NAVAMSA and its hidden concepts

NAVAMSA and its Hidden Concepts

Almost all of the Indian Vedic astrologers and many of the western astrologers too consider this
chart as one of the most important charts after Lagan chart and Shastyamsa (D-60) chart.

Reason is simple, there are many aspects of native's life which can be seen and understood from
this chart only. No other chart can even dare to give those detailed clues which Navamsa chart
can easily provide at one glance.

Yes I know that many of the learned members must be contemplating and assuming that we
already know well about this chart, so there is no need for us to read this post but still I beg your
pardon to write something more about this chart.

First concept

We generally have a lot of expectations from our spouse or would be spouse but when those
expectations doesn't get fulfilled or met which is generally the case, then we tend to start the
blame game.

Comments like you should have done this, you should not take me for granted, why you always
keep fighting with me, why dont you respect me, you never acknowledge me etc

Now if you closely observe all of the above comments, which are the part and parcel of any
relationship then you would find that, in some or the other way we are in a habit of finding fault
with our spouse or partner, I am not saying that your partner can never be at fault but the point is
even if he or she has 1 fault then out of the 100 good points, the partner will always be able to
find or identify that one fault, focus on it consistently keeping aside all the good habits which
your partner invariably have.

In fact most of the times that 1 fault of your partner becomes everything for you which in turn
provokes you to blast him/her then and there.

NOW coming to the point please dont mind these stories and introduction are always necessary
to bring you all on my thinking platform.

Actually Navamsa chart operates more on an astral plane rather than on a materialistic plane. It
reflects all the weaknesses which we have all-through but fail to acknowledge them, In other
words your spouse is nothing but your own reflection which you have never seen.

Couples say that we two are absolutely different personalities but they forget that they are the
different sides of the same coin.
Habits which your partners have are nothing but your own subtle expectations of which you are
also unaware about and all these habits can be understood deeply by analyzing the Navamsa
chart.

Divorces happen because your other side of personality (unknown to you) when comes in front
of you in the form of your spouse then it gives a big shock to you.

Then you say that I never deserved this, he/she was not meant for me, he/she has changed.

Indeed the point is he/she has not changed but the destiny has shown you the MIRROR.

When your own hidden negative qualities come to you through your spouse then you express
SHOCK, In-spite of the fact that you were already nurturing those qualities inside you for a long
time.

This is the irony of the concept.

CRUX is; SEE THE UNKNOWN SIDE of your personality (Good or bad) in the Navamsa chart

People who have no hidden negative qualities or know about their negative qualities their D-9
chart supports their lagan chart or compliments their lagan chart and we all know that when this
happens then the native RISE in life and hence are much more fortunate in life, Reason is now
clear.

Their SOUL matches with their actions as a result whatever work they will do will have purity,
so the success rest with them as these people never hide anything from them, they are open
enough to know about their negative qualities and rectify them. People who are afraid to look
deep inside them are left behind in the race of life. Looking at you own negative qualities means
you are honest to yourself and when you are honest to yourself, you will honest to others too as a
result GOD will always be there at your back.

If you are doing bad deeds, then obviously, you will not be able to look into your own eyes and
this would be visible from your D-9 chart.

Few other concepts

1) Analyze your Navamsa lord of 7th lord (From lagan chart)...in lagan chart.

This will give you the information about, what are the qualities which helps you to hold your
relationship or the qualities which you and your spouse cherish and because of which you two
are together.

For example, take Scorpio lagan, Venus becomes the 7th lord (take the corrected lordship from
cusp chart), suppose Venus is placed in Capricorn in d-9, now the lord of this rashi is Saturn,
Hence see the strength, placement, conjunctions of this Saturn in LAGAN chart.
2) See the placement of Navamsa lagan lord in Navamsa chart.

Now observe how the native inherently behaves with his/her spouse.

If it is placed in 6th house: native will tend to fight with his/her spouse.

8th house: native will hide the things from his spouse and will not be transparent.

12th house: The native would be indifferent for his or her spouse.

3) See the placement, strength, conjunctions of the Navamsa lagan lord in lagan chart.

This will give you the information about, how the native behaves with his spouse in front of the
whole world.

