Frequently asked questions
Which house in a Kundali (birth chart) indicates marriage and divorce?
The 7th House (Saptam Bhav) is the primary house for marriage, spouse, and partnerships. The strength or weakness of this house and its ruling planet (Saptamesh) directly dictates whether a marriage will be successful or end in divorce.
What are the main planetary combinations that cause a divorce?
Divorce is highly likely if the Lord of the 7th house is weak, combust, or placed in negative houses (6th, 8th, or 12th). Additionally, if malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, or Mars heavily afflict the 7th house without any positive aspect from Jupiter, the marriage often breaks.
Can a divorce be stopped or averted according to astrology?
Yes! Astrologically, a reconciliation (Samjhauta) happens if the 7th Lord forms a connection with the 9th Lord (Navamesh - the house of destiny and luck). Also, if a strong Jupiter (Guru) aspects the 7th house, it protects the marriage and eventually brings the couple back together.
Why do some divorce court cases drag on for many years without a resolution?
If there are severe divorce-causing Yogas in the Kundali, but Jupiter (Guru) casts its aspect on the 7th house while being afflicted itself, it refuses to let the relationship die easily. This specific planetary tug-of-war causes the legal proceedings to drag on for years.
Are marital problems permanent if Rahu or Ketu is in the 7th house?
Not necessarily. If a couple faces intense fights or files for divorce within the first year or two of marriage, it is often due to the temporary Mahadasha or Antardasha of Rahu, Ketu, or an afflicted 7th Lord. Once this specific time period (Dasha) passes, the misunderstandings clear up, and they can reunite.
