Article by Tej K. Zadoo

While commenting on the author’s article “3 simple rules of marital disharmony”¹an astrologer friend asked the author:

“By using the rules given in your article one can see whether a person is prone to tension in his or her married life or not. If the native has combinations in his or her chart which indicate a troublesome married life the solution you have suggested is to match the charts. But the problem is that we usually use “Guna Milan” method and this method doesn’t give correct results all the time. There are charts where the number of points (Gunas) that are matching are very high but the married life is miserable or there is separation; and there are charts where number of points (Gunas) that are matching are very low and there are doshas like Nadi dosh, Gana dosh etc. but the couple is leading a very harmonious and blissful married life. What use is it then to know whether there are tension points in the persons chart or not, if there is no good method for matching the two charts.”

It is in response to this that the present article is presented. In this context the author would like to draw the attention of the readers to two very good articles on ‘matching of horoscopes’ that have already appeared in Saptarishis astrology magazine. The article by Sh. Jagdish Raj Ratra² is a path breaking research in the field of matching of charts. The article by Sh. M.P. Pathak³ is a very effective and simple method for the same. Most of the charts that are given in the example section are taken from these two articles.

In Guna Milan system the astrologer checks eight factors:

Varna;
Vashya;
Tara;
Yoni;
Graha maitri;
Gana;
Rashi Kut;
Nadi

The total points (Gunas) for all these factors are 36. If in matching of two charts a total of 18 (or more) is reached, the astrologer gives a go ahead for the marriage. However it is seen that in many cases even if the number of Gunas that are matching is very high the married life of the couple is miserable. The probable reason for the failure of the system is because the first four factors are related to Dharma Sastra and the approach to Dharma has undergone a lot of change. So these factors may not be applicable in present times.

The Meena System of Stellar Astrology⁴ or Nadi Jyothisa was developed by Late Sri. R. Gopala Krishna Row (Meena 1) and Late Sri. N. V. Raghava Chary (Meena 2) in the late thirties. Invaluable astrological principles which are not found in the classical astrological works were given, upon which one can reliably proceed in the delineation of a horoscope. In this system the authors have emphasized the use of Jeeva and Sarira for analyzing a bhava. They say that if Jeeva and Sarira of a bhava are inimically disposed towards each other, the results will not be good.

In the present article the author suggests study of Jeeva of some bhavas of male nativity and Sarira of some bhavas of the female nativity and see whether they are enemies or friends and on that basis decide whether two charts are matching or not.

First we give the method for finding the Jeeva and Sarira of a Bhava.

The Jeeva planet is the Lord of the constellation in which the lord of a Bhava is posited and the Sarira planet is the lord of the star in which the Jeeva planet is situated.

If the Jeeva planet is in a group with other planets, the powerful or stronger planet amongst the group becomes the Jeeva In other words the stronger or powerful planet snatches away the right of the other planet. This may happen in case of Sarira also.
In cases where the Bhava Lord is in his own constellation the Bhava Lord himself becomes the Jeeva The Lord of the house in which the Jeeva Lord is tenanted is the Sarira Planet.
At times the Bhava Lord is not only situated in his own constellation but also placed in his own house and in such case the Jeeva planet itself becomes the Sarira
With this background we should also remember that for marital life of a native one has to study the following Bhavas⁵: 1^st house for self, 2^nd house for Soubhagya of the spouse, 4^th house for domestic happiness, 7^th house for marriage in general and also span of married life, 8^th house for span of married life and sex ability and the 12^th house for bed pleasures. Besides this 11^th house and 10^th house also play an important role. Finally the Navamsa chart (D9) has to be given importance equal to D1 chart and we also need to study the 7^th house from natal Moon.

However to make things simpler we do not consider all these Bhavas but only some of them and postulate then as follows:

(a) Locate Jeeva of 7^th of male and Sarira of 7^th of female and see whether they are friends or enemies.

(b) Locate Sarira of 7^th of male and Jeeva of 7^th of female and see whether they are friends or enemies.

(c) Find relation between the Jeeva of 8^th house of male and Sarira of 8^th house of female.

(d) Find relation between the Sarira of 12^th house of male and Sarira of the 12^th house of the female.

(e) Find Jeeva planets for the Darakarakas of the two charts. See how they are related.

