Astrology and Marriage

Astrology and Marriage are the studies of the positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs. Astrological predictions can be effectively used to predict many aspects of our lives such as business, romance, money, jobs etc. It can also be used to enhance the overall success of individuals. The impact of planetary motions on our day-to-day lives cannot be entirely ruled out. Millions of successful users of astrology will vouch for that.

Marriage is a sacred institution

One of the most common questions astrologers get asked is, “When will I get married?“ For most people, marriage is a sacred institution. It means the union of two hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. It is often said that “marriages are made in heaven”. Well, could be very much true. But for all practical purposes, it is essential to find the right match for a man or a woman.

Astrology can help

Astrology plays a big part in finding the right matrimonial alliance. With the help of astrological predictions, the compatibility of a couple can be ascertained. This practice of matching horoscopes of would-be brides and grooms is quite common among Hindus in India. Marriages almost never happen here without horoscope matching. Astrologers also determine the ideal time and date of the marriage.

Horoscope matching

Horoscopes of the prospective brides and grooms tell a lot about the past, present and future. Horoscope matching also guides the astrologer on the dates to be avoided. There are some periods in which the influence of some planets like Saturn is quite strong. These periods may not be ideal for the solemnization of a marriage. Marriages solemnized in these “bad patches” may not last long, or may be shaky. So, we can say astrology can be used to avoid future “break-ups” or divorces.

Matrimonial matching

Matrimonial matching by horoscopes requires a few important documents. First of all, the horoscopes of both the bride and the bridegroom are analysed. Then some crucial information such as the date of birth, time of birth and place of birth, of both the man and the woman are collected. There are various permutations and combinations to be done to match the horoscopes. The influences of the motions of the planets at the time of birth are analysed. This gives a rough idea to the astrologer whether the couple is compatible or not. It is not mandatory that the horoscopes of the bride and the groom need to match perfectly. Sometimes marriages are possible in the case of minor differences between the boy and the girl. But in such cases, some corrective measures, as suggested by the astrologers have to be taken before the solemnization of the marriage.

The Seventh House

Your birth chart contains information on where the Sun, Moon, Venus, and other planets were in the sky when you were born. In astrology, there are also 12 houses in your chart that rule certain areas of your life. As the planets move through each house, it can make certain things more challenging or luckier for you.

Long-term partnerships, relationships, and marriage all fall under a person’s seventh house. When Venus is moving or transiting through your seventh house, you may feel a little more affectionate and giving in your relationship.

But if you’re looking for love, you should try to figure out when Jupiter transits your seventh house as it’s the planet of luck and opportunity. “As Jupiter transits the seventh house, it brings blessings to any relationship or partnership that you are involved in. It would be a perfect time to renew your vows or commitment to someone special in your life. If you’re not married, it will often indicate a marriage or commitment to someone.

Conclusion

It has been observed that the success rates of marriages are higher in cases where horoscope matching is done. Critics may have different opinions regarding this. But they too cannot totally disprove the fact that Astrology is effective when it comes to marriages. Scientists may say that Astrology has no scientific basis. But that does not take the credit away from the practice of horoscope matching that is prevalent in India.
