The next consideration in the assessment of compatibility is Bhakoot which looks at the mutual placement of two Ascendants. If the two partners have ascendants that fall 6-8, 5-9, or 2-12 to each other, the relationship suffers on various counts. 6-8 relationship, especially when it occurs between signs, like Aries and Virgo, Libra and Pisces etc. causes health related issues to both partners and their parents.
There are however some exceptions to this rule. If the two signs are ruled by the same planet, the problem gets canceled. Thus Aries-Scorpio, Taurus-Libra pairs do not suffer from 6-8 placement rule. If the lords of the two signs are friendly, then too the problem is removed. Thus Cancer-Sagittarius, Gemini-Capricorn and Leo-Pisces become acceptable.
In western astrology signs which fall 5-9 to each other like Aries and Sagittarius, Taurus and Capricorn etc. are considered very harmonious. Hindu astrology takes a dim view of this, as couples with this grouping suffer from children related problems.
In certain conditions this defect gets eliminated. If the female Ascendant is the fifth from the male, and male Ascendant is ninth from that of female, the Dosh is removed. This however does not apply to Cancer-Pisces, Cancer-Scorpio, Gemini-Aquarius and Virgo-Capricorn.
Ascendant signs falling 2-12 to each other bring about financial difficulties to the couple.
Nadi is the eighth and last parameter to measure the extent of compatibility. It refers to the three Nadi or energy channels in the human body. These are known as Adi, Madhya and Antya Nadi. For the two partners to have the same Nadi is considered unfavorable. If both partners have Adi Nadi, there is separation after marriage. A similar situation in which both have Madhya Nadi causes financial losses. Antya Nadi for both partners causes death or death like suffering for one or the partners.
amongst all the factors mentioned above, Nadi compatibility gets the highest number of eight points. If there is a mismatch in this category, the relationship or marriage should be ruled out even if there is a good matching in other areas.
In the next Blog we shall consider some exceptions to this rule.

Solar sign based compatibility – Why is it a big No in Vedic astrology? Part III
Continuation of the previous Blog. . . . .
Sex is an integral part of marriage and sexual compatibility is gauged from Yoni (loosely translated as reproductive system). Each Nakshatra has a Yoni and the Yoni of two people should not be inimical to each other. If one person has the Yoni of a cow, the other should not have a Yoni of a Tiger. Similarly elephant and lion, snake and mouse are mismatches which will cause problems in a relationship.
It is highly desirable that both people have the same Yoni. This gets them four points. If the Yoni are friendly to each other, the points obtained are three. Similar Yoni gets two points. Enemy and arch enemy Yoni get one and zero points in that order.
Grah Maitri or planetary friendship is the next parameter and refers to the friendship between the ascendant lords in two horoscopes. The two planets should be friendly to each other. Equal and enemy relationship are less desirable.
Identical or very friendly planets get five points. If one is friendly but the other is neutral, then four points are obtained. Planets equal to each other get three points. If one is friendly and the other inimical the point obtained is one. One neutral and one enemy pair gets half a point and both being enemy get zero points.
A high score is a highly desirable in this category as it reduces the vulnerability of the relationship to other problems in matching. If the Rashi lords are not friendly but the lords of their Navansh lord are friends, then too the relationship prospers.
Gana consideration is next and this refers to the natural tendency of people born in different Nakshatra. Ashwini, Mrigshira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Shravan and Revati Nakshatra are classified as Devta Gana.
Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Poorva Phalguni, Uttar Phalguni, Poorva Ashadh, Uttar Ashadh, Poorva Bhadrapad, and Uttar Bhadrapad these nine Nakshatra fall in the second category of Manushya or human Nakshatra.
Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Mool, Dhanishtha and Shatabhishaj fall in the third category of Rakshas or demons. This does not even for a moment mean that the category describes the person. It is only an indication of their spiritual aspirations.
Deva and Manushya are more spiritual, while Rakshas are more connected to material life and its enjoyment.
If two people belong to the same category, the relationship prospers. If one is Devta and the other Manushya it is still a good relationship. Devta-Rakshas or Manushya-Rakshas don’t work together and the relationship founders.
Both partners belonging to same Gana gets six points. If the male is Deva and the female belongs to Manushya category, then also the matching gets eight points. In contrast if the female chart has Deva and the male Manushya, one point gets deducted. Deva-Rakshas and Manushya-Rakshas matches get zero points.
To be continued . . . . . .

