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, R. Santhanam, M.Ramakrishna Bhatt, Sanjay Rath, Sanjay

Prabhakaran, PVR. Narasimha Rao, Iranganti Rangacharya and many more


persons from whose writings I could gather many intricate things which I have
used in this book. I heart fully acknowledge them through these lines as I could
not get their permission directly to reproduce their principles.

It is quite possible that I might have made some grave mistakes in presenting the details
and the fault is entirely my own. If the readers could bring out the errors or discrepancies
found in this book, I shall be grateful to them and in my next edition, I shall have them
corrected.

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.”

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 7 th 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 non-
matching 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. Health
4. Finance
5. Future
6. Children
7. Harmony
8. Lagna matching
9. Subhapati matching
10. Upapada matching
11. Ghataka matching
12. Dasavidha porutham or the Ten Kuta or agreement
13. The non-scoring Kuta
14. Presence of Dosha
15. Strength of planets according to their placements
16. Strength of Bhava
17. 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
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.

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

8
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Point based Kutas where a score or point has been assigned to each of the Kutas, the order
is important.

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:

Kuta Marks
Varna 1
Vasya 2
Tara or Dina 3
Yoni 4
Rasyadhipa or Graha Maitram 5
Gana 6
Rasi 7
Nadi 8
Total 36

The other non-scoring Kutas are – Mahendra, Stree-Deergha, Vedha and Rajju.

According to Prasna Marga, there are 23 items or sources of agreement. 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

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:

वर्णो पश्यं तथा तारा योनिश्च ग्रह मैत्रकम |्



गर्णमैत्र ं भकू टं च िाडी च ैते गर्णानिकः ||
(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

11
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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:

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


Kuta Indications
Dina Dinath Ayushyam Aarokyam - Brahmnanam Dhinam Sreshtam
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 - Kshathriyanam Ganam dhatha
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 - Soothranam Yonir evacha
Indicates sexual compatibility.
Rasi Rasinam Vamsavirthi Kiruth - Rasi mathranthu Vai Syanam
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

12

yenbeeyes

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 Vasyakam
Development of posterity, Assures mutual love and attachment. Vasya means
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 Vedhaya Soka nasanam
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.

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) Aries (Mars) Taurus (Venus) Gemini (Mercury)
Purvabhadrapada Aswini Krittika Mrigasirsha
4 1, 2, 3, 4 2, 3, 4 3, 4

The names of Rasis are given in red with a yellow background. The planets owning the rasis
are given in brackets in red.

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.

Classification of Nakshatras:

1st Cycle 2nd Cycle 3rd Cycle


Janma Anujanma Trijanma
Aswini Makha Moola
Bharani Purvaphalguni Purvashada
Krittika Uttaraphalguni Uttarashada

Planets Rahu and Ketu are not taken into consideration for the purposes of determining the
friendship at least for the purpose of matching. But they do have friends, enemies also.

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 Girl
Nakshatra Uttara Phalguni Mrigasirsha
Taken from Panchanga
Pada 2 4
Rasi Virgo Gemini
Taken from the Nakshatra Pada table
Rasi Lord Mercury Mercury
Friend Sun, Venus Sun, Venus
Neutral Mars, Jupiter, Saturn Mars, Jupiter, Saturn Taken from the Planetary Friendship table
Enemy Moon Moon
Gana Manushya Deva
Yoni Male Female
Yoni class Cow Serpent
Taken from the classification of Nakshatra table
Rajju Nabhi (Navel) Siro (Head)
Vedha Purvabhadrapada Chitra, Dhanishta
Nadi Vata Pitta

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:

No. Name Meaning Effects


1 Janma Birth Danger to Body
2 Sampat Wealth Wealth and Prosperity
3 Vipat Danger Danger, Losses, accidents
4 Kshema Well-being Prosperity
5 Pratyak Obstacles Hindrances
6 Saadhana Achievement Realisation of ambitions
7 Naidhana Death Danger, death inflicting
8 Mitra Friend Good, friendly
9 Param Mitra Good friend Very favourable.

