Delayed Marriages

– different Method of analysis by Talagnayar V. Jayakumar Sastri, Vedic Astrologer

A. General:

“Guru-phalanx” for a Bride or Bridegroom in the Birth Chart indicates that their parents can make their best efforts to find suitable life partners and process alliances 

to conduct Marriage for them. This “Guru-phalanx” alone will not assure that the Marriage Settlement and Marriage Event can be fulfilled. If the Marriage Settlement stage is not reached during the process in the above period(time frame), and to find out why the Marriage Settlement is getting delayed for a girl or boy, it is necessary to analyze their Birth Chart in specific about the strength of Seventh, Second and Twelvth Houses or Bhavas from Janma Lagnam and the effects of ruling planets of these Bhavas in detail. While doing so, it is necessary to refer to the Bhava Chart, as planets in retrograde or Asthanga status and Rahu-Kethu(Shadowy) planets may be shifted to different signs. Important factors which delay the Marriage Settlement and Marriage Event of a Bride or Bridegroom are elaborately explained in the following paragraphs.

1. Seventh House or Bhava Indications:

In a Birth Chart, the Seventh House, or Bhava from Janma Lagna, speaks about the life partner. Firstly, lord of this Bhava, if it is weak and its transit 

strength(Chesta-Bala i.e., Motional Strength @ birth) is below average, then the marriage prospects are poor and we should understand the settlement of Marriage 

and Marriage Event is getting delayed. Secondly, the Sarvashtaga Varga value of the Seventh Lord(planet), if it is below average (less than 4 Bindus), then the 

above situation happens. Thirdly, the net value of “Ishta and Kashta Phala” strength of the Seventh Lord confirms the above status for the native, if it is 

“minus”(negative).

2. Second House or Bhava Indications:

The Second House or Bhava from Janma Lagna of a Birth Chart, speaks about the post-Marriage prospects of the native and his/her family's prosperity. Firstly, lord 

of this Bhava, if it is weak and its transit strength(Chesta-Bala i.e., Motional strength @ birth) is below average, then the Marriage prospects are poor and 

settlement of the Marriage Event is getting delayed. Secondly, the Sarvashtaga Varga value of the Second Lord(planet), if it is below average (less than 4 Bindus), 

then the above situation happens. Thirdly, the net value of “Ishta and Kashta Phala” strength of the Second Lord confirms the above status for the native, if it is 

“minus”(negative).

3. Twelvth House or Bhava Indications:

The Twelvth House or Bhava from Janma Lagna of a Birth Chart, speaks about the understanding of marrying couples within four walls. Firstly, lord of this 

Bhava, if it is weak and its transit strength(Chesta-Bala i.e., Motional strength @ birth) is below average, then the marriage prospects are poor, and settlement of 

The marriage and Marriage Event is getting delayed. Secondly, the Sarvashtaga Varga value of Twelvth Lord(planet), if it is below average (less than 4 Bindus), 

then the above situation happens. Thirdly, the net value of the “Ishta and Kashta Phala” strength of the Twelfth Lord confirms the above status for the native, if it is 

“minus”(negative).

Impression and Suggestions:

In order to fulfill the settlement of Marriage and a successful Marriage Event for a Bride or Bridegroom, it is vital to identify the planet or planets of Seventh, 

Second and Twelfth Houses/Bhavas in the native’s Birth Chart, specifically those, that have less strength as stated before. If the planet or planets did not has 

sufficient strength to fulfill the objective, the presiding deity or deities should be worshipped as prescribed in “Manthra Sastra” for good results. Here, the Karmic 

Indications and Karmic Control Planets are needed to be found and their value with reference to Marriage Prospects. As planets are interrelated through 

nakshatras, it is possible to decide the deity needs to be worshipped, and Manthra Sastra prescribes the Manthra of the deity/deities. This will definitely 

help the parents to process smoothly and conduct the Marriage of their wards at the appropriate time.
