Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 I found a very good article on Marraige and would like to share it with all of you. It is equally for beginners(like me) as well as for learned members and am reproducing the same as it appeared. The view(s) expressed are of the author and i have not done any alteration (add/delete). I have picked it from an Astrology Magazine and would like to request guru's/Senior Members to guide / throw light if there will be any "Copyright " problems involved if i post articles like this in the near future for the benefit of all. Before going ahead - I would like to emphatically state - that my sole intention is to bring this article to the benefit of my list members and nothing else. I hope this article will be useful and beneficial for all. Regards,Ashwin CAN SATURN CONFER MARRAIGE? * ANY ONE eagerly looking for a bride or bridegroom for their child should save themselves the trouble of following Jupiter of Venus. Instead just look up to Saturn. Saturn, contrary to the general belief as the notorious and infamous malefic, is the most graceful and benevolent planet, who binds men and women in nuptial ties and teaches them to live together subject to norms, values and customs of society. He times the marriage of individuals as the lord of time. The so-called malefic is actually a benefic who controls the so-called 'natural benefics' towards a happy married life. Generally when one talks of marriage one tends to examine the position of Venus because Venus is the Karaka for the 7 th house or the Kalatrasthana. Then the lord of 7 th house and his position in the chart, the aspects on the 7 th and on its lord etc., are examined in detail. Jupiter is looked upon as a great saviour in case any of these factors are unfavourable. His aspect on the 7 th and its lord or on the Ascendant are considered very promising and auspicious. On the contrary, Saturn is relegated to the position of a malefic planet who hinders, delays, destroys and disturbs marital prospects. My study of various charts has gone against this popular notion, making Saturn the most benevolent planet in conferring marriage. For the sake of simplicity and clarity I shall avoid going into the Navamsa, Dasa, Ashtakavarga etc., and confine my exercise to natal planets and their status, for I believe that deep diving is often suffocating and misleading. Without underplaying the importance of Venus as Kalatrakaraka and Jupiter as the magnificent saviour, I will dwell upon the dominant role of Saturn in marital happiness. At the outset it is essential to understand the nature and portfolios of these three planets Venus, Jupiter and Saturn so as to draw connections between their aspects. Venus: Venus is an embodiment of love and just simple, plain love not only between a man and woman but for anything. He personifies beauty, charm and allurement. That is why a native with Venus in the Ascendant or the 7 th looks handsome or attractive. He drives the native towards the opposite sex effortlessly when posited reasonably well. He ensures conjugal happiness. When aspected by the benevolent Jupiter or unafflicted such conjugal relationships becomes legitimate. But when afflicted by Mars, unless otherwise saved (only Mars, not Saturn) that relation becomes illegitimate - so called sin. Jupiter: The mighty Jupiter is not always right or mighty. But he is supposed to be the best natural benefic in the entire Zodiac (I have my doubts though). However, the main characteristic of Jupiter is expansion and growth while that of Saturn is contraction and fall. Jupiter indicates life as against death unlike Saturn. Jupiter is thus the Karaka for progeny. A well-placed Jupiter aspecting the 5 th has to give children. But don't jump to the conclusion this is possible by his mere placement in the Ascendant. An exalted Jupiter in Cancer ascendant has caused traumatic experiences in marriage. Nevertheless Jupiter has a role as the lord of children. But one must remember here that he is concerned with progeny, irrespective of whether it is legitimate or illegitimate. Here comes Saturn who gives the mark of legitimacy through marriage. Saturn: Words fail any sincere astrologer in defining or describing Saturn. Yet I shall make an attempt. Saturn is the lord of time. He is the lord of humane outlook and compassion. He is the lord of simplicity and purity. He is the lord of philosophy and spirituality. He is the lord of politics and governments. Power and authority are the gifts of Saturn as opposed to the popular belief that these are the Sun's domain. Unfortunately, much maligned by the common man, Saturn is the real benefic when the time comes. He is the 'Teacher', who