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.
There is some exception and the effect of celebrating such a marriage is exhaustively dealt
with by Kasyapa Maharishi.
He warns the girls born in the six stars Karthikai, Aslesha, Chithirai, Anuradha, Dhanishta
and Sathabisha not to marry the boys born in the 7 stars, Aslesha, Swathi, Poorvashada,
Dhansihta, Bharani and Karhikai. He expects the married life to be very short.
But he approves the match between a girl born in Arudhra, Poorvaphalguni and Pushya and
the boy born in the 7th star counted from them.
Also he adds:-
1. Happiness and birth of children are promised if Punarvasu girl marries Hastham boy.
2. Just opposite results will be experienced by a Jyeshta girl if she takes a Sathayam
boy as her husband.
3. Mrigaseerham girl will lose early her husband born in Pooram.
4. So also Hastham girl should not venture to marry a Moolam boy.
5. Many children are born to Rohini girls by marrying makam boy.
6. Similarly, Poorattadhi girl will be the mother of many issues if her husband is born in
Rohini.
7. Aswini girl get dejected by having many daughters, one after the other, by accepting
a Punarvasu partner.
8. Swathi girls give consolation to Aswini girl as she also brings forth many daughters
as her husband would have been born in Uthiradam star (the 7th)
9. Revathi girls with Arudhra boys and Uthrapalguni girls with Jyeshta boys do not lead
a happy life. There will be no understanding among the couple. Gradually, they
develop hatred and sooner or later decide once for all to be ever inimical. A few will
get separated. In other countries, they will have frequent divorces.
10. If the girl's star is Makam, she will have children. But they will be wicked.
11. Visaka girl will hate Sravanam husband.
12. Sravanam girls will divorce Aswini boys.
13. Uthirattadhi girls lose their husbands early by marrying the boys born in the 7 th star.

19

14. Uthiradam girls enjoy all the fruits of life in this world by marrying the boys born in
the 7th star.
15. Poorvashada girls develop more and more of affection towards their husbands and
lead a happy life.
16. Bharani star girls, when fortunate take Pushyam star boys.

Thus sage Kashyapa has given his findings so that one can boldly select or reject the 7 th
star.
Auntee's proverbs:
Learned astrologers have observed that no evil result is indicated whatever be the star of
the Boy. His star may be any one of the 27 stars. There is no malefic effect.
But girls born in nakshatras indicate certain undesirable results. Such stars are only four in
number. They are Moolam, Aslesha, Jyeshta and Viskam. Even then, only when Moon was in
a particular pada or quarter of the nakshatra it is considered to be evil.
Danger to father-in-law is threatened by Moolam first pada bride.
Evil to mother-in-law is indicated by Aslesha 1st pada girl.
Jyeshta 1st pada bride is dangerous to her elder brother-in-law.
But Visakham 4th pada girl shows anxiety to her younger brother-in-law.
The other padas are not harmful.
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 88 th 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:

Add 87 to 20 which come to 107. Now find out the row corresponding to 107. This is the
88th Navamsa for the girl’s Nakshatra Pada.

The Navamsa Moon of the girl will be in Scorpio as per last column. The 88 th 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.

How to judge using the above table?

The Best Agreement (Uthamam)


Count the star from that of the girl. The star of the boy may be in the first or the 2 nd
or the 3rd paryaya. Whatever be the Paryaya, if the star of the boy is the Sadhaka
6th, or Kshema the 4th or Paramamaithra the 9th they agree most satisfactorily.
6, 15, 24; 4, 13, 22; 9, 18, 27 stars agree.

Maddhimam-Moderate agreement:
Janma, Anujanma, Thrijanma stars
Sampath the 2nd, Maithram the 8th are auspicious.
1, 10, 19; 2, 11, 20; 8, 17, 26 stars also agree.

Special Rules: If the boy's star is 3 or 5 or 7 in the 1st paryaya, they do not concord.
If the boy' star is the 3rd in the 2nd paryaya, reject only the 1st quarter of the star
I.e. the boy's star may be 12 from that of the girl.
If his birth would have been in the 1st quarter, discord it.
If the birth were to be in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th pada or quarter of the star you can
match them. They agree.
If the boy's star is the 5th star in the 2nd paryaya, only the 4th pada is to be rejected.
So also do not match if the boy is born in the 3 rd pada of the 7th star in 2nd paryaya
counted from that of the girl. Other padas agree.
If the star of the boy is in the 3rd paryaya reject if the star of the boy is in the 88 th
pada. A few authors allow the 7th star in the 3rd paryaya and a few reject it.

But, we consider the whole horoscope and if the lord of the 7 th star is benefic, we do

22
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

match it but if the lord of the 7th star rules evil houses, we reject it outright.

(E.g.) Suppose one is born in Leo. Her star is either Bharani or Purvaphalguni or
Purvashada star. Then the lord of her star is Venus. The 7 th star in the 3rd paryaya
to Bharani is Uthirattadhi; the 7th star in the 3rd payaya to Purvaphalguni is
Pushyam and that to Purvashada is Anuradha. These 3 stars Pushyam, Anuradha
and Uththrapathrapada are governed by Saturn. As Leo is the Lagna, Saturn rules
the 6th and 7th houses, it is evil to those born in Leo. Hence reject.
But if the Lagna is Taurus, for which Sa is a benefic, match the horoscopes.

