All about Delayed Marriage OR No Marriage.

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 7^th house is the house of marriage. It is the main house of marriage and spouse. The 7^th 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 7^th house from the planet Venus should also be consulted. That 7^th house or the lord of that 7^th house whichever is the strongest amongst the three should be given weighting as 7^th house. The 6^th, 8^th and 12^th houses and their lords also have bearing on delaying marriage.

The Navamsa or the D9 chart is the divisional chart of the 7^th 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 12^th 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 7^th house and/or on the 7^th 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 7^th houses for these two ascendants.

The lord of the 8^th house if anyway associated with 7^th house and 7^th lord also works as marriage delaying agent. When the 7^th 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 7^th lord defer marriage.  If 2^nd or/and 7^th house is/are placed with retrograde planet then this position defers the marriage. Lastly but importantly, weak, repressive, debilitated and combusted 7^th lord delays marriage.

Combinations for delay or NO Marriage:-   

The 7^th house of a birth chart is the house of marriage. So, the 7^th house, 7^th lord, the Nakshatras of the 7^th house and 7^th 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 7^th house lord of the D1 chart placed in the 12^th house also indicates no interest in marriage.

3)   Saturn in the 7^th 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 7^th house and 7^th house lord are receiving multiple inflictions in both the charts (D1 & D9) then no marriage situation is assured. 

5)   Multiple inflictions in 2^nd/4^th/12^th houses or more than one or all of them in the D1 chart and D9 chart indicates no marriage.

6)    7^th house of D1 and D9 charts are having the lords of 6^th/8^th/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 6^th/8^th/12^th house is posited in the 7^th 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)   7^th house or lord of the 7^th 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 7^th houses of D1 and D9 charts indicate no marriage.

10) Venus/Sun/Moon afflicted in the 6^th/8^th/12^th house of both charts indicates no marriage.

11)  Saturn or Saturn and Rahu in the 7^th house and no benefic aspect to them indicate a delay in marriage.

12)   2^nd house affliction in both the charts indicated a delay in marriage or no marriage.

13)  The affliction of 7th house and 7^th lord in the D9 chart indicates a delay in marriage.

14)   Close degree conjunction of 7^th lords of D1 and D9 charts with the lords of 6^th/8^th/12^th house indicates a delay in marriage.

15)   Saturn and Rahu in the 12^th 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 7^th house indicates a much-delayed marriage. This combination in a female chart may also deny marriage.

19) Rahu in the 7^th house or 9^th house and aspected by malefic indicates denial of marriage.

20) 7^th lord in 8^th house or conjunction of 7^th and 8^th lords in the 7^th or 8^th house delays marriage.

21) 2^nd house is severely afflicted and its lord is placed in 12^th house in retrograde position delays the marriage.

22) 2^nd house is aspected by retrograde planet or retrograde planet joins the 2^nd house delays the marriage.

23) Saturn and Moon in 7^th house results in late marriage.

24) Lagna lord’s placement in the 7^th 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. 12^th 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 2^nd house and 7^th house are conjoined with malefic and weak marriage karak Venus indicate delay in marriage.

27) The Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus in the 10^th house also create obstacles in timely marriage.

28) 7^th 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 7^th house lord by chanting its Mantra on kamal Gatta Rosary.

Note: - Perform any two of the above-mentioned remedies.
