Marriage prediction for Simha rashi

The 7th from the Moon in Simha

Marriage is read from the 7th house, which in a Moon-sign reading is the 7th sign from the Moon. For Simha that is Kumbha, ruled by Shani (Saturn), with Shukra (Venus) as the karaka of marriage in every chart.

Simha is fire, ruled by Surya (the Sun): warm, proud, generous, happiest when it leads. Kumbha is air, even-tempered, reasoned, drawn to friends, groups and ideals. Surya and Shani are natural enemies in Parashara's table, so the two sides of this axis start from different temperaments. The partner tends to be independent, fair, a little detached in expression, loyal to principle. Both signs are fixed, which favours a durable marriage once both people make room for each other's way of showing care.

When marriage comes

For a Simha Moon the dasha or antardasha of Shani, the 7th lord, is a main window. Shani also rules the 6th from this Moon, so its periods are read with the rest of the chart. Shukra's periods count, as do those of a graha placed in Kumbha.

Guru (Jupiter) supports the question by transit over Kumbha or Simha, or from Tula or Dhanus, from where it aspects Kumbha. Shani's transit through Kumbha, a sign it rules, brings attention to partnership. It asks for patience with the pace of events.

The date comes from the full birth chart, with the lagna, the dashas and the transits read together.

The nakshatras of Simha

Magha (Tamil Magam, Telugu Makha), all four padas, is ruled by Ketu. It gives respect for family line. Purva Phalguni (Tamil Pooram, Telugu Pubba), all four padas, is ruled by Shukra, the karaka of marriage. Its deity Bhaga presides over shared enjoyment. Uttara Phalguni (Tamil Uthiram), pada 1 only, is ruled by Surya. Its deity Aryaman governs lasting bonds.

Manglik, in plain words

Kuja dosha is noted when Kuja is in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th, counted from the lagna, the Moon and Shukra. From a Simha Moon these are Simha, Kanya, Vrischika, Kumbha, Meena and Karkataka. Vrischika, the 4th, is a sign Kuja rules. Karkataka, the 12th, is where it is debilitated. Surya counts Kuja as a friend. For a Simha lagna the texts call Kuja a yogakaraka, the lord of the 4th and 9th.

It asks for care in matching. Later texts list many exceptions, two charts that both carry it are commonly matched, and the whole chart decides. Melapaka, marriage chart matching explains it.
