Every marriage starts with aspirations of never-ending love and bliss, but many couples wind up navigating rough waters rather than calm ones. Why is it that some couples enjoy marital bliss while others, no matter how hard they try, fail? Could there be any other reasons for cracks in a relationship?
According to Vedic Astrology, the placement of planets & stars plays an impactful role in our lives, including how marriage will work out. It sheds light on why some marriages flourish while some falter. Isn’t this interesting how stars & their positions tell about the reasons for marital discord? Well, let’s put this curiosity to an end by exploring the astrological factors behind divorce.
1. Negative Effects on the Seventh House
The seventh house in Vedic astrology is in charge of marriage and relationships. If the 7th house is in the correct position, then it is a good sign that marriage will have a blissful future. But if there are any harmful planets, such as Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, or Mars, revolving around this house, then the chances of crisis in a relationship spike up.
SATURN: If there is a presence of this planet in the 7th house, then there is a possibility of miscommunications, delays, & so on.
RAHU: Rahu’s presence causes dissatisfaction by creating false expectations, illusions, etc.
MARS (Manglik Dosh): This planet can have a negative influence on relationships as it invites a lot of conflicts & power struggles.
2. Troubling Venus
Venus planet is known for love & understanding in relationships. If Venus is positioned decently then it can bring all good things like love, intimacy, understanding, and so on. However, it can bring tension, infidelity, and lack of attraction if the same is not properly placed or joined tightly to other planets.
For example: If Venus is too close to the Sun, then ego clashes can arise.
Making the marriage work becomes more difficult and blurry if Venus is off-balance or weak in either partner’s charts.
3. Mars (Manglik Dosha)
It is a well-known factor in negatively affecting marriage. It influences marriage when it is placed in the houses like 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th of a person’s chart. Its presence causes:
– Stress and disagreements in the marriage that never stop.
– Dominance problems, violence, or mental and physical abuse.
The fact that Manglik Dosha isn’t always a stumbling rock should not be overlooked. It is important to note that its impact can be reduced by astrological remedies & properly analysing compatibility.
4. Poor or unsatisfactory Moon
You would be wondering how Moon plays a role over here? Well, it is in charge of how much mentally stable a person is, how he/ she responds to relationship difficulties, and his/ her emotions. When a weak moon is placed in destructive houses or is joined to planets such as Rahu or Ketu, it can lead to mood swings, emotional instability, or insecurity.
Combination of Moon & Rahu: When these 2 are combined, overthinking, misunderstandings between partners can arise.
When the Moon gets under the influence of the planet Saturn becomes extremely judgmental or emotionally reserved.
When one or both the partners are facing emotional issues, it becomes challenging to settle disputes in a constructive manner, frequently causing the relationship to collapse.
5. Ketu in the Seventh House and How It Affects Venus
The gloomy planet Ketu is a symbol of disinterest, alienation, and spiritual interests. When this planet is in the 7th house or under the influence of Venus, it might be interpreted as a sign of disinterest in preserving marital peace.
When either of the partner is under the influence of Ketu, he or she gives more priority to personal growth or spiritual journey than marriage or relationship. The person can feel detached and lose interest in marriage. This lack of participation or emotional commitment can gradually weaken the bond between partners, making divorce appear inevitable.
How Astrology Aids in Divorce Prevention?
You might find the above astrological factors terrifying but the presence of these doesn’t guarantee divorce. In fact, these factors tell more about what problems are faced by couple & how the same can be resolved.
This is how astrology can be useful:
- Analysis of compatibility between partners: Prior to marriage, kundali matching is essential for reviewing compatibility between partners, which helps in determining the relationship’s strengths and shortcomings.
- Astrological remedies: The negative effects of evil planets can be lessened by chanting mantras, wearing jewels, or doing pujas.
- Therapies & counseling: Guidance from astrologers can help partners solve tensions between them in a healthy way with patience, clarity, & empathy.
