Timing of Marriage by Transits and Jaimini Astrology by Gautam Dave

Article by Gautam Dave

Predicting timing of events is a challenge for any astrologer. It’s a general practice to look at Vimshottari dasa of 7H Lord and planets connect to 7H, gochar (transit) of Jupiter in connection with 7H and its Lord. But it’s observed by many astrologers that you cannot have accuracy of more than 60% using these techniques. When I have started analysis of charts and timing of events using the method that will be presented, I found it working very well in more than 90% of the charts.

Let’s analyze the rules one by one. First we will study how through Jaimini system and gochar of Saturn/Mars and Jupiter are used to make predictions about the time of fructification of the marriage event.

Rules for predicting marriage

Broad Rule: Transit of Saturn, Mars and Jupiter connected with 7H, AL and UL or its Lords. These conditions are MANDATORY. AL, UL and its Lords should be noted as well.

Rule 1: Transit Saturn should aspect UL or its Lord, or be transiting on UL or its trines. During this transit Saturn should aspect his natal position or Jupiter/Mars or both.

Rule 2: Transit Mars should have connection with the factors mentioned in Rule 1.

Rule 3: Transit Jupiter should aspect AL or its Lord as well as 7H/7H Lord.

Rule 4:  Darakaraka will be connected by one or many ways with the houses and lords indicated in the 3 rules above.

Rule 5: Chara Dasa running at the moment of marriage should be connected with the above parameters.

Rule 6: Chara Dasa rashi Maha dasha (MD) and Antar Dasha (AD) should receive argala from Darakaraka and/or their respective lords (MD and AD lords).

Case Studies

Example 1 – Case 1: D.O.B.: July 26, 1973 at 21:48:10. Machilipatnam, India.

Marriage on: January 24, 1999.

Her Lagna is Meena, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Tula and DK is Mercury. Transit Saturn was in Mesh at that time. So UL is aspected being in 7H from Saturn, both natal Jupiter in Makara and natal Saturn in Mithuna are aspected by Saturn’s  10^th and 3^rd aspects. Transit Mars was in Tula in UL aspecting natal Jupiter in 4H from him and transiting Saturn (in Mesha at that time). Jupiter was transiting Meena over the natal AL Lord (Mars) aspecting 7H, DK and AL as well.

Chara dasa running at the moment was Tula/Meena. UL is placed in Libra and Pisces receives aspects from transit Saturn and Jupiter. Mars was transiting UL aspecting Jupiter (AD lord).

MD rashi gets argala from its lord Venus, which is also UL Lord. AD rashi gets argala from its lord (Jupiter) placed in 11H therefrom and Darakaraka Mercury from 5H.

Example 2 – Case 2: D.O.B.: April 4, 1970 at 17:47:08, Machilipatnam, India.

Marriage on: August 1, 1993.

Lagna is Kanya, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Tula and DK is Mercury. Transit Saturn was in Kumbha in trine to UL, aspecting AL through 10^rd house aspect and UL Lord Venus, AL Lord Mars and DK Mercury via 3^rd house aspect. Jupiter and Mars were transiting Kanya aspecting 7H, UL lord, DK and AL. Natal Jupiter aspects transiting Saturn and both natal Saturn and Mars are casting their aspect to AL, UL Lord and Darakaraka.

Chara Dasa was Dhanu/Meena. Both rashis are ruled by Jupiter, which is placed with UL in 2H. Pisces is the 7H from Lagna. Transit Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are connected with the rashis activated in Chara Dasha.

Dhanu gets argala from UL and MD Lord Jupiter from 11H there from. Upapada Lord and Darakaraka are also intervening from the 5H from MD sign.

Example 3 – Case 3: D.O.B.: September 12, 1971 at 8:25, Guntur, India.

Marriage on: August 1, 1993.

Tula Lagna, AL is Mithuna, UL is Karka and DK is Jupiter. Transit Saturn is in Kumbha, in trine to AL and aspects 7H, DK Jupiter, and AL Lord Mercury. Also Natal Saturn with UL lord aspects transit Saturn. Mars and Jupiter are transiting Kanya, aspecting 7H, UL Lord Moon, natal Mars and Saturn. Thus transit Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are in connection with natal Jupiter, Mars and Saturn.

Chara dasa running was Dhanu/Kumbha. MD Lord Jupiter is the Darakaraka aspecting both UL Lord (Moon) and AD Lord (Saturn). Transit Saturn was in Aquarius, and both Jupiter and Mars were transiting Virgo sign aspecting Sagittarius by rashi drishti. Hence, both rashis are connected with transiting Jupiter, Mars and Saturn.

MD rashi gets argala from UL (8H therefrom). AD rashi gets argala from its lord Saturn and UL Lord Moon placed in the 4H from there.

Example 4 – Case 4: D.O.B.: October 5, 1970 at 12:32pm. 80E21 18N48 (TZ: 5:30E)

Marriage on: January 1, 1999.

