Astrology, Karma and Marital Conduct
Does certain planetary combinations lead to marital misconduct?
In astrology the general thumb rule that may lead to marital miscondut is as follows.
-
7th house governs spouse, partnerships, contracts, and public image.
-
Afflictions by Saturn (Ṣani), Mars (Sevvai/Kuja), Rahu, or a debilitated Moon (Neecha Chandra) can stress relationships - especially during their dasha-bhukti.
-
Sun with Venus can heighten sensuality - context and dignity decide whether this manifests constructively or recklessly.
-
Jupiter in the 7th is not a free pass - if mixed with malefics or functional malefics for the ascendant, outcomes can turn problematic.
-
Astrology indicates tendencies and timing, not guaranteed events - character, culture, and choices still matter.
According to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS), Saravali, Jataka Parijata, Phaladeepika describe possibilities under affliction, not certainties. Protective factors - strong lagna lord, benefic aspects, exalted dispositor - can transform outcomes
-
7th house (Kalatra Bhava) - spouse, intimacy, alliances, public conduct.
-
Moon (Chandra) - mind, emotional regulation. Debilitation in Scorpio (Vṛschika) is associated with turbulence if unsupported by benefic aspects.
-
Venus (Shukra) - love, pleasure, agreements. Exaltation in Pisces magnifies desire but also refinement when well-aspected.
-
Saturn (Ṣani) - delay, duty, detachment. In or aspecting the 7th can bring coldness or karmic tests, but also stability when dignified.
-
Mars (Kuja/Sevvai) - passion, assertion. Harsh aspects to the 7th can signal conflict or impulsiveness unless moderated.
-
Rahu/Ketu - obsession, boundary-crossing, sudden events. Their dasha amplifies themes where they sit and aspect.
-
Dasha-bhukti - timing device. Afflicted significators become louder in their periods.
7th house stress signals
Use this as a study aid. Presence of multiple signals - especially active by dasha - increases risk.
-
7th house or lord afflicted by Saturn/Mars/Rahu.
-
Debilitated Moon without benefic support.
-
Venus combust or afflicted, or extreme Venus-Sun emphasis without sattvic balance.
-
Nodes on the 1-7 axis.
-
Dasha of afflicted 7th lord, Venus, Moon, Rahu/Ketu, or malefics aspecting the 7th.
-
Public-image houses (10th) tied to 7th via malefic yogas - risk of scandal.
Balancers
-
Strong lagna lord and benefic aspects to lagna and Moon.
-
Powerful Jupiter unafflicted, or exalted Venus with benefic support.
-
Upachaya improvements over time - 3rd/6th/10th/11th gains.
Timelines - how and when it manifests
-
Dasha-bhukti of the afflicted planet(s) - events surface.
-
Transits - Saturn over 7th lord or Moon, Rahu/Ketu on 1-7 axis - activate latent patterns.
-
Age factors - Venus and Moon periods in youth can be more impulsive if the mind is unsteady.
Use both natal promise and timing. Do not predict specific persons or identical incidents.

FAQs
If I have Saturn or Mars in the 7th, will I surely face betrayal?
No. It is a risk factor, not a sentence. Dignity, aspects, and remedies matter.
Can astrology predict the exact incident or person?
No. It indicates themes, timings, and pressure points.
Do remedies really change fate?
Remedies modulate expression and help us choose better responses. They support mind and environment.
Should I leave a relationship because a dasha started?
Never decide on astrology alone. Use evidence, counseling, safety planning, and legal advice.
Astrology is a map, not the terrain. It highlights probabilities and timings. Character, compassion, and consistent effort still write the story.
