Marriage in Vedic astrology is governed by several houses, planets, and planetary combinations. A harmonious marriage requires strength in the 7th house (the house of marriage), positive influence from benefic planets, and a well-placed Venus or Jupiter (significators of marriage for men and women, respectively).
When these factors are disturbed, especially by malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu, the potential for separation, divorce, or long-term relationship issues increases. Below are some of the most commonly observed astrological signs that can indicate marital disharmony or divorce.
1. Affliction to the 7th House or 7th Lord
The 7th house in a birth chart governs marriage and partnerships. When this house or its lord is afflicted:
By malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu
Or placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house
Or conjunct with malefic planets like Sun or Mars
It can lead to frequent arguments, emotional disconnect, or eventual separation.
2. Venus Affliction in Men’s Charts / Jupiter in Women’s Charts
For men, Venus represents the spouse and marital pleasure.
For women, Jupiter represents the husband and marital guidance.
When these planets are debilitated, combust, retrograde, or afflicted by malefics:
The native may experience dissatisfaction in marriage
There may be a lack of harmony, respect, or love
Repeated troubles in married life may arise
3. Rahu or Ketu in the 7th House
Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets that bring karmic confusion and instability. Their placement in the 7th house often leads to:
Marriages based on illusion or false expectations
Unconventional or inter-caste unions that face societal or family resistance
Emotional detachment or unexplained dissatisfaction in the relationship
This placement often brings karmic lessons through marriage and may lead to separation if maturity or spiritual growth is lacking.
4. Mars Dosha (Manglik Dosha)
Mars placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house creates Manglik Dosha, especially in the birth charts of individuals who are not married to someone with the same dosha. Effects may include:
Aggression, temper issues, and dominance
Physical or emotional conflict in marriage
Breakup due to ego clashes or physical incompatibility
If not matched carefully, this dosha is a common contributor to marital breakdown.
5. Presence of Saturn and Rahu Together in the 7th House (Shrapit Yoga)
This combination creates emotional coldness and karmic blockages in marriage. It may indicate:
A burdened relationship where responsibilities outweigh romance
Constant emotional withdrawal or fear of intimacy
Legal issues or separation arising from third-party interference
6. 6th House Connection with Marriage Factors
The 6th house is the house of enemies, lawsuits, and conflict. If the 7th lord, Venus, or Jupiter is placed in the 6th house or aspected by its lord, it can lead to:
Legal separation or divorce
Constant quarrels and ego clashes
Open enemies within the relationship dynamic
7. Transit and Dasha Periods
Separation often happens during the Dasha (planetary period) of afflicted 7th house lords, Venus, Jupiter, or malefic planets. Transits of Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu over the 7th house or Venus/Jupiter may trigger actual events.
Final Thoughts
Astrological indicators of divorce or separation are not meant to create fear—they are tools of awareness. Many people with these combinations live in happy marriages due to maturity, understanding, and conscious partnership. Remedies, timing awareness, and free will play a major role in transforming marital karma.
Vedic remedies like mantras, gemstone therapy, counseling, and matching charts before marriage can reduce the chances of separation significantly.