If the pairs referred above are friends then we can say that the charts are matching and if they are enemies then there will be strife in married life.

To make things simpler we allot 20 points to each of the five pairs that we are considering making a total of 100 points. We postulate that if the total points are 60 or more than 6o then there will be compatibility and if the points are less than 60 there will be no compatibility between the two partners.

Here we will remember that if the two planets ‘x’ and ‘y’ under consideration:

are friends then allot 20 points;
are enemies then allot zero points;
are neutral to each other then allot 20 points;
‘x’ is friendly to ‘y’ and ‘y’ is inimical to ‘x’ then allot 10 points;
‘x’ is friendly to ‘y’ and ‘y’ is neutral to ‘x’ then allot 20 points;
‘x’ is enemy of ‘y’ and ‘y’ is neutral to ‘x’ then allot zero points.

The table of planetary friendship is given below:

Planet	Sun	Moon	Mars	Mercury	Jupiter	Venus	Saturn	Rahu	Ketu
Friends	Moon Mars Jupiter	Jupiter Sun Mercury	Sun Moon Jupiter	Sun Venus Rahu	Sun Moon Mars	Mercury Saturn Rahu	Venus Mercury Ketu	Mercury Saturn Venus	Mercury Saturn Venus
_Enemies	Venus Saturn Rahu Ketu	Saturn Rahu Ketu	Mercury Rahu	Moon Ketu	Mercury Venus	Mars Sun Moon	Moon Sun Mars	Moon Sun Mars	Moon Sun Mars
_Neutrals	Mercury	Venus Mars	Venus Saturn Ketu	Mars Saturn Jupiter	Saturn Rahu Ketu	Jupiter Ketu	Jupiter Rahu	Jupiter	Jupiter

We will try to illustrate the rules for matching given above by some examples.

Example 1

Male: 2 Dec 1969, 11:15 Hrs 72 – E 55, 17 N 41

Asc:18Cp30 Su:16Sc27 Mo:17Le19 Ma: 26Cp38 Me:25Sc17 Ju:4Li02 Ve:3 Sc36 Sa(R):9Ar34 Ra:23Aq25 Ke:23Le25

Female: 29 Sept 1972, 12:25 Hrs – 74 E 0, 17 N 42

Asc:4Sg38 Su:12Vi45 Mo:6Ge06 Ma:5Vi27 Me:20Vi06 Ju:6Sg52 Ve:29Cu38 Sa:27Ta06 Ra:28Sg44 Ke:28Ge44

As per Gun Milan only 19 points are matching. There is Nadi dosh. But the couple has an easy life without much friction.

Now let us apply the above said rules to these charts:

In case of male, Moon is the 7^th lord, in the nakshatra of Venus, so Venus is Jeeva. But Venus is in a group where Sun is strongest so Sun is Jeeva of 7^th Bhava. Sun is on nakshatra of Saturn so Saturn is Sarira.

In case of female, Mercury is 7^th lord on nakshatra of Moon, so Moon is Jeeva of 7^th Bhava. Moon is on nakshatra of Mars, so Mars is Sarira. Again Mars is in a group where Mercury is strongest, so Mercury becomes Sarira.

Applying rule (a)

Jeeva of 7^th of male ‘Sun’ and Sarira of 7^th of female ‘Mercury’ are friends.

Applying rule (b)

Sarira of 7^th of male is ‘Saturn’ and Jeeva of 7^th of female is ‘Moon’. The two are enemies.

Now let us study 8^th houses of the two charts:

Sun is the lord of 8^th house of male. Sun is on the nakshatra of Saturn, so Saturn is Jeeva for 8^th of male.

Again Moon the lord of 8^th of female is in nakshatra of Mars so Mars is Jeeva. Again Mars is in a group where Mercury is strongest, so Mercury becomes Jeeva. Mercury is on the nakshatra of Moon so Moon is Sarira for the 8^th of female.

Applying rule (c)

Jeeva of 8^th of male ‘Saturn’ and Sarira of 8^th of female Moon are enemies.

Now study the 12th house:

In case of male Jupiter is the 12^th lord, Jupiter is in nakshatra of Mars, so Mars is Jeeva.

Mars is on its own nakshatra so Mars is the Sarira for 12^th of male.

