Unions-10

Bright Attractive Successful Man = Unmarried

This very bright, highly educated, wealthy, world traveled business man has everything - except a wife!

Can you see the problem?

Ketu occupying radix-7, while L-7 and navamsha lord Shukra = combust .htm"> A sta (combust) and neechcha (fallen).

In Planets in Signs and Houses, Bepin Behari says of Ketu occupying Vedic Taurus in yuvati bhava

• You do not enjoy the pleasures of conjugal life.
• Ideas about yourself will stand between you and the world, and between you and your partners.
• As a result of this barrier you will be learned but unhappy, without any satisfactory married relationship.

Men of his caliber certainly do marry -- in spite of Ketu. Ketu has a bad reputation in kalatra bhava, it's true. Ketu is responsible for making the first marriages a disconnected "sham" or "shell" marriage. However, whether facades or not, ceremonial marriages do occur.

Ketu/7 natives marry spouses from from different nations or religions who aren't culturally comfortable in their marriage, or who travel constantly, or are mentally ill, or engaged in some extremely demanding spiritual practice. The partnership is detached and distanced. But they do marry.

his excellent fellow has enjoyed numerous deep, committed relationships in the five decades of his young life. He has served as co-parent, breadwinner, moral educator, and beloved in relationships with a number of fine women. But marriage evades him.

The reason is the double-whammy of Ketu in 7 with the fallen Venus, and protective Guru in navamsha-7.

Jupiter in the 7th navamsha indicates the enthusiastic, intelligent, proactive sensibility of most of his partners. Jupiter shows multiplicity. They are wonderful women. But when one leaves, another one is sure to follow. Guru ensures abundance of partners - so this guy doesn't have to work too hard to keep his mate.

Abundance, yes. But fallen L-7 Venus eventually drains the romantic life out of these sexual attractions - reducing them to cordial friendships. neechchaShukra indicates that the women to whom he is attracted will by and large find themselves unattractive, or at least not valuable enough to marry. So, he is neither motivated to pursue a marriage nor is he attracted to the type of woman who will pursue a permanent bond.

He will enter the Shukra Mahadasha at age 60, which may provide his first real opportunity for marriage.

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