teaches the native the ups and downs of life and makes him balanced. Confining ourselves to the present topic of discussion we must say that being the lord of confinement, discipline and bondage Saturn plays a predominant role in the marriage of a native and in its timing. Let us next discuss the subject of marriage. What is marriage? Marriage is a social bond which cannot be easily broken. Marriage means two individuals of the opposite sex living together subject to the values and norms of any society in any country at any time (i.e. transcultural and transgeographical). Anything else contrary to it cannot be called a marriage. A wife and husband may have children to rear and care for that is an unbreakable bond and an unquestionable commitment. Only Saturn is responsible for such a thing. He is the lord of confinement. He confines individuals to a system of limited and regularized conjugal relationship. Is not that bondage as against the freedom of switching over from one woman to another and from one man to another? As a pious planet Saturn does not allow such foot-loose behaviour. Marriage is a dramatic and sudden change from a free and detached bachelor life, where there is no one to care for or to be answerable to. A marriage imposes certain restrictions and confinement to one person as opposed to many. As a planet o contraction Saturn makes the wife and husband contract in themselves for the sake of each other. As the cold planet, Saturn cools the hidden fires in both and teaches them tranquility and piety. No wonder a human being turns into a calm, quiet and responsible person after marriage. Mars, the planet of passion and desire, aspecting Venus, the planet of Love, and man-woman relations, culminates into a conjugal relationship. Saturn gives permanency and continuity to it and takes it to its logical conclusion - married life with children. Saturn also indicates separation and loneliness. Soon after the marriage, affinities and loyalties to their respective natal families are severed by the man and wife and they build a strong and intimate relationship between themselves. Even though Venus is normally taken to be the karaka for the 7th house or marriage, I tend to give importance to Saturn. It is no wonder that whenever Saturn aspects the Ascendant or the 7 th or the Moon, marriage is delayed especially when the signs are not Capricon or Aquarius. However, Saturn and Venus are friends and they feel comfortable in each other’s signs - Taurus, Libra, Capricon and Aquarius. The role of Saturn is so predominant in marriage that we normally find, in many charts where Saturn is afflicted by the Sun by the 180o opposition aspect; there is an inordinately delayed or even denial of marriage. To put it humorously, "If marriage is a Bus - Venus is the Engine, Mars is the Driver and Saturn is the Conductor who allows you in and gives you a ticket. Jupiter can be compared to the policeman who regulates the traffic in order to avoid accidents." That is how these four planets are related to marriage. Ignoring Saturn in discussing a marriage is a serious mistake. He can definitely deny a marriage or even bring about one quite beyond your imagination. When you observe the timing of marriage of any native in general you cannot but name Saturn as the lord of marriage. It is commonly seen in several charts that a native enters marital relationship under following conditions: - 1. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn by his 3rd aspect - the sextile relation 60o. 2. When transit Saturn transits the natal Saturn with a margin of 10o on either side of natal Saturn or when he transits the sign occupied by natal Saturn between 0o-30o. 3. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn or is in opposition (180o) which is the 7 th house aspect. 4. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn with his 10th house aspect. Of these four conditions, I consider the first two to be more effective that the latter two. This becomes even more effective in the case of women. I can assure my readers that it can be taken as a Thumb rule that whenever Saturn aspects natal Saturn he would cause marriage. It can be also said with equal force that when Saturn transits natal Saturn completely without giving marriage, then one can safely say that it is a case of denial with only a bleak chance when the 10th house aspect occurs. But by that time the native would be in his mid-thirties waiting for marriage in vain. The brightest opportunity is when transit aspects natal Saturn by his 3rd house aspect. Because, at that time the native would be around 24 years as Saturn would be 2 to 3 signs away from his natal position. The exact time of marriage can be predicted from the transits of Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Moon and of course, the Lagna and 7th lords. Saturn's role as the lord of marriage is supreme. But Venus in fixed signs has a peculiar effect. It is widely believed that whenever Venus is in a fixed sign, the marriage itself becomes doubtful. