The Bhriat Parashara Hora Shastra has discussed in details the different combinations pertaining to marital aspect of human life. The Sage Parashara has described in length, in the chapter 19 Jaya-Phala-Adhayaa’, about the astrological combinations giving early marriage, delay marriage, more than one marriage or relationships, loss of spouse, problem in married life etc.
However, since this monumental discourse of Sage Parashara is from the ancient time so the astrological combinations about the timing of marriage are not relevant to the present modern society. The Sage Parashara has given some yogas which gives marriage so early at the age of 6,7, 11, or at 16 years of age which is not possible in modern urban society. As per some senior astrologers the astrological combinations of marriage given in the Bhriat Parashara Hora Shastra are basically the yogas for sex life. A good 7th house, 7th lord and good Venus gives sensual pleasures at an early age. All the astrological yogas for an early marriage or relationship comprises the above mentions factors. See some of the below given yogas or principals for an early marriage given in Bhriat Parashara Hora Shastra.
1. The 7th lord in the sign of a benefic planet and the Venus in its own sign or in its sign of exaltation gives an early marriage.
2. Sun in the 7th house and the 7th lord is conjoined with Venus also gives early marriage. { This is surprising as the Sun in the 7th house destroy marital happiness as per most of the classical texts}
3. Venus in the 2nd house and the 7th lord in the 11th house also gives an early marriage.
4. Venus in the Kendra (Square) from the ascendant and the lagna lord is in the sign of Saturn also gives an early marriage.
5. Venus in the kendra from ascendant and the Saturn is in kendra from Venus also gives an early marriage.
6. The Venus in the 7th from Moon and the Saturn in the 7th from Venus also gives timely marriage. { I have found this yoga giving troubles in marriage particularly in matters related with in-laws}
7. The 2nd lord in the 11th house and the lagan lord in the 10th house also gives timely marriage. {Note the importance of 2nd house in marriage. It is the second most house for marriage after the 7th house }.
8. The 2nd lord in the 11th house and the 11th lord in the 2nd house also gives timely marriage.
9. Venus in the 2nd house and 8th lord is in conjunction with Mars gives marriage at the age of 22 or 27.
10. The lagna lord is in the Navamsha of 7th lord and the 7th lord is placed in the 12th house then it gives marriage at the age of 23 or 26.
Now see some of the examples to test the above mention astrological yogas for an early marriage.
Case 1. Male
19 February 1972, 20:35 hours at Delhi
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari : Ketu 2 years 4 months 7 days
The above given is the horoscope of an accountant who got married at the age of 18 years only. This chart fulfills 2 major classical yogas for an early marriage given in the Bhriat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter number 19 discuss above.
(a) The 7th lord Jupiter in the sign of benefic planet and Venus in Kendra in its sign of exaltation is the yoga of early marriage. (Yoga number 1 )
(b) Venus in the Kendra house, here it is in the 7th house, and the lagna lord Mercury is in the sign of Saturn. (Yoga number 2 )
Also notice here the position of benefic planets in Kendra from the ascendant in both Rashi and Navamsha charts. So it is not surprising that he got married so early in his life during Venus-Mercury dasha in Vimshottari ( June 1990 to April 1993) when he was just 18 and not even earning money. If we see the 7th house from Moon then we find that its lord Venus is exalted and is in a good position.
It was an inter-cast love marriage case. The dasha lord Venus in the 7th house and anter dasha lord Mercury being the lagan lord in Rashi chart is explaining the timing of marriage. In Navamsha the Venus and Mercury are in conjunction receiving the aspect of lagan lord Jupiter and 5th lord Moon showing love marriage.
Case 2. Male
19 August 1980, 21:50 hours at Delhi
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Saturn 7 years 1 months 3 days
The case 2 given above is of a jeweller who got married at the age of just 16 years. He is suffering from the health problem of depression and aggressive behavior. Notice the aspect of Mars on the ascendant and the affliction to the Moon in the 8th house showing his mental illness astrologically.
The lagan lord Mars is in the 7th house in the Navamsha of 7th lord Venus is a combination of an early marriage. Interestingly the Saturn is giving aspect to the 7th lord in both Rashi and Navamsha charts but it didn’t delayed his marriage. He got married in Mercury-Mars period ( March 1996 to March 1997) in Vimshottari. The Mercury is with Rahu which is Karaka for marriage apart from Venus. The anter dasha lord Mars is in the 7th house in Rashi chart and in Navamsha it is the 7th lord itself.
Case 3 : Female
24 November 1963, 02:33 a.m. at Mumbai
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mars 2 years 5 months 6 days
This is very peculiar case of a lady doctor. She is a Marathai Bhramin and got married with a U.P. Bhramin after a love affair. She was married at the age of just 21 year in February 1985. In the Virgo lagan Rashi chart the 7th house and its lord Jupiter both are receiving the aspect of retrograde Saturn in the 5th house. The Saturn influencing the 7th house and its lord together gives delay in marriage. But it wasn’t so in this case which is bit difficult to understand from an astrological point of view.
If we go more deeper and cast the Bhava Kundali (equal house system ) then we find that the Saturn moves into the sixth house. The Mars and Venus comes at the 4th house. The Venus and Jupiter in Kendra in Bhava Chalit chart shows mental inclination to marry at a young age.
In the Rashi chart the lagan lord Mercury is in the Navamsha of 7th lord Jupiter which is a good yoga for timely marriage. The strong Mars-Venus conjunction receiving the aspect of Jupiter in both Rashi and Navamsha is also a good yoga for timely marriage.
The planetary configuration in the Navamsha chart is the key here to understand why did she got married at the young age of 21 only. The lagan lord Jupiter and the 7th lord Mercury both are free from malefic influences in the Navamsha chart.
She was under the dasha of Jupiter-Jupiter ( April 1984 to June 1986) in Vimshottari when she got married. Jupiter is the lord of 7th house in Rashi chart and in Navamsha it is the lagna lord making it amply clear. At present this young lady is a medical superintendent though her husband is unemployed since many years. She is the main earning member of her house since marriage and her husband mostly take care of household works. This could be the hidden meaning of the aspect of retrograde Saturn on the 7th house and its lord. It gave her husband who is not as qualified and financial strong as she herself is.
Case 4. Female
1 November 1976 , 21:30 hours at Delhi
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Rahu 2 years 10 months 18 days
This is another interesting case where this lady got married to her school classmate at the very young age of 19 years. Here the 5th lord Venus in mutual aspect with the 7th lord Jupiter is a good combination of love marriage. The marriage took place during the dasha of Saturn-Saturn in Vimshottari in year 1995. Earlier she was under the dasha of Jupiter in which she fall in love with her classmate. Jupiter is the lord of 7th house in Rashi chart and it is the lord of Navamsha lagna. The Saturn, who’s dasha gave her marriage, is placed in the 2nd house. After marriage a child was expired and later a baby girl was born in year 2000. Her husband is in the job of marketing and they have only one daughter born in year 2000.
