My wife went to her parents' home six months ago. We talk sometimes and I want to try again. What does my chart show for our reconciliation?
Thank you for sharing. Her choice is hers, and I will not promise an outcome. Send your birth details, and hers if she agrees, and I will read your 7th lord, Venus and your current period.
Short answer
Reconciliation after a separation is possible, and Indian law leaves room for it until a divorce decree is passed 34. Whether it happens rests on both of you; if your spouse has said no, that choice stands. Astrologers read the 7th lord's strength, benefics on it and your dasha for calmer months to talk 12. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read your chart by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about reconciliation?

|---|---|
| Who this is for | Spouses living apart, before a divorce decree, who are thinking about trying again |
| Other names | Patch up, samjhauta, getting back together, reunion with husband or wife |
| What decides it | Both spouses' free choice; no chart, ritual or person can make someone return |
| What an astrologer checks | The 7th lord's sign and strength, benefics on the 7th, Venus and both dashas |
| What the law allows | Courts must try to reconcile first in many cases, and a mutual consent petition can be withdrawn before the decree 34 |
| What to bring | Both birth details if your spouse agrees, the wedding date and the date you started living apart |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute, first session with 5 free minutes, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What does an astrologer check when separated spouses want to reconcile?
- The sign of the 7th lord. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 18.1 says a 7th lord in its own or exaltation sign gives full happiness from the spouse 1.
- Benefics joining or aspecting the 7th lord. Verse 18.4 reads a 7th lord with benefics, or strong, as prosperity, respect and contentment 2.
- Venus in both charts. Many astrologers read Venus for affection and ask whether it is under strain in either chart.
- The dasha each of you is running. A period that began near the separation may since have changed, which many astrologers read as a new phase.
- What the chart cannot show: whether your spouse wants to return. That is asked of the spouse, not the chart.
What changes the answer when you are thinking of reconciling?
- Whether you still talk. Spouses who talk can test a plan together; if one side has blocked all contact, the reading turns to your own path.
- Whether a case is filed. Before any petition, reconciling is a private choice; after one, a lawyer explains how to withdraw or pause it.
- Why you separated. Distance, money or in-laws can be worked on; violence or threats need a helpline and a lawyer before any meeting.
- Whether children live with one of you. Their routines, school and safety shape the timing as much as any chart.
How often do separated couples get back together?
Separated couples get back together less often than people hope, and new partners are more common than reunions. A US study of people who separated after 50 found that within 10 years about 7% of women and 11% of men reconciled with their spouse 5. In the same window 12% of women and 26% of men formed a union with someone new 5.
Some patterns stood out among the men. Longer prior marriages and more years since the split went with higher odds of reconciling, while having children and a finished divorce went with lower odds 5. The authors note that their survey every two years misses short separations that end quickly, so real reunions are likely undercounted 5.
Indian law builds reconciliation into the process. Under section 23(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, a court must first try to bring the spouses together, where the case allows it 3. Under section 13B, a joint petition for divorce by mutual consent can still be withdrawn before the decree, and the final joint motion must come within 18 months of filing 4.
| Fact | Number or rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Women reconciling within 10 years of a late-life separation (US) | About 7% | 5 |
| Men reconciling within 10 years of a late-life separation (US) | About 11% | 5 |
| Cases disposed of in a Delhi family courts mediation drive, December 2019 | 75.27% | 6 |
| Court's first duty in many Hindu Marriage Act cases | Try to reconcile the spouses | 3 |
| Outer limit to move a mutual consent petition | 18 months after filing | 4 |
Mediation is where many Indian couples meet again, though a settlement can mean an agreed divorce as well as a reunion. Delhi's family courts reported a disposal rate of 75.27% in a week-long mediation drive across 21 courts 6.
Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. An astrologer there can read your 7th lord, Venus and dasha and help you pick a calm time to talk. An astrologer cannot bring your spouse back or advise on custody, maintenance or a petition; those need a counsellor and a family lawyer.
What should we sort out before getting back together after a separation?
Spouses getting back together after a separation do better with a short, honest checklist than with a date picked from a chart alone.
- Each of you says, in one sentence, why you separated, and whether that reason has changed.
- You agree where you will live, and how much say each family gets.
- If a petition or complaint is filed, a lawyer explains what pausing or withdrawing it means.
- You book a few sessions with a couples counsellor before moving back in.
- If there was any violence, you speak to Women Helpline 181 or a lawyer first and never meet alone.
- If you want a reading, you take both birth details and the separation date to it.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: A strong dasha or a remedy can make my spouse come back.
No dasha or remedy decides another person's choice. A chart reading describes timing in many astrologers' view; your spouse's decision stays theirs, and a reunion needs both of you.

Questions people ask
Will my wife come back after separation, according to astrology?
Astrology cannot tell you whether your wife returns, because that is her decision. An astrologer can read your 7th lord, Venus and current dasha, and say which months many astrologers see as calmer for a conversation. If she has said no or cut contact, her choice stands, and the reading is about your own path and timing.
Do separated couples ever get back together?
Yes, some separated couples reconcile, though fewer than people expect. In a US study of people who separated after age 50, about 7% of women and 11% of men reconciled within ten years, while more found new partners. Couples who reconcile usually change what drove them apart, often with a counsellor's help.
Can we cancel a mutual divorce petition if we want to reconcile in India?
Yes, a mutual consent petition under the Hindu Marriage Act can be withdrawn before the court passes the decree, and the final joint motion must come within 18 months of filing. Other personal laws have their own rules. Talk to a family lawyer before withdrawing anything, so you know what happens to maintenance and other claims.
Which planets show reconciliation in a marriage chart?
No single planet shows reconciliation. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra reads a 7th lord in its own or exaltation sign, or with benefics, as happiness from the spouse. Many astrologers add Venus and the running dasha. These describe tendencies; whether you reunite still rests on both of you.
How long after separation do couples usually reconcile?
There is no usual time, and research gives no fixed window. The US study of late-life separations found reunions kept happening over ten years, and it likely missed short separations that ended quickly. What matters more is whether the reason for separating has changed.
What does a reconciliation reading cost on Kismo?
A reconciliation reading on Kismo costs the astrologer's rate, from ₹15 a minute, and your first session has 5 free minutes with no card needed. You top up a wallet with at least ₹100, and only the minutes used are charged. Unused money stays in the wallet.
Someone offered vashikaran to bring my husband back. Is that safe?
No, do not pay for vashikaran or any ritual that claims to control another person. It cannot make anyone return, it ignores your husband's own choice, and such offers often lead to repeated demands for money. On Kismo, misconduct such as asking for money outside the app or pressure to pay is handled by a person.