Suppose Uthrapalguni 1st pada was the star of the bride. Moon will be in Simha. The
trine stars Kathikai, Uthiram and Uthiradam are ruled by Sun. The 7 th stars in the
3rd paryaya to these 3 stars are Revathi, Aslesha and Jyeshta. If the Lagna of the
girl is Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Capricorn, we say that Mercury
the lord of Revathi etc. Is a benefic to these Lagna borns: hence the girl born in
Uthrapalguni first pada can marry one born in Aslesha; or one born in Uthrashada
first pada will concord with Jeshta; or one born in Karthikai star will agree with
Revathi husband. But if the Lagna is Mesha, Mercury is the lord of 3 and 6. The
Scorpio, Mercury is lord of 8 and 11 and so on. Hence Mercury is definitely an evil
and we do not approve the matching of the brides born in Sun's star with the
bridegroom born in Mercury's star.

27th star - Special rule


"Saptha Vimsadhipam Thyajyam
Binna Rasi Gatham Yathi"
If the star of the boy is the 27th when counted from that of the bride and if Moon were to be in
the same sign in their horoscope they concord; But if the Moon sign of the boy is the 12th to that
of the girl they do not concord.
Suppose one is born in Makamstar, then the Moon will be in Leo. If the boy is born in Aslesha,
Moon will be in Cancer. According to this rule they do not agree. But if the bride is born in
Aslesha having Moon in Cancer, she can marry one born in the 27th star Pushyam with Moon in
Cancer according to this rule. One has to reject a boy born in Chithirai first half having Moon in

23
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Virgo, but select a boy born in Chithirai second half with Moon in Libra, for girls born in Swathi
nakshatra when Moon will be in Libra.
If the star of the bride and the bride-groom is one and the same, a few can be matched and some
are not approved by our sages: even here, there are some controversial statements.
Uthamam-Excellent:
If their stars were to be either Rohini or Arudhra or Makam or Hastham or Visakam or Sravanam
or Uthirattadhi or Revathi the agreement is excellent.
Maddhimam-Moderate
If both are born in the same star and if it were to be either Aswini or Karthikai or Mrigaseersha
or Pushya or Poorvashada or Uthrashada, the agreement is moderate. They do agree.
Athamam-Useless
If both are born in any one of the following stars reject: They are Bharani, Aslesha, Swathi,
Jyeshta, Moolam, Dhanishta, Sathabisha and Purvapathrapada. Therefore if the nakshatra of the
boy and the girl is same, the first mentioned 8 stars are excellent, the next 11 stars are fair
whereas the 8 stars in the third group are to be ignored.
Same star: but Moon in different signs:
Suppose Karthikai is the star of both the bride and bridegroom. Moon may be in Aries or Taurus.
You can match (a) if both have Moon in Aries or (b) if both have Moon in Taurus or (c) if the
bride has Moon in Aries and the bridegroom in Taurus. You should not match a girl having
Moon in Taurus in Karthikai star with a boy born in Karthikai star but having Moon in Aries.
A few Exceptions:
If the star of the girl or the boy is either Mrigaseersha or Makam or Uthiram or Hastham or
Swathi or Anuradha or Uthrashada or Uthirattadhi, one need not see dasaporutham at all. They
can marry even when there is no dhina porutham etc. (yet the special rule to the 7th star is to be
considered.)

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.

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

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

25
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:
1. If the Nakshatra of the bride is beyond the 14 th from that of the groom, the evil
influences may be nullified and that it is all right to wed.
2. If the sign, in which Moon was at the time of birth of the couple, happens to be the
same or if the lords of the different signs, in which Moon was at the time of their
birth, happen to be friends or if they are in Sama-Sapthama, then even if there is no
Ganam, it can be matched.

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.

26

yenbeeyes

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.

7. 3. Mahendra:

Rule: The Nakshatra of the boy counted from that of the girl should be the 4 th, 7th, 10th,
13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th.
According to Prasna Marga, if the girl is born in the 4 th 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.
All poruthams do not indicate the same result; I.e., happy life with wife; harmony between
them; prosperity; progeny, etc. Each porutham shows a particular result.
By Dina porutham, one can understand that the couple, having this agreement, can
maintain good health and live together for a long period. But, by Mahendra porutham, it is
to be presumed that the couple, having this agreement, will have many children. Suppose
the husband's star is the 7th from that of the wife, then she may bring forth children and
either of them may die very early.
Mahendra Porutham may give children and the lack of Dina porutham indicates short life to
either or both.
If there is Dina porutham and no Mahendra Porutham, then they will live long and the
family will not be big. If Dina porutham is absent and there is Mahendra Porutham, in the
short period of married life, maximum number of children will be born. If both agreements
are absent, neither will they have long span of married life, nor will they have children.

27

yenbeeyes

NB: Even though, there may be Mahendra Porutham (7th, 16th and 25th stars) it should be
read along with the special rules and information given by the sage Kasyapa. If Kasyapa
Maharishi has not approved any group (7th star) never match it. Once for all, reject outright:
e.g. he had said that if girls born in Sravanam marry persons born in Asvini, the 7 th star,
they cannot have harmony and will get separated. So, a girl born in Sravanam, by marrying
a boy born in Aswini, saying that there is Mahendra Porutham, will get separated after
having a child or two.
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 8 th from that of the girl. Hence
this alliance can be accepted.

