Astrological factors for unhappy marriage Part 1

In a natal chart marriage and the conjugal life are judged from the 7^th house and its lord. The domestic happiness is judged from the 4^th house and its lord. In the Zodiac these are signified by the signs Libra and Cancer together with their lords viz. Venus and Moon respectively. For a male being the significators for wife are  Venus and Moon, the former in particular while for a female being those for husband are Mars and Sun, the former in particular. For a happy conjugal life these houses and their lords and the significators should be influenced by benefics viz. Jupiter. But for unhappy marriage, influence of natural malefics like Mars, Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu should be exerted on the corresponding houses. In addition, the malefic houses and their lords’ viz. 6^th, 8^th and 12^th houses should also be related with the 7^th and the 4^th houses, the former in particular. Relation of Mars signifies separation or death of the spouse that of Sun signifies unhappy conjugal relation due to vanity of the spouse for coming of a higher family. Relation of Saturn causes separation due to misunderstanding or intrusion of mean natured people in conjugal matters. Relation of Rahu causes unhappiness due to extramarital contacts of the native. Relation of Ketu signifies separation due to indifferent attitude of the partner. Relation of Mercury signifies legal actions in marital affairs or the impotency of the partner. Relation of Moon causes unhappiness due to frequently changing mind of the native in the matter of selection of partners. These effects are further intensified by the association or aspect of different malefics. For a female being, judgment should be made more from the Moon sign than the Ascendant as the influence of Moon is more important for a female being. In addition, the effect of the dreaded Bhouma Dosha should be noted in particular which is developed by the deposition of Mars in the Ascendant, 4^th, 7^th, 8^th and 12^th houses of the natal chart or from the Moon sign. However, influence of benefic Jupiter and the strength of 9^th house and its lord and the disposition of the 9^th sign of the Zodiac viz. Saggitarius will reduce the malefic effects to some degree. These principles are illustrated with the following examples: -          

Case 1:

Mars 7 Hers 6	Asc		Moon 27 Rahu 27
Sun 9 Pluto 9		Birth:- 14/08/1949 After 00:10 A.M.(Kolkata) Balance Merc Dasa up to 9 years Balance Merc Dasa 05/12/58	Jup 21 ®
Merc 11 Ven 12 Sat 11	Ketu 14 Nept 13

Case Study: -

The native became entangled in a romantic affair but immediate after marriage due to the interference of the matrimonial relatives his conjugal life became disrupted and the tie was broken. 

 Analysis: -

The native was born under Taurus rising with the Ascendant/6^th lord Venus, the significator of romance and marriage being combined with the 2^nd/5^th lord Mercury and 9^th/10^th lord Saturn in the 4^th house and hemmed between malefics. The 5^th house is occupied by Ketu and Neptune and aspected by the 7^th/12^th lord Mars, 8^th/11^th lord Jupiter and the combination of Moon and Rahu. The 7^th house is aspected by malefic Rahu while the 7^th house from the Moon sign is occupied by Ketu and Neptune and aspected by debilated Jupiter and weak Mars. The 4^th lord Sun combined with Pluto is posted in the 3^rd house hemmed between malefics and aspected by debilated Jupiter as well as by Rahu combined with Moon. These combinations indicate that the native had developed a peculiar romantic affair which although resulted in marriage but the same could not continue for long due to the interference of some old and narrow minded relatives signified by Saturn. The native can not be happy in conjugal and other domestic affairs. The romantic affair of the native happened during sub-period of Mercury in the major period of Venus and the tie broken in the sub-period of Ketu of the same major period.

The 4^th/7^th lord Jupiter combined with the 3^rd/8^th lord Mars is posted in the 12^th house in Leo in the constellation of Venus and combined with malefic Rahu in the constellation of Ketu posted in the 6^th house thereby forming a strong malefic Bhouma Dosha. The 7^th sign Libra is occupied by Herschel while the 8^th sign Scorpio occupied by Moon and Mercury is combined with Neptune. These combinations signify the girl to be entangled in a peculiar matrimonial connection signified by Herschel and Neptune and the deposition of Sun and Venus while the strong Bhouma Dosha caused her separation leading to divorce.

These combinations confirmed the native’s being entangled in a number of illicit connections leading to his confinement in police custody and legal punishment as also divorce together with the disruption of relation with the issue due to the 5^th lord Venus being posted in the 12^th house from the Ascendant and its lord.

Mars 10 Sat 10	Rahu 12 Pluto 13	Hers 15	Nept 18

Case Study: -

The native married a software engineer working in U.S.A but developed no conjugal relation with husband. She  siphoned 26 lacs rupees from the account of her husband and filed a case against her husband and in-laws under section 498 and arranged to put them in custody for a couple of days. Later she filed a divorce suit against her husband on the plea of physical and mental torture which has been granted by the Hon’ble court without any maintenance.    

Analysis: -

The girl was born under Aquarius rising with the 6^th lord Moon posted in the Ascendant in the constellation of Rahu and in mutual aspect with strong malefics Mars and Saturn, both posted in the 7^th house in Leo in the constellation of Ketu thereby forming the very strong Bhouma Dosha. Ketu is posted in the 2^nd house in the constellation of Saturn and aspected by Rahu from the 8^th house and Mars from the 7^th house thereby afflicting the 2^nd house strongly. The Ascendant together with the Moon is also aspected by 2^nd/11^th lord Jupiter combined with 7^th lord Sun and 5^th/8^th lord Mercury posted in the 5^th house. The 4^th/9^th lord Venus, the significator of marriage is posted in the 6^th house in constellation of 5^th/8^th lord Mercury. The 7^th sign of the Zodiac i.e. Libra is occupied by Herschel and aspected by Saturn and Jupiter. The combination of Saturn and Mars in the 7^th house is also aspected by Rahu, the latter being also aspecting the 12^th house and the 4^th house. Thus, all the factors relating to conjugal and domestic happiness being afflicted by malefics along with the strong Bhouma Dosha, the girl disrupted the marital relation and put the in-laws in custody and ultimately the tie was broken legally.
