Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 1. Introduction: Today we are in a modern world. Marriages are not made in heaven nowadays but are decided by the boy and the girl themselves. Gone are the days when the parents of the boy and the girl decide on the suitability of the relationship between the boy and the girl and then decide on the unification of them. But, to some extent, it is still considered as a sacred occasion by the Hindus at least. Even when a boy and a girl decide to unite themselves in wedlock, majority of them still feel that whether their horoscopes are matching or not.

It is always advisable to approach a well known astrologer before marriage and have his opinion regarding the adaptability of the boy and the girl.

There are various factors which assume importance while matching of horoscopes for the purpose of marriage. I propose to divide them into three groups, first being the so called Kuta Agreement, the second - General study of the charts of the boy and the girl for various facets of life like – Longevity, Financial soundness, Multiple marriages, various Doshas etc., etc. The last part will be the timing of marriage as unless the chart promises proper timing of marriage, there is no point in going ahead with the matching. The first part viz. Kuta agreement is dealt with in this book.

Apart from the numerous articles that I had studied, I made a thorough study of Prasna Marga – English translation of Dr. B.V.Raman. The Chapter No. XXI deals totally with Marriage Compatibility. Every one will agree with me that Prasna Marga is one of the most important classics dealing in predictive astrology. According to Dr. B.V.Raman it reveals methods peculiar to the genius of Kerala. One important aspect of Prasna Marga is that - it considerably reduces the work load of many astrologers who had to refer to various classical treatises as references - on various celebrated treatises such as Mahadeva’s Muhurta, Santana Deepika, Prasna Sangraha, Gnana Pradeepika, Brihat Jataka, Shatpanchasika and Vidwajjana Vallabha to emphasize certain combinations. Another important book of which only portions are available with me – namely ‘Kalaprakashika’ was also referred and wherever there is a discrepancy between the two, I have mentioned it at the appropriate places. I also would like to place on record my sincere thanks to great authors like Dr. B.V.Raman,

yenbeeyes 2. Marriage: What is marriage?

Marriage is a social, religious, spiritual, emotional and/or legal union of a man and a woman. It is the physical, mental and spiritual union of two souls. The physical union creates a progeny so that the culture and civilization can be transferred from one generation to another. The mental union creates an atmosphere to withstand the various vicissitudes in life only to grow stronger and more stable. The spiritual union leads to love, loyalty, compassion, self-control, self-discipline and above all commitment to each other and then to the society at large. It is not a contract entered into for a specific period and to be broken at one’s own whims and fancies. The intention is to make it a permanent one. Under the Hindu Dharma, marriage was and is regarded as a religious sacrament and comprehends the equality of the partner to follow the path of Purushartha which are Dharma (Righteousness), Artha (Wealth), Kama (Desire) and Moksha (Salvation).

When the question of marriage is taken up in a Hindu family, many things demand their attention. The important parameters to be taken into consideration are the physical fitness, mental qualities, heredity, sexual compatibility and social and economic status of the boy and the girl. Sex element takes the precedence in today’s position leaving out the social and psychological factors. As per Hindu Shastras, there are minimum and maximum age limits for marriage. Marriages between same Gotra (Sa-Gotra) are not favored as it will have an adverse influence

on

the offspring. Inter-racial, inter-communal and inter-religious

marriages are frowned upon or are not accepted as in such unions there are cultural differences.

Taking into consideration of various factors like this, the Hindus have taken recourse to astrological means of judging marriage compatibility so that the relation between the persons to be united can withstand the strains of life. If a proper matching of the horoscopes of the bride and the groom are undertaken before marriage, there will be fewer separations than at present. The physical fitness of the bride and groom can be done by a medical expert. What about the mental fitness or the happiness or unhappiness that is to come after marriage? According to Dr. B.V.Raman “Happiness largely rests upon so many factors that the aid of astrology should be sought for by every sensible individual.”

yenbeeyes 3. Important things to be seen while matching of charts: Dr. B.V. Raman emphasizes on three factors in selecting horoscopes for marriage purposes. The longevity of the bride and the bridegroom, the strength of the 7th and 8th houses and agreeability in regard to the Kutas or Poruthams should be the main criteria.

Inherent Compatibility must be present in the horoscopes of both the boy and the girl. The kuta system is to be used only as a supplement and to be considered only when there is general compatibility between the horoscopes of the parties who are to be united. In certain parts of India, many horoscopes are getting rejected simply because some of the Kutas are not matching. We come across in various forums and groups questions regarding the nonmatching of Kutas. Majority of such people solely rely on the free matching services rendered by innumerable web sites. Therefore it is essential to study the general strength of the charts before going into the Kuta System. While looking at the General Strength the following points need to be considered at length”

1. Longevity 2. Physical fitness, emotional mind and status 3. Lagna matching 4. Subhapati matching 5. Upapada matching 6. Ghataka matching 7. Dasavidha porutham or the Ten Kuta or agreement 8. The non-scoring Kuta 9. Presence of Dosha 10. Strength of planets according to their placements 11. Strength of Bhava 12. Effect of planets placed in a particular Bhava

When so much is to be analyzed while matching of charts, it becomes essential to have the assistance of an astrologer as he alone can find out the details on the above aspects and give the result. Nowadays, in the Internet, there are various sites offering free matching of charts which are mainly based on the ten kuta or eight kuta only which is definitely not sufficient. In this book I am taking up only the kuta matching – both the scoring and the

6

yenbeeyes non-scoring ones as it is also essential part of matching and which can be understood by everyone even without any knowledge of Astrology. The other aspects required for the purpose of matching of horoscopes will be taken up by me in the 2nd part of this book.

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 4. What is Kuta System of matching? Kuta means multitude, uniform substance. Kuta agreement is based on the birth stars as well as the Janma rasi of both. Each Kuta has a specific role to play and reveals the result like a scanning machine. There are as many as 40 kinds of agreements listed in various ancient books. It is not possible to fix a matrimonial alliance having all these agreements in a perfect condition. However, some of the most important agreements cannot be overlooked. The list of Kuta agreement also varies according to Desh, Kaal and Paatra. In the south India they rely on 10 Kutas whereas in the north they take into account only 8 Kutas. Points are also given to the 8 Kutas. In Kalaprakashika it is given as ‘Dasavidha Porutham’ (Ten Kuta/agreements). Narada Purana states only 8 kinds of agreement. I give below the main Kutas which are to be seen while matching of charts.

List of important Kutas to be seen are: 1. Dina 2. Gana 3. Mahendra 4. Stree Deergha 5. Yoni 6. Rasi 7. Rasyadhipa 8. Vasya 9. Rajju 10. Nadi 11. Vedha 12. Varna

The order of Kutas as given above from Dr B.V.Raman’s Muhurta (Electional Astrology) with a slight change of bringing in the Nadi as the tenth one which is the last one as given by him. The order has no relevance here. It can be in any manner. But while considering the Point based Kutas where a score or point has been assigned to each of the Kutas, the order is important.

8

yenbeeyes In the point system of matching (as seen in many web sites) they assign 36 points. The Kutas taken for this purpose along with the marks for each are given below:

They are grouped as below: 1st Group is based on Janma Rasi – They are 4 in number - Rasi, Rasi Yoni, Vasya Rasi, Rasi position. 2nd is based on Lord of the Janma Rasi – Rasyadhipa 3rd is based on Chitta (love) 4th is based on Vayas (Age) 5th is based on Nakshatra which has 16 agreements. They are: 1. Nakshatra (Dina) 2. Gana 3. Mahendra 4. Stree Deergha 5. Yoni 6. Vasya 7. Rajju 8. Vedha 9. Varna 10. Gotra

yenbeeyes 5. Importance of the Kutas: According to Sarvartha Siddhi, 20 items of compatibilities are to be looked into. Important among them are – Janma Rasi, Lord of Janma Rasi, Vasya, Mahendra and Yoni.

According to Prasna Marga, for matrimonial purposes the most important items of concordance to be considered are: Janma Rasi, Lord of Janma Rasi, Vasya, Mahendra, Gana, Yoni, Dina and Stree Deergha.

According to Muhurthabharana, Janma Rasi, Lord of Janma Rasi, Mahendra, Yoni and Vasya are the five most important sources of agreement that should be considered.

Madhava gives 15 items for consideration in all. Of these, Mahendra, Yoni, Janma Rasi and Lord of Janma Rasi are the most important. Brahmins should look into the Gotra they are born in. Others should consider the agreement in respect of Varna.

According to Kalaprakashika, Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree Deergha, Yoni, Rasi, Rasyadhipa, Vasya, Rajju and Nadi are important for Brahmins. Dina, Gana, Yoni, Rasi and Rajju are indispensable for Brahmins. Gana is essential for Kshatriya, Rasi for Vysya and Yoni for Sudra. But for all casts Rajju is important. If 5 or more Kutas including Rajju is found to be in agreement then the marriage can be performed.

The following are the 8 factors as given in Muhurta Chinthamani:

uÉhÉÉãï mÉzrÉÇ iÉjÉÉ iÉÉUÉ rÉÉåÌlÉ¶É aÉëW ûqÉæ§ÉMüqÉç | aÉhÉqÉæ§ÉÇ pÉMÔüOÇû cÉ lÉÉQûÏ cÉæiÉã aÉÑhÉÉÍkÉMüÉ: || (1) Varna; (2) Vasya; (3) Tara; (4) Yoni; (5) Grahamaitri; (6) Gana (7) Rasi; (8) Nadi. In the point system out of 36 points if the score comes to 18 or more then the charts are said to be in agreement. However in this case, the most important factor of Rajju kuta has not been taken into account. Since there are conflicting views on this, it is better we study the underlying indications of each of these Kutas and then take a final decision as to which one is important and which is not so important. The following table gives a list of the Kutas and their indications:

11

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes List of Kutas and their indications as stated by many writers: Kuta Dina

Indications Dinath Ayushyam Aarokyam Ensures that the couple remains healthy and free from diseases and enjoy all comforts of life. Absence of this agreement may lead to difference of opinion on day to day matters leading to arguments and hence lack of support to each other.

Gana

Sobanam Ganam Evacha Some view it as Compatible sex life and some others are of the opinion that it is the matching of minds and temperament. We will go with the explanation of temperament and character of the couple.

Mahendra

Mahendram Puthira Vrithisyath Deals with good and prosperous children. Assures progeny. It also indicates the longevity of the relationship.

Stree

Stree Deerga Sarva Sampaththa

Deergha

Promotes welfare. Mainly deals with prosperity and wealth. Gives lasting relationships where the couples also enjoy rapport and togetherness. It also indicates a woman who will not become a widow.

Yoni

Yonitho Dhampathy Sneham Indicates sexual compatibility.

Rasi

Rasinam Vamsavirthi Kiruth Growth of family through the birth of a son. Another interpretation is cordial relationship between daughter-in-law and her in-laws. Madhavacharya says it indicates loss of money, sorrow, quarrels and misunderstanding, loss of children, diseases, danger and separation depending on the placement of male’s Janma rasi in an unfavorable position from that of the female.

Rasyadhipa

Santhanam Rasiyathipathy Santhana refers to progeny which has already been indicated by other Kutas. It appears to be duplication. Elders are of the view that it does not merely indicate progeny but noble children with yoga which may lead to prosperity. The underlying meaning is that it indicates the psychological dispositions of the couple, their individual mental attitudes and their affection to each other.

Vasya

Vasyath Anniyonnia Vasyaham Development of posterity, Assures mutual love and attachment. Vasya means

12

yenbeeyes subdued, tamed or humbled. And this is used to determine whether one partner will ‘win over’ the other. It suggests the degree or magnetic control or amenability that one would be able to exercise on other. Rajju

Rajju Mngalya Vrithysyath Felicity, great happiness in marriage and immunity from widowhood. This bestows on the wife ‘Deergha Mangalya Balam” means living happily with the husband for a long time.

Vedha

Vedhava Sohanasanam Vedha means affliction, penetration, piercing and disturbance. This agreement wards off all evils and pitfalls in married life and a happy and prosperous married life is assured as a result.

Varna

Varna is colour or nature or caste. It indicates the spiritual development of the couple.

