What Love Astrology Can Tell You
Love astrology is the branch of Vedic astrology that answers questions about love, romance and marriage. It can describe what your spouse is likely to be like, whether you are likely to meet the right person soon, how faithful you and your partner may be, and how your married life may unfold – including family life and the prospect of children.
It also shows what you are like in love: the qualities you bring to a relationship, the kind of partner you are drawn to, and the challenges you are likely to face. In astrology, wherever there is a problem there is usually also a remedy, so a clear reading of your chart helps you work with your strengths instead of against them.
Many young people in India still feel shy about discussing love with an astrologer. MoonAstro explains the subject simply and openly, so you can understand the planetary patterns behind your own love life.
Venus in the Horoscope
Venus is the planet of love, attraction and pleasure, so its position has a strong effect on your luck in love. A strong Venus makes a person popular with the opposite sex and good at making friends. A weak Venus – placed in an unfriendly sign or afflicted by a malefic planet – can make it hard to start relationships, and may lead a person to choose the wrong partner.
Venus gives its best results in Taurus, Libra or Pisces, and in a Kendra (angular) house. Such a placement usually brings a happy love life and a fulfilling marriage. When Venus is weak, the main remedy is to strengthen the 7th house and its lord.
Mars in the Horoscope
Mars governs passion, desire and energy. Its position and strength show how a person behaves in relationships and how strongly they seek a partner. When two people are being matched, comparing the placement of Mars in both charts is an important part of checking compatibility – it is also the basis of the well-known Manglik check.
The 7th House and Its Lord
The 7th house is the house of marriage and partnership. A strong 7th house lord usually means happiness in love and married life. If the 7th lord is joined by malefic planets, it can point to disappointment or betrayal in love. A malefic planet placed in the 7th house itself often brings friction in the relationship.
When Saturn is placed in, or linked to, the 7th house, finding a life partner can take longer, and marriage is often delayed. The delay usually brings a more mature and lasting relationship once it arrives.
Jupiter in a Woman's Horoscope
For men, Venus is the main significator of the life partner. In a woman's chart, however, Jupiter represents the husband, so a well-placed Jupiter points to a good and supportive partner. Venus still matters for romance and attraction in both cases. These patterns have been observed consistently across many sample charts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why have I not found a partner yet?
A weak or afflicted Venus, a troubled 7th house, or the influence of Saturn on the 7th house can delay relationships. Your love report shows which of these apply to you.
When will I meet my life partner?
The timing of love and marriage is read from the dashas (planetary periods) of Venus, the 7th house lord and, for women, Jupiter, together with current transits.
Who is my ideal partner?
The sign and planets connected with your 7th house describe the nature of the partner you are most compatible with.
Why do I keep getting hurt in love?
Malefic planets joined with the 7th lord or with Venus can bring repeated disappointment. Identifying them is the first step towards the right remedy.