4) Spouse should be seen from 7th house of Navamsa chart.

How will he/she behaves with the native.

Apply the 2nd and 3rd points likewise.

Few more concepts

1) Kind of relationship between the native and his spouse can also be judged by the intensity of
friendship between the lagan lord and Navamsa lagan lord.

But careful analysis should be done before jumping to any conclusion.

For ex: If a native has Scorpio ascendant and Virgo ascendant is in Navamsa then though mars
and mercury are enemies but if Jupiter happens to be in Navamsa lagan then since Jupiter is the
friend of mars so the bad influence would be reduced an astrologer should be very careful while
analyzing things.

2) If the lord of Navamsa lagan is present in 2nd or 11th house of lagan chart then the spouse
will bring wealth to the family.

3) If Lord of the Navamsa happens to be in lagan or 7th or 9th house of lagan chart then marriage
would be auspicious and stable.

But again remember do not jump to conclusions immediately this Navamsa lagan lord should
NOT be debilitated, com-bust, in enemy sign, under any kind of malefic influence etc etc,
Otherwise results will not come to pass.
Navamsa chart (D9 chart) in Vedic Astrology.
In Vedic Astrology the Navamsa or 9th Harmonic chart (D9 chart) is said to
be a microscopic view of the 9th House and therefore the hidden
undercurrent of our fate. It is basically to predict marriage life of the native,
spouse and life in later stage (after 32 years). The rasi chart (D1 chart) is
your physical existence, the circumstances you live in, the things you do.
The D9 chart is the hidden force, invisible hand of destiny that decides the
results of your deeds.

D9 chart basically gives information about your inner personality. The D1

chart gives information about your surface personality. The inner
personality keeps on changing until late twenties and remains almost the
same after that. So, its advisable to consult D9 chart in the later stage of
life.

Note : There are no concepts of degrees and nakshatras in D9 chart.

How to read D9 chart:

 Determine the the position of D9-ascendant in D1 chart. In the above
example, D9 ascendant is Sagittarius and Sagittarius is the 11th
house in D1 chart. The D1 chart ascendant is Aquarius.

Aquarius ascendants are eccentric, mystical, visionary, humanitarian

personality with an unusual path. Sagittarius rising in the D9 shows that
his/her 11th house in the D1 (Sagittarius falls in the 11th House) becomes a
very important part of his/her Aquarian nature, so his/her goal orientated
focus and tendency to align himself/herself to group participation for
higher philosophical cause becomes highly emphasized (11th house and
Sagittarius themes). This analysis basically gives in which area (where) the
native is going to express his/her nature.

Analyze the status of D9-ascendant lord in D9 chart. This will tell you
how the native is going to express his/her nature.

Jupiter, the lord of the D9-ascendant, is placed in the 3rd amsa in

Aquarius. So his/her philosophical goal orientated team spirit is getting
expressed in his/her communicative prowess and impartial leadership.

Analyze the position of D9-ascendant lord in D1 chart. This will tell

you what role the native will take to pursue his nature.

Jupiter is occupying the 5th house in Gemini in the D1 chart, so his/her

goal orientated and communicative efforts are used for teaching and
guiding his/her students and is a major contributing factor for his/her
birth.

Analyze the strength, placement, conjunctions of Chara Atmakaraka

and Amatyakaraka in D9 chart.
 Venus is the natural atmakaraka in D9 chart. Hence, dont forget to
analyze the strength, placement, conjunctions of venus in D9 chart.

Analyze the strength, placement, conjunctions of the D1-9th lord in

D9 chart.

D9-chart is also used for marriage predictions.

Determine the 7th house lord in D1 chart. In the above example, 7th
house is Leo and Sun is the lord of Leo. Then, figure out the position
of 7th lord in D9 chart. Here, the 7th lord is Sun and its in Sagittarius
in D9 chart. The lord of sagittarius is Jupiter. Look at the strength,
placement, conjunctions of Jupiter in D1 chart.

See the placement of D9-ascendant lord in D9 chart.

This will show how the native inherently behaves with his/her spouse.
If it is placed in

6th house: native will tend to fight with his/her spouse.

8th house: native will hide the things from his spouse and will not be
transparent.

