Marriage is read through the 7th house, Venus (for men) and Jupiter (for women), and the timing shown by dashas and transits. Here is what today's sky suggests — and how Dr. R.P. Sharma (Vedic astrologer since 1979, double Ph.D. & Acharya) reads kundli matching, manglik dosha and marriage timing.

What today's planetary positions mean for marriage
Today, Venus is currently in Virgo, a analytical and practical sign; Jupiter is currently in Cancer, a nurturing and emotional sign. For matters of marriage, this is a time to act with awareness and patience, letting these energies guide your steady effort rather than hurried decisions.
This is general transit guidance based on the day's real planetary positions. For what these transits mean for your own birth chart, a personal consultation looks at the complete picture.

Frequently asked questions
When will I get married?
Marriage timing is read from the 7th lord's dasha–antardasha, Jupiter's transit over the 7th house or Moon, and supportive periods in the chart. A reading identifies the favourable windows rather than one fixed date — and what to do within them.
I am manglik — should I worry?
No — manglik dosha is widely misunderstood. Many charts carry cancellations (by placement or age), and where the dosha is genuine, measured remedies and matching with a suitable chart resolve it. It is assessed carefully, never used to create fear.
What gun milan score is needed for marriage?
Conventionally 18 of 36 gunas is the minimum, but the score alone is not a verdict. Nadi and Bhakoot doshas, Mars placement, the 7th houses and dashas of both charts matter as much — which is why matching is read as a whole.
Which house represents marriage in a kundli?
The 7th house (and its lord) is the primary house of marriage and partnership. Venus, Jupiter, and the timing of dashas and transits over the 7th house are all considered when reading marriage prospects.
What causes delay in marriage astrologically?
Delays are often associated with the influence of Saturn or certain placements affecting the 7th house. These are read calmly as matters of timing — and many such charts go on to happy marriages with patience.
