"ANALYSIS OF HOROSCOPE FOR PRE-MARITAL

PLEASURES"

Inclinations for sensual or lascivious pleasures stem from strong emotional

nature and courage. The fifth house, its lord and the Moon govern the
emotions and make a person highly emotional by their influence on the
ascendant, the fifth or the seventh houses. The third lord and Mars govern
the courage. Rahu and the lords of the twelfth and eighth houses signify
cravings for pleasures and for sensual pleasures when closely connected
with Venus, the Moon, the eighth house, the ascendant or the seventh
house. Rahu, Venus and the lord of the eighth house when connected with
the factors of emotions and courage give passions for love during their
operating sub-periods and the natives strive for the fulfillment of desires of
sensual pleasures leaving all social norms, disregarding the age of the
person, whether an unmarried youth or a young person or one in advanced
age and disregarding the sex of the person whether a male or a female. The
weakness of Jupiter and ninth house are additional contributing factors.
The close influence of Rahu on factors governing sexual matters usually
gives lust and seldom results in marriage with the partner involved in such
affairs. The placement of the fifth lord in the seventh or eighth house or
vice-versa gives primarily deep inclinations for sensual pleasures. Delay in
marriage due to weakness of the prime indicators of marriage and
afflictions, give rise to pre-marital affairs. Under the Systems Approach,
the lordship attributed to each planet always refers to the mooltrikona
house of that planet only and influence means a close conjunction or a
close aspect. The analysis is made only with reference to ascendant.
Let us discuss the matter further with the help of some case studies:

placement is also closely afflicted by Mars. The Sun, ruling the will
power, is very weak in the nativity. During the sub-period of
Mercury in the main period of Rahu, the girl eloped with a boy even

love, which was, in fact a short lived involvement. Rahus influence
on Venus only resulted in cravings for physical pleasures.

and Ketu, the Moon becomes also a functional malefic planet. The
most effective points of the eighth, twelfth, second and fourth
houses and the planets Venus and Mercury are under the close
influence of Rahu. The lord of the eighth house and the significator

for emotions, the Moon, exerts influence on the lord of the

The sign
Gemini
rises in
the

ascendant which means that Rahu and Ketu are the only functional
malefic planets. The lord of the seventh house is in the fifth house
and is under the close influence of Rahu. Mercury, ruling the fourth
house, is weak as it is in old-age and is debilitated. The lord of the
fifth house, Venus, is placed in the eighth house. The lord of the
eleventh house, ruling friends, is also in the eighth house. The

prime significators for marriage in this case being Jupiter, the

Moon and Mercury are all weak which caused delay in marriage.
The delay in marriage and the involvement of the lord of the
seventh house with Rahu gives uncontrolled passions and intense
inclinations for carnal pleasures. The delay in marriage resulted in
a very long spell of a pre-marital affair with a boy of another faith.
The affair started in the sub-period of Jupiter in the main period of
Rahu.

The sign Sagittarius rises in the ascendant which means that

besides Rahu and Ketu, the Moon becomes also a functional
malefic planet. The lord of the fifth house is debilitated and is
placed in the eighth house. The planets placed in the eighth house
give inclinations for indulgence in sex. The lord of the third house
is placed in the fifth house. The lord of the eighth house is
debilitated and badly placed in the twelfth house, indicating deep
interests in carnal pleasures. Venus is weak as it is debilitated and

pleasures.
