Explanation: The rule name SaturnIn7thNotLagnaLord indicates that Saturn placed in the 7th house is a challenging indication for marriage when it does not own the ascendant (or 7th). Option A states exactly this. B overclaims by guaranteeing divorce; C inverts the condition by dropping the ownership exception.


Saturn occupies the seventh house, the house of marriage

Saturn in the seventh is not wholly beneficial; classical treatment acknowledges both stabilizing and restrictive effects.

Saturn in the seventh does not necessarily end a marriage; it indicates delay, seriousness, or coldness at most.

Explanation: The chart fact /placements/Saturn/house = 7 confirms Saturn in the seventh. Statement A correctly reflects the standard mixed reading (stability with emotional coldness); B overclaims benefit; C overclaims a deterministic negative outcome. Conclusion follows the polarity of applicable statement A: mixed.


Explanation: The rule SaturnIn7thNotLagnaLord indicates that Saturn placed in the seventh house, when it is not the lord of the ascendant (and per option A's phrasing, neither of ascendant nor seventh), is read as a challenging indication for marital happiness. Option A restates this correctly. Option B overclaims by asserting a guaranteed divorce, which no such rule establishes. Option C contradicts the rule's own condition, since the exception/qualification depends on Saturn NOT ruling those houses; if it did rule them, the rule would not apply as stated.


Saturn occupies the seventh house, the house of marriage, indicating a mixed influence: potential stability tempered by coldness or delay.

Saturn in the seventh is not wholly beneficial; classical treatment views it as mixed (stability with emotional distance/delay).

Saturn in the seventh does not necessarily end a marriage; it is a mixed indication, not a categorical one.

Explanation: The chart shows Saturn in the seventh house (/placements/Saturn/house). Statement A correctly reflects the standard doctrinal reading of this placement as mixed—stability alongside emotional coldness or delay. Statements B and C overclaim in opposite directions and are not established.


Saturn occupies the seventh house, a classic challenging indication for marital happiness when it does not rule the ascendant or the seventh.

The exception (which requires Saturn to rule lagna or the seventh) cannot apply: Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius, i.e. houses 10 and 11, not houses 1 or 7.

Mitigating context: Saturn is exalted in Libra in the seventh, forming Sasa Yoga; this softens but does not negate the rule-based challenge.

Saturn in the seventh never guarantees divorce; classical doctrine treats it as an affliction to be judged with dignity, aspects, and dasha context. Here Saturn is even exalted forming Sasa Yoga.

The exception explicitly requires Saturn to rule the ascendant or the seventh; here it rules houses 10 and 11 only, so the exception does not apply.

Explanation: Statement A is established: natal Saturn sits in house 7 (/placements/Saturn/house) while ruling Capricorn and Aquarius — houses 10 and 11 (/houses/9/lord,/houses/10/lord), neither the ascendant (Aries) nor the seventh (Libra). Hence the exception fails and A's rule applies as a challenging indication. B is an overclaim contradicted by Saturn's exaltation and Sasa Yoga; C misstates the exception's condition.


Saturn is placed in the seventh house (Libra) and rules neither the ascendant nor the seventh house, so the stated rule classifies it as a challenging indication for marital happiness.

Saturn in the seventh does not categorically guarantee divorce; exaltation in Libra with Sasa Yoga shows strength and dignity rather than a fixed negative outcome.

Saturn's placement in the seventh indicates challenge to marital harmony per the rule, but no chart factor guarantees divorce.

The challenging reading applies precisely because Saturn rules neither the ascendant nor the seventh; there is no exception when this condition holds.

Explanation: Saturn occupies the natal 7th (/placements/Saturn/house) while Mars rules the lagna (/lagna/lord) and Venus rules the 7th (/houses/7/lord); since Saturn rules neither, option A's rule applies and yields a challenging indication for marriage. Option B is an unsupported absolute claim, and option C reverses the rule's condition. Mitigating context: Saturn is exalted in its own sign of exaltation forming Sasa Yoga (/placements/Saturn/dignity,/yogas), so difficulty, delay, or seriousness in marriage is indicated rather than categorical failure.

Explanation: The rule name 'SaturnIn7thNotLagnaLord' indicates that Saturn placed in the seventh house, when it is not the lord of the ascendant (lagna), is treated as a challenging indication for marriage. Option A restates this correctly (adding the seventh-lord exclusion, consistent with the rule's intent). Option B overclaims by asserting a guaranteed divorce, which no such rule establishes. Option C inverts the rule's condition — the exception applies only when Saturn does rule the lagna or seventh, not when it rules neither.


Saturn occupies the seventh house, the house of marriage, indicating a mixed influence: stability and endurance may coexist with delay or emotional coldness.

Saturn in the seventh is not wholly beneficial; classical treatment views it as a mixed malefic-benefic influence on marriage.

Explanation: The chart fact /placements/Saturn/house = 7 confirms Saturn in the seventh house. Statement A correctly captures the traditional mixed reading (stability with coldness/delay), so it is selected. B overclaims benefit and C overclaims dissolution; both are rejected. The conclusion polarity follows the applicable statement A: mixed.

