Both, the Rasi-chart and the Navamsa-chart are deemed equally important and

therefore, consulted together. Whereas the Rasi-chart provides overall information

regarding the location of planets and sensitive-points such as the Lagna, the latter
provides vital information regarding their active quality and strength.

In Vedic Astrology the Navamsa or 9th Harmonic chart (D9 chart) is said to be a
microscopic view of the 9th House and therefore the hidden undercurrent of our fate. It
is basically to predict marriage life of the native, spouse and life in later stage (after 32
years).

Definition. In Vedic astrology, Navamsa means one-ninth part of a Zodiac Sign. ...
Moreover, the Lagna-rasi and the Lagna-lord should not form or occupy the 6th, the 8th
or the 12th bhava in the Navamsa Chart nor the lords of the 6th, the 8th or the 12th of
the Rasi Chart associate with the Navamsa Lagna or its lord.

Navamsa chart is perhaps the most important chart in Jyotish after Lagna chart,
because Navamsa chart shows the true dignity, strength and results of the planet from
lagna chart. Navamsa chart is a divisional chart in vedic astrology that is studied for
wealth, marriage and overall fortune of the native.

Navamsa chart is the fruit of that Tree. Everything We can Judge from Navamsa Kundli
but still Marriage is specially checked from Navamsa. Dividing any Rashi or sign by 9
part, we can constitute Navamsa chart. 9th house is the house of Dharma or Fortune. In
Hindu religion Marriage is considered to be the Dharma or duty of highest order. It is a
Union of Atma or Soul. That is why we try to predict Marriage from Navamsa chart.

Before Discussing Nature of Spouse from Navamsa chart or spouse characteristics from
Navamsa chart, Lets talk about the type of Marriage described in Hindu Religion

There are 8 Types of Marriage described in Manu Smriti. These are as below

1. Bramha Vivaha: In this Type of Marriage groom Seeks Bride as per their Skills
and abilities. Jupiter is the main signifying planet for such marriage. This is
considered to be the kind of Marriage. In Modern day we can compare it with
an arranged Marriage where both Boy and Girl complete their Education and
after that as per family and other factors two persons get married.
2. Daiva Vivaha: This Kind of Marriage happens when one is unable to find a
suitable groom or Bride. In this type of wedding, there are no feasts or
celebrations that are specific to the wedding, but the wedding of the daughter
of a poor family is held as an act of charity by wealthy people. Mars is the main
signifying Planet for such marriage.
3. Arsha Vivaha: In this kind of marriage the girls family is unable to bear the
expense of the marriage and the boys family pays a nominal or cutomary gift
as the price of the bride and brings the bride home. This kind of Marriage is
not suitbale in modern society. Moon is the main signifying planet for such
marriage.
4. Prajapatya Vivaah: This type of marriage is the same as the Brahma vivha in
all respects, except that this type of marriage takes place when the groom and
bride both are very young. The wedding ceremony may take place but the
marriage is not consummated for several years, until the bride and groom are
 old enough. This kind of Marriage can be referred to the Bal Vivaha of earlier
days. Sun is the main signifying Planet.
5. Asura Vivaha: This is very similar to Arsa vivaha. Here the Grrom family Pays
lot of Money to the family of the girl as Bride Price and Bring the Bride home.
The only difference is that in Arsha Vivaha, the price paid was a nominal one
or customary one but in this case lot of wealth is given. Money Rules this kind
of Marriage. This Kind of Marriage is not considered good in society. Mercury
is the signifying Planet.
6. Gandharva Vivaha: This can be referred to Modern Days Love Marriage where
Bride and Grrom is attracted towards each other and they Fall in Love. Venus
is the main signifying Planet of such Marriage.
7. Rakshas Vivaha; When some one is Kidnapped or forced to Marry due to some
reason is Known as Rakshas Vivaha. In recent time we see Several Marriage
happens for Political gain or Business expansion etc. In earlier Days Kings
used this kind of Marriage for expanding their Kingdom. Saturn is the Main
Karak for this kind of Marriage.
8. Pischa Vivaha: In this type of Marriage the Bride is either intoxicated or not in
stable mental condition during Marriage. Rape can be compared with this
kind of Marriage. Rahu/Ketu is the signifying planet of this kind of Marriage.

Some important Combinations for judging Spouse from Navamsa Chart

For a good and happy marital life, we have to first see the condition of the 7th Lord of
Rashi chart(D1) in D9. The planet should not be debilitated or afflicted by Malefics in
Navamsa. After that we have to see the 7th house of Navamsa chart and condition of 7th
lord from Navamsa Lagna. If all of them is in Good condition, we can safely predict
Happy Marriage Life.

When people approach us for Marriage/Relationship Consultation we use all of the

above mentioned technique and many more to come to an conclusion about the Nature
and Look of the spouse. It takes almost three hours for Marriage Analysis only. You may
see

Venus is the Main Significator of Marriage for both Man and Women. It is also the
significator of Wife in a Mans chart. So venus should not be debilitated or afflicted by
Rahu or Saturn in Navamsa. When two or more malefic planets afflict Venus and if the
ätmakäraka and 8th lord are involved, While judging spouse from Navamsa chart we
should keep in mind that such combination is a curse and marriage can be denied and
delayed considerably.

If Rahu afflicts the Venus there can chances of cheating experience from Spouse or
Marriage relation. If Saturn afflicts the Venus in Navamsa chart, it brings untold misery
and unending suffering. If Mercury and Venus is conjunct in Navamsa chart, this is a
bad combination for Lack of marital bliss.

Rahu – Venus or Mars- Venus combination in D9 is a strong indication of Love

marriage while judging spouse from Navamsa chart.

If the Ketu and Mars is conjunct in 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th house of Navamsa chart, we
have to be very careful while checking spouse from Navamsa chart because such
combination indicates a spouse who can be harmful to the spouse.

If Sun is strong in Navamsa lagna or Moon is strong in 3rd house of Navamsa chart
indicates that the native may live longer than Spouse. Jupiter-Venus conjunction in D9
chart shows the Blessing of Shiva and it is a good for Progeny while judging Spouse from
Navamsa chart.

If saturn is Placed in Navamsa lagna or aspect the Navamsa Lagna, it can delay the
marriage. Saturn aspect on Venus and 7th lord of Navamsa Lagna is equally
detrimental.

When Sun is Placed in 7th house or associated with Darapada(A7), it indicates a

arranged marriage.

Marriage Timing can be calculated as per Vimsottari dasha of the 7th Lord of D9 chart
or Navamsa Lagna Lord or planets sitting in the 7th house of Navamsa. Predicting Time
, quality of marriage and spouse from Navamsa chart is not an easy task. The birth time
is also has to be accurate.
