Generally in astrology there are two marriage significator planets and they define what type of partner you will get. Jupiter and Venus are the most important planets when we look for married life because Jupiter is the karaka of husband in a women chart and Venus is the karaka for wife in a man chart. By looking at the house in which these planets are placed one can predict about the place where one can meet the spouse and by their sign placement one can predict about the temperament of the spouse. But it gives only half information about the partner.
In Jaimini astrology there is darakaraka. Darakaraka is the planet who has the lowest degree in the chart and it signifies the nature of the spouse. Depending on which planet has the lowest degree the person gets a spouse according to the planet's nature. The sign of the darakaraka planet plays a major role in explaining what kind of nature darakaraka planet has. If darakaraka planets are conjunct or aspected by other planets (whether planet is enemy or friend). If it is aspected or conjunct by a friendly planet then it is going to help the darakaraka planet and the person get a good partner. But if it is an enemy then it is going to harm the darakaraka planet and the person might get a partner who would not be supportive. If the darakaraka planet retrograde, combust it also affects and shows different kinds of nature.
e.g. if The Sun in Aries is a darakaraka planet, then the person gets the spouse who has nature like Sun in Aries. But if there is Sun in Libra sign, then the person gets a spouse who has nature like Sun in Libra. As the planets change sign the nature of the partner also changes. However these are the general behaviors of the darakaraka planet in the chart.
Rahu and Ketu are not considered Darakaraka, because they are not the physical planet.
