Explore astrological reasons for delayed marriage. Learn how planetary positions, karmic patterns, and life choices can affect your wedding timeline.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi
Everything is set to get married, yet nothing seems to be moving. Is it something from your end or the planetary combinations delaying your marriage? Don't be surprised, as many times, a person, due to a diverted focus on professional and other personal /family reasons, misses the right cycles for getting married. This resonates with thousands who seem stuck in an endless cycle of delays in marriages. Once this happens, normal efforts to get married at the right time become marathons, and sometimes, desperate efforts for marriage.
Some silently witness the others, including the younger ones, moving ahead in life and might miss further cycles of getting married. Others spiral deeper, trying to understand: why is my marriage getting delayed? What are the reasons for late marriage? When will I get married?
There can't be just coincidences or single reasons for delay in marriage and a person not getting married. The reasons for delay in marriage are far from coincidental/or a single reason. They are interwoven with karmic patterns and celestial timings. Your birth chart, especially the 7th house and its planetary positions, clearly outlines whether one is likely to experience early marriage, late marriage, or go through a complex journey riddled with obstacles and delays.
The answer to the question 'Why is my marriage delayed?' or 'Why am I not getting married?' needs further explanation. Let's pick and reply to some questions here.
Will I Ever Get Married
Astrologically, marriage prospects are present when the 7th house, with its Lord, along with Venus or Jupiter (depending on gender), is placed well. If these are affected or deficient, there might be a critical slowdown or even refusal. A good astrologer should examine all these combinations from the D-9 Navamsa Kundli alongside the Lagna chart for verification. The placement of malefic planets in the seventh house is surely responsible for delayed marriage. The placement of malefic planets in these houses can complicate the matter, and many such astrological combinations can delay marriage. A good marriage astrologer can tell you about the reasons for the delay in marriage. However, do not be satisfied if the astrologer considers only the Lagna chart, because the Lagna chart remains unchanged for approximately two hours, whereas the Navamsa kundali changes every 10 to 12 minutes. Once the Navamsa chart changes, all planetary combinations in one house flip to another house or houses, so how can predictions be correct?
When will you get married
When will you get married? To some extent, it also depends on the person's intent. There are periodic marriage cycles in each horoscope to get married. To know when a person will get married, the transiting Venus and Jupiter play a significant role. Many astrologers may overlook this important aspect. A good marriage astrologer, checking the different combinations seen for marriage, can surely tell when you will get married? For this, a deep study of the Seventh house, its Lord, along with Venus and Jupiter, is seen to know when you will get married. With the help of planetary dashas and favourable transits, the timing for marriage/marriage predictions can be given. However, as explained above, sometimes, due to personal reasons or professional preferences, the person overlooks the priority of getting married. In that case, marriage timing predictions are likely to fail.
Yes, there is one situation where one does not have a favourable dasha of either Venus or Jupiter, or the 7th house lord is not supportive, resulting in a delayed marriage. This holds true irrespective of one's readiness on either the social or emotional fronts.
What can one do for early marriage
For early marriage/to avoid delay in marriage, the first step is to determine the precise planetary hindrance that is holding up a person's marriage.
It may be an indicator of Mangal Dosha, Combust Venus, a feeble Moon, or a heavy-handed Saturn.
When these obstacles are deciphered, an astrologer can suggest dos and don'ts and some simple astrological remedies to avoid further delay in marriage. Here also, one should follow the simple suggested remedies on one's own, rather than relying on Pandit Ji, etc., by simply spending money. In my opinion, following the latter method would further aggravate the complication.
Could career be hindering marriage plans?
Yes, to many people's surprise, too much focus on the career can delay a person's marriage. A potent 10th house or firm Saturn can make a person excessively career-driven and overly focused on advancing in their field, resulting in career causing delay in marriage. This is becoming an increasingly significant factor for career-oriented women. Nothing wrong, but one should understand, for career advancement, we have life, but if we miss the right marriage cycles, we are displeasing the planets responsible for marriage. Repeated ignorance of the cycles for marriage can have an adverse effect on the 10th house. Mind you, the seventh house (house of a good marriage) is secondary to the 10th house (the house of profession) and ignoring any house at the cost of the other can cost dearly. Also, in a horoscopes where Saturn strongly aspects the 7th house, marriages are usually postponed or declined on account of karmic burdens from past life deeds.
Some other reasons for delayed marriage
Let us briefly understand the reasons for delayed marriage.
1. A prominent Mangal dosha in a horoscope can cause delays in marriage, as people may ignore proposals from a Manglik person. Here, also, note that over 50% of people who understand/ are declared Manglik may not actually be Manglik. While this dosha is dreaded by many, its severity is not uniform; hence, it is advisable to seek tailored professional guidance to understand the presence and effects of Mangal Dosha.
2. Venus-Rahu or Moon-Ketu combinations in the chart often symbolise some unresolved emotional bonds or karmic debts that may exist and can cause delay in marriage. Emotional release, combined with some form of divine intervention, helps clear out these blocks.
3. In some horoscopes, marrying someone outside the described caste, country, or societal expectations becomes a destined reality. This largely occurs when Rahu is placed in the seventh house, or when the 7th lord is positioned in an unconventional sign. So, if your destiny reads a spouse like this, why ignore and delay the marriage?
4. From an astrological perspective, stagnation at the final hurdle often results from Rahu's influence, an affliction on Mercury and its miscommunication tendencies, or obstructions from the 6th house.
5. Shared karmic debts in both siblings' charts with blocked 3rd or 11th houses can create interdependent lags.
These circumstances can create last-minute challenges that seem like self-sabotage, but are, in fact, karmic and cosmic trials. But no worries, there is a solution to this.
