LORDSHIP OVER LIBRA.

While Venus rules Libra, as it does Taurus. The Venus of
taurus is, the sensuous, sensual, voluptuous goddess of the
pleasures of the five physical senses. The Venus of Libra comes
more in the expression of intellectual balance and harmony
which is the essence of “beauty” in art, music, poetry, and the
human form. While in Tauras Venus acts in more physical in
appreciation for love and romance and beauty, and in the Libra
Venus acts more through the “mind” - thinking and
communicating - and is thus more “mental” than “physical” of
her.
Venus in Libra bestows remarkable personality which
makes it easy to pursue relationships, and creating harmony in
relations of all types. “Beauty” in all forms is always important
to Venus in Libra and native having Venus in Libra makes him/
her a charmer, a great romantic who knows the art of wooing
others. Since Libra deals with personal dealings and not the
material ones, Venus in this sign enhances the capacity to
intellectually as well as romantically enriching the relationship.
Having Venus in Libra means that you are forever young at heart
and open to love. Someone who is compassionate and there for

their lover and who understands the value of both physical level
attraction as well as attraction at the mental plane.
b) The signification, association and aspects

with other planets
Significator or karaka is of great importance in accessing
any birth chart.
Venus being lord of Libra sign [the natural 7th house] thus
holds maximum importance in asserting effects regarding marial
affairs.
Somehow, very many factors are involved with Venus.
Phaladeepika in chapter 2 Graha Bheda in verse 6 which
discusses about Venus and it’s karkattwas as
‘Sampadvahanvastrabhushana ———————————
——————————— bhragujadudwaha karmotsvam”
Meaning-
All about one’s wealth, conveyances, clothes, ornaments,
treasures (including hidden ones) amalgam of long dense and
instrumental music, scents, flowers, co habitation, bed, house,
richness, poetry, comforts and luxury, marriage and other holy
deeds, celebrations should be ascertained through Venus. In a
male horoscope, marital happiness is to be considered through
Venus and Venus is as such significator of wife in a man’s
horoscope.
KARKATTWAS OF VENUS IN UTTARA KALAMRITA-

In verses 42 to 45 of ch. 5, Karaka khanda, there is given
vast description about Venus and it’s signification in various

VENUS ASPECTED / ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER

PLANETS-
The effects of Venus are modified if Venus is aspected by or
associated with any planet. Aspects are more powerful than
association as per the dictum
“Sthiterpekshayaa drishtiha khechraanaa baliyasi”
However the effects of planetary combinations of 2-6 planets
are given in Saaraavali [ch. 15 to 19] there are 120 combinations
in all.
Venus is associated with one or more planets in 62
combinations.
A study of these combinations is revealing in two planets
combination, Venus features in 6 out of 22 yogas.
In 3 planetary combination, Venus is involved in 15 out of
35 combinations.
In 4 planets yogas, Venus is involved in 20 out of 35
combinations.
In 5 planets yogas, Venus is involved in 16 out of 22
combinations.
In 6 planets yogas Venus is involved in 5 out of 7
combinations.
Further in saaraavali [ch. 15 — 19] results of Venus
combined with other planets is given.
Venus’s association with Moon, Mercury, Jupiter is deemed
good.
Venus’s association with Mars, Sun and Saturn is bad in
descending order.
These combinations are effective when only 2 planets
combine. In 3 planets combination, Venus gives good results in
7 cases.
All these combinations are really effective when

longitudinal difference between the associating planets is with
in 5 and relaxably with in 10 degrees in the same sign.
The closer the combination, more pronounced are the
results. The effects begin to decrease in their intensity thereafter
(above 5 deg.) and becomes nil when longitudinal difference
between associating planets exceeds their orbits (deeptamsha)
Orbital difference from planet to planet is-
Within 15 deg. for Sun, 12 deg. for Moon, 9 deg. for Jupiter
and Saturn, 8 deg. for Mars and 7 deg. for Mercury and Venus.
[However I have considered all aspects and conjunctions with
in range 10 deg. on either side.]
As Venus is most important planet in context with the topic
of marriage, I am discussing the five most vital texts with special
reference to Saaravali where Venus has been described in each
and every house and in every sign, sometimes with common
consensus and somewhere with the difference of opinions.
Many more aspects of Venus are discussed Jaataka tattwa’
(ch. - saptam viveka) regarding topic of marriage. Further in
chapter 3, Prakirna tattwa of saptam viveka, Sage Mahadev has
highlighted general effects of Venus in regard to marital matters.
Some important verses which explain some special features of
Venus are as follows-
Verse 72-
“jaayakaarkae ————————————— dwibhaarya”
If kalatrakaaraka Venus is associated with a malefic or in
depression or inimical or eclipsed, native will have two wives.
Verse 102 goes like- “swoche ———————sudaaraha”
Means if Venus is in exaltation or own varga or has attained
agopuramsa or another vaisheshikamsa, wife of the native shall
be charming and noble.
Verse-128 goes to say “kaarke ————————vivaaha”

Means if karaka Venus the natural 7th lord or lord of 7th
house of horoscope, is in a trine and with a malefic, native shall
be married at a far off place.
Verse 145 says-“dyuneshen —————bhaaryaa naasha”
Means if Venus is in 6th, 8th or 12th house, in association
with either lord of 7th or with lord of 2nd native shall lose as
many wives as much malefic afflict it.
Verse 151 says-“shashteshaadyo ————————vipat”
Means if lord of 6th lord and Venus are associated there is
danger to marital partner.
Verse 161 says-“shukraanmade ——————sukham naa”
If a malefic is in 7th house from Venus or Venus is associated
with a malefic the native shall know no marital happiness.
c) Placement of Venus in all signs (as in texts

and my viewpoint)
RESULT OF VENUS PLACED IN 12 SIGNS (AS IN THE
TEXTS)
I am considering most important text SAARAVALI here
which has given very much detail about each and every sign in
full chapter.

maintain his family members and be endowed with
knowledge.
MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT VENUS IN ALL SIGNS-
EXPRESSION OF VENUS PLACED IN ALL 12 SIGNS AND

FOUR TRIPLICITIES-
Placement of Venus in different signs will give variable
results. As we have understood Venus denotes the shakthi latent
in any native and how one is controlled by that maya and further
how that will affect the behavior pattern in relationships is
governed by quality of Venus. Venus is comfortably placed when
it is in artha and kaam triplicity signs that are 2, 6, 10 (with
exception of Virgo where it is debilitated and gives the native
craving/ hunger for materialism.) and 3, 7, 11th signs. For all
the lagnas belonging to signs of above said artha and kaama
trines, Venus will be natural as well as functional benefic. For
10 and 11th sign ascendant Venus shall be yogakaaraka too. Here
averagely well aspected well placed Venus in rashi and navamsa
chart can bestow pretty successful /rich life to the native.
Venus is not considered to be powerfull in 1, 5, 9 signs as
well as for dharma trine lagnas. Venus is ill placed and unable to
give real effect of it when placed in 4, 8, 12 signs or lagna sign is
from moksha triplicity that is 4, 8 and 12th sign. Native usually
goes through bad emotional phases and experiences as Venus
is acting as functional malefic. However results shall be
mitigated by other planetary influences by aspects and
dispositorships etc.
UNDERCURRENT OF TAURAS AND LIBRA IN OTHER

SIGNS -
If even Venus is located in one of the other signs, the natural
lordship of Venus over Tauras and Libra will give the capacity
to the native to expresses the natural tendencies of Venus
inherited from both the natural signs (Tauras and Libra)
through the natural significations of that very house and sign
where it is placed. For example, if Venus is placed in 7th house in
any sign except Tauras and Libra, still native should be having
undercurrent of Taurean sensuous temperament and Libran
intellect in relationships. So there has to be strong desire to be
attracted to physically and intellectually and sensuous/material
/physical desires will rule the mind in search and pursual of
association with life mate. This undercurrent of Tauras and
Libra will inherently come with Venus wherever it is placed in
the horoscope.
Other planets in the sign of taurus or Libra will also express
their function with those same basic “strategies” of taurus or
Libra. The planet’s “purpose” or “goals” will be different,
depending on the natural traits & lordship of planet, but the
“means”or”methods” by which that planet’s function is ignited
is through basic energies of sign Tauras or Libra Planet placed
in Tauras or in Libra will certainly exert it’s potential to make
Venusian expression with undercurrent of taurean or Libran
qualities to meet with the requirement of the house that
particular planet is placed in. For example, if Moon is placed in
7th house in Tauras where it is in exaltation state too, one should
easily understand that Moon governor of mind is having
undercurrent of taurean sensuous temperament in
relationships. Similarly it should be applied to all the planets
placed in Tauras and Libra.
d) Placement of Venus in 12 houses (as in texts

and my viewpoint)
DISCUSSION OF EXPLANATION OF VENUS IN VITAL
TEXTS -
Kalyan verma the author of great text SARAAVALI, in ch-
30 on planets in bhavas has explained Venus behaving differently
in all 12 houses.
Other vital text like PHALADEEPIKA of Mantreswar has also
explained in the chapter 8, heading “Effects of planets in different
houses.” Effect of Venus is disclosed in all 12 houses precisely
in verse 17-19 only. Third very important text I am referring to
is ‘HORA SAARA’ of prithuyasas (son of varahhamihira). Here
in chapter 21, there is atha shukrabhaava phalaani verse 33 to
38 refer to Venus as in 12 houses one by one.
These three texts hold authenticity in the field of astrology
and thus I have chosen to compare and contrast and comment
on these.
Somewhere these three authors are in consensus in
prediction of Venus somewhere they are differing and let us
see how much a student of astrology gets the idea about Venus
by it’s location in different houses and how much has to be
worked out in new perspective to really know the role of Venus
in various sectors of our life as depicted through 12 houses of
the horoscope.
Results about marriage matters shall be however overall
mitigated by other factors affecting Venus and 7th house/lord
from lagna, and Moon lagna and navamsa lagna as well.
Results of Venus also shall be variable and effect in all 12
houses will be altered by the factors given below.
- Placement of Venus in various signs
- Lordship of Venus
- Dispositor of Venus and it’s mutual relation with it

- Quality of Venus changed through combustion or
retrogression
- Placement and quality of Venus in navamsa chart
- Other planetary influences on Venus
However, I am adding my humble comments, analysis and
viewpoint on placement of Venus in 12 houses.
EXPLANATION OF VENUS IN 1st HOUSE—

SARAVALI- CH- 30 VERSE 62 GOES TO SAY-
Venus is in ascendant, the native will possess beautiful eyes,
face and physique, be happy, long-lived, timid and attractive to
females.
PHALDEEPIKA CH. 8/VERSE17 SAYS-
If Venus be posited in lagna at birth, the native will have a
beautiful and attractive body and will be happy and long lived.
HORA -SAARA (CH. 21 VERSE 33) goes to explain-
Venus in lagna gives such beauty to native equal to
manmatha and also qualities. The native will be won by women
and be wealthy and versed.
MY PERSONAL ANALYSIS AND VIEWPOINT-
Although the general views of all leading authors of
authentic texts rightly believe Venus in lagna to be a bestower
of beauty.
I want to handle the planet and house both in a wider
perspective. As we know Venus rules two houses among two
triplicities. It owns Tauras sign that is 2nd house of kaalpurusha
horoscope from artha triplicity and also owns Libra the 7th house
of the natural chart belonging to kaama triplicity. Now placement
in lagna will indicate the tendencies of 2nd house and 7th house
amalgamating with natural force of lagna house.
Considerations of placement of Venus is to be analysed from
3 points in order of relevance.
IMPACT OF VENUS IN 1st HOUSE-

COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM 2nd HOUSE IN KAALPURUSHA
HOROSCOPE IDENTIFIABLE WITH TAURAS RULED BY
VENUS) -
As for Venus, the attributes and accumulations of Tauras
go naturally with, wherever Venus is placed in the horoscope, it
will give inner qualities/assets of Tauras to the house it is placed.
Here when Venus is placed in 1st house obviously the native
will have innate tendency to own all the material assests like
jewels and clothing, things of refinery. As the taurean tendency
is released through lagna house thus the fine and visible usage
of these assets shall be noticed in the personality of the native.
Native will be oversexed (as Tauras represents physical desires
of native) and by placement of Venus in lagna physical attributes
will be affected by taurean influence thus making the native
demanding in material as well as marital dealings.
COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM 7th HOUSE IN KAALPURUSHA
HOROSCOPE IDENTIFIABLE WITH LIBRA RULED BY VENUS)
-
As we have understood by now, that Venus being ruler of
Libra, has natural energies of 7th house matters as it is karaka
of 7th house too. Matters signified by 7th house of horoscope
naturally click with presence of Venus in lagna from where it
will be aspecting 7th house of natal chart. A person whose
purusha shakthi denoted by lagna is under influence of prakriti
that is maya and so the native is easily attracted towards
opposite gender and want to have marital bonding as early as
possible in life. His/her desire shall be curbed successfully or
meet with failures is an issue of further analysis based on other

planetary influences from other good /bad houses and quality
of Venus in rashi and navamsa chart.
COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM LAGNA HOUSE (THE PIVOTAL
HOUSE IN KAALPURUSHA HOROSCOPE DENOTING
PHYSICAL ENTITY OF NATIVE)
Now interpretation of lagna goes as – it is the house ruling
individual ego, self esteem and physical personality. Now Venus
will obviously affect these traits and thus outcome can be an
emotional person, with material orientation, rich and luxurious
living style. Physical attributes have beauty and attraction. Native
will be beautiful and attractive with radiant skin and will be
wise is social mannerism, easily attracted towards opposite sex
as from lagna it will aspect 7th house of his/her horoscope.
EXPLANATION OF VENUS IN 2nd HOUSE—

SARAVALI- ch- 30 verse 63 goes to say-
If Venus is in the 2nd, the native will enjoy abundant food,
drinks and wealth, will derive excellent pleasures, be endowed
with good speech and will amass great wealth.
PHALDEEPIKA ch. 8/verse17 says-
If Venus occupy the 2nd house at birth the native shall be a
poet, and will enjoy riches of various kinds.
HORA -SAARA (ch. 21 verse 33) goes to explain-
When Venus is in 2nd house, one will be conscientious,
wealthy, have cheerful face and be kind.
In all the above told quotes from texts, one thing is common
that is Venus is making one wealthy by placement in 2nd house.
Although it is correct but yet vague approach to handle vast/
multi dimensional impact of Venus.
IMPACT OF VENUS IN 2nd HOUSE-

HOROSCOPE IDENTIFIABLE WITH VENUS) -
Naturally Venus has ownership of 2nd house of possessions
in all forms. Thus clearly Venus is going to give all it’s innate
richness as if it is placed in own sign. Here it is in own bhava
bestowing additional facial beauty to the native or talent of sweet
and melodious voice and adding to the material assets of the
native.
Venus also owns Libra the 7th house of the natural chart
belonging to kaama triplicity. However Libran energy of Venus
is not very comfortable here. Yet Venusian energy will make the
native conversent with poetry specially romantic poetic talent
will come to fore and beauty will be a driving force behind his
relationships with opposite gender and matrimonial partners
too.
Now placement in 2nd house will indicate the tendencies of
2 house and 7 th house amalgamating with natural
nd
characteristics of 2nd house. Material matters and assets are

easily attained for sure and many a times got through marriage
and inheritance of the partner.
EXPLANATION OF VENUS IN 3rd HOUSE—

If Venus occupies the 3rd, the native will be happy, rich,
conquered by women, be vile, little enthusiastic and will be
bereft of luck.

If Venus be in 3rd house, at birth the native will be miserly,
unpopular, devoid of wealth, happiness and wife.
One will join base women for the sake of sensual pleasures
if Venus falls in 3rd house. He will not have wealth and luxuries.
As much of the negativity is spoken of by the above
mentioned texts, yet I don’t want to agree with the scholars.
Although 3rd is trishdaya and cadent house (showing maleficance
in general) but for Venus it is one house commencing the trio
of shakthi concept i. e. Icchha shakthi, kriya shakthi and gyan
shakthi.
IMPACT OF VENUS IN 3rd HOUSE-

COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM 2nd HOUSE (IN KAALPURUSHA
From 2nd house the natural tendencies of Venus will travel
to 3 which is again 2nd from 2nd house thus creating further
rd
additions to assets, family and talent and in every way this

position is extending one’s personalty in outer circle outside the
immediate family. The native having Venus in 3rd house will
carry traits of 2nd house denoting material richness and speech
power, skill set by birth and these traits shall be visible in the
social /family level interactions of the native. Such native will
be leading member of his clan and representative of his
immediate family members and can be excelling other relatives/
co borns in riches and wealth.
COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM 7th HOUSE (IN KAALPURUSHA
The Libra energy carried forward in 3rd house means Venus
going to 9th from 7th house. This is again a good combination as
Venus gives positive direction to the native which means he /

she will never have wrong partners to misguide him. The marital
mate of such a native will have good prowess and native will
gain through marriage with talented partner. The marital partner
shall be a true ally to the native as 3 rd house stands for
permanent allys/ fixed friends /relatives. Marriage can be in
close family or close friends’ circle which will add to further
prowess to native.
The 3rd house denotes very vital and basic ichha shakthi,
and this 3rd house is in resonance with Libran energy of Venus
naturally. Taurean energy is also positive in 3rd house as 3rd
house being 2nd from 2nd house. 3rd house also stands for
performing arts, thus Venus placed here can work wonderfully
in this area and can give profession/recognition in any of the
art forms which can bring fame and recognition to the native
and even the marital partner shall belong to these areas of
media/performing arts as Venus is naturally linked with
marriage matters. The ichha shakthi denoted by 3rd house will
meet with positive culmination and native will be constantly
desiring for wealth in all material and intellectual and sexual
energy form and all his/her passionate endeavours will most
likely to meet with success and add to his power /prowess.
EXPLANATION OF VENUS IN 4th HOUSE—

If Venus occupies the 4th, the native will be endowed with
relatives, friends and happiness, be splendourous, will have
conveyances and paraphernalia, be beautiful, rich and fortunate.

With Venus occupying 4th house, the person born, the native
will be endowed with good conveyances, a decent house,
ornaments, clothes and scents.
If the planet Venus is in 4th house, one will be happy and
tend to pardon others. He, the native will be kind and have wife
and sons.
Almost all authors rightly confirm that Venus in 4th house
will confer conveyances, riches and happiness to the native. I
want to extend this point further.
IMPACT OF VENUS IN 4th HOUSE-

4th house is 3rd from 2nd house which is naturally under
jurisdiction of Venus and 3 rd from any house shows
improvement in properties of that house thus Venus placed in
4th house will enrich the native by giving him properties/assests
in great measure. Venus having natural energy of Tauras will
certainly add to native’s assests and good home to live in as 4th
house stands for luxurious residence. Quality lifestyle and
luxuries are sure indication.
Another important factor is 4th house falls in 10th from 7th
house and Venus being carrier of 7th house matters can bring
success to matrimonial matters. As 4th house denotes the root
level identification of someone and thus indicative of the native’s
inheritance and dynasty. Venus with natural energy of Libra the
7th house, strongly hints at the marriage which affects the whole
dynasty and lineage of the native. The social reputation will be
upgraded by marriage unless the Venus in 4th is very afflicted
or combust etc.
PHYSICAL ENTITY OF NATIVE) -
Venus being natural owner of material assets and sexual /
matrimonial affairs so it’s placement in 4th house (sukh sthaan)
has to give auspicious results.
The 4th house also rules domestic affairs and dynasty/
lineage and thus Venus here will give a traditional wedding and
expansion of clan can be easily predicted. Riches are also
confirmed when a natural benefic like Venus is well placed in
4th house of vehicles and comforts/luxuries.

- If Venus is posited in the 5th, the native will be endowed
with happiness, sons and friends, be fond of sexual union,
be very affluent, full of everything and be a minister, or a
justice.
- When Venus be in 5th house at birth the native will be
endowed with wealth and will be as influential and
renowned as a king. He will be learned and will also be
blessed with happiness of children.
Should Venus be in the 5th house, one will be a king’s
minister or a leader. He will have female issues and be learned.

The results in 5th house contain all good factors and rightly
predicted in every text. I am just trying to elaborate the basic
indications in the light of logic.

4th from 2nd house thus overall auspicious results are noted
by placement of Venus which represents goddesss lakshmi in
Hindu astrology. From natural 2nd house Venus is now placed in
Kendra thus creating urges and quests about learning as 2nd
house signifies bent of mind and capacity to learn. As Venus is
karaka for all type of arts and refinery, efforting at emotional
level for hobbies ruled by Venus will be clearly visible in the
native’s temperament. This is how we can understand why
Venus in 5th house makes the native pursue all arts and theatrical
acts, and if connected with 10th house or lagna native can make
it a profession too. Just placement in 5th speaks of artistic talent
of the native.
5 th house being 11 th from natural 7 th house, overall
auspicious results are noted by placement of Venus which
represents goddesss lakshmi in hindu astrology. Venus in 5th with
Libra energy is a sure indicator of love marriage if other factors
support or at least don’t deny it. Strong undercurrent of feeling
of love works as a tool to success and commitment in marriage.
Usually people have strong attachments even with societies,
clubs, and are sociable and hold important position in social/
entertainment organizations etc. The reason for being sociable
is that Libra ‘s intellectual and socially active approach will show
up in 11th from 7th house and 11th is house of friends/society/
clubs etc. Even averagely good Venus in 5th house will show good
results pertaining to matters of emotional strength and social

esteem.
Looking towards natural 5 th house traits we get all
beneficence associating wealth and progeny and learning
capacities. 5th house is also called lakshmi sthaan and thus Venus
who is natural lord of wealth will surely bestow wealth in form
of material assets as well as Venus will indicate a special
attraction and feeling of love towards marital bond and partner.
5th is also known as purva punya house to rule karmic linkages
and debts and thus Venus the ruler of all emotions and
relationships will certainly persuade the native to go for love
marriages and quality of Venus will decide the real outcome of
such marriages. Afflicted Venus or weak/ combust Venus can
mar the otherwise spectacular happy and healthy wealthy
relationship denoted by strong Venus in 5th house. 5th house is
vulnerable as karmic result is depicted from this house.
Fructification of good karma is usually indicated by auspicious
and benefic Venus in 5th house. If Venus is really bad/afflicted /
combust or is functional malefic then results can be emotionally
challenging. Overall Venus in 5th speaks of enough purva punya
earned from previous lives and this karmic baggage holds much
goodness for this life of the native.

- If Venus occupies the 6th, the native will greatly dislike his
wife, will have many foes, be devoid of wealth, be very much
startled and be mean.
- With Venus posited in the 6th house at birth, the native will
have no enemies but he will be devoid of wealth. He will
develop illicit relations with several young girls, but will not
enjoy happiness.
HORA -SAARA (CH. 21 VERSE 35) GOES TO EXPLAIN-
- In the 6th house, Venus makes one without enemies, be of
cunning disposition and sickly. He will also lose his wealth
and sons.
The authors of above told texts however opine that Venus
th
in 6 makes one devoid of money but I want to differ regarding
this point. Although when these authors depict illicit relations
and unhappy marriage that I feel is justifiable.

Venus is 5th from 2nd house of wealth/possesstions. As we
have understood till now that trinal houses are complementary
houses thus Venus taking innately the qualities of 2nd house of
wealth and assets will not affect the material accumulation part
of the native’s life. Strong Venus is not likely to deny money
although heavy debts and dealing with financial problems and
loans from banks etc. is for sure due to affliction to Venus if
Venus is combust/ weak in any way.
Regarding the Libran energy of Venus, it will most certainly
affect the emotional aspect of relationship. There can be such
marriages which are not socially approved and as such some
illicit relationships can take over a healthy marital bond. This
will be because 6th house is 12th from 7th house and Venus has
natural energy of 7th house matters thus indicating losses
pertaining to marital dealings and extra marital affairs are not
ruled out. If otherwise the 7th house is ill aspected or Venus and
7th lord both are afflicted with other malefic planets results can
be devastating in matters of partnerships and marital bondings.
Venus being a significator for wealth placed in 6th house of
artha triplicity (ruling all material things and success) will not
logically deny wealth to the native. 6th house is also standing for
money as it is 10 th from 9 th house of horoscope. Most
importantly as 6th house from lagna is not a good house and
denotes, strifes, litigation and native pushes himself too hard
to prove himself. The emotional planet like Venus can not be
called well placed even if in exalted state sign wise. Logic behind
is the prime role of Venus in one’s life is to add to aesthetism/
beauty and love in one’s life through material assests and
through live partners and sharing through them. 6th house is
not for caring /sharing rather it is indicative of enemies and
debts/litigations etc. By no means Venus should be in a
comfortable position in 6th house and native has to suffer
emotional jerks, emotional wreckage when ever concerned
dasha will operate.
Results about marriage matters shall be however overall
mitigated by other factors affecting Venus and 7th house/lord
from lagna, and Moon lagna and navamsa lagna as well.

- If Venus occupies the 7th, the native will be very beautiful,
be happy with his wife, will enjoy great riches, be devoid of
quarrels and be fortunate.

- Should Venus be placed in 7th house at birth, the native will
enjoy the company of a faithful and beautiful wife and he
may lose his wife. He will be wealthy and will have intrigues
with bad women.
- Should Venus be in the 7th house, person will be infatuated
with passion, will hate his friends and will be close to chief
persons.
The honourable sages in the above texts are telling both
positive and negative influences of Venus in 7th house. The real
effect of karaka of 7th Venus in the 7th house only seems to be
lost somehow. Let me clarify applying my logical reasoning.

The aspect of riches/wealth and family denoted by natural
2nd house of natal chart shall be under pressure as 7th is 6th from
2nd house and thus this disposition will improve the wealth
chart but some kind of separation, strife and detachment from
immediate family is not ruled out as immediate family is seen
from 2nd house. Native having Venus in 7th house of his chart
can be oversexed as 2nd house will lend it the innate enregy to
learn and capacity to understand and so Venus is sexually
stimulating the native to learn all arts related with sex and sexual
/physical involvements with people of opposite gender. Being
6th from 2nd house is the 7th house and 6th denotes efforting and
working on something constantly and karkattwa of Venus as
well as the element of 7th house of the chart, both will persuade
the native in the direction of physical/non committal /
unapproved /casual relationships.

Venus being in house where it belongs to is of vital
importance. Venus has natural force of Libra the 7th house of
kaalpurusha thus making it a strong significator of marriage/
sexual matters. Obviously with presence of Venus in 7th house
of a natal chart the concerned native shall be driven by sexual
passion, beauty and seeks satiation of his/her urges which are
much bolder and stronger than in an average person. This above
average requirement of love and kaama shall make the native
be controlled or governed by his partners and a weak Venus
and a weak ascendant lord etc. will make the native vulnerable
enough to fall prey to advances of members of opposite sex.
Venus here is in 1st house from 7th and thus there is
emotionally buoyant force that will always get the native swayed
and he/she will be easily influenced and carried away by
emotional displays and matters of the heart.
However a very strong in own house or yogakaaraka Venus
th
in 7 house of horoscope creates maalavya yoga thus giving the
native capability to reach epogee of love and marriage will help
such a native to really achieve the desirous goal.
As Venus has natural sway over marriage /romantic
matters, it’s placement in 7th house only will naturally enhance
the impact of Venus and influence shall be strongly felt by the
native. Native shall be drawn towards marital alliances as early
as possible in life depending on conducive dasha periods. 7th
being a Kendra house, Venus shall be most actively working
towards satiation of all desires in romance/love and marriage.
Here Venus is falling in most active zone of horoscope and lot
of experience shall be through members of opposite sex and
the native having Venus in 7th will also have priority of marital
relationships and his/her whole personality will be greatly

influenced by his counterpart. Here role of Venus will be
dependent on other factors ruling the marriage aspect. Much
will depend on quality/affliction to Venus by other factors.

- If Venus is in the 8th, the native will be long-lived, will enjoy
incomparable happiness, be very rich, be equal to a king
and moment after moment will feel delighted.
- Venus posited in 8th house at birth, will make the native
wealthy, long lived and a landlord.
- If Venus be in 8th house, one will be of varied nature, sick,
will have wife and children and he (the native) will be
delighted.
The authors of all texts have mentioned a positive result of
Venus placed in 8th house. There is logic behind considering a
trika house giving good results through Venus. I would like to
explain the reasonable factors for beneficial aspects of Venus
depicted in 8th house
Considering natural traits of 2nd house identifiable with
Venus, 8th house becomes 7th from 2nd and thus becomes a
positive placement for Venus as family and wealth matters shall
be in 7th from 2nd house of natural zodiac. As 7th house from
any house denotes the completion of that house and 2nd house
we know stands for learning quests, speech and family and these
traits will improve as from 8th house the aspect is on 2nd house.
Thus the native can be conversent in some art form/theatre
etc., or some speech related talent is possible.
Considering the Libran energy of Venus, 8th house is is 2nd
from natural 7th house that is Libra. This again is a good
placement for Venus to give results pertaining to 7th house
matters. The sexual energy or the shakthi represented by 7th
house of zodiac is having it’s reserves in 8th house. Hence much
energized house is the 8th house giving the native a true
knowledge about all kinds of arts/ feelings as well as a fairly
good judgement of emotions and love /sex etc. This is positive
outcome when natural 7th house energy merges with 8th house
of deep analysis and research.
COUNTING OF HOUSE FROM LAGNA HOUSE (THE

PIVOTAL HOUSE IN KAALPURUSHA HOROSCOPE
DENOTING PHYSICAL ENTITY OF NATIVE) -
From third facet of analysis, the 8th from lagna stands for
inherited wealth and properties and wealth through partner’s
family. Thus result of Venus situated here will definitely add to
wealth of native which will not be self earned, rather likely to
be received as legacy. Venus in 8th house from lagna is a sure
indicator of inherited wealth gained through marriage as 8th
house itself gives inherited /unearned properties and further
it is 2nd from 7th house of marriage and 2nd house rules the assets
of partner.
Another factor of Venus being in 8 th house is about
emotional transformation as 8th from lagna is house of karmic
baggage and deals with burdens of life. Some kind of emotional
experiences will make a deep rooted churning with in native’s
unconscious mind and emotional maturity is the outcome.

If Venus occupies the 9th, the native will possess a spotless
and broad physique, be endowed with wealth, charitable, wife,
sexual pleasures and friendship and will honour gods, guests
and preceptors/elders.
- If Venus occupies the 9th house at birth, the native will draw
his fortune through the beneficience of the king. He will be
blessed with wife, sons and friends.
- Should Venus be strong in the 9th house, one will possess
wisdom, virtues, luxuries, wife and sons.
As 9th house is known to be lakshmi sthana so there is every
logic for Venus to give excellent results pertaining to fortune,
prosperity, honorable position in life. Let us see how the effect
goes from different angles.

Being 8th from 2nd the money and family house, Venus
denotes moving away from family and long journeys related with
marriage or pilgrimages with the husband/wife. As 8th house
is for storage of wealth and inheritance so some inherited status
/wealth/fortune through marriage is possible. As 9th is the house
of outcome of good karma done in past lives so 2nd house energy
(learning, wealth, family) will get amalgamated with house of
fortune to bring so much goodness and contentment in native’s
life.

Venus being strong carrier of all wealth, assests and sexual
energy/potential to get satiation in relationships confers every
goodness when well placed in 9th house. As 9th house is 3rd from
7th house so 7th house imports of Venus are enhanced as 3rd
denotes improvement to 7th house matters. 3rd from 7th also
speaks of physical strength of marriage partner and this is how
9th house denotes progeny in female horoscope too. By all ways,
Venusian energy carried from natural 7th house Libra bestows
the native with feeling of contentment in affairs of the heart
and pursual with life partner will be smooth sailing.
Considering from lagna, Venus resides in natural lakshmi
sthan obviously bestowing all good things, status and
benevolence of king (government or high authority in modern
terms) , abundant wealth and prosperity and happiness with
good fortune. As 9th house also stands to represent the result of
purva punyas conferring all the outcome of past karmas. So from
this angle too, Venus the most important benefic, placed here
will by all means bring all the goodness and fortune to the native
concerned. All the material wealth denoted by natural 2nd house
of Venus and all the sexual passion and intellectual drive of 7th
house swayed by Venus will give a positive anf benefic
culmination when Venus resides in 9th house from lagna.

- Should Venus occupy the 10th, the native will earn success
in litigations and will be endowed with happiness, sexual
unions, honour, wealth, fame and great wisdom.

- With Venus occupying the 10th house at birth, the native
will perform virtuous deeds. He will enjoy happiness from
friends, will be greatly honoured, will enjoy high reputation
and will attain a high status.
- In the 10th house, one will be dear to women, become a
king’s minister and will dig wells, tanks etc. for the public.

it is pretty obvious to say that a benefic in 10th house of
status and recognition will confer honour and success in general.
I would like to elaborate using some logics.

As 10th house denotes recognition in native’s life so Venus
here will surely give the fields related to Venus only like all art,
theatre, software industry etc. Now Venus being natural carrier
of 2nd house that is speech, family and material assests will
greatly prosper 10th house as it will be 9th from 2nd house. 2nd
house matters like learning capacity and quest and physical
charms of life all shall be bestowed in abundance to the native
so that he /she can pave his way towards being successful and
reputed person of the society.
From relationships point of view, Venus in 10th will be in
4th from it’s natural 7th house and 4th is natural sukh sthana
bestowing pleasures of home life and marital bliss in possible if
Venus is fairly well placed in 10th house. One important negative
factor of Venus here is regarding marriage. As natural 7th house

energy of Libra will not find a comfortable position in 4th from
7th that is 4/10 axis and it creates inner conflicts and much trials.
thus in matters of the heart native shall not be as lucky as in the
matters of wealth and prestige. Presence of Venus in 4th house
from 7th house will make quests and there will be pursual of
innate 7th house energy, hence, native will go through struggle
to reach a considerable level of satiation in love matters.
As we know 10 th is the vital most angular house of
horoscope denoting recognition, power and status before this
world. Greatest benefic Venus will certainly help the native reach
peak of his/her carrier and get recognized as the expert of his/
her field. Native shall be able to get all the money and
identification through his chosen field. 10th from lagna is the
strongest kendra house and maximum effect of Venus can be
felt if it’s dasha too comes at a young age. As lagna is indicator
of self esteem and personality and the native will get a positive
platform to enhance his personalty and boost his self esteem
when he has great benefic like Venus placed in 10th house of
karma.

