“Ja Didang Hridayang Taba
Ta Didang Hridayang Mama” 


Connection between two individuals of opposite sex leading to romantic love is not just a modern day affair; the concept existed from times immemorial. Myth has many accounts of such alliances and the two lines above also give us an idea from the expression of love of olden times.

The lines above translates to:

“Where your heart is,
There rests my heart”

These lines are chanted during marriage ceremonies today but they are creations of yester years.

Love is what it is - beyond description, invisible, unattainable by effort, indestructible by force. It is the most cherished offspring of the mind - a feeling that binds different people in the same way.

Human relationship spread over a large area in fact covering each and every aspect of life in society. Just to name a few they are, Man - Woman, Parents – Children, Friends, Boss - Employee, Teacher – Student and so on. Among all of these a very special one is the man-woman relationship. It is not really fare to say that it is the most important relationship but yes, it is perhaps a relationship that gives identity to a person. It is a relationship that makes the man assert himself and make his own nest and become a father; while it is the relationship that brings motherhood to a woman and gives a powerful identity of wife and mother to complete the picture.

The million dollar question remains,” how to make the perfect marriage or meet the destined one”? There are various ways and means by which two people can meet and feel a certain attraction but there has to be distinction between a harmonic match and just attraction actually an infatuation. This can wear off with little time leaving the relationship dry and deserted.

In astrology, we can get great insight into the phenomenon where by there is clear indications. These are predominantly ascertained by planetary positions in the horoscope and by the natural significators or Karakas.

The natural governor of marriage and husband is planet Jupiter for a woman. The same role for marriage and wife is assigned to planet Venus for a man. Any weakness and affliction to any one of these planets can have a direct effect on the marriage scene in the following manner:

Delay in marriage
No marriage connection
Multiple arranged alliances but no success
Multiple love affairs but no stability to lead to marriage
Wrong match
How does a planet in the Vedic sky affect life in this manner? Let us see how the planet Jupiter or Venus’s inadequacies affect this area of life.

When Jupiter is weak or afflicted the following are most common problems.

Marriage delay
Sometimes no marriage
Wrong alliances
Many unstable alliances
Mistaken decisions in regard to marriage
Selfish tendencies
Unwise actions
Subdued desires
Hidden misdirected attractions
Delay in childbirth
Sometimes childlessness
When Venus is weak the following are felt by most:

Marriage delay
Wrong choice of partner
Miseries in marriage
Disharmony in the physical & mental relationship
Problems in the reproductive system
Unhealthy desire for unconventional partners
Insatiable desire for gaining appreciation
Inability to appreciate the finer aspects of love
Incapable of knowing the unspoken massage between two hearts
Immaturity
Crankiness
The above are some of the most common troubles that are faced by people with weak Jupiter and Venus. In an existing relationship or marriage, these planets also hold a major position, if these planets are weak, life brinks on boredom and miseries. There is complete apathy between the two - the partners’ lack of physical and mental connection or concern swings the marital relations dangerously towards the reef.

Such a situation must never be left to its own motion. This is the ideal breeding ground for negative energy.

You can easily avoid such a situation with Gem therapy and self - effort. The correct remedy taken in the right time can bring much good to your life. Astrolife.Com is pleased to gift you with a fine Gold plated Silver chain with each of your Gem order.

Are you in love? Does this quotation apply to you now? Or are you in matured love where this desperate declaration of the quantum no longer appeals to you? 

In any case this counting can never finish. The emotion called love is the only fire that continues to burn even when there is no fuel to feed the fire. You cannot see this flame but this is the true essence of creativity; an emotion that cannot be quantified, compared or bounded in ‘give & take’.

In astrology, the fifth house of the horoscope defines this area of life. Love is like the boundless sky where each morning brings new beginning loaded with different bounties of life. The seers of the Vedic age upheld the glories of this aspect - it is not surprising that we find some of the finest writings on love from ancient times worldwide.

What is love and what lights the spark between two people when there are so many around? A unique spark is all that is required to forge two souls but held together by a delicate thread. To transform this spark to fire the necessary fuel is the sync of the two personalities. If there is compatibility, life is made and the fire nurtures the delicate binding thread instead of burning it down; other wise the spark dies after a short-breathless drama. This dramatics cannot be taught or judged, it is ‘sacrosanct’.

