Introduction
Marriage is an important stepping stone in each person’s life. It marks the start of a whole
a new life with new people as a family. In today’s time, when marriages break due to the
smallest or silliest of reasons, Kundli matching, or marriage matching by name before
marriage can be considered as one of the best possible ways to prevent obstacles and
difficulties in the lives of the couple after marriage.
What is Horoscope Matching?
Horoscope matching refers to a process in which the prospective kundlis of the bride and the
groom are compared. As per Vedic astrology, Kundli matching is a kind of compatibility
analysis among various couples. There are various methods for marriage matching such as-
marriage matching by date, time, and place of birth and marriage matching by name. Since it
was not possible for everyone to know or remember their date, time, and place of birth, many
people remained devoid of such astrological benefits. Therefore, a new tool named marriage
matching by name was devised much later to help people in horoscope matching. The tool
of marriage matching by name is also based on the rules and principles of Vedic astrology.
Guna Milan in horoscope matching
Based on the date of birth and name of the to-be-bride and groom, there eight Gunas
calculated and the affinity between Gunas decides the destiny of the marriage. The 8 Gunas
are:
Varna – This refers to comparing the caste or Varna of the to-be-bride and groom. The
groom’s Varna should be either higher or equal to that of the bride for better compatibility.
Vashya – Vashya determines who would be more controlling between both partners.
Tara – Comparing the birth star of the bride and groom determines the wellness of a
relationship.
Yoni – This Guna determines whether partners are sexually compatible or not.
Graha Maitri – Graha Maitri depicts the mental and intellectual association between the
couple.
Gana – Compatibility in the behavior, personality, and attitude of the couple is depicted by
Gana.
Bhakoot – Bhakoot predicts the career growth and financial prosperity of the couple after
marriage.
Nadi – Nadi Guna holds the maximum points and hence is very important. It predicts the
health and progeny of the couple after marriage. The chances of Nadi Dosha can hamper
the probability of the marriage.

It is believed that, for a successful marriage, the minimum horoscope match score should be
between 18-24 out of 36. In marriage matching by name, if the match score is below 18, the
marriage is not desirable. If the score is above 24, the number is ideal for a trouble-free
married life. Interestingly, the newly devised marriage matching by name is considered one
of the most accurate tools for horoscope matching.
Conclusion
Horoscope matching and especially marriage matching by name before marriage can prove
to be very useful to avoid problems and hurdles in the upcoming marital life of the couples.
Even Kundli matching after marriage can help in providing possible solutions to remove
various doshas.