If Venus is positioned in 11th, the native will have obedient
servants, be bereft of all kinds of misery and will gain abundantly.
- Should Venus occupy the 11th house at birth, the native will
be wealthy but will have connections with other people’s
wives. He will enjoy all kinds of happiness.

- Venus in the 11 th gives superior knowledge, wealth,
kindness, gains and satisfaction.
Venus in 11th house has a lot to say and not just about wealth
and enjoyments. Let me explain it further in the light of logic.

If we see from natural 2nd house allotted to Venus in
kaalpurusha horoscope, then 11th becomes the 10th from it
standing for status and recognition. Venus gives all it’s
beneficence to improve the social status and bank balance of
the native and his immediate family too. More so Venus here
improves the natural talents and skills which are traits of 2nd
house. As innately Venus will import 2nd house matters into 11th
house and this is how some talent connected with Venus
signification, can develop to an extent as to create an earning
source for the native concerned. Money and social success are
at it’s best with 11th house placement of Venus.
In addition to it, Looking towards another facet of Venus
owning 7th house traits, 11th becomes 5th house (the house of
karmic imports) for the native and when karaka of marriage
sits in 11th it becomes almost sure that marriage will play a great
role in shaping the social /financial assets of the native. Venus
in 11th house carrying Libra energy with it will positively land
the native in a state of pleasure and social success through
marital relation is unchallenged. 11th being 5th from 7th will easily
give an emotional partner through marriage and a comfortable
mental state is ahead with this placement.

11th house from ascendant is natural house for gains of all
kinds- be it money matters, social recognition, gain of friend
circle and learning and knowledge. Venusian energy here
definitely will enhance all these traits of 11th house. As 11th house
stands for gyana shakthi and Venus the carrier of all wealth in
material form, intellectual form and sexual energy form can give
much of contentment and blissful state of mind that the native
will cherish and gain in aesthetic experience too. This aesthetic
pleasures derived by the native in higher form can make him
progress spiritually although the degree of all this progress will
depend upon the quality of Venus and influences on Venus
residing in 11th house.

Should Venus be in 12th, the native will be indolent, happy,
corpulent, fallen in moral sense, will eat cleansed food, will be
skillful in providing sleeping comforts and attendants and will
be won over by women.
- If Venus occupies 12th house at birth, the native will enjoy
sexual relationships with many women (bed comforts). He
will be rich and prosperous.
- If in 12th Venus will make the native go after women,
otherwise he can be righteous, but is undutiful. If the 12th
house it is in own or exaltation sign, Venus will make the
native wealthy and native will marry a famous lady.

In the above texts, Venus is being discussed mainly as a
pleasure seeker and morally fallen and also bestowing rich/
luxurious life. I would like to add many more facets of Venus in
12th house of natal chart.

If we count from 2nd house 12th house becomes 11th the
house of gains of all kinds. Thus the natural energy /traits of
Tauras, Venus is carrying forward will meet with positive result
while placement in 12th house. This is how it is surmised that
Venus in 12th house is very good for material benefits and riches
of all kinds.
From 7th house 12th house falls in 6th which is not a benefic
house to contain and mange relationships. This is logical to say
that Venus in 12th house is not gainful for 7th house matters of
partnerships, mutual love and continuation of contracts.
In 12th house of zodiac that is 12th sign Pisces Venus is in
exaltation. Firstly we shall have to understand the real meaning
of exaltation. Venus is in a sign denoting epogee of spiritual
approach and is most capable to give emancipation to the soul,
has the brightest rays when rashmi bala is calculated.
Venus emitting it’s energy in the house of spiritual summit
that is the 12th house speaks of some very vital point. We know
the 12th is for emancipation of the soul and final release of
jeevatma is watched for from this house. When worldly planet

like Venus is placed in spiritual house there is no possibility of
soul following the path of self realization obviously. Venus
exalted in 12th means the return of jeevatma is the cycle of the
universe that must go on to make the world show continue.
Native having Venus in 12th will not live with a spiritual
approach and rather worldly approach will make him bound to
earthy ties which is basis of the world show.

b) Strength & dual lordship-assessing the strength of 7th lord
and dual lordship of 7th lord.
c) Signification (karkattwas) of 7th house. (as per texts)
a) 7 th house -Angular house of kaama

triplicity.
Concept of preyas and shreyas and kaama triplicity-
Classical indian thoughts with it’s ideological perspective
and goal oriented approach, identified the four goals of life called
purusharthas,
Dharma, artha kaama and mokasha.
Artha stands for material prosperity while kaama shows
material satisfaction. These two triplicities together form
preyas.
Dharma stands for regularization of artha and kaama in
such a manner that we are led towards moksha. So dharma and
moksha triplicities form shreyas.
While preyas is the material and worldly base and shreyas

is spiritual summit towards which all human effort is aimed.
There is no contradiction between these two concepts of
preyas and shreys as both work in opposite directions, still
merging into one universal goal.
In indian thought, starting with preyas, one moves towards
shreyas.
In vedic culture, 4 ashrams were there to divide human life
and direction of it’s activities.
Brahamcharya, grahasthaashram, vanprastha and sanyaas
are identified and so defined that these could be well organized
and balanced pursuit of both shreyas and preyas simultaneously.
Our vedas which are fountainhead of knowledge are the
means to acquire happiness for preyas and shreyas.
The word veda means knowledge, the karma khanda shows
how to achieve temporal happiness (preyas which is not the
lasting one)
While gnana khanda teaches us how to obtain eternal
happiness (shreyas through gnana which is removal of avidya)
The 7th house is a part of kaama triplicity. [Gemini, Libra
aquarious]
Similarly 3rd, 7th and 11th house of each human horoscope
denote the kaama shakthi of him/her.
Since all activity of man, whether done knowingly or
unknowingly, is basically an attempt for achieving happiness
and directed by purusharthas.
Kaama tikona comprises of 3rd, 7th and 11th house when 3rd
house (identified with Gemini sign in kaalpurusha) shows
communication and romances,
Chapter 4: 7th House [The Vital House of Kaama Triplicity] 51
7th house stand s for merging of 2 souls together physically

for self recognition and 11th house brings out the culmination
of union wheather good or bad.
11th house is for desires fulfillments and fructification of
desired on emotional plane.
When 1st house represents self and 7th stands for completion
of the self
In Hindu astrology, dharma triplicity is denoted by lagna,
5th house and 9th house. Lagna stands for one’s physical being,
5th house for emotions 9th house for soul. 7th house from any
house shows completion of the same.
If ascdt. Is physical self then 7th is correctly denoted to the
house of physical union.
5th house is mind of the native 11 th house stands for
emotional marriage and gratification of mental kaama.
9th house stands to represent soul and thus 3rd house of
horoscope [7th from 9th] represents marriage of the soul i. e.
Permamnent ally.
In our texts, 3rd house indicates first angle of kaama trikona,
tells about music, dance, sports, ornamentation, clubs, social
places of amusement etc.
7th house indication sexual union, is second angle of kaama
trikona. This represents physical involvement with one from the
opposite gender.
11th is the house of desires fulfillment and emotional
gratification and thus represents 3rd angle of kaama trikona. In
krishnamurthi padhhati, 11th house and it’s lord are accorded
great importance as they denote success of all material desires.
b) Signification (karkattwas) of 7th house (as

per texts)
In astrology, 7th house stands for partnership of all kinds,
including marriage.
In Uttarkalamritam of Kaalidasa, in chapter 5 karaka khanda
i. e. Denoting significance of houses and 7th house has been given
for following significations in verses 12 and 13.
“uddhahavhayabhichaar ——————————————
———————————— chouryam vadet saptamaata”

In chapter 81 of brihat parasara hora shastra, dealing with
female horoscopy parasara ascribes conjugal happiness to 7th
house and widowhood to 8th house.
“saptame pati saubhagya vaidhavya nidhane dwija “
Varaha mihir, in his Laghu jataka ascribes the 7th house to
be the house of wife. So says his son prithusayas in hora saara.
Kalyan verma acontemporary of Prithusasa has ascribed
the 7th house to be a house of passion. As per his view, 7th house
represents dyoona, jaaya, asta-maya and jamitra as in the verse

which say-
“dyun jaayastamayam jaamitra saptamasyaakhya “
Sphujidhwaja in his brihada yavana jaataka ascribes battle.
commerce and trade, wife and travels to the 7th house.
“ranaank ganayavaadi ———————————————
—————————————————— sarvametata”
Sphuji dhwaja was the first indian astrologer to visualize
that 7th house was not confined to conjugal life only but also
represents commerce and trade during peace and battle at war
time.
Further it also represented important travels.
Dhundhiraja in jataka bharana appears to have told the line
of sphuji dhwaja, when he says-
“jaamitra kaamagamnaani kalatrasampada
dayanaastasaptamaga haani vadanti chaaya”
Shambhu hora prakasha & sarvartha chintamani however
says that wife, husband, pulses, curd, gur milk coming and going,
urge for sex, urinary tract and lost wealth should be considered
from 7th house.
“yuvtipadadudwaha ————————————————
—————— cha nashtadhanam” [sarvartha chintamani]
Mantrshwara in phala deepika, says that sexual desires or
passions, pride pathways, public, husband and wife, dyoona, and
jaamitra are to be considered from 7th house where as longevity
of husband is to be considered from 8th house.
Jaamitra chittothama ———————————————
———————kleshapavaadmarenashutivindya dasaan”
jeeva nath jha in his bhava prakasha, says that marriage or

gain of women, trade and business, quarrels with women and
sexology to be considered from the 7th house.
It goes in verse as under-
“adaganaagama —————————————————
———————————— saptamaata” [bhav prakasha]
c) Strength & dual lordship-

ASSESSING THE STRENGTH OF 7 th LORD AND DUAL
LORDSHIP OF 7th LORD.
The lord of 7th house plays a very important role in shaping
the results of this house. These results depend on various facets
e. g. Strength of 7th lord, it’s location in different houses and
aspects of various planets on 7th house and lord.
Almost all the texts have referred to the ‘BALAA BALA ‘i. e.
Strength of 7th house lord and considered the strength of 7th lord
as a very vital factor.
Parashara, in b. p. h. s. Ch. -25/145, directs that result of
house lords should be given on basis of their strength [“bala
bala—————vinirdheshita]
this strength has been divided into three categories, poorna
bala [full strength] , ardha bala [half strength] , hina bala [little
strength]
A planet possessing full strength gives full effects as
described in all the texts. Planet having half strength half of due
results and a planet having little strength gives only one fourth
of strength.
[“graham poorne —————vinirdesha” b. p. h. s. 25/147]
By strength of planet we mean it’s shada bala (six fold
strength).
A planet is considered to possess “full strength “if it’s

shadabala is more than prescribed optimum strength.
For Sun and Jupiter, optimum strength is 6. 5. Rupas each.
For Mars and Saturn, optimum strength is 5 rupas each.
For Moon optimum strength is 6 rupas.
For Venus, optimum strength is 5. 5rupas.
For Mercury, optimum strength is 7 rupas.
A planet is considered to possess “half strength “if is
shadbala is 3 or more rupas but less than it’s optimum strength.
A planet is considered to have heena balam “if it’s shad bala
is less than 3 rupas.
If lord of 7th house is having full strength “(optimum
strength in rupas) the native is blessed with happiness, wealth
and good behavior.
Mantreshwara in “phala deepika” emphasizes, similarly as-
“sapta sambandha ————————————————
—————————————— gunervatta” (ch. 16/20)
Meaning: if 7th lord is related to benefics and it’s lord is
powerful the native is blessed with a wife who gives birth to
sons, is virtuous and is loyal to him.
EFFECT OF DUAL LORDSHIP OF 7th LORD:-

The Sun and Moon each own a single sign viz Leo and
Cancer respectively. Remaining five planets own two signs.
When we are dealing with 7th house lord we will take into
account of the other sign owned by 7 th lord planet in a
horoscope.
If that second (other house) happens to be a bad house then
seventh lord will give bad effects.
If we discuss one example of Cancer ascdt., with Saturn as

7th and 8th house lord. Suppose in that case, Saturn is located in
2nd house, it has to give the results of 7th as well as 8th house.
The results of seventh lord being in 2nd house and 8th lord
being in 2nd house will both work at same time. This thing is
told in b. p. h. s.
“jaayeshe dhanbhaava ———————————————
——————————————— ch jaayate (shloka 74)
It means if 7th lord is in 2nd house, the native has sexual
union with many women, he earns money with the help of his
wife and is slow in action.
In another verse, in b. p. h. s. Parashara has dicussed the
results of 8th lord being in 2nd house as –
“ashtameshe ——————————————————-
——————————————— prajaayate” (sloka 86)
If the lord of 8th house is in 2nd house, the native is bereft of
physical strength, has little wealth and retrieves lost money.
When 7th lord has to give results of 8th lord too, as in above
example, two kinds of results “slow in action “(deergh sutra) and
“bereft of physical strength’ (bahubala ojjit) are two different
things and the native is bound to experience both kinds of
results.
At this point, results are more or less similar.
But the two results pertaining to wealth, “gain of wealth
through women”, and “having little wealth are different results
of 7th and 8th lord respectively in second house.
In such a case, none of these two varied results should be
predicted. The relevant dictum of parashara, in this favour is –
“dwibhashasya ——————————————————
——————— sayaadu bhayoravi” (ch. 25/sloka 146/47)
Further, mantreshwara in phaladeepika too gives another

method of prediction of results in such situation of dual lordship.
The verse goes-
“dwisthanaadhipati ————————————————
———————————— kechijjnaa (ch. 15/verse 11)
Meaning: if a planet owns two signs, it gives full effects of
it’s mooltrikona sign and half effects of it’s own sign.
Another theory says, that the planet gives results of both
the houses it owns. Good or bad depending on ownership of
houses during it’s dasha. In the first half of dasha, the planet
gives the result of the house which falls in the first sign as
counted from the ascdt. In second half of dasha period, the planet
gives result of second house counted from the ascdt.
There are other authors who don’t accept this view. Acc. To
some of them, if a planet is situated in an odd sign it will first
show the results pertaining to it’s odd own sign and afterwards
will give results of even own sign and the other way round, if
same planet is situated in an even sign.
Another point is that a planet is to be considered in it’s
mooltrikona sign. If it’s longitude falls within the prescribed
degree in that sign. Mars is considered to be in mool trikone
with in 12 deg axis. Of Aries.
Mercury between 15 deg. – 20 deg of Virgo.
Jupiter within first 10 deg. Of Sagittarius.
Venus with in first 15 deg. Of Libra.
Saturn within first 20 deg. Of Aquarius.
Chapter 5
7th House - A Broader View

Through the Concept of
a) Siva & Sakthi

b) Beejam & Kshetram
c) Purusha &Prakriti
a) Siva & Sakthi

THE GLORIOUS SHIVA- Vaaman puraana confirms that
kaalpurusha is identifiable as lord shiva and this is how every
human being is believed to have partial energy of lord shiva.
This energy is called purusha tattwa denoted by lagna of every
human natal chart. Further, there is nothing possible in this
universe with solely ishwaramsa i. e. Purusha tattwa or male
element. At the advent of creation of universe, god himself
created everything with male and female elements combined in
it. That means the great lord (ishwar) and his shakthi became
ardhanaarishwar and created the whole srishti.
The glory of combined form shiva with shakthi is
accentuated when we explore more about various forms /facets
of lord shiva.
Let us know what is meant by “Shiva” it means He, who
becomes a mode to bring bliss as the ananda is shiva. The other
name is called as “shankar”when SHA stands for ananda and
KAR means the doer.
Chapter 5: 7th House - A Broader View Through the Concept 59
This all means whosoever is creater of ananda is Shiva.

Shankar is vast form of shiva otherwise Shiva is always nirguna
and only purposefully he becomes saguna.
In shiva - sha – kaar is form of creater ee kar is ishwar (god)
affluence or tejas. And va- kaar is ishwar himself or we can say
sha – kaar is sattwa, ee-kaar is rajas, and va- kaar is tamasa.
Tantrism has further defines shiva beautifully it says shiva
has five expressed forms and two facets lie latent in him.
First form is aa- kaar called tatpurusha
Second form is u-kaar called aghora
Third facet is ma- kaar called saddyojat
Fourth facet is naad or vaamdeva
Fifth facet is bindu or ishwar form of him.
Sixth facet is kalaa or neelkanth form
Seventh facet is kaaliseeth or chaitnya form
It is this chaitnaya form of lord shiva represents the
ardhanaarishwara expression and this form of him is beyond
the time frame and is the subtlest form connected with lord
shiva.
Connection of shiva’s facets with saptachakras of human
body:-
When the ancient vedic concept confirms the association
of we humans with supreme lord, it is interesting to note how
seven forms of shiva tallys with sapta chakras of human body.
Brahma represents shiva’s first form of expression and is
identifiable as MOOLADHARA CHAKRA.
Vishnu represents the second form and thus connects with
lord Vishnu in SWADHISTHAN CHAKRA.
Rudra represents shiva’s third form ruled by Mars (also

called rudra) and thus connects with MANIPUR CHAKRA.
Ishwara is the fourth facet of lord shiva and connects with
human body and ruled by Venus in ANAHATA CHAKRA.
Maheshwara is the fifth facet of lord shiva and is connected
with VISHUDHI CHAKRA ruled by Mercury.
Neelkantha is sixth facet and is connected with Moon AGYA
CHAKRA.
Mahamaheshwara form is the seventh form connecting
with Sun’s chakra i. e. SAHASRARA CHAKRA.
This mahamaheshwara form is where shiva and shakthi are
combined together to form sat chitta ananda.
THE GRACE OF SHAKTHI-

There is nothing possible in this universe with solely
ishwaramsa i. e. Purusha tattwa or male element. At the advent
of creation of universe, god himself created everything with male
and female elements combined in it. That means the great lord
(ishwar) his shakthi, became ardhanaarishwar and created the
whole srishti.
In ardhanarishwara form of god, purusha tattwa is latent
and female element is active. Thus the capability of creation of
the universe is dependent and also run by adishakthi which is
the female element of god himself.
This adi shakthi is no other than goddess durga who is
mother godess of the vast universe and runs the world show.
If we go into antiquity of ardha naarishwara concept, there
is reference in puranas, that brahma when asked rudra to divide
himself for creation of srishti the rudra then divided himself
into male and female form.
Brihad aranyaka upanishad, states that original purusha

[soul] was bisexual, states that original purusha divided himself
into male and female and the multiplied himself.
In kathoupnishad, prajapati described assuming bisexual
form for the purpose of creation of the world.
Here, original purusha is rudra or prajapati are identifiable
as lord shiva and the following references stand testimony to
the fact that lord shiva, is the one who assumed the form of
ardha naarishwara to create the universe.
— yogabeej in verse 190 describes that-
Namastey yogaraajaay sarvagyay namo namah
Meaning – shiva attained the status of yogiraj by accepting
adishakthi jagdeeshwari parvati, gauri for formation and
welfare of the world.
— yogabeej 129 says,
— shiv shakthi ————————————param sthiti}
Meaning- the shakthi and shaktimaan are actually one and
no different entities.
Shiva is omnipotent and so the shakthi is. Both are
inseparable.
— sidhasidhaanta padhati 4/13 says-
Ateva param kaarana —————————————
—————————————sarvasyabhasko bhavet]
Meaning- Adinath shiva is present in everything in his

chaitanya form. He when connected with his own shakthi, is
the one powerful and all encompassor. Without shakthi, He is
shava or merely a corpse. He the lord can run the show of the
world in association with shakthi only.
Saundrya lahiri by sankaracharya in it’s first verse says- lord

shiva cannot do anything without shakthi.
Kaalidasa and Raghuvamsa also tells that Shiva and Shakthi
are essentially one just as the heat and the fire are inseparable.
If shiva is fire then shakthi is heat of the fire.
Nishkaala shiva is nirguna shiva when not joined with
creative shakthi and sakaal shiva is associated with creative
shakthi.
Maya is within the womb of shakthi and is prakriti and this
maya is the matrix of the world. Knowledge of shakthi leads to
salvation and without this knowledge mukti cannot be attained.
Shakthi is chidrupini, pure blissfull consciousness and is
mother nature. She is power of lord shiva and runs the world
show, maintaining the lila of the lord. Shakthi is jagat janani,
mahishasurmardini, bhrantinaasini (destroyer of avidya)
-goraksha sidhanta sangraha- describes the form of lord
shiva as-
nirguna vaam bhaage ———————————————
——————————————————- nathayate
namah:
Meaning- srinatha is identifiable having brahma on his left
side (nirguna swaroop) having wonderful own shakthi on his
right side. (i. e. Parmeshwari paramba mahamaya) and in middle
is present his ownself paramshiva who is most respectable
adibrahma, adinath parmeshwara.
Tantra shastra believes that there is no entity of shaktimaan
(the great lord) without the shakti. Whatever the great lord does
that is actually done by his shakthi through him.
According to tantric principle-
“shiv-opi shavta yaati kundalinya vivarjitaha:”
(devi bhagvat)
Meaning- when shakthi of the lord shiva i. e. Kundalini

separates from lord he becomes shava.
THE UNITY OF SHIVA SHAKTHI IN

MAHAMRITYUNJAYA MANTRA—
If for instance we scrutinize the famous and glorious
mahamrityunjaya mantra-
there comes “om tryambakam yajamahe ———————
———————————— mrityurmukshiye maamritaat
meaning- I bow down to the three eyed lord shiva who is
full of sweet fragrance who nourishes well all beings, may he
free me from the bondage of samsara and death, just as the ripe
cucumber is severed from the bondage to the creeper. May I be
fixed in immortality.
Here is the mantra trymbaka is used for lord shiva.
According to the view of vedic paribhasha that is definition,
ambak means mother and triamba relates with 3 mothers. -
namely gyan shakti, iccha shakthi and kriya shakti.
On the other hand, puranic school relies on the word
triambaka as he – who is three eyed, is lord shiva and his eyes
are Sun Moon and agni.
Kapila of samkhya says that lord shiva has three eyes as
sattwa, rajas and tamas.
Mimansa school declares that lord shiva has three eyes as
vishudha, gyaan and deha.
Astrology believes that threes eyes are past present and
future.
Vedantic philosophy declares it as - three eyes of chitta,
ahamkara and budha.
Yogas state that lord shiva’s eyes are
Aa, au and ma of aum
In my personal view, when one agrees to the point that lord

shiva in his ardhnaarishwara form is connected with human
beings then the lord in his combined form with great goddess
amba is rightly considered as trayabkeshwara i. e. The owner of
three shaktis which are actually facets of shiva’s own shakthi –
adishakthi jagdamba.
Three facets of shakthi are-
Iccha shakthi
Kriya shakthi
Gyana shakthi
The analysis of triambakam goes a long way to understand
the concept of purusha and prikriti and of the soul with the
maya of the world.
The world trimula literally relates with the meaning which
represents amba as goddess jagdamba or it tallyes with concept
of mother goddess and the cult of mother goddess has been
prevalent in indian religion since harappan age.
The concept of amba as shakthi/ mother goddess/goddess
amba or durga is also more understandable and identifiable with
the mahamrityunjaya mantra as the mahamantra deals with
longevity and satiation of worldly desires and release of bondage
with the maaya on a happy note.
This clearly means that triamba here stands for three kinds
of shakthis of lord shiva who are responsible for creation of the
world i. e. Maaya.
The three shakthis are iccha kriya and gyana shakti. the
central force of these three shaktis is brahma which is always
alive in the form of soul.
If we go further exploring the mantra, pushti means shakthi
according to tantric as well as puranic evidence and thus pushti
in the mantra stands for maaya or prakriti and thus by saying
pushti vardhanam we pray to lord shiva to give and bestow on
us the necessary increment in wordly material terms so that

we become progressive in this world.
One who worships shakthi that is god in mother form, has
the supreme power which creates, sustains and withdraws the
universe. Further a sakta does sadhna which helps the union of
shiva and shakthi, through the awakening of forces within the
body only.
He becomes siddha in the sadhna when he is able to awaken
the kundalini and pierce the six chakras. The kundalini shakthi
is awakened by dhyaan, by japa, or by mantra shakthi.
The mother shakthi is embodiment of fifty letters is present
in various letters in different chakras of human body.
When chords of letters are struck in order, the shakthi which
moves in the six chakras awaken herself and saadhaka attains
sidhi easily when shakthi is aroused.
Shakthi actually is turned as that by which we live and have
our being in this universe.
When shiva is unchanging conscienceness shakthi is his
changing power appearing in mind and matter.
Shakthi is at centre of the universe and proceeds the work
of creation, preservation and destruction.
In human body shakthi is in mooladhaara chakra and
vitalizes through the sushumna.
Shakthi is endowed with three kinds of empowerment in
human life. Iccha, kriya and gyana shakthi.
ASTROLOGICAL EXPLANATION OF SHIVA SHAKTHI-

Picking the quote from Brihadaranyaka– ‘The adipurusha
lord Shiva is original Purusha who divided himself into male and
female and the multiplied himself’.
He the Shiva when connected with his own Shakthi, is the
one powerful and all encompassor. Without shakthi, he is shava
or merely a corpse. He the lord can run the show of the world in
association with shakthi only. This clearly marks the
interconnection and inseparable aspect of lagna and seventh
house therefrom. Broadly we can take dharma trikone as Aries
denoting physical entity of adipurusha, Leo is the mental energy
of adipurusha and saggittarius as the soul power and strength
of adipurusha. In this very pattern, Libra becomes integral part
of Aries being 7th from it and so becomes Aquarius to Leo and
Gemini for saggittarius. Housewise if we consider in any
horoscope, lagna and 7th house, fifth and 11th house and 9th and
3rd house are integral part of each other.
From above explanation about concept of shakthi, finally it
is approved by all schools of though that adishakthi is endowed
with three kinds of empowerment in human life.
Iccha, kriya and gyana shakthi.
Considering the astrological aspect of this differentiation,
these three planets form a triplicity of arth and kaama. Artha
triplicity comprises of Tauras, Virgo and Capricorn, denoting
ichha. Kriya and gyaan shakthi. This trikone is workable on
material planes when non living objects and grossly material
objectives are discussed.
Second triplicity is called kaama trikone – starts with Gemini,
Libra and Aquarius. Mercury rules, iccha shakthi as it rules third
house, kriya shakthi is ruled by Venus and gyana shakthi is
controlled by Saturn.
When we believe in above said explanation that the central
force of these three shaktis is brahma which is always alive in
the form of soul then it is justified that soul (jeeva) depicted
through lagna as purusha and as the doer and keeping it alive is
the job of shakthi denoted by 7th house and broadly defined by
kaama trikone in context of human relationships and evolution
and emancipation of the soul (jeeva)
b) Concept of Purusha and Prakriti as in

Hindu philosophy-
PURUSHA IN VEDIC & SANKHYAN PHILOSOPHY-
As per the Vedic philosophy, characteristics of the Purusha
are-
The Purusha or the self is eternally separate from prakriti.
Purusha is without beginning or end & without attributes and
without qualities. It is the eternal seer who is subtle and
omnipresent, is beyond mind, intellect and is beyond time and
space and is in the form of pure consciousness hence it is
immortal. The supervisor over prakriti is the purusha. But the
purusha in vedantic philosophy, is not the doer but acts as the
witness to all acts performed.
Sankhya concept is antagonistic to vedantic concept. As per
muni kapila the founder of the sankhya school of philosophy.
This system does not believe in existence of god. The creation
produced by prakriti has an existence of its own, and
independent of all connection with the purusha to which it is
united.
As the word, SANKHYA suggests, there is an enumeration
of the twenty five principles of the universe and the one who
knows the twenty-five principles attains liberation. Sankhya
system considers the dualistic philosophy which assumes the
reality of purusha and prakriti. Prakriti is composed of three
gunas or forces, called sattva or purity, rajas the passion and
tamas the darkness.
The jeeva is the soul in union with senses. It is limited by
the body and endowed with egoism. It is subject to pleasure and
pain, karmas and it’s outcome rotates in the cycle of death and
rebirth. As per sankhyan theory, purusha is eternally free. Union
of the Purusha with prakriti due to non discrimination between
two is the bondage. The failure to discriminate between purusha
and prakriti is the cause of bondage, and disunion of purusha
from prakriti due to discrimination is cause of emancipation of

the soul. Release is not merging in the absolute, But isolation
from prakriti. Bondage actually belongs to prakriti but is
attributed to the purusha.
The crux of Sankhyan school is that the liberation of
purusha from fetters of binding force with the prakriti as the
bondage or samsara is the union with prakriti. Emancipation
of purusha or self lies in the disuniting with prakriti.
This is done by conveying the correct knowledge of the
twenty-four constituent principles of creation and rightly
discriminating the self from them.
THE CONCEPT OF PRAKRITI –

In concept of SHAKTISM, Prakriti, the active principle, is
personified as the DEVI or goddess and is synonymous with
maya (the matrix of the world). Prakriti is thus often seen, and
depicted so in the puraanas, as the divine mother looking after
the comfort of all beings through her love and embrace.
Prakriti means that which is primary. It comes from - pra -
(before) and - kri - (to make). It is the one root of the universe
resembles vedantic maya, It is called the chief, because all effects
are founded on it and it is the root of all the objects of the
universe.
The Function of Prakriti—As prakriti is the root cause of
universe, yet it alone is not responsible for the existence of the
universe. Prakriti creates only when it comes into union with
the Purusha. This work of creation is done for the exaltation of
each soul.
The vedantic trinity is SAT-CHITTA- ANANDA and sankhyan
trinity is GUNAS – SATTWA, RAJA AND TAMAS. The products of
prakriti are the objects of enjoyment. The intelligent enjoyer is
the purusha or the self, and this self is he who obtains the
kaivalya through the knowledge of prakriti. Prakriti’s
performances are solely for the benefit and enjoyment of
Purusha. Prakriti takes hold of the hand of Purusha and shows

it the whole show of the universe and makes it enjoy every
worldly pleasure and finally helps in Purusha’s liberation.
PURUSHA AND PRAKRITI –a comparison

Attributes of Purusha and Prakriti which are accepted by
all schools of philosophy are-
The characteristics of purusha and prakriti are contrary in
nature.
While purusha is conscious energy, prakriti is non-
conscious one.
Purusha is inactive, while prakriti is active.
Purusha is devoid of the three gunas while prakriti is
characterised by three gunas sattwa, rajas and tamas.
The purusha is unchanging, while the prakriti is ever
changing.
The knower is the purusha who is the silent witness and
the known is the prakriti, the visible object.
The soul must realise the perfection of the Purusha and
must attain to the status of the higher Purusha hidden with in
every Jiva.
CONCEPT OF PURUSHA AND PRAKRITI APPLIED IN

HOROSCOPE –
Life strength is called as purusha shakthi and hence prakriti
is sum total of all the individual soul and matter and thus the
universe is composed of the prakriti.
The manifestation of unmanifested form into material form
is called evolution or projection or creation.
In Hindu philosophy of life, process of manifestation of soul
into material body is caused by interaction between purusha &
prakriti. These two are represented by first house and seventh
house in the horoscope. These are two opposite poles connected

by evolutionary concept of manifestation.
Male energy is called purusha and so the feminine energy
represented by prakriti and hence their mutual interaction is
important regarding marital matters.
As 1st house represents the vital force and 7th house stands
for dissipation of the same force. If 1st house is the physical
being then obviously 7 th house indicates the physical
involvement with members of the opposite gender for purpose
of recreation.
Prana shakthi [represented by ascdt.] Is the material vehicle
for the operation of mind and intellect. It is in fact some basic
energy viz prana sustaining the physical media of life which is
represented by lagna in a chart. Body is represented by lagna
and thus physical union is through 7th house of the horoscope.
Hence 7th house stands for physical kaama.
As 5th house is mind thus 11th house shows mental kaama.
9 house is the soul of the native and hence 3rd house of any
th
chart represents spiritual kaama, thus completing kaama

triplicity as 7, 11 and 3rd houses in any horoscope.
As social obligations like marriage are represented through
physical media, thus 7th house holds more importance and say
in marital matters in the current scenario of this world.
We also know that signs/rashis act as fields of activity and
planets therin are forces acting within that particular field.
Another point is ascdt. Is considered as pivotal point in a
horoscope according to concept of purusha energy centre
having vital force is the lagna.
Almost all the astrologers believe that lagna count for two-
third importance while prediction and Moon sign stands for one
third.
Lagna is eastern sector and 7th is western sector thus they

are opposite poles. As duality is the essence of life and these
prime dualities are shown in life through relationships between
two houses [opposite ones].
House first stands for self and thus 7th for others and hence
these houses 1 and 7th show issues in relationship and self
identity. 7th house has a lot more to say and we can better
understand it by the concept of purusha and prakriti. As in Hindu
philosophy of life, the process of manifestation of ethereal soul
into material body is caused by the interaction between purusha
and prakriti. Astrologically saying, Lagna shows Purusha shakti,
and 7th denotes Prakriti. If lagna is the vital force then 7th is
dissipation of the same. If lagna is the physical media, 7th has to
indicate the physical union and the purpose is procreation.
c) Beejam & Kshetram -

DEFINITION OF BEEJAM –
The 1 st house denotes the birth of an individual i. e.
Generation. The germs of life are nothing but minute invisible
centres of forces clothed with minute particles of ethereal matter
and having no form. They can appear in any form either animal
or human, in order to manifest and express certain powers lying
dormant in these germs of life.
Although these germs of life undergo evolution and grow
from infancy to youth to middle age and further to old age, yet
these germs are not destructible and the ‘I’ [ego] always remains
intact.
These germs of life are given different names. Some call it
vehicles of consciousness, others call it ‘ego’ or psyche of any
individual. Hindu philosopher have terms it as sukshma sharira
[subtle body] of the individual.
The lagna in any horoscope indicates the prana shakthi [life
force] of an individual which remains immortal. Immortality is
meant to continue it’s existence in eternal future. It appears in

manifested body from it’s unmanifested causal form to acquire
experience. While discussing the progeny aspect, we calculate
the ‘Beeja sphuta’ (virility) in man’s horoscope to see wheather
he is capable of reproduction or not.
DEFINITION OF KSHETRA-
When first house is the reservoir of all prana shakthi in
oneself, 7th house decides for the field of activity. Literally
speaking beejam means the energy one has by birth and one is
destined to make use of that energy in one way or the other.
What shall be the field of activity to utilize that basic energy
wheather the seed will get a fertile soil for it’s germination or
not it is decided by 7th house and planetary influence in 7th by
placement, aspects and conjunction.
In female native’s chart, ‘kshetra sphutam’ is calculated to
find out wheather she is fertile enough for reproduction or not.
In wider perspective of the meaning of beejam and
kshetram, these terms are not restricted to just procreation and
producing another life. It has a greater meaning to it. As lagna
acts as purusha shakthi (male energy) denoting vital energy or
life force and 7th acts as prakriti (female energy) denoting the
dissipation /utilization of the vital force. Hence lagna’s strength
and planetary influence on it of denotes the quality and strength
of soul by all means and 7th house stands for application of that
force to bring out the desired results by the soul concerned.
FUNCTIONING OF BEEJAM AND KSHETRAM IN THE

