Vedic Astrology Compatibility Analysis.
Using Vedic Astrology Principles to Analyze Relationship Compatibility
27 yogas. In an individual’s chart, the Yogi point and the planet ruling the nakshatra it is found in will bring prosperity whereas the Ava Yogi point and the planet ruling the nakshatra it is found in will obstruct prosperity. This can apply to natal planets in the Ava Yogi or Ava Yogi nakshatras and the current transits of planets across them. The natural extension of this principle would be that people who have planets and angles conjunct your Yogi point/nakshatra will bring prosperity and people who have planets and angles conjunct your Ava Yogi nakshatra will obstruct that prosperity. People who have an ascendant that is ruled by your Yogi planet will tend to be favourable for you, whereas the opposite is true for people who have an ascendant that is ruled by your Ava Yogi planet. To illustrate, if my Yoga is sadhya, then my Yogi planet is Venus, and people with Taurus and Libra ascendants will bring luck. However that also means my Ava Yogi planet is Jupiter and people with Sagittarius or Pisces ascendants will tend to block my prosperity or even bring me harm/distress in some cases.
Harry’s Yogi point is 0 degrees Capricorn. His Sun is 29 degrees 18 minutes Leo, so in calculation this is 149 degrees 18 minutes. His Moon is 27 degrees 41 minutes Aries, so in calculation this is 27 degrees 41 minutes. We add the degrees 27 + 149 + 93 = 269, and then accounting for the minutes pushes it to 270 degrees. Capricorn's portion of the zodiac is 270-300, specifically 270 would correspond to 0 degrees Capricorn. Meghan’s descendant axis is 0 degrees Capricorn meaning that Meghan will bring prosperity to Harry. However, Saturn is Harry’s Ava Yogi planet and it is placed in the 7th house from the Moon. This will serve to obstruct prosperity in relationships even though it is helped considerably by being very close to its extreme exaltation point at 19 degrees Libra.
Meghan
In the rasi, Meghan’s 7th house is Capricorn which has Ketu placed in it. Ketu typically causes a sense of lack or disappointment wherever it is placed, and in the 7th can cause one to feel a lack of support or fulfillment from their marriage. Meghan has already been married one time and the marriage was primarily long-distance for the 2 years it lasted. However, because Ketu is her Yogi planet, it tends to bring partners who can assist in her prosperity. Her first husband was well-established in the film industry and she benefitted from his social connections, knowledge and wealth. Marrying Harry will skyrocket her social status and wealth potential, giving her opportunities most people only dream about.
The 7th house is unusual as it is aspected by almost all of the malefics; Sun, Mars, Rahu and Ketu. Rahu-Ketu bring extreme karmic experiences wherever they are found and in Meghan’s case it impacts her marriages. Mercury as ruler of the 12th house opposes the 7th house and while it indicates a foreign partner, can also indicate grief through the marriage. Mercury as dispositor of the 7th house conjunct the Sun can indicate a bossy or controlling partner, but one who is powerful and perhaps wealthy. These factors may cause a sense of burden and indicates a heavy karma in relationships. Fortunately, this load is alleviated a little bit by the trinal aspect of Jupiter. The 7th house ruler is Saturn which is aspected closely by Jupiter and the Moon. Raja yogas bring success and prosperity, and are created with the combination of a trine (1, 5, 9) and angle (1, 4, 7, 10) ruler. This combination of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon brings together the rulers of the 1st, 7th, and 9th houses which is three raja yogas (1st-9th; 1st-7th; and 7th-9th). Saturn as ruler of the 8th house can also bring unearned wealth from her partner in combination with these raja yogas. Mars as yoga karaka for Cancer ascendants because it rules the auspicious 5th and 10th houses casts a special one-way 4th aspect onto Saturn, Jupiter and Moon. This means that the 5th and 10th house ruler combines with the 1st, 7th and 9th, causing numerous raja yogas! It is quite clear that her partner would be someone very special.
Meghan’s 7th house ruler is Saturn and it placed in Virgo which is one of her daghda or burnt signs. In Personal Panchanga, Komilla Sutton observes that malefic planets like Saturn do better than benefics in daghda signs, and that Jupiter aspecting planets in daghda signs tend to make them lose some of their negativity. This means that Saturn even though it is in a daghda rashi is not as harmful as it could be. Further she notes that “daghda rashi shows underlying weaknesses or the inability to get full profit from these issues, but it does not spoil everything.”
Jupiter represents the husband in Vedic astrology. Jupiter is aspected by 3 malefics; Mars, Saturn, and Ketu, and is placed in the daghda sign of Virgo which is inauspicious. Since the Moon is not too bright, many would consider it to be a malefic and Moon is also conjunct Jupiter. Jupiter does rule the 9th house which is auspicious.
In the navamsha, Meghan’s 7th house ruler is Saturn and Saturn is at its deepest degree of debilitation at 20 degrees Aries. This is extremely unfortunate for the happiness of her marriage, while she can marry powerful and wealthy men, the interpersonal experience she has with them suffers a lot. Saturn is conjunct Moon and Jupiter in the 10th house in Aries. Jupiter as representative of the husband is made more favourable than usual by participating in mutual exchanges with Mars in Pisces (Jupiter’s own sign) and Sun in Sagittarius (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, Sun is exalted in Aries). Moon-Jupiter-Saturn brings together the rulers of the 1st, 7th, 9th, 10th houses similar to the rasi chart which causes numerous raja yogas. In this case however Mercury as ruler of the 12th house opposing these planets causes it to lose some auspiciousness. Nevertheless, it also indicates a special spouse who can benefit Meghan materially and socially in many ways.
Meghan’s 7th house dispositor in navamsha is Mars which is placed in the 9th house in Pisces which is favourable but it also loses some favourability by being with the nodal axis. Mars and Jupiter participate in a mutual exchange; both planets are able to function as if in their own sign. The nodal axis signifies fixed karmas that will cannot be changed. Venus is debilitated in Virgo but throws its opposition aspect to Pisces, the sign of its exaltation which strengthens Mars and the 9th house. Venus is helped out of its debilitation by being in a mutual exchange with Mercury in Libra, it doesn’t negate the debilitation but certainly improves Venus’ condition.
The qualities Meghan desires in a partner are well-represented in Harry. Meghan’s 7th house ruler is Saturn placed in hasta nakshatra. Harry’s ascendant in his navamsha chart is hasta. Harry’s Venus is Virgo makes a conjunction to her Saturn. Mercury is the dispositor of Meghan’s 7th house in rasi and is in pushya nakshatra. Harry’s Mercury in navamsha is pushya.
Second marriages are seen from the 9th house, although the 7th house will never lose its influence on the marriage. In Meghan’s case, the 9th house is also the 7th house from the Moon and has always influenced her relationships. The 9th house ruler is Jupiter which is placed in hasta nakshatra and conjunct Saturn and Moon. The combination of Saturn, Moon and Jupiter for a Virgo ascendant brings together the 5th, 4th and 7th rulers in the 1st house, so that is 5 raja yogas created! 1st-5th, 1st-4th, 1st-7th, 4th-5th, 5th-7th. Mars as ruler of the 8th house casts a special one-way 4th aspect onto this stellium of planets, and gives the possibility of gaining wealth through the partner. The dispositor of the 7th house is Mercury which is weakened by being conjunct Rahu and oppose Ketu. Mercury is further weakened by being combust with the Sun, and especially because the sun is ruler of the 12th house. Fortunately, Mercury is in the most auspicious nakshatra pushya. This suggests that even though Meghan’s partners are likely to bring her prosperity and wealth, she may experience sadness, loneliness and suffering through them.
