The profile of "Yuvati" or "the yoke", comes through:

• 7th house from rashi lagna

• 7th house from Chandra

• 7th-from-Shukra

• 7th from Saturn (Karaka of 7th house)

In addition it would be foolhardy to jump to conclusions about marriage, business partnership, or legal agreements without surveying:

1. lords of 7th and 7th-from-Moon in radix

2. 7th-from-7th, or Tanu Bhava

3. D-1 planets in Tula (Libra)

4. radix L7 within navamsha

5. navamsha 7th house

6. 4th house within D-4

7. Occasionally 7th from Surya, especially if Surya occupies Thula

8. Radical 7th lord does not provide timing of marriage ceremony so far as I know. Radical 7^th will show material-social characteristics of the alliance.

7th from radical lagna = yuvati bhava

7th from Chandra

7th from radical lagna = yuvati bhava

L-7 in Lagna vs. Lagnesha in bhava-7:

Seventh lord in lagna = Marriage partnership controls the personality.

• Social personality conforms to partnership requirements and the needs of the spouse. Native is socially identified with one's marriage and business partners.

• Nature of conformance judged by characteristics of L-7.

• E.g., if L-7 = Budha, native mainly talks about their marriage commitments (follow-through would depend on other graha in lagna). L-7 in a rashi of Shani = conservative traditional spouse and marriage practices. L-7 in a rashi of Guru = liberal and expansive character of the spouse, and native conforms to/expands with that character. L-7 = Shukra, tendency toward sensualism. In Kanya, troubled women partners define the identity. Etc.

Lagnesha in bhava-7 = Personality controls the contractual relationships.

• One sees the partnership as an extension of the vital self.

• Native is a born negotiator, contract-maker, and crafter of agreements. Finding balance of mutual interest is the core component of one's personal self-image. Because the partner is an extension of the Self, what is good for the native must be good for the partner.

• One imposes one's own social profile onto marriage and partnership operations. May not conform to the conventional model of marriage practices, but will normalize one's own eccentric views by asserting that the spouse shares fully in the partnership process. Spouse is likely to go along with one's own stronger personality, esp. if the graha is favorable.

• Nature of personalized expression of agreement-crafting is to be judged by characteristics of L-1.Some examples:

  • If L-1 = Shukra, native expresses a feminized taste, full of sweetness and sensual indulgence. If in Mesha, celebration of friendly competition and sexuality as the ultimate in-body experience.

  • If L-1 = Guru, liberal and permissive. If in Kanya, prefers demure and youthful spouses. If L-1 = Surya, what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. (Only possible for Simha lagna, usually unfavorable.)

  • If L-1 = Shani, the native is a traditionalist in marriage and the spouse will be chosen for their ability to reflect a conventional, law-abiding social profile.

Marriage, Cohabitation, Conjugal Life

By and large, if the marriage indicators are even moderately favorable, marriage and core partnerships are predisposed to help us in life- with a 75% positive / 25% negative ratio.

The seventh rashi, or yuvati [young woman]bhava,is a very influential house in the Jyotisha nativity. Generally bhava-7 is the second most powerful house in the chart, after the lagna or Chandra lagna.

Yuvati bhava displays the blueprint for marriage, the character of the first spouse, the condition of the internal genitals, and the quality of sexual communication in this life.

Yuvati bhava especially signifies the first marriage, but its blueprint continues to affect subsequent marriages.

bhava-7 = the energy and function of the internal genitals, and this energy influences all but the most rarified marriages. Sexual pleasuring tastes develop slightly but in essence they do not change much throughout the lifetime.What changes is our understanding of human sexuality and our skill in managing it.

Also the psychological profile of yuvati bhava will continue to apply in a sort of translucent way, to all subsequent spouses. This is the very basic dynamic of relating - how much time alone, time for sexual relaxation, basic body requirements - which don't change because the vibe generated by Tanu Bhava (native's physical body) remains pretty steady throughout life.

Yuvati profiles expression of all natural bodily urges, especially the sexual instincts. As the house of the object of desire, the possessed, and the projected-upon, yuvati profiles gross materiality of all kinds.

Not all adults have sexual partners; yet, all adults have a punya bhava. Everyone has one significant partnership, even if that partnership is with a deity or an idea. Yuvati rules the Opposite polarity to the self - whatever that opposite pole is. The opposite pole can arrive in many different packages. To truly understand sexuality, it is necessarily to understand energy polarity. Yuvati or the marriage house governs all energy exchanges - energy coming in, energy going out - between spiritual beings and their psychic projections.

Timing of Death

The second and seventh radix houses are "maraka" houses. Their planetary lords time the departure of spirit out of the container of the fleshly body.

• The periods of L2 and L7 from lagna or Moon can show Timingof death for the native .

• Similarly, 2nd-from-7thcan show death of first spouse (or end of first marriage/divorce) 2nd-from-4thor 7th-from-4thcan time death of mother, etc.

• Seetiming of death in chart of Jackie Kennedy Onassis died of lymphoma for a good example of death in the bhukti of L-7 Mangala.

• However conditionsof death - place, cause, environment etc. - are of the 8th house, thus condition of death for first spouse = dhana bhava, whilst conditions of death for spouse-2 = dharma sthana, etc.

According to BPHS 11-14:

if Rahu occupies yuvati bhava: Mangala/Rahu period may develop some dangerous experiential qualities

Shani drishti to kalatra bhava:

Ceteris paribus, Shani's negative aspect to the marriage house, which occur when Shani occupies houses 1, 5, and 10, does not break up marriages. Shani drishti to 7 or 7th from Chandra can over-emphasize duty at the expense of pleasure.

A Shani drishti to 7 may contribute to the marriage feeling loveless, or the marriage partner acting as a task-master, and native feeling full of grief for the loss of greater expectations. Nevertheless the Shani drishti to 7 does not cause divorce per se.

Rather it gives stamina. Shani occupying house-7 contributes survival information. A powerful influence of Shani upon any kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) may provide tremendous endurance.

In marriage, despite a loveless marriage or marriage to a lower, unsuitable or oppressive spouse, the native will be inclined to accept karmic duty and carry on per the wishes of society. And society wishes, in marriage as in all other undertakings, for material stability and safety above all. Shani respects rules and tradition.

L-8 and L-6 located in Yuvati bhava can make marriage miserable via chronic illness or argumentativeness of the spouse (6) or secrecy and hidden dealings (8). L-8 in java sthana will eventually trigger separation during bhukti of L-8 or L-2.

• Unless Shani = L-8 ( Mithuna lagna and Karkata lagna) Shani is not a separation-divorce causer. Just a misery causer...