HOROSCOPE-
In above interpretation, it is clear that the pre requisite of
successful germination there has to be strength of beeja
indicated by lagna. Further, whatsoever be the capacity and
strength of lagna the vital force, if it gets a favourable kshetra or
field for proper usage of that vital force depends upon quality of
7 th house and planetary influences therein. Thus the

interdependence of beejam on kshetram and the vice versa is
unchallenged. Vital energy of lagna can work in various ways to
utilize it. What kind of forces are tempting the person and in
which direction the usage of energy shall be there this all is
indiacted through the planets aspects/ placements in 1st as well
as 7th house
When 1st house stands for general strength and life’s force
in a native i. e. First house is the reservoir of life’s energy and
7th house works for eternal drain of same life force.
Thus the interdependent and result oriented activity of two
most important kendra houses is justified.
Chapter 6
Understanding the Concept of

Anima and Animus
[The theory of shadow by C. G. Jung. - justifying the vedic

concept of ardhanaarishwara]
7th HOUSE & SHADOW

The jungian theory is one of the most interesting and
precise theories about human personality& his theory divides
the human psyche into three parts.
Ego, which is identifiable with the conscious mind, second
part is the personal unconscious & the third part is that of
collective unconsciousness. This is actually our psychic
inheritance that is the whole storage of past experiences we are
all born with, but we are not conscious of these. This past life
treasure is unconsciously reflected sometimes by knowledge of
some religious kind or myth or feeling the vibes for someone
and many more. It happens as a result of the conjunction of our
outer reality and the innermost unconscious experiences of the
past.
THE SHADOW THEORY AND CONCEPT OF ANIMA OR

ANIMUS -
The literal definition for shadow is the personification of
that part of a human being, that we deny in ourselves and project
onto others.
Chapter 6: Understanding the Concept of Anima and Animus 75
As persona is the outer image portrayed by any human

being and as a part of our persona it is the role of male or female
we must play outwardly. For most people that role is determined
by their physical gender, but Jung, like freud and others, felt that
we are all really bisexual in nature.
These two archetypes – ANIMA & ANIMUS, act as collective
images which motivate each sex to respond to and understand
members of the other gender. That is, a man apprehends the
nature of woman by virtue of his hidden anima, – and
reciprocating, the woman is able to grasp the nature of maleness
via her animus.
The ANIMA is the female aspect present in the collective
unconscious of men thus represents the feminine side of male
persona, and the ANIMUS is the male aspect present in the
collective unconscious of women thus represents the the
masculine completion of her personality.
Anima and Animus are lying latent in man and woman’s
unconscious mind. Anima is the female element in man better
understood as the unconscious feminine component in the male
psyche and animus is the male element in a women or is the
unconscious masculine component in women. Hence the anima
and animus are responsible for creation of image of the
counterpart and this image is formed on the basis of the
inherent capacity to perceive about the opposite gender and
the innate and latent craving of the individual.
Astrologically, it is planetary disposition of planets in
individual charts which decides about the inner bent of mind or
cravings or capacity to perceive. Due to this capacity to form an
image of our partner we make a search for the most befitting
one. Some people search for the partner and get the fulfillment
considerably. Some other make a search and get
disappointments and end up with more and more cravings and
search continues. Some people after failure drop the idea of
making further search in sheer disgust. So it is all individualistic
phenomenon. Somehow, this is again factual point that two
persons having similar destiny meet on the path of life for

exchanging good or bad according to the karmic linkage
lingering from previous births.
This karmic linkage is depicted through the following four
pivotal points of horoscopes that is –
Key factors in a male native’s chart- lagna and Moon signs,
Venus and 7th house/lord–
anima the female element in man unconscious mind denotes
his emotional pattern and compassionate aspect hidden in his
psyche. When Venus denotes anima of man and subconscious
desire about womanhood, Moon gives him the capacity to
produce an image of woman and this image created by him will
be projected onto various women who attract that man in life.
Further, ascendent will portray the social image and
persona of himself and his independent thoughts and capacity
to project himself in the worldly matters. 7th house shall govern
his practical dealings and experiences with women in this
lifetime.
Special point here is, in a male natal chart, mutual aspectual
or any other kind of mutual relationship between Moon (inner
image) and Venus (outer projection of female image) is
noteworthy and will speak of the quality in her associations
with women.
Key factors in female native’s chart — Lagna, Sun and
Mars & 7th house/ lord-
Animus the male element in woman’s unconscious mind
denotes her courageous and independent power of action and
opinions. While Mars stands for animus and creates the desire
to have a man in her life, Sun at inner level works for making of
male image in her mind which will govern her interactions with
her man.
Further, ascendant will be picturisation of her skills,
independence and outer behavior and projection of her inner
persona before the world. 7th house and lord will govern her
dealings and success and failures of dealings with persons of
opposite gender.
Special point here is, in a female natal chart, mutual
aspectual or any other kind of mutual relationship between Sun
(inner image) and Mars (outer projection of male image) is
noteworthy and will speak of the quality in her associations
with men.
THE SHADOW AND 7th HOUSE-

We will just focus on the 1st/7th house because we will
discuss the shadow of the personality and how it relates to one’s
inner growth and ability to delineate other’s shadow work as
defined through the astrological chart. The shadow is a part of
the personality that has been suppressed and is really an
integral part of the persona of the 1st house. The 1st house
represents our persona, role, mask, which we present to the
world and that part of us that is defined by the birth moment..)
We will focus on the 1/st/7th axis the 1st house being the
persona, the 7th house being the shadow. We unconsciously look
for (and invariably find) these valued shadow qualities when
choosing a partner or life mate.
Whichever kind of planetary energies operate in the native’s
7th house by placement in 7th, lordship of 7th or aspect on 7th
house/lord in your birth chart, those kind of characteristics the
native wants his/her partner to live out for the native. Either
the partner will naturally have that kind of energies denoted
through 7th house/lord or the native will unconsciously force
the partner to draw out similar qualities denoted through 7th
house.
Note: planets influencing the 1st house/ 7th house /lord,
Moon and Venus (for male natal chart) , 1st house/ 7th house /
lord, Sun, Mars (for female natives) (conjunctions and aspects
are liberally taken within 10 degrees on either side)
Results shall be mitigated by various kinds of planetary

influence over Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus. Dispositorship of
these planets in rashi and navamsa chart will affect the results
of these. Further more, conjunctions and aspects on them will
affect the results denoted by these key planets.
There will be following conditions to influence 1st house/
lord and 7th house/lord -by placement in 1st /7th house.
— By star lordship over 1st /7th house.
— By aspecting the 1st/7th house
— By aspecting the 1st /7th lord.
— By conjuncting the 1st /7th lord.
— By being in nakshatra of the 1st /7th house lord.
— By being dispositor of 1st /7th house lord.
— By being in the sign of the 1st /7th lord.
For example, if your 7th house cusp is located in the sign of
Aries - then your positive shadow lover characteristic at first
step must be connected with the quality of “bravery.” the bravery
of Aries is a quality you unconsciously admire (and are attracted
to) in your partner and unconsciously working on to enhance
the bold and brave persona in yourself. Further, the resultant
effect will be amalgamated by influence of many planets shown
by above told ways.
However our shadows can create the pits where our
persona falls and can lose it’s identity and on the other side, the
experience with shadow can be turned into a positive and
intense spiritual experience, which creates fulfillment if only
we seriously want this to happen.
Chapter-7
Role of 7th House in Marriage

as Analysed Through ‘Jaimini
System of Astrology’
As the 7th house is closely linked with marital matters, and

let us understand the role of jaimini astrology regarding marriage
and marital life. There are four pivots in predictiong marriage
through jaimini techniques-
a) Lagna pada, dara pada, upapada& 7th house therefrom
d) Pada for planets
a) Lagna pada, dara pada, upapada& 7th house

therefrom
This point can be dealt separately as
— LAGNA AARUDHA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT
— DARA PADA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT
— UPAPADA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT
LAGNA AARUDHA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT—

B. p. h. s. [ch. 31 bhava padas] tells about how to calculate
padas /arudhas of all the houses and planets, as described by
the sage.
“kathyampatha bhaavaana —————————————

—————————————— mukhyapadam viduha”
The method of pada calculation is described as follows –
As many signs the asdt. Lord is away from the ascdt., houses
are counted then that sign which is arrived at is called as the
pada / arudha of acsdt.
In all padas, it is the pada of acsdt. That is known by the
learned as the arudha lagna.
Dhan pada, vikram/bharatru pada, mantra/sukha pada,
putra pada, roga/shatru pada, kaama/kalatra pada, mrityu pada,
pitra pada, karma pada, laabha pada, vyaya pada are arudhas
for all houses.
Among all the padas/arudhas it is the lagna pada that is of
main significance and is the pivotal point in jaimini system.
Parasara also mentions the special exceptions for pada
calculation
Swasthaanam saptam —————————————— [4]
— ——————————————— dasham padam [5]
Meaning-
The same house or 7th house from it can’t become it’s pada.
Therefore when the pada happens to be the same or own house,
then 10th house therefrom be treated as it’s pada. When the 7th
house from it becomes pada for that house, it should not be
taken, instead, 4th house from the original one is treated as it’s
pada. If lord of a house be in 4th house from it, then the very
house occupied by the planet be regarded as the pada.
When lagna pada is treated as acsdt. The 7th house and all
other houses are of significance in concerned areas.
Chapter 7: Role of 7th House in Marriage as Analysed Through ‘Jaimini System 81
Parasara says in sloka 23,

“aarudhaat saptame ———————————————
———————————————— peedito- tha va [23]
Meaning- the seventh house from lagna pada if situated
either with Rahu /Ketu the native will be troubled by disorders
of stomach or by fire.
Sloka 24 say-
“aarudhaat saptame ————————————————
—————————————————— bhavennar [24]
Meaning-if the 7th house from lagn pada there is placed Ketu
and he is in conjunction with or aspected by malefic, the native
will be adventurous, will have prematurely grey hair and signs
of old age
Sloka 25 says-
“padaatu saptame —————————————————
————————————————— jaayte janah” [25]
Meaning-if in 7th house from lagna pada, there are Jupiter,
Venus and the Moon, all the three together or even two or one
out of them, the native will be vey wealthy.
Sloka 26 says
“swatugade saptame ————————————————
——————————————————— dwija “[26]
Meaning-if in 7th house from pada lagna, there is exalted
planet, native will be blessed with affluence, name and fame in
life.
In sloka 27, sage says
“ye yogah saptame ————————————————
————————————————— sada dwija [27]
Meaning- O brahmin, the effects of the combination in 7th

house from lagna pada, said by me should be considered from
second house too.
In above slokas the sage has justified the importance of 7th
house in gaining social esteem and honour etc.
MY PERSONAL VIEWS- In my view, lagna pada and 7th house
from there is a vital parameter to understand the marriage area
through jaimini system. This is the image of the native as
perceived by the world and shows the side of the native under
the spell of MAAYA. Lagna aarudha is a point of horoscope from
where the outer picture of his /her life before the world is
channelized. Lagna aarudha is a secondary lagna and a pivotal
point of whole jaimini technic. My views in analysing marriage
prospects through lagna aarudha are-
— If from lagna pada, or from 7th therefrom, in an angle or
trine, or upachaya sthana there is placed a very strong
planet, there will be happiness between husband and wife
i. e. The marital aspect is auspicious.
— If 7th pada from lagna pada is in an angle or a trine, in natal
chart there will amity between marital partners. If it is in a
trika house there will be enmity between the marital partner
— Some benefic /yogakaraka planet placed in these two places
— Putrakaraka or darakaraka planet placed in two houses
— Atma karaka or amatyakaraka planets placed here
— Gnathi karaka or any malefic planet should not be in these
key houses.
DARA PADA AND7th HOUSE FROM IT- Text like B. P. H. S. is
connecting pada of 7th house only regarding name and affluence.
B. p. h. s says- dara pada [pada for 7th house] as important
rashi and if daara pada rashi and lagna pada sign are mutually
in an angle or trine or in 3rd, 11th house, the native will be a king
ruling the earth.
MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT DARA PADA-

DARA PADA (pada of 7th house) is another key point where
the condition of marriage and marital harmony in the eyes of
the world should be considered.
There is no denying the fact that mutual axis placement of
lagna arudha and 7th lord arudha has a lot to say in marriage
matters, time of marriage & compatibility and success of
marriage are seen through mutual interaction of signs and their
lord. In my humble opinion, dara pada or 7th arudha, is the most
important pivot while predictions are being made through
jaimini system. Pada for 7th house is known as daara pada. We
now apply both regarding marriage and marital affairs.
From natal acsdt., whatever sign becomes pada for 7th house
that sign is taken.
Considering that sign of daara pada as lagna, considerations
are made further.
Mainly these following points are to be considered-
— sign of dara pada or 7th house arudha
— 7th sign from dara pada sign
— sign lord of dara pada sign
— signs aspecting dara pada sign (jaimini aspects are to be
considered)
The malefic or benefic planetary influences will give clues
about how the marriage will turn out to be, time of marriage
and compatibility in marriage all will depend upon benefic
influences or the house containing the dara pada sign and 7th
sign from it matter a lot in predicting marriage.
For example- If dara pada or sign lord falls in trinal houses
of horoscope the results about marriage will come much easily
and fast.
If dara pad sign or the sign lord, falls in angular houses from
lagna, delays or struggle indicated in pursual of marriage.
Promise of marriage is there.
If dara pad sign or the sign lord falls in trik houses (6, 8,
12th houses) of the horoscope marriage plans can be over
delayed or strifes, litigations or diseases can damage the marital
bliss.
— However, 2nd, 3rd and 11th house placement of 7th pad or it’s
lord can give mixed results depending on other factors.
— Some benefic /yogakaraka planet placed in these four places
— Putrakaraka or darakaraka planet placed in these houses
— Gnathi karaka or any malefic planet should not be in these
key houses.
All the above yogas will contribute towards marital
harmony and social esteem.
UPAPADA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM

Uttara kalamrita [kaalidas] in ch. 4 verse 40 tells about
spouse through dara pada.
“daara rudhavasha ————————————————
————————————— chayushmati bhogda [40]
From arudha of 7th house, i. e. Dara pada and arudha of 12th
house i. e. Upa pada, we have to find out everything about first
spouse.
From 8th houses of above two arudhas, we can know
regarding 2nd spouse.
The sage declares that number of wives lost is determined
by the malefic content of these 2 arudhas. If these arudhas are
benefic ones, then the wife/husband assures the family line.
Brings happiness and live s long happily.
UPA-PADA is arudha of 12th house counted in similar way

as the lagna arudha is counted for. Upapada house and 7th house
from here are to be dealt in same way as the lagna pada and
dara pada houses are handled regarding good or bad effects in
marital area. Similar yogas and norms are to be taken as told
above for lagan pada and dara pada houses.

Daara kaaraka i. e. Planet with the least longitude excluding
signs is called daara karaka. Daara karaka is char karaka typical
of jaimini system. It is planet with least longitude and it is
considered for making predictions regarding marital life.
From the book, predicting through char dasha [k. n. Rao] ,
marital matters are vastly handled by considering daara karaka
and 7th rashi from daara karaka and also dara karaka navamsa.
These rashis have greatly to do a lot in partnership and
marital negotiations.
Char dashas of these concerned rashis of
— Daara karaka
— 7th from daara karaka
— Dara karaka navamsa
— Rashis aspecting dara karaka rashi
Char dashas of all the above signs have a great deal and say
in marital affairs. This has been proved effectively by sh. K. n.
Rao.
MY PERSONALVIEW- I go with the views of sh. Kn. Rao in
excluding Rahu from list of karakas and take only 7 karaka
planets for 7 houses. All the rules and points discussed above in
part (a) regarding results of beneficence and maleficance of
LAGNA PADA, DARA PADA AND UPAPADA are applicable in
same way to DARA KARAKA SIGN AND 7th FROM IT.

Karkamsa is the nvamsa sign of atmakaraka planet and that
sign becomes pivotal point and act as karkamsa lagna.
B. p. h. s. In chapter 35 effects of kaarkamsa – mentions
role of karkamsa lagna in marriage and other vital matters.
Slokas 47-48 say-
“dyoone chandraguru yasya —————————————
——————————————————— kalavati [47]
Ravo cha swakule —————————————————
——————————————— vidhwa smarita” [48]
Effects of 7th house from karkamsa-
In whosoever’s horoscope, Moon and Jupiter are place in
7th house from karkamsa wife will be extremely beautiful. In
case Venus is in 7th house she will be very sexual.
If Mercury is in 7th, wife will be well versed in fine arts.
If Sun be in 7th from karkamsa wife will confine herself to
domestic activities only.
Presence of Saturn in 7th house will give older and aged
spouse than the native or a pious or rich wife.
Rahu there in, brings the native widowed wife.
Through jaimini system too, results about 7th house are
mainly concerning marriage and to some extent to social
distinction, prestige and honour.
MY PERSONAL VIEW- Regarding results from karkamsa, the
results are taken pertaining to all areas of life and it is regarded
as an independent chart known as karkamsa in d-9 and
karkamsa in d-1. I go with opinion of mr. rao and consider
KARKAMSA CHART IN D-1 only and deal with this to tackle and
analyse all areas of life including marriage. The rules and norms
are applied to in same way as done in part (a) about LAGAN

PADA, DARA PADA AND UPPADA HOUSES.
The house where karkamsa sign falls in d-1 chart, the kind
of planetary influences on it and sign aspects of jaimini system
on this lagna and 7th from here, all speak of great meaning
pertaining to marriage and marital bliss or denial of the same.
d) Pada for planets

Yasmad yaavtithe ——————————————— [6]
Dwinath ———————————————— vadet” [7]
Meaning-
O brahmin, in the same way, as far away from the planet is
his own own sign, the house so far therefrom is to be taken as
the pada /arudha of that planet concerned. If a planet owns 2
signs or if a sign is owned by 2 planets, then, o vipra (brahma) ,
pada should be calculated on the basis of stronger sign and
stronger planet.
MY PERSONAL VIEWS:- the pada for planets is also to be
used for looking into the results of all pivotal points taken for
marriage. Here under is the list of all important significators of
marriage as per jaimini rules whose pada should be counted
and analysed. –
Pada of lagna lord planet
Pada of 7th lord planet
Pada of dara karaka planet
Pada of arudha lagna lord planet
Pada of dara pada lord planet
Pada of karkamsa lord planet
All the above planets have a significant role in analyzing
marriage prospects seen through jaimini system. Counting of
padas of these planets will give one sign each which will have
maximum effect and impact on marriage regarding quality and
number of relationships and timing of marriage.
Chapter 8
Exaltation and Debilitation in

Libra (Natural 7th House)
– a Commentry
a) Explanation of Sun in debilitation in Libra

b) Explanation of Sun in debilitation in Libra
c) Sun and Saturn -the underlying partnership-
SUN EXALTATION IN ARIES—

The Sun represents the life energy and singularity of the
self. In vedic astrology, Sun also acts as ascendant that means it
becomes a pivotal point from where the beginning of the identity
is controlled and channelized. In detail of the matter it is clear
that identification of soul in higher realm, depends on strength
of Sun who is representing the soul and who is at exalted state
in Aries the first house of the kaal purusha horoscope. While
considering rashmi bala (bright rays) of planets Sun is found
exalted at 10 deg. of Aries and this peak point is the point where
Sun is brightest in the zodiac and as a result Sun gets
emancipation and is at ideal position.
Another point is as the first sign of the zodiac, Aries
represents the first stage in the evolution of man and his place
in the universe. The raw energy of life itself, which is the first
step in being part of the universe, is evidently stands exalted in
first house of kaalpurusha horoscope. This position of Sun
allows the identity of soul to shine and assume power and
confidence with full control of self.
On the negative side, because Libra is a reflective sign, it

signifies the waning of the power of the Sun and its commanding
and directive role (Sunset=receptive). On the other hand by the
Sun placed in Libra it is contradictory to the glowing and
conscious source of energy which is what the Sun is about.
Therefore, it is easy to understand its fall or incompatibility in
this sign. The Sun entering Libra is the point of the Fall Equinox,
when the balance of light and dark is exactly equal. After this
day, the Sun will move south of the Equator and the days will
get progressively shorter in the Northern Hemisphere.
As Libra is also about the relationship we have within
ourselves; our inner search for the balance of male assertiveness
and feminine receptivity. There is no way the ego symbol and
assertive masculine Sun feels comfortable in Libra.
What this means is the issues of identity, self expression
and willfullness are not given great merit while the Sun is in
Libra sign. This is appropriate because Libra denotes
relationship and compromise that has the focus on. The
assertive, magnificent/dominating Sun can’t be comfortable
here at all. Outcome is that the individual having debilitated Sun
can’t stand up for their rights, become cold hearted, and suffer
from low self esteem. Therefore, the planets of persona and ego
focus in physicality like Sun are much more conflictive when in
their signs of debilitation and detrimental to well being of the
native.
b) Saturn’s exaltation in Libra -explanation in

relevance with the kundalini shakthi.
I will try to unfold this vast concept very briefly in following
steps-
1. Theory of five elements and kundalini
2. Law of Karma and awakening of kundalini
3. Reality of the inner law of karma represented by Saturn’s
exaltation
Chapter 8: Exaltation and Debilitation in Libra (Natural 7th House) 91
THEORY OF FIVE ELEMENTS AND KUNDALINI –

In the manifest world, we all recognize the physical aspects
of earth, water, air and fire. However, the fifth element, ether, is
rarely identified with physical matter. It acts as the bridge
between materiality and spirituality. The ether is the element
dormant and sleeping element and it is here only where the true
transformation takes place when Kundalini is awakened. When
this awakening occurs, man becomes aware of all five of the
elements and feel that he is whole and complete. According to
tantric principle-
“shiv-opi shavta yaati kundalinya vivarjitaha:” (devi
bhagvat)
Meaning- when shakthi of the lord shiva i. e. Kundalini
separates from lord he becomes shava.
LAW OF KARMA AND AWAKENING OF KUNDALINI –

Saturn represents law of karma and the karma theory been
discussed in all sects. All the sects like Hinduism, buddhism,
Jainism etc. have given gross definition of karma as a way of life
or baggage of deeds everyone will carry forward to next births.
Meaning of karma - Karma literally means ‘the deed’
meaning action, that will affect destiny. Karma is a sum of all
that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do.
KARMA IN HINDUISM- Karma refers to the totality of our
actions. According to the Vedas, if we sow goodness by doing
good karma, we will reap goodness; if we sow bad karma we
will reap evil. Not all karmas rebound immediately. Some
accumulate and return unexpectedly in this or other births. The
effect of all deeds thus makes one responsible for one’s own life,
and the pain and joy brought to himself as well as to others. In
Hinduism, there is belief in concept of re- incarnation of soul,
so karma are believed to be extended through one’s present
life and all past and future lives as well.
In Buddhism, karma is strictly distinguished from the

‘result”. Karma is based on theory of cause and effect. Any action
is understood to create “seeds” in the mind which will sprout
into the appropriate result when they meet with the right
conditions. Certain types of karmas, with good or bad result,
will keep most of people within the wheel of samsaara (world)
others few will liberate one to nirvana that is emancipation.
However, in light of the Hindu philosophical school of
Vedanta, as well as according to Buddhist thought, the final goal
of good deeds or karma is emancipation of the soul. one is
advised to either control or become mindful of the effects of
karmas they do and modify /change/correct one’s karma to
really get favourable karmic results.
Now, most vital point arises is as to what is the role of free
will. There should be enough of free will to alter or modify our
karmas. Freewill will allow someone to add up good karma or
bad karma so as to affect the karmic destiny and for mature
souls karma are in the direction of getting oneself emancipated.
For that kundalini shakthi needs to be awakened. The goddess
of the great light sleeps within us all, waits to awaken in her
own time and in her own way.
In our Human body there are six cerebro spinal axis centers
ie. Mooladhara, Swathishtana, Manipura, Anahata, Visuddhi,
Agna and Sahasrara. At the base of Spinalcord lies the
mooladhara where 31/2 inches snake coiled known as kundalini
shakthi waiting to be activated to attain mukthi.
This Kundalini Shakthi has to merge with Sahasrara and
Kundalini is the Shakthi and Sahasrara is Lord Shiva. There is
quest present in every human being to uncoil the shakthi of
kundalini to cross all the hurdles of chakras and make a journey
straight to sahasrar in an effort to be one with shiva the original
purusha tattwa and get his soul emancipated from fetters of the
world. The journey of karma ends when kundalini is awakened
and a great accumulation of good karma by dint of karmic
destiny as well as free will are required to reach a level of

kundalini awakening.
REALITY OF THE INNER LAW OF KARMA

REPRESENTED BY SATURN’S EXALTATION
The inner level reality of the law of karma is represented
by Saturn and while it is in “exalted” state in Libra representing
love and balance.
The exaltation of human dharma represented by Saturn is
to embrace and unify spirit the soul (depicted through lagna)
with matter (Libra). In hindu astrology, Saturn rules /governs
our physical karmas by having natural lordship over 10th house
of kaalpurusha horoscope. Secondly Saturn by having natural
rulership of 11th house Aquarius which denotes the whole
gyaana shakthi to move towards emancipation. Now it is evident
that in the horoscope, Saturn has the key to do karma, alter
karma and improve karmic baggage to move forward in the
direction of soul’s exaltation. Let us understand the reasoning
behind Libra being a seat for Saturn’s exaltation. The meaning
is that Saturn is most comfortable while residing in Libra to really
affect the karmic destiny and paving way to emancipation of
the jeeva (the soul).
Points of justification of Saturn’s exalted state in Libra-
- Like the straight spine stemming from the balance of the
hips, an exalted stance of Saturn stemming from Libra and
this spiritual spine (Saturn) rests on a new true Selfhood,
(because as the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra represents
the seventh stage in the evolution of man) and thus decides
Saturn’s place in the universe. The first six signs represent
man’s journey and karmas inwardly to understand and
develop his individual identity. The rest of the seven signs
from Libra onwards represent his development turned
outward towards humanity /society.
In Libra, there is a compromise between the passion and

the intellect. The physical world comes to terms with the
nonphysical world. Hence Saturn, the planet of law and order,
finds its exaltation in Libra.
Other point is that Libra, controls the “moment of reversal
of the wheel” in the life of every aspirant”.. the point-moment
where each meets its other. Saturn being the backbone of the
Universe, stands out as powerful media to exercise free will in
sign Libra, in which Saturn is exalted, (Libra is the hip of the
zodiac) The law, which Saturn represents, is the expression of
the inner equilibrium found in Libra which, exercised through
karma, affirms the position of one self merged into the universe.
Libra is seat or axis where Saturn the indicator of inner law of
karma resides to start the journey of evolution of soul for it’s
final destination of merging with the absolute.
In nut shell this all is about the dynamism of the Saturn
principle who rules the inner law of reality and karma in
relevance with journey through chakras that is evolutionary
journey starting from mooladhara and reaching sahasrara to
merge with the ultimate.
c) SUN AND SATURN -THE UNDERLYING

PARTNERSHIP-
While considering rashmi bala (bright rays) of planets Sun
is found exalted at 10 deg. of Aries and this peak point is the
point where Sun is brightest in the zodiac and as a result of this
soul gets emancipation and is at ideal position. Their exaltation
in opposite signs reveals an underlying partnership between the
two major principles. The seventh exaltation (exaltation of
Saturn in Libra) resonates with the first (the exaltation of the
Sun in Aries) as its echo and counterpart. Through the
opposition, complementarity and interdependence of the signs
Aries and Libra, a polarity is revealed between the Sun and
Saturn, and a partnership between their functions within the
universe and the working at inner level of human psyche is

found out.
In their exalted rapport, Saturn and the Sun are set across
the horizon, “back” to face – Saturn in 7th house of kaalpurusha
as twilight to Sun in 1st house of kaalpurusha as dawn. Libra
represents the threshold and Saturn stands there to eventually
reveals the Self and shows the gate to the greater self. Saturn
guards the ascending ladder of the self through the widening
spheres of Selfhood – making a journey from the relativity
(Libra) to Identity (Aries). As the unconscious shadow denoted
by Saturn in 7th house steps forward to the radiance of the Self,
depicted by exalted Sun in the lagna house.

Role & Effect of All the Planets

in Marital Matters
(References from important Texts and Books and My

viewpoint)
a) Text references regarding 7th house- Describing it as the
house denoting marriage.
b) Placement of 7th lord in all the 12 houses. [as per vedic texts
and my personalviewpoint]
c) References from modern authors’ works and my personal
viewpoint
a) Text references regarding 7 th house-

Describing it as the house denoting
marriage.
As in B. P. H. S Ch. 18. Effects of 7th House
1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, detailing the effects
of the 7th House.
If 7th Lord is in his own Rasi, or in exaltation, one will derive
full happiness through his wife (and marriage).
2. Sick wife. Should 7th Lord be in 6th, 8th, or 12th, the wife will
be sickly. This however does not apply to own House, or
exaltation placement, as above.
Chapter 9: Role & Effect of All the Planets in Marital Matters 97
3. Excessive Libidinousness/Death of Wife. If Venus is in 7th,

the native will be exceedingly libidinous. If Venus conjunct
a malefic in any House, it will cause loss of wife.
4-5. The 7th lord. Should 7th Lord be endowed with strength and
be conjunct with, or be aspected by a benefic, the native
will be wealthy, honourable, happy and fortunate.
Conversely, if 7th Lord is in fall, or is combust, or is in an
enemy Rasi, one will acquire sick wives and many wives.
6. Plurality of wives If 7th Lord is in a Rasi of Saturn, or of Venus
and be aspected by a benefic, there will be many wives.
Should 7th Lord be particularly in exaltation, the same effects
will come to pass.
7-8. Miscellaneous matters. The native will befriend barren
females, if Sun is in 7th. Moon therein will cause association
with such female, as corresponding to the Rasi, becoming
7 th. Mars, placed in 7 th, will denote association with
marriageable girls (those with menses) , or with barren
females. Mercury indicates harlots, mean females and
females, belonging to traders community. Wife of a Brahmin,
or a pregnant female will be in the natives association, if
Jupiter is in 7th. Base females and females, having attained
their courses, are denoted by Saturn, Rahu/Ketu in 7th.
8-9. Mars denotes a female with attractive breasts. Saturn
indicates sick and weak spouse. Jupiter will bring a spouse
with hard and prominent breasts. Venus will bring one with
bulky and excellent breasts.
10-13. Malefics in 12th and 7th, while decreasing Moon is in 5th
denote, that the native will be controlled by spouse, who
will be inimical to the race (or family). If 7th House is
occupied, or owned by Saturn/Mars, the native will beget a
harlot, as his spouse, or he will be attached to other illegally.
Should Venus be in a Navamsa of Mars, or in a Rasi of Mars,
or receive aspect from, or be conjunct with Mars, the native
will kiss the private parts of the female. If Venus is so related
to Saturn, the native will kiss the private parts of the male.
14-15. Worthy spouse. The native will beget a spouse
endowed with (the seven principal) virtues, who will
expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the 7th Lord
is exalted, while 7th is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a
benefic.
16. Evils to spouse. If 7th House, or its Lord is conjunct with a
malefic the natives wife will incur evils, especially, if 7th
House, or its Lord is bereft of strength.
17. Loss of spouse. If 7th Lord is devoid of strength and is
relegated to 6th, 8th, or 12th, or, if 7th Lord is in fall, the natives
wife will be destroyed (i. e. she will die early).
18. Lack of conjugal felicity. If Moon is in 7th, as 7th Lord is in
12th and the Karaka (indicator Venus) is bereft of strength,
the native will not be endowed with marital happiness.
19-21. Plurality of wives. One will have two wives, if 7th Lord
is in fall, or in a malefic Rasi along with a malefic, while 7th
House, or the 7th Navamsa belong to a eunuch planet. If Mars
and Venus are in 7th, or, if Saturn is 7th, while the Lord of
Lagna is in 8th, the native will have 3 wives. There will be
many wives, if Venus is in a Dual Rasi, while its Lord is in
exaltation, as 7th Lord is endowed with strength.
22. Timing of marriage (upto Sloka 34). If 7th Lord is in a
benefics House (or in 9th, as Subha Rasi so means) , while
Venus is exalted, or is in own Rasi, the native will marry at
the age of 5, or 9.
23. If Sun is in 7th, while his depositor is conjunct with Venus,
there will be marriage at 7th, or 11th year of age.
24. Venus in 2nd, while 7th Lord is in 11th will give marriage at
the age of 10, or at age of 16.
25. Marriage will take place during the 11th year, if Venus is in
an angle from Lagna, while Lagna Lord is in Capricorn, or
Aquarius.
26. The native will marry at 12, or l9, if Venus is in an angle

from the Lagna, while Saturn is in 7th counted from Venus.
27. Should Venus be in 7th from Moon, while Saturn is in 7th
from Venus, marriage will be in the 18th year.
28. Marriage will be in the 15th year, if 2nd Lord is in 11th, while
Lagna Lord is in 10th.
29. An exchange between the Lords of 2nd and 11th will bring
marriage 13 years after birth.
30. Ones 22nd/27th year will confer marriage, if Venus is in 7th
from the 8th House (i. e. 2nd from Lagna) , while his depositor
is conjunct with Mars.
31. Should 7th Lord be in 12th, while the natal Lord is in 7th in
Navamsa, marriage will be in 23rd/26th year of age.
32. Either the 25th year, or the 33rd year will bring marriage, if
8th Lord is in 7th, as Venus is in Navamsa Lagna.
33. Should Venus be in 9th from 9th (i. e. in 5th House) , while
Rahu is in one of the said Houses (i. e. in 5th/9th) , marriage
will take place during 31st, or 33rd year.
34. The native will marry at 30, or 27, if Venus is in Lagna, while
the 7th Lord is in 7th itself.
35-39. Timing of wife’s death. Loss of wife will occur in the 18th
year, or 33rd year of age of the native, if 7th Lord is in fall,
while Venus is in 8th. One will lose his spouse in his 19th
year, if 7th Lord is in the 8th, while 12th Lord is in 7th. The
natives wife will die within three days of marriage due to
snake bite, if the native has Rahu in 2nd and Mars in 7th. If
Venus is in 8th, while his depositor is in a Rasi of Saturn,
death of wife will take place during the natives 12th, or 21st
year of age. Should the ascendat Lord be in his Rasi of
debilitation, as 2nd Lord is in 8th, loss of wife will occur in
the 13th year of age.
40-41. Three marriages. Should Moon be in 7th from Venus,

while Mercury is in 7th from Moon and 8th Lord is in 5th
(from the Lagna) , there will be marriage in 10th year
followed by another in the 22nd year and yet another in the
33rd year.
42. Death of wife. lf 6th, 7th and 8th are in their order occupied
by Mars, Rahu and Saturn, the natives wife will not live
(long).
MY PERSONAL VIEW- As told above there is nothing
concrete we can conclude about timing of marriage, number of
marriages, quality, death/demise of partner. All information is
so vague and hap hazard and needs to be dealt with step by step
to really throw some light on various angles pertaining to
marriage.
b) PLACEMENT OF 7th LORD IN ALL THE 12

