Hey! This is a really nice question! For this questions, we’ve got to see a bunch of stuff, and let’s work our way through them and then get to an example! We’ll obviously keep it as brief as we can, since as I always say, it’ll take us a good phD thesis and more for each and every position.

Firstly, which planets are your atmakarka and darakarka? It’s important to see this to relate to the qualities of each planet and their relationships with each other. Saturn would behave very differently with Venus, as it would with Jupiter. So it’s important to know which planets. Further, we have to see if the planets get along at all, even regardless of a chart. Saturn and Mars? Eh tough match, but still a lot to see, this would cause a lot of fights in general. Venus and mercury? Pretty good, happy and prosperous relationship. Further, certain planets conjunct can form certain yogas together, for example mercury and sun will form Bodh-Aditya yoga in addition to their roles as atmarkaka and darakarka, so it’ll bleed into the relationship too!

Secondly, which house is it formed it? What is the ascendant of the chart where it’s formed? What sign is it formed it? What are the house rulerships of the atmakarka and darakarka planets? You see, if the ownerships of the atmakarka and darakarka is a trine (5th,11th or 9th house) or a Kendra (1st,4th,7th or 10th), and they are conjunct, it’s the formation of a raj yoga. Which type? We won’t know we’ll enough, but they will bring prosperity in different forms depending on which kind it is. Even better if the conjunction occurs in a Kendra house itself! Further, if the rulership is of a malefic house is here (6th,8th or 12th) and the conjunction occurs in a malefic house, we’ll get vipreet raj yoga which would reverse fortunes (we can see it as marriage will get you from rags to riches or visa versa depending on different aspects).

Similarly, a chart will have maleficent or benefits depending on the ascendant of the chart other than general ascendants. Like for Taurus a, Jupiter will be malefic despite being a natural benefic. So a malefic and benefic conjunction is bad, similarly with degrees you can see who will be the dominating party and so on, obviously darakarka will be lower so it’ll be leading the conjunction here, but through nakshatras we can see who will be in better dignity.

Let’s go with an example, say your atmakarka is Jupiter and your darakarka is moon. They’re sitting in the 10th house, in Gemini. The ascendant becomes Virgo naturally here. Let’s say moon is in mrigshira at 2’ and Jupiter is in punarvasu at 27’.

Firstly, a gaj-kesari yoga is formed here, so we can see that through the spouse the 10th house of career and reputation will be activated. Your soul purpose and meeting your spouse will be largely material and your spouse’s family will be cardinal in (4th from 7th house) forming your character, especially his mother. You will also see that your father will be important in your relationship with your spouse, your father will also benefit from the marriage. Your Jupiter (punarvasu here) will be a caretaker and go through tribunals to serve your karma (like Lord Ram), you will also have tribunals related to your spouse and their image in the open. Your spouse may also travel a lot and be very deep into research, their life purpose may be to research or find a cure to something, maybe even as their career. They will also pay karma to you by form of supporting you through the tribunals you face.

Heyy

I like tall skinny guys 😂 saturn gives a good height, and bone structure. And they're usually the ones who don't put on too much weight so they won't get lazy on you and let themself go. Saturn is about discipline after all.

I'm sorry but we don't tolerate saturnian hate on this blog 😂 even when some place with cap/ Aqua placements drive us crazy

Let's unpack this - firstly, If saturn rules your 7th house I don't think you'd find someone with saturnine features unappealing.

Idk, I personally find the lean skinny saturn build really sexy? I have saturn in the 7th.

7th lord is in Rohini which is ruled by the moon. So they could have softly rounded features. Or since it's saturn in Rohini, they may have had braces at some point and have a really pretty mouth / set when you meet them.

Rohini is venus and moon ruled so they'd be better looking than the average saturnian placement. More rounded and charming. Softer. I think they would take good care of themself. Saturn is very very concerned about public image. That's why saturn doms are usually so respected. They take care of how they dress, walk, eat, act, behave. They're so conscious about themself. I wouldn't worry about them being unattractive. They may not be the hottest person in the room like venus / Mars /sun doms but bleh. You've got saturn - moon a d venus at work. I wouldn't worry about them not being nice to look at.

I have a venus, Jupiter and mercury (darakaraka) in my 7th house in vedic chart in uttarabhadrapada nakshtara. And Mercury in 7th in navamsa chart. I had the question what does the uttarabhadrapada mean in terms of spouse, because from what I know all the three planets which indicates marriage in are in Saturn nakshtara and Saturn is not a good planet in terms of results in vedic.

I also wanted to confirm if this means an older partner or not because the mercury as darakaraka and in 7th in navamsa I also felt they are going to be younger but uttarabhadrapada changes it all for me ? How does this combination work in your opinion?

