Let’s look out for some
more indications in chart which can mean delay or late marriage .These all
factors stands the test of time and will show their strong presence ,until and
unless really counterbalancing factors are present too, which we will discuss in
the later part of the article .So let’s jump into the action.
Retrograde planets play
important role in chart. Now there are two things, first is seventh house and
second its lord .In case of retrograde planets it matters less where they sit,
what matters more is which house they own .So for example if sign Capricorn
falls in seventh house and its lord Saturn becomes retrograde and it becomes
capable of delaying marriage irrespective where it is placed in chart .So in in
very general terms seventh lord if retrograde can probably signify a period of
intense waiting before things get settled in personal life.
Now if this retro 7th lord also forms difficult
conjunctions or receives challenging aspects, story takes different turn, and
rather just signifying delay in marriage, it can drastically remold the
structure of married life .This is entirely a different subject which deserves
individual attention.
It’s time to give more
detailed attention to much important 7th lord. Now strength of 7th lord plays important role.
Whenever it is weak or especially in 6th or 12th or even 8th house, it might indicate
delay in marriage .But again this is quite generalized way of looking at things,
but indeed we are talking in a very general way here. Some of the combinations
which might indicate delayed marriage are outlined below:
1. An empty Kendra and/or
Trikona houses .Yes this can delay affairs of marriage too.
2.7th lord with
6th/8th/12th lord in deep conjunction can give
late marriage
3. Role of Lunar nodes
Rahu-Ketu is also important .Though any affliction to 7th house by
these nodes indicate nature of marriage, it can also manifest itself in form of
delay in marriage .For ascertaining the final impact, 7th lord should be seen.
4. Navmansa is very
important in context of marriage. If similar combinations repeat in Navmansa i.e.
ninth divisional chart also, then late marriage becomes certainty.
Now let’s look at some of
the combinations which act as counterbalancing force in chart, which when in strength
can actually cancel many afflictions and give relatively early marriage,
otherwise overly delayed by difficult combinations .Here we go.
1. Jupiter comes first, of course!
Aspect of Jupiter on 7th house and/or 7th house is a
great saving grace. It act as protective shield in chart and alter trends in
one life in terms of relationship for better. If it is present then marriage
will be performed within accepted age range.
2. Position of softer
planets like Mercury, Venus and especially Moon favors early marriage, or more appropriate
will be to say that it counter balance other difficult yogas for late
marriages. Jupiter’s placement also provides security, provided it has got power,
so sign is equally important in 7th house.
3. If 7th lord
is very powerful, like sitting in 7th house only, else exalted, then
even in presence of late marriage combinations, marriage will get performed
within accepted age limits.
4. If conditions of 7th
house/7th lord improve drastically in Navmansa then it also act as
protective factor in chart.
These were some
combinations related to late marriage and their balancing counterparts. If more
than one late marriage combinations are present in chart then actually it
indicates the nature of marriage and married life thereafter. This is a separate
topic which I will cover in my future posts.
