Marriage, Women and Astrology

First there was only ‘one’ and then there were ‘two’ for the sake of procreation, a duality categorized as ‘male’ and ‘female’ energies. Each of them is interdependent on the other, else the process of creation will cease. A woman needs a man and vice versa and hence the presence of the opposite energy in an individual destiny is crucial. To put it in simpler words, man needs the grace of the ‘Goddess’ (female) to attract this ‘energy’ into his life and a woman needs to be in the favourable domain of the ‘Male Cosmic Force’ to experience the bliss of a husband. This is probably the reason why in the ancient Vedic culture women prayed to ‘Shiva’ and men propitiated ‘Durga’. Of course the manifestation of these two energies are worshiped and recognized in all civilizations but with different names like Zagreus-Dionysus (Lord of the Animals or Pashupati) or Cybele-Parvati (Lady of the mountains). 
Astrology categorizes all planets as either male or female which makes it easy for an astrologer to gauge the influence of either energy in a personal horoscope with remarkable precision. The fiery Mars is the representation of the ‘Cosmic Male’ and the disposition of this planet is vital in a female horoscope. Mars is the destroyer of marriage and relationships if He causes the dreaded ‘Mars Blemish’ (Manglik Dosha), which occurs when Mars is placed in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Ascendant. It affects the married life of a person in one of the various ways: it creates hurdles, delays and problems in getting married. It can cause physical, mental or financial troubles for one or both of the partners after marriage. One having Mars Blemish should marry someone who has got a similar Mars Blemish present in his/her horoscope as this ‘Yoga’ gets neutralized then.

Remedies for Mars blemish:

1) Keep fast on Tuesdays (if your health permits) and should only take liquid drinks without salt. After sunset you can have your regular meals.
2) Do not live in the house whose entrance is towards the southern direction.
3) Eat honey early in the morning.
4) Do not keep ivory or articles made out of ivory in your house.
5) Do not keep any rusted iron objects in your house.
6) You should not eat non-vegetarian food nor consume alcohol on Tuesdays

However the most effective remedy to nullify ‘Mars Blemish’ and also other malefic planetary combinations related to love and marriage is the energized ‘Gauri-Shankar Rudraksha’ bead which is to be worn in a rosary around the neck. However care must be taken to ensure that the bead in genuine and should be purchased from a reputed source. Genuine Rudraksha can be bought from www.soothsayers-india.com an official website of the renowned Vedic astrology organization ‘The Himalayan Ashram of Vedic Astrologers’ India.


The divine Jupiter another male planet is the natural significator of marriage and His placement is also crucial to the actualization of a marriage event. A strong Jupiter when aspecting the ‘7th house of marriage’ will most definitely result in a happy marital life and also blesses one with a virtuous and noble husband.

In the cosmic fraternity Venus is the planet of love and sensual pleasures and so She must also be strong to give an attractive personality which pulls the male counterpart.  

Then there are several ‘Yogas’ formed by mutual fusion of planetary energies which facilitate love and marriage in one’s life and also indicate the timing of these events, when they get activated.

The planet which is the lord of the ‘7th house’ in a horoscope represents the ‘husband’ and hence his characteristics and personality traits can be accurately assessed through a woman’s horoscope.

An Indian horoscope reading is the ultimate predictive document to forecast marriage for women. One can go for the Marriage Horoscope or Love Horoscope to get a detailed interpretation of this particular aspect of life.