12th house: The native would be indifferent for his or her spouse.

In the above example, ascendant lord is Jupiter and its in 3rd house in D9
chart.

See the placement, strength, conjunctions of the D9 ascendant lord in

D1 chart.
This will give you the information about, how the native behaves with his
spouse in front of the whole world.

Spouse should be seen from 7th house of D9 chart. How will he/she
behaves with the native.

Apply the previous 2 points likewise. In the above example, the 7th house
lord is Mercury.

D9-ascendant aspected by a benefic can give a happy married life.

D9-ascendant lord aspecting D9 is a good combination for a peaceful

married life.

If D9-ascendant happens to be 9th or 12th to the D1-ascendant,

physical needs may be very high.

If D9-ascendant is associated with many malefics, there could be

extra-marital relationships.

If the lord of 3 or 6 or 7 or 10 is posited in the 7th to D9-ascendant

your spouse may have a career in law.

Venus in the 7th to D9-ascendant indicates disharmony in marriage.

 If the lord of 7th in D1-chart is in 6 or 8 or 12 to D9-ascendant,
married life may not be pleasant.

Conjunction of Moon and venus and if one of them is debilitated,

there will be no happiness from marriage.

If the 5th from the D9-ascendant is occupied by Jupiter and venus,

you could get ravishing beauty as your wife.

If the 7th happens to be the house of saturn and if malefic are in it,
the spouse could look old or it could be a second marriage.

If venus is in the amsa of Mars or in the house of saturn without any

benefic aspect, there could be sexual perversions.

If the 7th lord conjuct with the 6th lord and also venus, there will be
separation or divorce.

Marriage Age A Nadi Method

A lecture given on 3rd July, 2005 at Indian Council of Astrological Sciences(ICAS), Hyderabad,
India

Introduction
Marriage is a landmark in life and many want to know about it. Marriage like any other event in
ones life requires a positive intermediary influence to allow its fructification. It is necessary that
the nativity should indicate marriage as such. Otherwise, simply timing the possible date of
marriage will go in vain. However, it is assumed that in most cases in this mundane practical
materialistic world there is no denial of marriage, which also works as a part of Karma or duty.
For early marriage, delayed marriage, denial of marriage, multiple marriages, timing the event of
marriage, marriage etc, there are many rules given by the ancient Rishis and the modern
astrologers like Late Shri R.Santhanam, Late Shri D.V.Subbarao, Late Dr.B.V.Raman, Late Shri
Krishnamurthy, Shri H.R.Shankar, Shri R.G.Rao etc. based on Vimsottari dasa system,
Kalachakra dasa system, Venus, Moon, houses 1,2,4,5,7,12 and their lords, navamsa,
Krishnamurthy Paddhathi (KP), transits, nadi astrology etc. It is not denied that these rules and
systems are not correct but it would be a Herculean task to check and apply these rules and
systems to arrive at the timing of the event of marriage. Therefore, it is felt that out of these
many rules and systems a minimum set of rules and systems could be selected with thumb rules
to arrive at least at the probable age for the event of marriage, without going into many details at
the outset. The idea is not to question the many rules and systems given and dilute the subject,
but to simply the procedure for quickly recognizing the probable marriage age rejecting the other
unsuitable and unproductive ages so that a better of timing of marriage event can be worked in
detail later on with this probable marriage age. In this connection the method given by Shri
Shankar is quite handy.

In these days, in general, the marriage age can start from 21 and up to 28 or so can be considered
as a timely marriage and beyond such a phase it can be deemed as delayed one. Of course, there
can be limitations for marriage age imposed by social and family customs, conventions,
circumstances, responsibilities, laws of country, religious stipulations etc.

