Before even considering the synastry between two horoscopes it is equally important to judge each of the charts separately to inspect the potential shown for harmonious relationships. If somebody's horoscope shows strong afflictions to the significators of marriage and relationship, it may not matter who they are matched with, they still may have serious problems.

The above shown chart has Mars in the 7th house in the nakshatra of ava yogi planet Rahu. The 7th lord of wife is in the 8th house in association with Rahu the planet of insatiable desires. Venus the karaka of wife and marital happiness has the destructive 10th house aspect of Saturn. Venus is in the nakshatra of Ketu and Ketu is being crushed by Mars, Saturn and Rahu. Venus is also the 7th lord from Chandra lagna in the 8th house from the 7th aspected by Saturn. In navamsha Venus is in the 8th house aspected by Saturn. Without even looking at the wife's horoscope it would be fair to say this man's horoscope shows severe difficulties in regards to being able to sustain a long relationship. Last year when transit Saturn as 7th lord moved into the 7th house from the natal Moon in 10th house aspect to the natal 7th house, the wife left this man without giving any reason. Saturn is also the 6th lord of litigation and now the two are bitter enemies who will no doubt settle

The above chart is also of a girl who has had trouble sustaining relationships with any man. She has two malefics in Mars and Saturn in the 7th house and Mercury the 7th lord is ava yogi planet located in the 6th house or 12th house of loss from the 7th house afflicted by Rahu and Ketu. Venus falls in the nakshatra of this afflicted Mercury and receives the 10th house aspect of Saturn and the aspect of Rahu. Venus is in the 4th house of domestic happiness and Mars is very badly afflicted in the 7th house aspecting the lagna, the 2nd house of family and the 10th house, which is the partners house of domestic happiness. In navamsha Venus is in association with two seperative planets in Sun and Saturn. I call this girl Kali the Goddess of destruction as she is a very sweet and kind girl but is actually a man-eater who has caused men a lot of misery.

The above horoscope is of O.J Simpson and shows the 7th lord Saturn in the 12th house of loss as ava yogi planet. Mars the planet of violence is very strong with dig bala in the 10th house boosted by Rahu and Sun the lagna lord and planet of health is in the 11th house in trine to Jupiter. Clearly this shows supreme physical power but it is not backed up by the balance of a good mind as the Moon is in the 8th house as dispositor of a retrograde Mercury and Saturn located in the 12th house of self undoing. Venus the karaka of wife is hemmed in between Rahu and Mars on one side and Sun on the other. Venus is in the nakshatra of Rahu and Rahu is with the planet of violence Mars in the 12th house of loss from Venus. The position of Mars shows it aspecting the lagna and the 4th house of domestic happiness. In navamsha the rashi 7th lord Saturn is located in the 8th house afflicted by Mars.

The above horoscope is of a woman who has had nothing but grief in her relationships with men. It is one of the worst charts I have ever seen for marriage and I warned her to avoid any further marriage at all costs. Firstly the 7th lord is ava yogi planet located in the 8th house from the 7th house afflicted by Mars. Rahu is in the 7th house in its own nakshatra and in aspect to Venus by close orb. Her male planets are badly afflicted with Mars afflicted by Saturn and Sun also afflicted by Saturn. The Sun is in the nakshatra of Mercury and Mercury is afflicted by Mars whose karaka benefits are spoiled by his association with ava yogi Saturn. From the Moon lagna Mars is the 7th lord again afflicted by Saturn. In the last few years a number of men this woman was dating died suddenly and she has been married twice with one husband also dying. I warned her not to kill any more men. The navamsha chart is no better with Venus in particular very badly afflicted. Most of this woman's many problems stem from her early childhood which was difficult as shown by Mars and Saturn in the 2nd house.

The above charts are also an indication of the Leo lagna and the fact the 7th lord is also the 6th lord of litigation. Very often the partner for Leo's become an enemy in the long run and the marriage ends up in court. This also can relate to business and partners in general. The Sun likes to be the boss and can sub-ordinate the partner also as Saturn is the 6th lord of servants or workers. O.J Simpson's chart in particular shows the fire energy very strong with a lack of balancing aspects from the watery planets. His chart is of a fallen Leo who would have thought "How dare that women leave me" he wouldn't have seen it was his large ego and willfullness that drove her away. He would have given the wife plenty of passion and sex but probably no nurturing. He has Sun and Venus which gives him a pleasant nature but behind that would have been an explosive temper as shown by Mars and Rahu.
