Though Saturn might be difficult to understand as a spouse or relationship planet, Saturn is merely describing the qualities of your partner, not necessarily the quality of the marriage. If you have Saturn Darakaraka, you have just as good a chance at a happy marriage as anyone else. But, as always, the condition of Saturn in your chart shows whether you’re getting more positive or negative qualities of Saturn in a partner.
If Saturn is your DaraKaraka, your spouse is going to be markedly “stamped” with Saturnian qualities. This could be Saturn on the ascendant, Saturn conjunct their Sun or Moon, or having a strong Capricorn or Aquarius influence. Their Sun, Moon, or ascendant will be in either of those signs, or their soul planet could be Saturn. As a planet, Saturn values discipline, simplicity, and staying power. These are some traits you can expect your spouse to have.
You yourself have very practical reasons for choosing a marriage partner, such as education, finances, or status. You also have deal-breakers and more rigid criteria for choosing partners than most. Learning how to be more adaptable and accepting in relationships is one of your lessons.
Saturn is about perseverance and duty. This gives a dutiful spouse capable of being in it for the long haul. If your Saturn is good in the Rasi and D9, it gives great longevity to a marriage and the ability to stick through the rough times. Saturn DaraKaraka often gives an older spouse (around 7 years older). As the planet of delays, marriage usually happens after 30.
Always check the rasi and bhava your DK is placed in. The sign that rules the house your Saturn is in will be part of your spouse’s personality.
Check Conjunctions and Aspects to Saturn DaraKaraka
Remember that conjunctions and aspects to your DaraKaraka planet will have a strong influence. For instance, if Mercury is conjunct your Saturn, you’ll have a more creative and communicative spouse. Mercury’s influence gives a great friendship between you both. Venus also helps Saturn and your relationship by giving a sense of purpose and romance.
Saturn has more enemies than any other planet, which means there is a greater chance your Saturn could be afflicted by enemy planets. Sun, Mars, Moon, all hurt Saturn in conjunction or aspect. The more hurt Saturn is, the more you’ll and your spouse will feel weakened by insecurities and negativity. Saturn in a friendly sign or receiving help from friends will be more resistant.
As always if you have any questions on Saturn Darakaraka feel free to ask.
What can i expect from my spouse with saturn in dhanishta(aquarius portion) pada 3, and in 8th house? My venus is in vishaka pada 2 also.
Hi Ty, it’s always helpful when DaraKaraka is in good dignity, (as yours is). Though if your Saturn is in Aquarius in the 8th, that means your 7th lord is going into 8th. As you probably know 7th lord going in a Dusthana indicates more lessons around partnerships – though Venus in Vishaka/Libra certainly helps, and it’s Rasi aspecting your Saturn DK, which helps even more. The ruling planet of Vishaka Pada 2 is Venus, that puts more of a focus on creativity and wealth in Vishaka Nakshatra. Dhanishta also translates to “steady wealth” and since the 8th house is the house of other people’s money, well, there seems to be some concurrence there. Dhanistha can give high expectations. The wise will tell you the key to a happy marriage/relationship is not to have any expectations. This is true, my friend. You’ll need to examine your Venus and DaraKaraka and 9th house in Navamsa for more details. Take care and thanks for visiting.
Thank you for the article, I really love it. I have saturn as my darakaraka but I still don’t undestand about many thing (because astro vedic is more complex than western system). Would you mind to give me some explanation about my saturn? I have Saturn as Darakaraka placing in First house (capricorn, sravana pada 4) conjunct Moon. And my saturn is my ascendant lord that placing in First house. Thank you, I hope you share more article 🙂
Best regards
Noviany
Hi Noviany, based on the information you gave I can say that your spouse will also have some lunar/Cancer qualities in addition to Saturn, this is because Cancer/Moon rules your 7th house and Moon is conjunct your Saturn DK. They may be more emotionally centered. Capricorn Ascendants (especially with Saturn on Asc) need to learn to let go of their rigid expectations for themselves and having a more heart-centered partner (like Cancer) helps with this. Its placement in the 1st house can mean your spouse helps you on your life path, They may also gain inspiration from what kind of path you follow in life and try to do the same thing as you. One thing that happens a lot with the 7th lord in 1st house is that partners come to you – you rarely have to go “looking” for a partner.