💗

Who told you Saturn doesn't give good results, I'll punch them lol /hj

Nakshatra wise, Saturn ruled ones are considered the most auspicious, and good for you I know a bit about Uttarabhadrapada because it came up while I was researching my moon's nakshatra (Purvabhadrapada).

It's especially considered auspicious for material wealth, though the twist here is that while Purvabhadrapada learns to leave material for spiritual wisdom, Uttarabhadrapada seeks in the spiritual in the material, which might be a cause of dissatisfaction in their end regardless of how much they have. Pisces mercury in general is not good for the traditional mercury stuff by itself, but you have exalted Venus (Pisces venus right? Lol) and Jupiter in it's own sign, I doubt you have to worry about negative results. Unless your DK is touched by Saturn by aspects, I wouldn't say you'll have a significant age difference tbh, simply having a Saturn ruled nakshatra doesn't entirely qualify as having an older spouse.

Hola ☺️

we look at the D1 which is your basic birth chart, and the D9, a divisional chart to see how your planets are supported. The D9 may not feel relevant up until you get married, activate long term contract or you're 36. The more you work on your nodal purpose, the stronger your D9 resonates

Right off the bat this is someone

who takes WORDS very very seriously.

Your word should be as good as a promise. Theirs are. Righteousness. Emperor energy. Provider. Your dk in cancer : they're very emotionally sensitive. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Purva phalguni Nakshatra.Arjuna from Mahabharata. Single minded focus. Direct. Intuitive. Emotional reactions/intelligence

So you've got quite the stellium there in ardra which is about starting over post storm. It's awakening to cruelty and learning to deal with it. Your 7th house falls under Sagittarius ( Purva Ashadha Nakshatra).

♐This Nakshatra is about idealism, keeping to a noble moral code. Your ideal partner is someone who could be religious or spiritual. They're fair and always do the right thing. There's a real sense of duty, charm and authority. (sun, Jupiter, venus) Probably a spiritual leader or comes from a family of priests / local authority figures. Since your 7th house is in Sagittarius, and Jupiter is in purva phalguni there's a really high chance of them having a high work position.

🤴Something about holding a seat of power. Could work out of bed/ couch. (purva phalguni is represented by the front legs of a cot)

♒♌The ruler of your 7th house, Jupiter is in LEO.7th from it is aquarius. This indicates that you could meet your spouse in a tech environment or while volunteering on a social welfare project. You may also meet them online, say in a chat forum, oon a dating / matrimonial site, or even LinkedIn?

💫Jupiter in the third, you may have gone to school, lived in a similar neighborhood as a child. They're sharp, witty, intelligent and have a playful, confident aura. This is someone who lives the limelight. Lifepath 3 or this may be a significant number for them and you since you're also a Gemini rising. They feel their best when they get to shine.

Does the house and sign in which the darkaraka planet is placed (and the planets in them) have any significance on your future spouse/ the way you meet them?

For reference, I have a sun darakaraka in my Taurus 12th house, along with Mercury and Mars.

Does that mean my fs might have Taurean qualities (etc.)?

Thank you if you take the time to respond to this ❤

Yep, they could have major Taurus placements in their birth chart - sun, moon or rising

Because of this you guys could have important 12th house synastry since your sun is in the 12th.

I've noticed that some couples have similar aspects in their chart.

Oh? I think it's the same with the basics, you have the foundations of astrology that you have to learn through the vedic perspective, and then the nuances of seeing the various layers of it. The only problem is that there's so many little things that make up the entirety of vedic astrology that they more you learn, the more it feels like you're a noob at it 💀 but I have to say, vedic astrology helped me understand life so much better.

It goes into the nitty gritty of explaining a lot.

Which planet is your darakarka in? I also have it in Taurus, but it's my sun.

So, basically darakarka is the significator of the spouse, since it's the opposite of atmakarka in a way. The lowest degree holding planet in in your chart is considered the DK while the planet with the highest degree is your Atmakarka (atma = soul, significator of the native's soul/self), it's a very easy way to predict how your spouse is going to be like.

Considering that your DK is in Taurus, your future spouse is going to exhibit Taurus qualities but this is where the planet can be really important, it acts like a filter for the actual results. A Taurus sun DK is going to be different than a Taurus venus or moon DK, it's also important to look at the nakshatra of the sign to see if it's compatible with the planet. For example, I have sun as my darakarka but while it's in Taurus, it's also in the nakshatra of Krittika which is more of less "" ruled "" by the sun so it's a bit more beneficial in a way. My spouse will likely exhibit more of sun related traits than the venusian ones, likely a vibe relating to Leo or Aries if I had to give an example, though of course, you have to consider how the planet is doing by itself. Which house it is in, which aspects are being received.
