INTRODUCTION
One of the key houses to be analyzed when we take up a chart for analysis is the
7th house. The 7th house at once, happens to be
- The 7th house from lagna
- -4th house from 4th
- 10th house from 10
So it is a key link for the 4 quadrant houses namely lagna, 4,7 and 10. It is a
mirror image for Lagna. To be clear, just as 7th is the 7th house from lagna;
while lagna is the 7th house if we analyze a horoscope treating 7th as lagna.
(This is required when we choose to analyse a chart from 7th, Kalatra bhava for
marital prospects).
Combination for being blessed with family
Reckoned from the house occupied by the 7th lord, if the 2nd , 7th and the 11th
are occupied by the benefics, the wife of that person will enjoy all happiness
and the couple will be endowed with good children.
If the lords of 2,7 and 12 occupy either trines or quadrants aspected by Jupiter,
the aforesaid results accrue to the native.
To understand these rules better let us study them in a bit more detail. The 2nd
house is the house of family, 7th is the house of marriage and the 12th relates
to pleasures associated with married life. When the aforesaid lords are well
placed and also aspected by Jupiter, good results accrue.
Many astrologers are consulted when parents are eager to know when their
children would get married. The word Kalyanam in Sanskrit means
auspicious. So Kalyana Kalam means auspicious time. You are now
running Kalyana Kalam means you are running a good time. In Sanskrit the
If there are so many rules for getting married, then how come there are so
many unmarried persons in society? The answer is simple :- It is not enough if
the text book rules are satisfied-the concerned planet must be strong enough
to ensure marriage takes place. If not, the promise of marriage will be there
but in reality that person will not get married.
Maraka connotations of 7th house
The maraka connotations of 7th house needs careful scrutiny. Let us say a girl is
25 years old and she is running Jupiter dasha, with Jupiter in the 7th in her birth
chart.This may prove to be an ideal time for her to get married. Let us say she
is 75 years old,she is running Jupiter dasha , with Jupiter in the 7th in her birth
chart . This may prove to be an ideal time to leave the world. The same planet
has two functions-when time is ripe it gets her married; when time is over it
takes her back to the place where she came from. Please note that a Maraka
planet can do its role at a younger age also , if longevity is absent in the chart.
This is where knowledge, coupled with wisdom and interpretation skills are
required in Astrology.
7th house and overseas travel
In older days, going abroad had a different meaning altogether.
1. In India, convicts were exiled and sent to Andaman and Nicobar islands.
2. In Soviet Union, convicts were exiled to Siberia.
3. In UK, convicts were deported to Australia. In those days only convicts
stayed in Australia.
In Indian mythology, we have the example of Lord Sri Rama, being sent to the
forest for 14 years.
In all these cases, going to a foreign country was an undesirable thing. Today
going abroad is the most preferred option because you are assured of a high
income, social status and very good living comfort. Near Hyderabad there is a
temple called Chilkur Balaji temple, where lots of Visa-seekers queue up
everyday since there is a belief that the presiding deity of the temple, lord
Balaji would certainly fulfil this particular aspiration of the devotees.
1. If the 7th lord occupies the lagna, one will go abroad.
Please note that a strong 7th house promotes overseas travel.A strong 7th lord
or a strong planet aspecting the 7th house(see discussion on Chart 2)will
promote overseas travel.When 7th house is aspected by a number of planets
one gets overseas residence(see discussion on chart 3).When the 7th lord
occupies a house of saturm in either Rasi or navamsa one goes abroad(see
discussion on chart 1).Saturn,Rahu and Venus have an inherent alien nature
which makes them causative of foreign travel while Mars gives foreign travel
only when associated with the 7th house
Please dont apply this rule verbatim to 7th bhava. There is a slight variation
here. Read the first rule again. A person will have two wives if Saturn is in 2
and Rahu is in 7. When malefics occupy 2 or 7, the house of family and the
house of wife are both afflicted. So the indications of that bhava are vitiated.
So, as an astrologer you would predict : That person will not have a family:
That person will be unmarried: That person will live as a bachelor or spinsteris it not? But the Founding Fathers of Astrology took a different view.
That person will have two wives. How come Jupiter in 7 gives only one wife,
while Rahu gives two? I will explain the reason now.
When the seventh bhava is supposed to exist in a horoscope , the person will
get married. Assume for instance, 7th lord is in 9- that person will get
married.Now Jupiter in 7, gives a deeply devoted wife .So the person is
satisfied and he will not look out for extra marital affairs. Under the same
condition, if Rahu is in 7, then the wife of that person will not give marital
happiness. Since the yoga for getting married exists and an unfulfilled married
life is in operation due to Rahu, the 7th lord in 9 generates a desire for extramarital affairs. Hence the rule is : Saturn in 2 and Rahu in 7 will give two wives.
In any horoscope the mutual dispositions of Mars and Venus need to be
assessed carefully . Venus is associated with marriage, happiness, fertility ,
physical beauty and friendship. Mars is associated with fortitude ,aggression
high energy levels and sensual gratification. Union of these two planets in a
chart, especially in relation to the seventh house is a warning sign. Parents
need to bring up kids with such combinations with care. If such a combination
gets the aspect of Jupiter , the evil is neutralised. Venus is the Karaka planet
for 7th house. Venus in Scorpio predisposes a person to physical attraction
while Venus in Cancer may lead to a person marrying twice, due to vacillation
of mind. In general Venus is supposed to be a tricky planet and when its
major period is in operation people should guard themselves from trivial
desires which may eventually cause great harm. Conjunction of Venus with
Rahu will also predispose a person to opt for a life partner of his /her choice.
Kendradipathya dosha
In every textbook on Astrology, you will get one standard rule. When Jupiter
is in the 7th house one will get a devoted and loving spouse.But please note
that this rule has several exceptions.