How bout if Saturn’s is darakaraka in 2nd house dhanista nakshatra Aquarius sign along with mercury and sun in uttara badapadra nakshatra all 2nd house for Capricorn lagna, 7th lord moon in 11th debilitated anuradha nakshatra , Venus exalted in 3rd in revati, Very heavy Saturn influence please how might my future wife be if anyone can help 🙂
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My Saturn DK is in 6th house in Dhanishta Nakshatra pada 3, so it ends up being exalted in my D9 chart In 2nd house. BUT it’s retrograde. If my DK is retrograde does that mean marriage will be bad?
Hi Rachel, nothing to worry about with your DK being retrograde, when it comes to Jaimini’s charakarakas techniques, retrograde isn’t a consideration. Looks like your Saturn is in good dignity in both the natal and D9 chart, so that’s good. You can also consider your 7th house and 7th house lord.
Hi Brooke, I got Saturn in Libra D1 (2.3 degree – Darakarka) and again in Libra in D9,D10 (23, 21 degree).
In D10 it’s conjuct North Node and in D1 it’s conjunct Jupiter, Sun(Debilated), Venus.
I’m 36 male, and have had many relationship (wrong) issues, how does it affect my marriage?
Should I look for marriage or channel a different path of life?
If there is a possibility, what traits will suit my partner the best for a harmonious relationship?
Please suggest. Thanks.
D1 – Scorpio Ascendant. (Mercury Atmakarka, Jupiter Amatyakarka).
Saturn in 12th House (libra) but in 11th house (per Placiddius House calculations).
D9,D10 – Capricorn Ascendant. Both have Saturn in 10th house.
D9 – it’s alone with Mars in 4th house aspecting it.
D10 – conjunct Rahu (North node).
Hi Gill, thanks for visiting.
The trouble you’ve experienced has to do with your 7th lord (Venus) being in the 12th and starved by Saturn. The DK gives us insight into the personality of the spouse and some info on fulfillment, but for actual marital happiness, the 7th lord and Venus should be looked at for men, as well as in the 9th varga and Venus in D9.
I have worked with and seen the effects of 7th lord in 12th, it can become disheartening. Even relationships that start off well and have good compatibility will somehow come to an end. The person could suddenly have to relocate somewhere, or they’re hiding some kind of addiction or other 12th house issues. Saturn starving Venus indicates a fate of partnerships that require more work than enjoyment. Your Saturn and Venus are in good dignity, so you understand that relationships take sacrifice, but the problem is that it’s never a fair exchange. Can this be improved? Yes, of course. But relationships have to be revisited after some personal growth, so focus on following your inspiration and gaining a sense of purpose and confidence from that.
It’s a big topic and there’s a lot that can be said about improving one’s relationship capacity and how to choose a healthy partner. We all tend to choose a partner who, in some way, reflects our own complexes and emotional health, whether good or bad.
Hi Brooke,
I am an Scorpio Ascendant with Saturn as Darakaraka in Capricorn (3rd House of D1) and 7th Lord Venus exalted in Pisces with Saturn mahadasa ruining now. In my D9 Navamsa Chart, I had Venus in Libra as Ascendant with Saturn as Vargottama placed again in Capricorn.
Can you please shed some insights on my wife to-be? In particular, how fair she would be and will she be earning a job with a handsome package and from what family background she will be from (noble, rich)?
How will be my marital happiness in future and compatibility between us?
Hi Brooke,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My Saturn DK (3 degree) is in 3rd house in Aquarius Dhanishta Nakshatra pada 3 Conjunction with Mercury in Purvabhadrapada pada 1 and Mars in 7th house in gemini, venus in pisces conjunct with sun in 4th house here venus is exalted and also combust, In d9 chart
Aries ascendent, Mercury in 1st house, Saturn in 7th house and Lord of 7th house venus Conjunction with sun in 9th house?
would you mind give me explanation regarding what kind of spouse will i get, her profession, or how compatible we would be?
I am a male, Btw,
Thank you,
Regards
Kinn
Hi Kinn, thank you reading. Knowing spouse profession and fulfillment from spouse requires more time looking at a chart. I don’t give these answers in comments because it would be irresponsible of me to try to come to a conclusion without the appropriate time AND making sure I am looking at the chart using my calculator/ayanamsa. That being said, your DK being in 3rd house and conjunct Merc, and having Mercury ruling your 7th puts an emphasis on Mercury (or Gemini) being part of your partner’s traits in addition to Saturn.
