My husband and I fight almost every day now and we barely talk otherwise. Is something in my kundli causing this?

Please share your birth details, and his if you have them. I start with your 7th house, its lord and Venus, then the dasha you are both running. Tell me too what the fights are usually about.

Example of a consultation about marital problems on Kismo

Short answer

Marital problems, or husband wife problems, are read in Vedic astrology from the 7th house of marriage, its lord, Venus and the period you are running ¹⁴. An astrologer can describe the pattern the chart shows and the times that look calmer. A chart cannot decide your marriage for you. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read both charts by chat or call, online from anywhere.

What gets checked

What does an astrologer check for marital problems?

The 7th house and its lord. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 18.1 says a 7th lord in its own or exaltation sign gives full happiness from the spouse ¹.
Benefic contact on the 7th lord. The same chapter, verse 4, reads a 7th lord joined or aspected by benefics, or strong, as a sign of fortune and respect ².
Venus for a man's chart and the 7th and 8th houses for a woman's. Phaladeepika chapter 10 names Venus as the wife's significator and reads the husband from the wife's 7th and 8th houses ⁴.
The 2nd house of family next to the 7th. Phaladeepika 10.7 reads benefics in or aspecting the 2nd and 7th houses as a couple living in comfort ⁴.
The 6th house, which Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.7 links to enemies, fears and injuries ³. Astrologers note when its lord touches the 7th.
The running dasha and transits for both partners. These show which years many astrologers read as harder or calmer, not what either person will choose.

Situations

Which situation is yours?

Frequent Fights With Husband or Wife: Astrologer
When the trouble is daily fighting, the reading turns to Mars, Saturn and the 6th house, and to how the two of you argue.
In-Law Problems in Marriage: Ask an Astrologer
When the strain comes from in-laws, astrologers add the 2nd, 4th and 9th houses of family and home to the 7th.
Distance Between Husband and Wife: Astrologer
When there is no fighting but less and less closeness, the reading looks at the Moon, Venus and the 12th house of distance.
Trust Issues in Marriage: Talk to an Astrologer
When one partner doubts the other without proof, the session separates what the chart shows from what the mind fears.

Where the rules come from

Which classical texts describe marriage happiness and discord?

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives the 7th house a whole chapter, chapter 18, on the spouse ¹. Its opening verses read the 7th lord's strength as the measure of married happiness ¹². Chapter 11 lists what every house shows, and the 7th is the spouse, travel and trade ³.

Phaladeepika, written by Mantreswara in South India, builds its chapter 10 on the same 7th house ⁴. It adds Venus as a second reference point and counts houses from Venus as well as from the ascendant ⁴.

Prasna Marga, a 17th-century Kerala manual of horary astrology, takes a different route. Its marriage chapter reads a chart cast for the moment a question is asked, not the birth chart ⁵.

Text	What it reads	Reference point	Source
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 18.1	7th lord in own or exaltation sign gives full happiness from the spouse	Ascendant	¹
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 18.4	7th lord strong or with benefics brings fortune and respect	Ascendant	²
Phaladeepika 10.1 and 10.7	Venus as the wife's significator; benefics in the 2nd and 7th for a comfortable couple	Ascendant, the Moon and Venus	⁴
Prasna Marga, chapter 17	Marriage questions read from the chart of the query	Moment of the question	⁵

The texts write mostly about a wife from a husband's chart. Phaladeepika 10.7 applies the same logic to a wife's 7th and 8th houses for the husband, and modern astrologers read both charts the same way ⁴.

How common it is

How many married couples in India face serious problems?

Serious marital problems are common in India, though most never reach a court. In 2011, 4.2 million women were separated or divorced, and the share peaked among women aged 35 to 39 ⁷. Rates were almost the same in villages and cities ⁷.

Measure from NFHS-5 (2019-21)	Share	Source
Women who ever faced physical, sexual or emotional violence from a husband	31.8%	⁶
Women who ever faced emotional violence from a husband	14%	⁶
Women facing physical or sexual violence who sought help	14%	⁶
Women facing it who never sought help or told anyone	76.5%	⁶

Unhappy marriages also touch health. A review of 126 studies with 72,674 people found that better marital quality goes with better health and lower risk of death, with small effects similar to those of diet ⁹.

The texts give no count of troubled marriages. Their rules are read chart by chart, so an astrologer weighs the 7th house, Venus and the dasha together rather than calling any one placement the cause.

Before a session

When should I see a counsellor, a lawyer or the police instead of an astrologer?

