Navamsha Chart and Relationship Life

Since the time I started in this profession, if something I maintained consistently is my view on disassociation between Astrology and Marriage as a Social Institution. I assertively and forcefully mentioned in last 10 years that Marriage is a Social Institute and it has no connection with Astrology. Whatever connection people have made between Astrology and Marriage, is made due to selfish interests from all the sides. Let’s first understand this much in some detail then I will try to convey what I want to convey through this article on Navamsha Chart and Relationship Life.


1.So, let’s assume that X person is looking to get married in a Society like India. Then what all criterias will be looked by that person or for that person by his family members? As per my experience of dealing with people in last 10 years, the criteria would be Caste, Religion, Region, Country, Bank Balance, Property, Dowry, Two Wheeler/Four Wheeler and Face Value etc. As I see, these are the main reasons for which people either say Yes to someone or No to someone.


2.But thankfully, none of these reasons are astrological reasons. There is no astrology rule which says that if person is not of your Caste then don’t marry them or if person doesn’t have a Car then don’t marry them.


3.These are basically social rules and you change your society, your rules for marriage will change. In western society, they prefer that person should not be involved in Drugs or Guns etc. Now again, there is no astrology rule which says that if a person is into Drugs, he/she cannot get married.


4.Also, there are many societies where institution of marriage is not even required and people live their whole life together without feeling the need of officially getting married to each other. So as I said, ou change your society, your rules for marriage will change.


5.And most of the times, we decide our marriages due to these reasons only. At the end, we say Yes or No, largely on these criteria only. In my knowledge, it never happened that a Guy had said that he will marry such a girl who is going through Venus Mahadasha or a Girl had said that she will marry such a guy who has Venus in own sign in 7th house. So, when your criteria itself is not astrological then why to bring poor astrology in between? On another note, just contemplate over it that if castes/religions/languages/regions are main points to decide marriage then what is Racism then?


6.But then why this connection between Astrology and Marriage? Reasons are two-fold at least -


i. People don’t want to take responsibility of their decision of marriage. Hence, they seek an astrologer, who can take decision on their behalf. So that, if anything goes wrong in their marriage then they can blame that astrologer.


ii. And obviously, the 2nd reason is from astrologer’s side that marriage and horoscope matching consultations generate a huge revenue for them. There are many astrologers I know from my home town who lived their whole life on the basis of these two consultations only. They take benefit of ignorance of people and their indecisiveness.


iii. So, this connection between Astrology and Marriage serve both sides. Hence, this connection continued.


Then where Astrology can be helpful in this matter?


a.Astrology can help us only up to the timing of relationship/alliance and what challenges a person may face in relationship or with the ways to counter those challenges positively.


b.But astrology can never help us in knowing the exact timing of getting married as that depends on Social Circus.


c.Likewise, astrology can help us in knowing challenges in relationship, timing of tough times in relationship but we cannot say for sure that person will take Divorce because it is also a Social Phenomenon. People drag their dead marriages throughout life for reasons like Stigma, Finance, Children etc.


d.Again, the abusive marriage which may sustain throughout in Eastern World, may not sustain a month in Western World.


e.So, as Marriage and Divorce both are Social Phenomenon, Society and Social Conditions keep a higher hold over these matters rather than astrology.


f.Finally, I am not the follower of that logic that if someone is getting married on basis of social conditions or someone is looking for Dowry to get married then it must be in his chart then only he is doing it.


g.If we follow this logic then there is no evolution possible because then whatever anyone is doing in his life must be in his chart only.

So, if someone is robbing a bank then why to complain? It must be in his chart then only that poor guy is doing that. By this logic, God or Existence becomes the biggest culprit.


h.Also, if someone wants to advise me about reading Ancient Astrological Scriptures then please go through this article - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/sce.


So, from above discussion, one thing is sure, at least for me, that Astrology and Marriage as a Social Institution has no connection with each other. Astrology can help in relationship matter, in finding the timing of relationship or challenges you may face in relationship or the ways by which you can overcome those challenges.

Now, why I wrote all this before writing about Navamsha Chart?


As we know that in online world, Navamsha Chart and Marriage have almost became synonyms. Navamsha is considered, by most of the astrologers, as the main chart of marriage and spouse. But as discussed above, when Astrology itself has no connection with marriage then there is no way how Navamsha will have any connection with marriage as a social institution.


This is why, I always considered Navamsha Chart as the chart of our righteous life path as it is coming out of 9th house and 9th house is the highest of Dharma House. This is what I wrote in my earlier articles on Navamsha Chart - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/d9lifepath and https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/d9read .


But then recently a thought came that just like astrology has relevance with relationship and can help in relationship matters, so Navamsha should also indicate something about relationship or relationship life. Hence, this analysis -


Navamsha Chart - Now, from where Navamsha Chart is coming into existence? It is from diving 9th house of your birth chart in 9 equal divisions. This is why, it is called 9th Divisional Chart.


9th house - Now, what is 9th house of D-1 chart? 9th house is normally considered as the house of luck, fortune, religion, philosophy, higher education and teachers etc. It is considered as the most auspicious house. Now, what can be its connection with Relationship.


5th house - 5th house is house of initiating a new relationship. So, if I just meet someone for 1st few times then it is a matter of 5th house.


7th house - 7th house is main house of committing to someone in relationship. So, if I commit to someone then it is matter of 7th house.


3rd house - Now, pay attention. 3rd house is house of expression. Original 3rd house is house of communication, interests, skills and travelling etc. These are the ways by which Self (1st house) expresses itself. Likewise, 3rd from any house is expression of that particular house.


7th house - As 7th house is 3rd house from 5th house, we can say that your committed relationship is expression of your initiating love/romance in 5th house. In other words, we can say that love/romance matters gets expressed through committed relationship.


9th house - Likewise, 9th house is 3rd house from 7th house. So we can say that, 9th house is expression of your 7th house of committed relationship. Or, we can say that your 7th house of committed relationship gets expressed through 9th house. It means that the quality of your committed relation will express (3rd house) itself as to how much lucky or fortunate (9th house) you feel in your overall life. We can also say that you following your righteous path in life is the expression of efforts (3rd house) made by your partner in relationship (7th house).


Navamsha - Now, if Navamsha Chart is coming out of 9th house, which is expression of relation/partner as discussed above, them Navamsha should also show Expression of Relation/Partner in Life. We can also say that Navamsha shows the level of luck or fortune, or lack of it, you feel from the efforts, or lack of it, from your partner.


This is the only connection I found between Navamsha and Relationship Life (either before or after marriage) but this is important and helpful in understanding the relationship life of native.


Again, I don’t say that Navamsha Chart or Astrology in general, has any connection with right time of getting married etc.


Last but not the least, events in life will still happen through Vimshottari Dasha we go through and we can apply the same dashas in Navamsha Chart to understand events in relationship life. I will still like to see Birth Chart and then any other chart for any kind of consultation.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
