Reasons for late marriage

 Marriage is an important milestone in every person’s life.

 Marriage is just not conjugal bliss and bedroom pleasure but it forges new relations through our off springs. Every person dreams of a life partner and married life.  But now with girls and boys, both becoming career conscious, marriage has lost priority and is the last thing on the minds of the youngsters. This has resulted in late marriages and, many people are marrying after their prime years.

        What can be the cause of late marriage astrologically ?

        And can the  people  predict it from their horoscopes ?

Yes like other things,  the horoscope provides enough pointers of whether the marriage will be late or not. In India the legal age for marriage for a groom is 21 years and  for the bride it is 18 years. It is almost the same throughout the world except for some African countries where the legal marriage age is lower. Earlier the legal age was lower but as times change  many things also change,  and so has the marriage age also undergone changes. Nowadays most people go for marriage in mid twenties or thereafter. A marriage which is beyond this time, somewhere in thirties can now be termed as late marriage.

The major planets which have significant effect on the time period of  marriage taking place  in a chart are Venus, Mars and Jupiter. If these planets are not well placed or are not healthy, marriage can get delayed.

Venus as we all know is planet of love. If Venus is conjunct with some malefic planet or even if Venus is aspected by malefic planet such as Saturn, ketu or sun it delays marriage. Venus if placed in Leo sign, it indicates late marriage. Sun is the enemy of Venus . Any relation between Sun and Venus delays marriage. Combust Venus may cause lack of interest in marriage and relationships and the native may avoid getting married thus delaying marriage.

7^th house is the house of partnerships and it also governs martial partnership that is marriage. The lord of the 7^th house, the tenant planets therein and the aspects to this house,  all will effect marriage of the native.  If Mars is placed in 7^th house it  leads  to Kuja Dosh /manglik dosha. In this case marriage after the age of 30 years is advisable. Mars matures at the age of 28 and thereafter much of its aggressive energy subsides.

As we all know Saturn will delay but will not deny , where ever it goes. Now If Saturn occupies the 7^th house,  the marriage is surely delayed. Again if Saturn is the Lord of 7^th house which is possible for Cancer and Leo Ascendants then a late marriage is advisable otherwise there maybe separation between husband and wife.

If the Lord of 7^th house is placed with a malefic , again marriage may get delayed.

Similarly retrograde, combust or debilited planets in 7^th house may delay marriage.

An interesting observation is that if Ketu is placed in 2,6,8,12 house the marriage usually takes place before the age of 25 years.

Late marriage is not a  set  back but an opportunity for the native to get well settled in career and life. A mature person is more likely to be able to handle the marriage problems and martial adjustments and lead  a happy married life.

What suits you more.... business or a job?

Many people are interested to know about their career. Most of the parents worry a lot about the future of their child. I have already discussed how we can know about the profession a native may choose after the analysis of a horoscope. Certain combinations give a sure indication of suitable profession. (Have a look at my article titled Professions) Just to remind, one can know about employment, occupation, honor, trade, and commerce from the tenth house. And to know the outcome of the profession that is the amount of income generated the 11^th house also called the Labha house is assessed

It is quite interesting to note that most of the people are interested to be an entrepreneur or do business .One of the reasons for this is that everyone feels that business gives more income rather than a job .Second important reason is that in business one is own master and is independent. In the job incomes are limited (in case of most jobs and to be a CEO one needs to climb a long ladder)

 In this article I would like to discuss what indicators tell whether the person will have an independent business or job, making it easy for the person to decide him- self/herself whether to be an entrepreneur or do business or take up a job.

1.     Planets in the seventh to twelfth houses strengthen the tenth house in the birth-chart. With a strong tenth house the possibilities for an independent business are quite high.

2.     Similarly, planets in the tenth to the third house make the Ascendant strong. A strong ascendant indicates a healthy body without which one cannot do much. Health is wealth is very well said. Also a strong ascendant increases the effects of positive Yogas in the horoscope. So strong ascendant increases the possibilities for an independent business.

3.     To start a career as an entrepreneur a person needs to have a strong willpower, be able to plan ahead and be far-thinking. But the most important trait of an entrepreneur / businessman is the ability to take risks. In a horoscope, the third house is the house of courage, hard decisions and challenges. So if the third house is in a strong position the person can become an entrepreneur/business person. 

4.     Business requires investment of lot of resources specially money. The money can come from rich family, or money which has been stored/saved that is strong second house (Other way of having investment money is getting loan ---debt which comes from strong sixth house.)

