Partner Profile:

Profile of the first marriage partner represents one's expectations for unfoldment of the marriage partner's qualities.

Conditions of radix-7 and navamsha-7 indicate the native's fundamental expectations regarding outcome of contractual relationships

For subsequent marriages:

A number of spousal characteristics may change. Yet, the native's fundamental attitude toward marriage & interpersonal agreements -- expressed in the 7th-from angles will persist.


Qualities of the first spouse and native's fundamental expectations regarding outcome of contractual relationship:

  1. 7th-from-Chandra

  2. Navamsha lagna and navamsha domain-7: Read D-9 like a regular chart to gain a composite view of the partner, but more importantly observe the role of the lords of 1st & 7th navamsha as those graha behave in Radix.

    Typically, spouse = 7th-navamsha; you = 1st navamsha. (But this can be reversed in about 20% of cases.)

  3. Lord of 7th radix. Should be in an auspicious angle to house-7, and well-disposed.

  4. Find the navamsha of radix L-7. 

    Now find the graha which rules that navamsha. 

    Read this graha VERY closely, in all vargas. 

    It will tell you a great deal about the mirror your spouse(s) provide for you. 

  5.  yuvati bhava (7th house of the radix chart) and L-7; & drishti to house-7

  6. Shukra (karaka for beloved)

  7. Guru (karaka for blessings)

  8. Sometimes Shani (karaka for necessity)


7th-from-Chandra = profile of 1st spouse

if 7th-from-Chandra = house 6-8-12, results are naturally problematic

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 1

Spouse hails from an environment which emphasizes the physical body and appearance, such as athletic competition, hunting, fashion modeling, dance, hair or costume stylist, body-worker, massage, sports trainer or coach. 

Spouse has a well-developed body image, with which the native identifies psychologically. Strong emotional connection to the spousal appearance, and native comfort derived from attachment to the marriage status. Spouse is a vital and attractive container of the life force; heroic; iconic; and hot.

Spouse is concerned with Self, appearance, health and musculature, physical appeal, personal identity, and social validation responding to one's physical presentation. 

Native is more concerned with interactive harmony, love-making, negotiating agreements, and various emotionally comforting interactions. Relationship is natural and basic.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 2

Spouse hails from a background of bankers, historians, musicians, collectors & curators, hoarders, food & commodities storage, recorders, performers of cultural drama and poems, singers, and keepers of family tradition.

The spouse is strongly identified with stored values, conservative in nature, and feels most comfortable amongst folk from the bloodline of the family of origin.

The native with Chandra in domain-8 has a rather larger perspective of emotional attachment to permanence, in the form of stored values. The spouse is likely to bring wealth and well-being, stability and value, meaning and hoards into the native's life. 

Despite the greater realization that all this too shall pass, the native should be able to enjoy the pleasures of the present lifetime in the sensual company of a traditional and wealth-bearing spouse.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 3

Spouse hails from a background of business developers and administrators, local organizers, & team work. 

The spouse is emotionally oriented to "family business" such that either the work-mates become part of the family, or one operates a business employing mainly kinfolk. In either case the emotional attachment is toward the immediate local group, and the spouse will be focused on the happiness flowing from smooth day-to-day activities.

It may require some effort for the native with Chandra in domain-9 to extend one's perspective from one's own naturally global perspective, into the very familiar & pragmatic domains of "parakrama bhava". The spouse is focused on the local environment, with its repetitive conversations, team identity, and courageous acts of will. 

The spouse's emotional nature is active & competitive, while the native's emotional orientation is rather wise (but sometimes patronizing) & endowed with a broader perspective. If the native will accommodate the human reality of father-brother, religious-commercial, and global-local dichotomies, all will be well.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 4

Spouse hails from a background of land owners, stewards, & patriots. Domain-4 indicates the class of people or "gana" known as "guardians". They work with native, Earth-loving guides and stay close to the land. 

