Vistiji - Could you kindly elaborate on a point ?

[Guest guest]

Respected Vistiji,

 

You have said, "It will be an arranged marriage due to the aspects of

eighth lords on the upapada"

 

What are the aspects on Upapada which indicate arranged marriage &

what aspects indicate Love marriage ?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anand