Nadi

It shows how a couple works on spiritual plane and how their union will impact their children through the genes they inherit. Nadi means pulse which is a medical term and hence this agreement ensures health, longevity of the couple and happiness of children.

yenbeeyes 6. Tables required for Matching Before going into the rules for identifying the presence or absence of the above agreements, we have to prepare a table of Nakshatras and their various gunas so that the understanding of our rules becomes simpler. We know there are 27 Nakshatras which are taken into consideration. The 28th Nakshatra Abhijit is not taken into calculations except in certain specific Kutas which we will see later. When we talk of Nakshatra, it refers to the Janma Nakshatra or the Nakshatra ruling on the date of birth or we can say it is the Nakshatra where Moon is placed on the day of birth. It is also to be remembered that each Nakshatra consists of 4 padas and each Pada is of duration of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. There are 12 rasis and each rasi has 9 padas or two and a quarter nakshatra making it equal to 30 degrees. There are nine planets which are taken into consideration. The farthest planets like Uranus, Neptune etc. are not considered for this purpose. This constitutes the Rasi Mandal or Surya Mandal. With these basic principles the following tables are prepared.

Nakshatra Padas in Rasis: Pisces (Jupiter) Purvabhadrapada 4 Uttarabhadrapada 1, 2, 3, 4 Revathi 1, 2, 3, 4 Aquarius (Saturn) Dhanishta 3, 4 Satabhisha 1, 2, 3, 4 Purvabhadrapada 1, 2, 3 Capricorn (Saturn) Uttarashada 2, 3, 4 Sravana 1, 2, 3, 4 Dhanishta 1, 2 Sagittarius (Jupiter) Moola 1, 2, 3, 4 Purvashada 1, 2, 3, 4 Uttarashada 1

yenbeeyes The Nakshatras are also classified into 3 groups. Each group is assigned 9 Nakshatras. The first cycle is called 1st Paraya or Janma, the 2nd one is called 2nd Paraya or Anujanma and the 3rd cycle is termed as 3rd Paraya or Trijanma. The given below Table illustrates the classification.

yenbeeyes 7. Anukulyas (Sources of agreement) explained Now let us go to the rules or principles under each of the agreements. For easy understanding, I will give the rules first and then take a sample data and arrive at the result under each kuta. The sample data has the following birth details: Boy: Born on 10th June, 1981 at 6:37 AM at Mumbai. Girl: Girl born on 18th September, 1984 at 19:55 at Mumbai.

We do not need the horoscope at this moment. It is enough if we know the Janma Nakshatra and its Pada of both. This can be easily got from any Panchanga of that year or from the Internet also. Or if you can have access to any Astrological software, by giving the birth details, you will come to know of the star and its Pada on these days.

Let us construct a working table for the boy and the girl separately using the above tables: Boy

Now we will study the rules and apply them to the charts whose details we have culled out and see whether the charts are matching or not. One important thing to remember is that the all the reckonings are done beginning from the nakshatra of the girl unless otherwise specifically mentioned.

17

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.1. Dina: Rule: Count the nakshatra of the boy from that of the girl and divide it by 9. If the remainder is 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 then the Dina agreement is present. If the remainder is 1, 3, 5 or 7 then this agreement is not present. While dividing the counting by 9, if the count itself is 9 or less than 9, then the number counted is to be treated as the remainder.

Another way of calculating is that the boy’s nakshatra counted from the girl’s should not be the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 21st, 23rd or 25th. The bridegroom born in the 3rd and 7th Nakshatras from the girl’s brings in trouble. One born in the 5th causes more trouble. If both the Nakshatras are the same a separate treatment is to be given for which a separate chapter has been given. Kindly refer to the same.

The above calculations have their basis on Tara Bala. There are nine Tara balas. Their names, meanings and effects as below:

From the above we see that the numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 forebode evil or bad things. So it is better to avoid such constellations.

The number of units of compatibility assigned to this Kuta is 3

18

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Special: If the girl’s nakshatra is 22nd from that of the boy it is called Vainasikam and should be avoided according to some astrologers. But when we apply the above rule 22 when divided by 9 yields 4 as the reminder which is Kshema and hence could be considered auspicious. Similarly, I came across another saying that the 27th star is also to be avoided. This is also not acceptable as 27 divided by 9 yields zero which is nothing but 9 and this indicates Param Mitra.

In respect of common Nakshatras, where the rule will give you number 1. I shall be giving the rules for common Nakshatra compatibility separately but for the time being remember that If Bharani, Aslesha, Swathi, Jyeshta, Moola, Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Purvabhadrapada are the common Nakshatras of the boy and the girl they should not be united.

One more addition given in Prasna Marga deals with the Navamsa. For this book, since we are not going to construct any horoscopes, it will be difficult for the readers to follow this rule. So at the end of the chapters I have given a Navamsa table for all the 108 padas of the Nakshatras. From the table it will be easy to locate any particular Navamsa. According to Sloka 23 of Prasna Marga – If the boy’s Navamsa Moon is of 88th or 108th from that of the girl, it is inauspicious.

How to find out the Navamsa mentioned here. Just go the Navamsa Table given at the end of this book and locate the Nakshatra Pada of the person. Add 87 to the Pada number. The number you get is the 88th Navamsa. Scan through that row. Let us experiment this with our sample chart. The girl belongs to Mrigasirsha-4th Pada. Locate this Nakshatra and Pada in the Navamsa table which is as below:

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes The Navamsa Moon of the girl will be in Scorpio as per last column. The 88th Navamsa will be Aquarius. As per the rule, the boy’s Navamsa Moon should not be in Aquarius. You will observe that the 88th Navamsa will always be the fourth from the Natal Moon Navamsa. This is true for all cases. Hence in the Navamsa chart if the Boy’s Moon is in the fourth to that of the Girl, then as per this rule, there is no agreement present. If we go a little further, and do calculations as per Nakshatra, you will find that the Nakshatra of the 88th Navamsa will be the 23rd from Janma Nakshatra or the Nakshatra for which we are calculating the 88th Navamsa. This I leave it for the readers to verify. Now if we apply the original rule of division by – 23 divided by 9 leaves a reminder of 5 which in any case we will not accept. Now let us take up the 108th Navamsa. Applying the same principle the 108th Navamsa will be just the Navamsa before the Moon’s Nakshatra as there are only 108 Navamsa padas. However, in this case the original rule of division by 9 will not be working as the Nakshatra will be the 27th and dividing by 9 you get 0 which according to the original rule is an acceptable one. But according to this rule of Prasna Marga such a position is to be rejected.

In our example chart, Counting from girl’s nakshatra Mrigasirsha to boy’s nakshatra Uttara Phalguni it is 8 (Mrigasirsha, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Purvaphalguni and Uttaraphalguni). So Dina agreement is present in the charts.

yenbeeyes 7.2. Gana: This kuta has an important bearing on the temperament and character of the couple. According to Dr. B.V.Raman “Compatibility of temperament and not the identity of temperament are called for in astrology. A difference of temperament may be harmonious and complimentary. But a compatibility of temperament is essential to a satisfactory marriage union.”

Three types of temperaments have been recognized viz. Deva (Divine), Manushya (Human) and Rakshasa (Demonic). Deva is indicative of divine qualities such as goodness of character, charitable nature etc. Manushya is a mixture of good and bad. Rakshasa is dominance, violence and self-will. Each Nakshatra is assigned one these natures which can be seen from the Classification of table above. However for the benefit of the readers I give below the Nakshatras that fall under each of the three.

Rule: A deva can marry a Deva, a Manushya can marry a Manushya and a Rakshasa can marry a Rakshasa – This is highly propitious. Boy – Deva Gana and Girl – Manushya Gana – Fairly Good. Boy – Deva Gana and Girl – Rakshasa Gana – Not to be brought together. Boy – Rakshasa Gana and Girl – Manushya Gana – Ordinary. - Some consider this bad. Boy – Rakshasa Gana and Girl – Deva Gana – Ordinary. Boy – Manushya Gana and Girl – Deva Gana – Bad. – Some consider this as Ordinary. Boy – Manushya Gana and Girl – Rakshasa Gana – Not to be brought together. There is a difference of opinion in respect of two combinations viz. Girl is of Manushya Gana and Boy is of Raskshasa Gana and the other one is Girl Deva Gana and boy is of Manushya Gana. But according to Dr B.V.Raman ‘marriage between a Raskahasa man and a Deva or

21

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Manushya girl is acceptable.’ Hence we will take this as our rule for matching. A Deva will be full of piety and religious disposition and a Manushya will have a mixture of good and bad. Hence it may at times lead to differences. Since Dr. B.V.Raman is silent about this group we will go according to Prasna Marga which is that a man of Manushya gana and a girl of Deva Gana are bad. Neutralizing factor: If the Nakshatra of the bride is beyond the 14th from that of the groom, the evil influences may be nullified and that it is all right to wed.

The Gunas represent different psychological temperaments. We can roughly equate Deva with Satwic nature, Manushya with Thamasic nature and Rakshasa with Rajasic nature. According to Dr. BV Raman, a Rakshasa Gana girl is generally quarrelsome and capable of keeping the husband in perpetual tension, despite all the other desirable qualities she may have. If both the boy and the girl belong to Rakshasa Gana stars, the home will be virtually a battlefield, magnifying even the smallest issues as the biggest one. Either the husband or the wife should have an adjusting capacity if peace is required at home.

Prasna Marga gives some exceptions also. Exception rule: (Sloka 34-Chapter 21) three types of exceptions are stated here to override the objection of a boy born in a Manushya Gana Nakshatra marrying a girl born in a Rakshasa Gana Nakshatra. a. Nakshatra of the Lagna of the boy and the girl should indicate agreement by the rule of Gana stated above. b. Nakshatra of the Lords of Chandra Navamsa (i.e. Lord of Navamsa sign where Moon is placed) are in agreement as per the rule. c. If there is Stree Deergha agreement present between the Nakshatras. Here while the conditions b and c can be verified with the help of this book, the first condition cannot be verified as we are not preparing the horoscope at present. So we can reserve the same later. Or if the horoscope is available, it can be verified also.

The number of benefic units for this agreement is 6.

In our example chart from the table that we have prepared, we notice that the boy belongs to Manushya Gana and that the girl is of Deva Gana and hence this kuta is matching.

22

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7. 3. Mahendra: Rule: The Nakshatra of the boy counted from that of the girl should be the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th. According to Prasna Marga, if the girl is born in the 4th Nakshatra from that of the boy, it is Mahendra; if she is born in the 7th it is known as Upendra. Mahendra gives wealth and grain and Upendra gives children. The farther the birth Nakshatra of the boy is from the girl’s Nakshatra, the better it will be for their happiness.

Special: There seems to be a conflict between Dina Kuta and Mahendra Kuta. As per Dina Kuta the 7th, 16th and 25th Nakshatras are to be avoided. But according to Mahendra Kuta they are acceptable. We should not jump to the conclusion that the rishis have given a contradictory statement. As the contexts are different, we should not take it as contradictory. Actually this is related to Rajju agreement about which we will be seeing a little later. The above referred Nakshatras if they fall under ‘Madhyama Rajju dosha’ about which we shall see under Rajju, the alliance should not be recommended.

The stars that have mutual Madhyama Rajju dosha are: (1) Bharani (2) Mrigasirsha (3) Pushya (4) Purva Phalguni (5) Chitra (6) Anuradha (7) Purvashada (8) Dhanishta (9) Uttarashada

In our sample chart we find that the boy’s nakshatra is the 8th from that of the girl. Hence this alliance can be accepted.

23

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.4. Stree Deergha:

There are conflicting rules under this agreement. Rule: Boy’s star should preferably be beyond 7th or 9th or 13th or 15th. So there are 4 different views. All of them have their own explanations in support of this. The principle is to see the distance between the boy’s natal Moon and the girl’s natal Moon. The farther the distance the better is the compatibility. This may be overlooked if Rasi Kuta and Graha Maitram are present. Such exceptions are also listed separately under a separate heading.

In our example the boy’s Nakshatra is the 8th from that of the girl. According to one rule as it is beyond 7th, we can say that Stree Deergha agreement is present.

24

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.5. Yoni: Yoni means the female sexual organ. The Nakshatras are divided into male and female energies. Male is the more active and dynamic one while the female is a passive one. Each Nakshatra is also given a class of animal as per the table given above (See the Classification of Nakshatras). Here also there are two views. Some include a third class other than male and female – Eunuch. The Nakshatras Mrigasirsha, Mula and Satabhisha are considered as Eunuch.

There are certain controversies regarding the animals assigned to each Nakshatra. Even though the animals for each Nakshatra is given in the Characteristics of Nakshatra table, it is better we prepare a fresh table taking into account various controversies.