Spousal character grounded through emotional attachment to the land and roots, national or ethnic identity, and bondage to the local culture. The spouse is concerned with physical security, socialization of children, development of manners and customs, stewardship of natural treasures, and territorial development.

The native is more emotionally identified with leadership and holding public office. The native is well-known (Chandra in domain-10). The spouse needs to "hold the fort" for best balance in the relationship. It is probably easier if the spouse is female, but this balance can be achieved with either gender in either role so long as the division of labor and commitment is firmly established.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 5

Spouse hails from a background of literary accomplishment, intellectual achievement, entertainments, and wealth. The spouse's background includes political campaigns, theatrical talent, ethical philosophy, financial speculation, abundance through children, fame, and other expressions of individual genius. 

Spouse hails from a culture of high permission to express personal individuality. The spouse is accustomed to having things one's own way due to permissive, enthusiastic, individualistic upbringing. 

The native's comfort from Moon in domain-11 is more communally oriented, so there can be some tension with perceived selfishness or fame-seeking of the spouse. The native tends to set goals in the context of marketplace conditions while the spouse's agenda may seem too personalized and ego-centric. Nevertheless there is harmony and abundance.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 6

Spouse hails from a medical family, a police or military family, divorce or usury professions, social service, or ministry to the poor & sick. 

The spouse is associated with deep social conflict. Yet if the ruling graha, tenants, and other house conditions are favorable, the tradition of engagement with social and physical imbalance in society, the breakdown of agreements and need for stabilizing control, will yield a top quality service professional.

The native's own Chandra will be located in domain-12, which suggests that the native's own psychology and authentic emotional nature is not fully known to the native. The life will be driven by the search for buried emotions and reconnection with lost loved ones. One subconsciously attracts a spouse who manifests the vital conflicts of life. 

The spouse has permission to express illness, conflict & grievance, which may be unsettling to the native who has developed a rather thick shadow of obscurity around one's own feelings. This pair is often found in medical and criminal justice environments

Emotionally this setup can be difficult situation. Yet it can yield deep insight & mutual appreciation if the two spouses agree to therapeutic intervention in deep internal conflicts rather than externalization and blaming.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 7

Spouse hails from a background of negotiation, balancing, bargaining, promising,  and crafting deals & agreement. The family background includes legal practice in arranging contracts, and many roles which focus on creating treaties & alliances between groups and individuals.

The spouse is typically attached to the making & maintaining of agreements, living and working in balanced conditions, emotional comfort through love-making, and finding routes toward social harmony through careful & detailed discussion of alternatives & options.

Barring difficult graha in occupation of the native's domain-7 or perhaps a dysfunctional seventh lord, this setup typically yields an emotionally "available" relationship. By natural inclination, the spouse does most of the emotional "heavy lifting" in terms of continuous re-negotiation of shared basis. The native is free to agree (or not) to the terms proposed. 

If L-7 or tenants of yuvati bhava are problematic, the spouse may need constant affirmation of the validity of the marriage contract, resulting in compulsive re-negotiation. This behavior can be wearing, but it will be based in spousal emotional trauma, and can be relaxed through compassion & re-assurance over time.

This spouse will keep going "back to the drawing board" in pursuit of new agreements, which helps ensure the longevity of the relationship.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 8

Spouse hails from a background of tightly controlled, secret or hidden activities. The psycho-intuitive lineage of the spouse may include emergency medicine, midwifery, and surgery, psychiatry and psychotherapy, private investment banking, tantric practices, or sorcery, along with healing & rejuvenation work of all kinds.

Similar to the interpretation for domain-12, much of the spouse's emotional engagement may be hidden from the native. Domain-8 represents the process of destruction & reconstitution, to which few are invited and fewer attend.

The spouse derives a psycho-emotional identity (Chandra) from dramatic moments of the turning of the wheel of birth & death, where one life-force container is destroyed and the life force moves - by nature or through tantric controlled direction - into the next container or form. The "emerging" of the life force as it leaves the old container en route to the new form, is the essence of domain-8.  