}
```


Mars and Venus are conjunct in the 7th house (Libra), the classical passionate-partnership combination; Venus is in own sign and forms Malavya Yoga, while Ketu also aspects the 7th, tempering but not nullifying it.

The conjunction is a Raja/Dhana yoga pairing 1st and 7th lords in the 7th — supportive of partnership, but no guarantee of compatibility.

Mars is not alone in the 7th; Venus occupies the same house.

No rule guarantees compatibility; Mars-Venus in the 7th is only an indication of strong passion, with Ketu's aspect on the 7th adding complexity to marital harmony.

Explanation: Statement A applies: /placements/Mars/house = 7 and /placements/Venus/house = 7 show Mars-Venus together in the 7th, traditionally read as strong passion in partnership. B fails because Mars is not alone (/houses/6/occupants includes both). C fails as an overclaim — the yoga supports partnership strength (Malavya Yoga, /vargas/D9/placements Venus in Aries 11) but cannot guarantee compatibility. Hence conclusion polarity of applicable statements: mixed.


Jupiter occupies the natal 7th house (Leo), which the stated rule treats as supporting a considerate spouse and gains through marriage.

Jupiter is in a friend's sign with benefic status, reinforcing its capacity to act supportively in the 7th.

The 7th house is simultaneously aspected by Saturn and Ketu, tempering — but not negating — the supportive indication of Jupiter's placement.

Jupiter in the seventh is classically a benefic placement for marriage, not a primary indication of marital conflict.

No single placement 'guarantees' a perfect spouse; Jupiter's presence is supportive at most, and Saturn/Ketu aspects on the 7th qualify it.

Explanation: Statement A is directly established by the chart facts (/placements/Jupiter/house = 7). Statements B and C are doctrinally wrong or overclaimed, so they are not selected. With only statement A applicable and supportive, the conclusion polarity is supportive.

Mars in the seventh is traditionally read as an indication of friction or clashes in married life (Kuja/Mangal consideration)

Mars actually occupies the 7th house in Taurus, not the 8th

Mars in the 7th is classically treated as a source of tension/clashes in marriage (Mangal dosha consideration), not as unambiguously harmonious. S2 directly reverses the accepted reading.

Mars occupies house 7 (Taurus, Rohini), not house 8. House 8 holds Jupiter and Ketu.

Explanation: S1 is accurate: Mars sits in the natal 7th (/placements/Mars/house), which tradition reads as an indicator of marital friction. S2 is a doctrinal reversal of that reading. S3 is factually wrong about Mars's house placement.


The Sun in the 7th house is at most an indication of delay, friction or a strong-willed spouse in classical doctrine; it never 'guarantees' that marriage never occurs. Here the Sun is exalted (/placements/Sun/dignity: Exalted), which substantially softens the indication.

The Sun occupies the 7th house (Aries), not the 8th; it is exalted there and aspects the lagna.

Explanation: S1 is doctrinally acceptable as stated. S2 overstates the classical reading into an absolute guarantee contradicted by the exalted status of the Sun. S3 misreports the Sun's house placement.

}

The Sun is placed in the natal 7th house in Aries, exalted, and the 7th lord Mars sits in the 4th aspecting the 7th — a mixed indication for marriage (classical texts flag Sun in the 7th as challenging for marital harmony/delay, but exaltation and Mars's own-sign rulership mitigate)

No error — S1 is accurate: the Sun does occupy house 7 (/placements/Sun/house = 7), and Sun in the 7th of marriage is traditionally read as a challenging factor (delay/friction), though here it is exalted in Aries, which softens the indication.

The claim that Sun in the 7th 'guarantees marriage never occurs' is an overclaim. Classical doctrine treats Sun in the 7th as an affliction indicating delay, ego-conflict or difficulty in marriage — not absolute denial of marriage. Here the Sun is exalted (/placements/Sun/dignity = Exalted) and the 7th lord Mars is exalted in a kendra (/placements/Mars/house = 4, /yogas Ruchaka Yoga), which are strong mitigating supports for marriage occurring.

Incorrect. The Sun occupies house 7 (Aries, 13°04'), not house 8. House 8 contains Mercury, Venus and Ketu.

Explanation: Audit result: S1 is correct as stated; S2 is an overclaim (affliction ≠ denial of marriage, with strong mitigations from exalted Sun and exalted 7th-lord Mars forming Ruchaka Yoga); S3 is factually wrong about house placement (Sun is in the 7th, not the 8th).


7th lord Mercury is placed in the 8th house and in an enemy sign (Cancer), weakening the karaka house of partnership and tying marriage to 8th-house themes of turbulence, secrecy, and sudden change

The 7th house itself is occupied by Sun and Mars — Sun neutral, Mars in enemy sign and combust — indicating heat, conflict, and ego friction within the marital sphere

Mars aspects the 1st house (self) from the 7th, and Ketu also aspects the 7th, adding detachment or severing tendencies toward partnership

A strong Raja Yoga exists between Jupiter (lagna lord) and Mercury (7th lord / 10th lord) by mutual aspect, which supports eventual stability and dignity through partnership

Venus, the natural karaka of marriage, is a benefic placed in the trikona 5th house with Rahu; its placement in a trine is favorable though Rahu's conjunction introduces unconventional or amplifying influences on romance

Navamsa lagna is Leo with Moon and Mercury in D9 lagna; Venus sits in Sagittarius in D9's 5th dispositor-linked to Jupiter — inner strength for relationship matters is moderate-to-good, but Mars falls into the D9 8th house, echoing marital discord at depth

Current Ketu mahadasha with Mercury antardasha (to 2026-07-29): Ketu aspects the 7th natally and Mercury is the afflicted 7th lord, so this window is unlikely to favor marriage formation

Upcoming Venus mahadasha from 2026-07-29 places the marriage karaka in charge for 20 years; Venus–Venus (2026-2029) and Venus–Sun are early sub-periods where marriage indications activate, aided by transiting Jupiter currently conjunct natal Sun-Mars in the 7th house

The presence of malefics in the 7th does not by itself deny marriage; it indicates friction that the Jupiter–Mercury Raja Yoga partially compensates. Both must be weighed together.

Exact timing of any past relationship/marriage history to calibrate dasha activation

Upapada lagna (Jaimini) not provided in chart facts

D9 7th-house occupants' full aspect analysis beyond placements listed

Explanation: Marriage indications are genuinely two-sided: the 7th house carries Sun-Mars with combust, enemy-sign Mars, the 7th lord Mercury falls in the 8th in enemy sign, and Ketu aspects the 7th — all pointing to conflict, delay, or turbulence. Against this stand a genuine Jupiter–Mercury Raja Yoga linking self and partnership, benefic Venus (marriage karaka) in the 5th trine, a serviceable Navamsa, and a forward-looking Venus mahadasha beginning July 2026 whose early antardashas coincide with Jupiter transiting the natal 7th. Net reading: mixed — marriage is indicated but likely with friction or delay, with the Venus–Venus and Venus–Sun periods (2026–2030) as the most supportive windows. Astrological indication only; no outcome is certain.


7th lord Mercury is placed in the 8th house, linking marriage to the dusthana of sudden events and transformation

Sun and Mars occupy the 7th house itself; Mars there is combust and in enemy sign, indicating friction and dominance themes in partnership

Mars aspects the lagna (and via 8th aspect house 2), giving a Mangal-influenced flavor to self and family matters

