Introduction

Multiple marriages, repeated marital breakdowns, and instability in relationships are not accidental events in life.
According to Tamil classical astrology, such outcomes are deeply rooted in the Celebrity, the strictly Venus and Rahu, afflictions to the 7th house, and confirmation through Navamsha, Uppada, MCL, Trishamsha, and Dasha Category Charts.

 As per the classics  when Mars is connected to the 7th and the 2nd house then the Native first marriage breaks. When the MCL of the 7th house or the 7th Lord is connected to the 11th house then Multiple marriages take place. when 7th Lord is placed in trik Bhava specially connected to the 6th and he 8th Lord then it may also mean death of the Spouse or divorce .

 Here I am going to discuss the chart of the native who us now entering in a Third marriage after the Start of Rahu Dasha who is in afflicted motion and considered to be most malefic  for Marriage when specially Rahu and Ketu are placed in the 1/7 axis of the Lagna and the Moon

 The chart of the native is below.

 For Reasons best known I am not disclosing the Birth Details

1. Garbshishta Planets – Promise vs Fructification

As per Garbshishta principles, the overall promise of life itself is limited to only 50%, while the Actual Fructification is only 10% through Venus the Karka for Marriage.

• Ketu and Venus dominate the Garbshishta configuration.

• Such a condition results when the 7th house and the 7th Lord is afflicted by the Lords of the Trik Bhava.

  • Poor marital sustainability

  • Loss of harmony

  • Repeated breaks despite remarriage

This alone indicates acute challenges related to prosperity and marital stability throughout life. specially when Ketu Promises 50 % and Venus only 10 %  fructification which is a very low score for the Karka to give this kind of Fructifications

2. Rashi & Navamsha Confirmation of Weak Marriage Promise

Both Rashi and Navamsha charts confirm that:

• Venus, the marriage significator, is severely compromised in the Lagna as Karko Bhav Nashaya in the Navamsha  and connected to Trik Bhavas in the Rashi Chart

• Marriage promise is structurally weak, not merely delayed

• Even when marriage occurs, it lacks longevity and fulfillment

This is a classic case where marriage happens but cannot be sustained.

3. Rahu – The Upa-Karaka for Marriage

• In afflicted motion

• Placed in the star of Mars who is in turn in the 6th house with Venus the Karka and the 8th and the Lagna Lord

• Conjoined with Venus (Karaka)

Key observations:

• Rahu is placed in the Lagna

• Mars (7th lord for a male) is also placed in the 6th house— Break in Marriages

• Venus simultaneously becomes the 8th lord

• Mars as the 2nd and the 7th lord spoils the first marriage

This triple affliction creates:

• Legal disputes

• Separation

• Divorce

• Repeated marital disruptions

• Death of the spouse in cycles of 9 years  from the date of Marriage and specially in the Dasha of Mars

4. Male Horoscope Rule: 7th Lord Mars in the 6th House

For a male native, this is a well-established classical rule:

7th Lord in the 6th House = Loss of Marriage

Here:

• Mars (7th lord) in the 6th

• Afflicted by Rahu in Lagna along with Afflicted Ketu in the 7th house

• Mars the 7th Lord Connected to Venus (8th lord)

This combination inevitably leads to divorce or repeated marriage failures.

5. Ketu & Mercury – Bedroom Comfort & Emotional Disconnect

• Here Ketu is placed in its own star in the 7th house

• Mercury is at the MEP of Lagna, also in Ketu’s star

• Mercury as the 12th  Lord gives detachment and since afflicted no bedroom comforts

Result:

• Lack of emotional bonding

• Disturbed bedroom comfort

• Absence of intimacy

• Sudden breaks without reconciliation

6. Saturn–Ketu Affliction on the 7th House

• The 7th house (Aries) is afflicted by:

  • Strong 10th aspect of Saturn

This produces:

• Coldness

• Separation

• Denial of marital happiness

• Long-term karmic suffering in relationships

7. Navmasha Lagna & Karko Bhav Nashaya

In the Navamsha chart:

• Capricorn Lagna rises

• Lagna lord goes to the 12th house

• Lagna contains Mars, Venus, and Sun

Critical issue:

• Venus in Navamsha Lagna causes The price of tax

• Declination of Venus further worsens marital outcomes

Indications:

• Sudden breaks

• Untoward marital events

• Emotional and physical separation

8. 7th Lord of Navamsha with Ketu

• The 7th lord of Navamsha Moon is afflicted by Ketu

Since:

• Ketu already afflicts the 7th house of Rashi

• The Navamsha 7th lord moon governs marriage stability

This configuration directly produces repeated marriage failures.

9. MCL of the 7th House (Mid-Cusp Lord)

• Sun is the MCL of the 7th house

• Placed in the 8th house

• Ill-placed from the 7th house

• In its own star

• Also the 11th lord

Classical outcome:

• Multiple marriages

• Repeated alliances

• Relationships driven by desire rather than stability

10. Rahu–Ketu Axis & the Multiple-of-9 Rule

• Rahu in Libra

• Ketu in Aries

• Axis falls on 1/7 in Rashi

• And 4/10 in Navamsha

Tamil classics state:

Whenever Rahu–Ketu return to this axis in multiples of 9 years,
untoward marital events occur—especially in the Dashas of Ketu, Sun, or Mars.

11. Transit Trigger – 15 October 2023 The Dasha in the natal chart was Mars-Ketu-Rahu

On 15 October 2023, transits activated:

• Rahu–Ketu axis

• Afflicted Venus

• Mars and Saturn influences

This date proves explosive for marriage and spouse-related matters, confirming separation or major marital upheaval.

12. Mathematical Navamsha & Nakshatra Link

• Mathematical Navamsha Nakshatra Lord: Ashlesha

• In the birth chart:

  • Saturn is placed in Ashlesha

  • Saturn aspects Mercury the Lord of Ashlesha who is afflicted by Ketu since in Conjunction

This chain explains:

• Repeated breaks

• Untoward happenings

• Emotional suffocation

• Multiple marital failures

13. Dasha Varga of Running Mars (Predictions Section)

Here the Dasha Varga chart of the running Mars period will clearly demonstrate:

 Mars the 7th Lord is strong will give multiple marriages with Karka Venus who is the Lord of the 11th (Multiple marriages and also the Lord of 6th house

 Mercury again in the 7th house and afflicted in the Rashi Chart

• Timing of separations

• Legal or social disputes

• Sudden marital endings

• Confirmation of classical promises

Up Pada consideration

The Uppada Lord is placed in the 7th house and in the 8th from the 12th house hence taking it further by 8 houses we reach the 2nd House Scorpio the house of 2nd Marriage and the Lord in the 6th House with Lagna Lord

Conclusion

This horoscope demonstrates a textbook classical case where:

• Marriage exists only at a surface level

• The karmic promise itself is weak

• Repetition of marriages does not correct the core defect

• Tamil classics, when applied correctly, never fail in such diagnosis

Such charts demand awareness, restraint, and spiritual redirection, not remedies alone.
