Selection of Girl (or boy) through horoscope matching.

NO, not at all! In those olden days, when the child marriage marriages were rampant, it was essentially necessary for checking the compatibility of horoscope. To check for the boy's longevity, health, finance, social status of his future etc. Since the couples would be too young to judge about the future, it was devised to check the horoscope. So the arranged marriages were, mostly after checking the horoscopes of the boy and girl, to understand their future based on the natal charts. Since it was at different era that the horoscopes were compared and matched, whence the balya vivaha (child marriages) took place. But for the present generation, the marriages are solemnized after the eligible persons attaining generally after 20 years of age, fairly grown and matured, it is not a must or essential at all to match the horoscope.

And this holds good for the Love marriages, where the horoscope matching is a nightmare for many, as the many elders still insisting on matching the natal charts. Where it is not at all pertinent or necessary, still there are many blind followers of the astrological myths, or to be precise, I can blatantly state it as a mirth!  In a civilized society, these blind faith are something causing a lot more trouble than soothing analysis from the subject - Astrology. In this article, I discuss the general conditions and planetary alignments that effects or affects the persons married life. But for the general view, this cannot be taken as a final verdict. And in many cases, this judgment too fail, if any one's horoscope is with wrong calculations or birth timings. Please remember, fate supercedes everything and it is left to the destiny that rules. No, not the Astrologers or their predictions.

 

If you truly love some one, then go ahead, get married and be happy for ever. Never even look at this article as this is not meant for you. Marriages are made in heaven, and surely not by matching the horoscopes by astrologers. Remember this, you will be happy, that you avoided the horoscope matching.
 
For a long happy successful married life, the horoscope of girl should be not only good but match with yours(boy). In the present day context where divorces have increased manifold this is of paramount importance. It is impossible that the horoscope is good in all respects and match with yours in all aspects but a minimum requirement should be met with. Only then you will have a happy and harmonious married life. So attach considerable importance to the quality of girl's horoscope and its matching with that of yours. You may even take the advice of experts before you take a final decision.
  • Girl's Star
    If the girl's star is Mrigashersham or Magam or Swathi or Anusham then you need not look into other details and immediately select her. These stars are considered to be exceptionally good and so do not require matching of horscope from other angles.
  • Rajju
    Matching of Rajju is most important. Star of girl should not be the same or 10th or 19th of of your star. Some same stars are however exceptions.
  • Star
    Count from girl's star upto your star and divide the figure by nine. If the reminder is 2,4,6,8 then matching is good. If it is 5 it is tolerable. But if the reminder is 1, 3, 7 then there is no matching.
  • Rasi
    Your Rasi should be at least 6 counts from that of the girl. The owner of your Rasi should be friend and not an enemy of the owner of girl's Rasi.
  • Yoni
    Star Animal Bird Tree Ganam
    Aswini Male Horse Rajali Etti Angel
    Barani He Elephant Crow Nelli Human being
    Karthigai She goat Peocock Athi Rakshsan
    Rohini He Serpant Owl Nawal Human being
    Mrigashersham She Pelican Hen Karungali Angel
    Thiruvadharai He Dog sparrow Shengali Human being
    Punarpusam She Cat Swan Moongil Angel
    Pusam He Goat Water Crow Arasu Angel
    Ayilyam He Cat Keech Keech Punnai Demon
    Magam He Rat He Eagle Al Demon
    Puram She Cat She Eagle Palasu Human being
    Uthiram Buffallow Woodpecker Ithi Human being
    Hastham Buffalow Cow Vulture Athi Angel
    Chtithirai He Tiger Shilwandu Vilwam Demon
    Swathi He Buffallow Bee Marutham Angel
    Visakam She Tiger Stork Kadukkai Demon
    Anusham She Deer Vanambadi Magiyam Angel
    Kettai He Deer Chakkaravagam Parai Demon
    Moolam She Dog Shembothu Mango tree Demon
    Puradam He Monkey Kavuthari Vanchi Human Being
    Uthiradam Mongoose Valiyan Pala Human Being
    Thiruvonam She Monkey Pelican Erukku Angel
    Avittam She Lion Vandu Valli Demon
    Sadhayam She Horse Dead Black Crow Kadambu Demon
    Purattadhi He Lion Ullan Thema Human Being
    Uthirattadhi Cow Kottan Vembu Human Being
    Revathi she Elephant Valluru Iluppai Angel

