Rahu-Venus Shadashtak Yoga: Does it really inspire a ‘live-in relationship’?

Live-In: For the past few days, a fact in the name of astrology is going viral on social media without any restriction that if Rahu’s Shadashtak Yoga is in the fourth or fifth house from Venus of Pisces, Libra or Taurus, then the person lives in a 100% live-in relationship.

When something like this is seen or heard through social media, parents get nervous, they feel that their child’s marriage and social future is now out of the hands of the planets. The person himself goes into guilt and fear, as if the horoscope has already pronounced the verdict on his character. And gradually astrology is not made a guiding science, but a judge who gives the final verdict. But the real question is, does this claim have any real scriptural basis?

First fact, this formula is not present in any authentic astrological text. Indian Vedic astrology is a scripture based on formulas and principles. Any summation or conclusion is accepted only when it is either clearly written in the scripture, or is directly derived from the classical rules.

Any formula connecting Rahu-Venus Shadashtak Yoga with ‘live-in relationship’

1. Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra
2. Phaldeepika
3. Sarawali
4. Jatak Parijat
5. Jaimini Sutra

Not present in any of these. It is not written anywhere that the sextant relationship between Rahu and Venus forces the person to live a life outside marriage. This fact in itself weakens the foundation of this entire claim.

Now the question arises that how did this belief come about? This belief is not based on scriptures, but by imposing modern interpretations and social trends on the planets. Three different theories were combined to reach a simple, scary conclusion.

Nature of Rahu (Shastra-Based)

In the scriptures, Rahu has been considered a planet that deviates from tradition, challenges social boundaries and adopts unusual paths. Rahu encourages experimentation, shows alternatives and gives the person a tendency to question established structures. But the scriptures say one thing very clearly that Rahu gives direction, not decision. If the seventh house, Jupiter or Navamsha is strong, then this is Rahu-

• interracial marriage
• foreign spouse
• late marriage

Can give. It is not the classical nature of Rahu to make live-in relationship mandatory.

nature of venus

Venus is the factor of love, attraction, relationships and happiness. This is the undisputed truth. But the scriptures also make it clear that Venus shows desire for relationship,
Does not determine the structure of the relationship. Social structure of marriage, celibacy or any relationship-

• seventh house
• Second house (family)
• navamsha horoscope

Is determined by. Deciding the nature of relationship only on the basis of Venus is classically an incomplete conclusion.

hexadecimal (6/8) relationship

Most misconceptions have been spread regarding Shadashtak Yoga. In the scriptures, the meaning of Shadashtak is-

• natural collision between planets
• mental stress
• lack of understanding
• emotional instability

But nowhere does the scripture say that Shadashtak means illicit relationship or violation of social rules. The hexagram shows struggle,
Doesn’t judge character. In the scriptures the decision of marriage and relationship can never be taken-

• a planet
• a sum
• or a feeling

It is not done from. This is always seen for-

1. Seventh house and its lord
2. Second house (family and clan)
3. Navamsha Horoscope (D-9)
4. sharpener
5. Dasha-Antardasha

Unless all these elements are seriously affected together, it is not scriptural to draw a conclusion like ‘100%’. For this-

Navamsha (D-9): The most solid foundation

Navamsha is considered the final decision maker of marriage and religion in the scriptures. This is why experienced astrologers look at Navamsha before making any relationship-related conclusions. It has been seen time and again in actual horoscopes that the Shadashtak Rashi of Rahu-Venus is present in the horoscope but the Navamsha is strong. As a result the person gets into a normal, social and legal marriage. If the Navamsha is strong then planets like Rahu also result in marriage.

The basic formula of astrology is country-time-character. Unless the structure of the society, circumstances of the time, values ​​of the person and family background are considered, the statement should not be considered true.

So what does this yoga actually do? If seen in a scripture-based manner, the Shadashtak Yoga of Rahu-Venus can create imbalance in a person with modern and non-traditional thinking, tendency to look at relationships from a different perspective, emotional confusion and attraction in love. But this yoga does not make live-in relationship mandatory. It does not automatically destroy the marriage.