7.4. Stree Deergha:


This agreement between the couple denotes satisfactory increase in their bank position after they
get married.

There are conflicting rules under this agreement.

Rule: Boy’s star should preferably be beyond 7 th 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.

7.5. Yoni:
This shows that the husband and the wife will have good understanding and harmony.
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.

Male Female Animal


Aswini Satabhisha Horse
Bharani Revathi Elephant
Pushya Krittika Sheep or Goat
Rohini Mrigasirsha Serpent
Moola Ardra Dog
Aslesha Punarvasu Cat
Makha Purvaphalguni Rat
Uttaraphalguni Uttarabhadrapada Cow
Swathi Hasta Buffalo
Visakha Chitra Tiger
Jyeshta Anuradha Deer
Purvashada Sravana Monkey
Purvabhadrapada Dhanishta Lion
Uttarashada Mongoose

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

30
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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
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.

31
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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.
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.

32
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Cat and serpent are traditionally averse.


According to KSK:
1. Monkey and goat I.e., Pooradam or Sravana girl or boy marrying Pushyam or Karthikai
boy. A girl born in Pooradam has Dina Porutham with Karthikai and the 1st, 2nd and 4th
padas of Pushyam. A girl born in Sravanam has good Dina Porutham with Karthikai. But
Pushyam star is in Cancer. There is 'Sama Sapthamam'. As is said that Saturn and the
Luminaries, Sun and Moon do not agree, the 'Sama Sapthamam' is not approved. Hence
Sravanam and Pushyam cannot be matched. Thus Dina Porutham indicates health and
longevity, while yoni shows satisfaction and prosperity. HENCE PEOPLE HAVING
INIMICAL YONIS WILL BE DISSATISFIED.
2. Goat and elephant have no concord.
3. Horse and buffalo are inimical.
4. Cow and tiger disagree.
5. Rats and cats need no explanation.
6. Snakes and rat are also evil.
7. Deer and dog cannot be dear friends.
If we are to take the Eunuch class also into account then the following table will illustrate
the compatibility:
Girl’s Star Boy’s Star Effect
Male Male Bad
Female Male Good
Eunuch Male Good
Female Female Moderate
Male Female Bad
Eunuch Female Very Bad
Male Eunuch Unacceptable
Female Eunuch Moderate
Eunuch Eunuch Very bad

The number of units of Yoni Kuta is 4.

33
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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.

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.

Therefore one has to mention that this porutham is absent, even though other agreements may be
encouraging. As it is said that marriages can be celebrated if there are more than 5 agreements
out of the 10, even if this is absent, one can proceed. It is advisable to enlighten the couple, so
that they can try to adjust themselves.
Now let us look at the rules of Rasi Yoni
Rule:

34
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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 Animal Bird Human
Reptile Good Bad Bad Bad
Animal Bad Good Bad Ordinary
Bird Bad Bad Good Bad
Human Bad Ordinary Bad Good

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.

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 6 th 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 12 th from that of the boy. According to Dr.
B.V. Raman, if the rasi of the boy falls in the 12 th 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 Moon sign-Rasi of the husband is the 2nd counted from the sign of the bride, long span of
married life is not assured.
If the rasi of the boy is the 3rd from the girl’s there will be misery and sorrow. Due to ill-
health, lack of understanding etc., they will feel sorry for having been matched together.
But if the rasi of the girl is the 3rd from that of the boy, there will be happiness.

36

If the rasi of the boy is the 4 th from that of the girl’s, there will be great poverty; even the
possessions prior to marrigae may be squandered and they will lead a miserable life; but if
the rasi of the girl happens to fall in the 4 th from the boy there will be great wealth. 4 th and
10th 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. The husband
is not assured of long life. She may have the most undesirable event in her young age.
There is an exception: If the girl is born with Moon in Aries or Cancer and that of the boy is
the 5th therefrom, the above evil result will be warded off. They can be matched. 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; Astrologers call
this as 'Shashta Ashtama'. Normal predictions given under such a situation is – The couples
will always have difference of opinion; They will always be quarrelling; Their married life will
be unpleasant and so on. It is not correct. The sages have said that such a Shashta-
Ashtama position indicates short life to one or the birth of a few children; it is certain if they
have Saturn, Rahu or Ketu in the Lagna or the 5th house.
Further there is exception for Shashta-Ashtama. The 12 signs are divided into two groups;
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius – these are called Oja Rasis or odd signs
or masculine or positive ones. The other six signs are the 2 nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th;
these are termed as 'Yugma' rasis or even signs or Feminine or Nagative ones.
It is declared that girls born in Oja Rasi or in the signs Aries, Gemini etc., have no Shashta-
Ashtama Dosha. Further if the lords of the sign in which Moon was in bride's horoscope is
either Taurus or Scorpio, then the 6th house to them are Libra and Aries. As the lords of
Taurus and Libra as well as Scorpio and Aries happen to be the same, there can be no
Shashta-Ashtama Dosha.
Further, it is mentioned that if the boy's Moon sign falls in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio,
Capricorn and PIsces and if it is second to that of the bride, the evil results will be warded
off. They can be matched and they will have long life.
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 7 th 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.