Hi!
Thank you for your article, it is very interesting and helpful for me.
My DK is Saturn in dhanista nakshatra in Aquarius in the 3rd house and in D9 I have Saturn exalted in Libra in the 4th house(cancer ascendant D9) what do you think about those placements? Thank you for your help!
Thank you for this lovely article Brooke! I’ve been hopelessly in love with an older man (12 years older) and have no courage to tell him at this point, we have been friends for a while and he is a relative from my sister’s in laws side of the family. So I’ve been thinking a lot about him and been learning to study my chart through vedic principles for many years now.
My questions: How are does my DK and marital timing look as per my chart according to you? How might this affect the likelihood of my relationship being a success with him?
DOB: 25-Oct-1991, 10:41 PM, Abu Dhabi UAE. (his DOB is 8-June-1979, place/time of birth not sure, either Toronto or India)
D1 chart: Gemini Asc (punarvasu 2), Taurus Moon exalted (Krittika 4), Debilitated Sun in Libra (swati 1), Combust Mars in Libra (swati 2). Jupiter and Venus conjunct in Leo (p. phalguni 1 & 3). Saturn in 8th house capricorn (u.ashada 4), Rahu Ketu in 7/1 axis.
Currently running my Rahu-Mercury period.
**Saturn is my Darakaraka, Mercury Atmakaraka, Venus Amatyakaraka.
D9 chart; Taurus Asc, 7th (scorpio) lord Mars exalted in 9th capricorn, DK Saturn is conjunct with Moon and Ketu in 11th Pisces. Jupiter is my vargottamma as it remains in Leo. Venus is in it’s Mooltrikona 6th house of Libra. Nothing debilitated here so I take that that’s a good sign.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but I see that you’ve been replying to comments recently and would love it if you could share your insight. God bless you and the work you’re doing.
Hi NR, if you don’t mind I’ll follow up with you via email. I’ll use the one you submitted with your name and question. Take care.
Thank you Brooke I would love that.
Brooke I would also like to know whether the Darakaraka changes based on which partner you are currently at? Or does it remain the karaka for your legally wedded spouse? How are other partners seen through the chart? I know in the Jaimini system other partners are seen as UL1 / 2 / 3 etc (8th from the original UL is the next spouse and so on). Does this apply to DK as well? How are other partners even seen at all? What if you were never married to them but lived with them for a significant amount of time or dated them for a long time? How is that seen? Is that all determined through your 5th house, but not 7th because you were not married?
Dear Brooke,
Thank you for such amazing article. I am young man that has never really been in a serious relationship. My DOB is 16/10/1996 at 9.30 AM, I was born in Maribor, Slovenia (country). I am tula lagna and in Navamsa I am aries ascendant. Saturn is my DaraKaraka and is in the 6th house conjunct with Ketu in Uttarabhadra (Pisces) and my Venus is in Purva Phalguni in 11th house in my natal chart. In Navamsa my Saturn is in the 6th house conjunct with Jupiter and Sun in the sign of Virgo, while Venus is in Libra in 7th house in Navamsa. I would just like to know if I will ever be able even to meet someone and get settled down or will I remain single for the majority of my life :). If you could give me any insights about my Saturn I would be delighted. P.S. If my dasha gives any more information I am currently running Ketu Mahadasha and the last phase of Sade Sati (I am Anuradha Moon). Thank you once again.
Claud
Hi Claud, thank you for reading, I hope you’re doing well. During the rest of your twenties, I suggest focusing on yourself, discovering who you are and what you stand for, and cultivating true self-love and confidence. Whenever the relationship with the father is difficult we carry that heaviness with us and it’s like you have to figure out everything for yourself in life – including how to have a happy/healthy relationship. You’ll have to heal some things within yourself first before drawing the right woman to you.
Any love we were missing as children, and whatever issues around self-worth we have, relationships become the arena where we try to heal those wounds. Most often it gets messy and painful.
