hile commenting on the author's article " 3 simple rules of marital disharmony" 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 "Guna Milan" Milan" method and this method doesn’t give correct results all the time. There are charts where the number of points ( Gunas 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 Gunas ) that are matching are very low and there are doshas doshas like like Nadi dosh,, Gana dosh dosh 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 Ratra is a path breaking research in the field of matching of charts. The article by Sh. M.P. Pathak 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 t wo 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 Astrology 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. 2 J. R. Ratra: " A new method of Horoscope matching matching " SA Magazine Vol. 8, page 986. 3 M. P. Pathak: "Horoscope Matching " SA Magazine Vol. 2, page 221. 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 Bhavas : 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 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: Locate Jeeva of 7th of male and Sarira of 7th of female and see whether they are friends or enemies. Locate Sarira of 7th of male and Jeeva of 7 th of female and see whether they are friends or enemies. Find relation between the Jeeva of 8th house of male and Sarira of 8th house of female. Find relation between the Sarira of 12th house of male and Sarira of the 12th house of the female. Find Jeeva planets for the Darakarakas of the two charts. See how they are related.

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.
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:

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 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 Jeeva of 7th of male 'Sun' and Sarira of 7th of female 'Mercury' are friends.
Applying rule Sarira of 7th of male is 'Saturn' and Jeeva of 7th of female is 'Moon'. The two are enemies.
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 Jeeva of 8th of male 'Saturn' and Sarira of 8th of female Moon are enemies.
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 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 The two Jeevas, Saturn and Mercury are friends.

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.

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