On marriages and breakups...

[Guest guest]

Hi all,Marriage is looked at quite differently by those in the west compared to

we Indians' attitude towards it; here, it still remains a pivotally important

event in a person's life. Live-in relationships are getting popular in India

too, but the numbers are way insignificant.I've a few queries on this theme:1.

Can the same astrological astrological principles of marriage be applied to

charts in the west too, the above-mentioned difference notwithstanding? After

all, an astrologer's answers can't be divorced (pun accidental) from the

environment in which the querist lives in; indeed, Raman has insisted that such

familiarization be top of the list of protocols an astrologer follows before

embarking on any analysis. There must be some differences in a chart that might

point to a live-in relationship vis-a-vis one in which a marriage is indicated;

Rahu in 7th with a weak Venus or Mars, maybe?

 

Visti: These principles are clearly explained when it comes to Upapada and

Marriage. Analysing the Upapada vs Venus and Darapada, you can see if the

couple knew each other before marriage.

 

2. How can a divorce be foretold in a chart? Some of the things I thought up

are:- Venus weakly placed and afflicted by malefics- Seventh lord in a

dusthana- No favorable aspects on either the seventh or second house- Marriage;

without it, there can't be a divorce :)I'd look for the above in both D-1 and

D-9.

 

Visti: 2nd from Upapada shows the troubles, as well as the 2nd from the house of

the spouse(7th).3. Are there any yogas for bachelorhood or spinsterhood? Lack of

planetary strength for Venus and 7th lord in both D-1 and D-9, perhaps...

 

Visti: Bachelorhood, can be indicated by much malefic association on the

Upapada. You must see why the person doesn't wanto marry from other

indications.. Saturn in 5th house, gives a person who has many shortterm

relations.. much more to analyse in this regard.

Read the past posts regarding marriage carefully.

 

Best wishes, Visti.
