Astrological combinations for Late Marriage Marriage is a major landmark in life and Vedic Astrology deals with all aspects of marriage in depth. The most important planet for marriage in case of females is Jupiter and in case of males is Venus. Saturn has a major role in the delay of marriage. In this webcast, we will analyze the astrological combinations for a delayed marriage. Planets in the 7th House The placement of Sun in the 7th house indicates delay in marriage and a troubled marriage. The native may not be firm on his principles. In some cases the wife may not have loyalty towards the husband. Placement of Saturn in the 7th house indicates late marriage or more than one marriage. In this case, a person may get married to a widow, divorcee or someone elder in age. Mars in the 7th house is also not a healthy sign for a timely marriage because it indicates strong Manglik effect. Such people should marry after 28 years of age. Saturn and Late Marriage Saturn in conjunction with Moon and the Sun or in aspect indicates a delay in marriage. A delay in marriage also occurs when Saturn is placed in the 7th house or in the ascendant. If Saturn is placed in the 7th house being the lord of 7th house and forms a samsaptak yoga with Sun, it indicates a late marriage. Let us now talk about the position of Saturn in a Navamansh Kundali. If Saturn and Moon are placed together in the 7th house in a Navamsha Kundali, it indicates a late marriage. Role of Venus in Late Marriage If Vivahkaraka Venus is in conjunction with the Sun and Moon in the 7th house, it indicates a late marriage. If Venus, ascendant or the 7th house are in Paap Kartari Yoga then the possibility of a late marriage are strong. It is believed that Venus is the enemy of the Sun and Moon. Hence, if Venus is placed in the sign of Sun and Moon which is Leo and Cancer respectively, there might be an undue delay in marriage. If the ascendant and Venus are placed in Gemini, Leo, Virgo or Sagittarius sign, the native will have a late marriage. Role of 2nd house in Late Marriage According to Vedic astrology a retrograde planet causes loss, change of state, and forces the person to try and try again to achieve a goal. The 2nd, 7th and the 8th houses are checked to find out whether the person will have an early or delayed marriage. The 2nd house is the house of the family, and the 7th and 8th houses are for marital happiness. If the 2nd house has a retrograde planet, the person will have to try repeatedly to get married. That’s why if the planet placed in the 2nd house is retrograde or if the lord of 2nd house is retrograde then it depicts a delay in marriage. The 12th house is the house of expenses. If the lord of the 2nd house is in the 12th house it causes expenditure on the 2nd house. If your kundali has a malefic planet in the 2nd house then it afflicts the house. That’s why if the 2nd house is occupied by malefics and the lord of 2nd house is placed in the 12th house then also the native will have late marriage. If the 2nd house is occupied by the Moon and Saturn then also there are all chances of delay in marriage. Other reasons of delay in marriage If the lord of ascendant and Moon sign are placed with a malefic planet and placed in the 7th house, also the 7th lord is placed in the 12th house. This combination indicates late marriage. If the 6th, 7th or 12th house lord is placed in the 7th house or aspect the 7th house it indicates delay in the happiness of married life. If the 5th house lord and 7th house lord mutually aspect each other and are in conjunction with the malefic planets the marriage will be delayed due to some opposition. But if the 5th or 7th lord are in own house or exalted then the marriage won’t be delayed. Remedies to avoid marriage problems Vedic mantras are a simple remedy to prevent delay of marriage due to bad astrology combinations. If the delay is due to Manglik dosha recite Mangal Mantra “Om Kram Kreem Krom Saha Bhoumaye Namah”. For other combinations, chant “Om Brahm Brahaspataye Namah” if the person is female, and “ Om Shum shukraye Namah” if the perosn is a male. There is a popular that says “strike the iron when it is hot”. This is also applicable here. If the dasha, antardasha and transits are favorable, it will be easy to find the right partner and marry, so do check your running dasha and transit. ************************************************************************************************ ************* Marriage is a sacred bond which creates the relationship as wife and husband between two different sexes. Marriages are made in heaven. Is it true? Of course, to some