Raja yoga between Mercury (lord 7) and Jupiter (lord 1) through mutual aspect — a strong supportive signature for marriage despite Mercury's placement

Jupiter (lagna lord and karaka for dharmic union) sits debilitated and retrograde in the 2nd (family), but retrogression plus raja-yoga status partially redeems it

Venus (natural karaka of marriage) at 29°12' Aries in the 5th, neutral dignity, late degree — functional but weakly placed, aspecting the 11th of fulfilment of desire

Ketu aspects the 7th house, adding detachment or karmic coloring to partnerships

D9: Venus in Sagittarius in 5th with Jupiter dispositor; Moon+Mercury in D9 lagna Leo — inner strength for relationship present but D9 Mars in 8th echoes marital turbulence

Current dasha Ketu–Mercury (until 2026-07-29): Ketu aspects natal 7th and Mercury is the 7th lord — an active period for relationship matters, colored by Ketu's detachment; upcoming Venus mahadasha from 2026-07-29 strongly activates marriage significations (Venus is karaka, in 5th of romance)

Transit Jupiter (as of 2026-01-01) is retrograde in natal 7th conjunct natal Sun and Mars — activating the 7th house directly during this window

Natal Moon debilitated in Scorpio in 12th, though forming Vipareeta Raja Yoga — emotional undercurrents affect intimacy but convert to resilience

The combust Mars in the 7th suggests marital friction, yet the Mercury–Jupiter mutual-aspect raja yoga involving the 7th lord indicates eventual stability — these are reconciled by reading early turbulence maturing into a dharmic bond rather than outright denial of marriage.

A synthesis should weigh the upcoming Venus mahadasha (2026 onwards) as the strongest timing factor for marriage-related developments; Venus is both karaka and 5th-house occupant.

Navamsa lagna lord strength details beyond provided D9 placements

Exact birth-time rectification confirmation for fine-grained D9 accuracy

Explanation: The chart shows a genuinely mixed marriage picture. The 7th is heavily tenanted (Sun + combust Mars) with Ketu's aspect, and its lord Mercury falls in the 8th — classic indicators of friction, delays, or a transformative/karmic partner. However, multiple mitigating structures exist: the Mercury–Jupiter mutual-aspect raja yogas bind the 1st and 7th lords, Venus as karaka occupies the romantic 5th aspecting the 11th, and D9 shows Moon-Mercury in its own lagna. Timing-wise, Ketu–Mercury dasha (now) keeps relationship themes active under a detached tone, while the Venus mahadasha beginning July 2026 is the most supportive long window for marriage or significant deepening of partnership, further activated by transit Jupiter currently moving through the natal 7th.


7th house is Libra, its own sign of the 7th lord Venus; Venus is placed in the 1st house (lagna), so the karaka and 7th lord are strong and connected to self — a spouse-oriented, partnership-focused life

Saturn is exalted (Sasa Mahapurusha Yoga) in the 7th house, giving a serious, loyal, dutiful approach to partnership and a mature/older or responsible spouse

Saturn is retrograde in the 7th and casts graha drishti onto the lagna (/aspects/Saturn → house 1); Saturnian delay, caution, or a reserved emotional tone in marriage is indicated despite exaltation

Venus aspects its own 7th house from the lagna, strengthening the marriage house further

In D9, Venus (karaka of marriage) is debilitated in Virgo with the Moon in the 11th; the inner strength of the marriage karaka is weakened, indicating dissatisfaction or criticality toward the partner despite outer stability

D9 shows Sun conjunct Rahu in the D9 7th house, suggesting ego/foreign/unconventional elements entering the marriage dynamic

Ketu aspects the 7th house (/aspects/Ketu → house 7) and Ketu sits with Mars/Mercury in the 3rd aspecting it; a detached or dispassionate undercurrent toward partnership

Currently running Saturn–Saturn dasha with Saturn as the 7th occupant; Saturn periods typically consolidate, formalize, or weigh on marital matters rather than disrupt them abruptly

Exalted Saturn in the 7th should not be read purely negatively: as a kendra-based Sasa Yoga it is a strength for commitment; its challenges are temperamental (delay, coldness), not structural instability

Explanation: Rasi-level indications are strongly supportive: 7th lord Venus in lagna aspecting its own 7th, plus exalted Saturn forming Sasa Yoga in the 7th — stable, committed partnership with a mature spouse. However, three moderating factors keep this 'mixed': retrograde Saturn delays and cools emotional expression; Ketu's aspect on the 7th adds detachment; and in D9 the marriage karaka Venus is debilitated while Sun–Rahu occupy the D9 7th, indicating inner dissatisfaction, criticism, or unconventional elements beneath an outwardly solid marriage. Overall: durable marriage requiring conscious warmth; not fragile, but not effortless.


7th lord Venus is placed in the 1st house and aspects its own 7th house, a strong protective placement for partnership matters

Saturn is exalted in the 7th house forming Sasa Mahapurusha Yoga in a kendra, indicating a serious, enduring, duty-bound marriage despite delays

Saturn in the 7th is retrograde and Saturn aspects the lagna, adding weight, delay or age-gap themes to union

D9 shows Venus debilitated in Virgo in the 11th with the Moon, weakening the karaka of marriage at the level of inner/spousal experience

D9 7th house holds Sun conjunct Rahu in Taurus, indicating ego/Rahu-type disturbances around spouse or public partnership image

Ketu sits on the D9 lagna with Mercury, suggesting detachment or spiritualized orientation within the marital self

Current dasha is Saturn–Saturn (2024-12 to 2027-12); Saturn is both 7th occupant/exalted and dasha lord, so marriage-related matters are strongly activated in this period

Natal Ketu aspects the 7th house from the 3rd, adding a mild severance/renunciate undertone alongside Saturn's stabilizing presence

A reading citing only exalted Saturn in the 7th would overstate harmony; the debilitated D9 Venus and Rahu in the D9 7th must be weighed against it.

Explanation: The rasi chart is strong for marriage structurally: 7th lord Venus in lagna aspecting its own house (/placements/Venus/house, /aspects/Venus) and an exalted retrograde Saturn in the 7th forming Sasa Yoga (/yogas/1). This promises a durable, committed union, likely after some delay given Saturn's retrogradation and its aspect on the lagna (/placements/Saturn/retrograde). However, divisional evidence tempers this: Venus is debilitated in the D9 (/vargas/D9/placements/5), and the D9 7th carries Sun–Rahu (/vargas/D9/placements/0,/vargas/D9/placements/7), pointing to friction between outer commitment and inner spousal satisfaction, plus ego/independence issues. The current Saturn mahadasha activates the 7th-house axis through 2027 (/dasha/current/mahadasha). Overall: mixed-to-supportive — stable, long-lasting partnership indicated, with delayed onset and periodic emotional detachment or status-related tension requiring conscious effort.

Navamsa — spouse, dharma, and the inner strength of every graha


Explanation: The VedAstro rule House2LordInHouse9 describes the 2nd lord placed in the 9th as giving mixed health results over time — weaker health in early life improving later. It is a general health-strength indication, not a diagnosis of any specific illness, so B and C are incorrect.


Explanation: The VedAstro rule House2LordInHouse9 describes the second lord in the ninth as giving mixed health outcomes that improve with time—poorer health in early life and better health later. It is a general strength/quality indication, not a diagnosis of any specific illness. Hence A matches; B (uniformly poor) and C (specific illness) are not established by the rule.

