How Successful Are Astrology-Matched Marriages

How successful these marriages are cannot be answered with a rate, because a kundli match is not a trial with a published outcome, and inventing one would be a fake census. What the method does is narrower. It compares Moon nakshatras in eight kootas out of 36, and it reads both 7th houses and both Navamshas. Many families will not proceed below 18 points, and many will stop for same nadi even above 18. Those are gates. A couple who passes a gate can still meet a 7th-lord dasha that is quarrelsome, because the 6th house was never part of Varna or Tara. A couple who fails a gate and marries anyway is not a data point against astrology if the failure was ignored. Success, if you keep the word, means the gate was actually used, not that the gate guarantees affection.

Guna milan does not see the families' temper, money, or health. The 2nd house is the family the spouse joins. The 8th is the crisis of the bond. The 5th is children, judged again in the saptamsa, and childlessness is not a koota result and not a medical prediction this page will make. Mangal dosha can be missed by a matcher who only adds points. Saturn on the 7th can delay a 'successful' match until the families think the astrology failed. The delay was in the chart and not in the score. D9 can show a weak Venus under a flattering rashi 7th. Matchers who stop at 28 points have not finished. The marriages that hold, in this way of reading, are the ones where the points were acceptable and the 7th lords were sound and the dasha of those lords was not hostile. That is a qualitative claim. It is not '80 percent.'

A marriage 'based on astrology' that used sun signs, or a phone reading, or a life path number, was not based on this method. It should not be counted for or against the kootas. A marriage that used the kootas and then hid a known nadi dosha was based on a partial reading. When people ask for success, they often want permission to skip the uncomfortable step. The uncomfortable step is the point. Same nadi, a 7th lord in the 8th, a Mangal dosha without cancellation: each can be discussed, and some communities accept remedies or exceptions. The exception should be named. After the wedding, astrology does not retire. The same 7th lord times the hard years and the good ones. A matched marriage is not insured. It is a marriage whose chart was looked at before the families pretended the sky had voted.
