Worried parents of a female child came seeking answer to a volley of questions: “What’s there in my daughter’s course of destiny that her marriage is not coming about despite our best efforts during the last couple of yearsIJ She has already completed 33. Many a times, we came close to arriving at an agreement with the boy’s side, but failed at the last moment. Some pundits are of the opinion that the girl’s chart is cursed, which needs to be addressed through specific pujas. How do we believe that these pujas could change the character of her cursed chartIJ Guide us, how to go about.”
At the outset, let me make it clear that astrological charts simply reflect upon probable course that life may take in emerging times, in accordance with one’s own Karmic accruals carried over from the past. The very idea of an astrological chart being cursed is flawed. There are clear astrological pointers to the fact that she is due for a delayed marriage and not before 32/33. And even that is purposeful. Perhaps, she needs enough of time and space for having had enough of exposure to the realities of life. Following which, she may become matured enough to handle the intricacies of marriage with relative ease and comfort.
Remember, every individual is born unique, each reflecting varying mind-trends, often at variance with others. And marriage happens between two corresponding opposites. Yet, they have to be in accord with each other, overriding each other’s individual limitations. Therefore, a lesson in inter-personal relationship skills is called for, which may let you relate well to each other ignoring each other’s few shortcomings. Many a times hardened attitudes of the partners stand in the way. It, therefore, becomes desirable to work upon one’s limiting tendencies before getting married, which is often time consuming. For, habits die hard. And it is difficult to digest that belief driven puja performed by a pundit can change a person’s attitude.
In the above context, a brief look into how a being’s destiny is made out becomes imperative. Remember, memory impressions pertaining to the experiences one goes through during a life time, sets the premise on which the next life takes off. Say for instance, if one has an early marriage, which goes through rough patch. Such persons will wish for marriage at a matured age during the next life. The paradox, however, is that how your life is pre-programmed before you take birth, doesn’t remain in our consciousness. But, such pre-programming can on no count be termed as a curse. It may kindly be appreciated that the course of destiny is not bound by societal norms either. It always has an individualistic bearing. True, going by the usual societal trends, her marriage seems unduly delayed. But that’s how her life is programmed.
let us now look at the girl’s destiny pointers and her habit tendencies. Mark the presence of Jupiter, the natural signifying planet for a girl’s marriage. In retrograde motion, it occupies its sign of debilitation, coinciding with the marriage signifying seventh house. Retrogression of Jupiter implies that she has to address implications of certain Karmic carryover from the past birth, before she gets married. WhatIJ Jupiter is ill-disposed off to mischievous Neptune, which implies that she carries peculiar self-defined beliefs, even distanced from ground realities. Jupiter is also opposed to intelligence signifying Mercury posited in the lagna. Mercury too is adversely placed to Neptune, which accounts for her insensible reasoning and judgment. She would be full of internal conflicts, not knowing how to go about in life. lagna lord Moon occupies a fixed sign, which is opposite Uranus. The obvious implication is that she has a mercurial temperament having a hardened attitude. Mercury again is ill-disposed off to limiting Saturn, which speaks of a fixated one track mind. Emotionally oriented Venus is locked in adverse formation to Uranus and the Sun, which in the first place implies that she would be emotionally volatile. Second, she carries strange views about love relationship. Unless she addresses these attitudinal problem, it will be difficult for her to get along with her partner.
Now in terms of time frame, Jupiter is marked with 32 years and Mercury with 33 years. For, going through the lessons of life, she is expected to have become street smart, worth intelligently negotiating the callings of life with relative ease and comfort. An early marriage for her could have been a disaster. For, she would not have been as accommodative, as she would be now.
