Introduction
Astrology from time immemorial and is based on
the 'Vedas,' which prescribed the 'knowledge' or 'wisdom,' Among the Vedhas Jotish is a part which
denotes the activities of Navagrahas. The word Jothish is arrived from the word
Jothi which is a light. In a dark passage the light shows the path similarly this science forecast the past,
present and future and hence this Sasthra is called as Jothish. Astrology is recognized as one of the most
powerful system and is being practiced and which is followed by millions around
the world. Astrology's primary focus is on the planetary movements and on that
basis the prediction of the future in all aspects. From Astrology one can also
able to find out the karmic tendencies and about its manifestation and how it
will influence on a human. In this article I am going to discuss about the
cause of Divorce.
Discussion
In ancient texts on Indian Astrology
there were mention about important combinations which lead to disappointment in
the married life. In Astrology, 7th house and its lord represents spouse and
partners. Sage Parasara in his
‘Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra’ describes the following points about
7th house:
Separation is indicated when 7th house lord is in the house of its enemy or if 7th lord is debilitated or 7th lord is receiving aspects from malefic planets or is in ‘astangatva’. Astangatva represents nearer or conjunction with Sun.
Separation is indicated if 7th lord is positioned in 6th, 8th or 12th houses and is weak. Here weakness means conjunction with bad planets.
Separation is indicated if the 7th house is being occupied by malefic planets or seen by malefic planets.
Varahamihira in his ‘Bruhajjataka’ adds that If there is a mixer of good and bad planets in the 7th house, the native will have more than one marriage. This view is also supported by Kalayna Varma in his ‘Saaravali’.
Mantreswara in his ‘Phaladeepika’ says: If Venus or 7th lord is hemmed between malefic planets or conjunct with malefic planets or aspect by malefic planets then it is also a sign of losing the partner.

Kalyana Varma in his ‘Saaraavali’ says:
Mars in 7th house leads to loss of partner and if that Mars is aspect by
Saturn, then death of partner can be predicted.
Let us remember, in Astrology, the planets Saturn, Mars, Sun, Rahu and Kethu are considered natural malefic planets where as the planets Jupiter and Venus are natural benefic. When Saturn or Rahu involve with 7th house affairs, we can say the spouse has past life debts to be repaid in terms of marriage relationship. Saturn and Rahu represent separation, sometimes owing to the death of the spouse. If Mars is involved, then it denotes one of the partners becoming aggressive and wild thus spoiling the relation.

Case study:

The Ascendant is Virgo. The 7th house becomes Pisces whose lord Jupiter posited in the own house. This represents that this native’s wife is strong and endowed with leadership qualities. Mars is also joined with Jupiter thus making her stubborn and quarrelsome. Observe that the 7th lord is in conjunction with the malefic planet Mars. Also this 7th lord is receiving 10th aspect from Saturn, another first class malefic. More over 7th lord is also in aspect from Rahu. Saturn and Rahu represent separation. Here the Pisces is