Solar sign based compatibility – Why is it a big No in Vedic astrology?
This equinoctial error or error due to our angular view of a planet is in fact left untouched in western astrology and that is why the predictions do not come true. Matching done on the basis of these shortcomings will be incorrect.
So how does it work in Hindu or Vedic astrology?
In Hindu astrology, two charts are matched on the basis of eight parameters. These are listed below along with their nearest English meaning.
Varn, which describes the type of work a person is intellectually suited for. The four Varna are Brahmin, Vaishya, Kshatriya and Shudra. These correspond to intellectual, business, administrative and service class pf professions. The order of importance attributed to these professions is exactly in the order given above. In the male chart if Varna is equal or superior to the chart of the woman, the relationship gains one point.
This is followed by Vashya which translates as control. Out of twelve signs there are some which are not human. Human signs are Gemini, Virgo, Libra, and Sagittarius, and except Leo they control all other signs.
Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces and all animal signs - Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces are controlled by Leo. Scorpio is an exception to this rule.
Human Signs consume signs like Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces. The later are therefore called Bhakshya (consumed) signs.
If two people have the same Vashya, they get two points. If one is Vashya and the other an enemy, one point is given and if one is Vashya and one is Bhakshya only half a point is obtained. If one is enemy and one Bhakshya, then no point is given.
The third parameter is Tara or constellation. The number of Nakshatra from the Nakshatra of the female partner to that of male partner is taken and divided by nine. A similar thing is done for the distance between male and female partner’s Nakshatra. If the remainder is three, five or seven, it is considered unpromising.
If both sets have unpromising remainders, no point is given. If one is favorable and the other unfavorable, one and a half points are given. If both are favorable, the relationship gains two points.

Solar sign based compatibility – Why is it a big No in Vedic astrology?
Most astrology enthusiasts have read best sellers of astrology which give a detailed account of how people will behave as a couple. These books make very interesting reading, but still do not give a comprehensive picture of the relationship between two people.
For example it does not tell us anything about whether a relationship is based on equality or whether there is one dominant partner in the equation. It also remains silent about collective destiny, work ethics, sexual life, intellectual resonance, emotional attachment and health of the couple.
When two people live together their energies interact. This interaction can be synergistic or detrimental and all this must be considered beforehand before going ahead with a relationship.
When we say relationship, we are referring to male-female relationship whether permanent or transient. It is important to note that living together for a length of time is essentially a marriage.
For any relationship to succeed, it is extremely important that spiritual, intellectual, emotional and sexual areas of two people match. The analogy of a hand and glove comes in very handy (pun intended) here. The dimensions of glove should match that of the hand. If these differ, instead of providing warmth and protection, a glove will cause discomfort and fatigue resulting in it being discarded.
What we are actually saying is that there should be lots of overlap between the two partners in terms of their personality. More the overlap the better is their relationship and happier are they together.
The popular English language books on compatibility do not give a concrete idea about whether the hand and glove fit together or not. Hindu astrology on the other hand is extremely well suited for this purpose. In a very short time it sums up the nature of interaction between two people and gives an unambiguous verdict. No wooly or hazy conjectures colored by vague texts are part of it.
In Sun based astrology, it is assumed that Sun enters a sign around twenty second of a month. It is further assumed that Sun will give uniform results throughout its transit in a sign. Both these assumptions are utterly wrong. After corrections for equinoctial point, the entry date comes close to fifteenth of a month. It is also incorrect to say that a person born on the day when Sun is on the first degree of a sign will behave similar to a person who is born when Sun is at the end of the same sign.
This equinoctial error or error due to our angular view of a planet is in fact left untouched in western astrology and that is why the predictions do not come true.