A Nadi Method
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus

In nadi astrology, Saturn is considered as presiding over the portfolio of Karma or duty as Karma
Karaka.
Saturn(significator) decides the fate and duties of the individuals born in this world depending on
Saturns interaction with other karaka planets. In performing such duties presided over and
decided by Saturn the presiding deity, there will help and cooperation of other planets to Saturn
whether this cooperation will prove beneficial or harmful to the native depends upon the
planetary configurations I the natives birth chart and during transits. Jupiter is the other main
major planet representing the life force or Jeeva whose interaction with the event karaka planet is
important for fructification of the event. Rahu and Ketu are the other major planets generally
obstructing the event karaka planet. Mars is taken as the karaka planet for marriage event or for
the marital knot . Marital knot as distinctly different from the concept of marital bliss or
wretchedness of marital life. How a marriage event manifests has no bearing on how life
develops in the context of the marital aspect. Contributory factors culminating in the marriage
event cease to have any further play or contribution thereafter. Under the nadi method, Venus is
depicted as karaka for marital life which can develop into marital bliss or crucible for suffering.
Transits
In nadi astrology, transits of Saturn and Jupiter are mainly considered connecting the karaka
planet of an event in the birth chart for timing the event. Since Mars is the karaka planet for
marriage event, the interaction of Saturn and Jupiter with mars during their transit becomes
opportune for the marriage event to occur. The 7th sign depicts partner of the native, the one with
whom the marital knot is tied and the transits of Saturn and Jupiter with the 7th sign from Mars
also becomes opportune. Jupiter and Saturn interact with natal Mars in birth chart when they
transit over these signs or aspect these signs. Jupiter transits each sign for about an year and
Saturn transits each sign for about 2 1/2 years. It can be seen that in ones life span, Jupiter and
Saturn would be interacting with the sensitive point of marital knot periodically at regular cyclic
transits. While it is prerequisite that Saturn and Jupiter in their transit interact with mars natal
position to bring about marriage event, it does not follow that every time Jupiter and Saturn
interact with marital knot sensitive point it would be necessarily result in the marriage event. The
task, therefore, is to elect the particular transit of Saturn and Jupiter out of the series of transits
by process of eliminating unproductive transits. The step in this direction is to check whether the
karaka for marriage event mars comes under situations to cause delay or obstruction. Rahus
interaction with Mars can cause impediments or delay in marriage. Symbolically , Mars is
considered as being swallowed by Rahu.

Change of Sign
In nadi astrology, whenever a planet is retrograde in a sign, it is considered to be in the previous
sign also. When Saturn is in the beginning of a sign upto about 3 degrees and Jupiter up to about
1 degree, they are taken to be in the previous sign. When two planets in parivartana (exchange of
signs) they are taken to be in their own signs.

Navamsa
In nadi astrology, the transit of major planets is also considered in the navamsa chart in the
fructification of the event. Since navamsa chart is supposed to represent marriage aspect, the
transit of Saturn and Jupiter over the navemsa lagna and navamsa lagna lord is considered as
additional point for timing of marriage.

NADI METHOD RULES FOR MARRIAGE AGE

The following are the main rules for arriving at probable marriage age:

a. Jupiter during transit conjoins or aspects natal Mars or 7th sign from natal
Mars.

b. Saturn during transit conjoins or aspects natal Mars or 7th sign from natal
Mars.
 c. Jupiter during transit conjoins or aspects navamsa lagna or navamsa lagna
lord.

d. Saturn during transit conjoins or aspects navamsa lagna or navamsa lagna

lord.

The following additional points may also be noted:

a. When Jupiter, Saturn or Mars is retrograde in birth chart in a particular sign,

they are to be considered to be in the previous sign also and age is to be
counted from there.

b. When Jupiter is in about 1 degree and Saturn is about 3 degrees in the

beginning of a sign, they are to be considered to be in the previous sign also
as per the Vakya Siddhanta followed by nadi astrology and age is to be
counted from there.

c. When Rahu is with Mars or next sign to Mars, the 4th sign from mars would
be the sensitive point for interaction with transits of Jupiter, Saturn , Rahu.

d. When Rahu is in opposite sign to mars, the 4th sign from there, that is,. the
10th sign form natal Mars is to be considered as the sensitive point.

e. When Mars is in parivartana ( exchange of signs) with another planet, Mars is

to be considered to be in own sign acting as the sensitive point.

f. When Mars is retrograde with Rahu, first Mars is to be place in the previous
sign and the 4th sign from there is to be considered as the sensitive point.

