Most parents in our country despite the steady increase in the incidence of love marriages continue to engage in the age-old practice of matching horoscopes for the purpose of choosing a life partner for their son or daughter. The belief in Astrology has gained such firm ground in our society, we find that even marriage proposals advertised in websites and newspapers very often carry a request that a copy of the horoscope of the proposed partner be sent along with the first response itself.

 

 

Both ‘Visi-porondam’ (twenty Kuta) and Ashta-kuta methods are widely followed in matching horoscopes in our country. Most people presume that they could safely go ahead with conducting a marriage after the comparison of porondam or Kutas – based on the Kuta agreement. However, this presumption is a fallacy. Because 

Despite the Kuta score being average, fair, good, or even excellent, there could be yogas in either horoscope be it that of the male or the female that forebode misfortune for the other partner. This means that the Kuta Agreement is not the last word on the compatibility between a young male and a young female about to embark on matrimony. Therefore, it is a must for a student of Astrology or a practising astrologer to be conversant with the yogas that portend misfortune for the spouse in a native’s Natal Chart.

In this regard, it is an imperative for a student of Astrology to become conversant with Arishta-bhanga yogas as well.
