Your Parents' Consent and the 2nd House
Your parents' consent lives in your 2nd house of family speech and your 4th house of home, with the 9th as the father and the blessing. Astrology does not win a person over. It shows whether those houses are in a cooperative dasha or in a 6th-lord argument.
Which relative you are actually asking
If the resistance is your mother and your household, read the 4th lord and the Moon. If it is your father, read the 9th lord and the Sun. If it is the family as a chorus, read the 2nd lord. If it is the partner's parents, stop. That is the 8th, the 2nd from the 7th, and it was a different article. Mixing the 2nd and the 8th sends you to charm the wrong household. A 2nd lord in the 11th describes a family that can be moved by a practical gain. A 2nd lord in the 6th describes argument. A 2nd lord in the 9th ties the family's voice to the father and to fortune. The sign is the strategy only in the sense of timing, not manipulation.
The dasha is the window, not a spell
Consent themes are louder in the dasha of the 2nd, 4th, or 9th lord. They are quieter, or harder, in a 6th-lord antardasha. You cannot pull a favorable antardasha forward. You can notice that you are asking during a dispute period and that the chart's easier window is the next lord. Venus and the 7th lord still have to be sound if the request is a wedding rather than a visit. A beautiful 2nd lord with a 7th lord in the 8th is a family that agrees to a difficult marriage. Show them that distinction instead of a rite meant to soften their minds. Their minds are their Moons, which you may not have birth times for.
No method here targets a person
There is no upay for overpowering a parent's will. Thursday or Sunday is attention to Jupiter or the Sun if that graha is your 9th lord and its houses are safe to feed. It is not a compliance device. The partner's chart has its own 4th house about leaving home. Read yours for your family and theirs for their family, with real birth times, and then talk like adults. The 2nd house will describe the climate. It will not cast a vote at the dinner table.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 9th house my father-in-law?
The 9th is your father and your dharma. The partner's parents, as a household, are the 8th from your lagna, being 2nd from your 7th. Keep the two fathers apart until you know which chart you opened.
Can a muhurta make parents agree?
A muhurta times an hour. It does not change their 4th lords. If you do not have their birth times, you cannot see those lords at all.
Which dasha is the asking season?
The period of your 2nd, 4th, or 9th lord, depending on which relative is the question. A 6th-lord period is more often the argument than the agreement.
