Example Chart
John Kerry Chart: Marriage and Relationships in Navamsha
Chart Data:
- DOB: December 11, 1943 | Time: 8:08 AM (rectified from 8:03) | Aurora, Colorado USA
- Navamsha Lagna: Scorpio (24°)
- Primary Dasha used: Dwi-Saptati Sama Dasha (Mars in 7th from Lagna = condition satisfied)
- Condition also satisfied in D-9 (7th lord Sun in lagna) and D-10 (LL Jupiter in 7th) — extremely strongly applicable
Marriage Timing in Navamsha (D-9)
Key principle: 7th house of Navamsha = specific spouse. 7th house of Rashi = all relationships.
For marriage timing, check:
- 7th lord in D-9
- Karaka of marriage (Venus, 7th lord)
- Lagna lord (gives new beginning)
- Do NOT use 6th house lord — 6th is 12th from 7th, i.e., loss of marriage/separation
Sun Dasha → Marriage:
- Sun = 7th lord in D-9 Navamsha (7L in lagna)
- Sun-Sun antardasha → 1st marriage in May 1970
Moon Dasha → Separation:
- Moon = 6th lord in 7th house of Navamsha
- Moon in 7th while owning 6th = can cause separation/divorce, not marriage
- Moon-Jupiter Antardasha → wife left (1982-83) because of Kerry's political ambitions
2nd House from 7th = 8th from 7th = Maraka for marriage:
- 2nd from 7th (Leo) = 8th from 7th = house that can end/kill marriage
- Owners of 2nd from 7th AND 6th from 7th can bring separation
Second Marriage:
- 8th from 7th house in Navamsha = Pisces = shows second marriage
- Lord = Jupiter; Mars aspects Pisces
- Mars Dasha → meeting Theresa Heinz Kerry → second marriage
Upada Rules for Marriage
- Upada in Rashi chart = tangible marriage bond; shows actual marital life
- 7th from Upada in Rashi = lord who brings the spouse
- 2nd from Upada = actual bringer of the spouse (2nd lord from Upada → fast on that planet's day and pray to it if not getting married)
Rashi chart Upada meaning: 12th house = what you physically give up. Upada = manifestation of that giving. Marriage = giving up individual identity for the bond of family.