Thumb Rule for Counting Age

Counting of age is to be started from natal Jupiter sign at the rate for one year per sign in
clockwise direction, from natal Saturn sign at the rate of 2 1/2 years per sign in clockwise
direction and from natal Rahu sign at the rate of 1 1/2 years per sign in anti-clockwise direction.
This means that Jupiter transit on the natal Jupiter sign is considered as completion of one year
age and accordingly Jupiter transit on the next sign is taken as completion of two years and so
on. Similarly Saturn on natal Saturn sign is considered as completion of 2 1/2 years and on the
next sign completion of 5 years and so on. Rahu transit on natal Rahu is taken as completion of 1
1/2 years and on the previous sign since Rahu moves anti-clockwise completion of 3 years and
so on. By this thumb rule, it can be quickly checked in which signs Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu
would be during transit for completed years. As already stated earlier, the transit positions of
Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu can be noted from 21 years age onward to check their interaction with
natal Mars, navamsa lagna and navamsa lagna lord to eliminate the unproductive ages for
marriage due to Rahu interaction with Mars.

It is admitted that this thumb rule would not give the actual transits as per the ephemeris, but
would definitely help in quickly arriving at the probable marriage age without wasting much
time and energy tro find the transit positions for every year from the ephemeris.

EXAMPLES: (Lahiri Ayanamsa is taken)

Some typical practical examples of known persons are given below:

Chart 1:

Male born 4 Sept 1907, 1802 hrs IST, 18N07, 83E25, Marriage Age 16
Lagna Aquarius, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, Mars in Sagittarius, navamsa lagna Pisces,
navamsa lagna lord Jupiter in Libra

At age 16, Jupiter transits in Libra aspecting 7th sign Gemini from natal Mars in Sagittarius,
Saturn transits in Virgo aspects 7th sign Gemini from natal mars in Sagittarius. Transit Saturn
also aspects navamsa lagna Pisces and Jupiter also transits over navamsa lagna lord Jupiter in
Libra.

Chart 2:

Male born 16 July 1964, 1620 hrs, 79E40, 17N58, Marriage 3 March 1991 ( Age 26)
Lagna Scorpio, Jupiter in Aries, Saturn (retro) in Aquarius, Mars in Taurus, navamsa lagna
Aquarius, navamsa lagna lord Saturn in Capricorncorn.

At age 26, Jupiter transits in Taurus over natal Mars and also aspects navamsa lagna lord Saturn
in Capricorncorn, Saturn is taken to be in Capricorncorn being in retrograde in Aquarius and
counting age from Capricorncorn transits in Scorpio and aspects Mars in Taurus and also aspects
navamsa lagna lord Saturn in Capricorncorn.

Chart 3:

Female born 24 Feb 1965, 1030 hrs, 80E36, 16N32, Marriage 21 Jan 1991 (25/26))
Lagna Aries, Jupiter in Aries, Saturn in Aquarius, Mars (retro) in Virgo, navamsa lagna Scorpio,
navamsa lagna lord mars in Gemini.
At age 25, Jupiter transiting in Aries aspects Mars in Leo (taken Leo since Mars in retrograde in
Virgo), Saturn transiting in Scorpio aspects Mars in Leo (Virgo retro) and over navamsa lagna.

At age 26, Jupiter transiting in Taurus aspects Mars in Virgo (taking as it is ) and aspects
navamsa lagna , Saturn transiting in Sagittarius aspects Mars in Virgo (taking as it ) and aspects
navamsa lagna lord in Gemini.

Chart 4:

Male born 25 Feb 1961, 0927 hrs, 17N27, 78E33, Marriage 25 April 1993 (Age 32) ( 25/26)
Lagna Aries, Jupiter 3 degrees 10 min., in Capricorncorn, Saturn 2 degrees 31 min., in
Capricorncorn, Mars in Gemini, navamsa lagna Gemini, navamsa lagna lord Venus in Aquarius

At age 32, Jupiter transits in Leo and aspects 7th sign Sagittarius from natal mars in Gemini.,
Saturn is at 2 degrees 31 min., in Capricorncorn and taken to be in Sagittarius (nadi rule if Saturn
is upto about 3 degrees in a sign considered as if in previous sign) transits in Sagittarius and
aspects mars in Gemini and navamsa lagna lord Venus in Aquarius.