HOUSES. [AS PER VEDIC TEXTS AND MY
PERSONALVIEWPOINT]
In this part of chapter I will try to explain the difficulty in
interpreting the meaning of 7th lord’s placement in 12 houses
as per the texts. I am considering important texts like B. P. H. S.,
SANKET NIDHI & JAATAKA SAAR DIPA which have detailed
explanation about 7th lord placement in all houses. However, the
meaning therein is so vague and generalized and rather it is
confusing interpretation which should be analysed properly
from different angles in the light of logic. First and foremost
logic is that 7th house represents Shakthi turned as that by which
we live and have our being in this universe.
Shakthi is at centre of the universe and proceeds and
channelizes the work of creation, preservation and destruction.
In human body shakthi is in the mooladhaara chakra and
vitalizes through the sushumna. Idea is to understand the impact
of shakthi’s linkage to each and every house in different
perspectives and through various angles. There is however,

inner level synchronization between DHARMA TRINE and
KAAMA TRINE, yet I shall explain how it work for houses
belonging to all other trines.
We can take DHARMA TRIKONE as Aries denoting physical
entity of Adipurusha, Leo is the mental energy of Adipurusha
and Saggittarius as the soul power and strength of Adipurusha.
In this very pattern, from KAAMA TRIKONE, Libra becomes
integral part of Aries being 7th from it and so becomes Aquarius
to Leo and Gemini for Saggittarius. Housewise if we consider in
any horoscope, lagna and 7th house, fifth and 11th house and 9th
and 3rd house are integral part of each other. I shall try to explain
the energy of 7th house connecting with each house and other
trines and how the impact turns out to be.
The results I will reach by various angles of analysis,
however be amalgamated by so many other factors like -
- Mutual position of lagna lord and the 7th lord
- Position of dispositor planet of 7th lord
- Placement of 7th lord in signs (friuitful, semi fruitful and
barren signs)
- Placement of 7th lord in triplicity based on signs
- 7 th house lord planet’s innate nature and natural
signification
- Influence of other planets on 7th lord
- Functional nature of 7th lord
7th LORD IN 1st HOUSE:-

IN B. P. H. S. [CHAPTER 25/SLOKA 73]
PARASARA SAYS-The native is addicted to wives of others.
He is clever, wicked, of serious temperament and suffers from
windy diseases.
- IN JATAKA SAARDEEP [CHAPTER 45/SLOKA 23]

NARASIMHA, differs from PARASHAR and says-The seventh
lord in the ascendent, makes the native good in looks, enjoys
pleasure but of sad nature, devoted to his own wife but
having attraction towards wives of others.
- IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. 6/VERSE62] -
RAMADAYALU SEEMS TO FOLLOW SAGE PARASARA by
saying - If the lord of seventh house occupies the first or
seventh house, the native is addicted to wives of others. He
is a bold citizen.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT-
All the above authentic texts have a similar point that 7th
lord in 1st house indicates, that the native is attracted to wives
of others which doesn’t seem logical to me. As I have discussed
in above chapters that 7th house denotes shakthi the force of
kundalini which is inseparable from shiva tattwa denoted by
lagna. This 7th house is prakriti which energises is purusha
tattwa. 7th lord aspecting own house from lagna means lots of
good factors in marriage and dealing with marital mate. I will
give some more points in support of my viewpoint.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- As lagna
is in dharma triplicity which has natural affinity with kaama
trikone. (1, 5, 9, and 3, 7, 11th signs /houses will always have
trinal/opposition/sextile axis mutually which denotes harmony)
DHARMA TRIPLICITY also stands for righteousness and decides
the swa dharma means personal character (tendencies) of the
native. Marriage house lord thus linked here will give a
relationship which shall be imbibed in basic personality of the
native. That means the native shall be much involved and sincere
towards who so ever he connects to as marital mate.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM- As we
know 7th house is the completion house thus 7th lord in lagna
means 7th from itself and denotes fulfilling association with

marriage partner and also emotional/sexual gratification. As
from placement in lagna, the 7th lord will aspect it’s own house
and our whole literature on astrology, accepts it as a benefic point
for early marriage and smooth sailing in marriage. 7th lord going
to 7th from itself is sure sign of success in a relationship very
early in life as lagna denotes early period rather the childhood
days of life.
POINT:3 RESULT BASED ON POSITION FROM LAGNA-
As lagna is pivotal point to judge the whole horoscope, SAMA -
SAPTAM POSITION will be success giving. If we start counting
houses from lagna, the 7th lord placement will be in 1st house of
horoscope and sam house from lagna itself so naturally
beneficence attached to it as 1st house is both Kendra and trikona
house and so also called yogakaraka placement due to common
platform for being Kendra as well as trikone house. It is a positive
placement of 7th lord from standpoint of marriage.
POINT:4 RESULT BASED ON MITIGATION OF NATURAL
SHAKTHI WITH SIGNIFICATION OF PLACEMENT HOUSE-
This angle of judgement works as analysis of the connectivity
of kind of energies represented by two houses, one 7th house
and the other the house of placement of 7th lord. As marital/
sexual matters are essence of 7th house lord and lagna represents
the vital force of life. Thus, this combination of lagna and 7th
house energy will make the native have the essential energy
and orientation for marriage and in addition marriage or marital
partner will somehow influence and shape the personality of
the native.
7th LORD IN 2nd HOUSE:-

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25/VERSE-74]
PARASARA SAYS-The native has sexual contacts with many
women, earns through his wife and is idle in action.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA [CHAPTER 45/VERSE 24] -WHICH

MEANS-
NRISIMHA SAYS The wife will be wicked and desires to
beget sons the native earns through his wife and avoid sexual
contact even with the wife.
IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. 6/VERSE 64]
RAMDAYAALU opines that if lord of 7th is in 2nd house, the
native feels happy in having sexual contacts with many women
and mind is ever hankering after women.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- As I have discussed in above
chapters that 7th house denotes shakthi the force of kundalini
which is inseparable from shiva tattwa denoted by lagna. This
7th house is prakriti which energises the purusha tattwa.
Speaking of 2nd house, it will represent accumulation of wealth
by purusha element denoted by lagna. This wealth is in the form
of all material and abstract and thus lot of storage of energy is
profoundly present in the native when 7th lord connects here.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- The
earth element is our physical body, or the material world. It rules
over our material comforts and gives us earthly pleasures.
Houses of our material, physical world, and representing our
pursuits to gain recognition, are called the artha houses.
7th lord the carrier of sexual energy and power when resides
in artha triplicity house that is 2 nd house it is not very
encouraging position. As kaama trine is always having artha
trine in 12th from it. Like Tauras will be 12th to Gemini and so
shall be Virgo to Libra and hence Capricorn to Aquarius. The
energy of kaama or desires carried through 7th house lord will
never be satiated by mere materialism and non living assets.
The feelings brought out by the jeevaatma through 7th lord will
meet with emotional loss however compensated by material
collections. This is one angle. Another angle is even the abstract
energy in form of sexual energy carried from 7th house shall be
latent in the 2nd house and continue to accumulate here unless

channelized by other positive planetary pattern in the chart.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM- If we
count from 7th house till 2nd, it will be 8th from here. We all know,
8 th house from the house in question, denotes death /
transformation of the matter denoted by the house concerned.
So marriage matter will not be met with success in real sense/
worldly context. Nevertheless, if some strong planetary force is
energizing the 7th lord placed herein, transformation of sexual
energy into accumulation of rich experience of the soul is
possible reason behind is 8th from 7th house will give much of
reserves of sexual energy and these can go waste in futile
alliances or be channelized through positive factors of other
planets.
When 7th house energy spreads in the 2nd house which is of
immediate relatives and assests of the native, it can be surmised
that marriage can be within close family and be more a family
affair than a personal one. As from lagna 2nd house denoted
addition and wealth so marital partner may also add to wealth
of the native doubtlessly. All accumulated wealth in terms of
material items/nonmaterial thoughts and experience will
enrich the native in so many ways. 2nd from lagna stands for
additions to the native in all forms, thoughts, and speech, talent
and efforts to give recognition to self, thus native can get
inspiration from marital partner too to improve on some inner
talent in pursuit of self recognition.
SHAKTHI WITH SIGNIFICATION OF PLACEMENT HOUSE- As
a general rule, the second house is signified by money as well
as communication with others, financial matters and is all about
the material possessions gained and the money we earn through
self efforts. Unfolding further we can say 2nd house deals with
the financial fortunes or circumstances of it, final accumulations
/gains. The possibility of financial prosperity or deprivation of
the same of the native is also indicated.
This is general definition for 2nd house but I will go into

details further, as we have understood that lagna represents the
vital force of life and 2nd to lagna is the house of self exertion to
achieve or accumulate something. This is the house that governs
the well being of the native.
That possessions of inner talents denoted by 2nd house, and
wealth of that kundalini shakthi will persuade the native to gain
in higher experience of the soul and that accumulated wealth
of kundalini shakthi, will direct the native to do karma on road
towards emancipation of soul. 2 nd house will allow for
expression of thoughts and 7th house linkage will prove that
expressions will be through and about the power of kundalini
and channelization of the same or awakening of kundalini
shakthi is also possible if other factors support the conducive
spiritual path to the native.
7th LORD IN 3rd HOUSE:-

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25/VERSE 75]
PARASARA says- Children don’t survive. However parasara
opines that male issues can survive with sustained remedial
measures.
IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. 6/VERSE66]
RAMDAYAALU express similar views as that of parasara
about 7th lord in 3rd house. Ram dayaalu has mentioned three
remedial measures viz. yantra, mantra and medicines. He
further mentions that by the 3rd house placement of the 7th lord
son if born may be through other person out of marital bond.
IN JAATAKA SAAR DEEP [CH. 45/VERSE25] -
NRISIMHA is of the view if lord of 7th is situated in 3rd house,
the native is blessed with spiritual strength, is affectionate
towards his kith and kin and is miserable. if the 7th lord is a
natural malefic, his wife is beautiful but stays in the house of his
younger brother/friends.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- 7th house denotes shakthi the

force of kundalini which is inseparable from shiva tattwa denoted
by lagna. By being connected to 3rd house of communication
and travel let me explain how the shape of energy turns out to
be from different angles.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- As 3rd
house being in kaama triplicity, has affinity with 7th house
matters thus giving every move regarding marriage, a positive
platform. While understanding kaama trine 3rd house stands for
icchha shakthi which needs to be channelized into kriya shakthi
which is represented by 7th house thus when 7th lord is placed
in 3rd itself the icchha shakthi is given a kick start to make a
move in the direction of pursuing relationships and get a good
lot of experience in this regard. Overall a fine placement for
marriage.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM- From
7th house when we count 3rd house becomes 9th house denoting
luck and blessings accumulated from past life which will help
the native get a partner with good prowess, comfortable
financial position and overall luck factor. Marriage shall help
the native to upgrade his status socially.
From lagna when we count till 3rd house it gives us the house
responsible for all communications and skills, prowess, close
allys and relatives. All relatives and close members thus making
congenial atmosphere for circumstances for marriage within
close family circles and among known friends. Marriage will
favour the native’s skill set and improve his reputation in his/
her social/family circle in general.
the 7th house represents kundalini shakthi, thus the linkage with
3rd house belonging to kaama triplicity will add to the shakthi
and it’s impact as the 7th and 3rd house are mutually in trine
and trinal houses are complementary houses to one another thus
acting on a positive note with fine tuning and bringing out

favourable outcome of the marital alliance in every way. This
placement will add on the elemental power as both 7th and 3rd
house will have signs belonging to same element.
THE 7th LORD IN 4th HOUSE:-

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE-76]
PARASARA SAYS - The native’s wife is not loyal to him. The
native is a religious man, honest, truthful and suffers from dental
disease.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA [CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 26]
AS PER NRISIMHA- It describes that 7th house situated in
th
4 house, the native is restless, has good relations with enemies
of his father, who uses abusive language. The wife is looked after
by her father.
IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. Ch. 6 /VERSE 65]
ACC. TO RAM DAYALU, the wife is loyal to the husband.
The native is a religious man, honest and famous for his keen
intellect. He sufferes from dental disease, facial disease, caused
by pitta (bile).
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- As in the texts above,
parasara in b. p. h. s. says the contradictory statement about
native’s wife not loyal towards him, seems to be incorrect or
something that is not understandable and not logical that a great
sage like parasara can say that 7th lord in 4th house from ascdt.
and 10th from 7th house can give bad results. Result will depend
on study from many angles. Let us understand from all the angles.
most difficult triplicity is that of water as it deals with the
foundation of horoscope. The karmic baggage carried from past
life and energies, patterns and qualities which are inherited are
considered from water triplicity in general. The fourth house of
the horoscope governs areas related to home, family and
property. The native’s roots, family background, inner emotions,

immovable possessions, domestic life, etc. are covered by this
house. Psychological foundations and conditioning are also
found in the 4th house. This is why it is described as being our
roots, our foundation of life. 7th lord placed here means that there
is inherent connection which is passed on from past life to this
life to fulfill the remaining karmas of past life. Thus there are
both good and bad possibilities when carrier of sexual energy
stays in 4th house carrying karmic load.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM – 4th
house being 10th from 7th denotes the epogee of sexual energy
and recognition of the same in the eyes of others. In other words
karmic linkage and native can be drawn to someone known to
him/her unconsciously and result can be very prosperous and
disastrous depending on other conditions and quality
maintained by 4th house. The positive results can make the
native reach every height of glory and marriage and life partner
will bring the ladder of success to the native & his / her
happiness is likely to be continued till end of life. Even the whole
dynasty of the native will be affected by his /her marriage as
4th rules roots of family and dynasty. Inherited wealth can be
part of marriage when combination of 7th lord is made with 4th
house of inheritance. Social honour and recognition through
marriage is pre destined. However afflicted 7th lord in 4th house
will bring a bad name affecting entire dynasty of the native.
From lagna, 4th house stands for mental well being, family peace
and inheritance and motherland. The carrier of marriage in this
house indicates that marriage will be in homeland or bring the
native closer to motherland. Marriage and partner will be
responsible for your emotional wellbeing to a great extent.
There can be gain of Inherited properties in marriage by the
native having such a yoga.
The native having 7th house lord connected to 4th house by
placement, tells that kundalini shakthi which governs the world

show and worldly linkages, is in many ways connected to past
life’s baggage of karma of the native concerned. Some destined
and pre determined soul connection will come to the fore to
deal with the native and results can be both good or bad
depending on other factors and influences on 4th house and 7th
lord in 4th. However when 4th house is initiation of moksha
triplicity denoting inner psychology and patterns carried from
our past, thus impelling the individual into compulsive
behaviour which results in events which feel “fated.” Results of
unconscious desires /relationships leave very less room for
conscious efforts. Fatalistic events either bring extreme positive
results or the reverse of it.
7th LORD IN 5th HOUSE:-

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE-77] SAYS-
PARASARA says 7th lord in 5th house, makes the native
respectable, wealthy, always cheerful and blessed with all virtues.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA SAYS IN CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 27
NRISIMHA opines if the 7th lord placed in 5th house makes
the native fortunate and blessed with sons and he is courageous
too.
IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. 6 /VERSE 68]
Ramdayalu, tells us that native is high minded, respectable
and foremost among the enterprising men. Has good qualities,
is always happy and his status is enhanced on account of his
association with great men.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- All the above three authors
unanimously agree in ascribing positive results if 7th lord is in
5th house. Still I will explain the why and how behind this
positive result.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- As 5th

house falls in dharma triplicity which literally speaks of swa
dharm or the natural tendencies in a native which are
highlighted through 1, 5, and 9th houses of the natal chart. This
means that one will be innately connected with the traits of the
houses which get linked to these houses of dharma triplicity.
The 7th lord belongs to kaama trine and kaama trine has natural
affinity with dharma trine. So 7th lord in 5th house will definitely
have good bearing on the native’s mind and there will be
enhancement of goodwill with partner.
7th, 5th house is 11th the house of gains and fulfillment of desires.
The 7th lord connecting with 5th thus will give success and wish
fulfilment in pursuits of marital partnerships. There is every
likelihood of a love marriage as the strong emotional bonding
is evident by this placement. 5th is PURVA PUNYA house thus
meeting with a partner with whom karmic data is lingering from
past life is unavoidable. Negative influences on 5th house have
to be checked whatsoever.
From lagna 5th house stands to represent the mental self and
when 7th lord is connected to mental self the result is obviously
affecting the mind prominently. There has to be good aspects
to 7th as well as 5th house for emotional gratification through
marriage. There is also auspicious Kendra and trikone linkage
with this connection of 7th and 5th house.
SHAKTHI WITH SIGNIFICATION OF PLACEMENT HOUSE- We
know that natural shakthi linked with 7th house when makes a
connection with karmic result oriented house like 5th and also
called as the lakshmi sthana, then the good results are mainly
predictable from associating with marital partner. Emotional
gratification becomes a pre requisite to pursue the marriage
and even entring the bond of marriage. Thus there should be
benefic planets connecting in this yoga formation for best results.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE- 78]
Parasara tells if 7th lord is in sixth house, wife suffers from
diseases or the native has ill will with his wife and is full of
anger and is unhappy.
As per Nrisimha, if 7th lord is a natural malefic, then the
native suffers from tuberculosis due to over indulgence in sex
and suffers death.
Ramdayalu goes to the extent that native will spend money
in the company of women with low morals.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- Now in all above texts, the
viewpoint is different parasara says that the wife can be sick
and jatakasara deep tells that native will have diseases due to
sexual indulgence. All the above three authors agree at one point
that if 7th lord is in sixth house, wife suffers from diseases or
the native has ill sexual health and remains unhappy.
I am trying to deal with the whole mystery in it in following
steps.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- 6th
house comes under artha triplicity which has naturally
disconnected from kaama trine being in mutual trika houses.
Kaama triplicity lords rarely give benfits in artha trikone only in
special way when connected to other very positive planetary
combinations.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM- the lord
of 7th house falling in 6th means going in trika from itself also as
well as from lagna also. There is no way we can expect good
results pertaining to longevity of marriage and a healthy
association in marriage is doubtful. There is every possibility of
break of marital bond or diseases to the marital mate as 7th

house and lord carries the marital partner and not the native
himself.
As from lagna, the 7th house is the house of completion of the
self, we have understood by now. How the completion shall be
possible when the carrier of marriage the 7th lord goes one step
backward in 6th house which stands for obstruction, struggles,
debts and litigations. The marriage is not finding a stable
platform to stand on and the native is going to feel the lack of
energy and sex drive and frigidity specially if lagna lord is also
ill placed and is afflicted by malefic. Continuation of marriage is
highly doubtful.
SHAKTHI WITH SIGNIFICATION OF PLACEMENT HOUSE- 7th
house denotes shakthi the force of kundalini which is
inseparable from Shiva tattwa denoted by lagna. This 7th house
is prakriti which energises the purusha tattwa. Now by
placement of shakthi in such house standing for diseases,
breakage of bonds, loss of mutual commitments etc., there is no
point in accepting the 6th house placement to give a healthy and
positive platform for sensitive dealing and sharing between
marriage partners. It is always undesirable for the native to get
linked to 6th house, the worst house among trika houses
specially in concern with emotions and relationships.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE- 79] SAYS-
PARASARA says the native gets, all comforts from wife. He
is of a stable mind, intelligent and scholar. He has windy diseases.
NRISIMHA says The native is long lived, of loving nature
and is always dignified.
IN SANKETA NIDHI OF [CH. 6 /VERSE 68]

RAMDAYAALU has mentioned some effects as of 7th lord
being in first house are. If the lord of seventh house occupies
the first or seventh house, the native is addicted to wives of
others. He is a bold citizen.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- Regarding this point,
parasara and nrisimha have a very sound judgement as in this
case, 7th lord occupies the same 7th house and thus the best
possible situation. Ramdayalu in sanket nidhi, however takes the
result to be same in 1st as well as 7th house. Let us see how the
things turn out to be when watched from all angles.
kaama triplicity lord staying in same triplicity is always expected
to be good result giving regarding marital pursuals and long term
commitments. There is every likelihood of good experiences
with members of opposite gender and sweetness in marital
relationships prevail doubtlessly. There is no dearth of attraction
and mutual goodwill between marital mates as the kaama trine
lord in same place will definitely go for beauty and attraction
and committed relationship in marriage.
the principle of bhaavat bhaavam, the result of the 7th lord
residing in 7th house will be in 1st house or same house from
7th. The swagrahi /own house placement will give rise to one
yoga out of panch mahapurusha yoga which shall be extremely
beneficial to the native and the source of rise in life and social
success shall be through the marital partner.
7th lord in 7th only will make the 7th house from lagna at the 1/7
axis denoting the affinity to lagna. We know 1/7 axis always
stands for complementing the energies of each other. Their is
completion of one trait through the 7th house from it. Thus here
the 7th lord in 7th house will give necessary strength to lagna
and this association is for good for general wellbeing of the
native.

I have discussed in above chapters that 7th house denotes
shakthi the force of kundalini which is inseparable from shiva
tattwa denoted by lagna. This 7 th house is prakriti which
energises is purusha tattwa. The 7th lord in 7th only adds to the
shakthi indicated by 7th house itself. The mahapurusha yoga
made through this own house yoga will give great impetus and
drive to the native and there shall be great success through the
help and association of some member of opposite gender. There
shall be augmentation of self esteem and position with marriage
and partner and the degree of affluence shall depend on position
of lagna lord and other benefic influences and aspects on 7th
house.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE- 80] SAYS-
PARASARA SAYS- There is no comfort from his wife who
is ill natured, sickly and defiant.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA [CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 30] -
NRISIMHA SAYS- The native is addicted to prostitutes or
women of loose morals, remains unmarried and is miserable.
RAMDAYALU has put the situation in the sixth house and
eighth house on an equal footing i. e. results are bad.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- All the above authors are
unanimous in giving negative results of 7th lord being in 8th
house. Still the matter is not completely justified why there shall
be misery connected with marriage in this placement. Let us
see how each facet operates and unfolds the mystery behind 8th
house connection with marriage.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- As we
have already understood in prior chapters that the most difficult
triplicity in the horoscope is the moksha trine consisting of 4, 8

and 12th houses. 8th house we all know is for deep exploration
and transformation. The carrier of marriage as 7th lord placed
here in 8th means the marriage and marital partner will bring
about a major change in personality of the native. The 7th house
becomes 12th from 8th house and thus the likelihood of marriage
bond to suffer or be lost is very much evident.
7 th house, 8 th becomes the 2 nd house denoting all the
accumulated wealth and when 7th house lord is giving all it’s
energy to 8th house clearly means that there is much of storage
of sexual energy in 8th, which needs to be channelized. The
results in this house will greatly depend on other factors like
nature and signification of planet holding the key of 7th house
through lordship. As 8th denotes transformation of sexual energy
in right direction or energy can be wasted in multiplicity of
relationships (as the texts are saying addicted to prostitutes)
and thus, aspects and influences to 8th house will affect and alter
the results to a large extent.
From lagna also, 8th is the end or mrityu bhava that is end of
beej shakthi or virility denoted by lagna. Now, 7th lord in 8th
house provides platform for beeja shakthi to dissipate and let it
be consumed to gain in experience. The 8th house when finds
linkage with the 7th house will give inheritance through the
marital partner. There can be total change of scenario after the
native gets married and there can be legacy through death of
someone in the in laws’ family as 8th is for family of partner too.
Overall the scene of marriage shall not be on a very positive
note as the natural shakthi of 7 th house will be further
accumulated in 2nd from 7th. The 8th house shall be vulnerable
and both the good and bad possibilities shall be there. Either
the native will consume the shakthi to attain the path of
spiritualism or the jeevatma shall remain in clutches of constant

rut of sexual addiction. Thus the other planetary influences are
a must see to reach final conclusion.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE- 81] -
Acc. to parasara, the native has physical contacts with
several women. He undertakes many ventures and always thinks
of women.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA IN CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 31 -
ACC. TO NARSIMHA, the native is dignified and good
natured, his wife too has the same qualities. If 7th lord is malefic,
the native is born as impotent if 7th lord is aspected by lord of
ascdt., the native performs penance with efforts.
IN SANKETA NIDHI OF RAMDAYAALU, [CH. 6 /VERSE 64]
Ramdayalu, has placed the situation of 7th lord in 2nd and
9th house on equal footing i. e. the native feels happy in having
sexual relations with many young girls.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- In the above texts, the result
of this placement has been given in such confusing way that
nothing is made out with clarity. The placement which should
be considered as Kendra and trikone linkage and on positive
note, the texts are giving results of possible impotence or many
sexual allaiances. By being connected to 9 th house of
communication and travel let me explain how the shape of
energy coming from 7th house turns out to be from different
angles.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- As 9th
house belongs to dharma trine and this trine goes well with
Kaama triplicity thus making this combination an all preset
combination for decent and successful marriage.
POINT:2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM-

counting from 7 th house 9 th is 3 rd house denoting
communication, travel and close family zone of relatives etc. The
marriage giving lord of 7th house is doubtlessly in a comfortable
zone as 3rd house from any house shows improvements of that
particular house. In female charts specially 9th is house denoting
progeny too as 3rd house from 7th will depict her husband’s
physical power and prowess and libido. In all male and female
natives, however 7th lord in 9th will increase their sexual energy
or libido.
As 9th house is considered to be the best house in hindu astrology
in almost all possible concerns. The 9th house called as lakshmi
sthana bestowing every good thing on the native and so it is
evident if the planet which is carrier of marriage matter if goes
to 9th house of wealth and fortune will certainly make the native
gain in terms of fortune and wealth through marriage and
partner.
the 7th lord is carrier of shakthi and when this natural shakthi
is connecting with 9th house the house of fortune also known to
be lakshmi sthana it is then obvious to expect marriage to be a
very gainful experience. The meeting of kendra house and trinal
house will also produce most benefic results to uplift the native
having such yoga in social status and prestige.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE-82] -
Parasara says that by this placement, the native is blessed
with sons and wealth, is a religious man but the wife does not
remain under his control.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA [CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 32] -

Acc. To Nrisimha, the native having 7th lord in 10th house
acts against the king (govt.) , is lustful, cruel and uses abusive
language. if 7th lord is a malefic planet, native father in law is a
famous man and his wife is controlled by her mother in law.
IN SANKETA NIDHI [CH. 6 /VERSE67]
Ramdayalu, explains the results similar to that when 7th
house is in 4th house.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- There is again nothing
concrete in texts to really get an idea of how the result of
marriage can turn out to be. Sage parasara says this combination
will make native’s wife uncontrolled by him and nrisimha says
wife is controlled by mother in law. Ramdayalu asks to surmise
same results as of 7th lord being in 4th house which is utterly
wrong. 4th house role is totally different from role of 10th house
in a horoscope. we shall have to explore it in the light of logic.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- Artha
triplicity is best for taking the karma forward and making
progress but when kaama house energy is connected with artha
trine, rarely the fructification of desires occur. The energies
basically don’t support each other’s traits. Rather most likely
result is that in search of gratification of desires, the native has
to push himself too hard to really get the worthwhile results.
Efforting is much more than real gratification.
count from 7th house the 10th becomes 4th house and we can
understand that 4th from any house will add to the inner struggle
and trying hard to make things happen. The 7th lord carrying
the sexual energy and all desires, when rests in the house 4th
from the 7th itself, obviously there shall be enough of trials
connected with marriage matter and pursual will be tiresome
for the native to really get his desires fructified to his
satisfaction.

from lagna 10th is the most powerful house of the entire
horoscope. It denotes the native’s social prestige and capacity
to earn name and fame. When 7th lord stays here that means
the marriage will certainly add to these traits of 10th house. The
marital association shall be beneficial so far as the enhancement
of social reputation is concerned.
energises is purusha tattwa. Overall when natural shakthi
through 7th lord is carried to the biggest Kendra in the chart,
the native has to be enriched by overall gains in prestige and
power through marriage. Partner shall be of high reputation
can be clearly concluded. Emotional fulfillment factor does not
come in jurisdiction of 10th house. So irrespective of this angle,
the native’s gains and enhancement in general status is taken
for sure.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE-83] -
As per parasara, 7th lord in 11th house is a sure sign of
earnings through wife or in modern scenario, we may surmise
that one gets married to a girl who is earning hand herself. Also
one begets more daughters as compared to sons.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA IN CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 33 -
Nrisimha however describes as – wife is loyal by such
placement, is good natured and beautiful but dies while giving
birth to a child.
IN SANKETA NIDHI OF RAMDAYAALU, [CH. 6/VERSE 66]
Ramdayalu describes that same results will incur as if 7th
lord being in 3rd house. In addition he says children of native

may not survive.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- However it needs further
explaination in modern context. Revered authors of above texts
are reluctant in saying that native will have only daughters, then
Nrisimha says wife will die during delivery. All these things have
no logic behind. Let us understand the meaning in a logical way-
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- In the
kaama triplicity 11th is the epogee of all material benefits and
pleasures and it represents the gyaan shakthi which when
connects with kriya shakthi represented by 7th lord will naturally
add to the native’s realization of all passions and desires. This
combination by all ways shall help the native having this yoga,
to achieve the desired contentment regarding marriage and
pleasures connected to it.
POINT: 2 RESULT BASED ON BHAVAT BHAAVAM- As per
the theory of bhavat bhavam the 11th house is 5th from 7th house.
We know 5th house is for love and romance and the marital
association going to 5th from it means the native shall be swayed
by romantic alliance and love based relationship and his/her
social prestige will certainly enhance too.
POINT: 3 RESULT BASED ON POSITION FROM LAGNA-
th
11 house from lagna is always taken for realization of all hopes
and desires and making all kinds of gains. It means the 7th lord
taking the sexual energy and signification of marriage will act
in a way by connecting with 11th house, so that the native will
feel enriched and contented. Marriage thus will bring out a lavish
and emotionally rich experience to the native by multi faceted
improvement in himself.
POINT: 4 RESULT BASED ON MITIGATION OF NATURAL
This 7th house is prakriti which energises is purusha tattwa I
have explained in prior chapters and how the resultant impacts
the self and personality of the native is the whole point to be
understood. Here 7th lord energy going to 11th house means the
native shall get something desirable through marital alliance.

Kriya shakthi of 7 th house connects with gyaan shakthi
represented by 11th house thus adding to the higher knowledge
of the native through the associations with members of opposite
gender. The soul incarnates to this earth to enrich itself through
interaction with other souls and it is all about gaining
experience. This placement helps the native to get the maximum
out of human interaction.

IN B. P. H. S. [CH. 25 /VERSE- 84]
Acc. to parasara the native is poor, a miser and earns
through textiles or sale of garments. His wife spends lot of money
or is an extravagant.
IN JATAKA SAARDIPA SAYS IN CHAPTER 45 /VERSE 34 -
Acc. to nrisimha, the wife of the native is not confined to
four walls of the house. She becomes enamoured of wicked
people and drifts away from the native on account of her restless
nature.
IN SANKETA NIDHI OF RAMDAYAALU [CH. 6 /VERSE 67]
Ramdayalu, also says and agrees with nrisimha and
parasara, that wife will be spendthrift and can become poor
and thus gives poverty to the native too. He also suggests dealing
in textiles by the partner.
MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT- It is clear from above
depiction by vital texts, that the information about the effect of
planet and lord is so unclear and vague. It really becomes
impossible to make out concrete meaning of planet and it’s
outcome in practical life of the native. I am giving below some
logical factors to review the effect of the planet in 12th house.
POINT:1 RESULT BASED ON HOUSE TRIPLICITY- We
know that 12th house of natural zodiac falls in last sign of the
most difficult zone that is MOKSHA triplicity standing to
represent the final summit of all karmas and psychic processes.

