The
decision to marry another person and bringing that person into your life is a
crucial one, which needs a good amount of consideration. This is one decision
that can change the course of the rest of your life. Now, whether your life
fares for the better or worse, depends on the level of compatibility with your
partner. Marriage either results in one leading a pleasing and contented life
or an insufferable life marked by regular quarrels and disputes, which often
lead to separation and divorce. Thus, compatibility is a very important factor
that goes into making or breaking a marriage. Vedic Astrology is a highly
reliable tool to determine compatibility between two people before they decide
to get married, by using the technique of horoscope matching.
Horoscope matching formarriage is
an age-old practice, which as the name suggests, is the practice of matching
horoscopes of two individuals before the final decision of their marriage is
taken. Matching the horoscopes helps in determining the probable level of
compatibility and understanding between the prospective couple. This, in turn,
determines whether the two individuals will form a good married pair or not.
The
process of horoscope matching for marriage involves the study of the horoscopes of the male and the female by
an astrologer. The astrologer will compare the zodiac signs, as well as the
planetary positions and alignments that are formed in the horoscope of one
person, with that of the other. Based on this, the eight aspects of
compatibility which include mental compatibility, longevity, health, wealth,
childbirth, separate tendencies and likeness are drawn and the compatibility is
calculated on a scale with a maximum value of 36.
In Vedic astrology, this
process is called Gun Milan or Kundli Milan. A compatibility score of more than
18 is a desirable one, which predicts a favorable match between the two
persons. There are certain cases when the compatibility score comes out to be
36 out of 36. This is regarded as a highly favorable situation, which shows
that the couple is highly compatible and are a perfect match for one another. A
score less than 18 is considered unfavorable and the couple is declared
incompatible. This, however, does not bring the story to an end. The astrologer
finds out the causes of incompatibility and suggests measures that can
eliminate these causes and increase the compatibility between the two persons.
Compatibility
is one of the building blocks of a healthy marital life. An incompatible couple is an unhappy couple. A
horoscope matching provides the couple with the insights as to what are the
factors that may affect the compatibility of the couple. It then relies on the
married duo to take upon the task of making their marriage a successful and
happy one.
