Choosing a Life Partner: Two 7th Lords and Eight Kootas

From your Moon sign you can see the lunar 7th, a preference of style, and you can see whether the other Moon's lord is a natural friend. That is graha maitri, 5 points, and bhakoot, 7 points, if the sign distance is sound. You cannot see tara, yoni, gana, or nadi until the nakshatra is known. You cannot see Mangal dosha until Mars's house is known from the lagna, the Moon, and Venus. You cannot see the marriage lord until the lagna is known. A family that shortlists by rashi alone has used two of eight kootas and skipped the houses. The shortlist can be a start. It is not a choice.

Their 7th lord must be able to live with yours. If yours is Saturn, a nineteen-year climate of duty, and theirs is Mars, a seven-year climate of heat, the marriage will feel both, in whichever period is running. D9 tells you whether that mix has a stable navamsa 7th. A high guna total with both 7th lords in the 8th is a famous disappointment. A modest total with a Nadi exception and strong D9 is a famous exception to the total. Eighteen of 36 is only the customary caution line. The choice is the whole file, including consent, which no koota measures.

A perfect paper match still waits for the 7th lord's antardasha or Venus's twenty years. Rushing a choice in a 6th-lord period because the rashis looked friendly asks the guna sheet to overrule the dasha. Jyothish SI can compute both charts and the eight kootas when both times and cities are real. A free account can generate each kundli. The life partner is the person whose 7th house agrees with yours in that period. The rashi is one input to bhakoot and maitri, honored and then outgrown.