In case of female, Mars the 12^th lord is in nakshatra of Sun, so Sun is Jeeva. Sun is in a group with swakshetri Mercury so Mercury qualifies to be the Jeeva. Mercury is on nakshatra of Moon, so Moon becomes Sarira.

Applying rule (d)

Sarira of 12^th of male ‘Mars’ and Sarira of 12^th of female ‘Moon’ are friends.

Venus is Darakaraka for male nativity. It is on the nakshatra of ‘Saturn’ so Saturn is Jeeva.

Rahu is Darakaraka for female nativity. It is on nakshatra of Sun, so Sun is Jeeva. Sun is in a group where Mercury is strongest, so Mercury is Jeeva of Darakaraka.

If we take Mars as Darakaraka for female nativity. It is also on Sun’s nakshatra, so Sun is Jeeva, which gives place to Mercury.)

Applying rule (e)

The two Jeevas, Saturn and Mercury are friends.

Now we see the points gained by two charts. (a) gives 20, (b) gives zero , (c) gives zero, (d) gives 20 and (e) gives 20. A total of 60 out of 100. We can safely say that the two charts are matching.

Example 2

Male: 14 Oct 1954, 20:51 Hrs – 72 E 50, 18 N 58

Asc: 12Ta04Su: 27Vi31Mo:01Ta54Ma: 2Cp25Me(R): 20Li43 Jup:4Ca57 Ve: 4Sc37 Sa:16Sc19 Ra: 15Sg12 Ke:15Ge12

Male janma nakshatra is Krittika and Shatbisha is of female. 31 points (Gunas) are matching as per Guna milan. But marriage took place on 21 April 1983 and divorce on 7 August 1983.

Male: 7^th lord Mars is on nakshatra of Sun, which becomes Jeeva. Sun is on nakshatra of Mars which becomes Sarira of 7^th house.

8^th lord is Jupiter which is on nakshatra of Saturn which is Jeeva of 8^th house.

12^th lord Mars is on nakshatra of Sun, which becomes Jeeva. Sun is on Mars nakshatra, which become the Sarira of 12^th house.

Moon is Darakaraka on nakshatra of Sun, so Sun is Jeeva.

Female: 7^th lord Venus is on nakshatra of Venus, which is Jeeva. Venus is on its own nakshatra, so bhava lord Sun becomes Sarira. Sun is in a group where Mercury is stronger so Mercury qualifies as the Sarira of 7^th house.

8^th lord Mercury is on nakshatra of Moon which is the Jeeva of the 8^th house.

Moon is on nakshatra of Rahu which is the Sarira.

12^th lord Venus is on nakshatra of Venus which is Jeeva. Lord of bhava i.e. Sun becomes Sarira. Sun is with stronger Mercury; hence Mercury is Sarira of 12^th house.

Saturn is Darakaraka, which is on the nakshatra of Saturn, so Saturn is Jeeva.

Now apply the rules:

(a) Jeeva of 7^th of male Sun and Mercury the Sarira of 7^th of Female. Sun and Mercury are friends. 20 points.

(b)Sarira of 7^th of male is Mars and Jeeva of 7^th of female is Venus. Mars considers

Venus as neutral, Venus considers Mars as enemy. Zero points.

(c)Saturn is Jeeva of 8^th of male and Rahu is Sarira of 8^th of female. Rahu and Saturn are friends. 20 points.

(d)Sarira of 12^th for male is Mars and for female it is Mercury, Mars considers Mercury as enemy. Zero points.

(e)Sun is Jeeva of Darakaraka of male and Saturn is Jeeva of Darakaraka of female, the two are enemies. Zero points.

Total contribution from all factors is 40 points, which is less than 60, so the charts are not matching.

Note: Charts for examples 15 to 19 have been taken from an e- article by Samir Shah: “Principles of marriage matching“.

Conclusion:

The author has suggested a simple method for matching of charts for marriage purposes. The author does not claim the method to be fool proof as is evident from the fact that out of 19 cases it is completely failing in 2 of them. As the author is not a professional astrologer, he does not have access to a large number of birth charts and has used the examples given by other authors. However, it is for the younger astrologers to study the technique and refine it so that it gives hundred percent results.
