Graha in
Domain-7
Relationship
psychology: generalized results
-
for marriage
purposes, life is easier if there are NO graha in house-7
-
auspicious
timing of weddings should have no gochara graha crossing kalatra
bhava
-
if multiple
grahas occupy domain-7, results of each house lord or node must be
combined and rebalanced with the other occupying grahas
-
For a complex, aggressive
and profoundly disturbed
relationship life, see Adolph Hitler
= Surya, Shukra, Budha and Kuja in kalatra bhava receiving drishti of Shani
and Guru.
|
Surya in kalatra
bhava
|
Independent-minded and somewhat ego-driven
spouse who is an asset in public life, but not so easy in private
life. Enhances negotiation skills in marriage, but not empathy. Not
auspicious, generally, for partnerships. Limited ability to
compromise.
Better results if Surya is strong by rashi; a
neechcha graha in house-7 attracts a weak spouse and indecisive
business partners, leading to repeat marriages and much
frustration. See Lisa
Marie Presley.
House-7 being 10th-from-10th is also a career
indicator. A strong Ravi in yuvati bhava can make a decisive,
rational business person who can accept a large measure of
personal responsibility.
However the native should not take on
partners. Sole proprietorship is best. If working in a bigger
organization, some power to make independent decisions such as in
management roles, is essential.
"The woman's husband will reject her, if the 7th house from the Ascendant or from the Moon-occupied sign be occupied by the Sun." ~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch.

Behari
says re:
Gochara Surya transits domain-7:
-
"This house is associated with
partnership such as marriage, legal or otherwise, business, existing
relationships, law suits in partnership.
-
During this transit you may
form new relationships for various purposes.
-
Examine your relationship with your
spouse for better cooperation.
-
You must be effective for your partner as
he or she is for you.
-
Unsuccessful efforts and troubles are
indicated.
-
Do not take action alone;
work
with a partner or consult with an expert in that specific field.
Do not enter into direct conflict during this month.
-
Avoid wearisome traveling. Take
precautions against stomach and anal diseases, indigestion, painful
urination etc.
-
You may suffer humiliation, loss of
money, quarrels with wife, anxiety and depression of mind. Health of
wife and children may be afflicted."

Chandra in
kalatra bhava
|
A caring and nurturing spouse who may fill a
parental as well as marital role. Moon is volatile, so best results
from Karkata Moon and Vrishabha Moon. Other rashis of Moon are
strongly influenced by their lords.
Emotional outbursts and childhood trauma of
the spouse for Vrishabha lagna, where Vrischika Soma tends to attack
Himself in Kuja's rashi. Good for trading in family materials,
such as homes and furnishings; maternal and childcare items; and
advocacy work with family interests.
Usually gives a tame spouse who is happy with an
emotionally based role in the marriage, as nurturer and
supporter. May be a stay-at-home spouse. |
|
Kuja in kalatra
bhava
|
Warlike or highly competitive spouse.
Tendency
toward physical outbursts in the marriage, initiated by spouse.
Spouse may be athlete, hunter, or aggressive businessperson. Native
is active, likes vigorous interpersonal exchanges.
Strong sexual relationship; the partnership
places a high value on
physical contact. With Budha, will like to argue. With Chandra,
gains wealth through tackling tough business negotiations. With
Surya, may be extremely independent and attract similar partners who
need extensive personal space.
Kuja/7 is not a marriage killer, and is in
fact excellent for business: Kuja will cast energizing drishti upon
career-10, physical body-1, and wealth-2.
Difficult spouse is
indicated for Makara
lagna (because Kuja will be emotionally unstable in Chandra's
rashi). Also troublesome for Vrischika
and Kanya lagnas, where
Kuja becomes L-6/ L-8.
Forewarned is forearmed: this position
requires regular physical exercise, and opportunities for
aggressive challenge. Native is advised to undertake a career that
involves plenty of confrontation. Better if the fighting
instincts have a socially sanctioned outlet and do not overly
express in the marriage.
Good for criminal law practice and any
intentional interaction with violence such as police, military,
and professional security. Good for a male business partner
whether the native is male or female. |
|
Budha in
kalatra bhava
|
A youthful and chatty spouse. The
native is often an attorney or negotiator, one who represents the
interests of others. Aids sexual communication. Busy-busy, gifted in
handling information. Both partners are mentally active and usually
engaged in profitable business.