I should let you know that because I do tropical zodiac, the rasi signs your planets fall in are different for me, but placements and aspects are the same, and in this case Saturn is still your DK. You won’t be alone, but it’ll take some time. Follow your inspiration instead of where you feel lack. Take care!
Hi,
Following are my broth details and I am still unable to find suitable girl for marriage. I have visited almost 100 astrologers and everyone keeps giving dates on which I never got married. Saturn in my dk and birth details as follow 14-nov-1985, 00:20 AM Mumbai India. Can you please help by when if I will ever get married?
Hi Nikunj, based on Jaimini’s Upapada technique to gauge marriage (and double checking in the Rasi, D7, and D60 per Jaimini’s instructions) it shows marriage in Rasi and D7, but not in D60. Usually, when that happens a person can be close to getting married a few times but there can be an interference of some kind, possibly family. But, there’s still more showing marriage than not.
Keep in mind I use tropical zodiac with middle of mula ayanamsa, so there are some differences in how I calculate charts. For instance, according to my calculator, your DK is actually Venus.
Take care
Hello Brooke,
My DK is Saturn and I’ve recently ended my first marriage to a man 2 years older than me. I am involved with another man who is 10 years younger than me. All my relationships seem to involve long-distance/foreign/faraway individuals. My birth details are as follows : 7 March 1980, 12:55am, Penang, Malaysia.
I’ve been reading about Darakaraka in Saturn will see me having an older man as my spouse. Is there ever a possibility that it might be a younger man BUT with certain elements in his chart that indicates the characteristics/qualities of a spouse of Saturn DK?
many thanks.
Hi Mia, received your email. Following up there!
Wow, such a nice explanation. My darakaraka is Saturn and it is placed in the 8th house in Aquarius sign, along with Mercury. I am a Cancer ascendant and Saturn is a malefic for me. Does Saturn’s placement in own sign imply that my spouse (as Saturn is both the 7th lord and darakaraka) is going to be bad for me? Also, in my D9 chart, Saturn is exalted in the 9th house. What qualities can I expect in my spouse and when can I expect to be married? My DOB is 29th March 1993, 2:55 PM, Hyderabad, India. Looking forward to your reply..
Hi Kalyani, you might want to check out the chart calculator I added to the site – those are the calculations I use. Your DaraKaraka is actually Sun in Aries in the 9th house. Using just the basic techniques/principals of your 7th lord placement and dignity, Darakaraka dignity and placement, and Jupiter’s dignity and aspects in D7 and D9 it looks like above-average fulfillment from spouse. Your Moon/Ketu conjunction can cause you to hold back your true emotional needs which can be difficult for relationships. If you’re interested in your own relationship capacity, you can look into the reports I added to the site. As far as more details on qualities of your spouse and timing, that information I can only cover in readings, not becaus I want to be stingy – I just don’t have the time to answer comments in such depth.
The article is very nice and very informative! I have Saturn as my Darakaraka, my Saturn is in Aries (Ashiwini nakshatra pada 1). So Saturn (darakara) is debilitated in my chart and it’s Vargottama, so debilitated in all of my divisional charts. Saturn is in 5th house in my birth chart accompanied by the Sun and Mars. This inevitably makes my 5th house a war zone filled with very aggressive planets that hate each other! In navamsa, Saturn takes the 12th house in Aries.
What can I do ? Do I deserve to have hope or should I not ? If I end up finding someone, is the person going to be like a military women lol ? What should i expect, if you can pls help me out?
Hi Abinaan, yes it’s tough to have those three together, but it’s a rather small piece of your chart as a whole. I can tell you though that your ability to recognize and choose a good partner comes down to your self-esteem and emotional maturity/health. Do you find happiness on your own? Do you use your time wisely and take responsibility for your actions? Are you pursuing something that aligns with your natural talent? Those are some things men can do to build the confidence and security they need. If your DaraKaraka is indeed a debilitated Saturn with Sun and Mars, then yes power struggles and conflict are possible, but you also need to consider your 7th house, 7th house lord, and Venus in Rasi and D7, and D9 charts.
Also, I really think you should try the calculator at the top of my page for a “second opinion.” Those are the calculations I use and have attuned myself too. You can use whatever calculations you want, but as far as giving advice to people I only take responsibility when they are using that calculator. Peace and thanks for reading!

