Chart 23
Query: "When will my daughter's marriage will take place?"

This is the chart of the daughter:

The sign Taurus rises in the ascendant and the planets the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn are favorable planets. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are the functional malefic (unfavorable) planets. The Moon acts as a Sun-like planet.

The native raised this query about the marriage prospects of her daughter when the daughter was running the sub period of Rahu in the main period of Rahu in the year 2001. He was informed that the most malefic planet Jupiter afflicts the seventh house closely. The Sun is strong in the birth chart and becomes the prime determinant of marriage. No mooltrikona sign rises in Navamsa and no planet becomes the additional prime determinant of marriage matters.

The sub period of Rahu was to be followed by the sub period of afflicting most malefic planet Jupiter. The Moon and Mercury are weak in the birth chart due to extreme old age and the Moon is combust as well. Jupiter and Mars are weak as their dispositors are weak. Venus is weak due to infancy and it occupies its own mooltrikona sign. Ketu closely afflicts weak Jupiter which is another significator of marriage being the lord of the eighth house. Whenever there is close affliction of the most malefic planet to the house of marriage the marriage gets delayed indefinitely. The sub period of strong Sun was to come only in February 2015.

Conclusion: “In view of the above mentioned planetary weaknesses and strong afflictions it was concluded that the marriage is likely to be inordinately delayed. Astral remedies suggestion was made in October, 2001 which was not followed by the native and his daughter. The result is that the daughter remains unmarried even in 2016.”

In this case all of the seventh, second, fourth, eighth and twelfth houses ruling marriage have mooltrikona signs. The sign Aquarius rises in the ascendant of navamsa (DIX) and planet Saturn becomes the additional prime determinant for marriage. The lord of the seventh house Moon is strong. The most effective points of fourth, second, eighth and twelfth are under the exact affliction of Rahu or Ketu and this brings weakness to their lords which are: Mars, Saturn, Sun and Jupiter. The native made this query when his daughter was in the sub period of Rahu in the main period of Mercury in the year 2001. Mars is weak in the birth chart due to infancy and Mercury is weak due to bad placement and weakness of its dispositor, Jupiter. Venus is fairly strong but debilitated in navamsa (DIX). Saturn ruling the second house of family is under the exact malefic aspect of the most malefic planet, Sun.

Conclusion: “After analyzing the planetary influences in the birth chart it was concluded that the marriage was likely to be delayed indefinitely and the native was advised accordingly. Astral remedies suggestion was made in October, 2001 which was not followed by the native and his daughter. The result is that the daughter remains unmarried even in 2016.”