37

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

Points House Combination Result


7 5:9 Good
5 3:11 Ordinary
3 4:10 Moderate, Hidden respect for each other
3 1:7 Moderate, but one tries to dominate other
1 2:12 Tolerable
0 6:8 Disputes
3 In one sign up to 15° Treat as 4:10
1 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 2 nd 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.

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 7 th 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

38
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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 6 th
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 3 rd 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.

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
General well being and compatibility is indicated. Check the nakshatra match. If
1
the nakshatra are different, it is excellent and in the case of marriage, sons and

39
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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
Fairly compatible; short term relationship; destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless
the Subhapati are mutually friendly; separation or quarrel - if the Subhapati are
6
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.
Diseases (Madhavacharya); destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless the Subhapati
are mutually friendly; separation, quarrel or death and if the Subhapati are mutual
8 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).
No compatibility and no growth; in case of a marriage, loss of children is indicated
9
(Madhavacharya);
Quarrels and misunderstanding (Madhavacharya); marriage maybe considered if
10 the Subhapati are friendly (Brihaspati) and will last, but there will be many
quarrels.
11 Sorrow is indicated (Madhavacharya).
No compatibility and many problems; especially financial losses (Madhavacharya)
12
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.

40
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

4. As per the final rule we note that the female rasi is the 10 th from that of the male.
The indications as per the table are: Quarrels and misunderstanding
(Madhavacharya); marriage maybe considered if the Subhapati are friendly
(Brihaspati) and will last, but there will be many quarrels.
So the final conclusion is that there is a Rasi agreement between the boy and the chart
and that it can be considered as moderate only.

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. It also indicates whether one will have fortunate children.

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

41
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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.

Planet Friend Neutral Enemy


Sun Moon, Mars, Mercury Venus, Saturn
Jupiter
Moon Sun, Mercury Mars, Jupiter,
Venus, Saturn
Mars Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn Mercury
Jupiter
Mercury Sun, Venus Mars, Jupiter, Moon
Saturn
Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Saturn Mercury, Venus
Venus Mercury, Saturn Mars, Jupiter Sun, Moon
Saturn Mercury, Venus Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars
Rahu Sun, Venus Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Mercury
Saturn
Ketu Moon, Mars Mercury, Venus, Sun, Jupiter
Saturn

The above table is given according to Kalaprakasika, Kala Vidhana, Brihat Jataka and the views
of Satyachariar. Only in respect of Merury, there is a slight change. For Mercury Saturn is a
friend; Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are neutral and Moon is enemy.

Rule:
1. When both lords are friends or both the lords are the same – 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.

42
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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
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.

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

44
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.

45

7.9. Rajju:
Generally astrologers give much importance to Rajju, because if there is no agreement according
to this method of judgement, they say that the partner will be short lived and she may have to
survive the husband which no lady will like.

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:

Rajju Nakshatras
Pada (Foot) Aswini Aslesha Makha Jyeshta Moola Revathi
Ooru (Thigh) Bharani Pushya Purvaphalguni Anuradha Purvashada Uttarabhadrapada
Nabhi (Naval) Krittika Punarvasu Uttaraphalguni Visakha Uttarashada Purvabhadrapada
Kanta (Neck) Rohini Ardra Hasta Swathi Sravana Satabhisha
Siro (Head) Mrigasirsha Chitra Dhanishta

46
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Look at the order – First 5 steps forward and then backward 4 steps beginning from the last
but one and again going forward by 5 steps and the 5 th one placed in the previous group
and again backward as earlier and again forward and so on.

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.

Rajju Ascending Descending


Aswini Aslesha
Pada Makha Jyeshta
Moola Revathi
Bharani Pushya
Kati Purvaphalguni Anuradha
Purvashada Uttarashada
Krittika Punarvasu
Nabhi Uttaraphalguni Visakha
Uttarashada Purvabhadrapada
Rohini Aridra
Kanta Hastha Swathi
Sravana Satabhisha
Mrigasirsha
Siro Chitra
Dhanishta

Therefore, the 1st, 10th and 19th stars belong to Aroha and the 9th , 18th and 27th stars to Avaroha
of 'foot'.

47
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Stars 2, 11 and 20 belong to Aroha and 8, 17 and 26 to Avaroha of Thigh.


