Marriage is a must-must like event in life. In
India, the current minimum age of marriage is 18 years and 21years for women
and men respectively. Regarding the late marriage, the questions that naturally
arise in our minds are what is the age range of early marriage, late or delayed
marriage and right age marriage? Right? In answering these questions striking
the balance between prevailing law, astrological principles, the current norms
of the society, and career prospective, we can perhaps say that the approximate
age range for early marriage, marriage at right age and late marriage age for
male and female are approximately as below: –
Early marriage age range for female: – between
25 and 26
Early marriage age range for male: – between 27
and 28
Right age marriage for female: – between 27 and
30
Right age for male: -between 28 and 32
Late marriage age for female: – above 30 years
Late marriage age for male: – above 32 years.
Late marriage is a burning issue for each and
every family. A sizeable number of clients visit astrologers for marriage,
marriage break up, and delayed or late marriage related issues. We see in real
life that few men and women get married late or very late and a few even do not
get married notwithstanding they are good looking, well educated, have
successful career, and belong to a good family background. The marriage does
not just come to happen in their lives. We will dwell upon the astrological
reasons on this topic.
The Houses responsible for
delayed or late Marriage or No marriage in the Horoscope:
The 7th house is the house of marriage. It is the
main house of marriage and spouse. The 7th house from the
lagna/ascendant, and Moon sign or Chandra lagna/Chandra Rashi is examined for
all marriage related predictions. There is mention in our classical texts that
the 7th house from the planet Venus should also be consulted. That 7th
house or the lord of that 7th house whichever is the strongest
amongst the three should be given weighting as 7th house. The 6th,
8th and 12th houses and their lords also have bearing on
delaying marriage.
The Navamsa or the D9 chart is the divisional chart of the 7th
house. For reaching to the final decision and confirmation about any marriage
related issues the examination of the Navamsa Chart is indispensable. The
Navamsa lagna lord stands for our desire or willingness to get married. The
placement of the Navamsa lord in the 12th house or its weakness by
other means connotes to the lack of interest in marriage and thus creates
situation for late marriage or no marriage. Sometime later, I shall discuss
about the Navamsa chart in another post. It deserves to discuss
independently.
Planets Responsible for
delay in Marriage:
Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are the fixed karaka planets for
causing delay in marriage. Being the natural karaka or significator of delay,
Saturn is main planet for late marriage. Saturn’s association, aspect or
influence on the 7th house and/or on the 7th house lord
considerably delays marriage provided no mitigating influence is received from
benefic planets, especially from Jupiter. The Cancer and Leo ascendant natives
are seen a bit late in getting married as Saturn rules the 7th
houses for these two ascendants.
The lord of the 8th house if anyway associated
with 7th house and 7th lord also works as marriage
delaying agent. When the 7th house or/and the 7th house lord is/are
placed in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) then this position also
works as delaying agent of marriage. It is already said that Venus is the
Karaka of marriage for both men and women and also stands for wife in the men’s
horoscope; Jupiter stands for husband in women’s horoscope. So, the placement
of Venus and Jupiter in the fixed signs also works in a bit delaying the
marriage. Retrograde planets also play roles in delaying marriage. Retrograde
Venus, Jupiter and 7th lord defer marriage. If 2nd or/and 7th house
is/are placed with retrograde planet then this position defers the marriage.
Lastly but importantly, weak, repressive, debilitated and combusted 7th
lord delays marriage.
Combinations for delay or
NO Marriage:-
The 7th house
of a birth chart is the house of marriage. So, the 7th house, 7th lord,
the Nakshatras of the 7th house and 7th lords
have a role in telling about marriage and spouse. Venus is the significator of
marriage and stands for wife in a male chart. In a female chart Jupiter stands
for husband.
So, Venus
and Jupiter play important role in foretelling all about marriage and spouse.
The Navamsa chart or D9 chart is the divisional chart for marriage. So, the
Navamsa chart is also called the Spouse chart. Checking the Navamsa for
precisely predicting marriage related issues indispensible.
Therefore,
no matter related with marriage can be confirmed without examining the Navamsa
chart or D9 chart; while, saying this, there is a very important point to keep
in mind that the Navamsha chart cannot override the promise, prize or
punishment indicated by the main birth
chart or Lagna chart or D1 chart. (D1= Lagna chart= main birth chart).
For
example, if the marriage situation is severely inflicted in the Lagna chart and
the same is not inflicted in the Navamsa chart, then the Navamsha chart cannot rectify
the situation. If Lagna kundali is indicating a much delayed marriage and the
same signal is also given by the Navamsa kundali then surely marriage will be
delayed. Again, if the lagna kundali indicates separation or divorce and the
Navamsa chart also upholds this situation then it is a sure signal of
divorce. In this post, I shall discuss a
few basic dictums of how a delayed marriage or no marriage situations are
identified in a chart.