The native, having an earth-bound, materialistic, sensual, & family-oriented Moon in domain-2, may not easily understand the spousal attachment to intense, often frightening, and secret practices. 

A balance will be found in mutual appreciation of the immensity of the cycle of life and death, and mutual commitment to honor the cultural traditions which guide and sustain the human life force.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 9

Spouse hails from a background of priests, professors, preachers, with moral, intellectual, or ritual authority. Spousal attitude can be paternalistic but generally the spouse is wise and broad-minded due to an upbringing which emphasizes philosophical religion and higher education.

Spouse is accustomed to comfortable foreign travel through a network of highly placed religious or academic associations (the temple network). The spouse is emotionally comfortable with an international lifestyle, which involves a good deal of travel, along with disengagement from the day-to-day routines of business and family. 

The native is more emotionally identified with practical daily business activities, the local and immediate work-group the extended family, and small-group communications. 

There is some gap in perspective, because the native is emotionally identified with local activities while the spouse is most comfortable in a  global & philosophical - often rather explicitly religious - lifestyle. 

The balance is typically successful as each partner contributes complementary needs to this global-local relationship.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 10

Spouse hails from a background of public service,  leadership & prestige. Similar to interpretation for "house-4". Emotional attachment to the world of bureaucracy, exclusivity, position, social rank and register, officials and officialdom, burghers and magistrates;  elder, commander, and boss.

The spouse derives emotional comfort and validation from maintaining a prominent public profile, high reputation and receiving admiration & respect. Distinguished service is more important than homelife, and family security needs to be managed by the complementary partner or spouse.

The native having Chandra in domain-4 is much inclined toward domesticity & early nurturing skills. So long as the hearth-fires are kept burning, then homeland security will be much advanced by a public-service spouse who brings honor to the family. All will be well. 

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 11

Spouse hails from a background of marketplace activists, community organizers, social developers, missionaries, and participants in large-scale networks, social gatherings, organizations, or movements. 

The spouse is emotionally attached to interlocking networks of friendship & profitable association. Gainfulness, goal achievement, and social equalization in the marketplace are important to the spouse. 

The native with Chandra in domain-5 is naturally less concerned with the welfare of large groups, and more focused on emotional satisfaction at an individualized level of experience. 

The two positions can be balanced through awareness of a thin but important commonality, which is social ethical philosophy and electional politics. This is a great setup for a politician with a fund-raising, rally-attending, opportunity-developing spouse.

7th-from-Soma (spouse-1) or 2nd-from-Soma (spouse-2) or 9th-from-Soma (spouse-3) =

 House 12

Spouse hails from a foreign land or was raised in a social culture quite different from the native's own. The cultural difference may be religious, national, psycho-emotional, or moral. 

The native will always have some difficulty to understand and develop one's connection to the spouse, since the spouse's identity is foreign in nature. As if the spouse were a figure in a dream, the native is largely unaware of what the spouse is doing.

Spouse may be identified with retreats, withdrawal to sanctuary, vacations, travel to and business with foreign lands, and "unidentified" private affairs of all kinds. The private undertakings of the spouse are frequently not known or comprehended by the native

The nature of the "unidentified" or obscured shadowy private business of the spouse may be sexual, financial, political, religious, or other. Nature of the shadowy undertakings will depend on the lord of house-12. 