Following the same pattern 12th house will show similar traits.
The sexual energy of 7th house, is when carried to the 12th house
of spiritual trine evidently, there will be hindrances in moving
on the righteous path leading to moksha. The approach of the
native having 7th lord in 12th house will be towards spiritualism
but the worldly fetters and pleasures will pollute the saattwic
tendencies depicted by 12th house in general. as we know, the
final goal or emancipation of soul can only be achieved when
all the desires are curbed and one is without any KAAMA. 7th
lord in 12th house somehow predicts the native ‘s whole energy
in an effort to get rid of desires but he is rather more involved
into it and thus the effort to move ahead of desire level continues.
the factual point is 7th house energy will never allow for real
renunciation from KAAMA.
count from 7 th house, 12 th is the 6 th house showing
improvements and more activity which will accelerate the traits
of 7th house that means there will be a kind of enhanced quest
in the native to go through many kinds of sexual /physical level
experiences to really feel the content and meaning in human
relationships and after getting all energy dissipated the native
may then move forward towards emancipation.
From lagna too, 12th house stands to give losses to the self we all
know. Now how the relationship shall be gainful when it is
showing loss of personal energy. Every benefit in this world is
seen and calculated in context with self and effect on our own
self. When our self esteem is lowered or personality feels at loss
obviously that placement will not be on very positive note. There
is also clear mention in our dictas that 12th house is house of
self undoing and indicates loss of personal charm and vital
energy.

energises the purusha tattwa. The prakriti energises the shiva
element identifiable through lagna and when 12th house denotes
dissipation of life force through excessive indulgence then there
is no point to believe that 12th house placement adds to any good
to the native in context of his personal well being and
worthwhile improvement.
The above discussed three texts are more or less similar in
giving details about effects of 7th lord in different houses. The
above said results stand modified if the 7th house and 7th lord is
aspected by any planet (benefic or malefic) Malefic aspect
increases goodness and malefic planet aspecting 7 th lord
decreases the goodness.
Thus careful consideration for the same is of utmost
importance.
c) MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT IN REFERENCE

TO MODERN AUTHORS’ WORKS -
Although the need and purpose of marriage in india has
been different and special and it’s profundity was acknowledged
with distinct spiritual attributes. Manusmriti also gave three
purposes of marriage.
However with changing times, social scenario has
undergone a vast change and now a days, marriage holds
maximum value just as the mode to satisfy carnal urges. Today’s
authors like colonel R. p. gaur, Mrs. Mridula trivedi and many
other authors have written about 7 th house pertaining to
judgement about marital matters in following aspects.
— Delay/denial
— Divorce/disappointment
— Type of spouse [subharya/kubharya]
— Disharmony/differences in marriages
— Number of marriages
— Timing marriage
As all the modern authors are difficult to refer here, I am
opining by referring only two important books by stalwarts in
the field of astrology, Sh. Gaur and Mrs. Mridula trivedi. With all
due respect for their contribution in the field, I am just trying to
highlight the vague and generalized, non result oriented
combinations of planets which need in depth analysis and
further scrutinization to actually reach a conclusion pertaining
to marriage. Every yoga will give different result in different
horoscope as every natal chart is distinct and planets operate
in reference to individual chart differently and not the general
way.
Although, MRS. MRIDULA TRIDEVI and SH. GAUR would
have depicted all these yogas, on the basis of their personal
experience, as well as in reference to the B. P. H. S. and a hoard
of other texts, still there is room for much improvements and
plugging of loop holes in defining planetary combinations.
Both the authors I am quoting, are truly knowledgeable and
I have really learnt a lot from their books, like- Sh. R. p. gaur’s
book DAMPATYA JEEVAN AUR JYOTISHA and MRS. MRIDULA
TRIVEDI’S BOOK ON TIMING MARRIAGE AS WELL AS “A
COMPENDIUM OF MARRIAGE VOL. 1 AND VOL 2”which deals
with almost every aspect of marriage. My idea of re- discussing
the parameters given in these books is solely to extend the
meaning behind the working of each planet and to pin point
the absolute result in different perspectives and in co-relation
with different planets.
While handling the matter of marriage timing/ delay/ denial

etc. the points RIGHTLY taken into consideration are –
7th LORD/HOUSE
VENUS‘S CONDITION AND QUALITY
Both the stalwarts in the field of astrology, seem to be
unanimous at the point that affliction to 7th house/ 7th lord/
Venus and lagna by Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and trika houses cause
delay or denial in marriage.
The significators planets for considering marriage however
are always same for anyone that is 7th lord, Venus, Mars and
Jupiter and fields of operations (houses) also remaining same
for any native. So trika houses are considered bad regarding
marital matters and 1/7 axis taken as field for marital pursual.
In addition negative significators like Rahu/kethu Sun or Saturn
are generally taken for discord /problems in relationships but
there can be a hoard of permutation and combinations made
by these planets which alter the results and thus making every
chart operative in a distinctive way with differing set of
combinations by the above told planets and houses.
In the following yogas, both the authors are giving clear cut
yogas for no marriage and the delays/denial of marriage and
the efficacy and authenticity of such planetary combinations is
highly doubtful. The planets as such do play the role but not in
exact combinations as told in these books.
VIEWS OF SOME MODERN AUTHORS REGARDING

CONNECTION OF MARRIAGE WITH 7th HOUSE.
Sh. R. P. Gaur in his book DAMPATYA JEEVAN AUR JYOTISHA
‘discusses different yogas in marital matters.
In the yogas given by sh. Gaur regarding denial of marital
bliss, all yogas are connected with 7th house.
He says, marriage is NOT possible when –
1. There is malefic influence on 7th house, 7th lord and Venus

in d-1 as well as in d-9 chart. malefic planets here are
separative planets like Rahu, Ketu, Mars Saturn and Sun.
2. Mars and Venus in 5 th 7 th or 9 th house under malefic
influence.
3. There is Mars, Venus and Saturn conjunct in 7th from Moon
lagna.
4. There is Saturn and Moon in 7th house.
5. Malefic are in lagna and 7th house.
6. Two malefic planets in 7th house gives more than one
marriage.
7. There is Saturn and Rahu in ascdt.
8. Saturn only in 7th house [bad in female chart]
9. There is Rahu in 7th along with two more malefic.
10. 7th lord in trika house [6, 8, 12 houses] or vice versa that is
trika lords in 7th.
11. Birth lagna lord and Moon sign lord both in 7th and 7th lord
is in 12th house.
12. Moon and Rahu in 12th house and Mars and Saturn aspect
them.
13. Moon is aspected by strong Saturn.
14. From lagna, Moon sign, lagnesha sign and Venus sign there
is a malefic planet or retrograde planet in 7th house.
15. Sun, Moon and Venus in trika house and in one navamsa.
16. 7th lord and Venus in debilitation, combust or weak and
Saturn and Rahu in 7th house.
17. Ketu in lagna, Rahu in 7th house and Saturn and Sun in 7th
and Sun/ Saturn aspect 7th house.
Regarding the consideration of age in marriage, again main

focus is on 7th house and Venus position and strength in the
horoscope.
Yogas for delay in marriage –
1. Marriage comes at age of 30, as per opinion of sh. Gaur,
when in the horoscope there is Venus in 3rd house and 7th
lord in 9th house.
2. When Venus is under malefic influence in 2nd house and the
7th lord is in trinal houses under malefic association,
marriage comes at 35 yrs.
3. There is Saturn/Ketu in 7th house.
4. Mercury/ Ketu in lagna
5. 7th lord in 8th or vice versa.
6. Sun, Rahu or weak Moon in 7th house.
7. When there is debilitated planet in 7th from ascdt., Moon or
Venus.
Another author, Mrs. Mridula trivedi, in her book, TIMING
MARRIAGE ‘also gives certain combinations for delay/denial of
marital bliss and all yogas include 7th house, 7th lord and Venus
to decide about marriage.
Some important combination as per experience of Mrs.
Mridula trivedi.
1. Saturn in 7th house with or aspected by either Sun or Moon.
2. Saturn in 1st house, Sun or Moon being in 7th house and 7th
lord is weak gives delayed marriage.
3. Severe affliction to above yogas can also deny marriage.
4. Venus and Mercury in 7th house.
5. Venus 43 deg. Or more away from Sun that is Venus
retrograde also hinders and delays marriage.
6. Saturn, Rahu or Mercury Ketu in lagna one discards the
spouse and spouse is sickly.

7. A debilitated or combust planet being placed in 7th from
Venus.
8. Saturn placed in 12th from Venus or from 7th lord and Sun
in 2nd house from these two factors.
9. 7th lord or 9th lord is in 8th house or in the constellation of a
planet who is lord of 8th house.
MY PERSONAL VIEWS-
The points and parameters of consideration are same but
the method of depiction is vague and unclear. Out of above told
many yogas, not even a single yoga is applicable as it is. In every
natal chart, results of combination will vary on account of
different lagnas, and altogeather different planetary set up.
COMMENTS ON SH. R. P. GAUR IN HIS BOOK DAMPATYA

JEEVAN AUR JYOTISHA ‘–
As Sh. R. P. Gaur in his book DAMPATYA JEEVAN AUR
JYOTISHA ‘says clearly that –there is NO MARRIAGE YOGA if
There is Saturn and Moon in 7th house. I want to say that Saturn
and Moon cause PUNARPHOO YOGA which is correctly known
yoga for delaying the marriage but PUNARPHOO should be
operative anywhere in the horoscope like in the lagna, or 5th
house and also through aspectual connection from other houses
too. Why only conjunction in 7th house is taken and the quality
and lordship of Moon and Saturn will only delay and may not
deny marriage. So the yoga can’t be applied authentically.
Similarly the revered author has told that there shall be no
marriage when —Malefic are in lagna and 7th house.
I strongly say that this kind of declaration is misleading to
students of astrology and malefic are in lagna and 7th house in
thousands of natives. All don’t stay unmarried. Many a times
natural malefic planets act as yogakaraka and behaves in far
better way than natural benefics which turn functional malefic

in the natal chart.
Taking another yoga for no marriage by sh. Gaur is –
- There is Saturn and Rahu in ascdt.
Further the author says, if Saturn and kethu in the 7th house
gives delay in marriage.
Now the point the combination of Saturn and Rahu/ kethu
is RIGHTLY put up as a hindrance to marital bliss. But the
applications can be multiple and many combinations of Saturn
with Rahu or with kethu can operate differently depending on
quality of the planets and not necessarily the yogas will give the
exact results depicted in the book.
COMMENTS ON YOGAS GIVEN BY MRS. TRIVEDI -

Similarly I would like to put forth the yogas given by revered
astrologer mrs. Mridula trivedi which although correct at the
root level but various permutations and combinations hold the
key and all yogas are LAGNA dependent. Many a number of yogas
given in the books are relevant by Mrs. Trivedi but the final point
is that we have to discriminate between generalized and logical
yogas and discard the vague or general yoga for the sake of
precision in the subject.
Considering this yoga for example given for delay/denial,
author says -Saturn placed in 12th from Venus or from 7th lord
and Sun in 2nd house from these two factors.
In my humble opinion, this yoga will not operate as such.
The students when cram such parameters as it is, they get
confused and start losing faith in revered science of astrology.
All yogas give different results for different lagnas as the
lordships of planets change and so lagna being the pivot of
horoscope should not be lost sight of.
Another yoga I take as an example, when the author says-
Saturn in 7th house with or aspected by either Sun or Moon
delay /deny the marriage.

My humble explanation of the same is – Saturn will come in
conjunction with Sun for one month per year and in aspect to
Sun at least for one month per year. So for two months in a year
Saturn will connect with Sun and daily at least for one lagna
native, Saturn will come in the 7th house. This yoga will give no
marriage to natives born in those two months and in particular
ascendent seems to be illogical. Moreover with Moon Saturn will
keep on coming into aspect and conjunction several times in a
month.
Saturn makes PUNARPHOO YOGA with aspect/conjuction
to Moon irrespective of it’s placement in house and this
punarphoo is bad for marital negotiations.
So the authenticity of such yogas is doubtful and not
considerable. Planets which are told to be of the calibre of
cancelling of marriage in my view can give a problematic
marriage which is worse than NO MARRIAGE CONDITION. If
other factors are conducive and dasha is favouring marriage
and other planets are better placed than the negative planets
engaged in bad yoga for marriage, marriage is possible. Thus
the results come in judging the potential of planets in totality.
No planet will give or deny the results single handedly.
The following points are considerable in the working of a
yoga-
— We have to look into detail of the matter and predict the
result of planet involved by placement, aspect or
conjunction.
— How other planets are connecting to that particular result
oriented planet.
— What is the lordship of that planet in the natal chart. Is it
functional malefic or benefic is to be looked for.
— What is planetary bala or strength and what is it’s quality.
— What is position of planet in navamsa chart.

— Who is dispositor of that planet and how dispositor is
connected to the planet under scrutiny.
How that planet can bring out result and to a large extent it
all depends upon how the results are mitigated by other
planetary forces and other yogas in the horoscope and then the
dasha pattern. A careful study of horoscope and all angles are to
be dealt with to reach a concrete conclusion.
All the facets of the horoscope which indicate marital life
are to be dealt with along with dasha pattern and navamsa chart
analysis to be authentic to make a genuine analysis. These are
generalized views and cannot yet be followed blindly to handle
the vital and vast topic of marriage and intricacies of marital
life.
NOTE:- I have dealt very briefly with yogas of delay/denial
and early marriage as well as timing of marriage in another
chapter (CHAPTER 14). This chapter too has the brief
description for the reason that I have already started with the
different book on the same topic ‘MARRIAGE & TIMING
THROUGH ASTROLOGY’. In that book I will give all details about
early marriage yogas, delays and reasoning behind the delays
and denials, love marriages and failures of love marriages and
timing of marriage based on various conditional dashas besides
vimsottari dasha and transit principles will be analysed too.
So in the current book, in chapter 14 I shall be just touching
the above told topics grossly.
Chapter 10
My Personal Views &

Analysis on 7th House and
Planetary Role therein
(threefold approach)

b) Effect of planets connecting with 7th house/7th lord from
all angles
c) Effect of retrograde planets influencing /connecting 7th
house
[note: –in all the three categories told above, consideration
of 7th house and planetary influence thereupon is considered
from lagna/Moon lagna whichever is stronger.]
MY PERSONAL VIEWS & ANALYSIS ON 7th HOUSE

The 7th house is naturally associated with the sign of Libra
and its ruler Venus. This house stands for field of social
associations and in particular marital relationships. If the 1st
house is the house of self, then the 7th is the house of others.
This house indicates how we express ourselves in our
relationships and what qualities we seek in others. In particular
it represents the marriage partner, a major relationship with
that kind of commitment. In general it represents the area of
social contact and the need for relationships of various kinds,
and can be extended to our dealings with the general public.
There are TWO main groups in horoscopes.

— Horoscopes without any planets placed in 7 th house-
planetary combinations affect collectively in such
horoscopes and no special result is expected through 7th
house matters. Here planets act more in collaboration with
other planet’s aspects and association and not just on the
basis of natural karkattwas of planet. Effect on 7th house
and impact on marital relationship is dependent on
amalgamation of many factors like aspects on 7th house,
conjunction and aspects on 7th lord etc.
— Horoscopes with planets in the 7th house- such horoscopes
act in very specific way as there is prominence of some
other person in overall shaping the persona of the native.
People with horoscopes having planets distinctly placed in
7 th house are psychologically much more attracted to
partnerships. In other words we can say such people need to
have a marital partner to stabilize them and the needs are
represented by the energies of the planet in the seventh house.
In fact, that facet of the personality which is governed by that
planet placed in 7th house, is underdeveloped in the native and
there is a drive to experience it more fully through relationship
with marital partner. This is why a heavily-posited seventh
house often suggests a person who is desiring to have his/her
personality enhancement via relationships. As such this person
may feel a strong urge for a partner to fulfill basic needs in one’s
own personality, and that urge is denoted by qualities and
temperament associated with that planet in 7th house.
With personal planets in the seventh house of the natal chart
which foretells that the native is disowning a part of his persona,
and he/she is seeking to fulfil that requirement through
marriage relationship. Now, in such cases, it is of utmost
importance to watch for quality of the planets placed in 7th house
as this kind of placement will give extreme results and the
marriage will either make the native’s life or mar the happiness
of life.
Chapter 10: My Personal Views & Analysis on 7th House 135

Here goes my analysis about all planets as placed in 7th
house.
SUN IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE—

EFFECT BASED ON NATURAL SIGNIFICATION OF THE
PLANET -Sun the luminary and most vital among the fraternity
of planets, also acts as personal planet in any horoscope. So when
placed in the seventh house is primarily in a state of fall as per
the kaal purusha horoscope when natural 7 th house is
represented by LIBRA.
We know that it is Sun which gives strength to the other
Planets and Sun’s golden glow denotes the vitality or life force
which induces inner strength to our soul, energises us and gives
us a will to conquer all odds with grace and self esteem and
thus finally succeed. Now, Sun’s rays are maximum while in
exaltation state that is in natural 1st house Aries and so in Libra
in 7th house of zodiac it has lowest bright rays (rashmi bala in
vedic astrology) which will obviously downgrade the energy and
strength of the native’s soul. Sun in 7th house will rather
antagonize the original exalted dignified position of Sun in 1st
house. Secondly Sun in 7th house is bad as it is always setting in
7th house (birth time in evening)
These two points told above suggest a person who in most
of the matters of life has to negotiate and make compromises.
This placement of Sun actually, doesn’t give room and aptitude
to the native to become high headed and influential. A subdued
personality results and that tendency of servitude reflects in the
form of virtual slavery in marriage to marital partner also.
EFFECT BASED ON NATURAL LORDSHIP OF THE
PLANET -Partnership is important to the native as Sun is natural
5th lord rules Leo sign and thus emotionalism and past linkages
come to the fore, and his identity is heavily wrapped up in
partnership. The ego and self respect suffers while in
relationship with the opposite gender, and there can be a

tendency to compromise and trying to balance things out. Most
important here is to avoid losing one’s identity in a partnership.
Lordship and aspects to Sun will further guide in this regard.
However, powerful /exalted /well associated Sun’s energy in
the 7th house, makes the native’s personality drive and ego
expression mainly through marriage, friendships and other
social relationships and result can be gain of social status
through marriage. On the other hand, If Sun is weak and afflicted,
losing personal egoism and identity is not ruled out. Ego
represented by Sun, is expressed through others whom the
native relates with. Sun is described as a krura graha in shastras.
It is not conducive for the well being of marital harmony as Sun
has a separative tendency. Egoism of partner or disliking on his/
her account will keep the native away from partner and union
will not be on a pleasant note. This whole approach is going to
create an unfulfilled void regarding relationship.
Degree of negativity will depend on the quality and
functional beneficence of Sun placed in 7th house.
MOON IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE -

PLANET- Since the Moon is the closest ‘Planet’ to Earth, hence
touches us more deeply than most Planets. As the controller of
of the tides of sea and yes, our emotions have long been
portrayed in terms of the sea: where churning is present and
comes from within the sea. In a similar way, it is befitting to call
the Moon as the ruler of our emotions. Mood swings, instinct,
how we feel about every person or thing and how our feelings
affect others are all governed by the Moon. The Moon is known
to symbolize mother and the relationship between woman and
child and this emotion is the first kind of feeling any one goes
through the tender touch and nurturing of mother. This Planet
(also known as a luminary) speaks to the women in one’s life
and their role as nurturer.
Moon standing for emotionalism so by placement in 7th

house it will naturally give the native the urge for mental/
emotional security through marriage. Moon somehow, indicates
the inherent mother nature and native is necessarily extra caring
and likes to be cared for by his/her partner in marriage.
PLANET- As Moon is the natural fourth house lord as per kaal
purusha horoscope, thus represents mental connectivity with
matters of seventh house. The native experiences a powerful
need to get involved in relationships. The emotional connection
to the partnership is strong. The desire to care for, and to be
cared for, in a relationship is strong, and a relationship with
marriage partner shall be strengthened only when emotional
gratification is there.
Amalgamation of resultant effect is obvious by functional
lordship of Moon in the horoscope.
MERCURY IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE—

PLANET -Mercury is a planet standing for physical functioning.
It is the the receiver of perceptions about physicality. It is the
lens of the identity, the interface between the personality and
physicality, requiring clear perception of physicality. Further,
as physical reality lies in duality and duality creates diversity.
Hence Mercury clearly stands for duality /multiplicity in
astrology so its’strong linkage with 7th house by placement in
7th, the pursual of marital relationships obviously is liable to
give more than one connections with opposite gender.
As Mercury stands to represent the kreeda or the playful
activities so the native shall be undoubtedly over enthusiastic
regarding marital interplay, thus making him/her vulnerable in
this regard when other factors like Venus and 7th lord are weakly
placed.
First of all considering the basic karkattwa i. e. the inherent

tendencies of Mercury which is planet of communications thus
it’s placement in 7th house has to create a need of such a partner
whose thoughts and perceptions are intellectually stimulating
to the native.
The reasoning abilities and communicating skills will
largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind
through relationships. Marriage is especially important to the
mental well-being of native. It creates an urge for a partner
preferably an intellectual type who can give the necessary
mental companionship and support.
PLANET- Further as Mercury rules the third house Gemini in
kaal purusha horoscope, hence representative of
communication and interaction at first hand and also stands to
represent sixth house-Virgo, ruling the health, alienations and
inimical and capacity to serve and thus the native’s self-
expression and ability to communicate and serve the partner
comes alive in partnership. This person needs to be heard in
order to get the gratification in relationship and the native is
down to earth and can be easily enslaved or subdued by the
marital partner depending on other combinations and strength
of Mercury present in the 7th house of marital partnerships in a
horoscope.
VENUS IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE –

PLANET -Venus standing for a symbol of charm, grace and
beauty, and as such it’s placement in the 7th house of marital
association, the native will have no problem attracting the
opposite gender and he/she personifies the partner for his/her
own ideal criterion about love and intimacy. The quality of Venus
highly matters in this case for resultant in positive /negative
effect and impacts on the native.

PLANET -Referring again to kaalpurusha horoscope, Venus
represents second and seventh house and thus stands for family,
finances and relationships with opposite gender. Venus
represents one house of earth triplicity and another house Libra
from kaama triplicity. It suggests a strong need for harmony and
balance in a partnership. The native strives for peaceful co-
existence with a partner. The native with placement of Venus in
7th house believes in zealous involvement in sexual matters and
also denotes early association with opposite gender and
satisfying relationships is the result if Venus is functional benefic
and well aspected, well placed/associated in the native’s chart.
On the other hand, afflicted Venus (debilitated/combust/
retrograde/functionally malefic) will not be able to fulfill the urge
of the native and native is likely to be ditched, cheated or
depressed on the road of relationships with opposite gender and
the journey of finding love and gratification can be painful or
even disastrous depending on overall quality of Venus in the
chart.
MARS IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE—

PLANET - As we know Mars has two kinds of strengths in human
i. e. MANAS SHAKTHI [INDICATED THROUGH TRAITS OF
ARIES] &KAAMA SHAKTHI [traits indicated through energy of
Scorpio] thus plays most prominenet role in the sex drive, sexual
appetite of the native who feels alive through partnership, and
sometimes will depend on a partnership to feed his or her drive
and stores of energy. A relationship that is too peaceful or placid
may leave the native feeling dissatisfied. He or she is constantly
looking for an active partnership, and may depend too much on
a partner for motivation, disowning his or her own drive. That
may be too much responsibility for a partner to bear in the long
run.

PLANET — As Mars is natural significator of ascdt.,
representing self/ego and independence, it seems by placement
of Mars in the 7th house, the experience of self-assertion as
coming from others/partners. The native is not aware of his/
her self esteem and however, the unconscious assertive ego and
hidden traits of native’s self are well brought out through
partners and after entering into relationships and bonding with
his/her counterpart. Depending on the placement, strength and
quality of Mars in 7th will give results in negative or positive
way. If Mars is well placed and well aspected, partner will
embody the traits expected by the native and also will be positive
motivating force to the native and an early and healthy sex life
is assured. If on the other side, afflicted /weak Mars will give a
partner who will be source of constant sorrow and resultant
can be a litigation, loss of reputation due to opposite gender.
JUPITER IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE—

PLANET- Jupiter is known to be the greatest natural benefic so
far as Vedic astrology is concerned. A strong Jupiter present in
7th house is synonymous to promise and assurance of divine
interventions and help available to a native in hard times of
native’s life and that fortune will favour a partnership of
marriage and auspiciouness is linked naturally to marriage. As
placement of Jupiter in 7th will create inherent need in native to
really get a partner to help the native develop his/her moral
outlook and social standing, so the native seeks a partner that
can open up opportunities for expansion and help you grow.
This can indicate a partner of great social standing, and
influence. Jupiter in 7th house makes the native attracted to
relationships that are likely to have an open and generous nature
with chastity and sincerity on the forefront. The native needs
to feel that he or she is growing through a partnership.
The truth is that the native connects with the partner at

higher level of the soul or native looks for a partner who is
generous, high-minded and spiritual.
PLANET -Jupiter being lord of 9th and 12 houses (dharma and
moksha) of kaalpurusha horoscope, tends to give an approach
to the native to free himself /herself from the fetters of maya
(denoted by 7th house). Jupiter being the natural owner of 9th
house of luck [Sagittarius] , is an indicator of ‘Purva Poonya’ or
results of past good actions now bearing fruit in this birth.
Jupiter by being natural lord of 12th house of past karmas
[Pisces] , indicates by placement in 7th house that native will
work in the direction of higher learning/occult studies with
support and association from his/her partner.
There are thus two main inherent qualities of Jupiter the
wealth and fortune part and social standing is upgraded and
secondly, partner can strengthen your faith and deepen your
religious or philosophical attitudes and ideas.
Negative experience for the native can come if Jupiter is in
bad state by being functional malefic/ retrograde/combust or
badly associated. Then gratification doesn’t come through
wordly and physical level but the native’s bad and unusual
karmic linkages add to his /her experience in philosophic
manner and enriches his soul.
SATURN IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE—

PLANET- As a general rule Saturn by being in the 7th house has
a bad raputation regarding marital associations. In my
experience, this position of Saturn does not seem to deny or delay
marriage. I have seen enough people with Saturn in the seventh
who have married young, and whose partners are not
considerably older than them. However, it does suggest a
responsible and mature partner as well as a heavier and more
serious view of partnership. The native takes his or her

partnerships seriously and will usually go to all lengths to fulfill
his or her responsibilities in marriage. The native often feels a
lot of pressure in and through a partnership. If there may be a
tendency to withhold affectional tie and native seems to be
emotionally cold, it will be due to The psychological lessons and
responsibilities that he/she experiences broadly through all
kinds of the worldly interactions and precisely through marital
associations. There may be a very self-controlled and sometimes
calculating attitude towards all forms of partnership. One will
be inclined to search for older specifically mentally matured life
mate and for a woman there may be a subconscious desire to
marry a “father figure”.
PLANET- In kaalpurusha horoscope, Saturn, owns 10th house
the greatest angle and highest point in artha triplicity, and 11th
house Aquarius denoting the epogee of kaama triplicity. Now,
both these houses are of utmost importance so far as success
and recognition in life is concerned. Further the ultimate
understanding about crossing the level of all the worldly desires
and getting final maturity and gyaan to reach a point of ultimate
emancipation is a point of concern of Aquarius.
In my experience the native has to exert enough to find love
and/or put all the efforting on a wrong partner leads to ultimate
loneliness. This is this loneliness which when used in a positive
way for uplift of the soul brings enlightement of the soul in true
sense. This happens according to the quality, association and
position of Saturn in the native’s horoscope. The badly placed
or afflicted Saturn can really mar the bliss of a marital
relationship leading to vices and estrangement. Saturn, in its role
as teacher, concerns itself with karma and thus, with the lessons
which past experiences might bring.
RAHU IN THE 7th HOUSE-

PLANET -First of all here let me bring the factual thing before
readers that Rahu stands for the karmic receptiveness now this
mainly suggests a tendency to be selfish to the extent as to
alienate important people in the life. This thing will come much
more prominently when Rahu is in 7th house of dealings and
interactions. Rahu being node of Moon also has to act at
subconscious plane and by it’s placement in 7 th house of
relationships, the native will be extra demanding from husband/
wife, be impatient, rash, and impulsive and in marriage the
demanding approach can cause strife and struggle on the way
of marital relationship.
The native will have to learn through partnership, the
necessary cooperation with others to attain inner balance. Rahu
when connected with any benefic planet in the 7th house adds
to and enhance the positive and good results where as when
placed with malefic planet in the 7th house boosts the negative
energy of the ill planets thus bringing bad results in matters of
7th house.
KETHU IN THE 7th HOUSE-

PLANET— KETHU Being of reciprocatory nature to Rahu, by
nature stands for fears, lack of self esteem and suggests a
tendency to fall back on and be dependent on husband/wife
when it is placed in the 7th house. While Rahu stands for karmic
distribution further in life, Ketu is for karmic imports and
baggage lingering from past lives.
Such relationships suffer due to a fear of independence and
lack of mutual trust by the person having such placement, thus
causing emotional wreckage to the native and break in
relationship is likely depending on other factor in the horoscope.
This native will actually strive for internal peace, and the
imbalanced mind exerting on relationship will generally give

the native a constant struggle along this path.
b) Effect of planets connecting with 7th house/

7th lord from all angles
Whatsoever has been the relevance behind the concept and
pursual of marriage in one’s life, one thing is unchallenged that
planets operate in many ways to influence either the native’s
psyche/personality in physical terms or the emotional or
spiritual terms.
As every soul is a divine fragment with a long past history
behind it, souls come forth into manifestation, to gain
experience, to grow in wisdom, in love and in power and they
can do it by only coming into practical touch with world around
them. In a natal chart, 7th house is considered as of all dealings
specifically with people of opposite gender with focus on gaining
experience to be able to evolve spiritually. We know the planets
are vitalizing centers in each nativity and there is a special
influence of each planet and nature of it’s vibration changes in
each sign and house.
Planetary effect on marriage can be judged by various ways.
[However, the degree and level of effect is variable.]
— By placement in 7th house.
— By sign lordship over 7th house.
— By star lordship over 7th house.
— By aspecting the 7th house
— By aspecting the 7th lord.
— By conjuncting the 7th lord.
— By being in nakshatra of the 7th house lord.
— By being dispositor of 7th house lord.

— By being in the sign of the 7th lord.
The relation of any planet with 7th house/lord is indicative
of some specific approach towards the marital relationships and
we can judge that kind of quest on the basis of the natural
(naisargic) significations (karkattwa) of the planets. We must
know that planetary energies operate in many ways to influence
either the native’s psyche/personality in physical terms or the
emotional or spiritual terms. We know the first house which
represents the ‘Self’ and the seventh house represents ‘Other’,
as it is directly opposite to first house. It is logical to consider
partnerships/marital associations through the seventh house
that we try to strike a balance, through co-operation.
Many significant issues within ourselves are faced in
intimate relationships, and will not be apparent in relationships
which we share with the rest of the world. we don’t have a deep
personal investment in a casual relationship so there is no fear
of loss of self in more superficial dealings with the world.
DETAILING ABOUT 7th HOUSE-

I have discussed in Jungian theory of anima and animus, in
previous chapter in this book only, that 7th house as per the
Jungian theory of shadow is the personification of that part of a
human being, that we deny in ourselves and project onto others.
As a human being, we somehow disown some quality or trait
that is actually with in ourselves, but we project these traits on
to our intimate partners who are close to our soul. We position
ourselves into a passive role and are expecting our mate to
perform our perceived role to gratify our own ego. When we
find partner lacking in performance it results in feeling cheated
and disheartened. This resultant will be reflected by role of
planets influencing 7th house.
It’s a noted fact that our marital partners make up for the
lack of traits in our own personalities. Relationships can be the
most vital learning experiences about ourselves if we act

honestly in self analysis.
The Descendant or seventh house and all influences on the
7th house of horoscope, gives clue of what we are looking for in
others, and these traits are actually our own but hidden in our
personality and thus we tend to project these on to prospective
partners and so quest for the most befitting one goes on.
I shall opine about every planet’s role on 7th house one by
one-
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF SUN ON 7th HOUSES-

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY SUN- Planet of
self
The Sun represents the life energy of the self and when
treated as ascdt. too. It brings the beginning and quest for self
identification. Sun in whatever way if connected to the 7th house,
the concerned native will seek and desire such a partner that
he/she can be proud of. These natives wishes to gain better
social prestige through marriage and search for someone who
is able to increase the status of the native on the social ladder.
Depending upon Sun’s degree of connectivity to 7th house and
lord and it’s functional quality in the horoscope, there will be
mitigation of results.
Sun however is personified as king and may allow the native
to choose a partner having big authority and dignity attached
to his /her professional status. Partner may be having expertise
in medicine, high administrative positions in government,
doctors, bureaucrats, bankers, politicians, contractors, owning
or managing industrial establishments, etc. royal positions and
posts with power and dignity, service under the Government,
administration lines are all governed by Sun.
SUN INFLUENCING 7th HOUSE — Native having a strong
connectivity of Sun with 7th house or lord, will obviously have a
choice of a partner who is in a position of authority and the sole
idea is to be more confident and prestigious. Moreover Sun

ruling/connecting marriage house will give the relationship key
to the marital mate and make the native accept the partner’s
authority in life. Now, depending on the quality and functional
beneficence of Sun in natal horoscope, the marital mate shall
be self confident, ambitious, honourable and have pride in
himself/herself where as afflicted weak Sun’s connection with
7th lord will make the partner domineering, vain and having false
pride.
MOON INFLUENCING 7th HOUSE-

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY MOON- Ruler of
the Emotions
The Moon reflects the light of the Sun and acts as a reservoir
to contain all those aspects of our consciousness that we may
not be aware of, capable of, or willing to deal with in a conscious
and direct manner. Therefore, its ruler Cancer, which is starting
point of water triplicity which is emotional trine. Through the
Moon’s energy, we endeavor to reconcile these varied emotions
in order to make ourselves complete and one with the world.
The Moon also helps us see that which we want, and to use
memory and the past as part of this process. This luminary
stands for mother nature (ruling 4th house of mother) and thus
speaks of the women in one’s life and their role as nurturer.
Native having Moon connected to 7th house any way, has such
feelings that are greatly influenced by those with whom you
are in close personal contact. For male natives, there is often a
tendency to seek a “mother figure” in a wife and to get protection
and care from her. Marriage may be undertaken with the
objective of establishing a home.
The Moon when influences marriage matters in horoscope,
the native concerned shall attract a partner dealing in milk or
dairy products or any kind of other liquids. Profession of partner
can relate to mind, mental work, agriculture, ships, fishery, salt,
seas, pearls, hospitals, works of women welfare, nursing etc.
INFLUENCE OF MOON ON MARRIAGE - In the horoscope

of any native, Moon as ruler of 7th house or in any other way
influencing the 7th lord or house, that person seem to attract
sensitive people as partners, perhaps those who want to
“mother” you. There can be seen changeability and vulnerability
in nature perhaps due to innate desire to select a real partner
and many casual relationships are possible initially before the
culmination of search to find someone who can bring an
ultimate emotional security. If Moon is the lord of 7 th or
connected with 7th lord or house via aspect or conjunction and
also it is waning or afflicted by malefic like nodes or Saturn etc.
search may not be fruitful and this search continues because
security can only be found within, not through outer dealings.
There can be tendency to be fickle and moody in relationships.
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF MARS ON 7th HOUSE-

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY MARS- Planet
of Passion
When we talk of Mars, we are horrified by it’s negativity
and paapatva (maleficance). Let us understand Mars in a wider
perspective. Mars is the action oriented planet of the zodiac
called the ‘red planet, that stands for natural energy, passion,
drive and determination. This planet commands the native to
stand up, be the doer hence speaks of the power and confident
expression of the individual. Mars encourages us to face
challenges and obviously this courage is coupled with
aggression, ambition and assertion and thus a daring, fearless
nature of the native is the outcome and degree vAries according
to the strength and quality and functional beneficence in the
horoscope. It’s noteworthy, that Mars’s energy can be
constructive or destructive while tackling it in predictive
astrology.
Mars in outer world signifies soldiers, surgeons, chemists,
sharp tools, iron and steel, fire, mortuAries, sports and
everything related with strength.

