Should kundli matching be done or not, know some special points
Our Indian culture and traditions are such that before accepting any marriage proposal, people eagerly match the kundlis of both individuals. This tradition is not only ancient, but nowadays even educated families of the new generation strongly emphasize kundli matching. Vedic astrology tries to identify those planetary positions in a person’s kundli that may create obstacles or difficulties in their married life. If people identify and resolve post-marriage problems in advance, nothing can be better than this.
For the past few decades, love marriages have been rapidly increasing in India. In love marriages, the most likely possibility is that many of the qualities present in the birth charts of the couple may not match.
Which qualities are required for kundli matching?
When it comes to kundli matching, the Ashtakoota Guna Milan method is very popular. This method helps determine how the couple’s married life will be after marriage. In Ashtakoota kundli matching, astrologers examine eight kootas (factors), which is why it is called Ashtakoota Guna Milan. Each koota has its own points, making a total of 36 points. This type of marital analysis includes the following eight qualities.
The eight kootas are: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi
It is also important to note that each quality represents a specific characteristic that is essential for the individual. You can learn more here about the significance of each quality in kundli matching.
What can happen if the qualities do not match?
For approval of any marriage, at least 18 out of 36 points must match. If the score is less than 18, people do not consider it an ideal marriage. In such cases, families often reject the marriage, as the following difficulties may increase in married life:
- Losses in business and finances.
- Health-related problems for both partners.
- Continuous fights and arguments in married life.
- Lack of child happiness, even if both are healthy.
- Problems in the career growth of both partners.
However, people may still consider the match favorable based on other factors. For example, marriage may be allowed in the following cases:
- If Venus is strong in both kundlis, it indicates good prospects for a love marriage.
- If there is no Manglik Dosha in both kundlis, or if it becomes ineffective.
- If the seventh house of marriage in the lagna chart and the Navamsha chart is strong.
- What remedies should be done if the kundlis do not match?
In cases where the qualities do not match, one should consult a good astrologer to analyze both kundlis properly. If the kundli shows any dosha, the concerned person should perform specific pujas (rituals) for these doshas before marriage. These rituals can neutralize the harmful effects of the planets caused by such doshas. This, in turn, helps the couple lead a happy married life. An expert should perform such pujas. Venus, the significator of marriage and marital life, can help remove negativity.
If the seventh house of marriage is weak, a knowledgeable astrologer may suggest remedies such as Ark Vivah or Kumbh Vivah before marriage. Additionally, if the seventh house in the birth chart is afflicted and weak (with dosha), the person should perform a dosha-shanti puja before marriage to reduce its harmful effects. One should get this puja performed by a learned Brahmin before proceeding with marriage.
Finally, an important point is that if people marry despite kundlis not matching, it can become a curse for many. Only a few people experience marriage as a blessing even when kundlis do not match. Therefore, before moving forward with marriage, get your kundlis matched. If any dosha or problem appears, consult a learned astrologer for analysis based on the birth chart and get proper remedies done.
