Shukra Lagna

How to Measure a Marriage


A few general rules:

Shukra lagna may be used as the baseline from which to measure the fortunes and characteristics of a marriage union.

  • for a Female, the major features of the partnership including its wealth, moral values, level of engagement with children and career, relationship to in-laws, etc.
  • for a Male, further details about not only the alliance as a social entity but also the personal character of the spouse and her affect upon the male native may be read from the Shukra lagna.

Graha in the 4th from Shukra are inauspicious for marriage.

These graha may produce good results in other areas of life,

but 4th from Shukra connotes a conflict between marriage pleasures vs. parenting emotions + home or homeland duties.
