We have talked about marriage a few times and he says soon. When will he propose? I have both our birth details.
Thank you, both charts help. I will look at the dashas you are each running and the Jupiter and Venus transits over your 7th houses. That gives a sense of timing; his words and plans tell you the rest.
Short answer
Nobody can promise that he will propose or say exactly when, because the choice is his. In Vedic astrology, many astrologers read proposal and marriage timing from Jupiter and Venus transits and the dashas linked to the 7th house, in your chart and in his if you have it. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read this timing by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about will he commit?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| The question | Whether, and when, a partner may propose marriage |
| What a reading looks at | Dashas linked to the 7th house, Jupiter and Venus transits, in both charts |
| What it cannot do | Choose for him, or name a date he must keep |
| Who can propose | Either partner; no classical verse on this page limits it to the man |
| What to bring | Both birth dates, times and places if he has shared his, and how long you have been together |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute, 5 free minutes in the first session, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What does an astrologer check to see when he will propose?
- Jupiter's transit. Phaladeepika chapter 10, sloka 14, ties marriage to Jupiter moving through a sign in trine to the 7th lord 3.
- Venus and the 7th lord in transit. Sloka 12 of the same chapter looks at them passing a sign in trine to the ascendant lord's sign 3.
- The dasha running in each chart. Astrologers note whether a planet in or ruling the 7th house is active, and whether both charts agree.
- Your 7th house as a whole. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 80.4 reads the husband's fortune and marital happiness from it 4.
- His career and family timing, read from his 10th and 4th houses, since a proposal often waits on both.
What changes the answer to will he propose?
- Whether you have both talked about marriage. A couple who agree on the goal ask about timing; a couple who have not talked ask about intent.
- Whether your families know and approve. In India a proposal often waits on both families, and caste or religion can slow it.
- Whether you have his birth details. Timing from one chart is half the picture.
- Whether you would propose yourself. Nothing in astrology says only the man may ask.
Who usually proposes, and how do Indian couples get to marriage?
Most young adults still expect the man to propose. In a 2009-10 survey of 277 US students, 68.4% of men said they would definitely want to propose 1. Of the women, 66% said they would definitely want their partner to 1.
Not one man said he would definitely want his partner to propose, and not one woman said she would definitely want to 1. The researchers linked this to traditional gender roles.
In India, families often stand between a proposal and a wedding. Among college-educated women in the India Human Development Survey 2011-12, 77% had a parent-arranged marriage in which they took part 2. 48% of them had met their husband before marriage, against 14% of women with no schooling 2.
| Fact | Number | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Men who would definitely want to propose | 68.4% | 1 |
| Women who would definitely want the partner to propose | 66% | 1 |
| Married young Indians with a love-cum-arranged marriage | 4% | 5 |
| Love marriages that crossed caste lines | 34% | 5 |
| College-educated women who met their husband before marriage | 48% | 2 |
Mixed paths are rare but real. In the Lokniti-CSDS youth study, 4% of married youth called their marriage love-cum-arranged, and a third of love marriages crossed caste lines 5. A Kismo astrologer can read timing and family houses, but cannot speak to his family for you.
What else do people ask about when he will propose?
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Can a tarot card tell me if he will propose? | Tarot reflects the moment you ask; it is not a date |
| Is Propose Day or Valentine's Day a lucky time? | No classical text names these days; they are modern dates |
| He keeps saying next year. Is that a sign? | It is a sign to ask what has to happen first |
| Can I ask a muhurta for the proposal itself? | Yes, many astrologers pick a good day once you both agree |
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: Only the man is allowed to propose, astrologically.
Phaladeepika chapter 10 times marriage by transits and dashas and says nothing about who asks first 3. Who proposes is a social custom, not a chart rule.
Belief: A proposal can only come in his own marriage dasha.
Phaladeepika chapter 10, sloka 13, also names the lagna lord's transit of the 7th house sign, so astrologers read more than one window 3.

Questions people ask
When will he propose to me according to astrology?
Astrology cannot give the exact day he will propose, because he decides. Many astrologers read likely windows from Jupiter and Venus transits and from dashas linked to the 7th house, in both charts. Treat any window as a guide to timing, and talk with him about plans to learn his intent.
How long should I wait for him to propose?
There is no fixed time, but many people set a limit after they have talked about marriage, often a year or two. If he avoids the topic entirely, waiting longer rarely changes much. Tell him what you need and by when, kindly and once, and decide what you will do if nothing moves.
How do I ask my boyfriend when he will propose without pressure?
Ask your boyfriend openly about timing, not about the ring: what has to happen first, like a job, savings or family talks. Choose a calm moment and say what you hope for. A shared plan takes pressure off you both, and his answer shows whether marriage is on his mind.
Is it okay for me to propose to him instead?
Yes, it is okay to propose to him if you want to. No classical astrology text cited on this page says only men may ask, and some couples prefer it. Many people still expect the man to propose, so think about how he and both families may feel, and choose a private moment.
How does a Kismo reading about a proposal work?
A Kismo reading about a proposal works by chat or call: share both birth details if you have them, and the astrologer reads your dashas and transits. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. Billing is per started minute from your wallet.
An astrologer says a costly yantra will make him propose. Should I buy it?
No, do not buy a yantra, stone or ritual sold to make him propose. Nothing can decide another person's choice, and urgent selling is a common red flag. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual. On Kismo, an astrologer who pressures you or asks for money outside the app is handled by a person.
