Failure in Love and Romantic Affairs

Love and romance are judged from the fifth house and its lord in a natal chart and consequently the fifth sign Leo in the Zodiac. The chief significator of these is Venus for a male being and Mars for a lady. The additional factors are respectively the Moon and the Sun. Jupiter being the significator of the offspring also plays some role in this. Of course, the influence of Jupiter makes this love idealistic and if suitably blessed by strong and unafflicted Saturn can make the affairs even platonic. In a natal chart, the sixth, the eighth and the twelfth houses are termed as inauspicious. Particularly, the twelfth house being the eighth house counted from the fifth house signifies failure in love and even some unexpressed or unuttered romance. Saturn being the hermit planet if related with the fifth house and/or its lord or the sign Leo or the respective significators signifies reluctance and indifference in love affairs as also ultimate breakage of tie whereas Rahu signifying obstruction and ultimate breakage signifies these results in this matter and also makes the relation more passionate rather than soft and pleasing sensations. Therefore, deposition of Venus in the eighth or particularly twelfth house signifies failure in romance for a male being and the same with respect to Mars for a female being. The deposition of the respective significator in the twelfth house signifies unexpressed romance and thereby causes mental depression for the native within the self.

Case 1:

Rahu 9		Birth:- 1/1/1962 8:25 A.M.(Shrirampur)	Sat 21   Jup 22 Ketu 23 Asc
Hers 10 ® Pluto 11 ®		Nept 15 Moon 15		Mars 19      Ven 19 Sun 20    Merc 20

Analysis: - In this chart, the fifth lord Venus, eleventh lord Mars, eighth lord Sun and the sixth lord Mercury are all posted in the twelfth house while the Ascendant Capricorn is occupied by the lord Saturn in the constellation of the eighth lord Sun and combined with twelfth lord Jupiter in the constellation of the seventh lord Moon, Jupiter although debilated but debilation cancelled due to association of the Ascendant lord Saturn. Ascendant is further occupied by self-centric Ketu and aspected by the strong malefic Rahu from the seventh house aspected by Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. Rahu being the source of perversion, the native due to repeated failure in secret love affairs ultimately became perverted which is also reinforced by the placement of seventh lord Moon in the zodiacal seventh sign Libra ruled by Venus and posted in the constellation of Rahu and aspected by the Ascendant lord Saturn. Association of Moon with Neptune further intensified the peculiar romanticism combined with perversion.     

Case 2:

Ven Hers			Rahu	Jup
Asc Sun Merc Pluto		Birth: 24/07/1950 05:00 A.M. Kolkata
Sat	Mars Ketu Nept	Moon

Analysis: - The chart belongs to a lady who during her teenage fell in love with a boy who betrayed the native. Thereafter, she again fell in love with another boy but this time she could not expressed this to the boy clearly and the matter therefore ended unexpressed. She however later got married to an Air force commander who was not very responsive in love affairs. It is to be noted that here Venus is posted in the twelfth house from the Ascendant in the dual sign Gemini which resulted in failure in love in two cases and the combination of Uranus brought some peculiarity in the second case.      

Case 3:

	Ketu
Jup Hers		Birth : - 14/09/1955 8:52 A.M. (Barasat)
Sun Mars Pluto Moon	Merc Ven	Asc Sat Nept	Rahu

Analysis: - This chart also belongs to a lady of Libra Ascendant occupied by the fifth lord hermit Saturn and squired by third and sixth lord exalted Jupiter combined with Herschel. In this case, the deposition of Ascendant/eighth lord Venus in the twelfth house and lying in between the malefics resulted in totally unexpressed love affairs to the person concerned. The affliction of the seventh house by Saturn and the association of the seventh lord with destructive planet Pluto in the barren sign Leo together with the mutual relation of the fifth lord exalted Saturn posted in the Ascendant in angle with the exalted Jupiter made the native confirmed bachelor in life.     

Case 4:

Sat 5 Ketu 6			Mars 27 Moon 26
Sun 8 Merc 8 ®		Birth: - 21/07/1973 10:15 A.M. Barasat	Jup 22 ®
Ven 10	Asc Hers 14 Pluto 12		Nept 17	Rahu 20

      

Analysis: - The chart belongs to a boy of Virgo Ascendant having Venus in the twelfth house in the constellation of Ketu and aspected by Saturn and Rahu. Seventh house is occupied by the eleventh lord Moon and eighth lord Mars in mutual aspect with Saturn combined with Ketu. The seventh lord Jupiter is debilated in the fifth house and aspected by Rahu debilated in the fourth house in the constellation of Venus posted in the twelfth house. These combinations resulted in the native’s failure in romantic affairs in the sub period of Venus in the major period of Mercury. The conjugal life of the native is also unhappy due to the deposition of destructive Mars and the quick moving Mercury combined with the debilated seventh lord in the fifth house and afflicted by Rahu.    

Case 5:

Ven 6 Sat 7	Sun 3 Merc 5 Ketu 3	Asc	Mars 26 Jup 27
		Birth: - 19/05/1975 03:40 A.M. Kolkata
Moon 10	Pluto 13 ®	Hers 14 ®	Rahu 17 Nept 18 ®

Analysis: - The chart belongs to a lady who fell in love with a gentleman out of her society and community on the assurance that the man would marry her, but this did not ultimately came fruitful. This was due to the placement of Mars and the ninth lord Jupiter in the twelfth house and sign as well. Later, the girl was married to a person of her own community but this was not a happy marriage due to the placement of Mars in the twelfth house and aspecting the seventh lord Venus in the third house in association with Saturn, Mars and Saturn being in mutual aspect with each other. Further, the combination of Mars and Jupiter in the twelfth house is aspected by Rahu from the eighth house.   

Case 6:

		Birth: - 16/12/1968 04:12 A.M. Kolkata	Ven 22
	Mars 14 Ketu 13 Jup 13 Hers 13 Pluto 12	Moon 15	Asc Nept 17	Sun 19 Merc 19

Analysis: - This chart also belongs to a lady who is by profession a doctor. In this case, the ninth lord Moon is posted in the twelfth house in the constellation ruled by Rahu while Rahu is posted in the fifth house combined with Saturn and in mutual aspect with Mars and Jupiter in the eleventh house. From the Moon sign Mars is posted in the twelfth house combined with the fifth lord Jupiter this resulted in an unhappy marriage for the lady who later fell in love with a person of her own profession but having being married and out of her own society. Consequently, such a peculiar romantic affair did not come fruitful.

Case 7:

Moon 7 Hers 7		Jup 3
Merc 9 ® Ketu 9 Pluto 9		Birth : - 17/08/1952 10:10 A.M. Howrah	Rahu 23
Sun 10 Ven 11	Sat 13 Nept 14	Asc	Mars 16

Analysis: - This chart belongs to the doctor relating with the lady in case 6. In this case, although Venus is posted in the eleventh house but the fifth lord Saturn is posted in the twelfth house combined with Neptune, the planet for mysterious romance. Fifth house is aspected by Mars who is also aspected by Saturn while Saturn is also aspected by Rahu posted in the fourth house in the constellation of Mars.

Case 8:

	Sat 4
Ketu 9		Birth: - 23/08/1971 06:30 A.M. Mysore	Mars 22 Rahu 22
Asc Moon 12 Sun 10 Merc 10 Ven 10	Hers 13 Pluto 13		Jup 17 Nept 17

Here, the ascendant is Leo occupied by the lord Sun, twelfth lord Moon, eleventh lord Mercury and the third lord Venus in the constellation ruled by Ketu who is itself posted in the twelfth house. This resulted in the unsuccessful romance of the two natives.

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 ®

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.
