MARITAL BLISS
By
K. V. R. ANJANEYULU, B.A.
Respected Sir,
I am herewith enclosing the horoscope
of my kith with a view only to know as
to when he is likely to get married. This
problem is very much weighing on my
head for a very long time rendering my
life miserable. I am also a student of Astro-
logy. I strongly hope that his marriage
should take place on 20*4-66 during Saturn
Dasa, Kethu Bhukthi, Kethu Anthara and
Mars Shookshama. Will you concur with
me? j ^
TSS3 Mercury
Hcrchel _ 15.23 _
Mars
17-54
Saturn Neptune
0-23 10-9
Lagna MdOn Ketbu
21-3 ' 10-13 20.20
Lagna is Scorpio.. Lord of lagna is
placed in the 8th house identical with his
debilitation sign, Cancer and is placed in
the constellation of Aslesha ruled by
Mercury who is malefic for Scorpio-borns.
Mars is further afflicted by Sun, Mercury,
Muim, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto
strongly, rendering the lagna week.
Moon is placed in sign Libra. Lord of
Libra is Venus. Venus is exalted in sign
Pisces in the constellation of Yoga Karaka
Saturn and is also irv Aroha position. She
cs~foitified by the benefic aspects of Mer-
cury, Sun, Pluto, Mars and Saturn render-
ing the sign Libra strong and dignified.

Therefore forget the lagna. Count the
houses from Moon.
For marriage consider houses 2, 7 and
H. The significators are:
(1) Placets posited in the constelle-
tions of the occupants of houses
2, 7 and 11.
(2) Planets i n the' houses 2, 7 and 11.
(3) Planets in the constellations of
tt}e lords of 2, 7 and 11.
(4) Planets who hold the lordship of
2, 7 and 11.
(5) Planets in conjunction with or
aspected by the above significa-
tors. *
2nd house is vacant.
7th house is occupied by Mercury and
Sun. Aslesha, JyeshtaandRevathi are ruled
by Mercury. Mars is placed in the constel-
lation, Aslesha. Rahu is posited in
Revathi. Therefore Mars and Rahu are
significators.
Krittika, Uttara Phulguni and Uttara-
shada are ruled by Sun. Saturn is posited
in Uttarashada. Therefore Saturn is
significator.
Rahu is in conjunction with Venus.
Therefore the significators are Saturn,
Rahu, Venus-and Mars.
Kethu is not the significator for marriage.
Moreover he is placed in the 12th house
in the constellation of Moon who is the
lord of lOth. 10th house did not indicate
marriage. Hence the sub period of Kethu
in the major period of Saturn will not
bless the native married bliss.
Among the significators:
(1) Planets in the. constellations of
the lords of 2, 7 and 11 are strongest to
materialise the results signified by them.
 (2) Next in strength are the planets
who are in association with lords of 2, 7
and 11.
(3) Next in strength are the planets
who are receiving aspects from lords of
2, 7 and 11.
(4) Lastly planets who happen to be
the lords of 2, 7 and 11.
Saturn is placed in his own sign
Capricorn. He is in the constellation of
lord of ilth house, Sun. He is yoga
karaka for Libra-borns. He is further
dignified by Vargottanaa position, and by
the favourable aspects of Sun, Venus and
Mercury. Therefore Saturn is the strongest
planet capable of bestowing married life.
He has caused Sasa Mahapurusha yoga
and Kahala yoga. So Saturn as major lord
willcontribute to the growth of married
bliss, permanent tie and bondage as is
indicated by 11th lord.
Can Saturn independently cause marriage
in his sub periods?
Sjgnificators who are strong and at the
same time related with the karaka planets
will independently materialise the results
attributed to them.
Saturn is not placed in either the signs
or stars of Venus, the karaka for marriage
or is in association with or aspected by
her. Therefore Saturn as sub lord can not
cause marriage.
Then whose sub period or whose
anthra or iwhose Shooksama Dasa will
offer marriage, permanent tie and bondage
expected from Saturn ?
Planets posited other than bouses 6, 8,
12, 2 and 7 from major lord'with benefi-
cial aspects will help, assist and co-operate
in materialising the results expected from
the major lord. Rabu and Venus are
placed favourably towards the major lord.
Therefore the sub period of Rahu or the
sub period of Venus during the major
period of Saturn will give marriage. Venus
is Karaka for marriage. She is exalted and
is placed in the constellation Uttarabhadra
ruled by Yoga Karaka Saturn who is the
34
major lord. Rabu is in the constellation
of lord of 9 and 12, Mercury. Hence
Venus is stronger than Rabu. So the sub
period of Venus is auspicious for'
matrimonial bliss.
The native, has started his life with a
balance of Rabu Mabadasa 13 years
2 months 9 days. Sub period of Venus
in the major period of Saturn will
commence on 1-5-1967. A planet who is
strbng and at the same time related with
karaka will offer the results independently
in their sub periods. So the major period
of Saturn, the sub period of Venus and
the sub sub period of Venus is auspicious
enough to give marriage this period ruus
from 1-5-67 to 31-11-67.
Whose Shooksama Dasa will give
marriage ? The Shooksama of either Rahu
or Venus give Marriage. The Shooksama
of Venus runs from 1-5-67 to 3-6-67; the
Shooksama of Rabu runs from 9-7-67 to
8-8-67. Sun is the exciting planet. Sun
transits Bbarani generally, during the last
week of April or 1st week of May every
vear. He transits Pusbyam during the 2nd
fortnight of July every year.
Saturn is placed in Sun's star. Venus is
placed in Saturn's star. Rahu is placed in
Mercury's star. Sun rules Sunday, Saturn
rules Saturday; Mercury rules Wednesday.
Therefore the marriage of the native takes
place either on Wednesday or Sunday or
Saturday.
The ruling planets at the time of event
will indicate the ruling planetary period
and vice versa. The planets involved in
the planetary period should transit either
the signs or stars of them either • indepen-
dently or mutually. This gives rise to a
look into the ephemeris 1967 in order to
pinpoint the date and time of event. For
the present itis enough if we say that the
native will be married between 1-5-1967
and 3-6-1967 or between 9-7-1967 and
8-8-L967, either on Sunday or Saturday
or Wednesday.
I wish you good luck.