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are fixed signs and if Venus is in anyone of them marriage may be denied. Venus in Leo is particularly so, but when Saturn influences such a Venus favourably the blemish is cancelled and the native gets married happily. Chart 1: - Chart 1 has Venus, Mars and Mercury in the 7 th which would undoubtedly be disastrous. The Karaka of the 7 th house in the 7 th would have certainly denied marital happiness. On top of it, it is Leo-Venus, a fixed sign Venus, which normally denies marriage. Mars in association would have only added fuel to fire. The worst thing that could have happened is Mercury, 5 th lord, in the 7 th which causes Putra Dosha and marital disaster. But the lord of the Ascendant Saturn strongly placed in the 10 th has controlled these three planets and given the native a happy married life with two beautiful children. This can only be explained by the Saturn factor. But for Saturn's aspect on the 7 th, the fate of the native could have been totally different. The native got married when Saturn was in Virgo aspecting his natal position in Scorpio in 1982. Chart 2: - Chart 2 is of Aries ascendant with an Aquarius Venus, again a fixed sign Venus. But the native got married when Saturn was transiting Virgo in 1982 aspecting natal position in Scorpio. The reason is though Venus is in a fixed sign and further afflicted by Scorpio Mars within a 1o fourth house aspect, Saturn's placement in the 8 th had to give marriage and conjugal bliss which the 8 th house stands for. Remember Sthana Vriddhi Karoti Mandha or Saturn has to improve the house of his occupation. Here, one may also give credit to Jupiter for aspecting Venus and the house of luck, the 9 th, his own sign. Chart 3: - Chart 3 has Gemini ascendant with Sagittarius as 7 th house with its lord Jupiter well placed in the 10 th, his own sign. But he does not aspect the 7 th house and is afflicted by Kendradhipati Dosha being in Kendra and owning two Kendra’s. And so is Mercury owning two Kendra’s placed in the 4 th another Kendra. On top of it, Venus is in fixed sign Leo within 5o of Mars afflicted by him. But the native is married with two children and has a successful married life. How is it? NO wonder, it is due to Saturn. Being the lord of the 9 th house, he is in the 4th(Kendra) aspecting the 7 th lord and the ascendant in conjunction with the Ascendant lord Mercury. The native was married on 17-1-1976 when Saturn was in Cancer aspecting natal Saturn in Virgo. Nothing else can explain this except Saturn's benevolence. A word of Caution, Saturn normally destroys the Bhava of the house he aspects by his 3 rd, 10 th and 7 th aspects if the houses are not his own or if they are not otherwise beneficially occupied or aspected by other planets. An afflicted Saturn aspecting houses connected with marital happiness can cause havoc. Saturn when afflicted by the Sun, his arch rival, and badly placed in a house or at 0o or 29o, while transiting his birth position, may not yield the desired results or may even destroy married life. As he gives marriage and times too, so also can he delay a marriage indefinitely or disturb it. The following charts will explain this phenomenon. Chart 4: - Chart 4 has cancer Ascendant with Mercury exchanging 3rd houses with the Moon forming a Rajayoga. The native is a top officer well placed but had to go in for a man who was already married with two children. The marriage is often marked by tension and distress. Saturn is in the 6 th with afflicted Jupiter®, the 9 th lord, and Sun in the 12 th (house of bed pleasures) with Venus. But Saturn's aspect on the 8 th Aquarius, his own sign, has given a marriage no matter even if it is with a divorcee. The 9 th lord (of luck) not aspecting the 9th and Saturn in the 6th afflicting the 9th lord, the 2nd lord Sun (ruling family) and 4th lord Venus has disturbed married life, though not denying it. Chart 5: - Chart 5 has Aries Ascendant with the Moon in it. The native's husband died after a year of marriage. This is a miserable horoscope. The Ascendant lord Mars is adversely placed from 9th lord Jupiter and 10th Lord Saturn in Shasht-ashtaka. Further, he is afflicted by Rahu in the 5th. Rahu and Ketu in the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses cause marital disaster. Venus, the 7th lord and also Karaka, is in the 2nd in