Best regards,
Thank you,

Hi SD, I received your other comments as well, the comments need to go through a filter before getting posted. Anyway, I’m sorry you’re going through these health issues. Some years ago I had some hive breakouts that lasted several days, on my face/chest – I felt truly miserable and I can’t imagine having to deal with that chronically. You have a very hot constitution that will require special care and diet throughout your life to stay balanced, I’m not sure what kind of treatment you’ve sought, but Western medicine is notoriously bad for treating skin problems that often come from underlying issues and constitutional imbalances.
There’s a lot of leadership potential in your chart as well as an intense/intelligent personality, honestly I think that might be the cause of some of your high turnover – interpersonal skills. Do you get along with coworkers/bosses? If you want to talk more about career, please email me.
Take care
I have Saturn in 0 degrees Pisces in the 7th house in my D-1 chart as my DK, I’m Virgo rising BTW. Also, in my D-9 chart I have Cancer Rising conjunct Saturn and Ketu very close all three in less than 3 degrees in Pushya. I was wondering what my marriage life will be since I feel like my husband could be someone from a past life with this placements in my Rasi and Navamsa. I feel it’s rare to have in Navamsa 7th house lord conjunct Ketu and Asc in less than 3 degrees. In Rasi I have 7th house lord Jupiter in Scorpio in anuradha in 3rd house. I heard that anuradha means total devotion and love.
My DOB IS 19 SEP 1998 AND TIME 6 30 AM NEW DELHI , INDIA .
IM INABLE TO FIND OUT MY DARAKARKA .
Hi Nirbhay, your Atmakaraka is Sun, and your Darakaraka is Saturn. Happy almost Birthday!
Hello, I have Saturn as darakarka in ascendant at 0°29” in Sagittarius sign. Saturn has conjunct mercury at 3°, Sun at 5° and moon at 9°. I have had an failed engagement in the past. Can you please help me with kind of spouse I should look for? Older than me or 5-6 years younger than me? Personality traits?
Hi Brooke,
Many thanks for writing this excellent article. Highly appreciated
If I may ask, I’d like to know if I will ever be able even to meet someone and get settled down. If you could give me any insights about my Saturn, that’d be much appreciated.
It seems Saturn is my Dara Karaka and is placed in the 5th house in Libra, in Lagna chart and in 1st house in Scorpio in Navamsa.
My birth details are as below:
July 16, 1983
4:00 AM

Hi PK, the key for you will be to be more positive and less critical of yourself. Getting more in touch with Venus will also help, as that helps connect with women and understand what they need. There are a few indications of a tendency to focus on flaws, both in yourself as well as others which will spoil your own joy and acceptance of yourself and eventually make your partner feel bad. You are SUPER smart, and smart people can change anything they want with some mindfulness. Read The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. The Astrology does not deny marriage, but karmicly you’re meant to develop yourself, as you have already spent a lot of time in partnerships.
Peace
Hallo Brooke,
thank you for this informative article.
It is really nice of you that you answer all the questions.
I have retrograde Saturn in 10th house of Aquarius and there are no aspects with other planets.
Now I would like to know if a retrogade Saturn has some opposite effects like my partner would be 7 years younger or so?
And is it true that Saturn will always delay the meeting of my future partner a lot?
My birth deatails would be: 02 SEP 1993 AND TIME 11 21 PM SCHWAZ, AUSTRIA.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer the questions.
Best Regards,
BF
Hello Benjamin, in the Jaimini Karaka system no significance is given to retrograde, it’s not used in this particular technique. The age difference is a possibility with Saturn DK because as a planet it represents older people, but this is not a hard rule. What is more likely is you will have a spouse who has a strong Saturn influence, especially since your DK is in the 10th, the house of Capricorn.
For example – I have a good friend who is getting married soon, her DK is retrograde Saturn and her partner has Saturn on his ascendant with an Aquarius moon. So, he is very Saturnian. He is also 9 years older, so in her case the age thing proved to be true, but it’s just a possibility.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Brooke,
I wish you a really good day. Your article is really beautiful and elucidatory. Thank you for that.
I have DK Saturn in 5th house in the sign of Pisces with no other planet. I also have Saturn in 5th house in Cancer in my Navamsa chart.I am a woman and always have been drawn to older men than me. But, I have never been in a relationship before. I am losing my hope… What can you say about my future husband (if I can marry any) and my marriage age?
