Delay in Marriage: Astrology and Remedies

You see your friends getting married, and you keep wondering when you will get married. A delay in marriage does not mean that you are unlucky, it’s just that you are being prepared for the right time. It just means that you are not ready for marriage yet. And you need to work on yourself before you start looking for a partner. It can make you feel as if you are being left behind. But that is far from the truth. In this blog, we have discussed delay in marriage astrology reasons, and remedies.

​

Astrological Reasons for Delay in Marriage

​

There are 12 houses in astrology, where each house shows a part of your life. And your 7th house represents your spouse, partnerships, and marriage. To check the timing and quality of your marriage, you’ll need to look at the 7th house and the position of the 7th lord.

​

Saturn in the 7th House

​

Saturn is a slow-moving planet that shows restrictions. Wherever Saturn sits, events in that house get delayed and happen only when you are mature. In the 7th house, marriage is late, as you are looking for a stable, long-term relationship. You want to feel completely ready before you commit to a relationship.

​

Rahu / Ketu in the 7th House

​

Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets, and when they are in this house, it shows that there is going to be something unique or questionable in your marriage.

​

• Rahu here creates an illusion of chasing a perfect partner. And your high expectations lead to delays in marriage.

• Ketu in the 7th house makes you feel detached in relationships. Where you feel alone even when you are with your partner and see marriage as a limitation.

Afflicted or Weak Venus

​

Venus rules over love, beauty, and relationships. When Venus is weak, it makes your relationships complicated. It gets hard to find a partner, or you keep going from one relationship to another. A weak Venus also shows you don’t feel worthy of love, so you try to please others and get disappointed when your feelings are not reciprocated.

Manglik Dosha

Mars is a high-energy planet and shows passion in relationships. But when it is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses, it disturbs the stability required to maintain relationships. Marriage is delayed until you learn to balance your emotions, anger, and impulsive nature.

​

Affliction of the 7th Lord

​

When the lord of the 7th house is debilitated (weak) or combust (next to the Sun), it shows a delay in marriage. Also, when the 7th lord is placed in these houses, it creates challenges in relationships.

​

• 6th house: There are legal issues or daily fights in marriage
• 8th house: It is the house of keeping things hidden, so you are never able to understand your partner completely, or relationships end unexpectedly
• 12th house: You are likely to be in a long-distance relationship or go through losses in relationships

Remedies for Delay in Marriage

​

If marriage is taking longer than you expected, then don’t worry. Vedic astrology also gives remedies that help you balance your energies and clear past karma. Helping you attract the right partner at the right time in your life.

​

Venus Mantra

​

When the sound of a specific mantra is repeated, it works on your subconscious mind. Clearing any self-limiting beliefs and negative emotions that you have been holding on to. Chanting the Venus mantra “Om Shukraya Namah” 108 times every Friday. Helps boost your confidence and charm.

​

Fasting

​

When you fast with the right intentions, it helps to detoxify your body and declutter your mind. Fasting on Fridays aligns you with the energy of Venus and reduces its negative effects. Cleansing the negative energies from your life.

​

Donations
