Dasha & Bhukti

These following conditions should be fulfilled in the individual’s horoscope for the prospects of marriage to fructify.

• Vimshotri Dasha of 7th lord, planets occupying 7th house, planets aspecting 7th house should be running for the native at that point.
• The planet placed in the 7th house of Navamsha or the 7th lord of Navamsha should be active in Mahadasha, Antar or Prati Antar Dasha. 
• Dasha of natural karakas of marriage, namely, Venus, Jupiter or Rahu should be active. (Rahu is an unconditional giver of marriage)
• Dasha of Lagna Lord and Bhukti of 11th house lord
• Dasha / Bhukti of 2nd lord or the 8th lord
• Dasha of planets with 7th ord / aspecting 7th lord  

Transits

• Add Longitude of Lagna Lord and 7th Lord. When Jupiter transits this point / its trine/7th from it, marriage is likely.

We all know that nothing good in life can take place without the blessings of Jupiter and Saturn and marriage is one such event. The conditions postulated are as follows:

• Transit Saturn should aspect Lagna Lord and / or 7th House
• Transit Jupiter should aspect 7th Lord and / or Lagna
• Saturn and Jupiter can reverse their role.

Important Points To Keep In Mind While Analysing Marriage

In Indian astrology, marriage is considered a significant event, and various aspects of astrology are believed to influence the timing, nature, and success of a marriage. Here are some key elements related to marriage in Indian astrology:

 The Role of the 7th House, The 7th Lord & The Planets Occupying The House

The 7th house in the birth chart is specifically associated with marriage, partnerships, and relationships. A well-placed 7th house, with strong and favorable planets, is said to lead to a successful and harmonious marriage. If the 7th house is afflicted, it may lead to delays or challenges in marriage.

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and relationships, plays a crucial role in marital life. The strength and placement of Venus in the horoscope can indicate the type of partner one will attract and the quality of the marriage. A strong Venus is believed to bring happiness and harmony in marriage, while a weak or afflicted Venus could indicate challenges in relationships.

3. The Role of the Moon

The Moon is associated with emotions, and its position in a person’s natal chart can provide insight into emotional compatibility in marriage. A well-placed Moon is thought to bring emotional fulfillment in relationships.

4. Vimshotri Dasha (Planetary Periods)

In Vedic astrology, the Dasha system (the planetary period) plays a significant role in predicting the timing of marriage. The Mahadasha (major period) and Antardasha (sub-period) of specific planets can indicate the right time for marriage. For example, the period of Venus (for both men and women) is generally considered favorable for marriage.

5. Navamsa Chart 

The Navamsa chart, also called the D9 chart, is used to assess marriage and the quality of relationships. It is particularly important in understanding the spouse’s characteristics and the strength of marital bliss. The 7th house and its lord in the Navamsa chart are analyzed for deeper insights into the marriage.

6. Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha)

One of the most well-known astrological concepts related to marriage is Manglik Dosha. If Mars is placed in certain positions (e.g., the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house), it is considered to cause Manglik Dosha, which is believed to bring challenges to marriage, such as delay or discord in marital life. However, there are ways to mitigate its effects through specific remedies.

7. Compatibility (Kundali Matching)

Before marriage, families often consult astrologers to match the Kundalis (horoscopes) of the couple. This is done to ensure that both partners are astrologically compatible. The primary aspects that are considered during Kundali matching include:

• Guna Milan: Guna Milan is a points-based system that matches the physical, mental, and emotional compatibility of the couple.
  
• Dosha Analysis: Checking for any potential doshas (flaws) in the horoscopes that could affect the marriage.
  
• Nadi Dosha: This is checked to see if the couple has a Nadi mismatch, which could indicate a poor match.
  

8. Rahu and Ketu

The lunar nodes, Ketu and Rahu, also influence marriage. Ketu, the south node, represents past karma, while Rahu represents desires and future potential. Their placement can impact the timing of marriage, and if they are placed in unfavorable houses, they can delay or cause obstacles in marriage.

9. Timing of Marriage

Astrologers often use various techniques to predict the best time for marriage, including:

• Transits of Jupiter and Saturn: Jupiter is considered a benefic planet and often indicates favorable times for marriage when it transits over the 7th house or Venus. Saturn is kaal, so when Saturn transit along with Jupiter activates a house, only then can one get results of that house.
  
• The 7th house lord’s Dasha and Antardasha: When the period of the 7th house lord is activated, it’s considered an auspicious time for marriage.
  

10. Planetary Combustion and Retrogrades

When planets like Venus, Jupiter, or Mercury are combust (too close to the Sun) or in retrograde motion, it may affect relationship dynamics and the timing of marriage. Astrologers may advise caution or recommend specific remedies to ease such effects.