Taurus in a fixed sign. Above all, the lord of luck or 98th lord Jupiter is debiliated in Capricon and further afflicted by Saturn. Saturn aspects the 12th house (Paryankastana [i have no idea - any senior memeber; kindly throw light on it]) denying bed pleasures. The 12 th lord Jupiter being also debiliated, Saturn aspecting the 4th and 7th houses, made matters worse. In such a situation even Saturn cannot help the native. Chart 6: - Chart 6 is of a Saint who did not marry. She has Libra Ascendant with Mars in it aspecting the 7 th House in his own sign. Venus is in a fixed sign Aquarius and Saturn is in the 6th, an inauspicious house. Jupiter the Karaka for family and children, though exalted in the 10th, has not helped, owning to a fixed sign Venus. Saturn as 5th Lord unfavorably placed in the 6th, aspects the 8th and denies conjugal bliss and denies bed comfort by aspecting the 12th also. Though Mars aspects his own 7th house he has not been able to give marriage. This kind of a chart makes Saturn thoroughly unhelpful in connection with marriage. Chart 7: - Chart 7 has Gemini Ascendant with Jupiter in the 7 th house in Sagittarius. Venus is exalted in the 10th. Mars is in the 11th in his own sign. The Ascendant lord Mercury is in the 8th with the Sun. The native was divorced six months after marriage and committed Suicide. No one could predict such a thing with Jupiter in the 7th in his own sign with exalted Venus in the 10th and Mercury in the 8th. The benefics definitely turned into malefics. Saturn gave marriage as he aspects the 9th house. But being in the 12th or the Vvayasthana again, an in-auspicious house, he aspects the 2nd and does not aspect benefics. Had he aspected the benefics, the disaster could have been minimized. Yet another interesting fact is the sudden, unforeseen transformation of benefics Jupiter and Venus into malefics. Karako Bhavanashya is a famous line every astrologer, I believe, is aware of, which means when the Karaka of a Bhava is in the relevant Bhava he will invariably destroy the Bhava. For instance, Venus if in the 7th as the Karaka for that house will always deny a happy married life. The same is true in cases when Venus is afflicted either by Mars and Rahu or Sun, despite the aspect of Jupiter on Venus. But if Saturn is with Venus or even aspects him, it cancels these ill-effects and purifies Venus ensuring marital happiness abundantly. The so-called divinely benefic Jupiter can be a disastrous malefic if he is badly poised as shown in the charts below. Jupiter in a Kendra, especially the 1st and the 7th can be dangerous. It will turn worse if he is exalted or debiliated and placed in the Ascendant or the 7th house. On the contrary Saturn, even if debiliated, and placed in the ascendant will only give positive results. Remember Sthana Hani Karoti Jeevaha and Sthana Vriddhi Karoti Mandha. Jeeva or Jupiter normally harms the place of his occupation while Manda or Saturn improves the house he is placed in. Chart 8: - Chart 8 is of Cancer Ascendant with an exalted Jupiter. The native's husband died in an accident just 5 years after marriage. The worst part is that 9th lord Jupiter aspects the 9th house and yet this tragedy happened. How can you call Jupiter a benefic in such cases? Saturn as lord of the 7th in the 9th causes a Rajayoga. Had he aspected the 7th or any other house connected with marital happiness he could have certainly prevented the calamity. Jupiter as 9th lord in the Ascendant aspecting the 7th and 9th was unable to protect the native from this tragedy. Isn't it strange? Chart 9: - Chart 9 has cancer Ascendant with Jupiter exalted in it. Venus is in the 7 th house. The 7th and 8th lord Saturn is at 0o between the 8 th and 9th houses. One may suppose that the girl must have had a very happy marriage. No. Her honeymoon was marked by tension and she had a nervous breakdown. The husband virtually lived separately because he suspected her chastity. The in-laws are trying to help them patch up. Yet there is no happy ending. How can you consider Jupiter as a benefic when this sort of traumatic development takes place in a native's life? The same is the case with Venus who exemplifies the dictum Karako Bhavanasha. If at all there is any saving grace it is only Saturn's, who caused the marriage and is averting the divorce as the lord of the 8th. This is a case where we see benefics turn malefic and malefic Saturn act as a benefic. Even when benefics turn into malefics and mar marriages, Saturn, the so-called malefic, acts virtually as a benefic and ensures marital happiness. Although he is slow and sluggish he averts marital accidents; he gives long lasting marital bliss, and is the real lord of marriage. The lord of time, Saturn times events. As the lord of longetivity, he determines the death of natives. As a teacher he teaches equanimity so that native can become a Sthitapragna or equipoised. The sadhesathe ( 7 1/2 year cycle of Saturn ) occurs in all charts at least twice. This period grooms natives into perfect human beings, by exposing them to untold miseries. An ubiquitous and omnipotent Saturn leads every native towards wisdom. * Article taken from "The Astrological Magazine" ; April 2001; Author: K.D.P. Rao, I.A.S.