An Astrological Case Study by Relationship Counselor & Astrologer Siddhartha Goell

Marital rape is one of the most brutal and inhumane realities that many women endure silently. Socially, marriage is perceived as a sacred institution where a woman is expected to fulfill her “marital duties,” including physical intimacy. However, when intimacy is forced without consent, it ceases to be marital relations and becomes sexual violence.

Unfortunately, such cases occur across societies and cultures worldwide. Yet, they are rarely reported due to fear of public shaming, family pressure, and social stigma.

This case study presents the tragic life journey of a woman whose suffering extended far beyond marital rape and involved coercion, exploitation, multiple relationships, and repeated emotional and physical trauma. Through her horoscope, we examine how planetary combinations indicated forced relationships, consensual bonds, and repeated marital disruptions.

The Life Ordeal of the Native

In her first marriage, the woman was subjected to extreme sexual abuse by her husband. He treated her as a mere instrument of pleasure, forcing himself upon her repeatedly and without consent. The abuse escalated to such an extent that he even conspired to force her into sexual relations with his employer. Fortunately, that act did not materialize, and she managed to escape.

After fleeing this marriage, she remarried. Initially, there was hope for stability, but over time, her second husband developed interest in alcohol and other women. Once again, she suffered mental and physical torture, being compelled to submit to his sexual demands whenever he desired. Eventually, left with no alternatives, she walked away from this relationship as well.

While searching for employment to sustain herself, she met a younger man. A friendship developed, which soon turned into an intimate relationship. This phase, though brief, brought her moments of emotional warmth and affection. However, fate intervened when news arrived of her husband’s death, forcing her to return to his native place.

In that society, a rigid custom prevailed: after the death of a man, his widow was required to marry his unmarried brother. Bound by social pressure and tradition, she reluctantly entered into yet another marriage.

Thus, over the course of her life, she formed physical relationships with multiple men—some by her own choice, and others under compulsion or force.

Astrological Examination of the Sexual Abuse Case

Through her horoscope, Relationship Counselor and Astrologer Siddhartha Goell explains how astrology reveals the patterns of multiple relationships, forced sexual encounters, and marital instability.

Salient Features of the Rashi Chart

1. Exalted Mars from the Ascendant
Mars aspects the 4th, 7th, and 8th houses—three crucial houses connected with marriage and relationships.

• The 4th house represents family and domestic life.
• The 7th house signifies spouse and partnerships.
• The 8th house indicates longevity of marriage, sudden breaks, trauma, and hidden sexual matters.

This strong Mars created intense marital disturbances and sexual turbulence.

2. Physical Attractiveness and Male Attention
Mars, being a youthful planet, gave her a well-shaped body and a younger appearance. This made her naturally attractive, drawing attention from multiple men throughout her life.

3. First Marriage during Saturn Mahadasha
Her first marriage occurred during Saturn’s major period.

• Saturn, placed in the 5th house in Venus’s sign, aspects the 7th house, causing marriage despite her unwillingness.
• Saturn’s placement in the nakshatra of the Sun (lord of the 8th house) indicated pain, cruelty, and trauma.
• Saturn’s aspect on Ketu in the 7th house, along with the influence of Mars and Rahu, resulted in severe sexual abuse.

This sadistic behavior is further confirmed in the Navamsha chart, where malefic Saturn aspects Venus and Mars in the 7th house, repeating the theme of violence and domination.

4. Escape from Marriage and Family Rejection
After childbirth, her husband attempted to sell her as a sex slave. She escaped and returned to her parents, only to be rejected and asked to return to her abusive husband.

• Saturn (Ascendant lord) mutually aspects the debilitated Moon (7th lord) and retrograde Jupiter (12th lord), indicating separation, running away, and emotional abandonment.

5. Elopement and Second Marriage
With no support, she turned to a man who had loved her before her marriage. To save their lives from family retaliation, they eloped and settled in New Delhi.

6. Temporary Stability and Renewed Suffering
She gave birth to two children from her second marriage. Initially, marital relations were satisfactory. However, over time, her husband turned to alcohol and extramarital affairs, plunging her life back into despair.

7. Separation during Ketu Period
During Ketu Mahadasha, separation occurred.

• Mars’ aspect on Ketu, the 8th house, Sun (8th lord), and Mercury (6th lord) in the 4th house caused the breakdown of family life.

8. Widowhood and Short-Lived Relationship
In the same Ketu period, she briefly experienced a relationship with a younger man. Soon after, her husband passed away.

• Ketu’s placement in the 6th house of Navamsha and Mars (8th lord) in the 7th house, both aspected by retrograde Jupiter, signified widowhood.

9. Third Marriage during Venus Mahadasha
At the start of Venus Mahadasha, she was compelled to marry her brother-in-law.

• Venus, exalted and aspecting the 9th house of second marriage, along with Jupiter’s influence, resulted in yet another marital bond.
• Jupiter’s conjunction with the 7th lord Moon clearly indicated multiple marriages.

Conclusion

This case highlights how deeply complex and painful relationship patterns can manifest in an individual’s life. Astrology does not justify suffering, but it helps us understand karmic patterns, planetary influences, and life lessons embedded in a horoscope.

Through careful analysis, astrology reveals distinctions between consensual relationships, forced unions, and repeated marital disruptions. Such insights can guide individuals toward awareness, healing, and informed decision-making.

Understanding these planetary influences allows us to approach such cases with compassion, sensitivity, and a deeper awareness of the unseen forces shaping human  lives.
