Horoscope Matching

After a long time, I am back at writing my astrology blog. Today, I am going to focus on the aspect of Horoscope matching. Most of the Indian's heard about it and might have gone to an astrologer to see the " Points on a horoscope matching table" to see whether their and their prospective spouse's horoscopes are in agreement. Once the Pandit says it is more than 25, they will say, yay..I found the perfect soul-mate. Even though most of the marriages have greater than the required points, not all of the marriages are between soul mates.

So is Vedic astrology true or not? This made me do my own research on horoscope matching. After going through 100s(if not thousands) of horoscopes, I came across a few key similarities in the horoscopes of couples, who looks to be happily married (one could debate that, but for now I am going to conclude that they are happy). First of all, the "Kuta" or points system is solely based on the position of Moon in a horoscope. There are 8 more planets considered in Vedic Astrology and deciding the match between two people solely on the position of Moon did not sound right to me. On detailed analysis of various horoscopes, I came to the following conclusion.

To be a perfect match, complementary planets should be in mutually compatible positions in couples horoscopes. For eg: Sun indicates King or the main male planet and Moon indicates Queen or main female planet. I found horoscopes where Husband's Sun and Wife's Moon are in compatible positions, there exists a harmony and respect in their relationship. In the horoscopes where these were in unfavorable positions, there existed a lack of harmony or a " dharmic" relationship between the couples. The ideal position was the one where the Husband's Sun and the Wife's Moon are in the same zodiac sign. The next best was the one, where the Sun and Moon are in the 7th from each other. The most unfavorable ones are where, these are either situated in the signs of inimical planets and/or in 6/8 position from each other. A strong Sun indicates more manly qualities in a person and a strong moon indicates womanly qualities in a person. Based on my study, the best compatible sun-moon positions are given below.