```


7th house of marriage is occupied by the Moon, a benefic, indicating a caring, emotionally present partnership significator in the marriage house itself

7th lord Jupiter is exalted in the 11th house of gains and casts its aspect onto the 7th house, a strong classical indicator of a dignified spouse and gains through partnership

Navamsa lagna is Pisces with Venus (karaka of marriage) and Moon placed together in its 5th house, supporting affection and emotional fulfilment in union

In the Navamsa, Jupiter (the 7th lord of rasi chart) sits in the 6th house with the Sun, weakening the inner strength of the primary marriage lord and suggesting friction or service-related strain within the union

Transiting Saturn is currently conjunct natal Moon in the 7th house and this is also sade sati (Saturn 1st from Moon), indicating a period of heaviness, delay, or testing in relationship/emotional matters

Rahu sits in the natal 4th house aspected by Ketu's dispositional network into domestic houses, while Ketu occupies the 10th — some detachment themes color home/partnership balance, though not directly afflicting the 7th

Current Mahadasha lord Moon occupies the 7th house, so the running period activates the marriage house itself, making relationship matters prominent now through 2034

Venus condition relative to 7th-lord strength in D9 beyond placement (e.g., nakshatra-level detail)

Specific timing question from the native (whether assessing current marriage, prospects, or a specific event date)

Upapada lagna / Jaimini marriage indicators, not provided in facts

Explanation: The rasi chart is fundamentally strong for marriage: benefic Moon in the 7th (/placements/Moon/house), an exalted 7th lord Jupiter aspecting its own house from the 11th (/placements/Jupiter), and Venus well-placed in the Navamsa 5th. However, the same Jupiter falls to the D9 6th house with the Sun (/vargas/D9/placements/4), tempering inner marital harmony, and transiting Saturn currently sits on the natal Moon in the 7th during sade sati (/transits/saturnFromMoon = 1), signalling present-day pressure, delay, or emotional testing. The verdict is therefore mixed: sound underlying promise for marriage, with current-period strain requiring patience rather than indicating an adverse outcome.


