In astrology timing of events is the most difficult part. We, at Saptarishis Astrology have concentrated on this subject and decided to curate a reliable and consistent method for timing different events in one’s life. Marriage is one of the most crucial events that take place in life.

I studied many methods including one that claimed to have a 97 percent success rate, which failed in my case. Therefore, I am presenting a novel method, which will surely be of value to parents who want assistance in planning their children’s marriag I don’t claim that this technique gives 100 percent results, but with this method in mind, one can find the right year of marriage with ease as it requires no Mahadasha and Antardasha.

STEP-1

The first step is to identify whether the horoscope has an early marriage or a late marriage yoga.

Combinations for early marriage:

Venus near the Ascendant or posited in the 1st, 2nd, 11th or 12th house. The only condition is that Venus should be strong.
Jupiter or Moon’s aspect on Venus. Here, Venus should not be connected to Saturn.
Venus should not be suffering combustion (Asta) by the Sun.
Jupiter’s aspect on the 7th house with no other malefic influences on the 7th house.
7th lord under aspect of Jupiter and Moon.
Connections between 1st and 7th lords.

Venus is with Jupiter in a Kendra, 4th house.

The 7th lord Mars is debilitated and also has aspect of Rahu. But as the dispositor of Mars, the Moon is exalted, Mars is not extremely weak.

Here both the 7th lord Mars and the 7th house has aspect of Rahu, which is a delaying factor, hence the native married in the 3rd round of Jupiter at the age 26y-03m.

Combinations for late marriage:

Saturn posited in the 1st or the 7th house.
Sat-Venus, Sat-Sun conjunction or opposition.
Venus is suffering combustion (Asta) by Sun.
Venus placed in the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th house.

According to Nadi astrology the Karaka for husband is Mars. It is has sole aspect of Rahu. Mars first meets Rahu which caused an inordinate delay.

After performing remedies, she married at age 35y-10m-11d

STEP-2

After deciding the probable age of marriage. Try to find out the following progressions.

For male charts:

Find out the years in which progressed Saturn connects to Mars and/ or Venus or the 7th sign from Mars. (Use aspects 1, 5, 9, 7, 3, 11)
Find out the year in which progressed Jupiter connects to Mars and/or Venus or the 7th sign from Mars. (Use aspects 1,5,9,7).
According to Nadi astrology Mars-Moon and Ketu-Moon show the marriage event hence if Saturn or Jupiter connects with these combinations, it indicates marriage.

The chart from Ex. 1 is reproduced here.

She married at the age of 17y-10m-1d.

Saturn is retrograde, hence put it in Capricorn. Count 2.5 years for every house from Capricorn. In the 18th year, Saturn will pass over Venus.
(As Saturn is 23-28 degrees, the count will be from the natal position of Saturn. In the 18th year Saturn will pass over Mars).
In the 18th year Jupiter passes from Libra and aspects the 7th sign from Venus (5th aspect).
(As Jupiter has traveled 26-46, the count will be from Gemini. Jupiter will go from Scorpio and aspect the 7th sign from Mars).
Jupiter in transit (actual) was passing through Scorpio which activates a Moon-Ketu yoga.

She married at 20y- 00m-20d.

Saturn is Retrograde so put it in the previous house and count from that house. Saturn in the 21st running year will pass over Mar-Rahu in Leo.
Jupiter is retro hence count from Sagittarius. Jupiter in the second round will pass over Mars and Rahu in Leo.
You may wonder why there is no visible connection to Venus, which must be there according to Parashari rules. Note that Venus is at 0 degree and Asc is 18 degrees, hence Venus is in the fourth house in the cusp chart. If you put Venus in Aries, the connection of Venus is established.

Mahatma Gandhi married at age 13y-07m.

Jupiter is retrograde, hence we will count from Pisces. During the 14th year, Jupiter will pass over natal Jupiter and will connect to Ven-Mer-Mars.
Saturn in progression will also pass over Jupiter and connect to Ven-Mer-Mars.

(Alternatively, Jupiter is at the ending degrees of Aries, hence count should be from Aries. Jupiter will pass through Taurus, making the connection with Moon-Ketu, which shows events like marriage. As Saturn is at 21 degrees, he will have only 10 months to travel in Scorpio, hence we start the count from Sagittarius. At the age of 14 it will come to Taurus and connect with Moon-Ketu).

He married at 26y 3m, that is the 27th year.

Saturn is retrograde, hence count from Pisces. In the 27th year, Saturn passes over Capricorn and connects to Mars.
Jupiter in the 27th year passes through Libra and aspects Saturn, which is in trine with Venus-Jupiter-Mercury-Sun.

Alternatively, Saturn in actual transit was in Aquarius, connecting to natal Venus, and Jupiter was in Scorpio, connecting to natal Mars-Moon, which shows marriage.

She married actor Abhishek Bachchan on 20th April 2007 at age 33y-05m-19d.

Saturn is retrograde, hence put it in Taurus. In the 34th year, Saturn will pass through Gemini and connect to natal Venus-Moon. As Mars is in the 5th from Venus, Saturn is also considered to be connected to natal Mars.
Jupiter will pass through Libra and connect to Ketu -Moon.

Alternatively, Saturn will pass through Cancer and connect to Mars (as Mars is retrograde it is also considered to be in Pisces. Transit Jupiter was in Scorpio connecting natal Mars.)

He married at 31y-02m-15d.

Saturn is retrograde, hence put it in Gemini. From there, progressed Saturn will pass through Gemini in the 32nd year and connect to natal Mercury and Venus.
Jupiter in the 32nd year passes through Libra and connects to Venus via natal Saturn. However, here a connection to Mars is not established. Note that Jupiter is at 26 degrees, hence it will remain in Pisces for only about 1.5 months. So, count from Aries which shows Jupiter will pass through Scorpio, connecting to natal Mars.

She married in her 36th year.

In the 36th year, Jupiter passes over natal Venus and also aspects the 7th sign from Mars.
Saturn transits over the 7th sign from Mars and aspects Venus.
