Marital Compatibility - Principles/Steps

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

What are the varous methods, principles and steps involved in

analyzing the Rasi/Navamsa for marital compatibility of potential

groom and bride. Most home grown astrologers, I came across seem to

do a Nakshatra based match (point system of 36 where less than 18 is

rejected, 18-27 average and 27+ good) and pass or fail the match.

Others seem to do the Nakshatra and the Kuja dosha check and then

pass or fail the same. Is that all there is to analyze matrimonial

compatibility. Are the above two checks even supposed to be the top-

most ones that can wholly decide which match is to be rejected. It

doesn't seem very logical to me that whereas various houses, lords,

planets, aspects and associations in both Rasi and respective

Divisional are considered for various aspects of life, when it comes

to compatibility judgement is done based on wholly on Nakshatra and

the only planet and position considered seems to be of Mars. I'd be

glad if learned members of the group can throw more light on the

same.