The 7th house of marriage (Pisces) is occupied by the Moon, a benefic placed in the 7th itself, which supports partnership and public dealings.

The 7th lord Jupiter is exalted in the natal chart (Cancer), a strong dignity for the karaka of marriage among the natural benefics.

Jupiter, as 7th lord, casts its full aspect onto its own 7th house, protecting and strengthening the marriage significations.

Jupiter is retrograde at birth, which many traditions read as adding hesitation, delay, or internal reworking to the matters it governs, including marriage.

In the D9 (Navamsa), Venus and Moon sit together in the 5th with Rahu, while the D9 7th house (Virgo) is unoccupied — affection and romance are supported, but the spouse-house itself carries no benefic anchor there.

Transiting Saturn currently sits in Pisces conjunct the natal Moon in the 7th house, and gochara reckoning shows Saturn 1st from the Moon (sade sati onset), a classic pressure period on emotional life and partnership matters.

Current dasha is Moon–Mars–Saturn (as of early 2026): the Moon sits in the 7th natally (marriage-relevant), while Mars is a dusthana occupant (6th) whose aspect falls on the 1st rather than supporting the 7th, so the running periods give a blended, not clearly favorable, signal.

Exact marriage-related timing would require checking specific antardasha/pratyantardasha windows against the 2nd, 7th and 11th houses; no target date was supplied for the question.

Upapada lagna or Jaimini marriage indicators are not present in the chart facts.

Whether the native is unmarried, married, or seeking remarriage — the question's intent is not stated.

Explanation: Marriage indications are genuinely two-sided. On the positive side, the 7th house holds a benefic Moon (/placements/Moon/house), its lord Jupiter is exalted (/placements/Jupiter/dignity) and aspects its own 7th (/aspects/Jupiter), and Budha-Aditya plus the Mercury raja yoga lend overall chart strength. Against this, Jupiter's retrogression adds delay/hesitation, the D9 shows Venus-Moon-Rahu clustered away from an empty D9 7th (/vargas/D9/placements), transit Saturn now conjoins the natal Moon in the 7th with sade sati beginning (/transits/Saturn/conjunctNatal, /transits/saturnFromMoon), and the current Moon–Mars dasha mixes a 7th-house Moon with a 6th-house Mars (/dasha/current). The doctrine represented here supports 'mixed': strong underlying marriage yoga, currently under visible pressure, without grounds for either a firm endorsement or a denial.


7th house of marriage is occupied by the Moon, a benefic, indicating a spouse/partnership presence in the chart

7th lord Jupiter is exalted and placed in the 11th house of gains, a strong dignity for the karaka/significator of marriage

Exalted Jupiter aspects the 7th house from the 11th, protecting partnership matters

Jupiter, the 7th lord, is retrograde natally, which many traditions read as delay, reversal, or reconsideration in the significations it governs

D9 (Navamsa) lagna is Pisces with Venus (marriage karaka) in the 5th disposited by the Moon — reasonably supportive for marital sentiment, though Venus sits with Rahu in the 5th, adding intensity/unconventionality to romance

Transiting Saturn sits in the natal 7th conjunct natal Moon, and gochara reckoning shows Saturn 1st from the Moon (sade sati onset), a classically taxing period for emotional life and partnerships

Current period is Moon–Mars–Saturn; Mars is 2nd-lord-for-family and also 8th lord sitting in the 6th (Vipareeta Raja Yoga), while Saturn's pratyantardasha coincides with Saturn transiting the 7th — a pressured stretch rather than an easy one for marital matters

Upcoming Moon–Rahu antardasha (from May 2026) runs a node that aspects the 10th/12th axis natally and currently conjoins natal Mars in the 6th — relationship friction indicators should be watched, not asserted

An exalted 7th lord does not by itself guarantee a happy or intact marriage; it must be weighed against the retrogression of Jupiter, the D9 placement, and current dasha/transit pressure.

Any assessment ignoring the D9 chart would be incomplete, since Navamsa specifically governs spouse and marital dharma.

Exact timing/context of the specific marriage question (marriage, discord, reconciliation) — the case does not state which is being asked

Whether the subject is already married (birth data alone does not establish marital status)

Upapada Lagna / Jaimini marriage references are not present in the facts

Explanation: The chart shows genuinely strong marriage fundamentals: a benefic Moon in the 7th (/placements/Moon/house), an exalted 7th lord Jupiter aspecting its own house (/placements/Jupiter/dignity, /aspects/Jupiter). These are offset by Jupiter's retrogression (/placements/Jupiter/retrograde), a mixed D9 where Venus shares the 5th with Rahu (/vargas/D9/placements), and a live period of pressure — transiting Saturn on the natal Moon in the 7th at sade sati onset (/transits/Saturn/inNatalHouse, /transits/saturnFromMoon) under a Moon–Mars–Saturn dasha (/dasha/current). The represented doctrine supports 'mixed' with moderate confidence: strong promise under present strain, without grounds to assert either marital success or failure as certain.


