This female's marriage has lasted for
more than 20 years, through several
catastrophes, with considerable mutual happiness.
The spouses are
creative artists who are very supportive of
each other's art careers. They are also responsible parents &
citizens.
The educated female spouse was attracted to her
husband's:
-
unpretentious earthiness (Shani in 7th-from-lagna);
-
his friendly eccentricity (L-7 Guru yuti Rahu);
-
his peculiar
intellectuality (Budha lord of 7th-from-Moon-yuti-Shukra).
-
His remarkable artistic talent - L-7
Guru occupies Shukra's navamsha, while Shukra is exalted in
D-1
-
He was a friendly, quirky, spacey, wild-idea artist with no visible
means of support - but he had exceptionally high "EQ"
("emotional intelligence quotient") due to L-7's navamsha
lord Shukra being yuti the wife's Moon.
She liked all that. Decades later, it's all still there. He's the same
nut she married. And she's still crazy about him.
The navamsha displays very little conflict.
The
native, represented by nurturing, maternal Soma in navamsha-7th, is
happy to love, nest, & care for her husband & children. She does not
ask for, because she does not need, too much direction or attention from
him. She has plenty of struggle in this life, but most of her conflict
during the current incarnation is with her career & health -
not her marriage.
The public may view her husband's lower class
status & poor professional standing as a step down. However in
private this native is quite happy in her marital situation - despite
the occasional moment of performance anxiety stress. Fallen Shani,
significator of the husband in the female's navamsha, may cause restless
or immoral behavior from the spouse during Shani's periods.
However, the native will continue to accommodate him, with love, because
she is content to stay married.
Finally, the matching
energy between wife & husband is found by locating the lord of
the navamsha sign of L-7. Guru, radix L-7, occupies Tula navamsha, so
the psychic link
is Tula's lord radix Shukra.
Uccha Shukra is in kendra with a lovely Meena
Moon. The husband is an artist, and a dependable, nurturing
parent. Shukra receives no aspects; her husband is an admirable, gifted,
and pleasant partner.
Proof that we MUST use the
navamsha to read the radix properly.
Radix house-7 contains a
Shani/Dhanus with no helpful aspects; L-8 in 7 should indicate an
unhappy marriage to say the least.
Behari says of this curse, "Saturn makes marriage intolerable. All moral codes are discarded, and illicit affairs only become habitual. Family life disintegrates."
Yet this is a contented marriage that has strengthened
over the years. The wife is happy with her husband.
It is true
that Shani's nakshatra quarter is more favorable than the general reading, but it
is also important to appreciate the insights gained from checking FIRST
the role of lord of navamsha L-7, as it manifests in the radix.
Examples of radix-navamsha
correspondence patterns in long-lasting
marriages:
Marriage-2
is a strong, traditional union with children. Psycho-emotional Matches:
along three axes provides a broad base of supporters. (Note the
powerful connection across Mesha/Tula axis. This couple has a
lifetime shared commitment to stay athletically fit & physically
attractive. They have always motivated each other to exercise
& dress well.)
-
his radix Moon axis and his navamsha
nodes matches her radix lagna and her navamsha lagna
[Mesha/Tula]
-
his radix Nodes match axis of her
radix Moon & her navamsha Moon [Karka/Makara]
-
her navamsha Nodes match his
navamsha lagna axis & his navamsha Moon axis [Simha/Kumbha]
- (matching across navamsha's, giving interpersonal support)
Marriage-4
is a strong, traditional union with children. Psycho-emotional
matches: along three axes provide good support. This couple are
creative artists who permit each other a wide range of independent
function but they also enjoy family life together.
-
Her radix Moon axis
matches his navamsha lagna [Kanya/Meena]
-
His radix Moon axis
matches her navamsha nodes and her radix lagna
[Mithuna/Dhanau]
-
Her navamsha lagna
matches his navamsha nodes and his navamsha Moon
(interpersonal support) [Simha/Kumbha]
Marriage-5 is a strong,
non-traditional union with children. Psycho-emotional matches: this is a
non-traditional relationship and the psycho-emotional matching shows that this
couple is not "out" in most public venues where male-female
compatibility would strike a different balance. This is a creative bond
and a lasting bond. Their strength is interpersonal support.