The fifth house is one of the most important houses of the horoscope. It is an auspicious house and favorable planets shower grace to the individual. Inauspicious planets get ample power since they get the chance to ruin two of the most important areas of a person – love and children.

There are many important aspects connected with this house. It shows our creative intelligence, past good deeds, our luck factor and sportsmanship. Other notable aspects of this house are, the recovery power that gives strength and sudden gains that gives prosperity. However there are many other important life aspects that also thrive with the power of the 5th house.

Astrologers look at this house while judging the possibilities of the horoscope. Would the person be happy and content in life in a loving relationship and experience parenthood? Would there be luck and gains, can there be exceptional capacity to breath life into a dead situation? All these and much more can be seen from the prevailing 5th house signatures. A strong fifth house and a healthy ruling planet is a blessing.

The significator or Karaka of the 5th house is the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is the greatest benefic and children are one of his finest blessings; also known as ‘Guru’ and the ruling deity is ‘Vishnu’ the preserver of the Hindu Trinity.

The horoscope has twelve houses and 7 planets are in control of them. The nodes Rahu & Ketu are shadowy planets and they do not own Zodiac signs.

The 9 planetary energies are closely interconnected and there is hardly any area of life that can be taken as completely free of their effects. However the planets that are directly connected, their influence etches the 5th house matters in a certain manner. The person enjoys, acts & displays very specific tendencies in life. I give below some examples.

Effect of Sun on the 5th house can be a source of great power. The person can be a leader, enjoy great discrimination power and can be also royally romantic! The person can be sporty and enjoy good speculation. However if Sun is weak or afflicted, there can be trouble with children loss in speculation and lack of foresight.

Effect of Moon on the 5th house can make the person romantic, intuitive and fond of the opposite sex. If Moon is strong and benefic, there is success in business. Affliction to the same planet can mean trouble with or to children; restlessness and the person may suffer from lack of discretion.

Effect of Mars on the 5th house can be a source of great power if the planet is strong, healthy and a functional benefic. There is exuberance, strong and dynamic health; endowed with virility and aura of great strength is seen in the physical appearance in men. The person would also be sporty, responsible, protective and honorable. If Mars is afflicted, there can be fast intimacy leading to physical relationship and regrets, rash and risky interactions in love affairs and very feeble recovery power.

Effect of Mercury on the 5th house can be most rewarding since Mercury is a natural benefic and very well in sync with intelligence as well as creativity. The planet gives great power of discrimination, makes a person successful in trade & commerce. The person can also enjoy many friendships and may be a little feeble where committing to a strong love affair. On the negative side, an afflicted Mercury can mean, loss in speculation, pessimism, unromantic and over critical. A planet that promotes communication at each level any negativity attached to it may bring great misery in love affairs and matters of striking an understanding with progeny.

Effect of Jupiter on the 5th house can be a blessing in way of high educational qualification as well as endeavors. If the planet is strong there can be spectacular benefits through children, speculation and other things. The person is intelligent, philosophic and knowledgeable. But in case the planet is unhealthy and weak, there can be problems in begetting children, over indulgences in pleasures, indiscriminate romantic interludes and lack of wisdom. This is an unfavorable signature.

Effect of Venus on the 5th house mostly brings out great romantic souls with terrific artistic talents. There can be much success in education and degrees. Speculations can bring good returns especially if Venus is a functional benefic. However if the planet is weak and lowly, there can be lack of charisma, idealistic in love and romance and unappreciative. Love affairs can turn sour and become a constant source of disappointment. Venus being the natural significator of this noble emotion becomes disabled.

Effect of Saturn on the 5th house is not a favorable one. Saturn is a conservative planet and its energy does not sync well with the natural significances of the 5th house. Saturn does not understand the expression of love, and in this house everything leads to expression. The most beautiful expression of love brings children in this world; a spontaneous union of soul and body brings into this world new life. So a contracting planet is unwelcome here.

The shadowy Rahu and Ketu is a pair who is also not welcome in this house. Rahu energy is an instigator and wants more and more. Ketu is unpredictable and its effect can mean unnecessary suspicion, which is something that can bring unhappiness in love.

Love is spontaneous and the quantum of it increases with faith, trust and harmony. But it is never possible to quantify it.