The second lord Venus occupies the ninth house, matching the rule's premise of a mixed long-term indication for health.

The chart carries additional afflictions relevant to vitality (four grahas in the 8th house including debilitated Rahu and combust Saturn), which is consistent with a 'weaker early' reading rather than uniformly poor health.

Exalted Moon in the 2nd with Gaja Kesari Yoga supports improving strength later in life, consistent with the 'better later' clause.

A single placement does not indicate uniformly poor health throughout life; the rule itself treats it as mixed over time.

This rule gives a general health tendency only; it cannot diagnose any specific illness.

Explanation: Statement A matches the rule's actual claim (second lord in the ninth → mixed: weaker early, better later), and the chart confirms the premise via /placements/Venus/house=9 and /houses/1/lordPlacedInHouse=9. Statements B and C overstate what the rule establishes. Since only A applies and its polarity is mixed, the conclusion is set to mixed.


The second lord Venus is placed in the ninth house, matching the rule's condition.

Venus is a natural benefic and the 2nd house receives multiple benefic yogas (Adhi Yoga), which supports the 'better later' reading rather than uniformly poor health.

Rules of planetary placement indicate general tendencies, not diagnoses; statement C is not established.

Statement B ('uniformly poor health throughout life') overstates the rule; nothing in the chart facts supports lifelong poor health from 2nd-lord-in-9th alone.

Explanation: The chart satisfies the rule's premise: Venus, lord of the Taurus 2nd (/houses/2/lordPlacedInHouse), sits in the 9th (/placements/Venus/house). The traditional reading of this placement for vitality is mixed — early-life strain improving with maturity — so A applies. B's absolute claim contradicts both the mixed framing and the chart's strong benefic support (exalted Moon in 2nd /placements/Moon/dignity; Adhi Yoga). C is doctrinally invalid since such rules describe tendencies, not specific illness diagnoses.


Explanation: The chart fact /houses/1/lordPlacedInHouse=11 confirms the second lord (Mercury) is in the eleventh house. However, none of the listed statements is established: A asserts a challenging childhood-health rule that is not part of any stated doctrine, B makes an absolute guarantee (overclaim), and C claims strong childhood vitality from a placement with no such doctrinal basis. Therefore only D applies.


Explanation: In this chart the second lord is Venus, placed in the ninth house (Sagittarius) per /placements/Venus/house and /placements/Venus/sign. Statements A and B attribute specific temporal health outcomes ('weaker early / better later' vs 'uniformly poor throughout life') to the placement of the second lord in the ninth. No such classical Parashari rule is established — second-lord placement primarily concerns wealth, family and speech significations (/houses/2/significations), not a determinate lifelong or time-phased health verdict. Statement C is doctrinally incorrect on its face: jyotish rules indicate tendencies and do not diagnose specific illnesses. Therefore none of A–C is established by the stated rule and chart, so D applies. Health assessment here would instead rest on factors like the heavily occupied eighth house (/houses/8/occupants: Sun, Mercury combust, Saturn combust, Rahu debilitated) and lagna lord Mars in the seventh (/lagna/lordInHouse), but these are general indications requiring proportionate uncertainty, not diagnoses.


Explanation: The chart facts show the 2nd lord (Mercury) placed in the 11th house (/houses/1/lordPlacedInHouse = 11). No stated rule links this placement to childhood health outcomes, so statements A-C are not established by the given rule and chart; D applies.


The second house lord (Mercury) is placed in the eleventh house.

Second lord in the eleventh is not a recognized rule for challenging childhood health; it is classically read as a wealth/gain indication.

Second lord in the eleventh is not a standard challenging childhood-health rule; classical Jyotish treats this as a dhana/labha (gains) placement.

No placement guarantees lifelong illness; this is an absolute claim unsupported by any stated rule or chart fact.

A single placement cannot by itself establish strong childhood vitality; vitality assessment requires lagna, lagna lord, Moon, and 6th/8th house condition.

Sixth and eighth house lords and occupants

Any stated rule text defining second-lord-in-eleventh as a health indicator

Explanation: Chart facts show only that the second lord (Mercury) sits in the eleventh (/houses/1/lordPlacedInHouse). Statements A-C each fail: A misstates doctrine (this is a gains placement, not a childhood-health affliction rule), B is an unsupported guarantee, and C overclaims vitality from a single factor. Therefore none of A-C is established, option D applies, and no health polarity can be concluded from the given facts.


Jupiter, lord of the 12th, occupies the 6th house — a Vipareeta Raja Yoga (one dusthana lord fallen into another), traditionally treated as supportive of resilience rather than as a vitality weakness

The yoga does not confer guaranteed immunity from illness; the 6th remains a dusthana of disease and its lord Mercury sits in the 2nd, while transiting Rahu aspects the natal 6th

No chart or rule guarantees freedom from illness; Vipareeta Raja Yoga at most indicates resilience through adversity, not immunity.

A dusthana lord in another dusthana is read as Vipareeta Raja Yoga (a strength), not necessarily a weak-vitality indication.

Statement A is established by the chart: Jupiter rules the 12th (/houses/12/lord) and sits in the 6th (/placements/Jupiter/house).

