Navamsa - The Key to Marriage

Navamsa - The Key to Marriage

The Basics:

The Navamsa is a zooming tool into your basic horoscope. It is a 9x Zoom meaning each sign is expanded  9 times so you have a finer picture of the position of planets in your horoscope. A Navamsa chart resembles your basic Rasi chart and is extracted out of your Rasi Chart or your basic horoscope.

While a Rasi Chart consists of 12 parts, the Navamsa consists of 12 x 9 = 108 parts. 

Maharshi Parasara the sage whose writings are found today in the book titled "Maharshi Parasara Hora Sastra" says "From your Navamsa chart know more about your marriage". 

The problem with the Navamsa Chart is that it is very sensitive to time of birth when compared to a Rasi chart. An error of a few minutes may cause very significant changes in the Navamsa Chart. For example in a Rasi Chart the Ascendant changes every 2 hours in a Navamsa chart the Ascendant changes every 2 hours / 9 = 13 minutes and 20 minutes. 

So if you are not sure of the time of birth it is better to leave the Navamsa alone. Of course the positions of planets in Navamsa do not change with changes in time of birth but we are talking about the Navamsa Lagna (Ascendant). 

Navamsa reveals when the Marriage will happen

Planets  placed in the 1st or 7th house in the Navamsa may be considered as giver of marriage. . If from the Rasi chart the same planets are connected to houses of marriage you can be 100% sure that such planets will give marriage.

Planets exalted in Navamsa usually gives auspicious results and marriage is one. Therefore Planets exalted in Navamsa also try to give marriage during their sub periods (Bhukti).

The lord of the 7th house in the Navamsa chart is a strong contender for marriage.

In most cases the basic horoscope is sufficient for finding the most probable time for marriage. But in case there are many planets that become nominee planets for marriage choosing one may become difficult even for experienced Astrologers. Which is when the Navamsa comes in as  a handy tool.

Sometime a planet that is in the 7th house in the Bhava Chart (house division chart) is also in the 7th house in the Navamsa Chart then if the person is not yet married, then during the ruling period of that planet the marriage will take place.

If marriage does not take place then the person will have "marriage like experience" meaning regular physical union with someone without the marriage. Sometime this may confuse researchers in Astrology when the client refuses to part with the secret affair. This may often lead to the situation where the Astrologer feels that the time of birth is probably wrong. Usually in traditional Indian families pre-marital sex is the worst thing that can happen so the person does not reveal the pre-marital sex because in most cases the parents come along with the children to an Astrologer.

Navamsa reveals when the Divorce will happen

Planets  placed in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th are indicators of trouble in marriage. If the Rasi Chart indicates divorce, the navamsa indicates when the divorce will happen. 

Warning: Without the basic chart indicating divorce do not use the Navamsa for timing divorce. 

During the conjoined periods of planets in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th house divorce is strongly indicated. In case the Rasi chart does not indicate divorce even then these planets indicate some other problem related to marriage. It may be a temporary separation, the spouse may go off to a foreign land for example.

It is better to get married after the bad period is over. If a person is in love with someone and then in the near future there is the conjoined periods of planets placed in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th house of the Navamsa chart, then the love affair will end (break) during that time. A wise Astrologer should advise the person to delay the marriage (cross the weak bridge).

The Navamsa reveals more about your spouse. 

If  the lord of the 7th house in the Navamsa Chart is Jupiter and Jupiter (Guru) is exalted in Navamsa then the person will get married to a very attractive person (usually fairer or more charming than others). This planetary position also indicates that the spouse will have a positive role to play. This means that after marriage the person will become happier and wealthier or get luckier.