Also this 7th lord is receiving 10th aspect from Saturn, another first class malefic. More over 7th lord is also in aspect from Rahu. Saturn and Rahu represent separation. Here the Pisces is
happen to be the Bhathakasthanam and the
Bhathakathipathi Jupiter has occupied the same house. Hence the Karako Bhava
nasthi has happened. So, the marriage
was broken. Also Saturn is becoming 5th lord representing children in this
horoscope. Saturn is in turn receiving 4th aspect from Mars. More over, Saturn
is conjunct with Sun which is a bad combination. This combination represents
loss of children. These factors made the native to be separated from his wife
and son.
The following are some
of the important principles. Various reasons of separation or
divorce between husband and wife have been detailed above and now we to in
age have astrologically.
While analyzing the
horoscope the basic rule of "Sepration" is to be analyzed which gives
a clear view of its influences, specially of Rahu.
Sun, Saturn, Rahu and 12th House
lord of sing occupied by these planets are seprative in character, that is to
say, these planet cause separation from or abandonment of the traits of the
House etc. which they influence by association or aspect.
For example, if two or
more of the above-mentioned planets influence the 4th House and
its lord, one is forced to leave his home or country of birth. If they
influence 10th House and its lord and Sun, one has to be
separated from the benefits of the ruling powers, viz resigning from service,
termination of service, change in profession etc.
Findings
1.
Jupiter in 7th House
generally, even lord of 7th does bestow very
unsatisfactory results. He causes great disappointments and
dissatisfaction in married life. He cause undue delay in marriage.
2. Marital
disorder may occur seeking separation when Venus is found in Kritrika, Moola,
Aridra or Jyeshtha Nakshatras. Out of these, Kritika is most inauspicious and
gives very bad results.
3. When the 7th lord is in 6th house and
afflicted by dividing influence, there may be separation. Similarly, when 7th lord
or signification joins the 6th lord and is afflicted by aspect
or conjunction of malefic, similar results will be there. When strong
Jupiter makes a link with the above combinations in
any form, the separation may be saved but the misunderstanding between husband
and wife will be there.
4. 6th House
denotes legal disputes and connection of malefic 6th lord with
7th House, 7th lord or signification may result
in legal action and separation. Also when 7th lord or
signification joins 6th House being afflicted by malefic.
5. When 7th House,
7th lord and significations all are afflicted, conjoined
associated or aspected by malefics, unhappiness in married life is indicated.
Significations are Venus for males and Mars in case of females.
6. When Rahu
and Saturn join Lagan, one is likely to fac4e strife and separation in married
life. When 7th lord is retrograde and is also afflicted,
similar results are experienced.
7. When
in female chart, Aries or Scorpio Lagan rise and 7thlord is weak,
combust, retrograde and is also afflicted, she will be abandoned by her
husband.
8. If
combination of Sun and Mars in either horoscope is in 2nd, 7th or
8th House, it holds out excellent prospects for
discarding, separation and divorce. It does not necessarily involve loss
of partner.
9. To analyze
marriage, affliction to Venus by situation, association or aspects of
malefics have an adverse effect on morals. Venus represents the
other partner of marriage.
10. When
lords of 2nd and 7th Houses are in
constellation of evil lords, particularly in the constellation of 6th lord
and are afflicted, there will be separation, divorce, litigation etc. between
the couple.
11. Lord of seventh
house and lord of 7th from Moon
12.Location of benefics
and malefics in 7th house or that in 7th from the moon.
13.Venus and its
combination with other planets for a man and Jupiter’s position in a woman’s
chart.
Conclusion:
If we want to understand the difference between (i) lack of
marriage and (ii) separation and (iii) separation resulting in a divorce, then
we need to look at all these factors and combination with various malefic/benefic. If one of the malefic factors does not exist or is replaced by a
strong benefic aspect, e.g., 7th or 9th aspect of Jupiter, then it denotes that
marriage will indeed take place, but may result in separation. We should also
consider that aspect is to be considered far more harmful than conjunction. If
Moon and Rahu are conjunct, then Rahu’s aspect on 7th will case more trouble in
its dasha/antardasha compared to the case if Rahu was to be situated in 7th.
Presence of Rahu/Sun in 7th house in their capacity of malefic planets will
result in an unhappy marriage and/or separation. 7th lord in 8th or vice versa
also has the same effect.
By the way, Rahu’s conjunction with Moon will cause other
psychological problems in the way of mental health that can anyway cause
marital discord, in this case indirectly though. Moon/Saturn can cause problem
similarly due to depression, but I will try to come up with a totally different
article on this topic.
Although both 5th and 7th houses are considered auspicious and
together they can cause rajyoga, their conjunction or exchange is not good for
marriage. Presence of 7th lord in 5th house causes discord with wife and
denotes lack of children. Similarly 5th lord in 7th indicates lack of happiness
in marriage.
Just with these aspects, we cannot directly predict divorce. Since
divorce has a legal angle, presence of 6th house lord in this equation is
required. The influence could again be through aspect or conjunction.
For predicting multiple marriages or remarriage after divorce,
benefic + malefic combination on the above mentioned factors should be looked
at accordingly. Aspect of a benefic like Jupiter could check this factor, but
we have to finally look at the balance of benefic and malefic aspects to
predict th final outcome. Some of the important combinations for multiple
marriages are:
1.
2 planets located in
11th house
2.
Venus and/or Jupiter
(accordingly) and 7th lord in dual signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces)
3.
Mercury or Saturn in 7th
house