Mars in consciousness stands for courage, bravery,
enterprise, self reliance, dignity, desire, passion, anger and
impulses, combativeness.
Mars in body rules the head (externally) , nose, smell,
generative system, gall bladder, blood and high temperature etc.
Mars in any manner if connected to 7th house or lord, will make
the native passionate enough to let relationships energize him
so that he/she get a great deal of stimulation from the people
involved with. There is desire for an active partner who can lend
that energy needed to channelize the native’s own initiatives
and projects. Your marriage partner is likely to be very ardent,
positive, active, capable and courageous, with a will of their own.
The nature of Mars can be cruel, active, unrelenting and
generous the amalgamation of all these traits in less or more
degree depends upon quality and position and beneficence of
Mars in the horoscope.
Mars is personified as a commander-in-chief, denotes
position in military and paramilitary forces, police, vocations
employing fire and metals, engineering, chemicals, surgeons,
dentists and executive posts. Mars as planet of action will compel
the native to make selection of such a partner who is engaged
in such professions involving engineering works, fire, lands and
daring operations of bravery, involving instruments, armaments
& tools & department like police, military and medical line. The
partner may also be connected with military preparations,
doctor (Surgeon) , chemist, metallurgy-generally all works in
iron, steel or fire. Bad Mars or afflicted Mars also governs
gangsters and terrorists or butchers.
INFLUENCE OF MARS ON MARITAL RELATIONSHIP- The
tendency is to marry early, often as a result of love at first sight.
Although if Mars is badly aspected or associated or afflicted,
you may repent after entering into hasty marriage.
There may be strife and friction in marriage as a result of
the partner’s hasty temper, intemperance, extravagance,
brashness, intolerance, over-demanding attitude or violence.

Best results from marriage and partnership can be attained if
Mars is well placed and overall influence on marriage house /
lord is benefic, if there is malefic affliction and other factors are
not in tune to maintain healthy association, Mars connection
may create havoc in life by constant disputes, bickering of
partners etc.
It is masculine energy and rules both Aries and Scorpio,
the first house and eighth house of kaalpurusha horoscope,
while Aries rules manas shakthi and Scorpio stands for kaama
shakthi. Thus Mars makes the native prone to satiate his/her
intellectual as well as carnal urges through marital partner when
strongly connected to 7th house/lord. Good and well aspected
well placed Mars will enhance and further energise the native
and bad/afflicted /functionally melefic Mars shall make the
relationship go on a passionate note sans emotions with room
to disputes /strifes/quarrels with the partner. Native may use
the energy constructively or destructively depending upon the
quality of Mars held in the natal chart.
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF MERCURY ON 7th HOUSE–

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY MERCURY-
planet of communication—
When Mercury connects with 7th house by lordship, aspect
or conjunction with 7th lord the usual traits what the native seeks
in a partner are-
Someone who is quick-witted, fluent, volatile, restless,
argumentative and critical. Such partner may possibly be
connected with education, writing, travelling, sales, language
interpretation or clerical, secretarial, typing or computer work
or perhaps any field connected with intellect and mental effort.
As Mercury is a planet of reasoning or education hence it rules
analytical faculties, speech related jobs, jobs linked with sharp
intellect and power of discrimination. It is personified as a
prince, thinker and knowledgeable in the field of mathematics,

it denotes advisory roles, business specially engineering/
software related fields, research scholars, communicators,
editors, authors, accountants, lawyers, auditors, intellectuals,
transporters, publishers, salesmen, traders, etc.
As Mercury stands for physical reality as well as duality and
at same time, creates awareness are all within our mind about
logic and reasoning, and how we create and express our thought
processes.
INFLUENCE OF MERCURY ON MARITAL RELATIONSHIP-
This Planet thus also prompts us to move from one thing to the
next and to get answers on both a physical and psychological
level. With the degree of mercurian influence raising on 7th house
or lord, the concerned native shall desire his/her spouse to be
sharp, curious, clever witty and alert.
Native may spend much time thinking about marital
relationship or relationships in general due to the inherent
analytical temperament of Mercury and thus creates desire of
such a marriage that provides mental satisfaction as well as
physical gratification of urges.
The ideal partner of such natives lies in a person who gives
a lively flow of ideas, ideas that challenge and test the native’s
own mental processes, stimulates him/her in a way that can
make real difference in overall personality of the native both
physically and mentally.
The influence and impact of Mercury is amalgamated by -
the characteristics of it’s dispositor planet, the lordship of
dispositor planet. Secondly, the results of Mercury shall be
mitigated by planet conjunct or in aspect to Mercury in the
horoscope.
Finally the mutual connection and natural and functional
relationship of Mercury with connecting planet will portray the
whole show of marriage in his/her life.
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF JUPITER ON 7th HOUSE-

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY JUPITER- Planet
of Luck
The 9th House represents ‘Dharma’ and Jupiter represents
righteousness or justice. It represents higher consciousness.
Characteristics of partner shall be ruled by qualities of Jupiter
as Jupiter is the thoughtful person’s Planet, governing the
abstract mind and rules higher learning, both intellectually and
spiritually. Jupiter is the karaka for gold, wealth or finance. The
most sought after partner for the native whose 7th house is
somehow affected by Jupiter, can be member of one of the
professions concerning natural karkattwas of Jupiter like
someone dealing in or being a part of schools, colleges,
universities, charitable institutions, hospitals, sanatoriums,
banks, temples, church and matters related to travelling etc
which all come in the domain of Jupiter as natural 9th House
lord. Also in mythology, Brihaspati is the son of Angirasa (Anga-
physical body; rasa – the fluid in the body). There is a continuous
flow of fluid in the body and the food intake is the source of the
fluid (Rasa). Brihaspati also concerns our food, and thus our
living. This makes Jupiter giving strong indications that native
is drawn towards such a partner who is connected professionally
with food, dietetics and overall living style of people in general
and the native may be further attracted to someone who is into
a profession connected with languages and speech and wisdom
(as Brihaspati is also addressed as Bachaspati or master of
speech, or Lord of language, eloquence and wisdom).
Native may get married to professionals in field of
investments as 12th House deals with expenditures, capital
investments, outflow of finances, foreign exchange, the Reserve
Bank, Shares and Stocks and hospitals etc. Jupiter is personified
as a minister, preceptor, judge and is linked with treasury. As
Jupiter is a planet of expansion so in nut shell all professions
which are dignified and which require a good judgement can
be attributed to him. Banks, income tax or revenue department,
treasuries,, charitable or educational institutions, lawyers,

editors, teachers, councillors, judges, priests, senators, bishops,
and ministers and many more.
INFLUENCE OF JUPITER ON MARITAL RELATIONSHIP-
Native will seek a partner that can expand his/her visions, open
up opportunities for expansion and help you grow. The native
seeks social and moral upgradation in his worldly as well as
inner personality. Partner of the native is likely to be more
affluent than the native himself. Usually Luck and good fortune
are said to be associated with Jupiter but the resultant of
marriage will depend upon mitigating factors like –
dispositorship of Jupiter and relation with the dispositor planet
in natural or functional sense. Finally, Jupiter often presages
great wealth, both material and spiritual and marriage mate is
usually becomes an ultimate good friend and a soul mate in
higher realms too. This whole result is sublimated depending
on how strong Jupiter is in strength and in functional terms in
the horoscope and how well and in how many ways Jupiter is
being connected to 7th house or lord.
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF VENUS ON 7th HOUSE

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY VENUS— A
planet of love
Linkage of Venus with marriage house or lord in any way,
induces the idea of seeking love and comfort in marriage. There
is a deep appreciation of the value of relationships and soft and
delicate emotions and luxururious life overrule any other facet
and native having Venus connection with 7th house or lord, will
certainly seek a partner that can supply you with the good and
finer things in life. such a partner who will become provider is
what is desired for. Marriage will be so aspired as to bring a
higher and better platform in life.
Now coming to the traits of partner that are looked for –
he/she must be charming, sociable and friendly and having a
loving nature so that dealing with marital mate becomes
harmonious. There will be desire of such a spouse who is

attractive and probably well off financially.
Venus is a planet of pleasure so the connection with marital
mate will make the native seek someone from the fields like
theatre, drama and other art forms, wealth and things of refinery,
car-dealers, cinema, painting, music, designing, architecture,
interior decoration, entertainment, modelling, advertising and
business connected with its significations etc.
Venus also governs wealth and hence income tax, wealth
tax related posts, dealers in gold, precious stones, elephant or
horses, hotel industry, scent dealers confectioners, linen
merchants, software consultants, field of financial, legal,
administration, teaching, business of medicines and herbs,
fashion and luxurious items will be the areas of chosen partner
to have long term marital associations.
INFLUENCE OF VENUS ON MARRIAGE - There has to be a
sense of cooperation in marriage and between the partners
there must exist a sense of goodwill to make the alliance run
smoothly. It will greatly depend on many factors denoting
marriage and special effect will come from quality, lordship and
functional beneficance of Venus. Venus obviously stands to give
a promising and fruitful association as per the dictas of vedic
astrology. As Venus represents the glue that ties one with the
maya or the worldly relationships (denoted by 7th house). the
stronger the association of Venus with marriage house or lord,
the more the native will crave for healthy and emotionally sound
as well as fulfilling relationship. if Venus is aspected poorly in
your chart, then perhaps your partner’s moral standards are
subject to question.
ROLE AND INFLUENCE OF SATURN ON 7th HOUSE-

BASIC NATURE AND TRENDS DENOTED BY SATURN ON 7th
HOUSE— Planet of Karma
The native is perhaps cautious about marriage and may
make some delays in making commitment, but once into
committed bondage of marriage they find it almost impossible
to come out of it, even if the unhappiness prevails in the
relationship. When Saturn is ruling the 7th house of horoscope
by lordship or is influencing 7th lord by aspect or conjunction or
by dispositorship of 7th lord, as a general rule, it is likely that
the native will be getting a partner from following professional
arenas which are basically duty bound and responsible as the
historians, archaeologist, covators of museums, official workers,
politicians, agriculture field, spiritual areas like astrology,
astronomy, psychic studies and iron related business etc. It has
been observed that he influences service under government
especially or under foreign influence. He also governs jobs
connected with punishment. Saturn gives one leadership in
labour organization, trade unions, service under various
capacities, expert in work and extracting work from others.
Saturn is personified as a statesman and leader of low castes
and signifies jobs requiring hard work with less remuneration,
dealing with labor, labor oriented industry, routine workers etc.
INFLUENCE OF SATURN ON MARITAL RELATIONSHIP—
Saturn actually makes one get married more out of social need
or family responsibility and one may marry for security rather
than love. Duty is the key word to make the alliance go on. The
partner may act in such a way as to become a burden, and may
be uncommunicative, narrow in outlook, cold, and over-critical.
Marriage to a widow or widower is possible. As Saturn makes
way for marriages as settlements on a second choice and which
are drawn by responsibility and not by love and passion.
In nut shell the more the degree of Saturn’s influence on 7th
house or lord the more are the chances to pursue a marriage
on a sad note. However the continuation of marital association

is not affected. Reason being Saturn specially a stable and well
strengthened Saturn will make the native and his situation such
as to endure even a loveless or unhappy marriage rather than
going for separation /break up.
RAHU INFLUENCING 7th HOUSE-

As the nodes Rahu/ Ketu are always moving in retrograde
motion so these nodes in astrology are considered most vital
keys to unfold the karmic mystery. We know, both Rahu and
Kethu are connecting links of our past karmas with present
destiny pattern. Dragon’s head is what is Rahu in vedic astrology
and is a planet of eccentricity. The Rahu connected to marriage
house or it’s ruler, the erratic of cruel deeds are attributed to his
marital partner. But he is well disposed occupying the houses
of especially Mercury, it can get the native married to good
researchers, scholars, lawyers, speculators, etc. when disposed
beneficially, indicates diplomatic jobs, jobs requiring
manipulations with facts, dealing in poisons and drugs. It
signifies cheats, pleasure seekers, insincere and immoral acts,
salesmen, operators in foreign lands, catalysts, wine merchants,
drug dealers, poison dealers, etc.
Rahu is actually indicative of karmic destiny and stands for
hearty understanding about reason and purpose of this current
life and Rahu’s presence in whichever house in the chart it
indicates the route the destiny has to follow in this birth for
fulfillment of past karma. Rahu’s dispositor or associated planet
govers the karmic destiny and has maximum capacity to bring
out the destined outcome of it, as per it’s placement in the
horoscope. If Rahu is associated with functional malefic and in
bad houses, it stands for unending quest and struggle with one
self that end up in unsolved confusions. Rahu is personified as
a diplomat and being a shadowy planet and also deceiver, it’s
connection to marriage can get the native a kind of partner who
has such dual persona and thus creating havoc in the life of
native.
KETU INFLUENCING 7th HOUSE-

KETU denotes the end of nodal axis and natural retrograde
movement brings out the old debts to be re paid in this life. When
kethu is connected with the 7th house through conjunction with
7th house or lord or aspect etc. it usually gives relationships
which are somehow to die or end up giving the native an innate
dissatisfaction and thirst to have peace of mind. To judge the
profession of the partner, Ketu’s connection with marriage
house in any ways indicates the partner from some spiritual
field as Ketu rules interest in occultism, religion, diversification
and services to old and needy persons. Partner can be priest,
astrologer, connected with some religious organization etc.
As Ketu is known in astrology for being a significator of
karmic imports. So it may cause harm to the longevity of marital
partner/partnership. There can be disruptive tendency in
partnership which yields to separation and either there is no
physical interaction between partners or there is lack of libido/
sex drive in the native is the usual indication to bring the
marriage to a sad note and the emotional wreckage is the
outcome in general.
The impact of planets decreases or increases depending
upon their weakness or affliction or strength and good
influences on them in a particular nativity as also due to their
placement in a particular house or in a particular sign.
This is an extremely abbreviated listing of the efficacy of
planets by rulerships and dispositorships and other possible
ways in delineation of the natal chart (as described above in
commencement of the chapter). I have only touched upon some
points of influence of planet but It is required to understand
every planet from all angles and in context with various
perspectives such as linkage to other houses/planets /navamsa
chart etc.
c) Effect of retrograde planets influencing /

connecting 7th house
As is the case with any student of hindu astrology, to fight
out the difficulties in mastering the dicta of classical texts, then
what works is only his/her logical reasoning, which involves
vision and intuition too.
The problem of retrogression of planets and how it’s efficacy
changes with either debilitation or exaltation of planet has been
touched upon by ancient stalwarts, yet the information
contained in classical texts is meagre and contradictory as well.
Horasara ch. 12 says, ’during dasha of a retrograde planets,
one will get honour combined with valour and money aspect is
strengthened as well.
On the contrary, ‘jaataka tattwa informs that during the
dasha of retrograde planet, there will be fall in position, loss of
honour, and decline in happiness. Further it clarifies when
benefics are retrograded in any horoscope, they bestow kingdom
and wealth.
‘Bhavartha ratnakar’ another text comes to rescue of
malefics and this text supports the malefics retrogression which
causes goodeness in concerned matters and events.
Such confusing and contradictory interpretation in the old
texts are a fuss for a student of hindu astrology. There is no such
mention wheather natural benefics/malefics are talked about
or the functional ones!
Although in all classical texts, it has been stated that one of
the sources of strength while calculating shadbala of a planet is
the ‘cheshta bala’ which is maximum while the planet is
retrograde motion. Here one basic and logical point arises
wheather the strength of brilliantly improved rashmi bala
(bright rays) of the planet stands to do some good or cause some
evil!
To develop a base for evaluation of retrograde position it is

of utmost importance to first understand the celestial
phenomenon of retrogression.
As we know, all five planets, barring nodes and luminAries
(Sun, Moon) , reach a particular position in it’s orbit where from
the point of view of an observer on earth, the planet will slow
down, in direct motion, becomes stationery and then appears
to reverse the direction of it’s motion and this latter motion we
call as retrogression.
Nevertheless this movement is actually direct from the Sun’s
perspective (called heliocentric) but as viewed from earth, in
geocentric system we follow, planets appear to move in
backward motion in it’s orbit and that’s it. Now this deceptive
appearance however is duly considered by savants of astrology,
for possibly causing certain changes perhaps both good and bad
ones in trifields of personal, monetary and materials in one way
and also in triadic group of character, conduct and cognitive
aspects of human personality in another way.
The planet actually slows it’s speed just before reaching a
point where it retrogrades. It is at its farthest point in its orbit
from the earth. What actually happens when a planet retrogrades
is that it comes back closer to the earth Astrologically,
retrogression happen when planets, and the energy they
represent, are too far out and need to come back in line with
the earth. In terms of practical understanding about planetary
effects, all the planets have two aspects to show.
CORPORAL AND NON CORPORAL

Corporal effect of retrograde planet- the worldly signification
about material objects and relationships at this earth
Non corporal effect of a retrograde planet-is the abstract
meaning and signification of planet operating at psychical level
and not represented through physical and living entities.
The retrograded planet is best suited to give it’s non corporal
effects. The reason being it is situated farthest from the earth

and thus affects earthy connections and relations which suffer
perhaps due to overly developed non corporal and abstract traits
of planet concerned and more original/basic tendencies of the
retrograded planet is highlighted. The motion is slowed down
first and slowing down can be ultimately more productive and
profitable and when phenomenon of retrogression happens,
things need to change, minds change, and people with retrograde
planets in their charts are here to create change and increase
consciousness here on earth.
When the native has retrograde planets in birth chart, the
experiences are more on personal front and connected with
the deepest signification of the planet concerned while the
worldly aspects and practical/physical matters denoted by that
planet appear to take a back seat.
Person having more retrograde ruling planets like ascendant
lord and Moon sign lord, navamsa lagna lord etc. also likely to
suffer in context of practical affairs/things/relations connected
with that planet and such persons lag behind in terms of the
criterion of success as well as norms of happiness set on worldly
parameters.
Following points are to analyse the effect of each planet
while in retrogression. The significators of marriage like Mars,
Venus and Jupiter will affect married life even if not connected
to 7th house /lord but if these are signifying marriage in a
horoscope they act doubly forcefull to pass the results on. Other
planets Saturn and Mercury and Rahu /Ketu will affect married
life only when they are connected to 7th house as significator of
marriage.
1. Saturn retrograde-
2. Jupiter retrograde
3. Mars retrograde
4. Venus retrograde
5. Mercury retrograde
WHEN RETROGRADE SATURN CONNECTS WITH 7th

HOUSE-
The general clues about Saturn are unclear, yet the
reasonable approach make us apply it’s effect on to the 7th house
by P. A. C. or 7th house lordship.
If Saturn is influencing the 7th house by lordship, placement
and aspect the above told typical features of this major planet
like insecurities, delays, trials connected with marriage, sudden
and dramatic changes/reversals in relationship are possible.
However the extent of bad influence of this retrograded Saturn
in marriage vAries depending on Saturn’s association with other
planets, it’s position in navamsa chart and it’s strength etc.
This retrograde Saturn will also be liable for bringing karmic
imports through marriage, which will affect inner psychological
working of the native and hence the marriage outcome is liable
to bring unproductive and tiresome dealings with the partner.
Even after long term marital association, emotional connectivity
can be lacking and which can pave the way towards spiritual
advancement.
WHEN RETROGRADE JUPITER CONNECTS WITH 7th

HOUSE-
When Jupiter is Retrograde, expansion which is essential
signification of Jupiter, can become impeded and things that
seemed sure can just stop. When external energy dries up, it’s
time to find inner wisdom and expand internal knowledge.
Jupiter retrograde when connected with 7th house through
lordship, placement and aspect etc., marriage is then the
platform where the things and values of life we think we need
but those values are not really adding to our life for the expected
growth of relationship. There can be unusual delays and silent
suffering is the possibility through marriage. The idea of
retrograde Jupiter is to give the abstract results which shall be
useful for learning the philosophy of life and which is ultimate
essence of Jupiter’s signification. Jupiter in connection with 7th
house will create such circumstances in marital association that

will bring out the quest of the native to understand human
relationship and philosophical working behind it, and analysisng
and unfolding the layers of higher knowledge (gyanam) is the
end result. In higher/spiritual terms Jupiter’s retrogression and
connection with 7th house of marriage is beneficial, but not in
worldly parameters which can make the native suffer at inner
psychological level.
WHEN RETROGRADE MARS CONNECTS WITH 7th

When Mars is retrograde, the native having such Mars in
the horoscope in general may have greater urge to get what
he/she wants but there is need to slow down. The extra energy
coming from the retrogression has added the bright rays of it
and it is essential to contain this energy for the positive use. We
all know by simple logic, the abundant thing when we have that
is either wasted in futile manner or can be utilized and
channelized for the greater good of self and then the society.
As Mars represents both manas shakthi and kaama shakthi,
retrograded Mars induces action that is necessary, but what
kind? One can bring the desires in control of himself and get
empowered at personal level and master his energy by taking
controlled action. Kaama shakthi channelized by retrograded
Mars either drives the native in the rut of unending pool of
passionate desires and vulgarity or the energy is channelized
for some greater cause of humanity like animal love and fighting
against social crimes, thus making the native suffer in the
manner not to be able to get normal track of married life and
relationship at personal level. In the female horoscope she may
be liable to meet with men of extreme temperament and thus
suffer in getting normal pleasures of life.
WHEN RETROGRADE VENUS CONNECTS WITH 7 th

HOUSE-
Retrograde Venus calls for re assessment of monetary
wealth, values and wealth of talent and libido (all traits of Venus)
into question. When Venus is connected with 7th house being
in Retrograde motion, the native may get a better view of himself
in relating to others. Want for love in life and it’s intensity is
variable at different times. Extreme behavior can be expected
from the native either very high feeling of love and zest to reach
the epogee of love in relationship or the native becomes dull
and cool. This extremism is controlled by very many planetary
factors influencing Venus. With Venus retrograde, relationships
are taken very seriously, It is hard for the native to be objective
when it comes to relationships and there is great sensitivity to
ups and downs of partnership. Casual relationships are not
considered very valuable to the Venus retrograde native, and
relationships are rarely entered into lightly. There can be
emotional upheavels and results of love /marital connection can
bring out extreme results either positive or negative.
WHEN RETROGRADE MERCURY CONNECTS WITH 7th

HOUSE-
Mercury Retrogrades three times a year for three weeks
each time. This is the time your thinking needs to come back in
line with reality. Review your ideas, edit your statements, write
in your journal. This is a good time to figure things out, see things
from a more internal perspective, and decide how to proceed
so you can work and communicate more effectively. Mercury
Retrograde in the natal chart although gains in rashmi bala as
per texts, but the results pertaining to marriage can weigh heavy
on the mind of the native in whose chart it is connected in any
way to 7th house or lord. As we have understood from earlier
chapters that Mercury stands for icchha shakthi and when it is
retrograded it becomes powerful enough to act repeatedly and
thus marital associations can be many in number and yet shall
be lacking in regard to emotional gratification.
SPECIAL SUMMARY ON RAHU/KETU ‘S NATURAL

RETROGRADE MOTION-
As all retrograde planets act very strongly and bring out the
non corporal /abstract effect and so will be the case of Rahu /
Ketu. We know when both nodes operate, during their dasha,
they work on inner level and mostly the results are emotional
upheavels and major changes occur which alter the track of life.
One lands up in totally different situation and with different
standpoint in Rahu/Ketu operative periods. Either something
vital is explored or gained or something vital is lost which will
count for the lifetime.
Rahu is planet for karmic distribution and thus brings out
the pattern where future of the native will stand upon.
Ketu is planet for karmic imports and thus brings out results
lingering from the past lives to make an impact on the native at
an innately emotional level and usually stands to scar the mind
rather healing up during it’s operative period.
Unless Rahu/kethu are with yoga karaka planets and very
well placed in lagna chart or navamsa chart, they are only to
give such atmosphere where native is baffled, unable to take right
decisions and usually falls to get an emotional void ultimately.
Chapter 11
Understanding Navamsa
Connection in Marriage
THE DEFINITION OF THE NAVAMSA —

The Navamsa occupied by the Janma Lagna is called the
Navamsa Lagna or Lagnamsa. “Navamsa” also known as
Navmansh or Ninth Harmonic chart literally means “Ninth
Division of a sign”. Vedic Astrological texts as Kalyana Varma’s
Saravali, Mantreswara ‘s Phaladeepika, Baidyanath Dixit ‘s Jatak
Paarijat, Varahamihira ‘s Brihat Jatak, Parashar’s Brihat Parashar
Hora Shastra, all refer to the importance of Navamsa to judge
the strength and quality of planets in any chart.
THE EVALUATION OF THE NAVAMSA CHART-

As the D-9 chart is based on the Nakshatra Padas as one
pada of nakshatra consists of 3 deg. 20 min. and one navamsa
division is also of 3 deg. 20 minutes. Thus, navamsa will
generally indicate the native’s dharma and innate psychological
experiences and their final outcome.
As we see from lagna chart, the 9th house and it’s lord in
any horoscope are considered the most auspicious house and
lord to bestow the greatest beneficance in a chart. A strong 9th
house can often go a long way in countering the other malefic
aspects in a horoscope. The Navamsa is therefore the “fortune”
chart too. Navamsa is actually the hidden force, the invisible hand
of destiny that decides what the result of your efforts in general.
Therefore the Lagnamsa is also primarily indicative of the
psychological abilities/inner nature of the native. The planets

in trines from D-9 chart may indicate the abilities developed in
previous lives and manifesting in this life.
THE LOGIC BEHIND CONSIDERING NAVAMSA CHART IN
MARITAL MATTERS – confusions derived from texts and need
for research-
Now, consideration of navamsa as in the important texts is
like going through the tunnel of confusing ideas and reaching
light on the other end remains a distant dream however the
basic idea is correct but detailing is missed out on.
It is disheartening to any student of astrology to get such
vague portrayal of navamsa in vital texts like stree jaatakam and
many more famous texts like HORA SARA, HORA RATNAM,
MAANSAAGRI, STREE JAATAKAM and DEV KERALAM and a
host others where there is discussion about navamsa but
nothing is concrete and dependable.
Actually, almost all the topics are discussed and analysed
through navamsa and although the correctness of the slokas is
not questionable but it is so generalized way of concluding that
exactness and concrete analysis topic wise is missing and any
student can feel baffled. Let me discuss few important texts to
make my point understood.
HORA SARA gives ideas about udita navamsa which tells
the result of all twelve rashis becoming navamsa lagna. There is
no house wise or planet based illustration, but a wholesome idea
of how each of twelve signs will operate when become d-9 ascdt.
Result of mesha navamsa is –the person born in mesha
navamsa will be mischivious, base minded, thievish, of restless
mindand lustfull. [chapter xxx- sloka HINSOALPAMATI ———
———————————————- JAAYTE MANUSHYA”]
Another important text like HORA RATNAM gives us the
result of all planets being in own navamsa like Sun in Leo
navamsa, Mars in Aries or Scorpio navamsa and so on. Here the
Chapter 11: Understanding Navamsa Connection in Marriage 167
results are given like Mars if in own navamsa, native will be

torturous, unsightly in appearance skillfull in sword fighting,
devoid of virtues and bear hatred for gentle people [navamsake-
swe ——————————————- saadhujanasya nityam]
No astrologer will make out anything out of the above
depiction of own sign navamsa planet.
Another example I am taking of very vital text, YAVANA
JATAKA by sphujidhwaja. let me quote reference from chapter
33, where all planets are discussed in all seven navamsas of
seven planets.
Here again Mars is told to be a restless corruptor of other
men’s wives and Venus in own navamsa produces a rich man
having many women and enjoys drinks and and foods.
So YAVAN JAATAKA again gives us a vague idea about planets
irrespective of the various angles of their lordship, functional
role in the horoscope and house wise placement in d-9 chart.
Most valuable text like MAANSAAGRI discusses all nine
navamsas in any sign and their effect generally and again it is
devoid of variation of results depending on different signs and
swarashi navamsas and vargottam and pushkar navamsa.
In STREEJAATAKAM, mainly marriage part is emphasized
and let us check how vaguely it describes the marriage area-
— if the Mars is placed in the navamsha of Venus and Venus is
in the navamsha of Mars and both are together in main
horoscope, then such female use to remain uncontrolled and
bring much shock to whole family (due to her involvement
with others).
— if the 7th house or the navamsha both are having Aries or
Scorpio sign, then the husband has other women in his life
and also is ill-tempered.
— if she is born in Virgo or Gemini navamsha of Mercury, her
husband will be very learned and clever.
— if she is born in navamsha of Sagittarius or Pisces, her

husband will be of great merit and will have all possessions
under his control.
— if she is born in navamsha of taurus or Libra, her husband
will be fortunate, very good looking and will be liked by
women.
— if she is born in navamsha of Capricorn or Aquarius, her
husband will be like old man.
— if she is born in navamsha of leo, her husband will be
exceedingly soft in his disposition and will be very hard
working.
The list is endless concerning the texts and yogas depicted
so vaguely therein and thus –it is required to do detailing of the
whole matter and every house /every facet of horoscope needs
scrutiny to actually derive the sense of the matter and reach the
outcome of any yoga.
THE POWER OF NAVAMSA IN PREDICTION- According
to Shastras, the very base is rightfully described as Sthoolam or
apparent look is D-1 chart, Sukhsham Sharira is D-9 chart and
it should have inherent permanent strength. If Sukhsham
Sharira does not have strength and is not properly balanced,
sustaining energies for a native will be very less. Any planet
gaining strength in Navamsa multiply its power threefold. BASIC
HOROSCOPE is thus known to be a combination of two charts,
the Rasi and the Navamsa i. e. d-1 and d-9.
Considering as an example the great sage Parasara who in
the chapter
Vargavivechan adhyaya of Brihat Parasara Hora, Chap. VIII-
3) , told that the
Navamsa is to be looked into for all matters related to the
spouse.
Other texts also opine that the Lagnamsa or navamsa will
also indicate the person’s behaviour in marriage.
The logic here is that the rasi chart is the tree, navamsa chart
stands to tell if the tree is laden with fruit or not and thus known
as the ‘fruit of the tree’. It is not considered to be the chart of
‘the spouse and marriage in literal sense, rather the logic behind
is that the navamsa is the 9th divisional chart and hence relates
to our soul or ‘inner person’ denoting our purpose in life in a
spiritual /divine sense. Marriage also deals with the experiences
of the soul and links one person with the karmic connections
and deals with data of karmic concerns, there is authentic reason
to connect marital experiences with navamsa chart.
In fact, another view is that navamsa stands to represent
the second half of one’as life and deals with the mature soul’s
experiences rather than initial initiatives and efforting /learning
of first phase of life. A close examination of the whole chart is
thus important, but in particular the 1st and 7th houses and their
lords in d-1 as well as in d-9 are vital points regarding marriage
area.
It is utterly logical to get all the possible parameters applied
in d-9 chart and reach a conclusion about any area in a
horoscope.
I have tried to geather all possibilities to judge the strength
of any facet of life through d-9 keeping the base of d-1 chart
intact. (the parameters are collected from texts, books of modern
authors, western authors, as well as my personal views.)
The idea is to practically apply and test the authenticity of
abundant possibilities given in different scriptures and books
and find the real relevant points. The following parameters
reveal how to find whether any planet has enough strength or
is weak in navamsa to fulfill the promise of their positions in
Rashi Chart.
MY POINTS PERTAINING TO ROLE OF NAVAMSA IN
JUDGING MARITAL MATTERS and these parameters truly give
the correct picture regarding marriage aspects and fortune
connected with marriage.
NOTE- [In the following parameters instead of describing

time and again, well placed in d-9 will mean to be in trine to
navamsa ascdt. As we know the best placement for planet’s
growth in the signified arena is the trinal axis of navamsa lagna.
Second best placement can be earthy trine 2, 6, 10 (trines of
midheaven that is 2/6/10 houses shows material success) and
11th house of navamsa chart may be added to show growth of
the area of the planet it signifies in d-1 chart & Strength of planet
in d-9 obviously is denoted by exaltation / own sign placement
/ vargottam navamsa/pushkar navamsa status.]
Vargottama means being in same sign and Navamsa, and it
is considered to be a very strong placement. According to the
point of view of the Nadis, a Vargottama-planet works exactly
like a planet in the Ascendant, which makes it highly important.
Pushkaramsa represent Pushkara Navamsa of 3-20’ in a
Rasi which is its most ausupious part. Each Rasi has two
Pushkara Navamsa and thus their total in 12x2 = 24. These
Navamsas if are owned by the benefic planets, can predict
benefic results.
Now mutual connection between any two planets is to be
understood in the following pattern.
Trinal (1/5 axis) and sextile (3/11) relationship is best kind
of mutual connection between any two planets.
Square (4/10 axis) denotes averagely good action oriented
relationship.
Shadashtak or dwirdwadasha (6/8 axis, 2/12axis) denote
no complementary relationship mutually.
TEN RULES TO SEE RESULTS RELATED TO MARITAL

MATTERS-
1. Planet ruling ascdt. and 7th house or its dispositors in d-1
are strong or weak by strength or placement in d-9. [rules
of strength told above]
2. Strength of Venus and placement in d-9 is to be seen.

