Reasons why Hindus believe in Kundli Matching

Kundlis or horoscopes have always been an integral part of Indian wedding. Whether your marriage has been fixed by family, or whether you have chosen your life partner yourself, everyone still wants you to get the kundlis matched. But how does it actually works:

The movements of our ruling planets have a major effect on our lives. Astrologers determine compatibility between two people by studying their respective cosmic charts.

Astrologers look at key factors like location, date and time of birth based on position of planets and stars. The more gunas matches, better is the compatibility.

The gunas are matched based on point system which are: Varna, Vasya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gan, Gan, Bhakoot and Nadi.

Varna is matching of the intricacies of castes while Vasya denotes the power of attraction. Tara describes the longevity of the partner and Yoni the nature and characteristics of the person.

Graha Maitri depicts friendship between the two, Gan is about the mental compatibility, Bhakoot denotes the influence each has on the other and Nadi shows the health and happniess of children.

Each gunas carry between 1 to 8 points. Partners with a score of 18 or above are considered compatible.
