A kundli or horoscope matching is an exercise undertaken by casting the birth charts of two individuals and comparing them to find a match. The primary idea behind the exercise is that two people are made for each other and can live together in harmony if they share the same pattern, but not if they have opposing patterns.

The theory of kundli matching has its roots in Hindu astrology. It is a complex science and involves many factors to be considered while performing the exercise. The theory is based on the belief that each of us has a distinctive life pattern which is also known as destiny. This pattern manifests itself at the time of birth and helps determine our lives later in life.
The horoscope of an individual is created based on the time of birth and the position of the stars at the time. It includes information about the length and purpose of life, marital status, number of children, profession, education, and earnings. There are also various sub-patterns that help in further analysis where other factors like a planetary position with respect to a specific house (representing different aspects) are considered.

Kundli matching is a highly valued exercise amongst Hindu families and elders often take it into consideration while making marriage arrangements for their children. It is generally regarded as a more acceptable means of matching than cross-matching or horoscopes of similar individuals in different towns.

Importance of Kundli Matching

Kundli matching is an interesting exercise in which two people are matched and then considered for marriage. The primary goal is to find two people who would be compatible and could share a harmonious life.

The exercise can also be used by couples who are single but looking for a life partner. Psychologists too use kundli matching in their counseling, to help find partners for their clients. Kundli matching can also be studied by those interested in finding their future spouses or by researching the lives of famous personalities.

Advantages of Kundli Matching

Why Kundli Matching is an exciting compatibility test ? However, it can be more than this. For individuals who are getting married or looking for a life partner, kundli matching is a highly useful exercise to help find compatible partners. The benefits include:

• Knowing whether two people have similar lives or not before they get married.

• Knowing whether two people would be harmonious or not.

• Ability to find a life partner before marriage.

• Ability to find a life partner without many people knowing that they are “stalking” someone into marriage.

The process of kundli matching can be very time-consuming and expensive if performed by an astrologer, so for most people, this is not practical. This is why most common variants of the exercise are based on chart matching or horoscope matching instead of kundli matching.

Why is online Kundli matching?

The process of kundli matching has traditionally been performed by individuals who are either trained astrologers or deal with family matters. They would need to learn the science involved, perform the exercise and then repeat it again and again until they find a match. There are a few options available to those interested in kundli matching. They can either approach an astrologer, who would carry out the exercise, or they could use an online horoscope matching service. The advantages of this service include:

• An advantage of using an online horoscope matching service over approaching an astrologer, is that the cost and time involved is reduced drastically. Most online services charge on a per chart basis, where others may even offer unlimited matches for a fixed price.

• If an astrologer is involved in the process, then privacy and confidentiality may be compromised.

• Online services generally allow people to get a basic analysis of the horoscope and then when they are happy with the results, can proceed with kundli matching.

There are many different options available for kundli matching and while most of them work to a certain extent, they all have their own flaws. The process of kundli matching can work but should be carefully considered before spending time or money on it.

What is Gun Milan?

Gun Milan is the match-making of the birth stars of two individuals. While in horoscope matching, birth charts are compared and their compatibility is highlighted, in Gun Milan, birth stars are matched.

The positions of the nine planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter Saturn and Venus) in each individual’s birth chart have been assigned a Zodiac Sign based on their spatial positions at that moment of time. For example: Mars falls under Aries while Jupiter falls under Sagittarius. Thus the Gun Milan of the couple is worked out by comparing Zodiac signs (Stars) and the corresponding planets.
