In a female nativity, Jupiter is the natural significator of marriage, while in a male nativity Venus is the natural significator of marriage. We will now try to know who are those Jupiter and Venus and their characteristics. Jupiter has a very high place in the planetary kingdom as well as in Hindu mythology as Jupiter is looked upon as a planet of very high moral value. Jupiter is also named as Guru means preceptor. Jupiter is also synonym to Goddess Laxmi (the female deity of wealth) and Kuber (the male deity of wealth) according to Hindu Mythology. Venus, as we all know, is symbolic of sex albeit with numerous other good virtues. Sex should not be defined as bad or vulgar. There is no denial to the fact that sex is an integral part of human life and for that matter for all living beings whether macro or micro organisms. The existence of this living world would be at stake without sexual relationship between masculine and feminine. Sexual debility is not a positive health condition either astrologically or medically. Now, please try to understand the importance of Venus.
Besides symbolic of sex astrologically, Venus is a very knowledgeable and benign planet as well as a planet for beauty and patience. The strength and good position of Venus is must for a healthy married life with a supporting hand from an unafflicted and favourable Sun (the planet for vitality and self respect). Apart from Venus, Jupiter and Moon provide us saner sense and also promote sense of mutual respect and understanding among the married couple. Jupiter and Moon, if strong and unafflicted, make us to respect social values and teach us to live within the ambit of established social norms. In a nativity, the prominence of Venus (the planet for sex), the Sun (planet for bad egoism when afflicted), Mars (the blunt planet for courage and strength, who gives loose temperament when afflicted) and Rahu (wicked and witty planet, who does not respect social diktat) coupled with weaknesses to Jupiter (the planet for senar sense) and Moon (Moon is the significator of mind) deviate one from the established moral path and make him or her ventures for gratification. What an astrologer can do in such a circumstances? This is a million dollar question. My answer is very positive and simple. Go through them minutely. The natal chart compatibility of the prospective bridegrooms by an expert astrologer can avert such problem well before the marriage at budding stage itself. Even after marriage, such unwanted situation can be put under check in the guidance of an expert astrologer.
