What is the difference between Preeti Shadastak and Mrityu shadastak?

Preeti shadastak is shadastaka of signs whose lords are friendly to each other or both signs are owned by same planet. It promotes love and well being inspite of having many differences with each other. These people can be friends as there fights and differences mellow down due to their attraction for each other.

Mrityu Shadastak is shadastaka of signs whose lords are worse enemies of each other. These people will feel strained and suffocated in a relationship in the long run. The initial attraction and love fades away with time bringing a lot of stress in relationships. It kills the relationship between two people in the long run.

Does Mrityu shadastak cause death? Is it death shadastak?

Absolutely not, the word Mrityu indicates death of the relationship due to stress, fights and lots of differences in the long run. They began to despise each other and develop hatred at some point if there are other extreme combinations in the horoscope. Their relationships turn sour due to incompatibility between them which kills it.

Even in general relationships you will realize that you do not get along with certain people inspite of trying very hard for it. There are a lot of differences between the two people which does not let them have a harmonious relationship, they might began as best friends but end as worse enemies of each other. This happens in mrityushadastaka.

Loose interpretation of astrological sutras leads to spreading such fears and rumors in the society. Mrityushadastaka does not kill anyone but spoils the relationship resulting in death of the relationship between two people as things reach beyond tolerable levels for both at some point.

Remedies for shadastak dosha

Rashi shadastak is not a dosha. There are no remedies for Rashi shadastak, it is just that the mental make up of two people is not compatible for each other. If the promise of marriage and married life is good in the horoscope there won’t be severe issues in the relationships.

There will be friction and stress in relationships leading to no attraction and love between the two people if bad planetary combinations are there in the horoscope. Some people just live with each other for entire life inspite of having no compatibility, no respect, no attraction for each other, they can be an example of mrityu shadastak.

Conclusion:- Rashi shadastak does not cause death.

• Signs having Preeti Shadastaka can marry each other.
• Signs having Mrityu shadastaka should possibly avoid tying the wedding knot.

Note: Complete horoscope analysis should be done before reaching any conclusion. Just having a rashi shadastak yog does not ensure bad married life or a bad horoscope compatibility. Other supportive planetary position do modify the outcome and some rashi shadastak people can share good relationships.