This is in accordance with Vakya Panchanga as well as Kalaprakshika. This is the table we will be following for testing Yoni Kuta.

While classifying the Nakshatras as Male and Female also, we find some differences. Prasna Marga treats the Nakshatras – Sravana and Uttarabhadrapada as male which are female as

25

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes per above table. Rohini and Uttarashada which are male as per above table are treated as female in Prasna Marga.

In Prasna Marga – Part II – English translation by Dr BV Raman has given the following:

Stanza 38 – Page 166 – The constellations have been assigned to the Yonis of certain animals in the order beginning with Aswini: (1) Horse (2) Elephant (3) She-Goat (4) Serpent (5) Dog (6) Cat (7) Sheep (8) Cat (9) Mouse (10) Rat (11) Camel (12) He-Buffalo (Bull) (13) Lion (14) He-Buffalo (Bull) (15) Tiger (16) Stag (17) Deer (18) Dog (19) Monkey (20) Ox (21) Monkey (22) She-Buffalo (23) Horse (24) Woman (25) Cow (26) Elephant. Thus the English translation is short of one animal for a Nakshatra. Also we find that new animal names are included like He-Buffalo, She-Buffalo, Stag, and Ox. In 24 it is mentioned as ‘woman’. In view of this confusion it is better to avoid this classification.

According to Brihaspati, Chitra governs the yoni of tiger. In Muhurta Ratna, it is said that Chitra governs Lion. As it is controversial, I also would like to quote the words of Dr BV Raman- “It is left to the discretion of the learned to settle one way or the other.”

There are two kinds of Yoni. One is the Nakshatra Yoni for which we refer the table above. The second one is the Rasi Yoni. First let us see the rule for the Nakshatra Yoni:

Rule: 1. Marriage between the same class of Yoni of male and female brings happiness, as it shows natural harmony, progeny and adaptability. Herein there can be two possibilities. Girl having female Nakshatra and boy male Nakshatra – All texts agree that it will be a good match. The other possibility that boy having female Nakshatra and girl with male Nakshatra – is not considered as good by some texts. Prasna Marga is silent on this specific combination. 2. Compatibility between friendly Yonis, with both having female Nakshatras, will bring at least some amount of harmony and agreement. According to Prasna Marga if both are female asterism there will be loss of wealth. But there is no specific mention that such nakshatras are to be rejected. Hence we will take it as acceptable. 3. Marriage between male Nakshatras always forebodes evil, as both will try to wear the dhoti so to speak. Prasna Marga also agrees that if both are female Nakshatras, it is to be rejected.

26

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 4. Again in the class of Yoni the following pairs are to be avoided as these animals are natural enemies:

Horse and Buffalo Elephant and Lion Sheep and Monkey Serpent and Rat Cow and Tiger Rat and Cat Mongoose and Serpent Deer and Dog

Since we have different classes of animals to some of the Nakshatras as per Prasna Marga it is better to study the rules as given therein: 1. If the Nakshatras of the couple come under the influence of the following animals, there will be family felicity and happiness. They are elephant, horse, cow, woman, stag, goat, she-goat and cat. 2. If tiger and serpent happen to be the animals of the couple, death may ensure. 3. Regarding Natural enemies Stanza 40 of Prasna Marga says: The Cat and the serpent. Rat and the dog Horse and she-buffalo Lion has no natural enemy. Dog, mouse, cat, dog and serpent are mutual enemies. Hence yoking persons ruled by these will be disastrous.

According to Madhaveeya, tiger is the enemy of cow, dog, woman, he-buffalo, stag, goat and monkey. Dog is the enemy of cow, goat, she-goat, monkey and stag. Cat and rat are the mutual enemies. Elephant and stag are enemies. Horse and he-buffalo are natural foes. Cat and serpent are traditionally averse.

The number of units of Yoni Kuta is 4.

Hence to avoid all these confusions, we will be using the given below table as given by Dr. B.V. Raman in Muhurtha and stick on to this principle while deciding the compatibility of Yoni between the boy and the girl.

How to use the table:

Find out the class of Yoni (Animal) of the girl. Locate the column having this animal. Run down the same column until you reach the animal containing the boy. The units given therein will be taken as the point for Yoni Kuta.

28

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

If the unit is 4 OR 3 we will say it is good and if it is 1 or 2 we will consider it as Ordinary and if it is zero there is No yoni agreement and it is treated as bad.

For our example chart the girl’s star is Mrigasirsha signifying Serpent and the boy’s Nakshatra is Uttaraphalguni signifying Cow. Now locate the column containing Serpent and go down until you reach the row corresponding to Cow. You get the number 3. So the unit of agreement is 3.

Now let us look at the rules of Rasi Yoni Rule: Here all the 12 signs are classified into 4 classes of animals as birds, reptile, animal and human based on the rasi signs. They are: 1. Second half of Capricorn and Pisces belong to bird Yoni 2. Cancer and Scorpio are of reptile Yoni 3. Aries, Taurus, Leo and first half of Capricorn are of animal Yoni 4. Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Sagittarius are of human Yoni

If the Yonis of both are the same it is good. If one is animal and the other is human it is moderate. Rasi Yonis to be avoided are: Animal Yoni should not be joined with reptile or bird Yoni One of human origin should not be combined with reptile or bird Yoni.

If we make a table it will be clear. We get the below position from the rule stated above. In this compatibility between reptile and bird Yoni has not been stated either as bad or good or as ordinary. It is also taken to be bad as for example Garuda (bird) is considered as the enemy of snake (reptile). Since it is a derived one it is shown in red. Readers may correct the same if it is wrong with proper quotes. Reptile

yenbeeyes Let us apply these two rules of Yoni to our sample chart. Nakshatra Yoni: Girl is of Female Yoni and the class is serpent. Boy is of male Yoni and the class is Cow. From the first rule we find that Yoni matching is good. Also the animals are not of inimical nature because for serpent mongoose is the enemy and for cow tiger is the enemy. Rasi Yoni: Girl belongs to Gemini rasi and boy is of Virgo rasi. Since both the Yonis are same it is also good. So Yoni agreement is best for these charts.

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.6.Rasi: This indicates the emotional compatibility of the couple and as such is also indicative of prosperity, growth and happiness. Rasi is the Moon sign and here we see how each other’s Moon is related. This is based on the natural friendship or Sambhanda of the lords of the Moon Rasis of both. Readers may also refer to my article on ‘Sambhanda or Planetary Relationships to have a more detailed understanding of the friendship between the planets.

There is conflicting information available as to this compatibility. For the benefit of the readers all the views that are prevalent under this head. Rule 1: If both the rasis are the same and they are sama-sapthaka (i.e. one rasi is the 7th from the other) then it is considered as good. If the rasi of the boy is more than 6 from that of the girl it is considered as good. If it is 3 or 4 then it is moderate. If it is 2 or 5 or 6 or 8 then it is bad. In this also some are of the opinion that for Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius there is no shashtaka dosha (6-8) and for the rest of the rasis no dwisvabhava dosha (2-12). According to Dr. B.V. Raman if the placement of Moon is in 6th and 8th from each other, the marriage will prosper. But Muhurtha Chinthamani disagrees as it feels that these positions are negative. However, if these lords are friends, they are in a better position as there is a possibility to improve their misunderstanding. 2nd and 12th position is a total loss. This will lead to complete lack of understanding of each other resulting in emotional set backs. In this, it is to be taken that the rasi of the boy is the 2nd from that of the girl and the rasi of the girl is 12th from that of the boy. According to Dr. B.V. Raman, if the rasi of the boy falls in the 12th from that of the girl and of the girl is in the 2nd from that of the boy this indicates longevity of the couple and a happy married life. If the rasi of the boy is the 3rd from the girl’s there will be misery and sorrow. But if the rasi of the girl is the 3rd from that of the boy, there will be happiness. If the rasi of the boy is the 4th from that of the girl’s, there will be great poverty; but if the rasi of the girl happens to fall in the 4th from the boy there will be great wealth. 4th and 10th

31

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes is also of positive nature. Even here if the lords are inimical to each other, the combination will not work. If the boy’s rasi falls in the 5th from that of the girl, there will be unhappiness. But if the girl’s rasi falls in the 5th from that of the boy there will be enjoyment and prosperity. If the boy’s rasi falls in the 6th from the girl’s there will be loss of children, but if the girl’s is the 6th from the boy’s, then the progeny will prosper. Where the rasis of the boy and the girl are in the 7th houses mutually, then there will be health, agreement and happiness. 1 and 7 positions are the best as each one will be reflecting the needs of the other. In this also the two combinations of Cancer - Capricorn and Leo – Aquarius are not to be matched as their lords are of inimical nature.

We can assign points as far as this agreement is considered as below:

Points 7 5 3 3 1 0 3 1

House Combination Result 5:9 Good 3:11 Ordinary 4:10 Moderate, Hidden respect for each other 1:7 Moderate, but one tries to dominate other 2:12 Tolerable 6:8 Disputes In one sign up to 15° Treat as 4:10 In One sign above 15° Treat as 2:12

The number of units for Rasi Kuta is 7. But always remember this exception:

When both the rasis are owned by one planet or if the lords of the two rasis happen to be friends, the evil attributed above to the inauspicious disposition of rasis gets cancelled.

Rule 2: It is worth mentioning Madhavacharya’s words as to the effect of the placement of the boy’s Moon from that of the girl. If the boy’s Moon is placed in the 2nd from that of the girl it indicates Loss of Money. If it is in the third sorrow, in the fourth – quarrels and misunderstanding, in the 5th – loss of children and in the 6th diseases, danger and separation. However, if the lord of the signs of the two is the same planet or if they are mutually friendly as per the planetary friendship table, it need not be rejected.

32

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Other rules: According to M.Ramakrishna Bhatt (Essentials of Horary Astrology) if there be agreement in respect of Vasya and Vedha, this flaw could be ignored. According to Brihaspati a male born in the 7th sign from that of the bride (sama-Saptama) is exceptionally good in spite of the lords of the two signs being mutually inimical.

Some exceptions: Any negativity in this agreement can be overcome if any of the Vasya (which we will be dealing with later), Dina and Graha Maître Kutas is present. Remember that if the lords of the Moon rasis are not enemies then any problem arising out of this compatibility can be sorted out. There is a possibility of reconciliation and hence can be advised that this agreement is present. If there is Vasya agreement then there exist a mutual attraction between the boy and the girl or if there is Tara Bala i.e. Dina kuta is positive then it can be safely presumed that the negativity of this kuta agreement is greatly removed. But rasi position is also negative and the lords are inimical, then there can be problems. Analyzing this kuta is very essential but do not forget to study the cancellations as they can take away the sting from the lack of compatibility. There are some more exceptions also which may also be taken care of: 1. If the girl’s rasi is odd then the man having his rasi in the 6th or 8th there from can be taken as optional. If the girl is born in an even rasi, then the man born in the 6th there from accepted. 2. If the Janma rasi of both have Vasya and not Vedha, then the 6th and 8th position of the man’s rasi from the woman’s one can be accepted. 3. Harihara does not attach much blemish to the 3rd and 4th positions for the Janma Rasi of the male from that of the female as this shall neither indicate poverty, nor serious quarrels leading to estrangement nor loss of children. Sorrow is a part and parcel of human life and hence this need not be taken as criteria for mismatch. 4. The same Janma rasi is allowed as long as the couples do not have the same Janma Nakshatra. I will be dealing with under a separate sub heading in the later part of this book. In this also the Nakshatras – Jyeshta, Mula, Purvashada, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Hasta, Rohini, Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Ardra and Bharani – if they are same for both should be avoided.

33

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Final Rule: So there are many confusing findings given by the ancient sages. However, in my experience I have found the rules elucidated by Sanjay Rath in his article ‘Sambandha’ based on the advice given in Prasna Marga to be of much use. I follow this rule in deciding about Rasi Kuta. Count from the sign occupied by the Moon in the male chart to the sign occupied by the Moon in the female chart. Here the counting is done from the Moon of the Boy to that of the girl instead of vice versa as is done in majority cases. The resulting number gives the results as indicated below: [CARE: Note the change in the counting which is not the one used for the other agreements] Number

Indication

1

General well being and compatibility is indicated. Check the nakshatra match. If the nakshatra are different, it is excellent and in the case of marriage, sons and grandsons will issue from the wedlock. If they are the same then there shall be fear of poison and one of them could suffer severe ill-health and/or children could also suffer due to naga nadi or other flaws. This is sure to happen if the nakshatra is Bharani (2), Rohini (4), Ardra (6), Pushya (8), Aslesha (9), Magma (10), Hasta (13), Jyeshta (18), Moola (19), Purvashada (20), Dhanishta (23) or Satabhisha (24).