If L-12 = 

  • Surya, private political involvement or moral principles

  • Chandra, private emotions & yearnings of which the native knows little

  • Kuja, private competitive sport including sexual adventures

  • Budha = private commercial affairs, of which the native is not apprised 

  • Guru = private religious or spiritual involvement, which the native does not share

  • Shukra = sexual & romantic private affairs, conducted in obscurity

  • Shani = private obligations or austerities, private ignorance or stubbornness of the spouse

  • Rahu in domain-12 intensifies the taboo-breaking and boundary-challenging instincts embedded into shadowy, unidentified behavior

  • Ketu in domain-12 give detachment and apathy toward private undertakings, and surrender of personal initiative under sway of the native's adversarial 6th-house Moon-Rahu personality


Profile: Second spouse is described by

  1. 2nd-from-Chandra -- house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to 2nd-from-Moon

  2. Your radix domain-2 -- house Lord, occupying planets, drishti to dhana bhava

  3. 2nd [or 8th] house within the navamsha (D-9)  

    Consider radix L-2's role in navamsha, occupying planets in D-9 2nd/8th house, aspects to navamsha lagna.  Read D-9 like a regular chart to gain a composite view of the partner.

  4. Most important: graha which is the lord of radix-L-2's navamsha sign


Profile: Third spouse is described by:

  1. 9th-from-Moon -- house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to 9th-from-Moon

  2. Your radix 9th house -- house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to dharma bhava

  3. navamsha (D-9) 9th [or 3rd] - consider the house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to navamsha 9th/3rd. Read D-9 like a regular chart to gain a composite view of the partner.

  4. Most important: planet which is the lord of radix-L-9's navamsha sign


Profile: Fourth spouse is described by:

  1. 4th-from-Moon -- house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to 4th-from-Moon

  2. Your radix 4th house -- house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to bandhu bhava

  3. navamsha (D-9) 4th [or 10th] -- consider the house Lord, occupying planets, aspects to navamsha 4th/10th. Read D-9 like a regular chart to gain a composite view of the partner.

  4. Most important: planet which is the lord of radix-L-4's navamsha sign


Profile: Additional marriages

  1. additional spouses are seen in the *8th-from-most-recent-spouse* The 8th-from any house signifies the "destruction/transformation" of matters in the original house.

  2. Just as 4th marriage (above) is seen in the 8th-from-3rd marriage = dharma bhava - counting 8 from 9th we reach the 4th house, significator of 4th marriage

  3. So, 5th marriage is seen in the 8th-from-4th - which is the house-11

  4. [Most important: planet which is the lord of radix-L-11's navamsha sign]

  5. Continuing the pattern, 6th marriage would be seen in 8th-from-11th which is house-6

  6. [Most important: planet which is the lord of radix-L-6's navamsha sign]

  7. More than 6 marriages?  Yes, it happens.  Always count 8-from-previous-marriage.


Profile: In-Laws:

In-laws, or spouse's family as a group, are found in the 2nd-from the spouse-house.  

  • First marriage in-laws = 2nd-from-7th-from Chandra = 8th-from-Chandra 

  • Second-marriage in-laws 2nd-from-2nd-from Chandra = 3rd-from-Chandra

  • Third-marriage in-laws 2nd-from-9th-from Chandra = 10th-from-Chandra

  • etc.

If in-laws are going to be a problem, you can see the issues in your own radix 8th-house.  Consider eliminating in-law conflicts by altering your matching energy.  Use consciousness to burn off resistance karma.  They really aren't the problem - but they certainly are mirroring the problem, accurately & effectively!

See also 8th navamsha, for more deeply embedded psychic truth about the spouse's attachments to his/her family patterns and how those attachments affect your marriage.

Very effective method: check out the planet which is the lord of the navamsha sign occupied by radix-L-8.  This planet will tell you the point of matching energy.  It might be good, netural communication and it might be arguing, perpetual disagreement.  Depends on the character of the lord of the navamsha sign occupied by radix-L-8.

In-laws for the second marriage, house-3, another troublesome house - but sahaja bhava is an upachaya house - it gets better with age and experience.  

Again, use the same method to pinpoint the link to them within your own aura: check out the planet which is the lord of the navamsha sign occupied by radix-L-3.  This planet will tell you the point of matching energy.

By the time you've undertaken a third marriage, you're pretty much immune to in-laws anyway - and this fact is represented by third marriage in-laws occurring in the dignified, auspicious 10th house!
