For example, if 2 factors, Saturn and Jupiter, occur in the same birth chart, we can add them together. Depending on the condition of Venus, but in general, we can say, Cancer Ascendant

- Saturn in the 7th House (Capricorn, own sign): 2 years

- Jupiter in the 2nd House (Leo, friendly sign): 5 years

Marriage is a 7-year delay. One might get married at 32.

- Saturn in the 2nd House (Leo, enemy Sign): 9 years

- Jupiter in 7th House (Capricorn, debilitated): 9 years.

Marriage is delayed by 18 years. One might get married at 43.
