In Vedic astrology, the nature of a person, including traits like aggressiveness or violence, can be understood through the positions and relationships of planets in their birth chart (kundli). While a single factor can't be solely responsible for such behavior, certain planetary combinations or "yogas" (a specific combination of planets) can indicate a predisposition to such traits. Here are some of the planetary configurations that might be associated with an aggressive or violent spouse, particularly in the case of a wife:
# # # 1. **Mars (Mangal) and Venus (Shukra) Affliction:**
- **Mars** represents aggression, physical energy, and conflict. If Mars is placed poorly or is in conjunction with **Venus** (the planet of love, relationships, and harmony) or **the 7th house** (house of marriage), it can result in tension and aggression in relationships. When Mars is placed in the 7th house, there can be disputes and impulsive behavior that lead to conflicts in marriage.
- Mars also impacts the **Navamsa chart**, and if afflicted in this chart, it can indicate a wife with an angry or aggressive nature.
# # # 2. **Placement of Malefic Planets in the 7th House:**
- The **7th house** represents marriage and partnerships. Malefic planets like **Saturn, Mars, or Rahu** placed here can cause significant tension, leading to a wife with an aggressive or violent temperament. Rahu's influence, in particular, can bring out erratic and unpredictable behavior.
- If these planets are also in conjunction with the **Moon**, it can lead to emotional volatility, which could contribute to aggression.
# # # 3. **Mars or Ketu in the 4th House:**
- The **4th house** represents peace, domestic life, and emotional well-being. Mars or **Ketu** here can create disharmony and restlessness in the domestic sphere, often resulting in conflicts and violent outbursts. Mars, in particular, creates an environment of irritability and impatience.
# # # 4. **Moon in Affliction (with Malefic Planets):**
- The **Moon** represents emotions, mind, and temperament. If the Moon is in conjunction or aspect from **malefic planets** like **Rahu, Ketu, or Mars**, it can cause emotional instability and a volatile temperament. This can manifest as aggression or a tendency toward violent behavior.
# # # 5. **Rahu and Ketu:**
- The shadow planets **Rahu** and **Ketu** can have a significant influence on behavior. When Rahu is in the 7th house of marriage, it may cause confusion and deceit, which can lead to anger and erratic behavior. Ketu can create emotional isolation and, when combined with malefic planets, can produce frustration and irrational outbursts.
# # # 6. **Sun and Mars Conjunction or Aspect:**
- The **Sun** represents authority and self-expression, while **Mars** represents aggression and assertiveness. A conjunction or aspect between these two planets can produce a fiery and domineering personality, sometimes leading to aggressive behavior in relationships.
# # # 7. **Saturn's Influence:**
- A weak **Saturn** in the 7th house can indicate a strained marriage, often causing frustration and mental stress. If Saturn forms an adverse aspect with **Venus**, **Moon**, or **Mars**, it can make the individual feel emotionally disconnected, which may result in anger or passive-aggressive tendencies.
# # # 8. **Venus and Mars Conjunction or Aspect:**
- A strong **Venus-Mars** combination in the natal chart can sometimes indicate heightened emotional responses and passionate arguments. If this combination is aspected negatively by malefic planets like **Saturn** or **Rahu**, it may lead to volatility, especially in marital life.
# # # 9. **Navamsa Chart:**
- Analyzing the **Navamsa** chart (the 9th divisional chart) is essential to understand the deeper layers of a marriage. Malefic influences in the 7th house of the Navamsa chart can indicate a tendency toward aggression and violence in marital relationships.
# # # 10. **Planetary Dasha Periods:**
- The timing of planetary **dasha periods** (planetary cycles) can also influence behavior. If the **Mars** or **Rahu dasha** is running, there may be an increase in aggression or mental turmoil. The dasha of malefic planets can trigger these tendencies in an individual.
# # # Key Remedies:
- To mitigate the effects of such planetary afflictions, remedies such as **wearing gemstones** (e.g., red coral for Mars, diamond for Venus), **chanting mantras**, **performing pujas**, and **doing astrological remedies** like **feeding dogs or cows**, and **donating to charities** can help balance the energies.
- Meditation, stress-relief practices, and conflict resolution techniques can also be beneficial in reducing aggressive tendencies.
# # # Final Thought:
Aggression and violence in relationships are complex issues that might have many contributing factors, both psychological and astrological. In astrology, multiple planetary influences need to be examined in detail, including the **D9 (Navamsa)** chart and specific **dasha periods**, to gain a clearer understanding of such tendencies..Astrologer Monika Agarwal
