    Spousal Profile: Characteristics and Qualities

    Radix L-7 in Bhava-1

    Overall beneficial placement with L-7 in 7th-from-Swakshetra.

    • the native is socially and psychologically identified with one's status as a married person, and one's social personality derives strength (positive or negative) from the behaviors and appearance of the spouse.

    • Good position for those involved in contracts, negotiations, deal-making, and resolution of conflict through the law courts, attorneys and advocates, marriage counselors, and political advisers.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava-2


    Overall difficult placement with L-7 in 8th-from-Swakshetra. The spouse is an essential agent of financial acquisition and the spouse has an important relationship to one's family historyor the traditional values of one's people.

    The spouse may have been chosen to placate the family history( Jawaharlal Nehru, Prince Charles) yet the native conducts covert (8th-from) resistance in order to keep a steady environment of emergency and change in the marriage.

    M-1 is not an easy marriage for the native because L-7 occupies 8th-from-swakshetra, a position of constant change and upheaval.

    Marital infidelity on the part of the native is more likely with the 6/8 angle although even a high level of frustration with the spouse does not automatically guarantee unfaithfulness.

    However divorce is less likely because the spouse has control of the money or the cost (social and financial) of divorce is prohibitive

    Good position for those whose partnership activities -- collaborative relationships both personal and professional -- involve the handling of hidden or highly privileged information, confidences, emergencies, revolutionary and transformative powers.

    Radix L-7 in Sahaja Bhava- 3


    Overall beneficial placement with L-7 in 9th-from-Swakshetra.

    An excellent 5-9 placement.

    A superior position for husband-and-wife business teams.

    The life partner is very helpful in matters of commercial business, arranging small group interactions, sending messages, organizing the writings, drawings, publications and announcements which constitute the native 's mental output, arranging short-term travel such as family holidays, assistance with every sort of communication and planning task, and generally provides all the helpful cooperative support of a favored sibling.

    • Karl Marx's wife helped him write his famous books and speeches

    • Beatle George Harrison wives both helped him organize events, coordinate his publications, and manage his business

    • both Laura Welch Bush the wife of G. W. Bush - 43 and Barbara P. Bush the wife of G. H. W. Bush - 41 were known for helping their husbands to keep an accurate meetings calendar, and maintain a daunting schedule of professional correspondence

    • Melinda French Gates the wife of Bill Gates travels constantly with her husband maintaining a very demanding schedule of business meetings and correspondence

    • Ivana Trump's four husbands have all been business partners in her various commercial undertakings

    • Brad Pitt co-owns highly profitable entertainment film production companies with both of his life partners

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 4


    Overall, a professionalized, publicity-oriented placement with L-7 in 10th-from-Swakshetra.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 5


    Overall gainful and achievement-oriented placement with L-7 in 11th-from-Swakshetra.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 6


    Overall conflicted and socially unbalanced placement with L-7 in 12th-from-Swakshetra.

    L-7 in occupation of Bhava-s 6, 8, or 12 from radix lagna or from Chandra lagna is always problematic.

    L-7 in 6 is distinctly problematic for marriage. In cultures which permit divorce, it signals the likelihood of divorce due to spousal overwork to the extent that the spouse (with the native 's implicit compliance) drains much of the vitality from the marriage through an excessive focus on work.

    In cultures which force unhappy spouses to stay married, may point to an unbalanced or chronically disagreeable marriage. the native will have a tendency to divert attention from the unbalanced union into a the numbing effects of service work (6) which shall ideally take the native away from home for periods of extended foreign residence or other retreat from the perpetual difficulties of the union.

    L-7 occupies the mahadushtamsha as measured from lagna as well as an additional dusthamsha as measured from yuvati bhava. The marriage integrity is dissolved as the native has relatively little energy available to negotiate improvements in the marriage relationship.

