What this report calculates
The Love vs Arranged Marriage Report evaluates the marriage-type indicators in your birth chart through a structured planetary analysis. It examines the 5th house (Putra Bhava — romance, courtship, and the energy that initiates love) and the 7th house (Kalatra Bhava — marriage and long-term partnership), identifying the sign on each cusp, the ruling planets, and any planets placed there.
Key indicators analyzed: Venus's placement and dignity (natural karaka of romance and attraction); Rahu's involvement with the 5th or 7th house (classical indicator of unconventional or cross-cultural relationships); Saturn's aspect on the 7th (traditional marriage pattern); and the strength of the 5th-7th house connection. The Navamsha (D9) chart is also examined to confirm the natal indicators — a strong Venus in D9 amplifies love-marriage potential. The Vimshottari Dasha timeline identifies the periods most likely to bring each type of marriage opportunity.
Classical foundation
The distinction between self-chosen and family-arranged union is embedded in classical Jyotish through the 5th-7th house relationship. The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra describes Rahu's role in producing relationships outside one's social group — a classical marker for love marriages that cross caste, religion, or cultural lines. Jupiter and Saturn as 7th lord or aspecting the 7th are associated with conventional, socially approved partnerships in the Saravali and Phaladeepika. Venus as a strongly placed planet in the 5th house is consistently described as a love and attraction indicator across classical texts.
How to interpret your result
The report produces a marriage-type compatibility score indicating how strongly your chart supports each pattern. A high love-marriage score means the planetary configuration is more naturally aligned with a self-chosen, romance-initiated union; a high arranged-marriage score means the chart supports family-mediated partnership. Most charts show some indicators for both — the score reveals which is stronger.
The Dasha section identifies when each type of opportunity is most likely to arrive. Venus and 5th lord Dashas often correlate with love-marriage initiation; 7th lord and Jupiter Dashas often correlate with family-mediated introductions. The Navamsa section confirms which pattern is more deeply embedded in the chart's marriage layer.
When to use this
Order this report when you are actively considering marriage and want to understand which approach is more naturally supported by your chart. It is also useful when family and personal preferences conflict — the report helps frame the decision in the context of planetary energy rather than social pressure. Use it alongside a Kundli Matching analysis for any specific partner and the Marriage Timing report for identifying auspicious Dasha windows.
Methodology and accuracy
Planetary positions use Swiss Ephemeris-grade data with Lahiri ayanamsa correction. The 5th and 7th house lords are computed from your exact Lagna degree. Venus and Rahu placements are calculated from actual sidereal longitudes. The Navamsha chart is derived from your precise planetary longitudes. Most competing tools assess marriage type from Moon-sign generalizations; this report uses house-specific analysis, Navamsha confirmation, and Dasha timing for a genuinely personalized result.
