Chara Dasha
Cancer 1956 to 1959
Gemini 1959 to 1962
Taurus 1962 to 1963
Aries 1963 to 1973
Pisces 1973 to 1980
The marriage was settled in Aries dasha. The marriage took place in the major period of Pisces which is seventh from Darapada and in the sub-period of Taurus which is the 7th house of the navamsha lagna.
The Role of the Vimshottari Dasha
In the case of the husband the sub-period was of Mars which is the Darakaraka (remember the principle of extension of Jaimini’s karakas to the Vimshottari dasha). The major period was of the Moon, the seventh lord.
In the case of the wife it was the period of Venus which is a natural marriage maker. Here the navamsha lagna is Scorpio from where the seventh lord is again Venus. It was the right period of marriage. The sub-period was of Rahu who, like Venus, is a natural marriage maker.
The horoscope is now being discussed for the tragedy that struck them.
The Tragedy
In June 1980 her husband died in an air accident in Pisces major period which is seventh from Darapada.
In Vimshottari it was Venus-Mercury period. Venus is the sixth lord from Upa-pada and is in the seventh house. Mercury is the sixth lord from Darakaraka.
The horoscope does not promise long married life is what must be understood first.
1. The seventh lord, Saturn falls under Rahu-Ketu axis.
2. The seventh lord from Venus is Jupiter with the Sun, and is being aspected by retrograde Mars and also Saturn.
