1. Influence of Venus (Shukra)

• Venus is the planet of love, romance, beauty, and attraction. A strong and well-placed Venus often enhances the possibility of love marriages.
• Venus in connection with the 5th house (house of love, romance) or 7th house (house of marriage and partnerships) is a key indicator of romantic relationships leading to marriage.
• Venus in 1st house or 7th house can indicate strong romantic inclinations and a love marriage.

2. Influence of the 5th and 7th Houses

• The 5th house represents romance, relationships before marriage, and emotional connections. If the lord of the 5th house is placed in the 7th house or vice versa, this can be a strong indicator of a love marriage.
• Any relationship between the lords of the 5th house and 7th house can indicate marriage based on romantic feelings.
• Planets like Moon, Venus, and Mercury in the 5th house also signify emotional connections, enhancing the possibility of love marriage.

3. Exchange Between the 5th and 7th House Lords

• If the 5th house lord is placed in the 7th house or the 7th house lord in the 5th house, this planetary exchange can signal a strong chance of a love marriage.
• This combination suggests that romantic relationships are likely to transform into marital commitments.

4. Rahu’s Influence

• Rahu, the shadow planet, is known for unconventional and non-traditional choices. When Rahu aspects the 5th house, 7th house, or Venus, it may indicate a desire to break away from traditional norms, possibly leading to love marriage.
• Rahu in the 7th house or influencing Venus can indicate a marriage outside one’s caste, culture, or country, which is often associated with love marriages.

5. Mars-Venus Conjunction or Aspect

• The combination of Mars and Venus in a chart often creates passionate and intense romantic relationships.
• If Mars and Venus are conjunct or aspect each other in the 5th house, 7th house, or 11th house (house of social circles and gains), it increases the likelihood of a love marriage.

6. Influence of the Moon

• Moon represents emotions and mental tendencies. If the Moon is placed in the 5th house or connected with the 7th house or Venus, it indicates strong emotional connections in relationships.
• The Moon-Venus combination especially favors love marriages.

7. Mercury’s Role

• Mercury is the planet of communication, intellect, and youthfulness. When Mercury is well-placed in the 5th house or 7th house, it indicates youthful and intellectual compatibility, often leading to love marriages.

8. Aspect of Jupiter

• Jupiter signifies wisdom and righteousness. While Jupiter is often seen as a traditional planet, its positive influence over the 5th house, 7th house, or Venus ensures stability and commitment in romantic relationships.
• If Jupiter aspects Venus or the 5th house, it ensures that the romantic relationship is likely to culminate in marriage.

9. Dasha Periods and Transits

• The timing of love marriage often depends on the planetary dasha (period) you are going through. The dasha or sub-dasha of Venus, the 5th lord, 7th lord, or planets sitting in these houses, often trigger love marriage.
• Transits of Venus or Jupiter over the 5th or 7th house can also initiate romantic relationships leading to marriage.

10. Combination in Navamsa (D-9 Chart)

• The Navamsa chart (D-9) is specifically studied for marriage prospects. If Venus, Moon, or Rahu play significant roles in the Navamsa, it increases the likelihood of love marriage.
• A connection between the 5th and 7th houses or their lords in the Navamsa chart is another strong indicator of love marriage.

Other Indicators of Love Marriage:

• Ascendant (Lagna) in Libra or Taurus, which are ruled by Venus, gives a natural inclination towards love and relationships.
• The presence of planets like Mercury, Venus, or Moon in the 11th house (house of social networks and gains) can indicate romantic relationships within one’s social or friend circle.
• Rahu or Ketu‘s involvement in the 7th house or its lord may indicate a non-conventional or unusual relationship, often leading to love marriages.

While these combinations point towards the potential for love marriage, other factors in the birth chart and the Navamsa chart should also be considered for a more accurate prediction.
