The choice between a love marriage and an arranged marriage
The concept of love marriage versus arranged marriage is indeed a topic of great significance in many Asian countries, where traditional values and cultural norms often play a crucial role in determining the approach to marriage. In these societies, both love marriages and arranged marriages have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Astrology, including the study of the fifth house of the horoscope, is sometimes used to justify or support one’s choice in marriage
The concept of arranged marriage is mainly prevalent in Asian countries. Rishi Parashar ji has emphasized that when analyzing a birth chart, it should be done following the customs and norms of the specific country or society. Therefore, it is important to analyze anyone’s chart while taking into consideration the society they belong to and the cultural norms and values that are accepted or rejected within that society.
This involves the fifth house of the horoscope, which is the house of interest and liking. Since we cannot fall in love without liking, this also involves the houses of desire, 3-7 and 11 of Kama Trikon. If the ascendant is connected to any of these houses, we can conclude that that person will marry for love. In the context of an arranged marriage, the combination of the seventh and ninth houses holds greater significance. The ninth house not only represents our social norms but also signifies our parents. Now, when it comes to being in love with someone through an arranged marriage, the involvement of the Ninth House becomes significant. If you have developed feelings for someone and your parents have given their approval, it is important to consider both the Lagan and Navansa charts to assess compatibility.
The 5th, 7th, and 11th houses are significant for love marriages. The 5th house is also the house of the previous Punya Phal (virtuous) house. Meeting one’s life partner of choice is the result of virtue. Whether it is a love marriage or an arranged marriage, the positions of the dasha lords in Navamanasha play a vital role in determining how the marriage will work.
The motivations behind a person’s decision to marry, like as love, comfort, riches, societal responsibility, or other necessities, are clearly indicated on their personal chart. The chart allows us to recognize the traits of a person, such as their materialism, idealism, spirituality, harshness, greed, or generosity.
In addition to analyzing the 5th, 7th, and 11th houses, it is important to thoroughly examine the role of Venus in a relationship as it is generally associated with harmony. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider the positioning of Mars and Venus in relation to each other, specifically if they are in trine or Kendra aspects, as these factors can greatly influence the efforts put into the relationship by the individuals involved.
Example 1
In this chart, we can clearly see the seventh Lord Mercury in the 5th house, which is also Dhara Karak (spouse) and placed in the 7th house of Navamnsa, as well as Venus, which is its own sign and aspected by Jupiter and Vargottma in Navmansa and located in the 5th house in the Navmansa chart.
☞The Moon-Moon Mahadasha Moon in 2nd house, the house of the immediate family, and in Navmansha the lordship of the 7th house is associated with the 5th house, the good deed of past life.
The Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra and its sign Lord Mars in the 6th house in a Leo Rashi imply not only a deep interest in learning new things, taking initiative and shape in her decision-making process, but also a strong desire for success and leadership. The Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra and Mars in the 6th house of Leo indicates that the native may flourish in subjects that need drive, aggressiveness, and a proactive attitude. This placement might also imply a competitive personality and a determination to overcome challenges and barriers in order to attain their goals.
☞ When our ongoing dasha is positioned in a benefic house or in a Shubhakarti Yoga, or is connected with a benefic planet, and this combination also appears in the Navamsa chart, it suggests that our desires will be fulfilled and we can expect positive outcomes that will bring us satisfaction(Considering the significance of a house ).
Example 2
love arranged marriage: The 7th lord is exalted in the 2nd house, and the 5th house has its own sign Venus along with Mars. Additionally, the Darakarka Mercury is exalted in the 4th house. These placements strongly indicate a marriage with mutual liking. The 9th lord Saturn also aspects the 5th lord Venus. Furthermore, The 9th Lord Saturn is Vargottama in the Navamsa chart and is placed in the 7th house. This suggests that the parents approve of the person the native likes.
In the Navamsa chart, there is an indication of significant responsibility during the Saturn Maha Dasha.
Example 3
According to the astrological chart, the Sun is positioned in the 5th house along with Mercury and Jupiter, which are both Ascendant. The 7th lord is in Navamsa respectively. Both Sun and Saturn are associated with the 5th and 9th houses, respectively, and this combination repeats in Navamsha placed in the benefic houses. Additionally, both Sun and Saturn are in moon Nakshatra, which is exalted in Navamsha.
Before the Sun Dasha, she went through Sawrashi(own-sign) Venus. However, since it is posited in the 6th house in Swati Nakshatra, which repeats in Navamsa, not much fruitfulness was observed and there was no clarity in mind also. There was also no stable love relationship during that period. But, she eventually found love in an arranged marriage with a person of her choice, which was indicated during that time by Dasha
☞Note: If the 8th lord has a PAC (placement, aspect, conjunction) connection with any houses. If the 8th lord is strong or beneficial, it indicates that the person will reap the rewards of their good deeds from past lives. The type of fruit a person will enjoy depends on the significance of their houses 🌌.
One house can hold multiple significances.The 5th house is often associated with love marriages or love affairs, but it also plays a significant role in education and past life merits. A well-placed 5th house can bring happiness through children and provide a good education. It is considered a prosperous house, often referred to as the Laxami-sthana. The combination of the fifth house with other houses affects its outcomes.
☞In astrology, there are cases when a specific configuration of planets takes place in the sixth house, which could cause challenges for individuals seeking parental approval for marriage. Nevertheless, if there are other favorable planetary combinations, it is still possible to persuade the parents and proceed with a love-cum-arranged marriage. Alternatively, if the relationship is linked to the eighth house and Venus and Mars have a significant influence, this combination may result in elopement.