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Om Namo Narayanaya, Dear Friends and list members, I do not know whether you examined this article in detail. It has a strong married. The good sides are: 1. It is true that Shani in 7th is not bad due to its digbal and exaltation in Libra, natural 7th house 2. Shani is a friend of Shukra 3. Shani rules time and permanent values, and is in no way malefic for people who have taken Spiritual Aspect of life. For that reason, only strong Shani (Brahma) can confer Pravrajya The negative sides: 1.The article is one sided. One can naver isolate one factor and pronunce it. The interrelation of all graha will give a combined effect 2. One cannot judge marital happiness without: Upapada Lagna and Navamsa Lagna 3. At the first example, the author states that Shani gave marriage due to its aspect on 7th house(kumbha Lagna). My friend, who is a Jyotishi, has the exactly same positions of shukra/mangal and budh in 7th and Shani in 10th yet she is unmarried and childless at the age of nearly 50. So the arguement is off. That proves the previous point. 4. We should refrain from making definite rules on the bases of one or two factors. The whole chart counts, and the holistic approuch is what has been missing for a longer time..

Without underplaying the importance of Venus as Kalatrakaraka and Jupiter as the magnificent saviour, I will dwell upon the dominant role of Saturn in marital happiness.At the outset it is essential to understand the nature and portfolios of these three planets Venus, Jupiter and Saturn so as to draw connections between their aspects. Venus: Venus is an embodiment of love and just simple, plain love not only between a man and woman but for anything.He personifies beauty, charm and allurement.That is why a native with Venus in the Ascendant or the 7 th looks handsome or attractive.He drives the native towards the opposite sex effortlessly when posited reasonably well.He ensures conjugal happiness.When aspected by the benevolent Jupiter or unafflicted such conjugal relationships becomes legitimate.But when afflicted by Mars, unless otherwise saved (only Mars, not Saturn) that relation becomes illegitimate - so called sin.

Saturn:Words fail any sincere astrologer in defining or describing Saturn. Yet I shall make an attempt.Saturn is the lord of time.He is the lord of humane outlook and compassion.He is the lord of simplicity and purity.He is the lord of philosophy and spirituality.He is the lord of politics and governments.Power and authority are the gifts of Saturn as opposed to the popular belief that these are the Sun's domain.Unfortunately, much maligned by the common man, Saturn is the real benefic when the time comes.He is the 'Teacher', who teaches the native the ups and downs of life and makes him balanced.Confining ourselves to the present topic of discussion we must say that being the lord of confinement, discipline and bondage Saturn plays a predominant role in the marriage of a native and in its timing. Let us next discuss the subject of marriage. What is marriage? Marriage is a social bond which cannot be easily broken.Marriage means two individuals of the opposite sex living together subject to the values and norms of any society in any country at any time (i.e. transcultural and transgeographical).Anything else contrary to it cannot be called a marriage.A wife and husband may have children to rear and care for that is an unbreakable bond and an unquestionable commitment.Only Saturn is responsible for such a thing.He is the lord of confinement.He confines individuals to a system of limited and regularized conjugal relationship.Is not that bondage as against the freedom of switching over from one woman to another and from one man to another?As a pious planet Saturn does not allow such foot-loose behaviour. Marriage is a dramatic and sudden change from a free and detached bachelor life, where there is no one to care for or to be answerable to.A marriage imposes certain restrictions and confinement to one person as opposed to many.As a planet o contraction Saturn makes the wife and husband contract in themselves for the sake of each other.As