Let us try and explain the above mentioned points through examples using some charts of celebrities and understand how the condition of the 7th house (house of marriage) and other planetary positions or conditions can impact marriage timing and the quality of marriage as well. 

Rekha & The Tale Of Her Marriage To Businessman Mukesh Agarwal

This chart belongs to the famous bollywood actress Rekha, who has charmed thousands with her beauty, elegance and charm along with blockbuster, powerful performances on screen. Rekha is one actress of her time who always finds a reason to be in the news for one reason or another but her personal life has always been under scrutiny in the media.

Her scandalous affair with Amitabh Bachchan is well known and has been termed as most talked about in Bollywood’s history. Though that affair didn’t last as Bachchan was already married to actress Jaya Bachchan and had two kids, though stories of their affair continue to make waves. 

Her marriage with the business tycoon Mukesh Agarwal is another point which continues to be the talk of the town. 

1. If we look at her horoscope it is Sagittarius Lagna with Mars and Rahu placed in the Lagna
2. The 7th lord Mercury is placed in the 11th house along with an exalted Saturn. Though Saturn is giving rise to a strong “Dhan Yoga” but it has afflicted Mercury enough to not give proper results related to marriage.
3. Venus, the karaka of marriage is placed in the 12th house and is in ’Paapkartari Yoga’. It is placed in Vishakha Nakshhatra which is often touted to be a nakshatra showing downfall. 
4. The 7th house is  occupied by Ketu and has a full aspect of Mars. This is a highly afflicted 7th house. She got married to Mukesh Agarwal in March 1990 during the Mercury-Sun-Ketu-Mars Dasha running at that time.
5. Mercury being the 7th lord gave results related to marriage but if we closely analyse, the double transit of Saturn and Jupiter too activated her 2nd house of family and the 8th house of sudden events. 
6. Saturn was in Capricorn and Jupiter in Cancer in transit at the time. 
7. On the day of marriage her 7th house, 9th house, 8th house, along with the Lagna and the 5th house were activated.
8. However, due to the 7th house being heavily damaged, her husband died by suicide only after a few months of marriage. 
9. The 7th house receiving full aspect of Mars and Rahu with Ketu placed their shows that her life partner may have aggravated anger issues or acute depression. She never married again after that and focused on her career alone. 

Let us also check the planetary placements in the Navamsha chart as Navamsha mostly indicates the quality of marriage and the quality of your life after marriage. 

1. If we closely look at her Navamsha chart, the 7th house lord of the Lagna chart Mercury is placed in the 12th house, 6th from its own house as per ‘Bhavat Bhavam’ which shows sudden termination of marriage. 
2. The 7th lord of Navmansha, Venus is placed with the Sun in the 4th house and has the full aspect of Mars which again indicates a late and an unfulfilled marriage. 

Shahrukh Khan’s Rock Solid Marriage: The Stars Speak

Let us take another example of an actor who is often hailed as having one of the best and rocksolid marriages in Bollywood, Mr. Shahrukh Khan. 

Shahrukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood is one of the most desirable actors of the film industry and is equally famous for having one of the best marriages in bollywood. Let’s take a look at his chart and analyse the reason behind him being blessed with a blissful, happy and a long standing marriage. 

1. He has a Leo Lagna with Sun being debilitated in the 3rd house.m It seems negative but it is an exceptionally strong Sun blessing him with immense name and fame by helping him excel at his art and craft. 
2. His 7th house lord Saturn is well placed in the 7th house itself.  Saturn retrograde in its own sign is not a bad sign for marriage. 
3. His Venus is well placed in the 5th house of love, romance and creativity. Now, we know why he is known as the ‘King of Romance’. 
4. His 5th house and the 7th house both are aspected by Jupiter, who is a natural benefic and he protects the areas it aspects. 
5. He married his wife Gauri Khan on 25th October 1991. Running under the Dasha of Rahu-Venus-Venus-Moon on the day of his marriage. Activating the 3rd house, 4th house, 6th house, 11th house, 7th house, 8th house and the 12th house. Most of the houses signify marriage here. 
6. The double transit of Saturn and Jupiter jointly activates the 8th house. An important house for marriage to take place.
7. The 7th house has no malefic aspect.

Now let us move towards his Navmansh chart. Let us take a look at what Navmansh is showing about his married life.

1. Though the 7th house in the Navmansh chart is in Rahu Ketu axis, the aspect of Jupiter from the 3rd house on the 7th house safeguards the marriage and 7th house related other aspects.
2. Saturn, the 7th lord of the Lagna chart and Mars, the 7th lord of the Navmansh chart indicate that the spouse of the native would have a strong influence on the native, the spouse will put in great efforts to work and save the marriage even in crisis and always be ready to face any third party situation, if at all it arises. 

So, all the factors discussed above must be kept in mind when interpreting one’s marriage timing & quality of marriage.