2

Good compatibility; financial problems and hardships (Harihara).

3

Excellent friendship and relationship; long term if planets concerned are friends.

4

Very compatible; growth in wealth

5

Very compatible; many children

6

Fairly compatible; short term relationship; destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless the Subhapati are mutually friendly; separation or quarrel - if the Subhapati are mutual foes or there is Vedha, then the intensity of evil is very high (Harihara). If they are friends, then this can be considered.

7

Excellent compatibility, especially in matters concerning the opposite sex.

8

Diseases (Madhavacharya); destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless the Subhapati are mutually friendly; separation, quarrel or death and if the Subhapati are mutual foes or there is Vedha, then the intensity of evil is very high (Harihara). However, if the passive partner (Moon) has an even Janma rasi, then this match is to be rejected (Harihara).

9

No compatibility and no growth; in case of a marriage, loss of children is indicated (Madhavacharya);

10

Quarrels and misunderstanding (Madhavacharya); marriage maybe considered if the Subhapati are friendly (Brihaspati) and will last, but there will be many quarrels.

11

Sorrow is indicated (Madhavacharya).

12

No compatibility and many problems; especially financial losses (Madhavacharya) and poverty (Harihara).

Let us apply this conflicting or rather confusing rule to our chart. The girl belongs to Gemini and the boy is of Virgo. 1. As per rule 1 the boy’s rasi is the 4th from that of the girl. So we will say moderate compatibility. So the points give would be 10 as per the points table given under this rule. (4:10) 2. As per rule 2 it indicates quarrels and misunderstandings. If we apply the exception that ‘if the lords of the two rasis are the same or mutually friendly they need not be rejected’. Since both the rasi lords are one and the same – Mercury, we can conclude that this is acceptable. 3. Since we do not have total disagreement applying the above two rules we need not see Vasya, Vedha etc. 4. As per the final rule we note that the female rasi is the 10th from that of the male. The

are:

35

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.7. Rasyadhipa or Graha Maitram: This is also one of the important agreements to be seen as it deals with the psychological dispositions of the couple, their individual mental attitudes and their affection for each other.

The friendship or otherwise between the lords of the Janma Rasis of the boy and the girl are taken into consideration. Planetary friendships are given in almost all Astrological books. However, I have given at the beginning the friendships table (Refer chapter 6). Here we take into consideration only the Naisargika Sambandha between the planets. Some astrologers are also of the view that the Tatkalika Sambandha is also to be taken into account. According to Dr B.V.Raman it is not required as we are considering only the birth Nakshatras and not the birth horoscope as a whole here.

Rule: 1. When both lords are friends – Agreement has Full strength 2. One is a friend and the other is Neutral – Agreement is Moderate 3. Both are Neutral – Ordinary agreement 4. Both are enemies – Agreement does not exist

If we look at the planetary friendship table we find three columns Friend, Neutral and Enemy. The above are the only rules specifically stated in almost all books. There is no mention regarding the following pairs:

a. If one is a friend and the other is an enemy – Just as Mercury and Moon. Moon treats Mercury as a friend while Mercury considers Moon as his enemy. b. One is a neutral and the other is Enemy – Like (1) Moon – Venus and Moon – Saturn (2) Mars – Saturn (3) Mars – Mercury (4) Mercury – Jupiter (5) Venus – Jupiter. Since one planet involved is an enemy in both the cases we shall treat the same as bad.

There is an exception to this rule also. If the lords of the rasis are not friendly, then look for the relationship in the Navamsa between the lords where Moon is placed therein. If those lords are friendly there, then Graha Maitram is present in the chart. So here it becomes essential to have the charts prepared to find out the placement of the Moon in the

36

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Navamsa. But this can be done only when we have the horoscopes. But our aim here is not to refer to the horoscopes. Yes. There is a possibility of doing this. I have given in the end by way of Annexure, the entire list of Navamsas for all the 27 Nakshatras – 27 x 4 padas = 108 padas along with their lords. So from the table it will be easy to find out the result.

The number of units for this kuta is 5.

In our sample chart in Rasi chart both the boy and the girl have Mercury as the Rasi Lord and hence Graha Maitram agreement is present. Just out of curiosity, if we want to look at the Navamsa Moon lords of the boy and the girl, we can do so from the table at the end. Girl is in Mrigasirsha-4th Pada – From the Navamsa Table we note that the Navamsa for this Pada is Scorpio whose lord is Mars and that of the boy’s constellation is Uttaraphalguni-2nd Pada whose Navamsa Moon will be placed in Capricorn lorded by Saturn. Now from the friendship table we can see that Mars treats Saturn as neutral whereas Saturn treats Mars as an enemy. Hence in this case we can say that the agreement is only ordinary.

37

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 7.8. Vasya: The term ‘Vasya’ means having control over another person. In ancient days this kuta was used in determining whether a husband will have influence on his wife or not. As in the olden days the women were expected to follow the rules made by men. But under the present conditions where women are given equal opportunities in almost all fields, we cannot rely much on this principle. But to know whether there will be a compatible and dedicated relationship between the couple or not this kuta is necessary. This is based on Janma Rasi.

Rule: If the Janma Rasi of the boy is the Vasya Rasi of the girl’s or vice versa, then Vasya Kuta is present. If the Janma rasi of the boy and the girl happens to be the Vasya Rasi of each other, then the affection and love between them is the strongest.

The Vasya Rasi for different Rasis is given as under:

Rasi

Vasya Rasi

Aries

Leo, Scorpio

Taurus

Cancer, Libra

Gemini

Virgo

Cancer

Scorpio, Sagittarius

Leo

Libra

Virgo

Gemini, Pisces

Libra

Virgo, Capricorn

Scorpio

Cancer

Sagittarius Pisces Capricorn

Aries, Aquarius

Aquarius

Aries

Pisces

Capricorn

From the above table (as per Dr. B.V. Raman) it appears that there is mutual attraction only between Gemini and Virgo and again between Cancer and Scorpio. For other signs there is no mutual attraction. For instance for a Capricorn Rasi the Vasya sign is Pisces where as for Pisces - Aries is Vasya and hence there is no mutual attraction. Also it is possible that the Rasis of both may not come fall under the Vasya table given above. In such a situation what

38

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes is to be decided upon?

Such a situation is quite possible. We cannot always expect that

there will be matching between a girl of Pisces Moon sign and an Aries boy. Boy’s Rasi may be different say anything other than Aries. In that case how are we to know whether Vasya Kuta exists or not. Normally it is concluded that no Vasya is present, when both the rasis have no Vasya as per the given table.

There is another practice according to which if the rasi of the boy is Vasya to the girl or if both the rasis are same it is treated as auspicious and good. On the other hand if the girl’s rasi is Vasya to that of the boy, then it is treated as Ordinary.

Even in the list of Vasya rasis there are certain anomalies. Prasna Marga states that For Aquarius and Pisces Capricorn is the Vasya rasi whereas in the above table for Aquarius Aries is shown as Vasya rasi. Another variation given in Triganith Panchang is – For Leo – Capricorn For Virgo – Taurus and Pisces For Libra – Capricorn For Scorpio – Cancer and Virgo For Capricorn – Aquarius For Aquarius – Pisces

are Vasya rasis.

We will take the list as given by Dr. B.V.Raman as the correct one.

In our sample chart the girl’s rasi is Gemini and the boy’s rasi is Virgo. As per the Vasya table both have mutual Vasya. Hence this kuta is present for these two charts.

The Unit of agreement is 2.

yenbeeyes 7.9. Rajju: Rajju is an indicator of longevity of the marriage and is based on the relative position of the two Nakshatras; all the stars have been classified into five categories. Rajju pertaining to each Nakshatra has been given in the table Classification of Nakshatras.

Rule: If the Nakshatra of the couple do not fall in the same Rajju, it is good. In case the Nakshatras fall in the same category then the results are as follows: 1. Pada Rajju – Problems while undertaking distant travels 2. Ooru or Kati Rajju – Poverty 3. Nabhi Rajju – Loss of Children 4. Kanta Rajju – Widowhood 5. Siro Rajju – Death

There is also another more clear explanation as below: In case the Rajju of both are same, count from the prospective groom’s Rajju to the prospective spouse’s Rajju. The resulting number will give results as below: •

One – The couple will wander and not be settled in life (Pada Rajju)

•

Two – Have monetary problems (Ooru or Kati Rajju)

•

Three – Children can suffer (Nabhi Rajju)

•

Four – Wife may die or have ill health (Kanta Rajju)

•

Five – Husband may have ill health or die (Siro Rajju)

The allocation of Rajju to different Nakshatras is worth studying. Look at the following table:

Exceptions:

Various exceptions are also given by eminent authors. 1. If lords of Janma rasis of both the boy and the girl are one and the same or if they are mutual friends or if the Janma rasis of the boy and the girl are in 1: 7 (Samasaptaka) position, Rajju dosha need not be considered. 2. Another view is that if both are having the same Rajju and if one is in the ascending order and the other is in descending order, there is no Rajju dosha. For the purpose of determining the Ascending as well as descending order, the following table will be helpful.

An example will clear the concept. Supposing the girl’s Nakshatra is Rohini and the boy’s Nakshatra is also in Kanta rajju and it is Satabhisha. Since Rohini is in the Ascending list and Satabhisha is in the descending list, it is considered auspicious. If the boy’s star is either Hasta or Sravana then the same should not be matched. It can be either of the three descending Nakshatras viz. Ardra, Swathi or Satabhisha.

yenbeeyes 3. Some astrologers are also of the opinion that if there is agreement in respect of Dina, Mahendra and Rasyadhipa, Rajju agreement need not be considered.

Some are of the Opinion that the last two Rajjus viz. Kanta and Siro are less important and need not be worried about unless in the couple’s charts indicate otherwise. Matches involving the first three Rajjus should not be advised. Based on this corollary, M.Ramakrishna Bhatt’s explanation of Rajju Kuta is worth mentioning here. He has classified all the 27 Nakshatras into three categories going three steps forward and three steps backward continuously as shown below and the same is also mentioned in Prasna Marga.

If the two stars be found in the same column, it will be a blemish called Sama-Rajju. So the alliance should not be recommended. If they are found in the Central Avenue, it will be called as Madhyama Rajju and the result will be death, quarrel and loss and hence this is supposed to be very inauspicious. If they fall in the 1st and the 3rd, it also causes calamities.

Readers might remember that we talked about this Madhyama Rajju under Mahendra Kuta and also given a list of Nakshatras which you will find listed in the central avenue here.

This agreement is considered as one of the essential requirements for matching in South India. If there is no Rajju agreement, they totally reject the alliance. However, in the North Indian system of Ashta Kuta, this agreement has not been taken into account at all.

42

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Let us take our sample chart now for this agreement. The girl’s Rajju is Nabhi and the boy’s Rajju is Siro. So the Rajjus are not the same. If we apply the rule as given by M.Ramakrishna Bhatt, Mrigasirsha falls under Central avenue where as Uttaraphalguni falls under the first avenues. Hence Rajju Kuta is present in the charts.

yenbeeyes 7.10. Nadi This is one of the important agreements and should not be overlooked as it shows how a couple work on a spiritual level and hoe their union will impact their children. In the Scoring Kuta system, you will find that this has the highest score. Hence absence of this agreement will considerably reduce the score.

Nadi is a term taken from Ayurveda. It means pulse which is a medical term. NADI Kuta compares the Ayurveda temperaments of the couple’s Moon Nakshatras, which indicate their psycho-physiological energies resonate with each other. There are three types of body as per Ayurveda based on the biological humors or Dhatus. They are Vata, Pitta and Sleshma. Each Nakshatra is classified as a specific body type which can be seen from the Classification of Nakshatra table. When all of them are in required proportion in the body, we are healthy. When one or the other predominates, it creates imbalances and illness.

Vata – the Air quality. The natural qualities of Vata are action, sensation and enthusiasm. If both the partners are of Vata this will lead to adverse health effects on the couple, financial crisis and worries may result. Vata people are by nature worrisome one. They are nervous and prone to tension. If both are of worrying type, that will increase the tension more.