In this case, since it is considered as late marriage, other ages are also considered to check why
the marriage event was missed earlier. The Age Table in Appendix gives the transits as per the
thumb rule as well as per ephemeris. The signs and comments in the brackets are as for the data
from ephemeris for ready comparison.

It may be noted in the comments, at other ages, either Rahu obstructs Mars or Jupiter and Saturn
are not connected to Mars and hence the marriage event could not take place. Whereas at age 32,
in the case of the thumb rule, Jupiter and Saturn are connected to Mars and Navamsa lagna lord
and Rahu does not obstruct Mars and in the ephemeris data Saturn in Aquarius is not connected
to Mars.

Chart 5:

Male born 25 Nov 1964, 1523 hrs, 17N26, 78E27, Marriage 28 Feb 1991 0300 hrs, 17N42,
83E18, (Age 26/27)
Lagna Aries, Jupiter (retro) in Aries, Saturn in Aquarius, Mars in Leo, navamsa lagna Aries,
navamsa lagna lord Mars in Leo, Mars and Sun are in Parivartana (exchange of houses).

At age 26, Jupiter in Pisces (being retrograde in Aries) transits in Aries, aspects Mars , over
navamsa lagna Aries and aspects navamsa lagna lord Mars in Leo, Saturn transits in Sagittarius
aspects 7th from natal Mars in Leo.

At age 27, Jupiter transits in Taurus, aspects Mars in Scorpio (being in exchange of signs with
Sun), Saturn transits in Sagittarius aspects 7th from Mars.
Chart 6:

Male born 3 August 1942, 0723 hrs, 13N00, 77E35, Marriage August (Age 30)
Lagna Leo, Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Taurus, Mars & Rahu in Leo, Navamsa lagna Taurus.

Since Mars is with Rahu in Leo, the sensitive point is Scorpio, the 4th from Leo. At age 30,
Jupiter transiting in Scorpio is over Mars, Saturn transiting in Taurus aspects Scorpio Mars and
both are also connected with navamsa lagna Taurus.

Chart 7:

Male (one of twins) born 5 Nov 1956, 0241 hrs, 16N32, 80E36, Marriage 22 March 1992 (Age
35).
Lagna Leo 29 deg.26 min, Jupiter 1 deg.19 min. in Virgo, Saturn 9 deg.27 min. in Scorpio, Mars
25deg 53 min. in Aquarius, navamsa lagna Sagittarius, navamsa lagna lord in Capricorncorn.

At age 35, Jupiter in Leo (being in 1 deg. 19 min. in Virgo as per nadi rule) transits in Gemini
and aspects Natal Mars in Aquarius and navamsa lagna Sagittarius, Saturn transits in Sagittarius
aspects Mars and over navamsa lagna.

Chart 8:

Male (twin brother of chart 7) born 5 Nov 1956, 0226 hrs,16N32, 80E36, Marriage 18 Aug 1988.
( Age 32)

Lagna Leo 25 deg.49 min., Jupiter in Virgo 1deg.18min., Saturn in Scorpio 9 deg.27 min, Mars
in Aquarius 23 deg.52 min., navamsa lagna Scorpio, navamsa lagna lord in Taurus.

At age 32, Jupiter transits in Aries (natal Jupiter is taken to be in Virgo only) aspects 7th from
Mars, Saturn transits in Scorpio aspects 7th from Mars, transits over navamsa lagna and aspects
navamsa lagna lord, if Jupiter is taken to be in Leo, Jupiter transits in Pisces almost over Mars
and aspects navamsa lagna.

NOTE: The twin with earlier navamsa lagna got married earlier.

Chart 9:

Female(one of twins) born 25 Nov 1967, 2223 hrs, 17N26, 78E27, Marriage 1989 (age 22)
Lagna Cancer 15deg 59min34sec. Jupiter 11.19.05, Saturn (retro) Pisces 12.24.48, Mars
Capricorncorn 1.53.16, navamsa lagna Scorpio, navamsa lagna lord in Capricorncorn.
At age 22, Jupiter transiting in Taurus aspects Mars and navamsa lagna lord, Saturn (being
retrograde taken in Aquarius) transitting in Libra aspects 7th form Mars. Taking Saturn in Pisces
itself transits in Scorpio aspects Mars and navamsa lagna.