5.     Sun, Moon, Mars and Rahu are the planets of Purna Parmatmansh. The remaining ones are Jeevansh and Parmatmansh.  Due to the influence of planets of Purna Parmatmansh on the Ascendant or the Ascendant lord, the person will be able to take his decisions independently .This is a good indication and  increases  possibilities to become an independent entrepreneur/ businessman/woman

On the other hand in a job, a person has to follow the orders of others and usually not in a position to take decisions independently.

6.     Looking at the above points the Placement of five or more than five planets between tenth to third houses will increase the possibilities of business.

7.     A very important placement is the Position of Saturn and its effects on the tenth house/lord.
If Saturn becomes strong in the birth-chart and does not influence the Sun, Moon and the tenth house, then the person should choose independent business as a career. However, if Saturn is weak and influences Sun, Moon, and tenth house/lord then he should choose job as his occupation. Saturn is also considered a kaarak of job.

8.     Mars should be strong because the ability to face challenges and have courage to take hard decisions comes from Mars.

9.     The ninth house should be strong. It is the house of fortune. If the person has a strong and good fortune which we also call luck, then achieving success is easy.

10.   Success of every enterprise /business is measured by the amount of income earned .Income /labha is indicated by the 11^th house. A strong 11^th house is a positive indicator of an entrepreneur/ business person. Also presence of  Dhan yoga in the birth-chart creates a possibility for earning good income.(it can be both for the business /job)

Every businessman’s/entrepreneur’s horoscope will not have all the above traits but if the majority of them are met then one can go it alone and have a successful independent business/enterprise.

(NOTE: -- 7th house is the house of partnerships. Since this article relates to independent enterprise/business 7^th house has not been discussed. People with favorable and strong 7^th house can have partnership business)

Remedies for Kaal Sarp Yoga

Having Kaal Sarp yoga in ones horoscope is a frightening situation.  Kaal Sarp yoga is considered to be restraining the other good Yogas in the horoscope. Many astrologers attribute set-backs and reverses in life to the presence of Kaal Sarp yoga. Their fear and attitude is understandable.  With Kaal Sarp yoga in the horoscope the planets are not able to function properly and hence the native is deprived of any benefic planet effects.

(Rest of the Yogas are continued in the next post)

Know your Rahu and Ketu (I)

There are twelve (12) different types of Kaal Sarp yoga. The reason for this is very simple. It is because there are twelve houses and the placement of Rahu and Ketu in the twelve different houses causes twelve different type of Kaal Sarp yoga.

According to the great astrologer B.V.Raman, for Kaal Sarp yoga to form, Rahu must occupy one of the first six houses. He aslso states “evil gets intensified if Lagna is between Ketu and Rahu”   whereas             “evil is almost neutralized if Lagna is placed between Rahu and Ketu.

 Rahu Ketu axis favors a rise in mundane life while the Ketu and Rahu axis favors the spiritual life.

Before proceeding further it is appropriate to mention that Rahu like the planet Jupiter has 5^th, 7th and 9^th aspects.

1.       Anant Kaal Sarp yoga

This Kaal Sarpyoga is formed when Rahu is placed in the Lagna which is also the first house and Ketu in this case is placed in the 7^th house.

Rahu aspects 5^th,7^th,and 9^th house.

Effects The native having this form of Kaal Sarp yoga will be target to conspiracies of people who are quite close to him/her. In all likeliness this native will not win any court cases. So such a person should avoid taking matters to court and always prefer out of court settlements. Also such natives are short tempered, impatient and difficult to satisfy. With Ketu being placed in the 7^th house the married life of the native is also disturbed due to differences between the spouses. The native also faces lack of support from business partners/professional colleagues.

2.       Kulika Kaal Sarp yoga

This Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when Rahu is placed in the second house of the horoscope and Ketu is placed in the eighth house

Effects    Rahu being a malefic and is placed in the second house of the horoscope so it is bound to affect the finances and the mouth (language and food). Savings and accumulation of money will not take place leading to mediocre financial status.

The native may be a charming and convincing speaker/singer.

The native will be fond of exotic foods and may be fond of foods which are not meant for humans. Native should be careful of eating habits and diet.

 Rahu in the second house aspects (5^th aspect of Rahu) the sixth house which is the house of diseases and debts. This means the native may have huge debts and loans which are in support of Rahu being placed in the second house (little savings)

The native also suffers health problems due to aspect of 6^th house by Rahu

With Ketu in eighth house the ancestral properties, the legacies as well as inheritance all gets dispersed. This adversely affects the financial status of the native.

