Marriage Timing Is the 7th Lord's Dasha

The 7th lord is personal to the lagna. Venus is the natural significator. A planet sitting in the 7th is a third timer, especially Saturn if it occupies the house, or Mars if the house is Manglik. Whichever of these is the antardasha lord, inside whatever mahadasha, is the active season. Venus mahadasha, 20 years, is the long version when Venus qualifies. The Sun's 6 years qualify only if the Sun is the 7th lord, which is Aquarius lagna, or if the Sun sits in the 7th. A table of ages that ignores these lords is not timing.

Jupiter crossing the 7th, or aspecting the 7th lord, is the transit matchers watch once the dasha is right. Saturn crossing the 7th more often delays inside the same dasha. Double contact of Jupiter and Saturn is a later method and still needs the Vimshottari lord. This page gives no calendar year, because the year is the person's Moon nakshatra balance, not a public ingress. Two people in one Jupiter transit marry or do not marry according to their 7th lords.

A 7th-lord antardasha with a broken Navamsa 7th can be a relationship that does not hold. A late Saturn-delayed 7th with a sound D9 can be the real wedding after years of waiting. Timing without D9 names a season. It does not name a vow. Birth time and city are required, including daylight saving where the city observes it, because a wrong lagna names the wrong 7th lord and then every year is about the wrong graha.
