FUNDAMENTALS OF MATCHING HOROSCOPES.
1. There is an old proverb “Marriages are made in heaven”. This means that marriage has a divine approval and blessings. Male and female are two sides of nature. Marriage confers on both the partners Dharma [Right Conduct], Artha [Financial stability], Kama [ Sex Reaction], and Moksha [ Final emancipation]. Ancient Indians therefore called wife as a housewife, to take care of household Chores, a Minister to give advise, whenever required, a friend in need, and a servant to see the comforts of the Husband. She stands by him at the time of crisis.
2. Marriage is not an invitation for a brute sense- gratification nor a civil agreement between the partners, but it is a union of two families, and a social interest. Future generations depend on the Marriage with a correct match.
3. Sexual aspect has a bearing on the psychological and emotional development, and no normal person can escape from its clutches, which is the stepping stone for mutual affection. .
4. Marriage has religious, moral, social and scientific basis. People belonging to the same gotra are not preferred because it affects the offspring.
5. The role of an Astrologer who is knowledgeable and experienced is quite important who has a greater responsibility and more taxing than that of parents and other relatives because of the fact that the parents entirely rely on the strength of the verdict of the Astrologer and agree for the alliance.
6. Here is a piece of advice for the parents of the boys and the girls. It is the duty of the parents to consult an experienced Astrologer and not any Tom, Dick, and Harry who pose as Astrologers as the marriages recommended by them may end in fiasco and failure. This has been observed in several cases brought to my knowledge.
7. There is another case where the parents had given wrong information, and the marriage had failed, bringing doom to the boys and girls, and finally to the parents. This is the case with parents whose ward is not getting suitable match due to harmful Nakshatras of their Girls, and the age of their ward is going beyond marriageable age and not knowing what is to be done to get their Daughters married by hook or crook by manipulating the Horoscope which may not be that of their ward.
8. Then what is to be done by the Astrologer in that case? An Experienced Astrologer can find out the truth by seeing the Horoscope about the uncertainty of the date of birth or other related details.
9. Horoscope matching is not ony a difficult task for an Astrologer but also an important and onerous one. Because the entire married life of the Couple depends on the strength of the Astrologer’s verdict who agree for the alliance.