Ketu in 8^th house also makes the native prone to curses and psychic attacks.

3.       Vasuki Kaal Sarp yoga. This Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when Rahu is placed in the third house and Ketu is placed in the ninth house.

Effects   Rahu in the third house which is house of siblings, short travels and communications. All these get adverse effect due to presence of malefic Rahu. Relations with siblings will be troublesome .The younger sibling of such a native will be very ambitious. The native will not be  good at  communication and needs to be extra careful with his communications specially the written documents. Also the native maybe good at manipulating instructions and directions for his own benefit.

Ketu in the ninth house makes the native disinterested in religion of birth. The native maybe more inclined towards some other religion. Native will have no respect for the professors and the learned people.

4.       Shankpal Kaal Sarp yoga This Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when Rahu is placed in the fourth house and Ketu will be placed in the tenth house.

(Rest of The different types of Kaal Sarp yoga are discussed in the next post)

Do you have Kaal Sarp Yoga ?

Going by the name Kaal Sarp yoga, it is apparent that it has something to do with Sarp…..the snakes and Kaal...which means time. Out of the nine planets, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury,Jupiter,Venus,Saturn,Rahu and Ketu it is only Rahu and Ketu who have something to do with snakes. They  are also referred to as  two parts of the snake, the upper part or the head (north node) which is known as Rahu and the lower part or the tail (south node) which is known as Ketu. Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when rest of the seven planets are placed between Rahu and Ketu Axis. Even if one of the planets is outside Rahu and Ketu Axis, Kaal Sarp is not formed. Rahu and Ketu are always placed seven houses away, so there are five houses between Rahu and Ketu. In Kaal Sarp yoga the seven planets other than Rahu and Ketu can be placed in any of these five houses. No planet should be placed in the house having Rahu or Ketu otherwise Kaal Sarp yoga is not formed. (Since the topic of Kaal Sarp yoga is highly debated every combination has some or the other condition. As to having a planet with Rahu nullifies Kaal Sarp yoga or not, some astrologers suggest that if the planet sharing the house with Rahu has lower degree than Rahu, then Kaal Sarp yoga is considered to be effective otherwise not)

A complete Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when exactly half of the horoscope chart has no planets and all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu. Most of the Astrologers are of the opinion that Kaal Sarp yoga will NOT apply if all the planets are placed between Ketu and Rahu. This would mean that for the formation of Kaal Sarp yoga the planets should be placed between Rahu and Ketu

A partial Kaal Sarp yoga happens when the malefic planets Sun, Mars and Saturn are placed on the opposite side of Rahu and Ketu. The partial Kaal Sarp yoga gives less Malefic effects.

A modified form of Kaal Sarp yoga is formed when all the planets in the horoscope are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu except for one planet. In most such cases the planet outside the axis of Rahu and Ketu is Saturn

Kaal Sarp yoga has effect till the age of 47 years. In some cases, depending upon the position of Rahu and Ketu Kaal Sarp yoga may be effective throughout life.

Kaal Sarp yoga is more effective during the Mahadasha (main period) and the Antardasha (sub-period) of Rahu and Ketu.

 Even if there is Kaal Sarp yoga in the horoscope it may not be effective

The result of the effects of Kaal Sarp is not the same for all the people. This is because of the difference in the placement, strength and aspects of the benefic and malefic planets. Benefic aspects to Rahu and Ketu make Rahu and Ketu beneficial. Both Rahu and Ketu give tremendous good effects, giving great success and happiness during the period of their Mahadasha (main period) and antar dasha (sub-period)

It is very interesting to note that if Raja yoga is present in the horoscope, the Raja yoga will have more effect and give more positive results inspite of Kaal Sarp yoga

Kaal Sarp yoga is cause of great concern in the following placements:-

1)      If Rahu or Ketu is placed with either of the malefic planets, namely Sun, Mars or Saturn

2)      Presence of Paap Kartau yoga….this happens when Rahu or Ketu are positioned between 2 or more planets

3)      Rahu and  Ketu are placed in 1^st /5^th /9^th place from Sun, Mars, Saturn or the ascendant.

Why Stars were not favorable to Sasikala

Name                                  Sasikala   Natarajan

Date of Birth                      29-1-56

Place of Birth                     Mannargudi,   Tamil Nadu

Time of Birth                      Not Known

The Ascendant of Madam Sasikala is Capricorn and the Ascendant Lord is Saturn.