    The second column in the Table gives the name of animal associated with the star. This is the Yoni of the star. The star of girl and boy should be of different Yoni. Further the animals asociated with girl's star should not be an enemy of that of boy's star such as Cow-Tiger, Elephant- Lion, Horse-Buffalow, Serpant-Mongoose, Monkey-Goat, Cat-Rat, Deer-Dog.
  • Ganam
    The fifth column in the Table gives the ganam associated with a star. Boy and girl should belong to the same ganam. If boy belongs to 'Angel' ganam, the girl can be of 'Human being' ganam. There will be agreement if boy belongs to 'demon' ganam and girl to 'Human being' ganam'. If the ganam of both boy and girl belong to 'Demon' then the star of boy should be above 14th of girl's star.
  • Mahaendram
    The agreement is good if the count from girl's star to boy's star is 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25.
  • Vashiyam
    Agreement of Rasi for vasiyam are given Table below
    Rasi of girl or boy Rasi of girl or boy
    Mesham Simham, Vrichikam
    Vrishabam Katakam, Thulam

    Vrichikam Katakam
    Dhanus Meenam
    Makaram Mesham, Kumbam

  • Vedai
    Stars which are Veddai to each other are given below
    Ashvini - Kettai
    Barani - Anusham
    Karthigai - Vishakam
    Rohini - Swathi
    Thiruvadharai - Thiruvonam
    Punarpusam - Uthiradam
    Pusam - Puradam
    Ayilyam - Moolam
    Magam - Revathi
    Pooram - Uthirattadhi
    Uthiram - Poorattadhi
    Hastham - Sadhayam
    Mrigashirsham - Chithirai - Avittam. The boy's star should not be Vedai to girl's star and vice versa
  • NadiThere are 3 Nadis viz Parshva Nadi, Madya Nadi, Samana Nadi.The stars belonging to the three Nadis are given below.
    Parshva Nadi - Ashvini, Thiruvadharai, Punarpusam, Uthiram, Hastham, Kettai, Moolam, Sadayam, Poorattadhi
    Madya Nadi - Barani, Mrigashirsam, Poosam, Pooram, Chithirai, Anusham, Pooradam, Avittam, Uthirattadhi
    Samana Nadi - Rohini, Ayilyam, Magam, Swathi, vishakam, Uthiradam, Thiruvonam, Revathi.
    The girl and boy should not belong to the same Nadi.
  • Sevvai Dosham
    If Sevvai(Mars) is placed in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran, the horscope has a strong Sevvai dosham. If Sevvai(Mars) is placed at 7th or 8th house from Sukran(Venus), there is Sevvai dosham but it is slightly milder than earlier. If Sevvai(Mars) is placed at 2nd, 4th, or 12th house from Lagnam, Chandran or Sukran(Venus) there is mild Sevvai dosham. For horoscope agreement, the Sevvai dosham in girl's and boy's horoscope should be of matching order. If Sevvai is in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran in girl's horoscope, then Sevvai should also be in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran in Boy's horscope for matching. Otherwise, there will be no agreement. If Sevvai is along with Guru or is seen by Guru(5th or 7th or 9th house from Guru), then the degree of Sevvai dosham gets reduced. If Sevvai is in its own house or is exhalted or debilitated, the Sevvai dosham gets reduced or is not present(according to some). If Sevvai is alongwith Rahu and Kethu or is aspected by Sani then Sevvai dosham gets reduced.
  • Rahu/Kethu Dosham
    If Rahu/Kethu is in 7th or 8th house from Lagnam or Chandran, there is Rahu/Kethu dosham. For matching, there should be Rahu/Kethu dosham in both girl's and boy's horoscope or both horoscopes should be free from Rahu/Kethu dosham
  • Dasa Sandhi
    No dasa in girl's and boy's horscope should change within 6 months of each other within 30years from marriage. If such change occurs there is likelyhood of problem in married life.
And finally for Gandharva Vivaha known as Love marriages, it is not at all necessary to match the horoscope at the first place. This is according to Hindu system and practice that marriage matching is only taken for the arranged marriages through elders and there is no need for one to match the horoscope for Love marriages.

Dear Sir,

I am very much relieved after seeing your website regarding the details of love marriage.

I plan to meet you or contact through phone.

In short, I and another girl is in love for more than 8 years. But now due to their parents sake we see the jatagam. In that my star is moolam and her is revathi. Some persons told that if we marry then one our life will end shortly, also there will be problem in child birth. so they feared and not accpeting our marriage. But now i realised these thisngs are not apply to Gaandharva marriage.

Is there any other way to convince their parents..
