People often wonder, what indicates the spouse in the astrology chart.  In the husbands chart, Venus represents the wife.  Venus is also the planet of love.  In a woman’s chart, Jupiter represents the husband and Mars represents the boyfriend.  You can also look at the Darakaraka to see which planet represents the spouse.  The DaraKaraka is the planet in your chart that holds the lowest degree out of all planets.  This is used in Vedic astrology, so this is only relevant when using the 7 visible planets, Sun through Saturn.  When you calculate a birth chart, each planet has a degree. Find the planet with the lowest degree and that planet is your DaraKaraka.  This planet can be seen as a way to indicate the spouse in the astrology chart.  The 7th house also shows the characteristics of your spouse while the 5th house shows more of the dating experience.
