How to Overcome delays in Life through Astrology

Nature has fixed a time for all works. It rains when the time comes, trees bear fruits when the time comes and autumn also comes according to the time. Similarly in a person’s lifetime from birth to death if every work is done on time then the life of such a person is considered successful and happy, but sometimes such astrological reasons are formed in the person’s horoscope due to which every work of his is delayed and done after the appropriate time has passed. 

The works that are delayed or completed after the right time often lose their relevance which creates sadness and disappointment in the mind. Delays in life whether in career, marriage, or personal goals, can be incredibly frustrating. 

In Vedic astrology, these setbacks are not random but are linked to the influence of planets in your birth chart. This guide explains how different planets and astrological factors can cause these delays and what you can do about them.

Key astrological houses and their impact on delays:

Certain houses in your birth chart affect specific areas of life, and malefic (negative) influences here can lead to delays:

• First house (Ascendant): Represents self and overall life direction. Issues here can slow progress in all areas.
• Seventh house: Deals with marriage and partnerships. Negative influences can delay marriage and business deals.
• Tenth house: Relates to career and social status. Challenges in this house can delay professional success.
• Fifth house: Connected to education, creativity, and children. Malefic effects can delay learning and childbirth.

Planetary effects on delays:

Certain planets especially when placed unfavorably are known for causing delays:

• Saturn (Shani): The planet of discipline and karma, Saturn is famous for causing delays and obstacles. Saturn is a slow-moving planet. When Saturn’s aspect or influence falls on a house then there is a delay in work related to that house. For, if Saturn’s aspect is on the seventh house or seventh lord then the person gets married late. Similarly, if Saturn’s aspect or influence falls on the tenth house then the person gets livelihood very late.
• Rahu and Ketu: These Shadow planets bring unexpected delays and confusion. Rahu often leads to illusions and prolonged waiting while Ketu brings detachment and missed chances.
• Mars (Mangal): Known for impulsiveness, mars can cause delays through rushed or misguided actions, especially if retrograde.
• Moon (Chandra): Governs emotions and mental state. An afflicted Moon can cause emotional instability, slowing down decision-making.
