Shhandhha Yoga in Astrology – Part 2: Impact on Relationships and Extramarital Affairs: 5 Powerful Remedies
April 10, 2025 Table of Contents
1. Introduction
In Vedic astrology, Shhandhha Yoga is not only associated with sexual dysfunction and frigidity but also with relationship struggles, lack of attraction towards one’s spouse, and extramarital affairs.
This part of the blog will focus on how Shhandhha Yoga influences relationships, marriage, and fidelity.
This yoga is mentioned in Sambu Hora Prakasha and is formed when:
✔ Venus is in the 7th house, receiving an aspect from the Lagna lord placed in Lagna, while the 7th lord is retrograde and Moon is accompanied by Saturn.
Since Venus represents love, relationships, and passion, its placement in the 7th house (house of marriage and partnerships) with negative planetary influences can lead to:
- Loss of attraction towards a spouse.
- Emotional detachment and dissatisfaction in marriage.
- Possibility of extramarital affairs, secret relationships, or second marriages.
The effects differ for men and women, which will be analyzed separately.
2. Formation of Shhandhha Yoga – Relationship Struggles and Infidelity
Shhandhha Yoga is formed when:
✔ Venus is in the 7th house.
✔ Venus receives an aspect from the Lagna lord placed in Lagna.
✔ The 7th house lord is retrograde.
✔ Moon is accompanied by Saturn.
These conditions indicate marital disharmony, lack of satisfaction in relationships, and a higher likelihood of infidelity or multiple relationships.
