E very one in this world both male and
female desire to have a happy
married life. But in reality this
appears to be a myth in most of the cases,
yet it happens that many of the known
combinations of Parasari Astrology for
unhappy marriages are not existing in those
charts. We have also observed that
marriages that take place in the west after a
long period of dating, courtship etc and
which apparently have all the ingredients of
a successful marriage ends in separation or
divorce. As compared to this arranged
marriages based on Horoscope matching as
being done in India even to‐day seem to be
happy and stable. Strangely in such
arranged marriages I happened to observe
that some marriages did fail despite the
situation of very good matching between
the two horoscopes. This was one of my
burning questions to late Mr. C.S.Patel way
back in the year 1982. Mr. Patel opened my
eyes when he quoted a verse from some
nadi astrology text which ran thus:
“Sukraath mande tat trikone neshtam jeeve
sukha pratham”
means that “If Venus is in trine with
Saturn in a natal chart then the married life
of the native gets spoiled and if on the
other hand if Venus is in trine with Jupiter
in a natal chart then the married life of the
native becomes a happy one”
Why Venus is considered for Married life
happiness?
We astrologers know that Venus is the
“karaka” (significator) for marriage &
married life happiness. It is no wonder that
this verse gives so much importance to
trinal situation of Venus in any natal horoscope.

Late Mr. Patel was a veteran in Astrological research. He told me that these astrological
verses are cryptic in nature and we should actually apply these principles considering not
only Saturn but other malefics as well that are in trine with Venus.
Since I had at that point of time a data base of persons with failed marriages he asked me to
apply these principles and come to my own conclusion.
Thus started our research & in this research we found that Venus trine Ketu in a natal
chart was the worst situation which adversely impacted the native’s married life. As
compared to this Venus in trine with Rahu had a less adverse impact and Venus trine Saturn
was as bad Venus trine Ketu. We also found that in natal charts where Venus was in trine
with Jupiter the marriage of the native was happy and stable. After examining many
horoscopes of persons with failed marriages, the following conclusions were drawn in
consultation with late Mr. Patel:

v If Venus is in trine with Ketu or Saturn in a natal chart or if the lord of the 7th house
reckoned from lagna is in trine with Ketu or Saturn then the native is likely to be
prone to major problems in his/her married life.

Way back in the 80’s I had published an article in “Times of Astrology” on this subject.
Thus it will be seen that Vedic astrology seems to hold the key to understand the indications
regarding married life prospects.

To make the point as explained in the verse above we discuss below the natal charts of
natives who have Venus in trine with malefics in their natal chart with a brief description of
their failed marriage. At the same time to young ones it is requested to note that other
combinations of failed marriages cannot be ignored.

Chart 1: Aimable (French Musician)

Marriage: Aimable married Odette Citon on 9/24/1949. They divorced on 6/02/1976 ‐ and

In the above chart Venus as well as the lord of the 7th house from lagna (Jup) are in trine
with Saturn and Rahu. No wonder the marriage was not successful.

is some relief as Venus is in trine with Jupiter.

with his first marriage from 1958 to major problems in his or her married life.’
January 1975.

Note:
In this case Venus is in trine with Saturn
Desh‐Kala‐Patra play an important role in using the above rule specifically, suppose we see
charts of natives from countries where freedom of rights of women are significant then
Venus trine malefics play havoc whereas in countries where tradition forcibly restricts
women or men from divorcing the above rule will not lead to divorce but could lead to a
partner being unhappy in the marriage.

In part 2 of this article we will discuss the cases of happy marriages in whose case
Venus was in trine with Jupiter.