Not good for Mesha
or Vrischika lagnas,
where Budha becomes L-6/L-8. F
or Mithuna
lagna, the spouse becomes a twin: typically in the same
business/profession as the native, with very similar
mentality.
For Kanya
lagna, immature relationship behavior: spouse may be childlike or
dull-witted, and the native who also lacks mental sophistication
(because detailed-oriented Budha is overwhelmed in cosmic-view
Guru's rashi) may belittle their spouse.
However normally Budha in house-7 is good for
partnership communication, and beneficial for trading in
information, documents, concepts and ideas, plans, adolescent
items, and all types of advising.
-
"If Mercury is in the seventh house
and the lord of the seventh is weak or is situated in a malefic house or in conjunction with malefics like Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, there will be
loss of spouse.
-
In a female horoscope the above disposition will cause
loss of spouse and the native herself will suffer from
leprosy and will be ugly in appearance."
~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch.
4 Shloka 48-56
Examples:
Rue McClanahan
(Mangala; 6 marriages); Dennis Hopper
(Mangala; 5 marriages);
Adolph
Hitler (mutual suicide with spouse; multiple illicit liaisons) |
|
Guru in kalatra
bhava
|
A permissive and generous spouse. Not good
for Karkata or Vrishabha
lagnas (because Guru becomes L-6 or L-8, never beneficial
in the marriage house.) Spouse is large-bodied, friendly and
optimistic (so long as Guru's rashi is favorable) and often a
teacher.
Spouse is religious-natured. Dogmatically religious perhaps
in an unfavorable rashi, but spouse exhibits a compassionate intent.
Good for global businesses especially related
to education or children, and for trading in books and religious
items.
Wealth increases after marriage because Guru casts drishti
upon wealth houses 11, 1, and 3. Spouse brings dharma or good
luck into the marriage.
On the down side, the spouse's jovial
self-entitlement can be so expansive that less attention is given to
developing the private relationship of marriage; the native may feel
neglected if the spouse is too concerned with humanistic
activities or ritual.
-
"If Jupiter is in the seventh house, the native will be highly educated and also worried.
-
One will have lot of financial gains and
the spouse will be learned, chaste and devoted to her husband.
"
-
~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch.
5 Shloka 35-37

|
Shukra in
kalatra bhava
|
Attractive and sweet natured spouse with
advanced social skills. Barring unfavorable drishti to lagna,
Shukra's drishti from 7 onto domain-1 makes the native look
attractive, too.
When Shukra is strong in yuvati sthana,
karako
bhavo nashto = "too much of a good thing", applies.
Emphasis on sensual pleasures in marriage and business
partnerships tends to deprive the relationship of depth and
stability, but this spouse is definitely an asset for business
entertaining and public socializing. See Tony
Blair, Richard
Nixon.
Love of human company, fine dining, parties, harmonious
design, luxury travel and seeking out new pleasure experiences.
Favorable for the sexual aspect of marriage, although this channel
too tends to lack depth.
In business, good for trading in women's
articles, wine, luxury goods. Also good for having a female business
partner, whether the native is male or female. Native may be
trapped in a pleasure cycle, unable to detect non-sensual values in
relationship. Karaka for multiple marriages. |
|
Shani in
kalatra bhava
|
Hard-working, stable and pessimistic spouse.
Marriage is oppressive, entailing heavy social and material
responsibilities, but Shani also can bring community approval.
The spouse is a burden and a
disappointment. Yet the partners are typically faithful to each
other, and to their vows. Each sees the other as hailing from
a lower social class (each believes they have "married
down").
The spouse is less educated and less capable. These
partners share a powerful work ethic and with their solid material
focus, they may build a respectable home. Shani gives longevity, so
this partnership even if crushingly difficult will last a long time,
and getting out of it will be difficult.
Accepting limitations - sometimes stringent
limitations - is the key to happiness with this position. Good
for spouses who work together, especially in humble service work or
agriculture.
Shani in house-7 is undeniably difficult: consider that
from kalatra bhava, Shani casts oppressive drishti upon one's good
fortune/father (9); body/self (1); and home/security/education (4).