Chart 10:

Female (twin sister of chart 9) born 25 Nov 1967, 2220 hrs, 17N26, 78E27, Marriage 1989
( Age 22)

Lagna 14.58.48 Cancer, Jupiter 11.19.05 in Leo, Saturn 12.24.48 in Pisces, Mars Capricorncorn,
navamsa lagna Scorpio, navamsa lagna lord in Capricorncorn.

At age 22 ,same as given for Chart 9.

NOTE: When the navamsa lagna is same the marriage took place at same age for both twins.

Chart 11:

It was predicted in Jan 2005, when their parents asked about her marriage, that her marriage
would be in her 22/23 age, most probably at her 22 1/2 age.

Female born 30 Nov 1982, 0405 hrs, 17N23, 78E23, Marriage 1 June 2005
Lagna Libra, Jupiter in Scorpio, Saturn in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Rahu in Gemini,Navamsa
Lagna Capricorncorn, Namamsa Lagna lord in Scorpio.
Since Rahu is in 7th from Mars, take 4th from 7th ie., 10th from Mars in Sagittarius Virgo as
Sensitive point.

At age 23, Jupiter transits in Virgo over sensitive point in Virgo aspects Navamsa lagna, Saturn
transits over Cancer aspects sensitive point Virgo aspects Navamsa lagna.
Since Jupiter and Mars are in exchange of houses ( parivartana) taking Mars in Scorpio and
Jupiter in Sagittarius, at age 22 Jupiter transits in Virgo aspects 7th from Mars Taurus aspects
over Navamsa lagna, Saturn transits in Gemini almost aspects Mars in Scorpio and Navamsa
lagna lord and at age 23 transits in Cancer almost aspects 7th from Mars aspects Navamsa lagna.

As per the actual ephemeris on the marriage day, Jupiter is retro in Virgo and Saturn just entered
Cancer and Jupiter being retro considered to be in Leo aspects Natal Mars in Sagittarius and
Saturn almost aspects.
Natal Mars and in fact at the time of fixing the marriage Saturn transits in Gemini aspects Natal
Mars.

Chart 12:
Male born 04 Feb 1946, 0742 hrs, 17N23, 78E 27, Marriage 07 May 1971 at 22:30 hrs ( Age 25)
Lagna Aquarius, Jupiter in Libra, Saturn Gemini9, Mars ( retro) Gemini, Rahu Gemini, Navamsa
lagna Scorpio, Navamsa lagna lord Aries.

Since Mars is Retrograde in Gemini and with Rahu, first consider Mars in Taurus and then count
4th house from there ie Leo as the Sensitive point.
At age 25, Jupiter transits in Libra aspects 7th Aquarius from the sensitive point Leo, aspect
navamsa lagna lord; Saturn is considered to be in Taurus being retrograde in Gemini transits
Aquarius aspects 7th from sensitive point aspects navamsa lagna Scorpio and navamsa lagna
lord.

Conclusion
Many charts with birth data and marriage dates(88)are checked with this thumb rule method and
in 43 charts all the four rules are satisfied and in the rest also nearly 3 rules are satisfied. It looks
that this method gives better results compared to actual transits taken from ephemeris for
different ages which is also a tedious process. Therefore, the thumb rule to count the ages from
Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu can be followed to arrive at the probable age for marriage. Shri Shankar
should be thanked in indicating Mars as marital knot karaka and transit of Jupiter connecting
Mars for marriage timing. The method is extended including transits of Saturn and Rahu
connecting mars, navamsa lagna and navamsa lagna lord, to select the probable age eliminating
unproductive ages due to Rahus connection with Mars.

Marriage being the most auspicious and major event, there must be some allowance for planets
in transit to properly correlate the fixation of marriage and its actual ceremony. Planets could
have easily changed their position between these two phases. The transits at the marriage fixation
time also may satisfy the rules better than at the actual marriage time.

All the readers are requested to study this thumb rule method with the birth data and the marriage
dates available with them along with the actual transits as per ephemeris. They should do further
research to formulate better rules to arrive at more appropriate results for marriage timing of not
only marriage age but also up to the marriage month and date in that marriage age.
