Astrological Analysis of Marriage___________________________

By Sunita Chabra
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.Love and relationship
resulting in marriage between a man and a woman is one of themost
complicated structures. Man and woman are psychologically different but
havestrange vibrations and transmission of feelings from heart to heart,
which brings themtogether. Love brings joy in the heart and smile on the lips
and it also increases the levelof efficiency in the person. There are songs and
poems sung and written in the praise of love. There is that need to live and
stay together forever and ever. A happy marital lifewould give all round
prosperity, growth and happiness in our life. However when two people in
love tie the knot that is get married it somehow changes the chemistry or
equation of love. There is tussle between the force of attraction and force of
repulsion andif the latter is overpowering it leads to --Divorce.In this article I
would leave the legal and social nature of marriage butconcentrate on the
astrological nature of marriage and thereby show the need of MATCHMAKING
of horoscopes of the boy and the girl.Astrologically planet Venus symbolizes
love, passion and pleasures of marriage.The placement of planet Venus in the
chart in different signs shows different nature.Venus in the sign Aries ruled by
planet Mars or in the sign Scorpio ruled by planet Pluto brings fiery and
strong sexual needs. Mars is a planet of aggression and if there is aspectof
planet Saturn or Sun on Venus, which is placed in the sign Aries it could
causedisharmony and frequent friction between the married couple.
Depending upon the position of the planet Venus and Mars in the partners
chart it could even bring frequentdisputes and even extra marital
relationships. Venus in the sign Taurus and Libraincreases the sensual nature
and if this planet is not well matched with that of your partners it could
bring lack of physical gratification in marriage. Venus in the signGemini or
Virgo the person likes to have mental compatibility with the
partner.Everything in marriage is connected with the mind. The need to talk,
visualize andfantasize is strong. Mind is the center or core of activity. In
matchmaking analysis such a person needs to be matched with person of
such needs. The person looks for an intelligentand witty life partner with
strong sense of humor. Venus placed in the sign Cancer needsemotional
satisfaction. There is need for constant reassurance from your spouse.
Thespouse may have to say, I love you in words and also in gestures.
Fidelity--- is animportant requirement for sustenance of such a marriage.
Venus placed in the sign Leo inthe chart the manners and style, appearance,
family background and the way of living isvery important for such a person.
Candlelight dinners and romance is very important.Venus placed in the sign
Sagittarius or Pisces one looks for beauty, freedom and alsoadjustments from

ones partners. There can be no marital happiness if Venus is ill placedor

afflicted.In Vedic astrology another important planet, which is given great
importance inmatch making, is planet --Mars. The position of planet Mars is
so important in a chartthat many a marriages are denied on matchmaking
compatibility analysis even if other match making points are met satisfactory.

Planet Mars is position in 1st, 2

nd
, 12
th
,4
th
, 7th and 8
th
house in a horoscopechart gives rise to Manglik Dosha or Mars defect. The
position of planet Mars iscarefully studied and matched with the boys and
the girls chart. The similar position of Mars in any of these above-mentioned
houses in both the girl and the boys horoscopechart then the Mars defect
gets cancelled. That is if in the boys chart planet Mars is placed in the 7
th
house and in the girls chart planet Mars is placed in the 8
th
house thereis no Mars defect. It is commonly believed that if a person with
Manglik Dosha or Mars defect marries non-Manglik or with a person with no
Mars defect either marriage ends in a divorce or there is death of the
spouse. This is the general but a verystrong belief.Marriage is a most
complicated structure followed all over the world. When or why it started is
also not known but there must have been many psychological reasons behind
it. Marriage gives social, religious and legal acceptance to a relationship.
Throughastrological match making the effort is to make marriages more
successful and lasting.The effort is that the union of two souls should give
happiness and avoid failures.In match making compatibility ratio check the
effort is to check astrologicallywhether the boy and the girl are physically and
mentally compatibility or not. Althoughthere are no 100% guaranteed system

in this world to know or predict but this is one of the most popular method of
match making adopted in India where most of the marriagesare still arranged
by the parents or elders in the family. This system can be used byanyone
where the birth details like date of birth; time of birth and place of birth of the
boy and the girl is known. There is a total scale of 36 points divided in 8
segments of match making. Each segment has its own importance. This is to
ensure longevity of themarriage. A careful examination and match making of
the horoscope charts of the boyand the girl by compatibility ratio method,
placement of planet Venus and Manglik Dosha or Mars defect analysis a
couple can realize his/her romantic dreams and havelong and happy
marriage. A person who is happy at heart can perform better at work andhe
can probably face the problems of life with the support of the loving partner
in a better manner.CASE STUDY:Sample chart of a woman (name undisclosed)
who got married at very young age. Shehad marital problems with her in-laws
and also had major differences with her husband.She got divorce and when
she came for consultation she was thinking of remarriage.Planetary
positions:Ascendant-SagittariusSaturn- CapricornKetu-CapricornJupiter
AquariusMars-GeminiMoon-GeminiRahu-Cancer Sun-VirgoMercury-VirgoVenusLibra

Her ascendant and lord of the house of marriage are in dual sign,
whichindicates more than one marriage. She had marital problems as
according to the Vedicastrology she was Manglik or had Mars defect and
the boy she got married was notManglik or had no Mars defect. Marriage of
a Manglik person should be with aManglik person only. Planet Mars in her
marriage sector gave her lots of problems whichsubsequently led to divorce.
In her second marriage the matching compatibility ratiomethod or match
making analysis of the two horoscopes (of the boy and the girl) showsgood
results. There is a match of 22 points out of 36, which is significantly good as
for good compatibility (the minimum required 18 points should be
present).The Manglik and Nadi Dosha are also absent and Bhakut matching is
alsogood. Some adjustments will surely be required by both of them as
described below:1. No Mars defect or Manglik Dosha is present and the bad
consequences associatedwith it are ruled out.2. NADI matching shows 8
points. There is no NADI DOSHA. This indicates that thecouple will enjoy full
lives and the outward physique and the internal metabolism willstay healthy
and fit for the both of them.3. BHAKUT matching shows 7 points. This is a
positive aspect. Bhakut indicates progeny and welfare prospects of the
couple. Children will be there and they will behealthy. Children will also be a
source of pride and satisfaction for you.4. GANA matching shows 0 point. This
indicates that the boy and the girl have differenttemperaments but can
adjust with each other with some effort.5. GRAH-MAITRI matching shows 5

points. This indicates excellent matching for thetwo with respect to the
outlook and objectives in life. They are of similar intellectuallevel and share
similar feelings on spiritual matters.6. YONI matching shows 4 point. This
indicates excellent compatibility in biological and physical satisfaction for
both of you from each other.7. TARA matching shows 0 point. This hinders the
good health conditions that the twowill enjoy but this is insignificant due to
the good matching on the Manglik and Nadiaspects.8. VASHYA matching
shows 0 points. This indicates that the attraction and affection isslightly less.
But this can develop with time.9. VARNA matching shows 1 point. This
indicates similar egos and will have a respectfor each other.In the final
analysis it can be said that you can go ahead with the match, as the areas of
difference are minor and can be adjusted by mutual understanding.
