Can marriage be successful if horoscope don't match?

The biggest obstacle on the way to most Indian Marriages is - the Kundli Matching. Today marriages rely completely on Kundli match. People who have never taken the assistance of an astrologer throughout their life do go to them for Kundli match. With the help of Kundli match an astrologer is able to describe the partners about their compatibility and problems that can arise in their life later on.

What is Kundli?

The kundli is charted on the basis of the position of planets at the time of birth. Astrologers interpret the Kundli on the basis of placement and combination of planets therein. As the possibility of possessing a house, education, job, health etc. are assessed from different houses/planets of the horoscope; similarly the marital happiness one is destined to derive is also indicated in the birth chart itself. So if one is married to 'x' or 'y' the total possible happiness of married life should not change

Time has changed a lot

The Kundli matching did have some practical value in the era when it was not possible for the candidates to know each other before marriage. In the present era of dating and pre-marriage meetings, the prospective spouse has clearly better opportunities to understand the nature of each other.

Now the time has changed and the expectations of spouses are changed drastically. It is not at all advisable to use the outdated method of Ashta-kuta to assess compatibility of the prospective couples in the present era. Without understanding the essence of Mangal in the life of todays professionally qualified girls, the astrologers come out with Mangalik Dosha etc. In fact, Mangal is energy and intelligence.

In those days when the 'submissiveness' of wife was most desired quality, Mangal placed in certain houses of the girl's horoscope was considered bad. The method was drafted to ascertain the dominance of Male in the relationship.

But now, the girls are doing exceptionally well on all fronts; be it education or occupation. For such girls it is natural that she should have a prominent Mangal in her chart. Without the help of Mangal, she cannot be able attain all the achievements. For such girls, it would be natural to have slightly high sense of self-esteem. The expectations of today's husbands are also different than the traditional.

They have learned the art of accommodating earning wife's domination. The males know that she is not just a housewife, now. She is his partner. However, unfortunately the astrologers are still going ahead with their century old methods.

In today's society, it would be better if a would be couple go in for medical check up to see that there is no danger of unfavorable the RH factor, AIDS etc. rather than going in for Kundli Matching.

Also,It would not be wise to go in for Kundli Matching when you are involved in a relationship for a considerable time. If something negative comes out during such matching; it would create a doubt for the whole life. I personally believe that the 'Kundli Matching' is a futile exercise.

Yes, I am astrologer and even though, I believe this strongly. This is because, I have understood the concept of Kundli Matching astrology and I don't entertain astrology at the cost of my commonsense.

I strongly feel that rejecting an otherwise very good boy or a girl because of low score on astrological compatibility is just too much. The saying 'Known devil is better than an unknown angel' has a lot to say here.