the cold planet, Saturn cools the hidden fires in both and teaches them tranquility and piety.No wonder a human being turns into a calm, quiet and responsible person after marriage.Mars, the planet of passion and desire, aspecting Venus, the planet of Love, and man-woman relations, culminates into a conjugal relationship.Saturn gives permanency and continuity to it and takes it to its logical conclusion - married life with children. Saturn also indicates separation and loneliness.Soon after the marriage, affinities and loyalties to their respective natal families are severed by the man and wife and they build a strong and intimate relationship between themselves. Even though Venus is normally taken to be the karaka for the 7th house or marriage, I tend to give importance to Saturn.It is no wonder that whenever Saturn aspects the Ascendant or the 7 th or the Moon, marriage is delayed especially when the signs are not Capricon or Aquarius. However, Saturn and Venus are friends and they feel comfortable in each other’s signs - Taurus, Libra, Capricon and Aquarius.The role of Saturn is so predominant in marriage that we normally find, in many charts where Saturn is afflicted by the Sun by the 180o opposition aspect; there is an inordinately delayed or even denial of marriage. To put it humorously, "If marriage is a Bus - Venus is the Engine, Mars is the Driver and Saturn is the Conductor who allows you in and gives you a ticket.Jupitercan be compared to the policeman who regulates the traffic in order to avoid accidents." That is how these four planets are related to marriage.Ignoring Saturn in discussing a marriage is a serious mistake.He can definitely deny a marriage or even bring about one quite beyond your imagination. When you observe the timing of marriage of any native in general you cannot but name Saturn as the lord of marriage.It is commonly seen in several charts that a native enters marital relationship under following conditions: - 1. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn by his 3rd aspect - the sextile relation 60o.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 2. When transit Saturn transits the natal Saturn with a margin of 10o on either side of natal Saturn or when he transits the sign occupied by natal Saturn between 0o-30o. 3. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn or is in opposition (180o) which is the 7 th house aspect. 4. When transit Saturn aspects natal Saturn with his 10th house aspect. Of these four conditions, I consider the first two to be more effective that the latter two.This becomes even more effective in the case of women. I can assure my readers that it can be taken as a Thumb rule that whenever Saturn aspects natal Saturn he would cause marriage.It can be also said with equal force that when Saturn transits natal Saturn completely without giving marriage, then one can safely say that it is a case of denial with only a bleak chance when the 10th house aspect occurs.But by that time the native would be in his mid-thirties waiting for marriage in vain.The brightest opportunity is when transit aspects natal Saturn by his 3rd house aspect.Because, at that time the native would be around 24 years as Saturn would be 2 to 3 signs away from his natal position. The exact time of marriage can be predicted from the transits of Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Moon and of course, the Lagna and 7th lords. Saturn's role as the lord of marriage is supreme. But Venus in fixed signs has a peculiar effect.It is widely believed that whenever Venus is in a fixed sign, the marriage itself becomes doubtful.Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are fixed signs and if Venus is in anyone of them marriage may be denied.Venus in Leo is particularly so, but when Saturn influences such a Venus favourably the blemish is cancelled and the native gets married happily. Chart 1: - Chart 1 has Venus, Mars and Mercury in the 7 th which would undoubtedly be disastrous.The Karaka of the 7 th house in the 7 th would have certainly denied marital happiness.On top of it, it is Leo-Venus, a fixed sign Venus, which normally denies marriage.Mars in association would have only added fuel to fire.The worst thing that could have happened is Mercury, 5 th lord, in the 7 th which causes Putra Dosha and marital disaster.But the lord of the Ascendant Saturn strongly placed in the 10 th has controlled these three planets and given the native a happy married life with two beautiful children.This can only be explained by the Saturn factor.But for Saturn's aspect on the 7 th, the fate of the native could have been totally different.The native got married when Saturn was in Virgo aspecting his