Lagna is Dhanu, AL is Simha, UL is Kumbha and DK is Mercury. At the time of marriage Saturn was in Mesha in trine to AL and Mars. He was transiting over his natal position, activating UL Lord (Saturn itself) and aspecting natal Jupiter by its 7H aspect. Transit Jupiter and Mars were in Meena aspecting 7H, DK& 7L Mercury and AL Lord Sun. All the connections are well established in this case. Seventh house was fully activated by transit Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

Chara dasa running was in Tula/Simha. AL is in Leo and UL is in Aquarius (7H from Leo), UL Lord Saturn is also aspecting MD rashi. In transit, all the three important planets are related with AD rashi.

MD rashi gets argala from UL from 5H therefrom and UL Lord by its 7H aspect. AD rashi gets argala from its lord and Darakaraka from 2H.

Example 5 – Case 5: D.O.B.: July 13, 1975 at 16:24:10, Eluru, India.

Marriage on: February 28, 2001.

Vrishchika Lagna, AL is Kanya, UL is Mithuna and DK is Mercury. Transit Saturn was in Vrishabha in 7^th house and trine to AL. Jupiter was also transiting Vrishabha and aspecting AL. Mars was in Vrishchika aspecting 7H and transiting Jupiter/Saturn (both placed in Vrishabha) were connected with AL. Now, transit Mars, under heavy influence of Jupiter and Saturn, aspects DK, its Lord and UL through its 8H aspect. So, all the requirements were present at the time of marriage.

Chara Dasa running was Karka/Dhanu. MD Lord Moon is placed with A7 (Leo) and 7L. Moon is also aspected by Saturn from UL rashi via 3H aspect carrying the influence of DK Mercury (conjunct Saturn in Mithuna). AD rashi is 7H from UL and its lord aspects both UL and AD rashi via rashi drishti, and MD rashi by 5H aspect. Transit Saturn aspects MD rashi and transit Mars was being aspected by AD Lord Jupiter by its 9H aspect.

MD rashi gets argala from its lord from 2H therefrom and AD rashi gets Jupiter’s argala from 5H therefrom.

Via 7H aspect he was also activating transit Saturn. Transit Jupiter aspects UL, 7L Mars and UL. Natal Mars and Saturn are aspecting transit Jupiter and UL Lagna lord. Furthermore, both planets are aspecting transit Saturn in 7H (Mesha). In this way, 7H and all the important parameters for this particular event are influenced by transiting Saturn, Mars and Jupiter.

Chara dasa running was Makara/Simha. MD rashi Lord contains AL and was being aspected by transit Saturn by its 3H aspect. Transit Mars aspects MD rashi and transit Jupiter aspects MD Lord via rashi drishti. AD Lord Sun is with UL Lord Mars aspected by transit Jupiter.

Marriage on: December 13, 2009.

Lagna is Simha, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Mesha and DK is Venus. Transit Saturn was in Kanya in the 2H aspecting AL and UL Lord Mars by its 3H aspect. The natal 7L Saturn was also aspecting transit Saturn at the time of the event. Hence, UL, AL and their lords were associated with natal and transit Saturn. Transit Mars was in Karka, making an exactly degree conjunction with natal 7L Saturn, it is also aspecting the 7H from Lagna by its 8H aspect. Transit Jupiter was in the last degrees of Makara just about to ingress into the 7H (Kumbha), in this position (Kumbha) Jupiter was being aspected by transiting Mars (AL and UL lord) via 4H and 8H aspects, respectively. Hence, a powerful connection of all required parameters is observed in this particular example.

Chara Dasa running was Makara/Mithuna. Darakaraka is placed in MD rashi receiving an aspect from UL Lagna Lord (Mars). AD rashi was also aspected by Mars at that time (8H drishti). Transit Saturn influences AD rashi by its 10H aspect. Transit Mars and Jupiter joins with MD and AD rashis.

AD rashi gets argala from MD lord from the 2H therefrom.

Example 14 – Case 15: D.O.B.: October 5, 1984 at 17:50. Ahmadabad, India.

Marriage on: December 12, 2009.

Transit Mars was in Karka getting aspected by transit Jupiter (7H aspect). Hence, mutual aspects were giving drishtis to 7H, UL and AL Lord Mercury (9H aspect).

Chara dasa running at the event was Simha/Kanya. MD Lord (Sun) is placed in AD rashi Kanya with UL Lord Mercury, which is also the 7H from Lagna. Transit Saturn was in Kanya at the time of marriage and, as stated above, Jupiter and Mars were also connected with the important parameters for marriage. AD rashi also receives argala from MD rashi from its 2H. The rules proposed are working in this chart.

Example 15 – Case 18: D.O.B.: March 21, 1972 at 5:25. Ahmadabad, India.

Marriage on: May 26, 1997.

Transit Saturn aspects AD Lord by its 3H aspect and MD Lord by its 10H aspect. Transit Jupiter aspects its natal position (UL and MD Lord) and transit Mars was in MD rashi at the time of the event.

So, readers must notice through this article that Jaimini System of Astrology is, in its own way, not only a support to the traditional Parashari System of Astrology, but with his peculiar approach has great autonomy on his own constituting an independent system. Other uses of pada of houses will be discussed in forthcoming articles, like timing of prosperity, buying and selling of property, child birth, pardesh gamana and career related issues.