3. As from d-1 chart, lagna lord & 7th lord and Moon sign lord
&7th lord therefrom, should be mutually well placed in
navamsa too.
4. Lagna lord and 7th lord of d-1 has positive lordship in d-9
and should act as functional benefic in d-9 chart.
5. Mars/Venus and 1st lord and the 7th lord of d-9 chart, should
be mutually well connected and mutually well placed in d-
9 only.
6. How well is the placement of 7th house sign of d-1 in d-9 and
how that sign in navamsa is placed aspected by different
planets in d-9.
7. It is very vital to note the char karkattwa of 7th lord planet
of d-1 chart and where it is placed in d-9 chart from
atmakaraka navamsa that is karkamsa sign.
8. The lagna bhava sign, and lagna lord and 7th lord of D-1 chart
should not be into 6th, 8th or 12th bhava in D-9. Secondly,
6th, 8th & 12th lord of D-1 should not get associated with
lagna bhava or lagna lord of D-9. When the lagna and lagna
lord of d-9 gets associated with 6, 8 or 12 of D-1 chart, the
affliction affects the mahadasha of planets negatively at
innerlevel. One will experience many kinds of troubles and
anxieties in life.
9. Counting of nine navamsas- Counting the number of
navamsas covered by planet. (from 1-9th navamsa) here two
schools of thought are there-
First school of thought says, that as a general rule, all planets
be those in any sign are bad in 6, 8th navamsa.
Second school of thought says it should be counted precisely
sign wise.
Like — if a planet or house is in moveable sign it should
not be in 6th navamsa or 8th navamsa, if it is fixed sign it
should not to be in 4th navamsa and in dual sign it should

not be in 2nd, 4th, & 8th navamsa.
I prefer to take the second rule sign wise.
Lagna sign, 7th house sign, lagna lord and 7th lord from lagna
as well as from Moon lagna along with Mars and Venus
should be seen as to how they are placed in navamsa chart.
The more well placed significators of marriage the better
the outcome in the marriage venture shall be.
10. Naadi rule in navamsa— as applied to 7th house and lord
and Venus and Mars.
In some of the nadi rules, there is a peculiar way of judging
the navamsa position of planets. They consider the sign
occupied by the planet as a kind of navamsa-lagna for that
planet, while the sign indicated by its navamsa position
would be its actual house-position of the planet counted
from that lagna.
Therefore, if a planet is placed in Aries sign, Leo navamsa,
then it is considered to be in the 5th house and give effects
of whatever is naturally signified by 5th house.

WHAT IS IN A SYMBOL
The classic yin-yang symbol, seen more and more these
days, is a circular symbol, half-black and half-white, with a small
dot of white on the black side, and a small black dot on the white
side. This symbol is called the Tai Chi Tu.
REAL MEANING OF YIN-YANG

Origins of Yin-yang became associated with Taoism, a
religion widespread in China several hundred years before
Christ. Tao literally means ‘the path’ and it is the origin of all
things and the ultimate reality.
The forces of yin-yang arise from belief in dualism, a state

in which the universe is seemingly equally divided into two
opposing but equal forces mainly called as male and female
forces of nature which are equal and opposite in character.
When Yang stands to represent hot, dry, male, hardness,
movement and initiative, Yin symbolizes coolness, moistness,
female, darkness and receptivity. The yin and yang forces are
believed to be cyclical, moving and evolving into each other,
represented by the white dot on the black yin side of the symbol,
and by the black dot on the white yang side. Opposites actually
contain the essence of each other, and eventually merge with
each other. In this view, the universe depends on the interaction
between these two forces which arise from the Tao.
Each of us, whether male or female contains both of these
characteristics, in a healthy balance yin (the female energy)
receives intuition and inspiration from our souls and the Divine,
while yang (the masculine) acts on these inspirations. Yang is
the masculine energy of the doer and yin is feminine energy of
receptivity.
HOW TO CHECK BALANCE OF YIN-YANG IN

HOROSCOPE
In the horoscope both masculine yang and feminine yin is
represented by some ruling planets which decide the whole
persona of the native and prepare him/her for interaction with
his/her life partners and create a healthy balance with in. I am
giving below the fivefold approach to analyse the yin/yang
energy balance with in. As the journey always starts within
oneself and extends and influences in the dealing with others.
In this chapter I am considering the mutual relationship
between one male energy point and the other from female
energy point and how they give results on each mutual axis. Male
energy is yang denoted by ASCDT. SUN, MARS, LAGNA LORD,
MOON LAGNA LORD. Yin energy is denoted by MOON, VENUS,
7th HOUSE LORD AND 7th LORD FROM MOON LAGNA.
Chapter 12: Determining Balance of ‘Yin and Yang’ Energies with in Oneself 175
MUTUAL AXIS RELATIONSHIP- EXPLANATION

All the five points told above will let us understand the
balance of male energy (yang) and female energy (yin) balance
with in one’s personality and inner core of the psyche. Here we
are considering ASCDT., SUN AND MARS as yang energy
indicator and MOON AND VENUS as yin energy indicator among
planets. As the ascendant is denoting the purusha shakthi in
kaalpurusha horoscope, so ascendant lord has to be great
indicator of yang energy in oneself irrespective of the planet
whatsoever. Similarly 7th house denotes prakriti and thus lord
of 7th house represents yin energy whatever the planet is.
As Moon specifically being vital point standing for all things
connected with mental /psychological working and is
considered to be equivalent to ascendant thus the counting of
1st lord and 7th lord is also done from Moon lagna independently.
Mutual linkage between most important masculine active
energy denoted by ASCDT. AND SUN has to be in tune with
feminine energy of MOON thus creating a balanced persona. on
the other side, these two poles, unconnected create a struggle
for balance of personality at inner level of the unconscious. On
similar note, manas shakthi and kaama shakthi of MARS should
be well tuned to soft and emotional VENUS thus creating a
healthy minded native and one who is capable of progressing
and evolving in higher terms.
I am considering following mutual axis between planets and
explanation of each axis is as under-
The jurisdiction and range of aspect and conjunction
although vAries planet to planet the planetary influences do
occur with in deeptaansha range varying planet to planet, but I
have taken the mutual distance varying within 10 degrees on
either side for the purpose of convenience for my research work
on more than 400 horoscopes of married men and women.
MUTUAL 1/1 AXIS – Conjunction is formed when two
planets are approximately in the same degree of the zodiac. The
powerful conjunction however is within 1 degree but the

planetary influences do occur with in deeptaansha range (I have
cinsidered 10 degrees on either side.) The rays of astral energy
radiated by one planet in conjunction with the other, is merging
with the other making an amalgamation of two energies to
create interdependence in the matters denoted by both the
planets in the horoscope. The matters are The results denoted
by conjunctions are variable. Sometimes these conjunctions are
for good and sometimes they denote bad results.
MUTUAL 2/12 AXIS OR SEMISEXTILE- it is the aspect
formed when two planets are approximately 30 or relaxably 20-
40 degrees apart may be in same sign or in consecutive signs.
This is a feeble and inharmonious aspect. Two planets placed in
such position barely have mutual influence and it does not bring
results without much efforts. It indicates that planets placed in
this association will NOT give the native the necessary
opportunities and initiatives and thus making the results
indicated to be too slow to grow and reach the fructification.
Not a worthwhile connection between any vital planetary forces
thus giving much less fruition of goals indicated by planetary
energies.
MUTUAL 3/11 AXIS OR SEXTILE- is the aspect formed
when two planets are approximately 60 zodiacal degrees apart
(roughly 50-70 degrees apart) This is a quite harmonious aspect.
Its constructive energy brings such ability and opportunity as
are signified by the two planets. The ability to acquire the things
signified and the opportunity to do so.
MUTUAL 4/10 AXIS OR SQUARE is the aspect formed
when two planets are approximately 90 (roughly 80-100)
zodiacal degrees apart. This is a quite discordant aspect that
tends to tear up and destroy all it contacts with as per western
thought. In vedic concept too, it signifies inner war and
consequent conflict. This inner struggle between planetary
energies can bring about acute crises, and temporary periods
of delays in fruition of object signified by the two planets.
They have plenty of trials and conflicts when vital planets

are falling in this square zone. In that case attainment of
objective denoted by two planets in square connection depends
upon other factors which can compensate for the trial and
problematic condition within two planetary energies.
Overcoming obstructions, and turning the destructive energy
into constructive lines is possible with other better
compensatory conditions created by other planets.
MUTUAL 5/9 AXIS or Trine is the aspect formed when
two planets are approximately 120 (roughly 110-130) degrees
apart in the zodiac. This is the best aspect considered in both
vedic as well as in western astrology. A trine signifies not only
the abilities and opportunities bestowed by the two planets, but
also fast results come with little effort. The good that comes
through the trine comes easily and spontaneously. The abilities
so signified grow naturally rather than being acquired with
difficulty, and the opportunities are forced upon one without
being asked for.
Trines signify same element /qualities and thus fruition of
efforts and influence exerted by planetary forces comes fast and
is profitable too.
MUTUAL 6/8 AXIS OR AN INCONJUNCT is the aspect
formed when two planets are approximately 150 (roughly 140-
160) degrees apart in the zodiac. It is a neutral aspect in so far
as harmony or discord is concerned as per western thought
but in vedic concept it is always bad connectivity between any
two planetary forces. This is rather a no aspect condition. The
aspect itself has the tendency to bring the things denoted by the
two planets into some prominence, but to force them apart and
almost negligibally functional and gives extremely slow results.
MUTUAL 1/7 AXIS or THE OPPOSITION although is
considered bad in western astrology but we in vedic astrology
consider the sam saptam relation to be pooraka or on the
completion note. An Opposition is the aspect formed when two
planets are approximately 180 (roughly 170-190) zodiacal

degrees apart. Western thought is that the energies of the two
planets, when so situated, meet each other head-on, and refusing
to mingle and thus go back along the lines from which they came.
The opposition confers the quality of each of the two planets in
maximum degree. There is a constant antagonism between the
things represented by the two planets.
The vedic concept believes that mutual opposition axis
makes the results of two planets come to fruition and the
placement is activating each planetary energy fully and mutual
interaction between planets will be maximum keeping their
individual qualities intact. This combination makes and brings
the uncontrolled situations with two charged planetary energies
influencing each other to give very bulky and meaningful results.
Let me explain the balance of yin and yang energies as
applied to pivotal points in a horoscope. There is fivefold
approach to understand this concept
Theory of ‘yin yang’ energy balance in oneself through the
horoscope is applicable in following way:-
a) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of Ascendant and Moon
c) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of Mars & Venus
d) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of 1st lord & 7th lord –
e) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of 1st lord & 7th lord from
Moon sign
a) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of Ascendant and

Moon
ASCENDANT- While ascendant is discussed to look into the
whole persona, the personal energy and influence and impact
on the world in general. When ascendant or lagna is the pivotal
point of horoscope from where the whole life and all the facets
of life shall be channelized. Ascendant depicts the outer /visible
persona of the native and thus stands to represent the YANG

energy.
MOON - the Moon, natural karaka of 4th house gives clues
all about the mysterious past, memories of the unconscious, and
the emotions that those memories evoke. The native’s roots,
family background, inner emotions, conditioning and
psychological foundations are covered by natal Moon.
Moon is described as being our roots, our foundation of life.
Where as Moon depicts the inner psyche and emotional roots
thus represents the YIN energy in any horoscope.
The mutual connection between the two is of great
consideration and meaning. Here is the modus operandi of the
various mutual axis between the two as under-
ASCDT. / MOON 1/1 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART—
This axis means the conjunction of ascendant and Moon or
the Moon in the lagna. The energy of Moon will make the
physical persona of lagna prone to emotional vulnerability and
yang energy of lagna shall be subdued by Moon’s innate feminine
and psychological approach. This will be specifically true when
Moon is waxing and lagna is that of even sign. The more Moon
influences the lagna powerfully, the lesser shall be the
independence and self esteem denoted by yang energy of lagna.
There is interdependence between physical and mental
personalities.
The male or yang energy counted from lagna when becomes
12th from Moon or Moon becomes 12th there is a serious
condition caused where native is unable to handle any matter
of life with full mental alertness or the psychological weakness
will affect the decision making capacity of ascendant. Actions
taken before the world shall be different from what the inner
psyche actually conveys and this inner conflict will lessen the
capacity and self esteem denoted by lagna, even if there is
strength attached to ascendant by all means. Personality of the

native is not in harmony with emotional self denoted by Moon
thus attacking harmony of marital bonding too.
The self-expression and basic outlook on life denoted by
ascendant is found in close emotional harmony when Moon
resides in 3/11 axis of it. In this mutual axis relationship of
ascendant and Moon, there is and a good chance for the native
to maintain relationships keeping both physical and
psychological angles in tact and this trait also that helps marriage
work well. In this axis mind is integral part in dealing with
others.
This mutual axis placement of lagna and Moon creates inner
war between oneself. It causes emotional upsets and inability
to decide on and finalising the vital matters thus weakening the
yang energy of lagna. We know that mutual Kendras always go
on to explore and the result is emotional fatigue. Emotional
patterns denoted by Moon, can cause conflict with self
expression and self-image represented by lagna thus affecting
relationships and marital relationship as well.
As we have understood by now that trinal houses are always
standing for mutual harmony. Trines have same element with
in and thus ascendant and Moon sharing same element will
obviously enhance the adjustment skills between Moon’s
unconscious psychology and lagna’s conscious self expression.
There is close emotional harmony in this axis relationship, that
makes good for all lapses in dealings with others in general and
that is how marriage area shall also be benefitted.

whenever there is problem in any area of life, first of all the
problem emerges with in one’s mind frame and outer expression
comes later. So is the case with Moon placed 6th /8th from lagna
which will never allow the mind to really join hands with the
outer expressions made by physical persona denoted by
ascendant. Inner psychology always differs from what practical
activity is done or the native is made to do or act in a way not
acceptable to his/her inner heart, thus disturbing the innately
emotional patterns of the personality. This incompatible linkage
of lagna and Moon also reflects through in marital area making
the going tough for the native.
The ascendant being expression of yang or masculine
energy, should and must find the emotional rapport from Moon
by being harmoniously placed from it. This is the axis when
there is complete utilization of mental energy and physical
energy both and thus the yang and yin both energies find their
expressions to the best of their capacities. The marriage area
shall also be dealt with full energy and attention both at physical
as well as mental and emotional plane. Waxing Moon shall
empower this yoga more.
b) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of Sun-Moon –
SUN— The Sun represents the life energy and singularity
of the self. In vedic astrology, Sun also acts as ascendant that
means it becomes a pivotal point from where the beginning and
the thrust of the identity is controlled and channelized. In detail
of the matter it is clear that identification of soul in higher realm,
depends on strength of Sun who is representative of soul and
who is at exalted state in Aries the first house of the kaal purusha
horoscope. The position of Sun in a sign or house allows the
identity of soul to get energy and traits of that sign and shine
and assume power and identification through the natural
signification of that very sign.
MOON— Moon on the other hand, represents the inner

psychological patterns and those inner traits are brought
through the characteristics of that sign which contains Moon at
the moment of birth. Mutual connectivity of these two signs
containing both Sun and Moon speak a lot about maturity and
prudence of soul in interacting with related persons at small
scale and with the world at larger scale.
People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of
their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and
the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle
to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form
meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships
can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict
is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with each mutual
axis placement between Sun and Moon let us understand how
the whole concept operates considering each axis one by one-
SUN MOON 1/1 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART-
The Moon is naturally/ emotionally in tune with the Sun
but by conjunction, Sun Moon conjoined in the natal chart
suggests a strong-willed individual who is also quite comfortable
with him- or herself, which is helpful for focus and
concentration, but can be challenging in partnerships because
of a self-reliant and individualistic personality as Sun will here
overpower Moon. In intimate relationships, there is a decided
lack of flexibility in the nature of the native having this
conjunction that can be frustrating. In this conjunction, there
is some tendency for the Sun to dominate the Moon’s
emotionalism to a considerable degree as Moon is likely to be
combust. But the effects will be better if Moon is ahead of Sun
and free from combustion. There is an indication of a
considerably good potential for marriage as well as romantic
relationship provided it is checked if Moon is deeply combust
or free from combustion.
SUN MOON 2/12 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART -

As there is no linkage between solar and lunar energies, it
tends to give very stressful periods of struggle with oneself for
identification as well as for emotional expressions. Sun-Moon
in 2/12 axis affect all dealings with the outer world and specially
the intimate relations will suffer. This is a combination where
yang energy of Sun is acting separately with no emotional
support or rapport from yin energy of Moon. The native can go
into depressive phases when weak Moon is operative without
masculine support of self esteem and when Sun is weak and
Moon is powerful in the horoscope, the native is swayed by
emotional mirages and thus suffers without yang energy of
power/independence of self denoted by Sun. In operative dasha
of strong Sun native can be extremely independent /dominatind
without necessary emotional considerations. Hence the overall
inner conflict is the result affecting the relationships.
This is an aspect considered very good for developing
cooperative and understanding skills with in the native. This is
a very good combination for family and domestic relationships.
The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than
normal as mutual 3/11 axis linkage is showing innate tendency
of friendliness. Overall a good comination denoting a positive
potential for marital alliance with good interdependence
between yin and yang energies denoted by Moon and Sun
respectively.
As we know, the planets falling at right angles to each other
are in square and suggests an internal “war” between the two.
Here Sun and Moon are equally powerful desires: the desire for
autonomy and the desire for emotional commitment
respectively. The native can be quite defensive while dealing with
others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in
personal relationships.
This is a difficult combination for family, marital, and

romantic relationships. the adversity of the square can denote
somewhat challenging situations. As square aspects denote
hidden inimical approach which means if apparently one feels
in tune with his/her mind but there will be some deep-seated
emotional difficulties and many compromises are needed to
pursue relationships.
This is one of the finest combinations showing a great
potential for a successful romantic relationship or marriage.
The interaction in marital relationship can have a pleasant flow.
When the Sun and Moon are in 5/11 relation, the native is likely
to be accepting, strong-willed as well as cordial in pursuing
romantic/ marital associations and is most likely to feel positive
vibes from others too. There is no chance of feeling hurt by
others. There can be a tendency for the native to expect to get
what he or she wants, simply because the desire nature is at
peace within him- or herself. The yang energy of Sun is
complementing the yin energy of Moon containing same
elements through signs. However, The nature of the relationship
tends to take on the flavor of the element (earth, fire, air or water)
within which these bodies (both Sun and Moon) stay.
Sun in no aspect to Moon in the natal chart suggests an
individual who seems to live life constantly making adjustments
at emotional plane as is clear that one has to go through mental
sufferings at different points of time. Either there is tendency
to give too much or there is feeling of being taken advantage of
by others and result is feeling of being alone at mental plane.
The native can be unexpressive and undervalues his or her
emotional needs thus sometimes making him/her indecisive,
unstable and unfocused. The native needs to work on
strengthening Moon in his or her personality in order to feel
whole and to avoid bickering in relationships with self-defeating
attitudes. There seems to be no synchronization between yang

and yin energies thus when masculine yang energy operates
through Sun, it lacks the undercurrent of emotions and when
feminine yin energy operates through Moon, the self expression
is lacking in overall dealings and behavior patterns.
This aspect in marital relationship, can be positive on the
whole as Sun’s dynamic quality tends to give way to Moon which
denotes female energy and feelings, Thus, there is balance of
solar and lunar energies which makes the native having this
combination, more analytical in relationships. In fact, natives
with such aspect in their chart, have more clarity of vision than
others and are always willing to work out any problem in
communication with others This is because such native’s basic
instinct is to learn and grow through relationships. Both yang
and yin energies are at peace with each other and yang
influencing yin and vice versa with equal force not disturbing
the independent traits of the other.
c) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of Mars & Venus –
MARS - Owing to monitoring of Mars over vital matters it
holds importance as a planet for energy and also for logic and
intellect. In natural zodiac, Mars rules Aries sign which is always
bubbling with qualities of cosmic current that determine the
will and desire for sexual pleasures. If we understand the
kaalapurusha horoscope we should be able to surmise that Mars
stands for vital force in a human being. As 1 st house is
represented by Mars as ruler for sign Aries this ascendant is
pivotal point in a horoscope stands for ‘purusha’ which is to
represent the energy and life force in a human being. The
scintillating dynamic and vibrant energy of kundalini lie
dormant in the spinal cord and same can be activated through
joint application of ‘manas shakti’ and ‘kaama shakthi’ (Aries
and Scorpio) having common lordship of Mars. In vedas it is
named as ‘angaraka’ perhaps because it looks in the dome of
sky like a lamp of blazing coal and is also said to be rajo guni
and a source of strength, power, activity, ambition and force. In
one of the slokas on Mars, it is treated as something keeping a
ball of fire in it’s mouth.
“Agnimurdha divah kakut pati pruthivyaham
Apam retasi jinavasi”
Agnimurdha is with a head made of fire. Fire here
symbolizes three types of fires when we talk about human
beings.
- jatharagni — fire due to hunger.
- krodhagni — fire of anger
- kaamagni — fire in sexual acts
In the context of above said sloka -
MARS is male in character. It germinates and fertilizes
(jinavasi) the ovum (apam) of women for the purpose of
intercourse (retasi). Varaha mihira in ‘Brihata Jataka’ and kalyan
verma in ‘Saravali‘holds Mars responsible for menstruation in
women. With connection between male Mars representing hot
blood and female Moon make women capable for copulation and
conception. ‘Jataka parijata’ terms Mars as male, sexy energetic
and lustful in the following sloka—
‘Kaami tamogunaratastu dharakumarah’
Sarvarth chintamani—describes Mars as planet of prowess
given to sexual pleasures as in sloka—
‘Bhowmah prataapi ratikilolaha’
Hence it is clear that role of Mars in procreation is vital.
All these factors make Mars an extremely vital planet in
human life span as it will decide the course of present life and
the quality and content of our actions.
Therefore it can be rightly surmised that strength of Mars
has to be watched carefully in the horoscope to make
judgements about a person in totality of his/her actions

specifically, in the area of marital associations, sexual drives and
desires as primarily Mars will show it’s outlet of positive /
negative energies via the area of relationships and approach
towards understanding about these things.
VENUS- [About Venus and it’s role in marital matters refer
to chapter 3]
Understanding the Connectivity Between Mars and Venus-
When first house represents purusha shakti or vital force
and 7th house stands for prakriti and is for dissipation of same
energy. Hindu philosophy says manifestation of ethereal soul
into material body is through interaction between purusha and
prakriti. Purusha is Aries lord Mars and prakriti is represented
by Libra. Libra sign is seat of muladhar chakra which is first to
be activated for kundalini awakening. Scorpio being next to
Libra becomes the accumulated strength of kundalini to sustain
this energy in the acts of manifestation.
Mars as representative of lagna, gives us strong self-
discipline, and denotes our ability to meditate depending upon
it’s quality and location in the natal chart. Mars gives us the
ability to follow the spiritual light within, and is often, in my
humble opinion, the planet most responsible for the spiritual
advancement or enlightenment. As Mars represents the
Manipur chakra in the naval, hence it also gives us the will to
bring the energy of the kundalini from our stomachs to our
hearts, where the Venus chakra resides, and where we actually
experience spiritual bliss for the first time, according to Yogic
theory. various activities ruled by Mars owing to MANAS
SHAKTHI AND KAAMA SHAKTHI, actually contain meditative
procedures and this meditative energy when reaches anahat
chakra –ruled by Venus, is also transformed into spiritual bliss.
Significations of the planet Venus is, at the lower level,
responsible for material happiness, but, at the higher level, is
also responsible for spiritual bliss.
As here in this chapter, I am trying to highlight the Aries

and Libra connectivity and interaction between these two signs
brings forth the crux in the form of resultant spiritual experience
of the soul. Libra’s astrological symbol itself reveals that Venusian
energy through Libra gives balance in life. In relationships, the
tendency of Venus is to give back what they have been given.
Libra energy reacts to everything with intellectual orientation
and every romantic/emotional experience of the soul is
visualized and sorted as mental exercise and Venus gets all the
psychological pleasure from beauty in all forms. Venusian energy
through qualities of Libra the natural 7th house, turns raw energy
produced by Mars into aesthetic pleasure by intellectual rapport
and physical attraction between the marital partners. This
aesthetic pleasure can turn into divine delight of the soul and
all this will depend greatly on how Mars and Venus are
interconnected in the horoscope. All the possible mutual
linkages are discussed as follows:-
MARS/VENUS 1/1 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART-
Venus and Mars are mutually conjunct in this axis. This is
the strong indicator for sexual attraction that is attraction
towards opposite gender. This connection between two most
vital poles of love and attraction, leads to more sensitive heart
where romantic feelings are easily aroused. All passions and
desires of Mars are accompanied by love of Venus and Venusian
feelings are accompanied by physical charms too. In any way,
there is likely to be much passion and excitement in the native
having this axis to pursue marital relationship.
As we know, 12th from any place indicates loss of that
particular thing, so Mars and Venus mutually on 2/12 axis
indicate the loss of connectivity of each other’s characteristics.
This is a feeble and inharmonious aspect. Two planets placed in
such position barely have mutual influence and it does not bring
results without much efforts. It indicates that the energy of Mars

will not find the necessary assistance from Venus to really grow
in experience. Both the energies will lie latent in the native and
there can be dearth of initiatives in the direction of fructification
of desires. Not a worthwhile connection between yang and yin
energies thus giving much less fruition of goals.
This is quite harmonious aspect. This aspects suggests much
initiatives and opportunities for sexual and romantic
involvement. The effect of Venus on Mars will be helpful in the
area making all moves and actions on a more harmonious note.
Mars, on the other hand, will provide help to Venus to become
productive and action oriented. The constructive mutual
distance controlling the vibrations of both yang and yin energy
produced through Mars and Venus respectively, thus improves
the ability to acquire the things signified and the opportunities
to do so.
MARS/VENUS 4/10AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART-
In vedic concept as well as in western thought, this much
degrecal distance between any two planets signifies inner war
and consequent conflict. Here the inner struggle between yang
martian energy with yin energy of Venus can bring about acute
emotional chaos and crises, and temporary periods of delays in
fruition of object signified by the two planets.
The native having Mars Venus on 4/10 axis will go through
plenty of trials regarding pursual in relationships. sexual
attraction can be strong due to Mars aspecting Venus but there
will be no mutual consideration and genuine attachment. The
positive outcome in a marital relationship shall greatly depend
upon other factors which can compensate for the trial and
problematic condition with in these most important planetary
energies.

This is the best aspect considered in both vedic as well as
in western astrology. A trine signifies not only the abilities and
opportunities bestowed by the two planets, but also such favors
come with very little effort. This is one of the best aspect for
sexual compatibility. Trines signify same element /qualities and
thus fruition of efforts and influence exerted by martian forces
come fast and is in tune with emotional vibrations of Venus and
outcome is thus profitable too. There is likely to be a strong
romantic attraction coupled with emotional assistance to pursue
the goal. Thus it is ideal mutual axis placement to really feel the
vibes of love and get harmony in return.
This is the aspect or mutual distance which neutralises
harmony between any two planetary forces. There is no
influence exerted upon each other. As per vedic concept, it is
always bad connectivity between any two planetary forces. This
is rather a no aspect condition. Thus the yang energy of Mars
will lie latent or unutilized by Venus and so the yin energy of
Venus stands unused by Mars. Result is no prominent outcome
is possible in matters signified by both Mars and Venus. This
connection is almost negligibally functional and gives extremely
slow results.
individual qualities intact. This combination makes and brings
the uncontrolled situations with two charged planetary energies
influencing each other to give very bulky and meaningful results.
This mutual distance with in Mars and Venus, indicates intense
sexual and romantic attractions. There is persisting
possessiveness, and a lack of diplomacy in the relationship. Mars,
in this placement, tends to be overly impressionable as it is

independent to act in his full caliber and Venus here is often
supersensitive or over exerting emotionally. Both planets
exercise influence and necessary control over each other and
thus makes it a very exciting and sexually stimulating placement.
d) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of 1st lord & 7th lord–
About lagna and 7 th house and their connection with
marriage we have dealt with in previous chapters. Thus
considering their mutual axis placement here under is the
explanation-
1st LORD AND 7th LORD ON 1/1 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART-
This is very harmonious conjunction. The vital force of life
represented by lagna and the 7th lord which represents the
necessary atmosphere and opportunities to that force, are
sharing same platform to operate and experience through same
elemental energy of the sign and house of placement. They both
are complementing and making good for each other for full
manifestation of the soul. Purusha and prakriti, shiva’s force and
shakthi are acting in togeatherness to really bring a positive
and worthwhile output.
This is a feeble and inharmonious connection rather two
planets are in no connection state. When lagna’s force is not
influencing, not interacting and not dependent on the force of
shakthi which gives can completion to it, then vital energy of
life governed by lagna suffers and is unable rather denied by
nature to get necessary experience to enrich itself. Two most
important and result oriented planets lagna lord and 7th lord
placed in such position barely have mutual influence and so this
association will not give the native the necessary opportunities
to really come across association/interaction with marital
partners and desires fructification shall be too slow a process
to be accounted for.
1stLORD AND 7th LORD ON 3/11 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART-

This is quite harmonious connection and its constructive
energy brings such ability and opportunity to bring together
the two most vital planets so that the interaction between them
can bring about something really worthwhile. This degreecal
distance provides essential opportunities to both lagna’s
representative and 7th lord who is representing the platform for
lagna’s force to operate upon and hence giving both the planets,
the ability to acquire the things signified and the opportunity
to do so.
In vedic as well as according to western concept too, this
mutual distance between two planetary forces signifies inner
war and consequent conflict. This inner struggle between vital
planetary energies of lagna lord and 7th lord can bring about
extra efforts to pursue the alliance matter and still crises in any
kind of joint ventures may arise, and periods of delays are certain
in fruition of objectives of mutual interest signified by the these
two planetary energies. Plenty of trials and conflicts arise
whenever such person with this combination sets out to go for
a marriage pursual or negotiation in this regard. Much will
depend upon other factors which can compensate for the trial
and problematic condition here.
This is very positive and harmonious aspect/connection.
Trines signify same element/qualities and thus fruition of
efforts and influence exerted by planetary forces comes fast and
is profitable too.
The constructive energy created by this mutual distance,
brings such ability and opportunity as is signified by the lagna’s
vital force as well as 7th lord’s sexual energy or kaama shakthi
so that two planets can really interact and their mutual
interdependence brings out the desired result to enrich the soul
with good and benefic experience. There shall be ample
opportunities to get involved in partnerships/marriage and easy

pursual of alliance can fill the native ‘s heart with contentment
quite early in life. Goodness will come spontaneously in mutual
give and take between the marital partners.
It is a neutral aspect in so far as harmony or discord is
concerned as per western thought but in vedic concept it is
always bad connectivity between any two planetary forces. This
is rather a no aspect condition. The no aspect condition between
lagna lord and 7th lord itself has the tendency to virtually put a
stop to bring the association into prominence, rather this
condition will try to force the partners apart so that the duo/
couple concerned is almost negligibally functional and gives
extremely slow results. Marital delays, denial of marital bliss and
separation are key results this mutual distance brings about.
individual qualities intact. This combination of lagna lord and
7th lord makes and brings the uncontrolled situations with two
charged planetary energies influencing each other to give very
effective and meaningful results. The native having such
combination has the vital force of him finding easy opportunities
to interact with members of opposite gender to really get
enriched with positive experience. The native can still maintain
the independence of the purusha inside him and have a
comfortable and stimulating dealing with marital partner
brimming with love and attraction.
e) Horoscopic (sign wise) placement of 1st lord & 7th lord
from Moon sign
This is to be taken exactly in the same way as we have dealt
with lagna lord and 7th lord therefrom. Here Moon sign shall be
taken to be the lagna and 7th house and lord is counted from
Moon sign. I am not taking each and every axis separately.
However in my research I have found the Moon lagna ‘s
importance operating in equal measure to lagna. The 1st lord
and 7th lord from Moon lagna will be giving similar results and
should be understandable in same manner as the 1st lord and 7th
lord’s mutual axis from ascendant itself.
INFERENCE - In the above chapter, based on mutual axis
relationship, actually the planets are treated as per the mutual
distance between them to see the mutual goodwill of planetary
energies creating harmony with in oneself.
The whole point is about considering the mutual harmony
between two complementary poles. For instance, ascdt. and the
7th lord are complementary to each other and so are Mars and
Venus (being on 1/7 axis in natural zodiac) and so the 1/7 lords
from Moon lagna. Mutual goodwill of two concerned planets with
in oneself is denoted through balance of yang energy of :
(i) Ascdt. & Moon
(ii) Sun & Moon
These two points of mutual axis [ASCDT. /MOON AND SUN/
MOON] denote the perceptions of a native about the process
and outcome of a relationship while finding a mate. These are
natural balance within oneself to actually be able to pursue
practical alliance matter with some member of the opposite
gender.
Mutual goodwill and inner balance between two
complementary poles denoted by two planets one standing for
yang energy and other for yin (female) energy, [MARS/VEN.,
1st L - 7th L]. This outcome will be dependent on practical dealings
with opposite gender. This is to see if the requirement criterion
of native is met with properly through delaing with partner from
opposite gender so as to really compensate the missing part of
native’s personality and thus empowering his/her ego.
REMARKS:—In my research on more than 400 horoscopes

of male and female natives, I have found these mutual planetary
axis in individual horoscopes working effectively to bring out
the quality of marital associations. I collected the data of married
couples and made three groups.
1. couples with high compatibility
2. couples with average compatibility
3. couples with low compatibility
All the yogas to be seen in individual horoscopes, I applied
and found that mostly in couple cases with high compatibility,
both husband and wife are having mutual axis, of the ascendant/
Moon, Sun/Moon, Mars/Venus, Lagna lord/7th lord both from
lagna sign and Moon sign in tune with my analysis.
I will explain precisely :-
NOTE: In my research work maximum number of divorce
case there is occurring the 6/8 axis or 2/12 axis between Mars
and Venus. In both male/female natives with high and averagely
compatible marriages, there is high percentage of 5/9 axis, and
also 3/11 axis and in lowly compatible cases or divorced cases,
male and female natives have a higher percentage of 6/8 axis,
2/12 axis and interestingly most of female horoscopes with
broken marriages have come out to have the 4/10 axis
pertaining to 1st lord/7th lord both from lagna sign as well as
from Moon sign.
Chapter 13
Determining Relationship
Potential in the Individual
Natal Chart in New
Perspectives
Following are pivotal points in a horoscope to denote the

potential to form and maintain relationships.
a) Checking the dominating elements.
b) Checking the dominating quality.
c) Judgement of temperament through placement of planets
in male /female signs
d) Moon and Venus as personal planets explain about
emotional pattern
My viewpoint is all about making judgement of the native’s
potential for a marital life in individual horoscope –
To analyse this potential/capacity in a human being, I shall
cover all possible facets and assess the role of all signs & planets
in context with 7th house in individual horoscopes.
As per the norm of human psychology, one must love himself
/herself first before he/she can love others in a healthy way.
In relationship of marriage, it is imperative to analyse the
potential in each native and for that, the native’s natal chart gives
clues. By reading one’s natal chart, we can see exactly what we
Chapter 13: Determining Relationship Potential in the Individual Natal Chart 197
expect from our relationships and what potential partner we

are looking forward to while dealing with others.
Astrology is all about analyzing the probabilities that a soul
will likely to go through while interacting with different other
souls in this lifetime. Therefore as per karma theory, one has to
interact with the people with whom one has the karmic
connection pending from previous births and whatever
experience is geathered by these interactions is reflected
through the individual chart of the native. When two individuals
meet, their chances of a compatible relationship depend on how
their basic needs and personality traits will combine mutually
in interactions.
The emphasis has to be on basic needs, potential and
tendencies of a person. Primary factor is that of judging the
requirements of one and to how much extent that criterion is
fulfilled by the marital partner comes as a secondary factor.
Now, the point is to find the main significator planets to be
watched for.
ASCENDANT being physical entity of one, has to have vital
role in relationships. We know that the Ascendant defines the
DESCENDANT that is the 7th house, which is a highly sensitive
relationship point in the natal chart. Thus, in marriage matter,
specifically the following SIGNIFICATOR PLANETS, are to be
watched for.
LAGNA LORD & 7th LORD
MARS & VENUS
ASCDT. & 7th HOUSE
LUMINARIES SUN & MOON
Secondary role will be of Mars signs Aries and Scorpio and
to Tauras and Libra the two signs owned by Venus, for some
clues about relationship needs. So, besides, looking into the
condition of Venus and Mars, the position of their natural signs
in the natal chart are to be watched for.
The ruler of the seventh house is the shadow planet as per

