Understanding Your Concern
Marriage is the question a birth chart is asked about more than any other, and the one where the classical material is most developed. This page sets out what is actually being examined when a chart is read for marriage, rather than what is usually claimed about it.
What Is Examined
The seventh house and its lord carry the partner and the partnership. The navamsha, the ninth divisional chart, is read alongside the main chart, and in the classical method it carries at least as much weight for marriage as the birth chart does.
Venus matters in a man's chart and Jupiter in a woman's under the traditional reading. The second house is examined for the family that results, and the eighth for what the partnership inherits in the way of obligation.
- The seventh house and its lord: the partner and the arrangement
- The navamsha, weighted as heavily as the birth chart for marriage
- Venus and Jupiter as the traditional significators
- The second house for family, the eighth for shared obligation
- The running dasha, which supplies the timing rather than the description
What It Reliably Delivers
Timing is the strongest output: which periods support marriage and which do not. Second is temperament — what kind of partnership the chart inclines toward, which people usually recognise immediately.
What it does not deliver is identity. No chart names a person, a profession or a city, and a practitioner supplying those details is supplying them from imagination.
- Which years support marriage, given as ranges
- The kind of partnership the chart structurally inclines toward
- Where friction is most likely once a marriage is under way
- Never a name, a profession or a place, which no chart contains

How Your Consultation Works
- 1
Cast Chart and Navamsha
Both are prepared, since a seventh house that reads well in one and badly in the other is a common and important finding.
- 2
Weigh the Significators
The relevant houses, their lords and the traditional significators are assessed together rather than in isolation.
- 3
Give the Periods
The dasha sequence is set out so the analysis arrives as dates you can use rather than as description.