1) A strong Navamsa Lagna and Lagna lord indicate the desire for marriage. The Navamsa lord placed in the 12 house indicates no desire for marriage.
2) The 7th house lord of the D1 chart placed in the 12th house also indicates no interest in marriage.
3) Saturn in the 7th house and flanked by malefic from both sides in the D1 chart indicates no marriage. The presence of this position in the Navamsa chart confirms no marriage.
4) If 7th house and 7th house lord are receiving multiple inflictions in both the charts (D1 & D9) then no marriage situation is assured.
5) Multiple inflictions in 2nd/4th/12th houses or more than one or all of them in the D1 chart and D9 chart indicates no marriage.
6) 7th house of D1 and D9 charts are having the lords of 6th/8th/12/ house or more than one of them and no benefic aspect is received and is combust or retrograde or debilitated indicates no marriage.
7) Lord of the 6th/8th/12th house is posited in the 7th house of D1 and D9 chart and he is combusted or debilitated or in retrograde and without benefic aspect especially from the Jupiter indicates no marriage.
8) 7th house or lord of the 7th house of D1 and D9 charts and Jupiter in a female chart and Venus in a male chart are afflicted indicates no marriage.
9) Afflicted Venus or Venus and Mercury in the 7th houses of D1 and D9 charts indicate no marriage.
10) Venus/Sun/Moon afflicted in the 6th/8th/12th house of both charts indicates no marriage.
11) Saturn or Saturn and Rahu in the 7th house and no benefic aspect to them indicate a delay in marriage.
12) 2nd house affliction in both the charts indicated a delay in marriage or no marriage.
13) The affliction of 7th house and 7th lord in the D9 chart indicates a delay in marriage.
14) Close degree conjunction of 7th lords of D1 and D9 charts with the lords of 6th/8th/12th house indicates a delay in marriage.
15) Saturn and Rahu in the 12th house of D1 or D9 chart without benefic aspect from Jupiter or Venus delays in marriage beyond 36 years.
16) The presence of Mangal dosha in the Kundali and Mars is combusted or retrograde or debilitated indicated delay in marriage or even no marriage.
17) Saturn and Sun are in lagna and/or lagna lord hemmed in between two malefic is likely denying the marriage.
18) Saturn and Sun in 7th house indicates a much-delayed marriage. This combination in a female chart may also deny marriage.
19) Rahu in the 7th house or 9th house and aspected by malefic indicates denial of marriage.
20) 7th lord in 8th house or conjunction of 7th and 8th lords in the 7th or 8th house delays marriage.
21) 2nd house is severely afflicted and its lord is placed in 12th house in retrograde position delays the marriage.
22) 2nd house is aspected by retrograde planet or retrograde planet joins the 2nd house delays the marriage.
23) Saturn and Moon in 7th house results in late marriage.
24) Lagna lord’s placement in the 7th house gives the native a very independent and not much caring nature for marriage which leads to delay in marriage.
25) Navamsa lagna represents our desire or willingness for marriage. 12th house placed or otherwise weak Navamsa lagna lord promotes to the lack of interest in marriage and thereby leads to late marriage.
26) The lords of the 2nd house and 7th house are conjoined with malefic and weak marriage karak Venus indicate delay in marriage.
27) The Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus in the 10th house also create obstacles in timely marriage.
28) 7th lord in conjunction with Saturn or in opposition to Saturn delays in marriage
29) Venus and Saturn conjunction or opposition indicates late marriage.
Concluding point: –
All of the above-mentioned conditions cannot be present in a single horoscope. The presence of a few of them makes the marriage delay and when 4 or more than 4 such conditions are present in a single horoscope, then it can indicate absolute denial of marriage.
Remedies to get rid of late marriage: –
1)Worship with devotion Sri Krishna and Radha by keeping their photo their joint photo in the tabernacle or Kaali for 15 days beginning from the first day of Sukla pakshya/bright fortnight.
2) Donate red clothes to married women on Tuesday.
3) Wear Yellow Sapphire of about 3 carets (not more than 3.5 carets) in a gold made ring in your index finger of right-hand on a Thursday morning and a Turquoise or Firoza of about 6 carets in platinum or silver made ring in your ring finger of right hand on Friday morning. Wear both only after Pran-Pratistha is done. Also note that if these two rings are gifted by father than it is seen that they become more effective.
4) Boil potatoes and color them with yellow color and feed them to a black milch cow.
5) Strengthen or propitiate the 7th house lord by chanting its Mantra on kamal Gatta Rosary.
Note: – Perform any two of the above-mentioned remedies.
