There should be a thorough examination of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 12th houses, besides the quality of the overall Horoscope. Additionally, there is a need to spend more time checking divisional charts such as Navamasha and the operating Dasha system besides the transit of planets.
Key Houses for Marital Harmony
The following houses should be strong and their lords should be well placed enjoying good strength. Also, there should preferably be the aspect of beneficial planets on them. No aspect is better than the aspect of cruel planets:
-
Ascendant / Lagna and Lagna Lord
Represents the self and overall life direction.
-
7th House
Traditionally the house of marriage and partnerships.
-
5th House
The house of romance, progeny, and state of mind/emotions.
Additional Considerations
Planets in the 7th house and the 7th house from natural ascendant, 7th from Moon, and 7th from Venus should also be examined for a comprehensive analysis.
Note: A holistic approach considering all these factors along with divisional charts and planetary transits provides the most accurate assessment of marital prospects.
