Obstacles to a Love Marriage in the 5th and 7th

The 5th lord in the 7th, the 7th lord in the 5th, or the two lords conjunct or in exchange, is the classical shape of romance becoming a spouse. Rahu with the 5th or the 7th often marks a match the family did not script. That is not automatically an obstacle. It is an unconventional path. The obstacle appears when the 2nd lord, who rules the family's voice and purse, sits with those lords or aspects them by a malefic graha, or when the 5th lord is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th so the romance itself is in a dusthana. Two people can love under a sound 5th and still face a 2nd-house family. Read the 2nd separately from the 5th. They are different refusals.

Saturn aspecting the 7th delays the wedding more than it forbids the love. Mars in the 7th is Mangal heat, which families sometimes treat as a ban on love marriages in particular. The ban is a custom. The chart fact is heat and haste. The 4th house is the home that has to make room. A 4th lord in the 6th describes domestic argument, which a couple feels as 'the house is against us' whether or not the parents are the 9th-house father. The 9th is the father and the blessing. A damaged 9th with a sound 5th-7th link is a blessing problem, not a love problem. Name which house is actually hit.

If the 5th lord's dasha is running, the romance is the live topic and so is its blockage. If the 2nd lord's dasha is running, the family purse and speech are the live topic. A muhurta cannot be chosen to erase a 2nd lord in the 8th. It can choose an hour once the people have decided. Venus supports the affection. It does not outvote a father. Jupiter's aspect on the 5th or 7th lord is the softening. Look for it before you call the match impossible. Both charts matter. One family's 2nd house is not the other person's will.