Pitta – the Fire quality: Pitta produces heat, desires, cheerfulness, intelligence, vision. When two such people join together, that may lead to anger, overt ambitions and too many desires. That will be a fire out of control. Pitta can create unexpected events that create major stresses on the relationships.

Sleshma – the water quality: Sleshma being potency or strength and forbearance. Both having this may find lack of energy, lethargy and selfishness. They can be too lazy to make any efforts. Their emotions will be ruling over their relationships.

For the sake of convenience, I am giving below the Nakshatras that belong to the three different kinds of Nadis so that it will be easier to follow the rules:

Rule: If the Nakshatra of the boy and the girl fall in different rows, then agreement between the couple will be good. They should not fall in the middle least there will be many fights, as they both will be fiery in nature. Nakshatras may fall in the first and last line under certain circumstances.

In our sample chart the girl belongs to Pitta and the boy belongs to Vata and hence different rows and so Nadi Kuta is present.

Nakshatra Pada Kuta:

Principle: If the Nadi kuta is not present on the basis of Nakshatras, then the same may be reckoned taking into account the Nakshatra padas. Thus the different padas of the Nakshatras will be grouped with the same principle as done for Nakshatra vis. beginning from Aswini 1, counting forwards and then backwards. I am giving below the entire table for all the 108 padas.

Rule: If Nakshatra Pada Kuta is in agreement then Nadi Kuta is in agreement. The same rule is applicable as given in Nakshatra Nadi Kuta. That is to say both the Nakshatras should not fall in the same column. If they indifferent columns it is good. If it is in the first column or the last column it is moderate. Both the Nakshatras should not fall in the middle column.

Among the various noting done by my grandfather, who was my Guru for Astrology, I gathered the following information in respect of this Kuta:

Nadi is not evil in the case of the same birth sign with different Nakshatras and in the case of different signs with the same Nakshatras.

Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasirsha, Ardra, Pushya, Jyeshta, Sravana, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati do not have Nadi blemish.

If the lord of Janma rasi of the boy and the girl is Venus or Jupiter or Mercury, one need not think of Nadi blemish.

Nakshatra Nadi Kuta is to be applied only when Nadi Kuta as per Nakshatra is not present. In any case, if we consider our example chart, we note that the girl’s Mrigasirsha 4 Nakshatra comes under Pitta Nadi and the boy’s Uttaraphalguni 2 falls under Sleshma Nadi. As both the nadis are different we conclude that Nakshatra Nadi Kuta is also present in the chart.

yenbeeyes 7.11. Vedha: Vedha means affliction. This agreement wards of all evils and pitfalls in married life. A happy and prosperous married life is assured. This is based on the fact that some pairs of Nakshatras are mutually incompatible.

Rule 1: Marriage between two people falling under this group is not recommended. Even though the Vedha for each Nakshatra is already given in the Characteristics Table, for the sake of easy understanding, I am giving the pairs of Nakshatras who are Vedha to each other. # Aswini and Jyeshta # Bharani and Anuradha # Krittika and Visakha # Rohini and Swathi # Ardra and Sravana # Punarvasu and Uttarashada # Pushya and Purvashada # Aslesha and Moola # Makha and Revathi # Purvaphalguni and Uttarabhadrapada # Uttaraphalguni and Purvabhadrapada # Hasta and Satabhisha # Mrigasirsha and Dhanishta

According to Prasna Marga Mrigasirsha, Chitra and Dhanishta are mutually Vedas or mutually repelling. The Nakshatras of the couple should not fall in the Vedha group.

Rule 2: The Vedha is also divided into five categories according to Prasna Marga. The given below table will illustrate the different kinds of Vedha: If the Nakshatras of the couple do not fall in the same division, it is productive of good results. If they fall under Kanta – The result is widowhood. Kati – poverty results. Pada – distant travels. Siro – death will ensure Kukshi – Loss of children.

This is exactly the same as given above as the pair of nakshatras causing vedha to each other. Only addition here is the type of Vedha and where it hurts. However, Prasna Marga states that if the nakshatras of the couple do not fall in the same varga or division, it is productive of good results.

This is similar to Rajju classification. In both the cases note the similarity between the allotments of stars from Aswini to the five limbs in an ascending order from foot to head.

I would like to quote the words of M. Ramakrishna Bhatt (Essentials of Horary Astrology) here for the readers to understand the effect of Vedha agreement: (Also found in Prasna Marga)

This Vedha scheme has been mentioned in Electional Astrology in connection with house construction. How to find out which star is hurt on a particular day? See if any plant is posited in any star of any of the five groups. If there be one, treat the whole group as Vedha (pierced), and so none of the stars can be elected for house construction or house warming. Similarly, if the stars of the groom and bride occur in the first group, there would be (neck piercing) Vedha leading to death of either partner. If it be in the second group, it would be Kati-Vedha (piercing of the hips or thighs) whose effect is poverty. If in the 3rd group, Pada-Vedha resulting in wandering from place to place, poverty or loss of position. In the 4th group it is Siro-Vedha resulting in the husband's death. In the last group, KukshiVedha this would bring about destruction of children. Hence the stars of the two ought not to belong to the same group. In the absence of this blemish alliance would be beneficial. This is one way of finding Vedha."

If there is Vedha affliction both the husband and wife will go to rack and ruin. Even if there are other items of agreement as Vasya etc. Vedha will prevail. The Vedha stars are connected with the 6th and 7th relatively.

Since in almost all agreements we are following the principles as enumerated by Dr. B.V.Raman, here also we will stick on to the individual nakshatras causing veda to each other and not by the groups of stars as defined in Prasna Marga.

In our sample horoscope, the girl belongs to Mrigasirsha and the boy belongs to Uttaraphalguni. From the first pair of Nakshatras to be avoided, we find that these two Nakshatras does not fall under any group. From the Vedha classification table we find that both the Nakshatras does not fall under any one category. Hence Vedha matching is present for the chart.

7.12. Varna: Varna means Caste. In the present day context this has no relevance as Inter Caste marriages are common. The prevailing Caste system in India is Brahmins (Vedic scholars), Kshatriyas (Warriors and administrators), Vaishyas (Traders) and Sudras (the labour class). Here the order of Varnas is of descending: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra. In addition to this there are two more castes called Anuloma and Pratiloma. Anuloma are those born of higher class father and lower class mothers. Pratiloma are the children born of lower class fathers and high class mothers. Each of this class has been allotted certain stars as below:

Class

Nakshatras

Brahmin

Aswini, Punarvasu, Hasta, Moola, Purvabhadrapada

Kshatriya

Bharani, Pushya, Chitra, Purvashada, Uttarabhadrapada

Rohini, Makha, Visakha and Sravana

Anuloma

Mrigasirsha, Purvaphalguni, Anuradha, Dhanishta

Pratiloma

Ardra, Uttaraphalguni, Jyeshta, Satabhisha

We will see more about the Varna classification after studying the rules. In regard to rules there are two schools of thought. One is based on the Nakshatra and other is based on Janma Rasi. First let us complete the Nakshatra part:

49

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Rule 1: It would be excellent if the stars of both be of same class. So also is the marriage between a boy born in a star of higher class and a girl born in a star belonging to a lower class. If the girl’s star is of higher class and that of the boy is lower class, such an alliance is to be rejected as it is inauspicious. According to Harihara (Prasna Marga), if one partner’s Nakshatra is Anuloma (mixed-caste), then it is acceptable if the partner’s Nakshatra falls under any one of the four discrete classes viz. Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Sudra. If one partner’s nakshatra is Pratiloma (no-caste), then the other partner’s nakshatra should also be the same. If it falls under any one of the four castes it is to be rejected.

Brihaspati also endorses the above view. Union between the same castes is the best, Union between a man of higher caste and a girl of lower caste is ordinary, and the third one viz. union between a higher caste girl with a lower caste man is lowest.

Now let us go into a little deeper into the Caste classification. The so called Caste is a social division and by so saying, we do not understand the true meaning of these spiritual divisions. Yes. Varnas are spiritual divisions of man. The horoscope indicates the true inclination and temperament of a person and his life is guided towards the same. Each of the 12 signs has a particular spiritual quality that takes them towards the path of selfexpression in the material life. So Varnas are corresponding to the Gunas (qualities) and the Karmas (actions). These are not divisions imposed by mankind but who you really are. The four different directions of life namely, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are manifested in the form of Varnas.

It is a fact that the birth caste of a person is not at all important in regard to spiritual development, habits or work. Hence this star based caste-division is not considered now a days by astrologers. On the other hand, classes or castes are allotted to the Rasis in comparing the horoscopes. Castes of Signs: (1) Brahmins (Scholars) represented by watery signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. (2) Kshatriyas (Warriors) represented by fiery signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. (3) Vaishyas (Traders) represented by earthy signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. (4) Sudras (Workers) represented by airy signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

50

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes This is in tune with the Bhagavad-Gita Gita-18th Chapter: Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer it represents the highest development - Brahmin (B.G.18:42.); Leo, Sagittarius and Libra indicate the second grade - or Kshatriya (B.G.18:43.); Aries, Gemini and Aquarius suggest the third or the Vaishya (B.G.18:44.); while Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn indicate the last grade, viz., Sudra (B.G.18:44.). This seems to be the degree of advancement of spiritual development and application of those qualities of the marrying partners.

Rule 2: A girl belonging to a higher grade of spiritual development should not be mated to a boy of lesser development. The vice-versa or both belonging to the same grade or degree is allowed.

The unit of agreement is 1.

Another school of thought is to compare the ruler of the Janma Rasi. In such cases the following Varnas are allotted to the planets. Sun

-

Kshatriya

Moon

-

Vaishya

Mars

-

Kshatriya

Mercury

-

Sudra

Jupiter

-

Brahmin

Venus

-

Brahmin

Saturn

-

Sudra

The rule of compatibility of course remains the same.

Now let us apply the two rules of Varna – Nakshatra based as well as Rasi based to our sample chart. According to Nakshatra Girl belongs to Anuloma (Mrigasirsha) and the boy belongs to Pratiloma. As per rule 1 there is no Varna match as Anuloma person can marry any of the higher four castes viz. Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Sudra and not the lower caste Pratiloma. Again Pratiloma man can marry only from the same caste. Now when we consider the Rasi based Varna Kuta, the girl is from Sudra (Gemini) and the boy is from Vaishya (Virgo). The girl belongs to a lesser grade of spiritual development than the boy. Hence this is acceptable as per Rule 2.

So that completes the essential Kutas for the purpose of marriage matching. As stated earlier there are other Kutas which are not generally looked into for alliance. For the benefit of the readers, I shall give the details of them also.

yenbeeyes 8. Principles involved in Other Kutas:

8.1. Gotra Gotra means family lineage. Ancient Sages who handed down the Vedic lore are seven in number. They are Marichi, Vashishta, Angirasa, Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha and Kratu. There are also many other ancient sages who are called progenitors of Gotras like Vishwamitra, Kashyapa, Gautama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaj. This lineage (Gotra is based on two factors, birth and learning, i.e. from father to son; and teacher to disciple. According to Kalaprakashika the family lineages which are referred to as Gotras are of 49 kinds.

The 28 Nakshatras including Abhijit (which is packed in Capricorn between Uttarashada and Sravana) are distributed among the above sages at the rate of four Nakshatras per sage as per table below:

Rule: It is said that identical gotra of a boy and girl lead to calamity. If they belong to different Gotras, their union will lead to happiness, prosperity and progeny.

In Kalaprakashika I found a different classification. I quote below the translation – found in Page 77 which defines the 7 Gotras as follows:

“Divide the 28 asterisms including Abhijit into seven sets of four each. The first set (1, 2, 3, 4) represents the Gotra Marichi; the second set (5, 6, 7, 8) represents Vashishta Gotra; the third set (9, 10, 11, 12) is Angiras Gotra; the fourth (13, 14, 15, 16) is Atri Gotra; the fifth

53

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes (17, 18, 19, 20) is the Gotra of sage Pulastya; the sixth (21, 22, 23, 24) is that of sage Pulaha; the seventh (25, 26, 27, 28) is Gutha Gotra (4, p.77) Ideally two partners should belong to different Gotras”

According to the above the first four Nakshatras viz. Aswini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini will belong to Marichi Gotra which is not so in our above table. In all the books I have referred to, the classification as given in Kalaprakashika is not being followed. So it is better we stick on to the classification as given in the table only which is in tune with Prasna Marga

Dr BV Raman is of the opinion that if there is no agreement between the Gotras of the boy and the girl based on Janma Nakshatra, and then we have to ascertain the Nakshatras on the basis of Lagna. If the Gotras are same here also, then the compatibility in respect of Gotra is ordinary only...

