A Case Study in Vedic Astrology: Same-Sex Marriage as a Strategic Alliance, Not Sexual Orientation
In Vedic Astrology, a horoscope reveals not only personality traits. It also uncovers motivations, strategies, and karmic intentions behind major life events. This case study presents a unique example of a same-sex marriage. It did not occur due to sexual orientation. Instead, it was a carefully calculated strategy. The planetary combinations of the birth chart and its divisional charts strongly reflect this.
This analysis is purely astrological and is shared for educational purposes, without disclosing the identity of the individual.
Salient Features of the Rashi (D1) Chart

1. Mercury and Saturn Dominating the House of Relationship
Mercury, traditionally classified as a eunuch planet, is positioned in the 7th house of relationships and marriage. The sign lord of this house is Saturn, another eunuch planet.
The presence of two such planets in the primary house of marriage immediately indicates non-conventional relationship patterns and strategic decision-making rather than emotional bonding.
2. Placement of the 7th Lord Saturn
Saturn, the lord of the 7th house, is placed in the 4th house of family and domestic setup.
- Nakshatra lord: Mercury
- Sign lord: Mars
This creates a link between intellect (Mercury) and calculated action (Mars) in matters of family and marriage.
3. Mars–Rahu Conjunction in the 8th House
Saturn’s depositor Mars is positioned in the 8th house, the house of secrecy, conspiracy, and hidden agendas.
Mars is in conjunction with Rahu, a shadow planet known for:
- Clever manipulation
- Unorthodox strategies
- Bypassing systems and authorities
The sign lord of this Mars–Rahu combination is Jupiter. It is placed in the 7th house of marriage along with Moon and Mercury. This alignment indicates that the execution of the plan was precise, legally structured, and emotionally neutral.
4. Role of Venus in Marriage Matters
Venus, the natural significator of marriage, is placed in the 5th house.
- Sign lord: Jupiter (already influencing the 7th house)
- Nakshatra lord: Ketu
5. Ketu in the 2nd House of Family
Ketu is positioned in the 2nd house, representing immediate family and the addition of a spouse.
- Sign lord: Mercury
Mars and Rahu from the 8th house cast a mutual aspect on Ketu, reinforcing deception, secrecy, and strategic execution within the family structure.
6. Mercury–Ketu Axis of Intrigue
From Mercury placed in the 7th house, Ketu falls into the 8th house of intrigue, strengthening the theme of:
- Intellectual planning
- Deception of authorities
- Clever navigation of legal systems
Mercury emerges as the mastermind, while Ketu ensures invisibility and misdirection, allowing the plan to succeed without raising suspicion.
Timing of the Event (Dasha Analysis)
The marriage was registered during:
- Major period (Mahadasha): Mercury
- Sub-period (Antardasha): Venus
This planetary period fully supports marriage-related outcomes driven by intellect, legality, and convenience, rather than emotional or sexual inclination.
Confirmation from the Navamsha (D9) Chart

1. Virgo Ascendant and Mercury’s Strength
- Ascendant: Virgo
- Ascendant lord: Mercury, placed in the 2nd house in the sign of Venus
This reinforces marriage and family formation through calculated planning.
2. Venus–Mercury Mutual Aspect
Venus, the 2nd lord, is placed in the 8th house and is in mutual aspect with Mercury.
This confirms that both planets cooperated to materialize the marriage, again pointing to strategy rather than passion.
Important Clarification on Sexual Orientation
It is crucial to clarify that the native is not homosexual.
There are no planetary combinations indicating same-sex attraction or intimate desire toward the same gender.
However, due to the strong influence of eunuch planets, the native’s sexual potency and physical drive are considerably low.
Post-Marriage Consequences
Later, after divorce, when the native married a woman, he was unable to physically satisfy his spouse, leading to:
- Emotional distress
- Marital dissatisfaction
- Unhappiness in the woman’s life
This outcome was also indicated in the horoscope and highlights the importance of pre-marital astrological screening.
The birth details are shared strictly for astrological analysis only, without disclosing the individual’s identity.
Birth Details:
Place of Birth: 01st FEBRUARY 1987
Time of Birth: 1948 hours
Place of Birth: SHANGHAI, CHINA
Conclusion
This case strongly demonstrates how:
- Marriage can be used as a strategic tool, not always an emotional bond
- Planetary influences can override social norms
- Ignoring such combinations can lead to long-term suffering, especially for innocent partners
Such sensitive factors must be carefully evaluated before entering a marriage alliance.