My birth details are : July 07, 1995 —-19.04 PM Istanbul, Turkey
Hello Brooke, amazing article on darakaraka. I am aries ascendant with Saturn as my DK. In D1 chart it in Capricorn in 10th house conjunct north node (RAHU) in uttarshada nakashtra (pada 2) and in D9 chart DK saturn is again in capricorn in 3rd house. I also have my 7th lord venus exalted in Pisces in revati nakashtra conjunct moon. Could you share some insights about my life partner? How she would be ? how would be our relationship/marriage ?
Thank you so much for taking time out to answer my question
thanks nick
Hello Brooke ❤️ I wonder if I will ever marry :/ my birth details are : 5 april 1985 at 10.55 a.m glarus/switzerland thank you for your website
Thank you all for the recent comments. This is a busy time of year for me so I am unable to answer any questions that require chart analyse in comments, however you’re welcome to book a personal session with me! Thanks for reading
My darker aka is Saturn in 2nd house Aquarius and atmakarak moon in cancer in 7th house with mars. How is my marital life ahead
Hi Brooke, I have Saturn as darakaraka conjunct north node in d1 and in d9 my Saturn conjuncts moon which is also my atmakarka. My dob is 16th Dec 1990, 11:30am, India.I feel relationships are not a thing for me. What is your and astrology’s take on this?
Hi Neha, thank you for visiting my site. Just a reminder that I use tropical zodiac, so in my calculator you are a Mars Atmakaraka and Venus Darakaraka. Still, even using tropical your DK is still conjunct Rahu. You left out birth city in your details, so I don’t know your lagna. If you’d like to email me that detail feel free.
Hey Brooke ! So i found that my Darakaraka Saturn is in Ashwini with Sun and Mars in Bharani. So yes, all this fiesta is happening in my 6th house in Aries. Anything quick you can share about this placement for my Saturn darakaraka ? Always appreciate your work !! Thank you and hope your having a good day !
Hi Abhi, that points to conflict or power struggles with the spouse, so you’d want to look at all the details to get the full picture. Speaking from personal experience, it’s not all bad, spouse can still add a lot of value but there will be contention to deal with. I prefer seeing a chart before giving answers like this. Thank you for reading and for your kind words!
Hi Dear Brooke,
Greetings!!
First of all thanks a ton for writing so many wonderful articles.
I need some help in understanding things. I have Saturn (retrograde) DaraKaraka in my sixth house conjuct with Rahu and lord of 6th (capricorn) and 7th house.
Is it possible if you provide some more details on it. My DOB is May 30, 1990, Time 11:23 AM, Place- Delhi, India.
Again thanks a ton for all the information.
God bless you!!
Stay home and stay safe!!
Hi Nitish, thank you for your kind message 🙂 I do use tropical zodiac, so for me your DK is Sun in 11th. 7th Lord Saturn in Sixth in Capricorn Rahu in 7th in Aquarius.
But let’s talk about 6th house because that’s influencing your spouse regardless of Zodiac used. 6th house is a Kama house so DK in 6th or 7th in 6th makes one’s spouse heavily involved in those Kama activities of meeting responsibilities. Things like paying bills, doing taxes, taking out loans for homes or cars, handling debts, these issues fall on the shoulders of the spouse. So, it can make a spouse very dutiful, and in some cases overburdened by the work they do. With more positive aspects a spouse can help payoff debts. On the negative side, this is a house of struggle and conflict, so there can be power struggles or a partnership with arguments. You’ll be learning how to effectively resolve conflicts.
There’s also indications that the partner is cerebral, more focused on humanitarian issues, and either has achieved above-average “rank/title” or is somehow in the spotlight.
Take care and stay well
Hello Brooke!!
Greetings!!
I hope you and every one around you are safe and doing good.
Thanks a ton for providing me so much interesting information.
Please take care and stay safe!!

Hello Brooke!
I just started learning about Darakaraka and your article is very helpful! The one criteria I always had for a life partner was that he should be in for the long haul. Turns out my DK is Saturn 🙂 My Atmakaraka turns out to be Sun though. Since Sun and Saturn are enemies, is this terrible?