Stars 3, 12 and 21 belong to Aroha and 7, 16 and 25 belong to Avaroha of Navel.
Stars 4, 13 and 22 belong to Aroha and 6, 15 and 24 belong to Avaroha of neck.
Stars 5, 14 and 23 belong to Siro Rajju.
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.
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.

1st Group 2nd Group 3rd Group


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

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

48
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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.

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.

At the cost of repetition, let me summarise the rules:


1. If both the bride's star and the bridegroom's star belong to the same group, it is said that
they do not agree. For example, if the girl is born in Rohini, neck Rajju and the boy is
born in Hastham or Sravanam which also belongs to the same Aroha nech Rajju, then one
should not predict that they concord. According to this rule, they should not be matched.
But if the stars of the bride and bridegroom belong to different groups, I.e. if the Rajjus
are different, e.g. one neck and the other nabhi etc., they agree satisfactorily according to
this rule. This is considered as very good.
2. If the stars of both the bride and the bridegroom belong to Arohana in different groups, it
is excellent.
3. Even though they may belong to different groups and one is Arohana and the other is
Avarohana, the agreement is fair.
4. If the stars of the couple belong to different groups but both are in Avarohana, it is not
satisfactory.
5. Even if they belong to the same Rajju, if one's star is in Arohana and the other in
Avarohana, they may be matched. It is classified as fair.

49
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

If the couple are destined to marry and the stars belong to the same pada (foot) Rajju, what
would be the evil result? Does it threaten short life to the husband? No. But the husband will be
evr touring and thereby there will be temporary separation.
If they belong to Thigh Rajju, it shows that there will be financial loss. But in practice it is not
so. Therefore, as long as this Rajju does not indicate danger to life, one need not discard a
horoscope on this score.
For Nabhi Rajju results mentioned by our sages are that there may be danger to children and a
few may pass away. This also has proved to be wrong in many horoscopes.
The only Rajju one has to necessarily scrutinise the charts of the couple for longevity etc. Is Siro
Rajju.
Special Rule:
If the couple had Moon at the time of their birth in the signs ruled by planets which are friendly
or if the Moon signs of the couple were to be in Sama Sapthama or if they are born with Moon in
the same sign, then such a position wards off the evil results indicated by Rajju porutham. When
we apply this special rule, we will find that the trine stars are mostly in the house ruled by bosom
friends and the trine stars are said to be in the same Rajju. Here also confusion will arise in the
minds of the students.
For example, you take a girl born in Aswini and a boy in Makham. It is said that, if the boy or
girl is born in Makham, then dasa porutham need not be considered. But if you consider Rajju
porutham-where it is said that Rajju porutham is very important-you find that they belong to the
same Rajju. When you apply the other special rule, you will find that one belongs to Leo which
are ruled by Mars and Sun who are friends. So according to this rule, there can be no evil due to
Rajju. Similarly when we apply to each star, we will find that the trine stars are mostly in the
friends quarters except the following:
Karthikai's first pada in Aries will not agree with Uthrapalguni, 2nd, 3rd and 4th padas and
similarly, Uthrashada 2nd, 3rd and 4th padas as they are in enemy's camp.
Karthikai 2nd, 3rd and 4th padas do not agree with Uthrapalguni and Uthrashada first pada as the
signs are ruled by the enemy, Sun or Jupiter.

50

yenbeeyes

Punarvasu 1st, 2nd and 3rd padas are in Mercury's sign Gemini; Visakam 4th pada and
Poorvapathrapada 4th pada are in Mars sign scorpio and Jupiter's sign Pisces respectively, which
alone do not come under this special rule, and so we have to say that they do not agree.

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:

Vata Pitta Sleshma


Aswini Bharani Krittika
Ardra Mrigasirsha Rohini
Punarvasu Pushya Aslesha
Uttara Phalguni Purva Phalguni Makha
Hasta Chitra Swathi
Jyeshta Anuradha Visakha
Moola Purvashada Uttarashada
Satabhisha Dhanishta Sravana
Purvabhadrapada Uttarabhadrapada Revathi

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.

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. Some
say that for Bharani star native does not agree with Pushyam star born.
For Poorvaphalguni there is no vedhai. This agreement indicates that if the above group of
couple get married they cannot pull on peacefully. There will be repulsion and hence they
will always disagree and their married life will not be harmonious. It cannot give pleasure to
them.

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

55

yenbeeyes

Kanta – The result is widowhood.


Kati – poverty results.
Pada – distant travels.
Siro – death will ensure
Kukshi – Loss of children.

