Ketu and Marriage

Ketu and Marriage 

The 7th house is considered the house of marriage and partnerships, the position of planets in the 7th house in Kundli governs attraction for the opposite sex, desire to have a partner, sexual fantasies, commitment, passion and possessiveness.

The placement of Ketu destroys a marriage it’s a question that comes to mind, it may or may not destroy marriage. Ketu in the 7th house is an affliction and will do something unexpected or undesirable. Here we need to understand the word undesirable, as each one of us has different desires, so the conditions appearing in marital bliss may appear to be normal outside, but is quite undesirable for one of the partners.

Ketu gives many kinds of undesirability, on the good side it may give you a spouse who is overly dedicated to you, some people find it quite suffocating when one's spouse keeps on nagging about your well being, health, your matters at office, about your behaviour with others etc. It may also mean more than necessary issues in married life, which keeps your kind busy. Ketu is like a focal point that focuses your mind towards spirituality, or any particular topic, here in the 7th house, it may make marital issues the focal point of all your attention.

Ketu may also mean a partner who is spiritually inclined to the point of denying you conjugal bliss. It may also mean a spouse who is sick or ill. Ketu also separates, this could be because of your jobs, transfers which will separate you from your spouse. In an extreme case, it represents divorce or even the death of the spouse.

So you see, Ketu gives some kind of affliction to the 7th house even on the good side. Thus, it may or may not damage the marriage, but it definitely won't make it a normal one.

Ketu affects in 7TH house.

If Ketu is in 7th house then Rahu will be in the ascendant as we know both planets always stay opposite to each other. In this planetary combination, the native vacillates between two crucial decisions; to marry or not to marry.  Sometimes, he gets carried away with the thought of having a partner. Ketu’s intentions to pull him away from the thoughts or marriage would be against Rahu’s efforts to keep him hooked to a soul mate. Sometimes delay in marriage, a breakup with a fiancé and frustrations in the marital experience. Divorce is also seen if Ketu is not aspected by good planets.

If 7th placed Ketu native ties the knot with someone.  In that case, the antardasha and mahadasha of Ketu can create misunderstanding and disharmony, finally resulting in a breakup of marriage during their period. But the aspects are also to be examined before arriving at any conclusion about Ketu native.

The good influence of benefic planets and the zodiac ruler of Ketu posited in benefic houses would certainly give benefic results.

Weak Ketu puts the native under undue pressure due to marital disturbances.

Other factors are also important to reach any decisions like Venus and Jupiter’s position in the chart and their strength.

Manglik dosh is also important, as this is also an important factor in matters concerning marriage. We cannot ignore Manglik dosha,

Ascendant lord and 7th lords are powerful or not. D9 chart is strong or not for marriage.

These all factors are really important to make any decisions regarding marriage.

With the limitations of the words, So many points may be missing as every chart has its own planetary positions and strength of the planets so individual chart reading always needs.Everyone welcome for sharing their own views.
