Love marriage hogi ya arranged? See which classical combinations your own birth chart has — and why.
How it works: the 5th house is romance and personal choice; the 7th house is marriage. A strong link between their lords is the classic sign of a love marriage. Links between the 7th lord and the 9th house (elders, tradition) or 2nd house (family), and Jupiter on the 7th, point to an arranged marriage. The calculator finds these in your chart with the Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa, and shows every one it finds — not just a label.
| Combination | Why it points to love |
|---|---|
| 5th lord and 7th lord linked (together, aspecting each other, or exchanging signs) | Romance and marriage are tied together — the classic love-marriage yoga |
| 5th lord in the 7th house, or 7th lord in the 5th | The partner comes through personal attraction |
| Venus with Mars or Rahu | Strong attraction and passion |
| Rahu in the 5th or 7th, or with the 7th lord | An unconventional choice, often outside the usual circle |
| Moon with Venus | Emotional, romantic attachment |
| 5th lord in the 11th house | Desires of the heart tend to be fulfilled |
| Combination | Why it points to arranged |
|---|---|
| 7th lord linked with the 9th lord, or in the 9th house | Elders, tradition and blessings shape the match |
| 7th lord in the 2nd house, or linked with the 2nd lord | Family brings the marriage |
| Jupiter in the 7th, or aspecting the 7th house or its lord | A traditional, family-approved union |
Both is common
Many charts carry both kinds of combination. That is usually read as a love-cum-arranged marriage — you choose, and the families agree; or an introduction becomes a real attachment.
A chart shows tendencies, not decisions. Whether you marry for love or through family is shaped far more by your choices, your family and your circumstances than by any placement. Treat the result as a conversation starter about your chart, not a verdict on your future.
For when marriage is likely, see when will I get married (Hinglish: meri shadi kab hogi). For the spouse as a person, try the Darakaraka calculator.