-
partner-2 radix Moon axis matches
partner-1 navamsha Moon [Simha/Kumbha]
-
partner-1 radix Moon axis matches
partner-2 radix nodal axis [Vrishabha/Vrischika]
-
partner-1 navamsha nodal axis matches
partner-2 navamsha nodal axis [Karka/Makara] -
interpersonal support
-
partner-1 navamsha lagna matches
partner-2 navamsha lagna [Mesha/Tula] - interpersonal
support
Marriage-6 is a strong,
traditional union without children. Psycho-emotional matches occur on one axis
only. (This couple is somewhat isolated socially.)
-
Her radix nodal axis and her navamsha
lagna/Moon axis matches his radix Moon and his navamsha
nodal axis.
-
Her Moon is not "recognized" in
his navamsha. This marriage accommodates a significant
emotional gap. There are compensating extra-marital interests.
Marriage-7 is a strong, traditional union with children.
Psycho-emotional matches are extensively bonded on four of six possible
rashi axes.
This couple participates in several different interlocking communities,
(school, church, fellowship, sports etc.) and have a large repertoire of
mutually enjoyed activities. Multiple bonds give many different "stakeholders" a
share in socially supporting their marriage.
-
His navamsha nodes match her radix
lagna axis [Simha-Kumbha]
-
Her navamsha lagna matches his navamsha
lagna, and matches his radix lagna {Dhanau/Mithuna]
-
His radix moon matches axis of her navamsha
nodes and axis of her navamsha Chandra [Karka/Makara]
-
His navamsha Chandra (matches his own
radix nodes and) matches her radix nodal axis [Vrishabha/Vrischika]
Marriage-11 is a
strong, non-traditional union with children. Psycho-emotional matches
are limited to two axes, this couple tends to be heavily focused on
their home (Chandra) and therefore slightly isolated. :
Marriage
Karma seen in Navamsha
Have
a troublesome planet in the dusthana houses of the navamsha?
The owner of this
navamsha has
an unfortunate planet Mangala in 6/8 angle from
dispositor Shani,. His inner anger is
dormant, unrecognized in his consciousness. However, his spouse is
destined to bring it out!
For the duration of the first marriage, this man
projected all his inner conflict, imbalance, and animosity (matters of the 6th
house) onto the spouse -
claiming that all anger arose from "the spouse's subconscious mind".
Importantly, the anger issue remained a completely
private conflict within the marriage. His yuvati bhava for the
first spouse looks great on the outside - note the strong Guru/Surya
combination that gives a nice public "face". He suffered
only in private.
Of course it looked like, and felt like, the spouse's
unconscious anger was the source of this very intense animosity, because
6-navamsha = 12th-from-7th = spouse's unconscious.
However it's his own navamsha -- which means that the spouse is only
*mirroring* his fruits. Evil in navamsha really belongs to the
native. It's one's own "fruit"; one's own karma.
Unconscious people will blame the spouse until their
death for all of their unwanted inner evils. Conscious people will
eventually take ownership of all their navamsha planets, and thank god for the
opportunity to be married to a "difficult" spouse. As always,
consciousness is the key.
Interestingly in this case, the native entered a
second marriage, and re-started his habit of projecting un-owned karma upon
the second spouse. However, second spouse = 2nd navamsha. He
detected in the unconscious mind of the second spouse not anger (Kuja) but
rather Fear (Shani). Shani occupies D-9 lagna = 12th-from-2nd-spouse,
the unconscious mind of the 2nd spouse.
The spiritual best education happens when one can see one's actions & reactions
in the mirror formed by the intimate partner.
Thus, we attract people who are
strong in ways we are weak, or more fully developed in ways that we have just
begun emerging.
From the partner's point of view, you are strong where
they are weak, and more fully developed where they are emerging.
When
reading the navamsha for spouse profile, keep in mind a
peculiarity: 1st partner may be profiled from either 7th
navamsha (most common) or 1st navamsha.
Initially, always try
using 7th navamsha as lagna for the first spouse. However, if the 7th really doesn't represent the spouse as you know them, be
willing to read first spouse and all of their relationships - parents,
children, previous spouses, etc. - from the D-9 lagna.
DeFouw &
Svoboda in Light on Relationships call this phenomenon the "80/20
rule". Approx 80% of navamsha charts will read correctly for the
spouse = 7th D-9.