natal position in Scorpio in 1982. Chart 2: - Chart 2 is of Aries ascendant with an Aquarius Venus, again a fixed sign Venus.But the native got married when Saturn was transiting Virgo in 1982 aspecting natal position in Scorpio.The reason is though Venus is in a fixed sign and further afflicted by Scorpio Mars within a 1o fourth house aspect, Saturn's placement in the 8 th had to give marriage and conjugal bliss which the 8 th house stands for.Remember Sthana Vriddhi Karoti Mandha or Saturn has to improve the house of his occupation.Here, one may also give credit to Jupiter for aspecting Venus and the house of luck, the 9 th, his own sign. Chart 3: - Chart 3 has Gemini ascendant with Sagittarius as 7 th house with its lord Jupiter well placed in the 10 th, his own sign.But he does not aspect the 7 th house and is afflicted by Kendradhipati Dosha being in Kendra and owning two Kendra’s.And so is Mercury owning two Kendra’s placed in the 4 th another Kendra.On top of it, Venus is in fixed sign Leo within 5o of Mars afflicted by him. But the native is married with two children and has a successful married life.How is it? NO wonder, it is due to Saturn.Being the lord of the 9 th house, he is in the 4th(Kendra) aspecting the 7 th lord and the ascendant in conjunction with the Ascendant lord Mercury.The native was married on 17-1-1976 when Saturn was in Cancer aspecting natal Saturn in Virgo. Nothing else can explain this except Saturn's benevolence. A word of Caution, Saturn normally destroys the Bhava of the house he aspects by his 3 rd, 10 th and 7 th aspects if the houses are not his own or if they are not otherwise beneficially occupied or aspected by other planets.An afflicted Saturn aspecting houses connected with marital happiness can cause havoc.Saturn when afflicted by the Sun, his arch rival, and badly placed in a house or at 0o or 29o, while transiting his birth position, may not yield the desired results or may even destroy married life.As he gives marriage and times too, so also can he delay a marriage indefinitely or disturb it. The following charts will explain this phenomenon. Chart 4: - Chart 4 has cancer Ascendant with Mercury exchanging 3rd houses with the Moon forming a Rajayoga.The native is a top officer well placed but had to go in for a man who was already married with two children. The marriage is often marked by tension and distress. Saturn is in the 6 th with afflicted Jupiter®, the 9 th lord, and Sun in the 12 th (house of bed pleasures) with Venus.But Saturn's aspect on the 8 th Aquarius, his own sign, has given a marriage no matter even if it is with a divorcee.The 9 th lord (of luck) not aspecting the 9th and Saturn in the 6th afflicting the 9th lord, the 2nd lord Sun (ruling family) and 4th lord Venus has disturbed married life, though not denying it. Chart 5: - Chart 5 has Aries Ascendant with the Moon in it.The native's husband died after a year of marriage.This is a miserable horoscope.The Ascendant lord Mars is adversely placed from 9th lord Jupiter and 10th Lord Saturn in Shasht-ashtaka. Further, he is afflicted by Rahu in the 5th.Rahu and Ketu in the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses cause marital disaster.Venus, the 7th lord and also Karaka, is in the 2nd in Taurus in a fixed sign.Above all, the lord of luck or 98th lord Jupiter is debiliated in Capricon and further afflicted by Saturn.Saturn aspects the 12th house (Paryankastana [i have no idea - any senior memeber; kindly throw light on it]) denying bed pleasures.The 12 th lord Jupiter being also debiliated, Saturn aspecting the 4th and 7th houses, made matters worse.In such a situation even Saturn cannot help the native. Chart 6: - Chart 6 is of a Saint who did not marry.She has Libra Ascendant with Mars in it aspecting the 7 th House in his own sign.Venus is in a fixed sign Aquarius and Saturn is in the 6th, an inauspicious house.Jupiter the Karaka for family and children, though exalted in the 10th, has not helped, owning to a fixed sign Venus.Saturn as 5th Lord unfavorably placed in the 6th, aspects the 8th and denies conjugal bliss and denies bed comfort by aspecting the 12th also.Though Mars aspects his own 7th house he has not been able to give marriage.This kind of a chart makes Saturn thoroughly unhelpful in connection with marriage. Chart 7: - Chart 7 has Gemini Ascendant with Jupiter in the 7 th house in Sagittarius.Venus is exalted in the 10th.Mars is in the 11th in his own sign.The Ascendant lord Mercury is in the 8th with the Sun.The native was divorced six months after marriage and committed Suicide.No one could predict such a thing with Jupiter in the 7th in his own sign with exalted Venus in the 10th and Mercury in