Dear All,
I have a really vexing question that is almost eating me up. The issue is whether I should marry or remain a bachelor and I am speaking more from an astrological perspective.
I have cancer lagna, jupiter in the 1st house but the 7th and 8th lord saturn is in the 2 nd house. Now while Jupiter has an aspect on the 7th house i.e. capricorn it would be a fallen aspect and I am not sure how much strength can be attributed when a planet aspects a house where it is debilitated. I have read else where that for cancer ascendants if saturn is in the second house it would lead to divorce as the 2nd house is 8th from the seventh and it could lead to separation from the partner.
I have little understanding of the navamsa or as to how to interpret it.
Given that a lot of them assign divorce when saturn is posited in the 2nd house for karka lagna should i even try to marry. It could not only disturb my peace of mind but also destroy some one else's life.
I would grateful to get any astrological insights from any of you in this forum as that would put an end to the agony I am going through.
Should I marry or remain a bachelor?

Dear vish123,
I have had a very cursory look at your D1 and D9 charts and overall they seem to be quite good. In fact there are a number excellent yogas in your D1 charts (they have to be substantiated however by the other significant D charts to be fruitful).
Regarding your question on marriage....I cant see why you are so scared of marriage. Your 7th house lord Saturn is in Leo which is not the best of places for it but then that does not make marriage impossible or disastrous. In fact the 7th lord being in your second also suggests that your wealth will be augmented by your spouse. There is an aspect of Rahu in the 7th house but do not worry as the full aspect of Jupiter on that house will help to counter any negative influence shed by Rahu.
The position of Venus is also good in your D1 chart and a well placed venus in a man's chart (I am presuming you are a man
) indicates a happy marital life.
I do not know about any theory which speaks of the aspect of a planet in its house of debilitation as being weak so I am not too sure when you say that Jupiter wont have a significant impact on your 7th house.
Moreover your navamsa chart too is quite stron. the sevent lord in your D1 chart is placed in your lagna in the navamsa chart in a friendly house. In the D9 chart the 7th house lord Jupiter aspects the 7th house which is also a good sign.
So I dont see why you shouldn't marry. And furthermore I would just like to add one thing. Even if one has a chart predicting excellent marriage there will be the inevitable differences between the spouses and also phases of difficulty. Deciding to spend your life with someone else is a significant undertaking and requires in itself a lot of understanding, compromise and self sacrifice. Thus I think apart from the astrological indications your attitude towards marriage too is a significant element which will decide how well or ill your marital life would be. Have a positive attitude and make the plunge. Here's wishing you luck

Thanks Auro. It is comforting to know that marriage may not turn out to disastrous. I was married mainly because I have read else where that karka lagna people generally have a tough marriage for instance, personalities like Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Prince Charles have had difficult marriages where either they have lost their partner too early , had major differences or got divorced. Further, if I am not wrong there was a discussion on this forum itself about the role shani and the possibilities of a divorce in case he is the lord of the 7th and is posited in the 2nd house.
My concerns got augmented when I read something like this being proposed in another article.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate that you took out time to examine my chart and really comforting to know that atleast I do not have to fret about this issue.

Thanks Shrikanth.
Yeah, you are mostly right when you say that I am an introvert and keep to myself. Although I get into positions where there are opportunities to be in the public gaze I retract quickly. I am a professional lawyer, had opportunities to be in public gaze but all of a sudden chose to pursue a Phd in law and in the last 3 years I have largely been alone. Don't know how this is reflected in my chart. I got a scholarship to study abroad and I accepted it but little did I realize that the place where I am heading is the least appealing to my taste. I largely abhor some aspects of western culture which is a significant part of the city that I currently live in. Almost so sick of seeing people being indulgent in degrading activities that I feel like quitting and moving out of the city. I prefer people who have respect for culture and tradition with an inclination for fairness and justice and I like to associate myself with such people.
I chose to move away from commercial lawyering even when I started working and opted to work for the rights of the people who are deprived of the basic health facilities. This enabled me to travel outside and also receive some media attention but as I said out of the blue I opted to go in for a phd which is a more lonely exercise. This happened at the beginning of my JU/ Sa antardasha.
I am still enamored by my option not to pursue a career in commercial lawyering despite my father being involved in it. I think to a large extent what you say about ketu effect and guru's aspect on it could reflect this in my life choices, although I yearn for money, success and glamour like any ordinary person but my choice at times baffles me.
On the second issue that you raised regarding aspects of saturn, mars, sun and mercury on aries (think you meant on taurus) I feel this is what makes me worried all the time. I am never relaxed and keep fretting and worrying all the time. Yes, you are right that I am concerned about my marriage as I am already 31, still doing a phd. I feel that I am not settled in life and question myself as to whether I should go ahead with marriage plans. Although I yearn for family and the warmth of a family life, the thought of incompatibility and given my penchant for more traditional values kind of raises doubts within me as to whether the present day modern girls would opt for someone of my mindset.
Don't know whether this gets reflected in the chart but I think you are definitely on the mark when you say that the possibility of the exalted moon being aspectd by so many malefics could delay issues related to marriage. If not any thing atleast the mind is worried on issues related to marriage which at times results in me being indecisive.
