Timing of Marriage

[Guest guest]

Q: Sir, how to find the ‘timing of marriage’, in a horoscope? I request you to

list the basics to find the ‘probable’ period when marriage is likely to take

place. Thank you, sir. Rita….. , Bilaspur, IndiaAs per present law, a girl

cannot marry before her attaining 18 years of age. As days of yore, early

marriage for girls is defunct and the days and individual’s out look has changed

lot, from days of early applications of Vedic Astrology. Hence, the present day

marriages could be termed as ‘delayed marriages’,

The age for qualification for marriage is, as now, 18 years for girls and 21

years for males.

There is a view among eminent astrologers, under all schools of Astrology, that

the ‘relation’ between a man and a woman happens in the ‘first’ physical

relationship between them and this will be indicated in the Astrological

analysis. The other contention is, that a man just standing next to a woman at a

selected ‘muhurtha’, declaring before the elites accepting a girl as ‘life

partner‘, is deemed to be ‘married’ and these Astrological definitions are said

to become effective indicating ’marriage’ between them However, I leave this for

the present, as these definitions are being discussed for years among

astrologers, perhaps for centuries, as no clear definition is available for the

word ‘VIVAH’ in Astrology terms.

I give the following rules for finding the ‘probable’ period when a person is

likely to be ‘married‘, to be found in a horoscope. These, I have listed from

various scriptures, over a period of time.

1. If the 7th house from the Lagna (Ascendant) in the birth chart happens to be

the Lagna in the Navamsa chart and 7th lord is in the 12th house from Lagna,

marriage before 20 years indicated*

2. If 2nd and 11th lords exchange houses in a chart of the person, marriage for

before his/her25th year is indicated.*

3. When Venus is in a kendra and the 7th lord is situated in a sign owned by

Saturn , in aspect of a benefic, marriage between 23 and 28 years is indicted.*

4. 2nd house is occupied by Venus and the seventh lord is in the 11th house, the

marriage will take place between 23 to 28 years.*

5. When second lord is in the 11th house from Lagna, and Lagna Lord is in the

10th house, marriage before 20 years indicated.*6.

7. If Sun is in 7th house from Lagna 7th Lord is in conjunction with Venus in a

Kendra, marriage may take place between 23 years to 25 years of age. If 7th Lord

or Venus is afflicted, marriage will take place between 30 and 30 years.*When

the seventh house is occupied by Venus, Moon, and Saturn, marriage for him/he

will take place after 30 years.*‘*’ The mark above is to warn an Astrologer to

be very cautious before arriving at the age, under Vimshothri desa periods,

after studying favorable Planetary combinations, which is given below. That is,

if the ‘periods’ could not ‘qualify’ for the marriage, the above age

‘indication’s, may not be effective.

8. The marriage is likely to take place during the desa period of 7th Lord. Or,

9. In the Desa and Anthar desas of the 7th Lord from the Moon or Venus, the

marriage could take place. Or

10. When Jupiter, by Gochara transits in the 2nd or 5th or 7th or 9th and 11th

from the Ascendant and Venus , marriage for that person could take place. Or,

11. When lord of 7th house Venus, transits in a sign in Gochra, Which is Rasi or

Navamsa owned by the lord of Lgna , marriage could take place. Or,

12. When Venus or Lord of 7th house transit’s a Trikona sign occupied by the

lord of the Ascendant in Rasi or in Navamsa , then marriage could be expected to

take place.

13. First, it should be found out the lord of 7th house in both Rasi and Navamsa

Kundali. The, ascertain which of these lords is stronger (by occupation,

ownership and position from Lagna, as well as in aspect from beneficial

planet/s). Marriage for that person will take place in the major period of the

stronger planet among those. Or,

14. Marriage could take place , in the Desa and Bukthi periods of the lords of

2nd and 7th houses , as well as planets, if any, associated with them. Or,

15. Marriage may also take place, when Jupiter transit’s a Trikona house , to

the Rasi ‘Navamsa occupied by lord of the 7th house. Or,

I6. If Jupiter or Venus is strong in a person’s horoscope, marriage could take

place on their Desa or Bukti periods, while these planets are well placed and in

aspect of benefic planets.

17. Venus associated with 7th lord is also a favorable period for marriage. Or,

18. The planet occupying the constellation of the 7th lord is also qualified to

favor marriage in its Desa and /or Bukthi period of that Planet. (Explanation:

Aslesha, Jeshta and Revati are the star zones for Mercury - Budha. Lagna be

Pieces - Meena. The seventh - Virgo - Kanya - lord would be Mercury. If Mars is

in one of the star zones of Mercury in the birth chart, then Mars qualifies to

perform marriage in its Desa and/or Bukthi period - of a favorable planet’s Desa

period)

19. If Rahu or Ketu is situated with lord of 7th house, and is in any house in

the birth chart, either of these will qualify to favor marriage. Or,

20. If the lord of Lgna is in the 7th house and the lord of 7th house in Lagna

either of them could cause marriage event. Or,

21. The Desa periods and sub periods of 5th, 9th and 10th Lords may also give

marriage. Or,

22. Desa and sub-periods of the lord of the sign occupied by 2nd lord may give

marriage. Or,

23. Desas and sub periods of the lords of the 9th and 10th houses may also give

marriages.

 

These are the probable periods. Many more combinations and details are available

in various books by many others. These are few of the ‘leads‘, in which many are

able to fix the timing of marriages.