Realism and low expectations will help maintain good marital
health. |
|
Rahu in kalatra
bhava
|
Spouse is an outsider or foreigner in some
sense, whether religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, or political.
The native and their spouse both have
powerful desires. Unstable partnerships unless Shani casts an
influence. They like to take risks, both with each other and outside
the marriage. High sense of personal entitlement may lead to an
exciting or luxurious lifestyle. Partners encourage each other
to take greater risks and cross more boundaries.
Not a karaka for fidelity, but an open
marriage may be acceptable to both spouses. Helps successful
business trade in forbidden or taboo items such as human persons or
body parts, sexual services or paraphernalia, drugs of any kind
(including beneficial drugs), stolen or contraband goods, unapproved
or experimental practices, legal advocacy for foreigners and
outcastes. Karaka for multiple marriages. |
|
Ketu
in kalatra bhava
|
No matter what other auspicious influences
apply to kalatra bhava, Ketu in the marriage domain is
problematic. The native wants connection, but does not believe
it is possible. The native cannot stay in the relationship; but
neither can they leave. There is much indecisive agonizing,
soul-searching, and self-justifying. Passive-aggressive behaviors in
relationship may be expected.
Karaka for multiple marriages.
Native will have Rahu in lagna; the virtual lagna for spouse = Ketu
rising. Therefore it is the native who decides when to leaves the
marriage, rather than the spouse. Gives a long-suffering spouse who
remains distrustful and suspicious of the native, but nevertheless
feels bound to stay in the marriage.
Multiple, only partially satisfying
partnerships throughout life, with or without divorce. If there
is a legal divorce the Ketu/7 native will remain bound to the
ex-spouse in subtle or obvious ways - ranging from shared child
custody to joint investments to religious obligations.
If L-7 is strong or domain-7 receives
auspicious drishti, the outer marriage may appear beneficial.
However, an inner relationship psychology of distrust and
uncertainty between the partners is always present. If external
social conditions are good, Ketu/7 can create a complex, drawn-out,
and
sometimes miserable cohabitation.
Spouse is mentally and often physically disconnected
from the relationship. Each partner stays in their
own space.
There may be a meditative aspect to the relationship, but
there is not much attempt to connect physically, emotionally,
mentally, or spiritually - even if L-7 is strong. Both parties may be religiously or philosophically inclined,
but there will be an underlying theme of disappointment and despair in
the partnership.
When this tenuous marriage dissolves, in a spirit of deep resignation
and
surrender to fate, there need not be ill-will toward the
partner after separation. Absent harsh drishti, there may be a
peaceful neutrality in separation. In traditional cultures the marriage
continues as a public facade only, with no interpersonal passion.
If other grahas also
occupy kalatra bhava, the relationship is more engaged. It will
dissolve eventually, but with more "disappointment drama".
Native remains ambivalent about the value of marriage and
reliability of partnerships, slipping into many temporary
connections only to lose them eventually. Ketu
confers resignation to loneliness. Conscious natives will
conclude that the only truly reliable partner is the
Divine itself.
"If Ketu be in the seventh house at birth, the
partner will die during [Ketu] period or be separated from the native.
He will
suffer from urinary complains and some disease of the generative organs.
He
will encounter many obstacles to his career and will lose money because of
the rivalry and competition of enemies."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu
Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 280.

INTERDEPENDENCE
"The theory of interdependence allows us to develop a wider perspective. With
wider mind, there is less attachment to destructive emotions like anger,
therefore more forgiveness.
In today's world, every nation is heavily
interdependent, interconnected.
Under these circumstances, destroying your
enemy--your neighbor--means destroying yourself in the long run. You need your
neighbor.
More prosperity in your neighbor, you'll get the benefit.
Now, we're not talking about the complete removal of feelings like anger,
attachment, or pride. Just reduction.
Interdependence is important because it is
not a mere concept; it can actually help reduce the suffering caused by these
destructive emotions.
We can say the theory of interdependence is an understanding of reality.
We understand that our future depends on global well-being. Having this
viewpoint reduces narrow-mindedness.
With narrow mind, one is more likely to
develop attachment, hatred. I think this is the best thing about the theory of
interdependence -- it is an explanation of the law of nature.
It affects
profoundly, for example, the environment."