Explanation: Only statement A matches the chart facts and doctrine: /houses/12/lord shows Jupiter rules the 12th, and /placements/Jupiter/house places it in the 6th, matching the Vipareeta Raja Yoga entry (/yogas/2). This is treated as supportive of resilience (hence conclusion 'supportive'), while B's guarantee and C's necessary weakness are both unsupported.


Jupiter, lord of the 12th, occupies the 6th house — a Vipareeta Raja Yoga configuration traditionally read as supportive of resilience through adversity

Statement B is not established: Vipareeta Raja Yoga does not guarantee freedom from illness; the 6th still holds Ketu with the 12th-lord placement

Statement C is contradicted by the stated yoga classification, which frames 12th-lord-in-6th as a raja yoga rather than a weak-vitality indication

The rule treats the placement as supportive via Vipareeta Raja Yoga but confers no guarantee of freedom from illness.

Under Parashari doctrine this placement forms a raja yoga (dusthana lord in another dusthana), so it is not necessarily a weak-vitality indication.

Explanation: Only statement A is established: /placements/Jupiter/house = 6 and the chart facts explicitly list 'Vipareeta Raja Yoga' because Jupiter, lord of the 12th, sits in the 6th (/yogas/2). This supports general resilience framing. Statements B (guarantee of health) and C (necessarily weak vitality) both overstate or contradict the rule, so they are not selected. The conclusion polarity follows A alone: supportive.

Explanation: Venus sits in house 3 (Scorpio) with Neutral dignity (/placements/Venus/house, /placements/Venus/dignity). House 3 signifies courage, initiative and communication — not vitality (house 1) or disease (houses 6/8/12). No standard Parashari rule makes Venus in the 3rd a challenge to vitality (A), and no astrological statement 'proves' a medical diagnosis (B). Nor is it an unqualified strong-vitality indication (C) — the 3rd simply is not a vitality house. Therefore none of A–C is established; D applies. Since only D is applicable and D negates A–C, the conclusion polarity of applicable statements is not a health-supporting or challenging finding.

A stated classical rule governing Venus's effect on vitality by house placement

Explanation: None of the three statements is established. B ('proves a medical diagnosis') is an overclaim astrology cannot support under any rule. C is contradicted by the chart itself: Venus sits in the 3rd (/placements/Venus/house), and the 3rd's significations are 'courage, siblings, initiative...' (/houses/2/significations) — no unqualified strong-vitality result follows from this placement. A would require a specific doctrinal rule treating benefics in the 3rd as adverse to vitality, which is neither supplied nor standard; classically the 3rd is an upachaya where even mild placements tend toward neutral-to-favorable outcomes over time. With no applicable statement, the polarity is indeterminate.


Sun in the 6th is a general health indication only, not a diagnosis.

A 6th-house Sun indicates susceptibility to health challenges generally; it does not prove any specific disease such as heart disease, and no diagnosis can be drawn from chart facts.

The Sun occupies house 6 (Aries), not house 7; Mars occupies house 7.

Explanation: S1 is accurate: the exalted Sun sits in the 6th house (/placements/Sun/house), a dusthana tied to disease and debt, so a general health challenge reading is appropriate without diagnosing. S2 is an overclaim — no chart fact supports proving heart disease. S3 misstates placement; Sun is in Aries in the 6th, not the 7th.


S1 is accurate: Sun in 6th (house of disease) noted as a general indication, not a diagnosis

S2 is an overclaim: no placement proves a specific disease; Sun in 6th is only a general health/disease-house indication

S3 is factually wrong: Sun is in house 6, not house 7 (Mars occupies the 7th)

Sun exalted in the 6th is at most a general indication regarding disease/enemies/service; Jyotish placements do not prove specific diseases like heart disease. No diagnosis can be established from this chart alone.

The Sun occupies natal house 6 (Aries, Ashwini), not house 7. House 7 (Taurus) contains Mars.

Explanation: S1 correctly frames the Sun-in-6th as a general health indicator without diagnosing (/placements/Sun/house). S2 overclaims by asserting heart disease from a single placement — astrology cannot prove diagnoses. S3 misstates the Sun's house: it is in the 6th per /placements/Sun/house, while /houses/7/occupants shows Mars, not the Sun.

Lagna lord Moon is debilitated in Scorpio in the 5th, weakening vitality and resilience at the root level

Rahu occupies the 6th house of disease, a classic indicator of hard-to-diagnose or stress-linked ailments

Saturn aspects the lagna (1st) and the 6th house from Libra, adding chronicity and slow-recovery themes to body and disease houses

Mars also aspects the 1st house; combined Saturn-Mars influence on the lagna can indicate injuries, inflammation or blood/pitta-type complaints despite Mars's own-sign strength

Jupiter, lord of the 6th, is placed in the 12th forming Vipareeta Raja Yoga — a mitigating factor where illness lords weaken each other, suggesting recovery from adversity

Mercury (lord of 12) in the 8th forms a second Vipareeta Raja Yoga, further buffering chronic/sudden health events

Current Jupiter mahadasha: Jupiter rules the 6th (disease) and sits in the 12th retrograde in enemy sign — health requires attention during this period (2025-2041)

Transits as of 2026-01-01: transit Rahu conjunct natal Mercury in natal 8th; transit Saturn conjunct natal Sun in 9th; multiple planets transiting natal 6th over Rahu — elevated acute-stress indicators now

Gochara Saturn is 5th from natal Moon and Jupiter 8th from Moon — outside sade sati but not fully comfortable lunar transits

Debilitated lagna lord would suggest poor vitality outright, but the double Vipareeta Raja Yoga and exalted Saturn (Sasa Yoga) on a kendra counterbalance this; the correct reading is vulnerability with strong recovery capacity, not chronic ill-health.

