When marriage comes: the periods and the transits

In short: The classical books time marriage by the daśā and by Jupiter's transit together. Marriage comes in the daśā of the stronger of the lords of the sign and navāṃśa held by the 7th lord, or of the stronger of Venus and the Moon, when Jupiter is in a trine of the 7th lord's sign or navāṃśa (Phaladīpikā 10.14); and in the daśā of a planet in the 7th, one aspecting it, or the 7th lord (10.13).

No verse gives a date. The books give the periods and the transits in which marriage comes. horoAstro finds the stretches of your sub-periods (antardaśās) in which those rules hold, within the years of marriage, and shows each stretch with its verse.

In your reading

The Marriage page of your reading lists these stretches in order — first those where Phaladīpikā 10.14's period and Jupiter's trine come together, then the others — each with its dates, your age and its verse. The 7th house, its lord, Venus and the upapada, read from Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra, say what the marriage brings.

Questions

Can the kundli tell the exact date of marriage?

No. The verses give the periods and the transits in which marriage comes, not a date, and horoAstro does not invent one. You see the stretches where the rules hold, each with its verse.

Is it read the same way in a woman's chart?

Yes. The same rules are read in her chart for her husband, and her reading is written as hers.

Is marriage timing free?

Your kundli is free. Marriage timing is part of the full reading, a plan for that kundli; the price, with any introductory offer, is shown on this page.
