The sign Aquarius rises in the ascendant and the Moon, Mercury, Rahu and Ketu are functional malefic planets. The lord of the ascendant is weak as it occupies the twelfth house in the state of infancy. The lord of the seventh house, the Sun, too, is weak as it is in the state of infancy. Jupiter is weak as it is badly placed and debilitated. The lord of the ninth house is well placed in the ninth house but afflicted by Mercury. The functional malefic planet, the Moon, closely afflicts the most effective points of both the ascendant and the seventh house. Mars is well placed in the tenth house but combust.

Let us analyse the navamsa chart. No mooltrikona sign rises. Jupiter is under the malefic influence of Mars and Rahu-Ketu axis in navamsa. Mercury is afflicted by Venus. The ascendant of the navamsa is occupied by the exalted Moon, but both are afflicted by Ketu.

In sapthamsa, the ascendant is afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Jupiter, the significator for male progeny, is afflicted by Saturn and Ketu. The Sun is afflicted by Ketu and Jupiter. Mercury is afflicted by Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

The native is having inharmonious relations with his wife as explained by the influence of the sixth lord Moon in the rasi chart. He is totally selfish. His wife is so unhappy with him that she wanted to commit suicide. The native was married in the dasa of Saturn and sub-period of badly placed Jupiter. With the onset of the main period of Mercury, ruling eighth house, the situation became further grave. The native was blessed with a male child in the sub-period of Jupiter. The child is retarded and a Mongolian child.

The sign Pisces rises in the ascendant and the Sun, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu become functional malefic planets. The planets the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are in their state of infancy and hence weak. Mars, lord of the second, is weak as it is badly placed in the sixth house and is closely afflicted by the lord of the eighth house, Venus. The lord of the seventh house occupies the eighth house and is severely afflicted by the lord of the twelfth house. The lord of the sixth house is in the seventh house in close conjunction with the most effective point of the seventh house. All these planetary influences in the rasi chart indicate extreme afflictions to the happy married life.

Let us analyse the navamsa chart. No mooltrikona sign rises. Rahu aspects and afflicts Mars and navamsa ascendant. The Moon is afflicted by Venus. Mercury and Jupiter are badly placed. Mercury rules the seventh house in the rasi chart and Jupiter is significator for husband.

The chart pertains to a lady who is highly qualified professional and had very strained marital relationship. Due to physical weakness of the husband signified by weak and severely afflicted Mercury, the native was involved with a person of low status for gratification of senses. The close affliction by the sixth lord to the most effective point of the seventh house and the ascendant surfaced persistent conflicts in the relationship. As Rahu is closely aspecting the Moon, the lady became addicted to intoxication and used to treat her husband and other family members in a very shabby manner.

The sign Sagittarius rises in the ascendant and the Moon, Rahu and Ketu become functional malefic planets. The strain in married life is due to lack of progeny. The prime determinant for progeny in this chart is Mars. Mars is weak as it is badly placed in the chart. The most effective point of the fifth house is under the close afflicting influence of the most malefic planet, the Moon. The significator for male progeny, Jupiter, is in the sixth house. Venus, the lord of the house of fulfillment of desires, is weak due to being in the state of infancy.

Let us analyse the sapthamsa chart. No mooltrikona sign rises in the ascendant. Jupiter, the significator for male progeny, is in the twelfth house. The Sun is afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. The ascendant and Mercury are afflicted by Ketu. The Moon is afflicted by Mars.

Due to the weakness of planets becoming ruler and significators for children, the native could not be blessed with a child during the main period of Mars nor in the sub-periods of Rahu and Jupiter in the main period of Rahu. The native was suggested performance of propitiatory measures for the afflicting planets and strengthening measures for the weak planets to augment the prospects of the fifth house, and she was blessed with a male child. In such cases, without the support of remedial measures, the chances of birth of children are very few.

The sign Sagittarius rises in the ascendant and the Moon, Rahu and Ketu become functional malefic planets. Rahu-Ketu axis exactly afflicts the most effective point of the seventh house. The Moon, becoming determinant of marriage, is badly placed in the chart in the state of infancy. Venus, the sub-period lord, is weak as it is in the old-age and occupies the debilitated navamsa. The weakness of Venus was the factor causing delay although it signified marriage in two ways i.e. by occupying second house in D-1 and ascendant in D-IX. The significator for husband, Jupiter, is well placed in the fourth house. Mercury ruling the tenth house is well placed in the first house.

Let us examine the position in navamsa. Virgo rises in the navamsa ascendant and its lord, Mercury, is badly placed and afflicted by Mars. Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu afflict the navamsa ascendant.

The first marriage of the native, which was celebrated in the main period of Ketu could not survive. The sub-period of Venus in the main period of Venus was in operation when the author was approached for indicating the prospects of the second marriage. As Venus is occupying the ascendant in navamsa, its sub-period was considered to be fit for the second marriage. The propitiatory remedial measures for Rahu, Ketu and Jupiter were advised which helped in the celebration of the second marriage. For birth of children and harmonious marital life, strengthening of Venus and Sun were suggested later. The lady has been blessed with a male child and a female child. The couple is enjoying the married life happily.

The chart was cast for the time of the query for marriage of a female of 35 years of age who is somewhat ugly in appearance. In the prasana chart the lord of the fourth housesignifies the marriage. The significator for husband is placed in the twelfth house with the significator for sex, Venus. The fourth lord aspects the fourth house ruling peace of mind closely.

Navamsa ascendant was occupied by yogakaraka, Mars and the lord of the second house, Mercury.  Jupiter and Venus occupied the tenth house of navamsa in Taurus. The Sun is exalted in the ninth house of navamsa.  The subperiod of Venus was in progress in the main period of the Moon in the prasana chart.  Sub-period of Venus, which occupies tenth house in its own sign in navamsa, and is significator for sex was considered good for her engagement during this period. The remedial measures for Rahu, Saturn and Ketu and for strengthening of Jupiter were suggested. The engagement of the girl was finalised in April, 1988, during the sub-period of Venus in the main period of the Moon.  The marriage took place on the 22nd of June 1988. The system's approach now propounded will not recommend for strengthening of Jupiter. But in case of utter weakness of the planets as a last resort, sometimes, even a functional malefic planet might have to be strengthened for desired results.
