Marriage is the union of two people of opposite sex, performed through rituals or legal process. Its purpose is to help achieve the four goals of life:
Dharma (duty)
Artha (wealth)
Kama (desires)
Moksha (spiritual liberation)
In Indian culture, marriage is seen as a sacred bond decided in heaven, which cannot be broken easily. But in many modern countries, it is often seen just as a legal contract.
From an astrological point of view, a successful marriage depends on:
Certain planetary combinations
The dasha (planetary period) running for each partner
The transit of planets
⏳ Timing of Marriage
Astrology divides the timing of marriage into:
Early Marriage
Normal Marriage
Late Marriage
Delayed Marriage
Denial of Marriage
🌱 Early Marriage (before 21 years)
Astrology shows that around 60–70% of marriages happen during the dasha or antardasha of the lords of:
1st House
5th House
7th House
Key combinations for early marriage:
Strong benefic planets in 1/7 axis; no malefic in 2/8 axis
Lagna lord, Venus, Jupiter, and 7th lord should be strong, placed in Kendra (angles) or Trikon (trines), not combust or retrograde, and not affected by Papkartari Yoga
Lagna lord should be close in degree to Venus or 7th lord
🌿 Normal Marriage (between 21 and 24 years)
Slight malefic influence on 1/7 or 2/8 axis (mild like Sun, Rahu, Ketu)
Venus & Jupiter should not be combust or retrograde
Presence of benefics in 4/10 axis
🌾 Late Marriage
Strong malefic influence (Saturn, Mars) on 1/7 and 2/8 axis
Venus or darakarak being combust or retrograde
Kuja Dosha / Mangal Dosha: Mars in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house
🪵 Delayed Marriage
Saturn’s strong role: especially with Sun, or in square with Venus (for male) or Mars (for female)
7th lord in 8th house, or 8th lord in 7th, or lagna lord in 12th house
❌ Denial of Marriage
Saturn controlling Moon & Venus: leads to no desire to marry, focus on spiritual life
Sun & Saturn together in 1/7 axis
Weak Venus and 7th lord (combust, under Saturn’s control)
Lagna lord, Venus, and 7th lord in unfertile signs; or if Sun, Moon, and Ascendant are all under Saturn’s aspect
❤️ Nature of Relationships & Happy Married Life
A good marriage brings joy, success, and fulfillment. In Indian tradition, marriage is a sacred sanskar; the spouse is called “Ardhangini” (better half).
Astrologically, these houses and planets matter most:
Lagna & Lagna lord: Foundation of all success
2nd house: Family and entry of spouse
4th house: Happiness (Sukhsthan)
5th house: Romance, progeny, Purva Punya (past life merits)
7th house: Main house of marriage; planets here and its lord decide marital happiness
8th house: Longevity; should be checked for marriage
12th house: Bed pleasure/sexual happiness
Moon: Controls mind
Venus: Karaka (significator) for marriage, love, semen
Mars: Significator of energy and passion
Also check Libra & Scorpio signs (natural 7th & 8th houses)
✅ Conclusion
If these factors are strong, married life will be very happy.
If they’re average, life will be normal.
If weak, married life can be difficult or unhappy.
