According to Vedic Astrology, the primary reason for a delay in marriage is the affliction of the 7th House (विवाह भाव) or its Lord by malefic planets like Saturn (शनि), Rahu, Ketu, Sun, or the lords of the 6th and 8th houses. When these planets aspect or sit in the 7th house, they create severe obstacles.

To pacify Mars and mitigate the negative effects of the day-long Bhadra Kaal, worship Lord Hanuman. Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa and offering Jasmine oil (Chameli) mixed with Sindoor at a Hanuman temple will provide powerful protection and clear career obstacles.

Unlike other Hindu festivals based on the Lunar calendar (Tithi), Makar Sankranti follows the Solar calendar. It marks the specific celestial event of the Sun entering the Capricorn (Makar) zodiac sign. Hence, it usually falls on Jan 14 or 15.

Astrologically, an empty 7th house is considered excellent because fewer planets mean fewer conflicts. Furthermore, if the 7th house receives the aspect (Drishti) of a benefic Jupiter (Guru), it acts as a divine shield, canceling out thousands of minor doshas and ensuring a stable, respectable, and long-lasting marriage.
