Matching Of Charts:

A New approach By

Tej K. Zadoo, India Volunteer: Maurício Avila, Brazil

hile commenting on the

author's article "3 simple

rules of marital disharmony"1

an 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

W

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:

i) Varna;

ii) Vashya;

iii) Tara;

iv) Yoni;

v) Graha maitri;

vi) Gana;

vii) Rashi Kut;

viii) 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.

4 R. Gopalakrishna Row 'Meena': "Nadi Jyotisha or the Stellar System of Astrology".

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.

1. If the Jeeva planet is in a group with other planets, the powerful or stronger

planet amongst the group becomes the Jeeva planet. In other words the stronger

or powerful planet snatches away the right of the other planet. This may

happen in case of Sarira also.

2. In cases where the Bhava Lord is in his own constellation the Bhava Lord

himself becomes the Jeeva Planet. The Lord of the house in which the Jeeva

Lord is tenanted is the Sarira Planet.

3. 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 planet.

4. With this background we should also remember that for marital life of a native

one has to study the following Bhavas5: 1st house for self, 2nd house for Soubhagya

of the spouse, 4th house for domestic happiness, 7th house for marriage in general

and also span of married life, 8th house for span of married life and sex ability

and the 12th house for bed pleasures. Besides this 11th house and 10th 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 7th 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 7th of male and Sarira of 7th of female and see whether they are

friends or enemies.

(b) Locate Sarira of 7th of male and Jeeva of 7th of female and see whether they are

friends or enemies.

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

female.

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

of the female.

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

related.

____________________________ 5 P. M. Padia: "Marriage life - Divorce rules" SA Magazine Vol. 7, page 790.

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:

i) are friends then allot 20 points;

ii) are enemies then allot zero points;

iii) are neutral to each other then allot 20 points;

iv) 'x' is friendly to 'y' and 'y' is inimical to 'x' then allot 10 points;

v) 'x' is friendly to 'y' and 'y' is neutral to 'x' then allot 20 points;

vi) 'x' is enemy of 'y' and 'y' is neutral to 'x' then allot zero points.

The table of planetary friendship is given below:

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 7th 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 7th Bhava. Sun is

on nakshatra of Saturn so Saturn is Sarira.

In case of female, Mercury is 7th lord on nakshatra of Moon, so Moon is Jeeva of 7th

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 7th of male 'Sun' and Sarira of 7th of female 'Mercury' are friends.

Applying rule (b)

Sarira of 7th of male is 'Saturn' and Jeeva of 7th of female is 'Moon'. The two are

enemies.

Now let us study 8th houses of the two charts: Sun is the lord of 8th house of male. Sun is on the nakshatra of Saturn, so Saturn is

Jeeva for 8th of male.

Again Moon the lord of 8th 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 8th of female.

Applying rule (c)

Jeeva of 8th of male 'Saturn' and Sarira of 8th of female Moon are enemies.

Now study the 12th house: In case of male Jupiter is the 12th lord, Jupiter is in nakshatra of Mars, so Mars is

Jeeva.

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

In case of female, Mars the 12th 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 12th of male 'Mars' and Sarira of 12th 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

Female: 16 Oct 1956, 09:10 Hrs - 83 E 0, 25 N 20 Asc:10Sc54 Su:29Vi30 Mo:17Aq32 Ma:20Aq06 Me:12Vi22 Ju:27Le35 Ve:18Sc15 Sa:7Sc18 Ra:10sc54 Ke:1054

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: 7th lord Mars is on nakshatra of Sun, which becomes Jeeva. Sun is on

nakshatra of Mars which becomes Sarira of 7th house.

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

12th lord Mars is on nakshatra of Sun, which becomes Jeeva. Sun is on Mars

nakshatra, which become the Sarira of 12th house.

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

Female: 7th 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 7th house.

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

Moon is on nakshatra of Rahu which is the Sarira.

12th 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 12th

house.

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

Now apply the rules:

(a) Jeeva of 7th of male Sun and Mercury the Sarira of 7th of Female. Sun and

Mercury are friends. 20 points.

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

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

(c)Saturn is Jeeva of 8th of male and Rahu is Sarira of 8th of female. Rahu and Saturn

are friends. 20 points.

(d)Sarira of 12th 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.

Example 3

Male: 5 Feb 1970, 15:30 Hrs - 78 E 40, 27 N 38 Asc: 21Ge39 Su:22Cp45 Mo:10Cp10 Ma:15Pi3 Me:27Sg15 Ju:12Li12 Ve:25Cp33 Sa:9Ar35 Ra:19Aq58 Ke:19 Le58

Only 14 Gunas (points) are matching. There is Nadi, Gana, Bhakoot and Yoni dosha,

still the marriage is a success and there is excellent harmony and progress in life.

Applying the above proposed laws we have:

(a)Male: Jeeva of 7th is Rahu. Female: Sarira of 7th is Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are

friends, so 20 points.

(b)Male: Sarira of 7th is Rahu. Female: Jeeva of 7th is Jupiter. Rahu and Jupiter are

neutral to each other so 20 points.

friends so 20 points.

(e)Male: Darakaraka is Saturn, its Jeeva is Ketu. Female: Darakaraka is Mercury, its

Jeeva is Mars. Mars is with stronger Mercury so it qualifies as Jeeva of Darakaraka.

Ketu considers Mercury as friend but Mercury considers Ketu as enemy, so only 10

points.

Total is 90 points which indicates a top class matching.

Note: Charts for examples 15 to 19 have been taken from an e- article by Samir Shah:

"Principles of marriage matching".

Conclusion: he 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.
