Here are some common astrological factors believed to cause delays in marriage:
1.Saturn (Shani) :
– Saturn is known for causing delays and obstacles. If Saturn is placed in the 7th house (house of marriage) or aspects the 7th house, it can lead to delays in marriage. Similarly, if Saturn is associated with the 7th house lord, it may postpone marriage.
2. Rahu and Ketu :
– The presence of Rahu or Ketu in the 7th house or their influence on the 7th house lord can lead to unconventional or delayed marriages.
3. Afflicted 7th House or 7th House Lord :
– The 7th house in the natal chart governs marriage. If this house or its ruling planet is afflicted by malefic planets (like Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu), it can result in delays or obstacles in getting married.
4 Malefic Aspects on Venus :
– Venus is the significator of love and marriage. If Venus is afflicted by malefic planets or is debilitated, it can cause delays in marriage. For men, the condition of Venus is particularly important.
5. Mars (Mangal) :
– Mars in the 7th house or in the 8th house is traditionally considered problematic (Manglik Dosha). While it does not always cause delays, it can create marital disharmony if not matched properly.
6. Unfavorable Dasha Periods :
– The planetary periods (dashas) and sub-periods (antardashas) play a significant role. If a person is running a dasha of malefic planets, it may not be a favorable time for marriage.
7. Jupiter’s Influence :
– Jupiter is the significator of husband in a female’s chart. If Jupiter is weak, retrograde, or afflicted, it can delay marriage for women.
8. Combination of Planets :
– Sometimes, specific combinations or yoga in the chart can indicate delays. For example, a combination of Saturn and Moon (Vish Yoga) or the presence of Kalasarpa Yoga can also lead to delays.
9. Navamsa Chart :
– The Navamsa chart (D-9) is particularly analyzed for marriage-related matters. If the 7th house or 7th house lord in the Navamsa chart is afflicted, it can indicate delays in marriage.
It’s important to note that while these factors can indicate potential delays.