Saturn is placed in the 11^th house in Scorpio whose Lord is Mars. Mars is also placed here and is Swashetra (Scorpio is ruled by Mars) 11^th house has three planets, namely Saturn, Rahu and Mars.

 11^th is the house of Gains but it has three malefic placed here and one of them, Mars has lots of strength. Mars indicates struggle and fights which we know have been there in Madam Sasikala's life. Another point of consideration is that Saturn in the house of gains does not stop gains but slows them down. This indicates that the gains will be slow and will involve lot of struggle and strife.

From the 11^th house Mars is aspecting (4^th aspect) the 2^nd house which is the house of stored wealth and status. Mars aspect to 2^nd house means lot of struggle and fighting for stored wealth and status which we all know to be quite true in case of Madam Sasikala. This indicates that she will have to face lot of opposition and obstacles for her status and wealth

3^rd house is the house of initiative. Here its Lord is Jupiter and it is placed in the 8^th house which is the house of obstacles. Thus the initiatives of Madam Sasikala will have obstacles and difficult to execute. Mainly her initiatives will be surrounded by mystery (8^th house nature)

It is believed that Jupiter in her case is also retrograde which means that her initiatives and actions will get reversed and thus she faces failures.

7^th house the house of partnerships and business alliances has as its  lord  the Moon which is placed in the 8^th house of obstacles, occult, mystery, inheritance   and hidden assets. Thus alliances may not work out for her.

Currently with the Saturn transit this year, 2017 can be a difficult year for Madam Sasikala. 

WHAT IS KAAL SARP ? A DOSHA OR YOGA?

Astrology is a very mysterious subject. Many people believe in it while many others rubbish it as superstition. Surprisingly, even these non-believers of astrology act upon the astrological advice, rendered to them on adhoc basis by somebody.

It is quite true that Astrology is a Science. It has so many formulas, mathematical calculations, diagrams and so on. All these are difficult to understand and make sense only for the Astrologers, while the common man gets confused, by all these, as they are beyond his knowledge. As with other sciences, such as medicine, there are some simple apparent causes and effects which everybody can understand. You do not rush to a doctor for headache or if you have common cold. Just like this there are such simple things in Astrology as well. This is the very aim of astro2life, to bring to the common people the simple formations, effects and causes of Astrology, a science within which our complete life journey is visible, only we need a sincere astrologer to unravel it for us and guide us.

In my earlier posts I have discussed many of the feared topics such as Manglik  and Gandmool dosha. Another very such common feared terminology is Kaal Sarp yoga/Dosha.

Most of the astrologers are divided on whether Kaal Sarp is a yoga or Dosha. It would be very important to state that Kaal Sarp is not even mentioned in the classical ancient Indian Astrological text of eminent astrologers Varaha Mihira and Satyacharya.  Rahu and Ketu story is not even mentioned in Rig Veda and Atharva Veda which are the oldest Astrological texts. Even in the present times there is lot of debate and discussion going on this feared topic of astrology.

Meaning of the word Yoga …….of course ,as we all know, it means exercises, which Baba Ramdev has made famous. These exercises are known to be extremely beneficial. It would be quite right to say that yoga is a form of activity or a formation which is beneficial.

Meaning of the word Dosha…….it means a defect, something which is not right or something bad.

Most of us relate Kaal Sarp with adverse effects. It is considered to be giving the most malefic effects than any other yoga. As Kaal Sarp does give negative effects so most of the astrologers will relegate all difficulties and problems in life of a native to Kaal Sarp. But not all formations of Kaal Sarp (I am not defining it as yoga or Dosha) are only ill effect givers. It is a formation with lot of power and it does lot of good to the native in many cases. Many people who have Kaal Sarp formation in their horoscope are comfortable and lead a prosperous & successful life. So ,it is really not clear whether Kaal Sarp is a yoga or Dosha but most commonly we hear Kaal Sarp yoga.

I have come across a few horoscopes where Kaal Sarp has given high potent benefits and all these horoscopes are of natives who are very successful, professionally and personally both. Natives with Kaal Sarp in their horoscope are intelligent, energetic, hard working and efficient. Whether it is the good humanitarian world leader or a cruel repelling tyrannical leader, their horoscopes have some form of Kaal Sarp yoga. The most well know Indian personalities with Kaal Sarp in their horoscope, to name a few are Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Dhiru Bhai Ambani, and Sachin Tendulkar. Horoscope of these great & famous persons are available and it can be seen that these people have Kaal Sarp and yet they have risen to be world famous. It is quite possible that Kaal Sarp may actually be the cause of great rise and success in life
