What is marriage/love compatibility based on astrology?
Marriage/love compatibility based on astrology evaluates the potential of a relationship by looking at the birth charts of both partners side by side. Each chart is a map of the planets at the exact time and place of birth, and comparing two charts is commonly known as kundli matching.
By analysing where the planets sit in each chart and how they influence one another, an astrologer can shed light on how the couple may relate emotionally, how they communicate, and where friction is more likely to arise.
Why astrology has a place in Indian marriage
In Indian tradition, marriage is seen as the foundation of family and society, not just a ceremony. It brings together two families as well as two people, and is understood as a shared path in which husband and wife pursue dharma, artha and kama on the way to moksha.
The rishis and sages of ancient India observed the stars and the motion of the planets over many centuries and linked the phases of the planets to the phases of life. Kundli matching grew out of this tradition and is still widely consulted by families before a marriage is fixed.
How this differs from marriage compatibility in numerology
TEAM9 offers marriage compatibility through both disciplines. The numerology version compares numbers derived from each partner's name letters and date of birth, such as the life path and destiny numbers. The astrology version described here compares full birth charts, the placement of the planets and their mutual influences.
Because astrology uses the time and place of birth as well as the date, it gives a more detailed chart-based view. You can choose either approach or use both.
