What the Chart Can and Cannot Say About an Ex Returning

The 7th house describes the spouse and the kind of alliance. Venus describes the capacity for union. A dasha of the 7th lord or of Venus makes partnership the live topic again. That topic can be a new person, a reconciliation, or paperwork left over from the old bond. The chart has no field for a message history. A transit date sold as the day a named ex will call is an invention, and none is given here.

Check whether the 7th lord and Venus sit in their own signs, in exaltation, or in a kendra, and whether Jupiter aspects them. Then open D9. If the separation itself fell in the antardasha of Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu on the 7th, the next antardasha can change tone, because a mahadasha is not one flavor. Rahu's mahadasha is 18 years. Venus antardasha inside it lasts 18 times 20 divided by 120, which is 3 years. That slice is not the whole Rahu period, and it is not a reunion order.

A return is a decision by two people. Your 7th house cannot see their conduct. If their birth time is known, their 7th lord and running dasha are a second reading, still short of a promise. If their birth time is unknown, stop at your own partnership timing. Guessing a lagna for them invents a chart.
