We have taken into consideration 441 cases, segregated lagnawise. Aspects of Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Mars, Sun and Jupiter have been found on 7th house. Since the aspect of Jupiter, a natural benefic, has also figured prominently for certain lagnas, we could not ignore it. However role of other three benefics viz. Mercury, Venus and Moon was found to be negligible, hence these are not included. Sometimes 7th house has aspects from more than one planet, therefore the sum total of aspects would obviously exceed the total number of 441 cases, whose marriages were spoiled and actually broken.

5. Leo Lagna Aspects on 7th House Plan. 3rd 4th 5th 7th 8th 9th 10thTot. % Sat 5 3 8 16% Rah 3 9 12 24% Ket 7 2 1 10 20% Mar 1 3 3 7 14% Sun 4 4 8% Jup 4 3 2 9 18% Total 50 100% In Leo Lagna also, role of Rahu's aspets is maximum at 24%, followed by Ketu at 20%. Jupiter at 18% is not far behind, being a benefic and natural friend of Lagnesh.
6. Virgo Lagna Aspects on 7th House Plan. 3rd 4th 5th 7th 8th 9th 10thTot. % Sat 1 8 9 17% Rah - - 1 1 2% Ket 6 4 2 12 23% Mar 4 7 3 14 26% Sun 3 3 6% Jup 9 2 3 14 26% Total 53 100% In Virgo Lagna however lead is taken by Mars an Akarak planet at 26% and a Marak and Badhak planet. Jupiter also at 26%. But please note that Jupiter also happens to be 7th lord in this lagna. Ketu is not far behind at 23%.
7. Libra Lagna Aspects on 7th House Plan. 3rd 4th 5th 7th 8th 9th 10thTot. % Sat - 12 1 13 23% Rah - - 1 1 1% Ket 5 9 6 20 36% Mar 2 3 5 10 18% Sun 2 2 4% Jup 5 2 3 10 18% Total 56 100% In Libra Lagna, Rahu's role is virtually absent, its place is taken by Ketu's aspects at 36%, followed by Saturn at 23% though Saturn is Yogkarak here.
8.

Again role of Lagnesh Mars at 22% cannot be ignored altogether. Rahu & Saturn surprisingly do not play negative role here.

12.

Role of Jupiter, the Lagnesh, is also suspect, claiming 17%. Consolidated Sheet of Aspects Sat Rah Ket Mar Sun Jup Tot.

Most surprising element is Jupiter, said to be the most auspicious planet, whose aspect is said to be full of nectar (Amrit in its Drishti) yet it has shared the top spot with Ketu which is neck in neck with its counterpart Rahu in destroying in marital cordiality. Planets vs. Lagnas It has been noticed that aspects of a particular planets had excessive adverse impact on certain lagnas only itstead of affecting all the Lagnas equally. Since we have considered 6 planets, the average per planet per Lagna comes to approx. 17%. Therefore we have taken 25% or more impact of a planet on a Lagna and ignored lesser impacts. Planetwise inferences are as given under :
Saturn : Aspects of Saturn in damaging the 7th house here to the extent of 12 cases out of 38 or 32% on Taurus lagna, followed by 15/52 or 29% on Gemini Lagna. It also affected Libra (23%) and Capricorn (18%) though these are Saturn's favourable Lagnas, apart from Taurus, which was worst affected. Rahu : Rahu's aspects have emerged to be most damaging out of all planets and all the Lagnas as well. Aries : 15/26 or 58% Taurus : 19/38 or 50% Pisces : 8/18 or 44% Gemini : 20/52 or 38% Cancer : 18/57 or 32% Leo was also affected to that extent of 24%. Therefore Rahu had major influence on half of the Lagnas. Ketu : Ketu's aspects damaged the marital house extensively but to a lesser extent compared to Rahu as is evident from the following : Libra : 20/56 or 36% Scorpio : 17/51 or 33% Sagittarius : 22/71 or 31% Capricorn : 9/33 or 27% Virgo (23%) and Leo (20%) were the other two,affected by Ketu. Mars : Mars' aspects were found to be most damaging for Virgo Lagna : 14/53 or 26% followed by Scorpio (22%) and Cancer (18%) which are its favoured lagnas. Sun : Sun surprisingly has emerged as a benign planet. Its maximum impact was observed in Aquarius lagna to the extent of 16% only.
It caused only negligible damage to other lagnas. Jupiter : The most auspicious planet Jupiter's aspects were found to be quite damaging on following lagnas : Scorpio : 19/51 or 37% Capricorn : 12/33 or 36% Virgo : 14/53 or 26% Sagittarius : 19/71 or 27% Followed by Aquarius (20%), Cancer (18%), Leo(18%) and Libra (18%). While Sagittarius in its own Lagna, it is a benefic planet in Cancer, Leo and Scorpio Lagnas. Traditionally aspects of Jupiter are considered to be auspicious only and that of Saturn as damaging but both have proved to be on equal footing. Most Damaging Aspect We have tried to assess which particular aspect of a planet becomes most damaging in a particular ascendant. Out of total aspects of a planet on 7th house of a particular Lagna, a specific aspect accounts for 75% or more , we can safely conclude that this aspect was most crucial in damaging the house of marriage.
From the table given below, we can say that Saturn's 3rd aspect in Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, 7th aspect in Virgo, Libra and Scorpo and 10th aspect in Capricorn and Aquarius Lagnas was found to be most fatal. Rahu's 5th aspect in Pisces and 9th aspect in Leo Lagna was very bad alongwith Ketu's 9th aspect in Pisces.

• Aspects of Saturn, Rahu and Ketu among natural malefics were found to be prominent in damaging 7th house.
• Jupiter, though a natural benefic, was also found to be afflicting 7th house.
• Aspects of Sun and Mars had a minor, rather a neglible role.
• Rahu's affliction was highly noticeable in Aries, Taurus, Pisces and Gemini Lagnas.
• Saturn's adverse role was prominent in Taurus and Gemini Lagnas.
• Ketu's negative role was crucial in Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn Lagnas.
• Jupiter played villain in Scorpio, Capricorn, Virgo and surprisingly in its own Sagittarius Lagna.
• Despite being Yogkarak/Lagnesh, Saturn afflicted 7th house of Taurus Lagna by 3rd aspect, Libra by 7th and Capricorn by its 10th aspect.