Jungian theory and thus also shows facets of the native’s
personality that are strongly played out through marital
relationships. we are to check the influence of other planets and
houses that this 7th lord generates via P A C (placement, aspects
and conjunction).
By looking at one person’s chart, and measuring the
distance in degrees from that person’s planets to the other
planets in his/her chart, we can make certain predictions about
where the strengths and weaknesses in the area of relationships
with others. First of all one feels the drive and enthusiasm, needs
as per his/her innate psychic pattern then the native moves on
to relate to the other one. whether and what problems the native
will deal with in a particular involvement his own horoscope
will Give the first hand information.
It’s a noted fact that our marital partners make up for the
lack of traits in our own personalities. Relationships can be the
most vital learning experiences about ourselves if we act
honestly in self analysis.
Potential to get into and pursue dealing with others is called
as relationship. As we know the lagna is house of self and 7th is
house standing for the others. it is of utmost importance to get
to know how we perceive about a person, how we deal and
expect and thus indulge in give and take in a relationship with
other person denoted by 7th house.
RELATIONSHIP POTENTIAL IN A HOROSCOPE IS

SHOWN THROUGH FOLLOWING POINTS-
a) Checking the dominating elements.
b) Checking the dominating quality.
c) Judgement of temperament through placement of planets
in male /female signs
emotional pattern
a) Checking the dominating elements— A predominance of

one element speaks of what the native brings in to the
relationship. In doing the judgement in individual horoscope
of any native, first notice which element he/she has the
predominance of planets in.
More than three planets among above told six significators
in one element would constitute a predominance of that
element in any horoscope, as per my opinion.
Predominance of Fire signs brings enthusiasm /passion to
the relationship.
Predominance of Earth signs denotes stabilizing /prudent
approach to the relationship.
Predominance of Air signs denotes intellectual approach to
relationship.
Predominance of Water signs will flood the relationship
with deep emotionalism.
b) Checking the dominating quality:- It is also vital to note
how many of planets are in the Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable
signs. A dominance of planets in one quality (more than
three planets in a cardinal, fixed, or mutable sign) tells, how
someone is likely to act in a relationship. For example:
A person with a dominance of Cardinal signs makes one
good at initiating a relationship and is active at pursual of
alliance matter.
A person with a dominance of Fixed signs is more likely to
be stubborn /watchful/thoughtful and a bit slower in
pursuing an alliance.
A person with a dominance of Mutable/common signs is
persuadable and adaptable and are of compromising nature.
c) Judgement of temperament through placement of
planets in male /female signs
As per the concept of Ardhanaarishwar, the horoscope

should be equally balanced in energies masculine as well
as feminine. It is important to note how the planets are
distributed among the masculine and feminine signs in any
individual chart. If one has almost equal distribution of
planets in male/female signs, He/she should have no trouble
getting along well in partnership with opposite gender.
Masculine: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius (all the
Fire and Air signs)
Feminine: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and
Pisces (all the Earth and Water signs)
If the vital planets/ significators are placed in odd signs the
individual will be more demanding and less giving in marital
association.
Notable point here is that a native having more significator
planets in a single gender may find it difficult to be in a
comfortable relationship.
emotional pattern:- As Moon stands for general
psychological pattern and Venus is natural 7th lord and thus
has to be in tune with mental set up denoted by Moon sign
in the horoscope.
Mutual aspectual relationship between Moon and Venus
does speak of the emotional /psychological well being of
the native which greatly influences marital association. No
aspect /linkage between any two planetary energies has a
better saythan Moon /Venus linkage when emotional
pattern is to be depicted as Moon (mind) and Venus
(desires) affect the inner psychology and act as two sensitive
pillars of the horoscope.
The favourable connectivity between these two pillars
denotes fine tuning between mind and desires.
I will try to explain every kind of linkage and it’s impact in

human relationships. It is logical to consider this Moon
Venus axis which particularly governs relationship pattern
as MOON is general mind and VENUS speak of needs in a
relationship. Their mutual connection obviously have
capacity to gives easy and successful negotiations and most
likely at early age depending upon other favourable
planetary pattern.
VENUS MOON 1/1 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART denotes
vulnerable romanticism-
Venus Moon conjunct in the natal chart denotes easily
influencable or seducable personality. When we see personal
planets, especially the Moon and Venus, connected via
conjunction, the native is high on desires connected with love
and has some problems regarding self esteem and confidence.
These people can easily allow themselves to be seduced or taken
advantage of. Moon-Venus people are doubly passionate /
emotional who can be easily befooled in the name of love. They
generally are quite sensitive and often somewhat dependent on
their partners.
VENUS MOON 2/12 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART denotes
frigid emotions-
Two most sensitive poles denoting feelings and desires tend
to have no mutual connectivity by being in 2/12 axis. It means
there are some kind of psychological handicaps in matters of
the heart and there will also be delays in preparing oneself for
the marital negotiations and pursual of matters of the heart.
Additionally, one may not feel the emotional vibes while
pursuing an alliance with members of opposite sex as Moon
standing for emotional set up is not showing any connection
with passionate desires and love. The other factors are of special
value here like how the dispositors of Moon and Venus are
placed mutually and other factors denoting marriage should be
well placed and strong for compensation of this negative yoga
of Moon Venus on 2/12 axis.
VENUS MOON 3/11 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART -denotes

emotional stimulation-
As sextile linkage of any two planets stands for mutual
goodwill and friendliness and those traits denoted by two
interconnected planets like Moon governing mind set and
emotional traits and Venus standing for desires and romance
obviously energise the native with high emotionalism coupled
with romantic charms. This attitude will certainly reflect in his/
her marital association and lead the native work towards healthy
and romantic and fulfilling association.
VENUS MOON 4/10 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART- denotes
inner difficulty-
As we know, square aspect denotes hidden enemy as per
the dictum of western as well as in tajik rules. on the same
pattern Moon standing for mental set up and Venus showing
desire pattern in a native having 4/10 axis has to give a difficult
time dealing with one’s sentimental and psychological
experiences. Frustration in matters of the heart are a must when
native has this combination. Grief and delays/break ups in
relationships is not ruled out.
VENUS MOON 5/9 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART –denotes
considerate love
This is one of the best combinations for a romantic and
positive approach towards relationships. One really desires and
enjoys the company of his/her partner. The native is also
sexually attractive and have a sympathetic, emotional approach
towards others. He/she has an attitude of mutual consideration
and kindness in relationships.
VENUS MOON 6/8 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART- denotes lack
of harmony
With a Moon-Venus shadashtak position mutually (6/8) ,
one’s emotions (Moon) and love nature (Venus) are difficult to
blend. The native thus has such a mind set as to go for separately
satisfy the needs of his emotionalism/romanticism represented

by Moon (by placement sign & house wise, and aspect) and the
needs of Venus (by placement sign & house wise, and aspect).
The romantic dealings will lack the mental involvement and
emotional concerns denoted by Moon shall have no vibes of
attraction. This will play out in a variety of ways, depending on
the individual involved, and depending on what the Moon and
Venus represent, by way of their position and what houses they
rule in the chart. In general this is not a positive combination
for early and easy pursual of marriage. The other factors are of
special value here like how the dispositors of Moon and Venus
are placed mutually and other factors denoting marriage should
be well placed to make good for the lack of harmony in emotions
and romance.
VENUS MOON 1/7 AXIS IN THE NATAL CHART -denotes
highly romantic mind-
As in astrology, 7th house stands for projections onto other
person you are dealing with and as Venus is looked for marriage
concerns and denotes our libido, it can be safely said that Moon
on 7th house to Venus in the natal chart, one will surely project
his/her own emotional/ state onto others, and, as a result,
experience warm love as well as look for much warmth and
emotionalism in marriage /intimate relationships.

Marriage – Timing Through

Astrology
NOTE:- I have dealt very briefly with yogas of delay/denial

and early marriage as well as timing of marriage in this chapter
for the reason that I have already started with the different book
on the same topic ‘MARRIAGE & TIMING THROUGH
ASTROLOGY’. In that book I will give all details about early
marriage yogas, delays and reasoning behind the delays and
denials, love marriages and failures of love marriages and timing
of marriage based on various conditional dashas besides
vimsottari dasha and transit principles will be analysed too.
So in this book under this chapter I shall be just touching
the above told topics grossly.
My analysis about promise of marriage, delay/denial of
marriage and timing of marriage is as under. I am quoting yogas
which have proven to be very effective in my study and
experience.
a) PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AT EARLY/ RIGHT AGE
b) COMBINATIONS OF DELAYS /DENIAL OF MARRIAGE
c) TIMING OF MARRIAGE
Chapter 14: Marriage – Timing Through Astrology 205
a) PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AT EARLY/ RIGHT

AGE –
Question arises about the right age for marriage. Well, in
ancient times there was tradition of BAAL VIVAAH’ which was
marriage before attaining the age of puberty for girls and boys
both. It was considered a vital samskara to get rid of pittra rina.
With time age of marriage was considered appropriate for girls
just after attaining puberty and now a days too, in some
backward rural areas, right age for girls is between 15-20 yrs.
and for boys 18-24 yrs approximately. In urban areas, however
the appropriate age for girls is from 20-28 and for boys it is 24-
30. Thus roughly we can consider till 28 it is considered right
and normal age for marriage.
After 28 years of age, there start operating the delaying
factors. Hereunder I am giving some authentic and well proven
yogas for marriage at right age. The age of marriage will vary
with more or less number of similar combinations in his/her
natal chart.
1. 7th house and lord in fruitful sign (fruitful signs are- water
triplicity consisting of CANCER, SCORPIO AND PISCES.
TAURAS, LIBRA, SAGGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN are semi
fruitful signs)
2. 7th house and lord from Moon sign in fruitful sign [specially
true if Moon is waxing and is functional benefic in the chart]
3. Mars and Venus in fruitful signs.
4. Mars and Venus on mutual trinal 1/5 axis or sextile 3/11
axis in individual natal chart.
5. lagna lord connected to 7 th house or lord via p.a.c.

6. 1st lord and 7th lord in mutual trinal 1/5 axis or sextile 3/11
axis.
7. 1st lord and 7th lord from Moon lagna are at mutual trinal 1/

VITAL PARAMETERS FROM NAVAMSA-
13. Navamsa rashi of lagna sign and 7th sign, have a strong and
benefic planet in it.
14. 7th lord’s placement sign in navamsa is in 1, 5, 9 or 3, 7, 11
house of D-9 chart.
15. 7th lord of d-1 becoming functional benefic and strong in d-
9.
16. The 7th house sign and 7th lord’s placement sign of d-1 chart
should be in trines in navamsa chart.
17. The Mars and Venus should have mutual 5/9 axis in d-9
chart of the native.
18. The lagnesha and 7th lord of d-1 should have mutual 5/9
axis in d-9 chart of the native.
VITAL PARAMETERS FROM JAIMINI SYSTEM –
As in analysis through Jaimini system, I have considered
these pivots regarding marriage –
b) Dara karaka and 7th house therefrom
c) Karkamsa lagna and 7th house therefrom
d) Sign where there is Pada for darakaraka planet falls

Let us see how each pivotal point signifies and influences
marriage.
1. LAGNA PADA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT
The method of LAGNA PADA calculation is-
As many signs from the asdt. Lord is away from the ascdt.,
houses are counted then that sign which is arrived at is
called as the pada / arudha of acsdt.
Promise of marriage shall be there at right/prime age, when
— If 7th house from lagna pada is in an angle or a trine, in
natal chart there shall be early marriage.
— there is natural benefic planet is placed in the sign
where lagna pad/7th axis falls.
— there is putrakaraka planet or darakaraka planet is
placed in that sign of lagna aarudha or 7th house.
— there is yogakaraka planet placed on this axis.
— lagna pada sign lord and1/7 axis lords from here,
should be in trines and well strengthened in shad bala.
2. DARA PADA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT-
Dara pada is counted in similar way as lagna pada but from
7th house.
Promise of marriage shall be there at prime age, when –
— there is natural benefic planet is placed in the sign
where dara pad/7 axis falls.
— there is putrakaraka planet is placed in that sign or 1/
7 axis from dara pada sign.
— there is yogakaraka planet placed on this axis.
— If dara pada or sign lord of dara pada falls in trinal

houses of horoscope the results about marriage will
come much easily and fast.
3. UPAPADA AND 7th HOUSE FROM IT-

UPA-PADA is arudha of 12th house counted in similar way
as the lagna arudha is counted for. Upapada house and 7th
house from here are to be dealt in same way as the lagna
pada and dara pada houses are handled regarding good or
bad effects in marital area.
— Some benefic /yogakaraka planet placed on this axis.
— Putrakaraka or darakaraka planet placed in two houses.
— Atma karaka or amatyakaraka planets placed here.
— Upa –pada lagna should fall in trines of the horoscope.
— Upa- pada lagna lord should be in trines and well
strengthened in shad bala.
4. DARA KARAKA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM

Daara kaaraka i. e. Planet with the least longitude excluding
signs is called daara karaka. Daara karaka is char karaka
typical of jaimini system. It is planet with least longitude and
it is considered for making predictions regarding marital
life.
— Dara karaka planet should be in benefic houses [1, 2, 3,
5, 7, 9, 11].
— Dara karaka planet should be placed in trines in
navamsa chart for best results.
— Dara karaka planet should be placed in own sign or
exalted sign.
— Dara karaka planet should be placed in own or exalted

sign in navamsa chart.
5. KARKAMSA LAGNA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM
Karkamsa is the Navamsa sign of Atmakaraka planet and
that sign becomes pivotal point and act as karkamsa lagna.
this lagna has key role in overall success in life. This axis
holding following good indications can bring about a great
and successful marriage.
— Some exalted or yogakaraka planet placed on this axis.
— this karkamsa lagna sign in d-1, should fall in trinal
houses.
— the 7th house from karkamsa sign in navamsa if has a
strong benefic in it.
6. SIGN WHERE THERE IS PADA FOR DARAKARAKA
PLANET FALLS
As darakaraka is most important and key planet in jaimini
system so far as depiction of marriage is concerned, so pada
for planets as told in b. p. h. s. Sshould be counted and that
sign thus obtained should have –
— auspicious and yogakaraka planet in it
— Atmakaraka or amatyakaraka planet in it for boosting
the marital auspiciousness.
All the above told signs and axis hold importance regarding
marriage so it is to be checked how many out of these are falling
in fruitful signs (fruitful signs are- water triplicity consisting of
CANCER, SCORPIO AND PISCES. TAURAS, LIBRA,
SAGGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN are semi fruitful signs)
b) COMBINATIONS OF DELAYS /DENIAL OF

MARRIAGE-
COMBINATIONS IN RASI CHART- D-1
1. Venus is prime indicator of love and sexual relations.
We have to see first the condition of Venus. marriage
shall be considerably delayed when Venus is combust,
retrograded.
2. Venus in paapkartari (flanked by malefic on both sides)
yoga.
3. 7th house or lord in paap kartari yoga.
4. 7th lord is retrograde.
5. 7th lord is in debilitation with in range of 5 degress on
either side from deep debilitation point.
6. 7th lord in debilitation in navamsa.
7. 7th lord in trika houses in d-1 or in d-9
8. there is retrograde planet placed in 7th house.
9. Venus in barren signs will delay marriage as barren
signs stand for infertility. (barren signs are- GEMINI,
LEO, VIRGO AND ARIES, SAGITTARIUS, AQUARIUS are
semi –barren signs.)
10. the connection of gnathi karaka with 7th house or lord.
COMBINATIONS IN NAVAMSA CHART-
11. The 7th house and lord of d-1 should go to trik houses
of d-9 chart.
12. the Mars and Venus should have mutual 2/12 or 6/8th
axis in d-9 chart of the native.
13. the lagnesha and 7th lord of d-1 should have mutual 2/
12 or 6/8th axis in d-9 chart of the native.
14. Mars and Venus, lagna lord and 7th lord of d-1 chart,
should be in trika houses for bad results in marriage
and even in angular houses of navamsa chart there shall
be much trials and strifes and considerable delay in
marriage.
15. Navamsa lagna lord and 7th lord in navamsa chart
should be in trika and be debilitated.
16. lagna lord and 7th lord of d-1 should be in debilitation
sign to lose strength so as to delay and affect the
marriage matter negatively.
VITAL PARAMETERS FROM JAIMINI SYSTEM –
As in analysis through Jaimini system, I have considered
these pivots regarding marriage –
b) Dara karaka and 7th house therefrom
c) Karkamsa lagna and 7th house therefrom
d) Sign where there is Pada for darakaraka planet falls
Let us see how each pivotal point affects marriage by delay/
denial/discord —
— if the 7th house from lagna pada is in a trika house there
will be enmity between the marital partner
— lagna pad sign or the sign lord falls in trik houses (6, 8,
12th houses) of the horoscope marriage plans can be
over delayed or strifes, litigations can result.
— As aarudha or pada of lagna is a pivotal point and acts
as jaimini chart ascendant, so the mutual axis of 1/7
lord from here is of much significance. lagna pada sign
lord and 7th lord from it are at 6/8 axis or 2/12 axis.
— atmakaraka planet if be in trika houses from this lagna

pad sign
— If dara pad sign or the sign lord, falls in angular houses
from lagna, delays or struggle indicated in pursual of
marriage but promise of marriage is there.
— If dara pad sign or the sign lord falls in trik houses (6,
8, 12th houses) of the horoscope marriage plans can be
over delayed or strifes, litigations or diseases can
damage the marital bliss.
— the lord of dara pada sign is combust or retrograde.
— lords of lagna pada and darapad are on 6/8 axis or 2/
12 axis will give delays.
— upa pad sign or the sign lord falls in trik houses (6, 8,
12th houses) of the horoscope marriage plans can be
over delayed or strifes, litigations or diseases can
damage the marital bliss.
— the upa pada lord is retrograde or combust.
— in upa-pada sign there should be placed any retrograde
planet.
— upapada sign lord and 7th lord from it are at 6/8 axis or
2/12 axis.
— atmakaraka planet if be in trika houses from this
upapada lagna.
4. DARA KARAKA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM-
— darakaraka planet is retrograde or combust.
— this axis holds the gnathikaraka.
— darakaraka navamsa sign hold the gnathikaraka.
— darakaraka sign lord and 7th lord from it are at 6/8 axis
or 2/12 axis.
— atmakaraka planet if be in trika houses from this
darakaraka placement sign.
5. KARKAMSA LAGNA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM-
— Some retrograde or combust planet placed on this axis.
— this karkamsa lagna sign in d-1, if in trika houses.
— the 7th house from karkamsa sign in navamsa if has a
retrograde or weak/combust planet.
PLANET FALLS-
As darakaraka is most important and key planet in jaimini
system so far as depiction of marriage is concerned, so pada
for planets as told in b. p. h. s. Sshould be counted and that
sign thus obtained should not be holding any retrograde or
combust planet or the gnathikaraka.
All the above signs hold importance regarding marriage so
it is to be checked how many out of these are falling in
barren signs will delay marriage as barren signs stand for
infertility. (barren signs are- GEMINI, LEO, VIRGO AND
ARIES, SAGITTARIUS, AQUARIUS are semi –barren signs.)
c) Timing of marriage
Although this is a vulnerable area and much of research
work is required to really arrive at correct age of marriage.
I am putting forth what I could find really relevant in this
regard.
Timing can be done two ways
1. Favourable dasha scheme
2. Favourable transit of major planets
1. FAVOURABLE DASHA SCHEME-

First of all the pre requisite for timing of marriage is to see
wheather the dasha pattern is favouring marital association
or not.
In my opinion the most authentic and practically proven
dasha periods conducive to give marriage are looked for
from lagna sign as well as from Moon sign. I have found the
Moon lagna playing an authentic role in all considerations
of life specifically if the Moon is functional benefic and is
waxing one and also well placed in d-1 and d-9 chart.
The yogas for timing marriage are as under and these yogas
are to be analysed from lagna as well as from Moon sign.
The marriage can happen in any of the following dasha and
antardasha. The logic behind is that the matter of marriage
will keep the native busy and engaged in such associations
with opposite gender bringing marriage to the top priority.
1. The dasha of Venus is in general conducive for pursual
of marital alliances specifically if Venus is connected
with lagna or 7 th house by placement aspect or
conjunction.
2. The Vimshottari Mahadasha and Antardasha of lagna
lord.
3. The Vimshottari Mahadasha and Antardasha of 7th lord.
4. Running mahadasha or antardasha of Rahu/Ketu when
connected to lagna or 7th house or lords of lagna and
7th house.
5. Running mahadasha/antardasha of planet placed in the
7th house.
6. The mahadasha or antardasha of the dispositor of the
7th lord.
7. Running mahadasha or antardasha of planet connected
to 7th house or lord by aspect or conjunction.
8. Running mahadasha or antardasha of yogakaraka

planet.
9. Running mahadasha or antardasha of navamsa
dispositor of lagna lord of d-1 chart.
10. Running mahadasha or antardasha of navamsa
dispositor planet of 7th lord.
11. Running mahadasha or antardasha of navamsa lagna
lord.
CONDUCIVE DASHAS FROM JAIMINI SYSTEM-

As in jaimini most importantly CHAR DASHA scheme is
followed. So the important running dashas can be the
following ones-
All the signs we get as lagna pada axis, 7th pada axis and
upa-pada axis, karkamsa lagna axis have a significant role
in analyzing marriage prospects seen through jaimini
system. Each sign will have impact on marriage regarding
quality and number of relationships and timing of marriage.
All the signs given under have a say in timing marriage in
their mahadasha /antardasha. These are pivotal points
taken in jaimini system regarding marriage and thus their
dasha will certainly bring about events concerning marriage
and of marital significance and strongest of all shall bring
the event of marriage happen under char dasha scheme.
4. DARA KARAKA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM
In addition, two more points should be considered while
deciding the time of marriage. The char dashas of
following signs too shall be vital indicators in timing
of marriage.
— Dara karaka navamsa sign should operate as char

mahadasha /antardasha.
— The sign where darakaraka planet is putting aspect to,
char mahadasha /antardasha of such a sign should be
operative.
5. KARKAMSA LAGNA AND 7th HOUSE THEREFROM
PLANET FALLS
Counting of padas of the planets will give one sign each
and that sign will also hold the key to time the event of
marriage. The operative dasha shall be of that sign
where pad of darakaraka planet falls in d-1 chart under
CHAR DASHA scheme. PADA OF DARAKARAKA
PLANET HOLD AUTHENTICITY IN CHAR DASHA.
In addition for research point of view I am taking the
following signs of pada counted for other planets too.
However I am not confirmed of the authentic output
of these as I am working on these additional factors.
This is just for the knowledge and analysis of the
readers.
Pada of lagna lord planet
Pada of 7th lord planet
Pada of arudha lagna lord planet
Pada of dara pada lord planet
Pada of karkamsa lord planet.
2. FAVOURABLE TRANSIT OF MAJOR PLANETS –

After deciding the dasha /bhukthi, transits are considered
for timing any event. Transits modify the timing and work
both ways either to accelerate or to retard the timing of any
event.
From the double transit method of sh. K. n. rao the

EFFECTIVE base of transit is formed. Further 5 tier scheme
of Mr. M. N. kedar in his book, Timing of marriage I am
considering some points which I have found to be really
workable on my research horoscopes. I am putting forth –
Transits of major planets Saturn as well as Jupiter play a
key role in timing any event of life and so the marriage too.
Parameter 1 to Parameter 10—
1. The Saturn activating Lagna, Lagna Lord, 7th and 7th
LORD with in last 2 and a half years from the date of
marriage. Saturn should have connected to both lagna
and 7th house in following pattern-
Lagna + 7th house
Lagna + 7th lord
Lagna lord + 7th house
Lagna lord + 7th lord
2. Jupiter activating Lagna, Lagna Lord, 7th AND 7th LORD.
Jupiter should have connected to both lagna and 7th
house in following pattern-
Lagna + 7th house
Lagna + 7th lord
3. Mars activating Lagna, Lagna Lord, 7th AND 7th LORD.
Mars should have connected to both lagna and 7th house
in following pattern-
Lagna + 7th house
Lagna + 7th lord
4. Sun and or most planets around lagna or 7th house.

5. Lagna Lord transiting in/near 7th house
6. Lagna Lord and 7th Lord making connection in transit
by exchanging signs, conjunction or aspect.
7. Jupiter must activate the Venus and 5th house or 5th
lord with in 1 year before marriage to happen.
8. Mars must activate the Venus and 5th house or 5th lord
within 6 months.
9. Calculation of vivaha saham :Transits of Jupiter on Vivah
Saham sign or trinal sign from here will activate the
marital negotiation and happening. (sensitive marriage
point in the horoscope)
VENUS –SATURN + LAGNA WILL GIVE US VIVAHA
SAHAM SIGN AS RESULTANT.
10. NADI METHOD &Marriage timing -
A Nadi Method I am reproducing the excerpts of the
original lecture at I. C. A. S. regarding acceptance of
naadi method. I am of the positive opinion about this
technique and it will be worth it to try this method to
work out the probable time of marital negotiation and
performance of marriage as well.
A lecture given on 3rd July, 2005 at Indian Council of
Astrological Sciences (ICAS) , Hyderabad, India.
ROLE OF SATURN, JUPITER, MARS

In nadi astrology, Saturn is considered as presiding over the
portfolio of Karma or duty as Karma Karaka. Saturn
(significator) decides the fate and duties of the individuals born
in this world depending on Saturn’s interaction with other
karaka planets. Jupiter is the other main major planet
representing the life force or Jeeva whose interaction with the
event karaka planet is important for fructification of the event.
Rahu and Ketu are the other major planets generally obstructing
the event.
Under the nadi method, Mars is taken as the karaka planet
for marriage event or for the marital knot.
Venus is depicted as karaka for marital life which can
develop into marital bliss or crucible for suffering.
Transits-
In nadi astrology, transits of Saturn and Jupiter are mainly
considered connecting the karaka planet of an event in the birth
chart for timing the event. Since Mars is the karaka planet for
marriage event, the interaction of Saturn and Jupiter with Mars
during their transit becomes opportune for the marriage event
to occur. The 7th sign depicts partner of the native, the one with
whom the marital knot is tied and the transits of Saturn and
Jupiter with the 7th sign from Mars also becomes opportune.
Jupiter and Saturn interact with natal Mars in birth chart when
they transit over these signs or aspect these signs. Jupiter
transits each sign for about an year and Saturn transits each sign
for about 2 1/2 years. It can be seen that in one’s life span,
Jupiter and Saturn would be interacting with the sensitive point
of marital knot periodically at regular cyclic transits. While it is
prerequisite that Saturn and Jupiter in their transit interact with
Mars natal position to bring about marriage event, it does not
follow that every time Jupiter and Saturn interact with marital
knot sensitive point it would be necessarily result in the
marriage event. The task, therefore, is to elect the particular
transit of Saturn and Jupiter out of the series of transits by
process of eliminating unproductive transits. The step in this
direction is to check whether the karaka for marriage event
Mars comes under situations to cause delay or obstruction.
Rahu’s interaction with Mars can cause impediments or delay
in marriage. Symbolically, Mars is considered as being
swallowed by Rahu.
In nadi astrology, whenever a planet is retrograde in a sign,
it is considered to be in the previous sign also. When Saturn is
in the beginning of a sign upto about 3 degrees and Jupiter up

to about 1 degree, they are taken to be in the previous sign.
NAVAMSA
In nadi astrology, the transit of major planets is also
considered in the navamsa chart in the fructification of the
event. Since navamsa chart is supposed to represent marriage
aspect, the transit of Saturn and Jupiter over the navamsa lagna
and navamsa lagna lord is considered as additional point for
timing of marriage.
NADI METHOD RULES FOR MARRIAGE AGE

The following are the main rules for arriving at probable
marriage age:
Jupiter during transit conjoins or aspects natal Mars or 7th
sign from natal Mars. Saturn during transit conjoins or aspects
natal Mars or 7th sign from natal Mars. Jupiter during transit
conjoins or aspects navamsa lagna or navamsa lagna lord. Saturn
during transit conjoins or aspects navamsa lagna or navamsa
lagna lord.
NOTE: THIS TOPIC OF TIMING MARRIAGE SHALL BE
PROVIDED TO THE READERS IN GREAT DETAIL IN MY NEXT
BOOK – ‘MARRIAGE- TIMING THROUGH ASTROLOGY’
Chapter 15
Remedial Measures to Improve

the Future Prospects of Marital
Relationship
As per the ancient literature, one should marry someone

with similar aptitude, priorities, thinking pattern and values of
life.
Extensively quoting from Garga, Naarada, Kashyap,
Vashishtha etc. Pt. lakhan lal jha in his book, titled, VYAVAHARIC
JYOTISHA TATTWA’ has endeavoured to establish that matching
and timing of marriage was prevalent in vedic india. Horoscopes
work as a valuable tool in determining unseen features and
merits in any prospective marriage. The magnitude of good /
bad is foreseen and vedic astrology stands on basic principle
which is to enhance the positivity of the benefic /good results
indicated in the horoscopes and minimizing all evil/bad results
indicated there in.
As marriage is seen as a socially approved contract to have
a new family set up and 7th house deals with all kinds of social/
open deals including most vital deal of marriage.
There should be two main parts of remedial measures in
broad sense.
1. Increasing goodness /beneficence indicated by planetary
forces.
2. Decreasing the negative impact of bad planets.
Generally speaking, planets which are promoters of

bondage, love, like Venus, Jupiter or Moon can improve the
quality and longevity of marriage where as the impact of planets
with separative tendency like that of Rahu/kethu Saturn will
act to decrease the mutual goodwill and binding in marital knot.
THE PLANETS WHO HAVE a negating effect regarding
union and love do have the capacity to break off the marital tie
in social and moral /emotional context. Now, this negative
effects comes first of all from natural malefic like SATURN, or
NODES, TRIKA LORD, WEAK MARS, WANING MOON,
AFFLICTED VENUS etc.
Secondly, ill impact comes manifold and through many
house lords like, LORDS OF MOKSHA TRINE, 22nd DREKKANA
LORD, 64th NAVAMSA LORD, When such planets affect the 7th
house /lord in D-1 or D-9 chart, mostly ill effects are drawn in
marriage matters.
Further, ill impact by karmic planets like RAHU, KETU and
all RETROGRADE PLANETS, will malign the goodness and
smooth sailing in marital affairs. This bad impact will come to
operate by influencing the 7th house or lord by placement, aspect
and conjunction. Then even most benefic yogas pertaining to
relationships will turn out to bring calamity and disaster (extent
is variable).
The simple logic being that karmic planets affect the houses
where they are connected to, in a miserable way, leaving no room
for human efforts and hence rarely prove to do any good. Another
point is karmic planets deal with past life karmas and when
something from past lives /karmas exist in sensitive zone of
marital relationships, there has to be terrible balance sheet of
past debt to be repaid in present life.
When some kind of debts are being cleared or repaid in
relationships, in present life, results are not expected to be
favourable and smooth. We have to deal with karmic planets very
delicately and do something to propitiate the lords pertaining
to that planet to ward off evil from life.
Chapter 15: Remedial Measures to Improve the Future Prospects 223
MANTRA THERAPY and GRAHA POOJA is recommended

for curtailing bad impact coming from all possible angles in a
horoscope told above.
MOOL MANTRAS FOR NAVA GRAHAS-
SUN— OM SURYAYA NAMAHA
MOON— OM CHANDRAAYA NAMAHA
MARS- OM BHAUMAAYA NAMAHA
MERCURY- OM BUDHHAAYA NAMAHA
JUPITER- OM GURUVAY NAMAHA
VENUS- OM SHUKRAAYA NAMAHA
SATURN— OM SHAISHCHARAAYA NAMAHA
RAHU- OM RAHVE NAMAHA
KETU— OM KETVE NAMAHA
BEEJA MANTRAS FOR ALL PLANETS-
Surya : Om hram hreem hroum sah suryaya namah
Chandra : Om shram sreem shraum sah chandraya namah
Mangala : Om kram kreem kroum sah bhaumaya namah
Budha : Om bram breem broum sah budhaya namah
Guru : Om jhram jhreem jroum sah gurave namah
Shukra : Om dram dreem droum sah shukraya namah
Shani : Om pram preem proum sah shanaischaraya namah
Rahu : Om bhram bhreem bhroum sah rahave namah
Ketu : Om shram shreem shroum sah ketave namah
POINTS TO STRENGTHEN FOR BETTER RESULTS-

Strengthen the Dharma triplicity as well as kaama triplicity
zone.
Darakaaraka, pada lagna and 7th therefrom and uppada
lagna should not be afflicted by separative or karmic planets. If
the affliction is there there is need to strengthen the darakaraka
planet and 7th pada lord etc.
Wearing relevant gems for sign lords of lagan, 5th and 9th
house in d-1 chart is found to be good remedial measure for
overall improvement in self esteem and luck factor.
As navamsa speaks of the marital life specifically so trinal
houses of d-9 chart may be strengthend by wearing gems of
those lords.
GEM THERAPY as well as COLOUR THERAPY is found
effective for enhancing goodness of significator planets for
marriage and marital harmony. The gems and colours for
different planets hold value to improve the goodness of the planet
to a certain extent.
Similarly, all other factors influencing the 7th house/ lord
are to be scrutinized in the light of logic and hence concrete
and possible outcome can be depicted and then the remedial
measures done correctly and effectively will improve the overall
scenario of marriage.
