While compatibility and mutual attraction play an important role in the success of a relationship, you can also take a deeper look at your relationship by checking out the stars. Celebrity astrologer and prophesier Pandit Jagannath Guruji says one can always rely on astrology to tell whether a love relationship would last.
He says, "As per Vedic astrology, planetary positions and combination act as a driving force in romantic relationships, just like they do in other spheres of life. Two of the key determinants in your astrological chart are Venus and Moon. These dictate how a relationship would be, the possibility of a breakup or whether a person would indulge in multiple affairs. It is necessary for the two planets to match for any alliance to be fruitful. Venus dictates romanticism and sexual compatibility while Moon determines how intense a relationship would be. Also, the 5th House in a horoscope determines the fate of relationship, love and marriage."
He also points out watching out for Venus placements. If Venus is too strong in your chart then the probability of having affairs is quite high. Planetary combinations that prove to be fatal for a relationship are Venus and Rahu, Venus and Mars and, Venus and Saturn. When Rahu, Mars or Saturn appear alongside Venus, the couple is most likely to break up.
"When Venus, Mars and Rahu reside in the 6th House of a partner’s horoscope, there is a high probability of the couple heading for a breakup. Apart from this, any planet in the 8th House also suggests a troubled relationship, fraught with miscommunication and eventually ending up in a breakup. The relationship is also least likely to survive when Ketu is in the 5th House. Furthermore, if a married person’s horoscope has the influence of Rahu, Ketu and Mars, he or she is quite likely to get into an extra-marital relationship," he adds.
Pandit Jagannath also suggests that the role of different doshas, such as Khuja Dosha, Rahu Dosha and Sarpa Dosha in determining whether a relationship would last. However, there are puja-based remedies for all aforementioned possibilities.