In our sample chart the girl as well as the boy belongs to the same Gotra-Pulastya. Hence Gotra matching is not OK for these two charts.

This factor of compatibility of horoscopes is not taken into consideration too much these days, unfortunately with the decline in Vedic culture and pure family lineages.

In many of the South Indian Brahmin families they follow the Gotra as stated by their forefathers. They do not attach importance to the Gotra division according to Nakshatras. One of the main criteria in these families is that, before even asking for the horoscope of the boy or girl for matching, they first ensure that the boy or girl is of different Gotra other than their own. Of course this Gotra following is totally different from the one as stated in the classics.

54

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 8.2. Vihanga: Vihanga means birds. The Nakshatras possess habits of birds. Birds of similar type will have greater compatibility than those which are radically dissimilar and which are naturally inimical to each other.

This is based on ‘Pancha-Pakshi Shastra’ for which we find the reference in ancient Tamil literature. Even today In Vakya Panchanga a reference to this has been made. Pancha means five and Pakshi means bird. As such it resembles the Pancha-Bhuta (five elements) system of Vedic Astrology. It is believed that the five elements viz. Fire, Air, Earth, Water and Aakash represented by the five birds, influence and control all the actions of human beings. These five birds take their special turns in a special sequence and radiate their powers during day and night. The power that takes effect first on a day and the sequence that follows depends on the day of the week and the Paksha (waxing and waning of Moon) of the Moon.

The five birds are: Vulture, Owl, Crow, Cock and Peacock.

One of these is assigned to a person according to their birth star of the person and the Paksha of the Moon at the time of birth. The list of Nakshatras and the birds representing them for both the Pakshas are given below. Though this Shastra is not used nowadays for Match making, yet it is better to know of this system also. I understand that some softwares available in the market do include this Vihanga Kuta.

Rule: If the Nakshatra of the couple indicate the same bird, it is good. Otherwise, one bird will dominate the other in the descending order: Peacock, Cock, Crow, Owl and Vulture. If one is friendly to the other, it is passable. If one is the natural enemy of the other, it is bad.

However, in Prasna Marga there is no mention of this division of birds according to Paksha. It simple refers – Aswini to Mrigasirsha signify the bird Bharandhaka; Ardra to Purvaphalguni – Pingala; Uttaraphalguni to Anuradha – kaka (Crow); Jyeshta to Sravana – Cock and Dhanishta to Revathi – Peacock.

8.3. Yonyankulya: We find a reference to this in Prasna Marga., Yoni means sex organ and anukulya means source of agreement. There two ways to find out this agreement.

Rule 1: If the girl is born in a female Nakshatra and the boy in a male Nakshatra, the couple will be happy. If both are female Nakshatra, there will be loss of wealth. If both are male Nakshatra, then it is to be rejected.

The categorization of Nakshatras into male and female are as below:

Male

Female

Aswini, Bharani, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Uttaraphalguni, Swathi, Visakha, Jyeshta, Moola, Purvashada, Sravana, Purvabhadrapada and Uttarabhadrapada. Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasirsha, Ardra, Punarvasu, Purvaphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttarashada, Dhanishta, Satabhisha and Revathi.

Rule 2: This introduces another gender – viz. Eunuch. The classification according to this is as below:

Male

Female Eunuch

Aswini, Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Anuradha, Sravana, Purvabhadrapada and Uttarabhadrapada. Bharani, Krittika, Ardra, Aslesha, Makha, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Chitra, Swathi, Visakha, Jyeshta, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Dhanishta and Revathi. Mrigasirsha, Moola and Satabhisha.

So now we have 9 combinations giving different results. They are tabulated below:

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes It is stated that Nakshatra Bhuta indicates Psychological nature where as Rasi Bhuta indicates Spiritual nature.

8.5. Vayanukulya: Rule: If the bridegroom is three times older than the bride, it is considered as good; if he is twice old, it is passable; if he is older only by a few years it results in sorrow. If the bride is older, the family will become extinct.

Of course such conditions cannot be applied in modern times. Majority of the cases fall under the category – i.e. bridegroom is only a few years older than the bride.

8.6. Ashtakavarga: There are two principles involved in this. Principle 1: If the Janma Rasi of the boy falls in a sign which, in the Moon’s Ashtakavarga of the girl’s chart, has more bindus it is good. Similarly, if the Janma rasi of the girl falls in a sign which, in the Moon’s Ashtakavarga of the boy, has more bindus, it is equally good.

Principle 2: Find out the kaksha in which the Moon is found in the girl’s horoscope. If the Janma Rasi of the boy falls in the sign of the lord of this kaksha, the compatibility is good. The same is the case in respect of the boy’s horoscope.

In order to verify the first principle we need horoscopes of the boy and the girl along with each planet’s Ashtakavarga bindus. Since at this stage, we are not going into the horoscope position, we shall skip this principle and reserve it for the next part of the book.

For the second principle also we need the Longitude of Moon at the time of birth. According to Ashtakavarga scheme, each sign is divided into 8 parts or kakshas of 3°45’, the lords of which are respectively Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus Mercury and Moon. In our sample chart the girl’s Nakshatra Mrigasirsha is in 4th Pada. So it must be in Gemini between 3°20’ and 6°40’ (You can verify from the Navamsa Table at the end). So dividing Gemini into 8 kakshas this will fall under the 2nd Kaksha which is ruled by Jupiter. If the Groom’s Janma rasi falls in the sign ruled by Jupiter it is good which is not the case in our sample chart.

60

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Similarly, for the boy’s Uttaraphalguni-2nd Pada, Moon must be between Virgo 0°00’ and 3°20’ which will be the first kaksha and is ruled by Saturn. The girl’s Janma rasi does not fall under any of the rasis owned by Saturn.

8.7. Chittanukulya: If a boy and a girl love each other, they can enter into wedlock, even if there is no agreement in other ways. This is very important in the matter of marriage. One who loves a girl sincerely from his heart should marry her. Pure love is greater than any other virtue. But nowadays we come across so many breaks in love marriages. Why? It is because that there was no sincere love. It is just lust which is transient and disappears the moment initial infatuation ends.

8.8. Aya-Vyaya: Aya means gain or income and Vyaya means expenditure. Naturally one would like to have his income higher than his expenditure. Prasna Marga has a way to calculate and find it with the help of the Janma Nakshatra.

Rule: Count from the Nakshatra of the girl to that of the boy. Multiply this number by 5 and divide the product by 7. The remainder is Expenditure number.

Then count the Nakshatra from the bride groom to that of the girl and multiple by and divide the result by 7. The remainder is Income number.

If income is greater than expenditure, marriage brings in all-round prosperity. If expense is greater, the couple will experience much poverty. In our sample chart let us apply this principle: Counting from Mrigasirsha (Girl’s Nakshatra) to Uttaraphalguni (Boy’s Nakshatra) comes to 8. Multiplied by 5 means it becomes 40. Dividing this by 7 we get a remainder of 5Expense. Counting from Uttaraphalguni to Mrigasirsha comes to 21 and multiplied by 5 it is 105 and divided by 7 remainder is 7 – Income. So in this case the income and expenditure balance themselves.

8.9. Rinanukulya: Prasna Marga gives three Principles under this heading.

Principle 1:

Count from Aswini to the Nakshatra of the boy as well as the girl and total them up. Add to this sum – 13. From the total figure subtract – 32 Divide the difference by 5

If the remainder is 1 - the result is acquisition of children. 2 - death of one the couple. 3 – prolonged illness. 4 – prosperity. If the total after adding 13 does not come to 32, then the counting should be made from birth Nakshatra to Aswini.

In our sample chart Aswini to Mrigasirsha = 5 Aswini to Uttaraphalguni = 12 Total of this = 17 Adding 13 we get = 30 So the total is not 32. Hence we have to count from Nakshatra to Aswini. Mrigasirsha to Aswini = 24 Uttaraphalguni to Aswini = 17 Total of this = 41 Adding 13 to this we get = 54 Subtract 32 = 22 Dividing by 5 we get a remainder of 2

62

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes Principle 2:

Count from the birth Nakshatra of the couple to Aswini. Add the two figures and divide the sum by 5.

If the remainder is 1 – Prosperity is indicated. 2 – General progress. 3 – Calamities. 4 – Acquisition of wealth. 5 - Disasters.

In our sample chart Counting from the asterisms of the couple comes to 24 and 17 as per previous principle. Adding these two we get = 41 Dividing this by 5 we get a remainder of 1.

Principle 3:

Birth stars are divided into three Vargas and the results are ascribed depending on their position in the Vargas. Here it is to be seen whether both the Nakshatras of the boy and the girl fall under any one of the Vargas. If they fall under different Vargas, then this rule is not applicable.

yenbeeyes 9. Special Considerations: We will see some of the exceptions if some of the Kuta agreements are not present or they are not favorable. Thereafter, we shall look into the various Other Kutas mentioned at the beginning. I have also mentioned under each category some of these exceptions. Though it is only repetition, still if all of them are present in one single piece, it will be easy for the reader to refer to them immediately.

1. The absence of Stree Deergha may be ignored if Rasi Kuta and Graha Maître are present. 2. If the Rasi of the girl is odd, the 6th and 8th rasis there from are friendly. If the rasi of the girl is even, the 2nd and 12th there from become friendly. The evil due to the birth of the bride in a Rakshasa Gana star may be ignored if Janma rasi being 2nd and 12th, 9th and 5th or 6th and 8th, the lords of the rasis are the same or are mutual friends. 3. Though Graha Maitram is the most important, it need not be considered if the couple has their Janma rasis in 1:7 relationships. 4. Rajju kuta need not be considered in case Graha Maitram, Rasi, Dina and Mahendra Kutas are present. 5. The evil due to Nadi Kuta can be ignored subject to the following conditions: a. The Rasi and Rajju Kuta prevail. b. The same planet is Lord of the Janma rasis of both the boy and the girl. c. The Lords of the Janma rasis of the couple are friends. 6. No two Nakshatras will have all the Kutas matched. As the importance of the Kutas vary, it becomes difficult to judge. Even if we take the point system, it is not final. We have to rely more on the various other factors which will be dealt with in the second part of this book. 7. If the Lords of the Janma Rasis of both are the same like – Aries and Scorpio, Taurus and Libra, Gemini and Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, Capricorn and Aquarius – then the absence of Rajju, Vedha, Gana and Rasi kutas need not be considered. 8. It is better to avoid marriage between the following pairs of Nakshatras as they were found to be not favouring happiness in marriage: a. Krittika – Aslesha b. Aslesha – Swathi c. Chitra – Purvashada

There are certain pairs of Nakshatras which are observed to give some specific results. Though the results as stated cannot solely be attributed to the Janma Nakshatras, it is better to be on guard. a. Jyeshta and Satabhisha – Family will be ruined. b. Uttaraphalguni and Mrigasirsha – indicative of death. c. Hasta and Moola shows financial set backs. d. Rohini and Makha or Purvabhadrapada and Rohini – Many sons e. Aswini and Punarvasu or Swathi and Uttarashada – More daughters f.

yenbeeyes 10. Common Janma Rasi There are various views regarding the results if the Janma rasi of the boy and the girl happen to be the same.

1. According to Narada, common Janma Rasi would be conducive to the couple provided they are born in different constellations. 2. Garga opines that under the above circumstance, the Nakshatra of the boy should precede that of the girl for the union to be a happy one. In case if it is reverse i.e. the Nakshatra of the girl precedes that of the boy, the alliance should be rejected. This view is also supported by Brihaspathi and Bhrigu. 3. Muhurtha Tatwa says that in case of common Janma Rasi, if the boy’s Nakshatra is preceding the girl’s, the Kutas or adaptability need not be applied at all.

66

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 11. Common Janma Nakshatra 1. Common Janma Nakshatra is acceptable in respect of certain specified stars only. For certain Nakshatras the effect will be ordinary. The rest are categorized under Avoidable common Nakshatras.

