Facets of Marriage & 7th House ‘jyotishaam suryaadi grahanam bodhaka shastram’

The knowledge and effect of planets is what jyotisha shastra is all about.

If plantes are forces then houses are the fields are the fields for those forces to operate upon.

Each part of the zodiac is a solar mansion better called as sign or raashi. All the 12 rashis are classified in 4 groups or triplicities according to 4 elements-

Fire element corresponds with spiritual processes in man.

Earth element correspond with physical processes.

Air element corresponds with mental processes.

Water element corresponds with psychic processes.

Libra the 7th house of the zodiac, is an airy, odd, positive and masculine sign and thus tends to be more expressive and not passive in reaction. Libra also shows commencement of southern hemisphere. It is also equinoctial sign. The end of virgo and beginning of libra cause day and night equal all over the world. This phenomenon occurs twice in a year. When Sun shifts to aries and when Sun shifts to libra.

We know aries is lagna in kaalpurusha horoscope and natural 7th house is libra. When aries denotes fire element we know that birth is a spiritual phenomenon and embodiment of the soul. The 7th hose libra is having air element and is thus connect with mental phenomenon.

Thus natural 7th house libra 7th lord Venus have a say in marital matter and rather all matter denotes by 7th house.

As all of us know that 7th house from any house is the completion house for that very house. When we say ascendant is the physical self, the embodiment of the soul, it is very natural to assume that 7th is the house of physical union. So, rightly we connect marriage with 7th house. More so, the sense of completeness is justified when ‘shatpatha brahamana’ say.’ One is incomplete without having a wife and a son’.

About 7th house and it’s linkage with marriage has been discussed in our texts like mantres ‘were has described in chapter 10 of Phaladeepika, parashara has described about 7th house and marriage in chapter 18 of Brihat parashara hora shastra’ and many a number of texts like jataka sara dipa, Sanketa nidhi, Saravali etc. Have discussed the 7th house, 7th lord and Venus’s placement and effects in all houses and how Venus and 7th lord behaves regarding marriage and also the dual lordship of 7th house lord and it’s mitigated effects regarding marital matters.

Even sage jaimini, has called the 7th house pada or arudha as ‘dara pada’ (when dara stands to denote the spouse.) Also in char karakas the 7th karakas with least longitude is called as dara karaka which is identical with the 7th house lord while predicting marital matters through jaimini system. Also in jaimini astrology, 7th house fro lagna, pada lagna, dara pada, karkamsa lagna, dara-karaka etc. Are considered to predict about the physical health, beauty and intellect of the spouse, and to know the quality and life of marriage life. This thing justifies that 7th house holds primary importance in marital matters.

Now, the point arises here why do we consider only 7th house for marital matters when we know that ‘kaama triplicity’ houses are 3,7,11 houses and in kaalpurush horoscope, 3, 7, 11 signs i.e. Gemini, libra, aquarius are air signs and air signs are connected with mind and mental experiences. 7th is most important house of kaama trikone there are two reason for this.

As 7th is a Kendra house and thus shows more practicality of affairs. That is how, practical relationship and involvements are seen through 7th house.

7th house has a lot more to say and we can better understand it by the concept of purusha and prakriti. As in Hindu philosophy of life, the process of manifestation of ethereal soul into material body is caused by the interaction between purusha and prakriti. Astrologically saying, lagna shows purusha shakti, and 7th denotes prakriti. If lagna is the vital force then 7th is dissipation of the same. If lagna is the physical media, 7th has to indicate the physical union and the purpose is procreation.

In Indian classical thoughts, marriage was deemed not as a mere compromise for setting up a new family, but it was one of the main steps in ‘shodasha samskaras’. The need and purpose of marriage in india has been different and special and it’s profundity was acknowledged with distnict spiritual attributies. Manusmriti also gave three purpose of marriage.

1.Performing religious ritual

2.Having male progenies

3.Gratification of carnal urges.

It is noteworthy here that religious ritual have been accorded first place and sexual gratification comes last in importance. The reproduction purpose in marriage was a must in ancient india. Only after attaining a son, one is deemed qualified for attainment of emancipation (liberated soul).

In another reference in a mantra of Atharvaveda, te groom tells his wife, ‘I have married you with the sole desire to have virtuous progenies. Let us work together in this direction and live for hundred years.’ this confirm how procreation part had been taken as essential aspect in marriage.