Hi Madhu! Ooo, no one has ever asked me if planetary relationships play into compatibility. The answer is no, not for this technique. These more speak to soul-level traits we’ve developed.
I liked your article … My saturn is in capricorn conjunct with moon in lagna chart in 2nd house and in D9 saturn is in 11th house conjunct ketu in pisces sign ….
Hello Brooke
Can you please tell me what happens if Saturn darakarka is in the same house with mercury atmakaraka?
The indications of that house will be an area of life you’re both involved in – there is a mutual importance towards that house, or you find some shared interest there.
What if my saturn is conjucted with jupiter in my 2nd house which is afflicted by rahu in the third house? 🙁
Why would Rahu in the third house be afflicting Saturn in the second house? Are they occupying the same sign?
i have Saturn as my darakaraka in my birth chart which sit in 8th house in the sign of Cancer ,nakshatra punarvasu panda 4. my 7th house is empty but my 7th lord is Mercury sitting in 9th house in the sign of Leo. I’m new to this and I don’t know much,I’d appreciate if you help me out! Thank you!!
I’m just curious about my spouse career! any hint about it? thank you!
Hi Pim, attempting to pin down a potential spouse’s career would involve so many overlapping techniques to arrive at a conclusion, especially because people can have a few different jobs in their life. If I were to investigate such a question, I would read your chart upside down, using the 7th house as the ascendant for your would-be spouse and see what that chart said about career. Reading the chart this way is surprisingly accurate about the partner. Hope that helps!
Hi Brooke, i find your article very informative and properly researched. Amazing efforts!
In my D1 chart saturn is my DK sitting in 2nd house Capricorn with moon conjunct … Thus makes my 7th house with gemini sign. I am 1991 born and would like to know how will be my future spouse if saturn is in conjunction with. Also would like to know whether we can use the same technique for D9 chart as well?
Hi Brooke, You are amazing, the research on Saturn DK lord worth a lot, In my case DaraKaraka Saturn is in 12th house (saggitarius) with Mercury & Sun,Cumbusted . Ascendant house is Capricorn and hence Saturn again as Lagna Lord, Venus is placed in Ascendant also.In D9 chart Saturn is in Aries as D9 ascendant House.
DOB:28-12-1987,Time:08:41am,Kerala India. I am still unmarried and curious to know more about my marriage life,if its destined there
Thank You So much & Appreciate your great Efforts
Hi Sharon, so while Jaimini techniques are showing some issues with manifesting a marriage, (like all the pieces haven’t quite come together for you), there are some planets helping in D9 and D7. You gave me the state you were born but not exact city, so this won’t be accurate if the lagna I have is incorrect.
Hi Brooke.. I have Virgo Saturn DK in the 1st house. Would it receive help being conjunct Ketu? I am actually 7 yrs older than my husband. Thanks
Hi! Thank you so much for taking time and helping me out. May love surround you every day! I have my Saturn darakaraka in 12th house in mrigasira nakshtra pada 4 conjunct moon in punarvasu. Saturn is also my 7th lord(as a cancer ascendant) and I have mars in dhanishtha there as my atmakaraka. Can you please give me any advice/share your wisdom?
Hello Brooke, this article made me all the more inquisitive about DK and I would love to know more of your thoughts. 🙂
My DK is retrograde Saturn in Uttarbhadrapada (Pisces) conjunct Ketu in 5th house in D1. My Venus is Hasta nakshatra (virgo) conjunct Rahu in the 11th house in D1. Jupiter is own in 2nd house.
My DK is in Uttaraphalguni (Virgo) in the 8th house in D9. Jupiter in 9th house.
What do you think about the qualities in my future spouse? The good and bad aspects. I’m counting on your wisdom, Brooke. Thanks for taking out the time to read this.
First of all thank u so much for this post .
My dharakara Saturn is placed in the 8th house in Aries sign. Am a virgo Asc .
Should I really get into marriage or relationship?
Hi Akhila, is that based off the calculator on my website or a sidereal calculator? As someone with a debilitated DK in a dusthana house as well – it’s rough. Check for divorce yogas in your chart and how things look in the navamsa. Oh, other jaimini techniques for judging marriage are also good to use. I’ve given people readings that just focus on this subject, if you’re interested. Thanks for reading.