    Even when the lord of yuvati is overall a favorable graha (such as Guru for the Kanya lagna or Budha for the Dhanau lagna) to have L-7 in 12th-from-swakshetra is a difficult arrangement.

    the native accepts fundamentally good relations with the spouse and will not disturb the easy and successful parts; however when repair work and re-negotiation of the agreement is needed over time, the native has relatively little ability to pursue the cycle of regrowth and recommitment necessary for a long-term equitable marriage.

    If the L-7 graha is inherently negative (esp as measured from Chandra) there may be deep emotional exhaustion which disallows the native from investing any vital energy into the partnership at all. L-7 in 12th-from-swakshetra is a passive position tending toward eventual animosity in the marriage. It suggests that the spouse lives in a state of interior argumentation within him-herself, which takes away most of the vital energy from the partnership. The spouse may self-medicate as is typical of the drugs-medicines-alcohol events in Bhava--6.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 7

    Overall, an agreement and alliance balancing, bargaining and deal-making placement with L-7 in Swakshetra.

    The spouse has a very strong character, for good or not. If the graha is dignified this character is very good and may rescue the native from other difficulties in life. A good partner can be tremendously helpful in overcoming other challenges in life.

    cf. Richard Nixon who endured much public approbation nevertheless his loyal wife Pat Nixon remained cool and attentive to his needs, acting like a shield for him against the worst criticism and negotiating on his behalf to protect him from the worst legal consequences of his mistakes.

    Queen Elizabeth II has enjoyed the staunchly dedicated support of her long-time husband, Prince Philip, whose steadiness has protected her in times of turmoil.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 8

    Overall difficult placement with L-7 in 2nd-from-Swakshetra.

    L-7 in occupation of Bhava-s 6, 8, or 12 from radix lagna or from Chandra lagna is always problematic. Disloyalty and intrigue in marriage, unless some very sober and conservative graha dominates the wayward L-7. (E.g., Edgar Cayce)

    Hidden liaisons, confidential sexuality, privileged relationships which may be essential for managing or protecting state secrets. The secret lover is an important confidant, not a trivial fling.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 9

    Overall neutral placement with L-7 in 3rd-from-Swakshetra.

    The first spouse resembles the father

    The spouse has a strong relationship with the native through moral or religious teachings.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 10

    Overall beneficial placement with L-7 in 4th-from-Swakshetra.

    The spouse has a good career and the spouse well-supports the native 's career.

    the spouse is a helpful agent in regard to parenting, making a family home, and supporting the native 's own professional life.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 11


    Overall beneficial placement with L-7 in 5th-from-Swakshetra.

    The partners are friendly and the spouse supports the native in achieving one's personal goals.

    Radix L-7 in Bhava- 12


    Overall difficult placement with L-7 in 6th-from-Swakshetra + L-7 residing in bhava of enemies of marriage.

    L-7 in occupation of Bhava-s 6, 8, or 12 from radix lagna or from Chandra lagna is always problematic.

    L-7 occupies 6th-from-swakshetra. Bhava--12 = a dushthamsha measured from radix lagna (dissolution of physical identity and vitality) and Bhava--12 is also a dushthamsha measured from the yuvati lagna (enemies of the marriage, 6th-from marriage house).

    • This position is quite unfavorable and consciousness is required to develop compensating strengths. There is a tendency toward choosing to deal with the arguments and stresses of marriage not by direct negotiation but rather through pursuit of private 'bedroom' affairs that are supplemental to marriage.

    • The spouse tends to withdraw into their own imagination, often in a hostile fashion, and the native may be targeted as the source of perceived insults or a source of actions that stimulate spousal jealousy. Partner prone to some variety of 'marriage-unfriendly" behaviors ranging from voluntary isolation from society to an preference for clandestine extramarital relationships.

    Some benefit might be derived from the spousal expertise in foreign affairs, sleep, intuitive or clairsentient knowledge, meditation, or dream interpretation.


    May all beings venerate life as a state of deep spiritual intimacy.