Type of Vedha Nakshatras covered Hurt or Pierce


Pada Aswini, Jyeshta, Aslesha, Moola, Makha, Revathi feet
Kati (Ooru) Bharani, Anuradha, Pushya, Purvashada, Purvaphalguni, Uttarabhadrapada hips or thighs
Nabhi (Kukshi) Krittika, Visakha, Punarvasu, Uttarashada, Uttaraphalguni, Purvabhadrapada stomach
Kanta Rohini, Swathi, Ardra, Sravana, Hasta, Satabhisha neck
Siro Mrigasirsha, Chitra, Dhanishta head

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, Kukshi-
Vedha this would bring about destruction of children. Hence the stars of the two ought not

56
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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
Vaishya Krittika, Aslesha, Swathi, Uttarashada, Revathi
Sudra Rohini, Makha, Visakha and Sravana
Anuloma Mrigasirsha, Purvaphalguni, Anuradha, Dhanishta
Pratiloma Ardra, Uttaraphalguni, Jyeshta, Satabhisha

57

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:

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 self-
expression 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.

58
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

(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.

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

59
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

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.

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:

Gotra Nakshatra 1 Nakshatra 1 Nakshatra 1 Nakshatra 1


Marichi Aswini Pushya Swathi Abhijit
Vashishta Bharani Aslesha Visakha Sravana
Angirasa Krittika Makha Anuradha Dhanishta
Atri Rohini Purva Phalguni Jyeshta Satabhisha
Pulastya Mrigasirsha Uttara Phalguni Moola Purvabhadrapada
Pulaha Ardra Hasta Purvashada Uttarabhadrapada
Kretu Punarvasu Chitra Uttarashada Revathi

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

61
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.

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.

22 Sravana Peacock Vulture
23 Dhanishta Peacock Vulture
24 Satabhisha Peacock Vulture
25 Purvabhadrapada Peacock Vulture
26 Uttarabhadrapada Peacock Vulture
27 Revathi Peacock Vulture

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:

Aswini, Bharani, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Uttaraphalguni, Swathi, Visakha,


Male
Jyeshta, Moola, Purvashada, Sravana, Purvabhadrapada and Uttarabhadrapada.
Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasirsha, Ardra, Punarvasu, Purvaphalguni, Hasta, Chitra,
Female
Anuradha, Uttarashada, Dhanishta, Satabhisha and Revathi.

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

Aswini, Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Anuradha, Sravana, Purvabhadrapada


Male
and Uttarabhadrapada.
Bharani, Krittika, Ardra, Aslesha, Makha, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Chitra,
Female
Swathi, Visakha, Jyeshta, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Dhanishta and Revathi.
Eunuch Mrigasirsha, Moola and Satabhisha.

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

8.4. Bhuta:

There are two kinds under this agreement – Nakshatra Bhuta and Rasi Bhuta

Nakshatra Bhuta: The 27 Nakshatras have been classified into Pancha Bhuta or five
elements namely – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether as below:

Element Nakshatra
Earth Aswini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasirsha
Water Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Purvaphalguni
Fire Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swathi, Visakha
Air Anuradha, Jyeshta, Moola, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Sravana
Ether Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada, Revathi

Rule:
Nakshatra of couple Result
Same Bhuta Good
Air Fire Good
Earthy Any other Bhuta Good
Water Fire Bad
Ether Any other Bhuta Passable

In Sarvasiddhi it is stated that Bhutas are to be classified as above only. Same Bhuta is
auspicious. Only watery and fiery Bhutas are not to be accepted. All others are passable.

Rasi Bhuta:
Bhuta Lord Rasis covered
Earth Mercury Gemini, Virgo
Water Venus, Moon Taurus, Cancer, Libra
Fire Mars, Sun Aries, Leo, Scorpio
Air Saturn Capricorn, Aquarius
Ether Jupiter Sagittarius, Pisces

67
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,Moon and Lagna. 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 2 nd 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

68
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

sample chart. 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 5 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 5-
Expense.
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

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.

1st Varga 2nd Varga 3rd Varga

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 2 nd 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

72
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

d. Anuradha – Dhanishta
e. Dhanishta – Bharani
f. Satabhisha – Krittika
9. The following pairs of couple are found to be a happy one:
a. Purvaphalguni and Anuradha
b. Chitra and Pushya
c. Punarvasu and Hasta
10. 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. Revathi and Ardra or Jyeshta and Uttaraphalguni – Bitterness
g. Visakha and Makha – Wicked sons
h. Visakha and Sravana – Enmity between couple
i. Aswini and Sravana – Separation
j. Uttarabhadrapada and Mrigasirsha – Loss of spouse
k. Uttarashada and Revathi – Enjoyment
l. Purvashada and Uttarabhadrapada – Prosperity
m. Bharani and Pushya - Affluence

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.

74
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

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.

The following table lists out the Nakshatras coming under the three categories stated above.