Exact current health complaints and age-related context

D60 and medical-specific vargas for finer confirmation

Explanation: The chart shows genuine constitutional vulnerability: a debilitated lagna lord (/placements/Moon/dignity), Rahu in the 6th (/placements/Rahu/house), and dual Saturn-Mars aspects on the lagna (/aspects/Saturn,/aspects/Mars), all aggravated by a current Jupiter dasha whose lord rules the disease house and sits in the 12th (/dasha/current). However, two Vipareeta Raja Yogas (/yogas/4,/yogas/5) and Sasa Yoga (/yogas/1) provide strong compensatory recovery power. Present transits (Rahu over natal Mercury in the 8th, Saturn over natal Sun) suggest an acutely sensitive window rather than a structural decline. Overall: mixed — watch health proactively during Jupiter mahadasha, especially the Jupiter-Saturn antardasha from 2027 (/dasha/upcoming/0), but no fatalistic reading is warranted.

}
```


Capricorn lagna at very early degree; vitality is governed by Saturn placed in the 11th (Scorpio) in an enemy sign, conjunct Mars and debilitated Rahu — the body's significator sits in a pressured, malefic-heavy house.

Saturn retro-aspects its own lagna (house 1), giving resilience but also chronic, slow-burning strain on self/vitality.

Moon (a benefic) is combust in Aquarius in the 2nd and aspects the 8th — emotional/moisture-related systems under pressure; Moon also rules the 7th from the lagna.

Jupiter in the 8th (retrograde, friend's sign Leo) forms Vipareeta Raja Yoga (12th-lord in 8th); classically this converts adversity into protection, supporting recovery capacity despite 8th-house activation of chronic/transformational matters.

Gaja Kesari Yoga (Jupiter 7th from Moon) adds general protective strength to mind and constitution.

Current period Mercury–Jupiter–Venus: Jupiter antardasha activates natal 12th-lord-in-8th placement (isolation/hospitalization indications possible); Venus pratyantardasha is exalted natally in the 3rd, which softens outcomes.

Transits as of 2026-01-01: transiting Saturn conjuncts natal exalted Venus in the 3rd and aspects houses 9 and 12; transiting Rahu sits on the natal combust Moon in the 2nd while Ketu sits on natal Jupiter in the 8th — a nodal axis directly touching both luminaries' dispositors and the 8th house, indicating heightened sensitivity now.

saturnFromMoon = 2: the native is within Sade Sati's middle phase (Saturn 2nd from natal Moon), a recognized window of fatigue, stress load, and reduced immunity in gochara reckoning.

jupiterFromMoon = 5: transit Jupiter is favorably placed from the Moon (not in 6/8/12 from Chandra), providing gochara protection that partially offsets the above.

The chart shows simultaneous stress markers (Sade Sati, nodal contacts to Moon and Jupiter, 8th-house emphasis) AND protective yogas (Gaja Kesari, Vipareeta Raja Yoga, exalted Venus). A synthesis reading only one side would overstate either fragility or robustness.

Explanation: The health picture is genuinely mixed. Structural strength comes from Gaja Kesari Yoga and the Vipareeta Raja Yoga formed by retrograde Jupiter as 12th lord in the 8th (/yogas/[5]), plus exalted Venus ruling the 10th (/placements/Venus/dignity). Structural vulnerability comes from the lagna lord Saturn in an enemy sign crowded by Mars and debilitated Rahu in the 11th (/placements/Saturn/dignity, /placements/Rahu/dignity), a combust Moon aspecting the 8th (/placements/Moon/combust, /aspects/Moon), and Saturn's own aspect back onto the lagna (/houses/1/aspectedBy). Timing-wise, the current Mercury–Jupiter–Venus dasha runs Jupiter's antardasha over an 8th-house natal placement (/dasha/current), while transits show Saturn conjunct natal Venus, Rahu on the natal combust Moon, Ketu on natal Jupiter in the 8th (/transits/contacts/[6..8]), and active Sade Sati (saturnFromMoon = 2). Transit Jupiter being 5th from the Moon offers partial mitigation. Net indication: elevated stress/fatigue susceptibility during roughly 2024–2027, with protective yogas limiting severity; no terminal or specific-disease prediction is made or should be inferred.

Counterweights are real: Budha-Aditya and Gaja Kesari yogas, a well-disposed 6th lord in the 1st, and Vipareeta Raja Yoga through Jupiter in the 8th all point toward recovery capacity and protection through adversity. The current Mercury–Jupiter period plus the 2026 nodal contacts (Rahu on Moon, Ketu on Jupiter, Saturn on Venus) mark a season demanding regimen discipline, but the overall balance is mixed-to-manageable rather than challenging."

Explanation: The VedAstro rule House1LordInHouse10 describes the ascendant (1st house) lord placed in the 10th house as a favorable placement for career, profession, fame, and public standing. Option A matches this supportive interpretation. Option B contradicts the rule's positive framing, and Option C overclaims, since the rule indicates tendencies toward professional success rather than guaranteeing a specific profession.