2. Here again certain ancient authors hold that even though the Janma Nakshatra are the same, the evil becomes nullified if the Padas are different. 3. If the Janma Nakshatra belongs to two signs the Pada of the bride should relate to the previous sign. If, however, the common Janma Nakshatra belongs to two signs equally, the sign for the first 2 quarters should be that of the bridegroom. The Nakshatras

68

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 12. Destructive or Harmful Nakshatras One more point to be seen is the belief that some Nakshatras are harmful or destructive.

For a long time since, it is a strong belief that certain Nakshatras are Dosha Nakshatras and that too only for girls. So parents of both the boy and the girl try to avoid such Nakshatras while finding a suitable partner for their ward. Almost all authors agree that certain parts of Moola, Aslesha, Jyeshta and Visakha are destructive constellations. The padas of these Nakshatras and their effects are as below: 1. Moola – 1st Pada – Evils/Death to husband’s father. 2. Aslesha – 1st Pada – Evils/Death to Husband’s mother. 3. Jyeshta – 1st Pada – Evils/Death to husbands elder brother. 4. Visakha – 4th Pada – Evils/Death to husband’s younger brother.

Barring these padas, the rest are not to be considered as evil. Such people who take the entire Nakshatra as harmful should bear in mind that the so called Dosha Nakshatras cannot re-write the fate of another person as his/her fate has already been written. Unless such a person concerned is having such a destiny, nothing untoward will happen, just because a dosha Nakshatra girl is married into the family. Again Kalamrita at the end states that such doshas are to be applied for boys also.

yenbeeyes 13. Summary All the sources of agreement described above are very effective in results. The effects of all of them have already been given. Of the compatibilities suggested above, some are strong and others are weak. The relative importance of all these will have to be noted. Next question that arises is how many of these agreements must be present so that the alliance can be confirmed? As said earlier, we cannot say all of them or some of them. But all the writers of the view that the essential ones like Janma Rasi, Lord of Janma Rasi, Vasya, Mahendra and Yoni should be definitely acceptable one if the marriage is to be analyzed. Besides Brahmins should look into Gotras they are born in. Others should consider the agreement in respect of Varna in addition to the five mentioned above. Again we can consider the point based system wherein 8 of these agreements are taken into consideration. Mahendra, Stree Deergha, Rajju and Vedha are not included in the point based system. Hence to have a better compatibility, we can include these four Kutas. Since in the point based system Vasya and Mahendra are not included and since they are falling under the five important agreements stated above, we should not omit the same.

We have already discussed a sample chart and the presence or absence of each of these agreements in both have been explained. However, for more clarity, let us consider some more charts and find out their compatibility.

Let us apply the rules for all the 20 Kutas and arrive at the result and then fill up the table of Compatibility. 1. Dina: Girl’s star Ardra is 6th and boy’s star Purvabhadrapada is the 25th star in the natural order of Nakshatras. Hence the boy’s star is (25-6) +1 = 20th star which is not listed in the Nakshatras to be avoided (3rd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 21st, 23rd or 25th). So this agreement is present. We will fill up the table now by putting a Tick mark (√) under the column Good. Next fill up the points column with 3 as this is the point allotted for this Kuta under Points system. 2. Gana: From the table of data we note that both are under Manushya Gana. Same Gana is good. So another tick mark under Good column and the points column will get 6. 3. Mahendra: Boy’s star from that of the girl is 20th. It is not in the list of (4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th). Hence Mahendra agreement is absent. Tick the column bad. As no points are allotted under the Point system for this Kuta leave it blank.

73

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 4. Stree Deergha: Distance of the boy’s star from that of the girl is measured here. Various authorities have different views. Should the boy’s star be 7 stars or 9 or 13 or 15 away from that of the girl. It is left to your discretion. I take the lowest one i.e. 7. Since the boy’s star is 20th from that of the girl in the present case, this agreement is present. So fill up the Good column only as this Kuta also has no points. 5. Yoni: As per the table given under Yoni chapter, the points that are assigned to this agreement come to 1. Locate dog column and go down until you reach lion row. You will find the point. 6. Rasi: Aquarius is the 9th rasi from Gemini. Hence it does not fall under the avoidable rasis (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th). Hence Rasi Kuta is present. Points to be given are 7. 7. Rasyadhipa: For Saturn Mercury is a friend but for Mercury Saturn is Neutral. As no mutual friendship prevail, the agreement cannot be said to be good. But it is passable. Hence Ok column will be ticked and the points will be given full i.e. 5. 8. Vasya: Gemini and Aquarius are not Vasya rasis. Hence this kuta is not present. Mark the column Bad and give no points. 9. Rajju: The charts were of a Tamil Brahmin family where Rajju Kuta is given importance. If in the charts Rajju is not present, there is a custom to reject the charts in Toto even if other Kutas are present. Rajju of the girl and the boy are different. Hence Rajju kuta is present. Under the point system, no points are given for this Kuta. 10. Vedha: The Nakshatras are not in the list of Vedha stars. Hence this Kuta is also good but no points are allotted to this Kuta. 11. Varna-Star: Boy is Pratiloma Varna and the girl is Brahmin. For a Pratiloma any of the four Varnas viz. Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra are not acceptable. Hence this Kuta is not present. 12. Varna-Rasi: Both belong to the same Varna which is considered good. The points allotted are 1. 13. Nadi: Both the Nadis are same. Hence not acceptable. However, let us see if any of the exceptions fit in here. They are not under Madhyama Nadi. They both belong to Dakshina Parswa Nadi which should indicate short life of wife. However this could be ignored in this case as one of the exceptions-viz. Rasi and Rajju Kuta prevails. If we take the Nakshatra Padas – One is Sleshma (Kapha) and the other is Pitta. Hence Nadi Kuta as per Nakshatra Pada is present. Hence the points 8 can be given to this Kuta.

74

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 14. Rasi Yoni: Gemini and Aquarius – Both are of nara-yoni or human sex. Hence it is good. 15. Gotra: As per custom, it was ascertained that they both belong to different Gotra. Now in Astrological terms – the girl belong to Pulaha Gotra and the boy belong to Pulastya Gotra. Since the Gotras are different here also, matching is good. 16. Vihanga: Ardra is Owl and Purvabhadrapada is peacock. Since the Nakshatras do not indicate the same bird, it is not auspicious. 17. Yonyanukulya: Boy is male and girl is female. Hence it is good. None of the Nakshatra is Eunuch. 18. Bhuta: Girl is water element and boy is Akasha element. Since akasha element can be matched with any other element, this kuta is good. 19. Common Nakshatra: Not Applicable 20. Common Rasi: Not Applicable S.No 1

So out of the 18 Kutas 11 Kutas are Good and 2 Kutas are passable. According to the point system the total points come to 31. Most important thing to see is if the five essential kutas are present or not. Out of the five - Janma Rasi, Lord of Janma Rasi, Vasya, Mahendra and Yoni – Vasya and Mahendra are not present. However, according to Vakya Panchang and Kalaprakashika, Dina, Gana, Yoni, Rasi and Rajju are indispensable for Brahmins. As both the boy and the girl belong to the Brahmin community as per social norms, I consider this as a perfect matching.

Let us apply the rules for all the 20 Kutas and arrive at the result and then fill up the table of Compatibility. 1. Dina: Counting from Aswini to Swathi we get 15. This when divided by 9 yields a remainder of 6 which is good. 2. Gana: Both have same Gana. Hence good. 3. Mahendra: Boy’s star from that of the girl is 15th. It is not in the list of (4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th). Hence Mahendra agreement is absent. Tick the column bad. As no points are allotted under the Point system for this Kuta leave it blank. 4. Stree Deergha: Since the boy’s star is 15th from that of the girl in the present case, this agreement is present. 5. Yoni: The boy is of Male-Buffalo Yoni and the girl is of male – Horse Yoni. Both are enemies. And also as per the table the point is zero. Hence this agreement is not present. 6. Rasi: Libra is the 8th rasi from Aries. Here the position of Rasi is 8:6. All authorities are of the opinion that a bridegroom, having his radical Moon in 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th from the radical Moon of the bride can be considered for marriage. Brihaspati

77

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes is the exception as he feels that the 8th position should also be considered as bad. But he gives one exception that there should not be any Vedha between the stars and Vasya should be present. In the present case there is no Vedha but there is no Vysya also. Hence we can safely presume that this agreement is present as it satisfies the major condition that the boy’s rasi should not fall in the avoidable rasis (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th). Hence Rasi Kuta is present. The purpose of giving this explanation is to enlighten the readers that in majority of the softwares that I have come across, this position is considered as negative. 7. Rasyadhipa: Both the rasi lords are neutral to each other. Hence this agreement is only ordinary 8. Vasya: Aries and Libra are not Vasya rasis. Hence this kuta is not present. 9. Rajju: Rajju of the girl and the boy are different. Hence Rajju kuta is present. 10.Vedha: For Aswini Jyeshta is the Vedha star and for Swati-Rohini is the Vedha Star. Hence this Kuta is also good. 11.Varna-Star: Boy is Vaishya and the girl is Brahmin. Girl is of higher caste. Hence it is not permissible. 12.Varna-Rasi: Boy is of lower grade (Sudra) and the girl is of higher grade (Kashatriya) Hence this kuta agreement is not present. No points are allotted. 13.Nadi: Nadis of both are different. They fall in the 1st and the 3rd that is to say Vama Parswa Nadi and Dakshina Parswa Nadi. Hence Nadi Kuta is present. Nakshatra Nadi Kuta need not be seen here. 14.Rasi Yoni: Girl is of Animal yoni and boy of Human yoni which is considered as fair agreement. 15. Gotra: The Nakshatra gotra agreement is not present as they both belong to Marichi Gotra. 16.Vihanga: The girl is a vulture and the boy is a crow. Since they do not have the same bird, this kuta is not present. 17.Yonyanukulya: Both boy and girl are male Yoni. Hence Yonyanukulya is absent. 18. Bhuta: Girl is earthy element and boy is fiery element. Since earthy element can be matched with any other element, this kuta is good. 19.Common Nakshatra: Not Applicable 20.Common Rasi: Not Applicable

In this case also like in the previous case out of the five essential agreements viz., Rasi, Rasyadhipa, Mahendra, Vasya and Yoni, Mahendra and Vysya are not present. Under the point system it comes to 30. Even if we remove the points given to Rasyadhipa as the agreement is only ordinary, still the point will be 25 which is well above the average of 18 points. Hence the two charts can be matched.

This is a case of love marriage. The boy is from a South Indian Brahmin family who value the tradition and customs very much. The girl is a foreigner hailing from Belarus. Both were living in Germany and fell in love. When the boy’s parents approached me they did not reveal the truth to me. They simply gave me the Nakshatra and the pada. Later on when I said that there is a very good compatibility, they came out with the truth and after some days came with the full birth data. I told them that enough is enough. Normally, I do not

However, since they were very good friends to our family, I agreed upon and to my surprise, I found the charts also presented a very good picture. I shall be discussing more on these charts in my second volume.

Let us apply the rules for all the 20 Kutas and arrive at the result and then fill up the table of Compatibility. 1. Dina: Boy’s star is the 21st from that of the girl. Hence Dina kuta is absent. 2. Gana: Deva gana and Manushya gana is also considered good. 3. Mahendra: Boy’s star from that of the girl is 21st. It is not in the list of (4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th). Hence Mahendra agreement is absent. 4. Stree Deergha: Since the boy’s star is 21st from of the girl, this agreement is present. 5. Yoni: Serpent and Lion gives a point 2 as per Yoni table. Hence it is only ordinary. 6. Rasi: Aquarius is the 9th rasi from Gemini. Hence Rasi kuta is present. 7. Rasyadhipa: For Saturn Mercury is a friend but Mercury treats Saturn as neutral. Hence Rasyadhipa agreement is ordinary. 8. Vasya: There is no Vasya between the rasis of the boy and the girl. 9. Rajju: Rajju of the girl and the boy are different. Mrigasirsha falls under Madhyama Rajju. But Purvabhadrapada falls under the 1st column. Hence Rajju kuta is present.

