Marriage...

This is the horoscope of someone I know whose marriage has been delayed for sometime as per Indian standards. The native is a good person and I hope the best. Troubled with this thought I decided to look at the native's horoscope this evening.

First I checked for the promise of marriage. The 7th CSL is Venus. Apart from being the natural significator of marriage, Venus is also signifying the 11th cusp by ownership. So marriage is promised for the native.

The ongoing Dasha is of Moon. Moon signifies 3 5 11 4 1. Moon is in the sub of Venus. So Moon is a strong significator for the marriage event. 

The ongoing Bhukti is of Saturn. Saturn is significator of 7 through ownership of sign. Saturn is in the sub of Mercury. Mercury is in its own starlord. Thus as per Shri Shahasane's rule the sublord (Venus) will play the role of the star lord. Using this rule we can see that Mercury also signifies the 11th house through Venus' ownership. 

So Dasha lord and Dasha lord's sublord are both allowing the marriage. So the native should get married in this Dasha itself.

The Bhukti lord is Saturn, Saturn signifies 7th cusp through ownership and in fact aspects 2 7 11, all the cusps required for marriage. Mercury's starlord aspects the 11th house and also owns the 11th house. 

So Bhukti lord and Bhukti lord'ss sublord are also allowing marriage. So the native should get married in this Bhukti itself (up to Oct 13, 2016).

The ongoing Antara is of Ketu. Ketu signifies 3 9 8 12...so none of the 2 7 11 required cusps are indicated. So marriage not possible till Oct 8, 2015 till current Antara ends. Thereafter Venus Antara begins.

Venus is not only a natural significator of marriage it is also signifying the 11th house through ownership. Venus is in the sub of Mercury which signifies 11th cusp through ownership of its starlord. Therefore fixing of marriage is possible this this Antara which runs till Jan 12, 2016. So now the prediction time frame has been brought down to about 3 months.

Now we need to fix the exact date using transits. For KP transits it is said that "when any planet transits the sign owned by the Dasha lord and the star owned by the Bhukti lord, the event fructifies". Since Sun is also one of the "any planet", KSK considered Sun as the planet to be considered. 

However, I am going to consider the original statement of "any planet".

The Sign-Star combination of Moon-Saturn is available in Cancer from 3:20 to 16:39 degrees. So I have to examine if any planet transits this region of the sky between Oct 9, 2015 to Jan 12, 2016.

Since all planets are already on the other side of this cusp, the only planet that can do so is the Moon. Moon does so on:

2 Nov 2015, 30 Nov 2015*, 27 Dec 2015.

* Notably, on this date 3 planets that can offer marriage Mercury, Saturn and Venus are transiting their natal positions and also transit Mercury is within one degree of Natal Mercury. So both Nadi as well as KP conditions of transits are getting satisfied. 

So this is a set of three days that I have identified for the native's marriage getting fixed.
