Astrology, in India, is one of the most important factors governing weddings; it is indeed something much more than a mere tradition. For centuries, it has been thought that azimuths guide multiple individuals toward certain unions believed to be harmonious and prosperous. One of the undercurrents of this practice is the belief that extrinsic factors like the position of celestial bodies at the time of birth dictate a person’s personality, compatibility, and future.
In Indian marriages, “kundali matching” or birth chart matching takes utmost importance. This is what determines the compatibility of the potential couple by comparison of both their astrological charts. Such good matching is said to guarantee a smooth married life and ensure that the number of fights or misunderstandings between the two is very minimal. “Guna Milan,” that is matching of characteristics, and “Mangal Dosh,” that is, Mars affliction, are considered in detail to predict what the couple could possibly be like in future.
It is not only prophetical but also gives guidance and reassurance. So many couples follow it to find out the proper wedding date or “muhurat” to get married in a very good cosmic condition. Indeed, astrology stands more than an ancient practice; it is regarded as really matching the cosmic energies to set an eternal creative marriage flourishingly, becoming an intrinsic aspect of the journey towards matrimony.