81

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes 10.Vedha: Both are not coming under the list of Vedha star. Hence this Kuta is also good. 11.Varna-Star: Boy is Brahmin and the girl is Anuloma. For Anuloma any of the 4 varnas is passable. 12.Varna-Rasi: Both belong to the same Varna. Hence matching is approved.1 13.Nadi: Nadis of both are different. They fall in the 1st and the 2nd that is to say Vama Parswa Nadi and Madhyama Nadi. Hence Nadi Kuta is present. Nakshatra Nadi Kuta need not be seen here. 14.Rasi Yoni: Both have same-human yoni which is considered good. 15.Gotra: The Nakshatra gotra agreement is not present as they both belong to Pulastya Gotra. 16.Vihanga: The girl is a vulture and the boy is a crow. Since they do not have the same bird, this kuta is not present. 17.Yonyanukulya: Girl is in female Nakshatra and the boy is in male nakshatra which is considered good. 18. Bhuta: Girl is watery element and boy is akasha element. Since akasha element can be matched with any other element, this kuta is good. 19.Common Nakshatra: Not Applicable 20.Common Rasi: Not Applicable

The agreements table is given in the next page.

Here again out of the essential 5 kutas, Mahendra and Vasya are not matching. Point-wise it comes to 29. Even if we are to remove the points for the ordinary match of Rasyadhipa, it comes to 24 which is an acceptable score. Hence even though the marriage is a love marriage, the Kuta agreement is also favourable.

Next I would like to discuss the charts of a boy and girl whose parents came to me for the purpose of matching. They presented me 5 print outs taken out by them using the facility of Internet. They were confused. I present below the results as shown by them. 2 were of South Indian Parameters of 10 Kutas and three were under the Ashta Kuta. For South Indian parameters they have given descriptions and for the North Indian style points have been given. In the table the first two are South Indian parameters and the rest North Indian system.

So we notice that there is difference in respect of Gana, Yoni and Dina agreements as per the point system. Vasya, Mahendra and Stree Deergha are listed as Very Low in one and they are treated as bad by the other one. Gana and Yoni also in the South Indian parameter needs verification. The Very Good in one software may be equated to Good in another. So here we will discuss only the following: Vasya, Mahendra, Gana, Yoni, Dina, and Stree Deergha. The data is given below:

1. Vasya: Rule is that if the rasis fall under the Vasya list or if both have same rasi Vasya Kuta is said to be Good. This is correctly judged by the Ashta Kuta software whereas the ‘Dasavidha Porutham’ has not judged it correctly. 2. Mahendra: Mahendra is applicable only when the boy’s star is beyond the 4th from the girl and then continues to increase. Since the boy’s nakshatra is the second, Mahendra Kuta is not present. Very Low may not be the correct judgment and it should be bad. 3. Gana: Rakshasa boy and Deva girl is only ordinary. Very Low may not be correct and 0 points is also wrong. 4. Yoni: Sheep-Cat combination gives 2 points as per Yoni table. Hence we must say that it has been correctly judged by the softwares. 5. Dina: Boy’s Nakshatra is the 2nd one from the girl and it is a good match. 6. Stree Deergha: This is always subject to controversy as the distance between the girl’s Nakshatra and the boy’s Nakshatra differs from authority to authority. In any case the lowest minimum we have taken is 7. Since the boy’s star is the 2nd from the girl’s definitely, Stree Deergha Kuta is totally absent.

85

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes This is how I explained the things to them and of course I took up the rest of the parameters and advised them that the matching is good and they can go ahead with the marriage. Both of them are married now and are having a girl child also.

The boy’s parents were much worried as his Nakshatra was Aslesha and every other girl’s parent immediately said that Nakshatras do not match as majority of them feared that it will harm the girl’s mother. I assured them, nothing of that sort will happen as the Nakshatra is only in the 2nd Pada and assured them that the boy would get a girl definitely.

So far we have seen three charts wherein the matching was favourable. Now let us see some charts wherein, we find some problems. First I will give the data and then do the matching. In the end I will spell out the problems of the persons. I am also incorporating the basis of compatibility or otherwise of the charts in the table itself.

Here as per Kuta points the total comes to 21 which is to be considered as good. But if we take into consideration the Gana, Yoni and Rasyadhipa agreements they are only ordinary. If we deduct the points for Gana and Rasyadhipa (as Yoni has already been taken care of in the table for such ordinary or passable agreements) the three the points come to only 10. Hence it is always advisable to do the matching as per rules and do not blindly accept the points as given in some softwares. Also note that the most important agreements like Dina, Mahendra, Stree Deergha, and Rasi are totally negative. Under such circumstances it is better to go in for a complete study of the charts and then come to a conclusion. Here in this case the marriage took place on 30.04.2005 and due to differences of opinion, they started living separately from 04.07.2008 and now the husband has filed a divorce. It is true we cannot ascribe the absence of agreements as mentioned above for the happenings but care could have been taken and the charts could have been studied well before advising them about marriage.

But there is almost oral fight between both of them daily on almost each and every aspect. Even the small things each one takes it seriously and finds fault with the other. Because of social obligations they are living as husband and wife-just for name sake. Also there was no issue to them. After much objection from the husband, the wife adopted a male child which was totally opposed by the husband’s other family members.

Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes As per Ashta Kuta system 6 kutas are agreeable giving a handsome point of 30 out of 36. Probably keeping this in mind they were married. The points overlooked are (1) Absence of Rajju agreement (2) Bad Yoni agreement. Both are essential one. Thanks to South Indian rule of ‘Dasavidha Porutham’ or the ten kuta agreement. Here Rajju is given the utmost importance. If there is no Rajju agreement, the charts are summarily rejected. How true it is in this case. Both are now heading for a divorce.

In this case also there is no Rajju agreement. If we remove the points given to the OK column LEAVING Yoni it totals to only 10. Hence matching should not be advised. The reality is that both of them met on 09.04.2000 and engagement was done on 16.04.2000 and the marriage was held on 03.07.2000. Now numerous petty fights are going on almost daily between them. Again due to social obligations they are not separated.

yenbeeyes 15. Common Table of Compatibility Also why not we make out a master table listing out all the possible Nakshatras suitable for a girl or boy. Let us proceed in this way. For each star of girl we are going to examine, we will prepare a separate table and list the results. We may have to make 36 tables (as some Nakshatras cover two rasis) which will serve as a ready reckoner for all. We will also omit Gotra, Vihanga, Yonyanukulya and Bhuta agreements as these are not considered as important. Those who are interested in knowing the agreements of these can refer to the respective heads given above. If the agreement is Good it is mentioned as ‘G’ and highlighted with green color. And if it is OK or ordinary or just acceptable it is mentioned as ‘O’ and highlighted with yellow color. If there is no agreement or if the agreement is one that is to be rejected it is just highlighted in red. The parameters used will be a common one for all and is summarized below: 1. Dina: If the Nakshatra of the boy from that of the girl is 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th or 27th it is denoted as ‘G’. If the Nakshatra of the boy from that of the girl is 1st, 10th or 19th it is treated as just acceptable and denoted by letter ‘O’. All other countings are left blank.

The following table will be a ready reckoner for the same:

2. Gana: If both the boy and the girl belong to the same Gana or if the girl is of Manushya and the boy is of Deva it is denoted as ‘G’ – Good. If the boy is of Rakshasa Gana and the girl is of Deva or Manushya Gana it is treated as Ordinary – ‘O’. All other combinations are shown a blank. Exception of bride’a star above 13 when counted from the boy or the Lords of Janma rasis of both are friends or same is applicable then it is treated as Ordinary.

3. Mahendra: Counting of Nakshatra from girl to boy comes to 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 treated as Good- ‘G’. All others are blank meaning not in agreement. 4. Stree Deergha: If the boy’s star is beyond 7th from that of the girl it is treated as Ordinary – ‘O’ and if it is beyond 13 from that of the girl it is treated as Good – ‘G’. Rest are left blank. 5. Yoni: Here we are not considering the Eunuch class. Much has been discussed on this principle and hence as decided above we will use the table as given by Dr. B.V.Raman in his Prasna Marga to decide about this agreement. As stated earlier if the unit is 4 it is denoted as ‘G’ and if it is zero it is bad and hence left blank and all other units are represented as ‘O’. [Please refer the table given at the end of the chapter on Yoni] 6. Rasi-Yoni: Same yoni of the boy rasi and the girl rasi is given as ‘G’. If one is animal and the other is human it is fair and hence ‘O’ is given. All others are bad and

yenbeeyes left blank. Here Capricorn is considered as BIRD even though the first half is animal and the second half is bird. This is because, as we do not prepare the horoscopes and hence we are not aware of the exact degrees of the birth stars this assumption is taken for preparing the table. In view of this wherever matching is done with Capricorn it is treated as Ordinary. In case if the same is in the first half of Capricorn then it will be an animal and hence Rasi-Yoni agreement with respect of Human rasis has to be Ordinary (viz. with Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) and with respect to animal rasis (Aries, Taurus, Leo and Capricorn) it has to be treated as Good. If the same falls in the second half then it is a bird and compatibility will be Good only with respect to Bird rasis (Pisces and Capricorn) and for all others it will be bad. Readers must remember this point whenever the rasi of the bride or bridegroom falls in Capricorn. 7. Rasi: Readers are advised to go through the entire chapter on Rasi agreement and come to a conclusion as this agreement has lot of ifs and buts. As this is a generalized table for an easy reference for the readers, the following parameters only have been taken into consideration. Good rating is given for those rasis of the boy’s which are more than 6 from the girl. Girl and boy born in the same rasi and having different Janma Nakshatra is also considered as auspicious. If the boy’s rasi is 3rd or 4th from the girl it is treated as Ordinary. All other exceptions have not been taken into account while preparing the table. 8. Rasyadhipa: If the lords of rasis of the boy and the girl are same or friends it is treated as Good. If they both are Neutral or one is neutral and the other is friendly it is treated as Ordinary. Rest are left blank. The position obtaining in Navamsa has not been taken into account while preparing the tables. Hence readers are requested to refer to the Navamsa lords relationship also if the agreement here is not favourable. 9. Vasya: If the boy rasi is Vasya to Girl or if both the rasis are same it is given a ‘G’. If the girl rasi is Vasya to boy it is treated as Ordinary. Enemy rasis are left blank. 10. Rajju: If the rajju of the boy and the girl are different it is given ‘G’. All others are treated as bad. All the various exceptions as also the differing views have not been taken into consideration while preparing the table. 11. Vedha: If there is Vedha between the stars of the boy and the girl it is considered inauspicious and they are left blank. All others will be marked as ‘G’. 12. Varna-Rasi: Girl and boy having same Varna or Boy having higher Varna are treated as ‘G’. Others are left blank.

97

yenbeeyes 13. Varna-Nakshatra: Here Anuloma and Pratiloma are also taken into account. Girl and boy having same Varna or boy having higher Varna are treated as Good. Anuloma with other 4 categories are passable and hence given as ‘O’. Rest are bad and hence left blank. 14. Nadi: If the Nadis of the boy and the girl are different, it is good. If same Nadi is found then the exception that if Rasi and Rajju agreement are Good or if the lord of Janma rasis are same or friends it given a rating of Ordinary. All others are rejected and left blank. 15. Nadi-Pada: If the Nakshatra Pada of the boy and girl fall under the 1st column and the last column as given in the Nadi Pada table it is treated as Ordinary. If both fall under the middle column as per Nadi Pada table, they are rejected and shown a blank. Rest are treated as Good.

yenbeeyes 16. Conclusion: In the foregoing chapters, I have tried to present all the available facts with regard to Match making. Nothing stated above is my creation and I do not want to take credit for the same. It is only a compilation of various views that are prevalent on the subject of Match Making. It is quite possible, during the course of compilation I might have made mistakes for which I fully own the responsibility. It might have kept in inadvertently and not done intentionally. Readers may go through the entire book and send in their comments/observations to me at [email protected]. Mistakes if any found can also be pointed out so that the same can be rectified by me. As also suggestions for additions/ deletions are also welcome.

Last but not the least – I have a request to make to the readers. I am doing a lot of research on the subject for which I need lots of horoscopes. So readers if they have no objection can send in as many charts as possible. I can assure that the names of the persons will never be disclosed to any one. I just need the birth details only like – Date of birth, Time of birth, Place of birth, if possible Latitude and Longitude of birth place, gender and important events and their approximate dates. This can be sent to the same email id given above.

In the second part pertaining to the same subject viz-Marriage Compatibility, I shall be dealing with Kuja Dosha, Papa Samayam, Dosha Samayam and various other aspects of Dosha and appropriate remedial measures to overcome the Dosha. Also the planetary positions of the charts will also be dealt with. In addition, there will be separate sections for divorce, separation and life after marriage. I also intend bringing a third part which will be purely on Timing of marriage. So please look forward to the next additions on the subject.