Acceptable Ordinary To be avoided


Rohini Aswini Bharani
Ardra Krittika Aslesha
Makha Mrigasirsha Swati
Hasta Punarvasu Jyeshta
Vishakha Pushya Moola
Sravana Purvaphalguni Dhanishta
Uttrabhadrapada Uttaraphalguni Shatabhisha
Revathi Chitra Purvabhadrapada
Anuradha
Purvashada
Uttarashada

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 Krittika, Mrigasirsha, Punarvasu, Uttaraphalguni, Chitra, Visakha,
Uttarashada, Dhanishta, Purvabhadrapada cover two signs. Of these Visakha is the
only Nakshatra which fall under acceptable category. The two Nakshatras that fall
under to be rejected category are Dhanishta and Purvabhadrapada. Rest all are
under ordinary column. The following table illustrates such Nakshatras.

Nakshatra Pada Rasi Pada Rasi


Bride’s Pada should relate to preceding sign
Krittika 1 Aries 2, 3, 4 Taurus
Punarvasu 1, 2, 3 Gemini 4 Cancer

Visakha 1, 2, 3 Libra 4 Scorpio
Uttarashada 1 Sagittarius 2, 3, 4 Capricorn
Purvabhadrapada 1, 2, 3 Aquarius 4 Pisces
First Two quarters should be of bridegroom
Mrigasirsha 1, 2 Taurus 3, 4 Gemini
Chitra 1, 2 Virgo 3, 4 Libra
Dhanishta 1, 2 Capricorn 3, 4 Aquarius

The couple should not have the same Janma Rasi, same Janma Nakshatra and pada.
However, in regard to Aswini, Krittika, Mrigasirsha, Makha, Hasta, Swat, Purvashada,
Satabhisha, the evil given rise to by virtue of common Janma rasi, Nakshatra and Pada gets
cancelled if the couple are born in the first quarter.

Prasna Marga – Chapter XXI – Stanza 15


If the birth nakshatras of the boy and the girl happen to be the same, marriage is
permissible provided it is not Jyeshta, Moola, Purvashada, Pushyami, Aslesha, Makha,
Hasta, Rohini, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Aridra or Bharani.

Notes: While comparing this list we find that Swati and Purvabhadrapada are not
mentioned here which are to be avoided.

Purvashada and Pushyami are considered as ordinary in the first given list.

The rest of the Nakshatras mentioned here viz. Makha, Hasta, Rohini and Ardra are
considered good by us initially.

The first given table is taken from Kalaprakasika

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 Vishakha 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. Vishakha – 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.

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.

As some of the Kutas are partly acceptable subject to various conditions, we will have a
column OK which means the agreement is Ordinary or passable. When there is no
agreement in respect of a Kuta we will reject it. We name it as bad – meaning that the said
agreement is totally not acceptable.

Example Chart 1:
Table of Data:
Boy Girl
Nakshatra Purvabhadrapada Ardra
Pada 3 3
Rasi Aquarius Gemini
Rasi Lord Saturn Mercury
Friend Mercury & Venus Sun & Venus
Neutral Jupiter Mars, Jupiter & Saturn
Enemy Sun, Moon & Mars Moon

Vedha Uttaraphalguni Sravana
Nadi Vata Vata
Nadi - Nakshatra Pada Sleshma (Kapha) Pitta
Varna - Nakshatra Pratiloma Brahmin
Varna - Rasi Sudra Sudra

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 20 th. 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: 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 20 th 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.(Here the rule as stated by Sanjay Rath not considered)
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

82
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

yenbeeyes

Nadi Kuta as per Nakshatra Pada is present. Hence the points 8 can be given to this
Kuta.
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

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 7 th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th
or 12th from the radical Moon of the bride can be considered for marriage. Brihaspati

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.

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 29. Even if we remove the points given to Rasyadhipa as the
agreement is only ordinary, still the point will be 24 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

match the charts when there is a love between the boy and the girl as Chittanukulya is
above all. 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.

Example Chart 3: This is also a case of love marriage


Table of Data:

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 1 st column. Hence Rajju kuta is present.

89

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 1 st 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.

Example Chart 4:

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.

Kuta 1 2 3 4 5
Rasi Very Good Good 7 7 7
Rasyadhipa Very Good Good 5 5 5
Vasya Very Low Bad 2 2 2
Mahendra Very Low Bad
Gana Very Low Ordinary 1 1 0
Yoni Very Low Ordinary 3 2 1.5
Dina Very Good Good 2 3 3
Stree Deergha Very Low Bad
Rajju Very Good Good
Vedha Very Good Good
Varna 1 1 1
Nadi 8 8 8
Final result/Total Points Average Good 29 29 27.5

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.

93
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.

The total points come to 20. If we remove the points of the matches pertaining to
Rasyadhipa it is only 15. In spite of this the marriage was performed. Both the couples are
not separated. 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.

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.

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 2 nd, 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

104
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

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.

105
Marriage Compatibility through Matching of Horoscopes

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 1 st 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.

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
yenbeeyes@gmail.com. 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.
