Romance, Marriages and Relationships

Astrologically Venus is known as the goddess of love. In a male horoscope Venus represents his to be wife. Mars is the energy that super charges this love. Rahu multiplies it to the extreme level.

But desires, pleasure and true love are three different things. Each plays a role in human life and with minute observation one can really deduce their level of intensity in a human life. For example I have always seen Rahu and Venus combination ending in a sudden love marriage, provided Mars is set free from blemishes.

In other cases I have seen that a dasha of Venus or planet like Rahu with Venus also results in an affair. (It can also result in an extra marital affair as well.). But in most of the cases Rahu Venus combination also denotes physical level of love rather than real love. This happens with more intensity when Jupiter is under some kind of blemish. In contrary to this Venus with Jupiter or Jupiter Venus exchange also results in love marriage some times. But this is more on a subtle level and has a grace which lacks in Rahu Venus case.

Watery signs bring more extremity to the passion and emotions. These combinations may result in emotional bonding and attachments. Sometimes when Moon is combined to Saturn and Venus Rahu combines then results are entirely different and sometimes drastic. For a long lasting relationship a male horoscope should always carry a strong Venus, both in D-9 and the ascendant chart. The seventh house should be free from Rahu, Saturn Mars relationship. Ketu should be free of blemishes and should not be placed in the seventh house.

In a female horoscope Jupiter should be strong and free from blemishes. It can be checked in both the charts. A debilitated and weak Jupiter is not good for a happy married life. With this Ketu, Saturn Mars and Rahu should not influence the seventh house.

A malefic Rahu and its dasha in a female horoscope may result in a highly ambitious personality. Such a lady may collapse her relationships when compared against her ambitions.
I have seen people matching their horoscope based on Ashtkoot compatibility. Some more advanced brains even use names for compatibility. Please note that both these methods carry big loopholes and I consider the second method to be the most unreliable one. After checking for Gunas one should look for condition of seventh house lords, Venus, Jupiter, current dasha , blemishes on seventh house, Rashi relationship and only then one can announce the real match. I have a example where a lady has a match of 36 Gunas and she got divorced. She is living all alone in USA. Her seventh house carried a debilitated Mars with Saturn aspect from tenth house. Her Jupiter was also debilitated.(A debilitated Jupiter in the ascendant combined to fourth, seventh, ninth or twelfth house lord in d-4, often results in a foreign travel)

I have noticed through experience that the placement of seventh house lord in a dual sign may also result in a second marriage provided the marriage was done at an early age of twenty one to twenty four. Blemishes created by Mars and Saturn can be avoided by simply avoiding an early marriage.

People are also concerned about Magalike Dosha. While Mangal means Shubha in Vedic terms, it is often associated to a dosha. Mars actually denotes energy. A channelization of energy is denoted by ascendant lord, Moon and associations to Mars. If energy is not channelized in a proper manner it can often results in malefic outbursts and hence can result in a separation.
Mere placement of Mars in ascendant (Narad Shanita), second house or so cannot and should not be considered a dosha.
There are few other point which must be noticed while analyzing some one for relationship:

1. Male or female, both horoscopes should be checked for condition of Jupiter in D-9 and D-1.
2. Seventh house, twelfth house and Moon should be checked for mentality.
3. Rahu, Venus and Mars combination in twelfth house or any other house should be checked thoroughly. Consider Mercury and Jupiter and you can estimate the amount of cheating this person can do.
4. Check for the last finger of both the hands, A bend in the opposite direction or certain blemishes should be checked.
5. Mars, Saturn+Mars, weak Ketu, Rahu+Venus+M ars, Rahu+Mars are certain combinations which indicate some bad habits. Check for influences of Mercury and Jupiter and you can ascertain what a person is upto.
