MATCHING OF HOROSCOPE

The various factors to be considered in match making in order
of importance are :-
1. Longevity of partners. 2. Mental and psychological health.
3. Factors showing separation or divorce.
4. Compatibility of partners.
The question of compatibility between partners will arise only
if first 3 factors indicate that both are going to stay together.
An approximate estimate of longevity of both the partners
should be indispensable. What is needed is to examine the
birth charts for premature death. If there is wide gap in
longevity of two, then matching of other factors become
redundant. The span of life is divided into 4 categories namely
– (i) Balarishta (ii) Alpayu (iii) Madhyayu (iv) Purnayu. The
life span between 40 to 75 years is described as Madhyayu,
where as longevity beyond 75 years is considered as Purnayu.
There are standard combinations of planets, which give idea
of longevity of a person. Purnayu is indicated if benefics occupy
kendras and Lagna lord is with benefics or aspected by
Jupiter. Also when 3 planets in 8th house occupy exaltation,
friendly and own sign respectively, long life is indicated. The
same is the result when Saturn or 8th lord is conjoined with an
exalted planet. The Lagna and Moon should be strong for
long life.
Mental and psychological health of the partner can also be
examined by position of Lagna, Moon, sixth and eighth houses.
The separation or divorce is also to be looked into by examining
in detail 7th, 8th, and 9th houses. 7th houses is the house of
marriage, 8th house rules ‘Mangalya’ i.e. strength of marital
bond and 9th house rules ‘Sowhhagya’ or good fortune. The
presence of 7th lord in 8th indicates chances of separation.

Mutual disposition of Mars and Venus plays a very important
role in marriage. Venus is associated with spouse, material
comforts, sex harmony, physical beauty etc, where as Mars
abounds in energy, aggressiveness and in association with
Venus gives a tendency to excess of sensual gratification.
Venus-Mars disposition although an important factor for
physical attraction but in the absence of Jupiter’s or even
Saturn’s benign influence, real compatibility between partners
may be lacking. Venus–Mars conjunction makes one fond of
pleasure, demonstrative and adds a zest to one’s sensual life.
Therefore after examining basic structure of horoscope of
partners, it is ensured that long married life is indicated. When
this assurance is indicated, question of compatibility of partners
comes into picture which is examined by ‘Mangali Dosha’
and ‘Gana’ agreement.
‘Mangali Dosha’ means harmful effects of Mars. Among the
malefic planets, Mars has come to enjoy such an important
role in breaking of marriages that the harmful influence of Mars
has come to be known as ‘Mangali Dosha’ and boy or girl
having defective influence of Mars in the horoscope is generally
known as ‘Mangali’ boy or ‘Mangali’ girl. Why the Mars
gets such an importance in the matter of marriage ? The
interaction of Moon and Mars causes menstruation in a woman
every month when the Moon is passing through
Apachayasthana from ascendant. The Moon controls the fluid
matter of a woman while Mars signifies the blood and
combination of two is cause of menses. The process of progeny
and pregnancy depends exclusively on menstruation cycle in
females. Mars is lord of blood system in all human beings.
Semen in males get formed through the process of blood
system. Therefore progeny is not possible without blessing of
Mars. Apart from this Mars is a fiery planet and rules warmth
in human body, energy, strength, courage, bravery, organizing
ability, feelings of brotherhood etc. Mars is also the lord of
290
skin, the outer dress of body. Influence of Mars alone can
create another body and another life. Astrologers have
determined the houses from where Mars adversely influences
and affects the 7th house, which is concerned with marriage,
the married life and relationship with spouse. If Mars is in 1st,
2nd, 4th , 7th , 8th and 12th house in a horoscope, native is said
to suffer with ‘Mangali Dosha’. The Lagna represents body,
the Moon represents the mind and Venus the sexual organs.
Therefore houses are reckoned from Lagna, Moon and Venus.
The dosha is considerably weak when it exists from Lagna, a
little stronger from the Moon and still more powerful from
Venus. ‘Mangali Dosha’ gets cancelled if it is there in
horoscope of both the bride and bridegroom. The Mars in
the 1st house indicates annoyance, anger, irritation and
disturbed state of mind of self, in the 2nd house presence of
Mars may lead to financial breakdown, loss by cheating and
violence between husband and wife. Presence of Mars in 4th
house adversely affects the domestic atmosphere and in the
7th house introduces element of fire between husband and
wife. In 8th house Mars acts as ‘Marak’ for spouse and person
is involved in extra – marital relations. In 12th house, it may
lead to wasteful expenditure, punishments, disturbance in the
sleeping comforts, venereal diseases, extramarital sex etc.
There are several combinations referred in astrological texts,
which nullify harmful effects of Mars.
There are total 36 Ganas and in the Gana agreement,
compatibility of partners is examined from various points of
view relevant to happy married life. The various aspects and
points assigned to them are :-
1. VARNA - 1
