There are many, many ways to calculate marriage timers in the chart. Secondary progressions (especially prog. moon) is one of the best ways. You can also look at transits and your Sun/Moon midpoint.

Here I will tell you a way to discover your marriage years in your Natal chart. Hope it’s not too confusing.

Sometimes the marriage year will show up easily in the natal chart. You look to the distance between your love planets (Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars) and the angles of your chart and sometimes the Part of Marriage.

First you count the number of degrees between the love planets (S, Mo, V, and Ma) and the angles of your chart (ASC, DSC, MC and IC)

For example: I have Venus at 25 degrees Gem. in my fifth house. If I count the degrees to my DC which is at 18 degrees Cancer I get 23 degrees, in between that love planet and the angle. This is a possible marriage age for me: 23 years old. Well, that one didnt happen. But there are more.

I have Mars at 15 degrees Leo in the 7th house. If we count back the degrees to the DC (18' Can) – in this case we get 27 degrees in between – another possible marriage age.

I also have the Sun at 26' Taurus, 12 degrees away from my IC. Obviously I would not be getting married at 12 yrs. old. In some cases you double the number, as in this case. And I have 24 another possible marriage date. I was with the (one of) love of my life at that age, and although we didnt get married, I felt like I was married to him. A very karmic relationship.

Okay now to the Moon. At 29 degrees Virgo in the 8th house. The next closest angle is my MC at 14' Scorp. There are 44 degrees between these two points. Fourty-four years old is another possible marriage timer.

Now obviously you cant rely on this way of timing alone. There are other things that will set it off if there is to be an actual marriage. In actual marriages you will often see about 9 or more triggers. Whether they be by transit, secondary progression, solar return planets aspecting natal planets, most likely a number of these things going on all at once. Dont rely on this alone. It is definately a great timing tool though.

The best timer for any event but especially marriages for women is a Moon/Mars aspect. Usually the conjunction of the two. (not transiting moon to mars though )

I will provide some more info if you’d like when I can find the book I learned all of this from. This is just something I remembered and it is usually spot on.

Again I will say there will be many other things going on in the chart at the time of something important like a marriage. There is alot to be looked at. This can give a good reference though.

I’ll look for the book and get back to you. Pay close attention to the Progressed Moon. It is the biggest timer in a chart.

***Also this method doesnt work for every chart. Some people’s love planets are all too far away from the angles. In this case you look to other methods. It doesnt mean you wont get married.