extent. It is the destiny that acts between the wife and husband to live long together with happiness or unhappiness. Sometimes, the wedlock breaks at the initial stage or after some years. In some cases the individuals live without marriage at all. What are the factors responsible for all these features? The individual horoscopes will reveal their. The astrologer can indicate in a way, what will take place in future, but what else, except the Almighty can say with certainty what will definitely happen. Now let us discuss briefly some points astrologically on marriage in the Horoscope of individuals. The planet Venus, who is karaka for marriage; the 7th, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and the 8thlords are responsible for marriage life. Besides this, the placement of other planets and the aspects of the planets to the above houses are to be studied. Marriages may be early, late or denial. Early marriage is possible in the following cases: 1. The 7th lord should be in Kendra or trikona with the constellation of benefic planets. 2. The 7th house should be aspected by benefic planets and no papakartari yoga is present. 3. Venus should be well placed in Kendra and trikona in the star of benefic planet. Venus should not be in the company of malefic planets. 4. Lagna lord should be strong or aspected to the 7th house. 5. The placement of benefic planets in the 7th house. 6. The 2nd house should be free from affliction and with benefic rays. 7. The 4th, for happiness, 5th for children, and 12th for bed comforts. So the lords of these houses should be free from afflictions. The late marriages may take place where there is slight malefic influence to the 7th house, 7th lord and Venus besides having benefic influences to the above which override malefic influences. Denial of marriage is possible where there is strong malefic influence to the 7th house, 7th lord, Venus, 2ndhouse, and 2nd lord. Break in wedlock is possible even though there are benefic positions for marriage, the malefic influences prevail more and override the benefic influences. This leads to divorce or death of the partner. We cannot elaborate unless the individual horoscopes are being studied elaborately and decide the result. The 8th house denotes longevity of the natives. In the case of female horoscopes, if there are benefics in the 8th house or aspected by the benefic planets to the 8th house would confer soubhagyam which means the wife predeceases her husband. Reverse is the case for opposite results. Mars Dosha: This is an important aspect to be considered while deciding the marital prospects. Mars dosha occurs where Mars is placed in the 2nd or 4th, or 7th, or 8th, or 12th houses from ascendant or Moon, or Venus. While matching the horoscopes of the male and female, if one of them is having Mars dosha marriage should not be performed. If both are having Mars dosha, marriage can be performed according to the strength of the same. There are some exceptions to the rule and the same are stated below. Different classic texts stated different exceptions and sometimes contradict each other. After analyzing many horoscopes the following are to be considered while matching horoscopes. 1. If there is any conjunction with or aspected by Jupiter, or benefic Mercury or waxing Moon to the Mars. 2. For Cancer and Leo ascendants there is not Mars dosha. 3. For Aries and Scorpio lagnas 4th Mars, for Taurus and Libra lagnas 12th Mars, for Gemini and Virgo lagnas 2nd Mars, for Capricorn and Cancer lagnas 7th Mars, for Sagittarius and Pisces lagna 8th Mars, for Aquarius and leo lagnas no dosha wherever Mars is situated. 4. There is a saying that for Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Saggittarius, and Pisces lagnas no mars dosha. 5. When Mars is in movable sign, no Mars dosha exists. There are controversial astrological works between Jataka Chandrika, Naradeeyam, and Kalidasa. Further, no mention about Mars dosha has been given in any standard works of ancient origin like Parsara Hora, Phaladeepika, Brihat jataka, Jataka Parijatha, Jatakalankara, Satya Charya’s, Pancha Siddhanta etc. Hence too much emphasis need not be given to Mars dosha. It is the astrologer who has to go deep into the strength of other planets besides the position of Mars in the horoscope and judge the influence of Mars on the individual. Mars and Saturn: The planets Mars and Saturn are enemies. These two planets create havoc in respect of married life. The combination of Mars and Saturn in any house is undesirable especially in the houses of lagna, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th houses.