A counsellor, lawyer or the police come first whenever there is violence, threat or a legal step ahead. India's Women Helpline 181 answers 24 hours a day and refers women to police, hospitals, legal aid and One Stop Centres ⁸. The single emergency number 112 covers police, fire and ambulance ⁸.

Someone hits, threatens or locks you in: call 112 or 181 before anything else.
You are thinking about separation, divorce, custody or maintenance: talk to a family lawyer.
You both want to fix things but keep fighting the same way: a couples counsellor helps with how you talk.
You want to understand the timing or the pattern your charts show: an astrologer can add that view.
An astrologer asks for a costly ritual or money outside the app: stop and get a second opinion.

A session, step by step

What happens in a consultation about marriage problems?

A consultation about marriage problems usually moves from what is happening at home to the chart and back. This is an example of how many astrologers structure it, not a real client's chat.

The astrologer asks what the trouble looks like: fights, in-laws, silence or doubt.
The astrologer asks for both birth details, or yours alone if your spouse does not want to share.
The astrologer reads the 7th house, its lord, Venus and the 2nd, 8th and 12th houses.
The astrologer checks the dasha and transits both of you are running and explains which months look calmer.
The astrologer suggests simple steps and says plainly when a counsellor, doctor or lawyer is the right next call.

Myths and facts

What do people get wrong about this?

Belief: A bad 7th house means the marriage is doomed.

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra itself lists conditions that soften a weak 7th house, such as a strong 7th lord or benefics joined with it ². Astrologers read the whole chart, both charts and the dasha before saying anything.

Belief: Only the wife's chart decides marital happiness.

Phaladeepika reads the wife from the husband's chart and the husband from the wife's 7th and 8th houses, so both charts carry weight ⁴.

Belief: Marital trouble is rare in India because divorce is rare.

Separation, not divorce, was the main way marriages ended in 2011, at 63% of separated or divorced women ⁷. Low divorce numbers hide many couples who live apart.

Before you pay anyone

How do you know an astrologer is genuine?

Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: qualification review, panel interview, live audits of real sessions, 30-day probation.
Nobody can guarantee an outcome. Treat any promise of a fixed result as a red flag.
Never pay for an expensive puja or ritual under pressure. Get a second opinion first.
On Kismo you only pay for the minutes you use; misconduct, pressure or a request for money outside the app is handled by a person.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can astrology tell me why my marriage has problems?

Astrology can describe a pattern, not prove a cause. A Vedic astrologer reads the 7th house, its lord, Venus and the dasha running for each of you, and says which years the texts read as harder. The everyday causes, like money, in-laws or how you speak to each other, still need to be talked about between you, and often with a counsellor.

Which planet causes problems between husband and wife?

No single planet causes problems between husband and wife in classical astrology. Texts read Saturn, Mars, Rahu and the Sun in or around the 7th house as pressure on marriage, and a weak Venus as less comfort. Benefic aspects and a strong 7th lord can soften all of these, so an astrologer reads the full chart before naming anything.

Should my husband's chart be read too, or only mine?

Both charts help, but yours alone still gives a reading. The texts read the spouse from your own 7th house, so an astrologer can say a lot from one chart. Your husband's chart adds his side and his dasha. If he does not want to share his details, respect that and work with your own chart.

Will my marriage survive, according to my kundli?

No kundli can promise that a marriage will survive or end. An astrologer can say which periods look harder or easier and which houses are under pressure. What happens depends on choices two people make. Be careful of anyone who gives you a fixed verdict, a date for divorce or a guarantee of reunion.

What remedies do astrologers suggest for marital problems?

Astrologers usually start with simple, free practices: prayer or a mantra for Venus or Jupiter, fasting on a chosen day, or giving to charity. Some suggest a gemstone or a puja. No remedy is proven to change a marriage, so treat them as personal practice, and get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.

How much does a marriage problem consultation cost on Kismo?

A marriage problem consultation on Kismo costs the astrologer's own rate, from ₹15 a minute, billed per started minute from your wallet. The first session has 5 free minutes and needs no card. The minimum top-up is ₹100, and minutes you do not use stay in the wallet.

An astrologer says my marriage will break unless I pay for a puja. Is that a red flag?

Yes, a threat that your marriage will break unless you pay is a red flag. No reading can know that, and fear is a common way to sell rituals. Get a second opinion before paying for anything. On Kismo, pressure or a request for money outside the app counts as misconduct and is handled by a person.

Is there an app where I can ask an astrologer about fights and distance in my husband-wife relationship?

Yes, you can ask about fights and distance in your marriage on Kismo, where verified Vedic astrologers read your chart by chat or call. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. It works online from anywhere in India and abroad, and the average first reply comes in 9 seconds.
