Patni Shraapa - Curse of the Wife Calculator
What is Patni Shraapa?
Patni Shraapa — "curse of the wife" — is read when the 7th house of partnership and Venus, the karaka of the wife and marriage, are afflicted by Rahu, Ketu or Saturn. It is treated as carried-over karma around marriage and partnership, not as a literal curse spoken in this life, and it asks for respect and remedies rather than fear.
The pattern can show as friction, delay or unresolved duty in marriage and close partnership. Mutual respect, fair dealing with a spouse or partner, and the classical pacification remedies are traditionally said to soften it. Many charts with this mark still enjoy lasting marriages once the theme is met with honesty, patience and care.
How strongly it expresses depends on the depth of affliction to the 7th house and Venus, and on whether Jupiter or other benefics also protect them. The Dasha of Venus, the 7th lord or the afflicting planets is when partnership themes are most active. Enter exact birth details for accurate placement, weigh the Navamsa as well, and always read Patni Shraapa within the complete chart — never from the name alone. Mutual respect in marriage is both the goal of the reading and a living form of the remedy itself.