the 8th.The benefics definitely turned into malefics.Saturn gave marriage as he aspects the 9th house.But being in the 12th or the Vvayasthana again, an in-auspicious house, he aspects the 2nd and does not aspect benefics.Had he aspected the benefics, the disaster could have been minimized. Yet another interesting fact is the sudden, unforeseen transformation of benefics Jupiter and Venus into malefics. Karako Bhavanashya is a famous line every astrologer, I believe, is aware of, which means when the Karaka of a Bhava is in the relevant Bhava he will invariably destroy the Bhava.For instance, Venus if in the 7th as the Karaka for that house will always deny a happy married life. The same is true in cases when Venus is afflicted either by Mars and Rahu or Sun, despite the aspect of Jupiter on Venus.But if Saturn is with Venus or even aspects him, it cancels these ill-effects and purifies Venus ensuring marital happiness abundantly. The so-called divinely benefic Jupiter can be a disastrous malefic if he is badly poised as shown in the charts below.Jupiter in a Kendra, especially the 1st and the 7th can be dangerous.It will turn worse if he is exalted or debiliated and placed in the Ascendant or the 7th house.On the contrary Saturn, even if debiliated, and placed in the ascendant will only give positive results.Remember Sthana Hani Karoti Jeevaha and Sthana Vriddhi Karoti Mandha.Jeeva or Jupiter normally harms the place of his occupation while Manda or Saturn improves the house he is placed in. Chart 8: - Chart 8 is of Cancer Ascendant with an exalted Jupiter.The native's husband died in an accident just 5 years after marriage.The worst part is that 9th lord Jupiter aspects the 9th house and yet this tragedy happened.How can you call Jupiter a benefic in such cases? Saturn as lord of the 7th in the 9th causes a Rajayoga.Had he aspected the 7th or any other house connected with marital happiness he could have certainly prevented the calamity.Jupiter as 9th lord in the Ascendant aspecting the 7th and 9th was unable to protect the native from this tragedy.Isn't it strange? Chart 9: - Chart 9 has cancer Ascendant with Jupiter exalted in it.Venus is in the 7 th house. The 7th and 8th lord Saturn is at 0o between the 8 th and 9th houses.One may suppose that the girl must have had a very happy marriage.No.Her honeymoon was marked by tension and she had a nervous breakdown.The husband virtually lived separately because he suspected her chastity.The in-laws are trying to help them patch up.Yet there is no happy ending.How can you consider Jupiter as a benefic when this sort of traumatic development takes place in a native's life?The same is the case with Venus who exemplifies the dictum Karako Bhavanasha.If at all there is any saving grace it is only Saturn's, who caused the marriage and is averting the divorce as the lord of the 8th.This is a case where we see benefics turn malefic and malefic Saturn act as a benefic. Even when benefics turn into malefics and mar marriages, Saturn, the so-called malefic, acts virtually as a benefic and ensures marital happiness.Although he is slow and sluggish he averts marital accidents; he gives long lasting marital bliss, and is the real lord of marriage. The lord of time, Saturn times events.As the lord of longetivity, he determines the death of natives.As a teacher he teaches equanimity so that native can become a Sthitapragna or equipoised.The sadhesathe ( 7 1/2 year cycle of Saturn ) occurs in all charts at least twice.This period grooms natives into perfect human beings, by exposing them to untold miseries.An ubiquitous and omnipotent Saturn leads every native towards wisdom. * Article taken from "The Astrological Magazine" ; April 2001; Author: K.D.P.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 hari om tat sat --------------- Namaste Guru Zoran, I couldn't agree more with you on this. For the last couple of years I have been trying to get the parameters for timing marriages through D9 Narayana Dasa, and it has been eluding me. Ofcourse parameters like UL, Navamsa Lagna/Lord, Venus & 7H/L are basic and obvious. But, one has to go beyond this and consider each dasa, the influence on it, its lords and analyze the chart as a whole. Without the holistic approach, and using rigid set of rules, will only lead to confusion and an occasional hit!! As Gurudeva aptly put it in his "Narayana Dasa" book : "Jyotish cannot be bunch of rules. There is a finer understanding of these rules that makes this subject an ART as well as a SCIENCE" Regards -Skanda sjvc, Zoran Radosavljevic <ahimsa@N...> wrote: > Om Namo Narayanaya, > Dear Friends and list members, > I do not know whether you examined this article in detail.
