COMPATIBILITY CHECK PART II :
Friends,
I had given the compatibility check usually carried out before checking ASHTAKA VARGHA, DASAA SANDHI and GRAHA SAAMYA. Now herein I am giving those important compatibilities without which marriage should not be conducted between a girl and a boy.
1. ASHTAKA VARGHANUKOOLYA : “ ll कन्न्याया जन्मेन्दोशौष्टकवर्ग्गे फलाधिके राशौ
पुरुषस्य जन्म शुभदं पुरुषेन्दुवशात्तथैव कन्याया ll “
This is taken from ACHAARA SAMGRAHA
If the boy’s JANMA KKOORU has more numbers in the RAASI than the girl’s then the coimpatibility is said to be EXCELLENT.
“ ll राश्याष्टांशकनायकाः शनिगुरुष्मापुत्रभास्वत् घृगुग्लौपुत्रामृतरश्मयो निगदिताः प्राग्लग्नाभं च क्रमात्, पुंस्त्रीन्दकवर्ग्गयोरितरजन्मेन्द्वाश्रिताष्टांशनाथाक्षोपेतगृहेfन्यजन्म शुभदं चिन्द्यं विशेषादिदं ll “
MEANING : it is said that SATURN, JUPITER, MARS, SUN, VENUS, MERCURY, MOON and ASCENDANT (Lagna ) are respectively , the ASHTAAMSHA Lords of the Raasi
Meaning :
शनिगुरुष्मा पुत्रभास्वत्भृगुग्लौपुत्रामृतरश्चयः राश्या प्राग्लग्नाभं च क्रमात् means Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, mercury, Moon and ascendant respectively; राश्याष्टाम्शक नायका निनिगतिताः means are said to be the ASHTAAMSHAADHPAS. पुंस्त्रीन्द्वष्टक वर्ग्गयोः means in the CHANDRA-ASHTAKAVARGGA of the male and female; इतर जन्मेन्द्वाश्रिताष्टाम्शनाथाक्षोपेतग्रुहे means in one person’s horoscope in Raasi Chakra, where Moon is positioned, in the AKSHAM in which RAASI it comes ,अन्य जन्म शुभदं means if the CHANDRA situates it is considered as EXCELLENT COMPATIBILITY. इदं विशेषाद् चिन्दयं means this is to be checked as a special compatibility.
DASAA SANDHI : Friends, now I shall deal with how to check Dasaa Sandhi. This is the easiest method. Dasaa Sandhi is calculation od Dasas from BALANCE DASA AT THE TIME OF BIRTH. This Dasa starts after the birth. If we add with the date of birth the ShishtaDasa period we can get the date in which the DASA ends. For example if GARBHA SHISHTAM (Balance Dasa at the time of Birth) Balance dasa : 5 years 1 month and 21 days RAVI DASA add to it the date of birth say the date of birth is 07 -04 - 1962 to it. i.e. (00005 – 01 – 21 + 07 – 04 – 1962) = 12 - 05 – 1967 will be the ending period . i.e. Up-to 28 – 05 - 1967 Ravi Dasa or Ravi Dasa Ends on 28 – 05 – 1967. Now you must know the number of years an Udu Dasa is given. I give the following tables for your calculation :-
RAVI DASA 6 YEARS KRITHIKA, UTHARA PHALGUNI AND UTHRAASHADA
CHANDRA DASA 10 YEARS ROHINI, HASTHA, SRAVANA
KUJA DASA 7 YEARS MRUGASIRA, CHITHRA, DHANISHTA
RAAHU DASA 18 YEARS ARDRA,SWATHY,SHATHABHISHAK
GURU DASA 16 YEARS PUNARVASU, VISAKHA, PURVABHADRA
SANI DASA 19 YEARS PUSHYA, ANURADHA, UTHARABHADRA
BUDHA DASA 17 YEARS ASLESHA, JYESHTA, REVATHI
KETHU DASA 7 YEARS ASHWINI, MAKHA, MOOLA.
SHUKRA DASA 20 YEARS BHARANI, POORVAPHAALGUNI, POORVAASHAADA
Note : If a child is born in Krithika, Uthara Phalgun or Utharaashaada the Starting Dasa will be RAVI. The same way please check for other NAKSHATHRAS
Dasa Sandhi : While checking DASA SANDHI please check both the female’s and male’s horoscopes and if the Dasas in any place either beginning or ending meet within ONE YEAR, there is no compatibility between both the horoscopes. Althougfh some are of the view that the DASA SANDHI to be checked only for SIX MONTHS, I feel , it must be checked in such a way that in the horoscopes of Male and Female the Dasas should not meet with in ONE YEAR for the reason that the Latitudes and Longitudes may not be correct or the time of bith might vary. Long back an article appeared in the HINDU a prominent daily from South, in its SUNDAY EDITION about DASA SANDHI in which it is said that it need not be checked. I feel that the beginning and ending of any DASA starts up with bad consequences and hence this is a most important factor of checking COMPATIBILITY.

PAAPA SAAMYAM : Whatever I have given in this part is to be checked by A well qualified astrologer. I request one and all not to start checking PAAPA SAAMYA if you have no knowledge of Astrology.
Paapa Saamya is nothing but checking the nature of PAAPA GRAHAS and their positions in the female’s and male’s horoscopes and their ability as to how much harm they can do for man and woman who are to be married. When we check PAAPATHWA of the grahas( planets ) we must check them as if we are doing mathematics. i.e. if two negatives are multiplied we get positive figure. One Horoscope is said to be good provided the SHUBHA GRAHAS are in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th , 10th, 5th, 9th and 11th Houses.
Now I shall tell which are the planets considered as PAAPA PLANETS. (1) MARS (KUJA), SUN (RAVI), SATURN (SANI – MANDAN ), RAHU and KETHU are generally said to be PAAPA GRAHAS. “ Malefic Planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Kethu, waning Moon, and functional malefics. Besides this, the planets who own bad houses like 3rd, 6th, 8th, and 12th.”” Further it is desirable to have conjunction of 7th lord with karaka Venus in any house. But please note that in the case of Taurus and Libra langnas the 7th lord is Mars and his association with Venus is not bad as he happens to be the lagna lord. Rahu in the 7th house creates death or divorce to the spouse unless he is in the star of benefic planet or in conjunction with benefic planets or aspected by benefic planets. Second marriage should be predicted only if karaka Venus is not strong and well placed in the horoscope with benefic planets company or aspect.”
As a general rule, If any of these planets are situating in LAGNA, 2nd HOUSE, 4th HOUSE, 4th HOUSE, 7th HOUSE, 8th HOUSE and 12th HOUSE in a MALE’S HOROSCOPE, it is to be situating in the FEMALES HOROSCOPE also. Again, I am of the opinion that in the Male’s horoscope a little bit Dosha should be more than that of the female’ horoscope. Although, there is an opinion that if PAAPA GRAHA is in any of the house said above (1,2,4,7,8 and 12 ) that will be an antidote. However, I do not consider this opinion as sound. I am of the opinion that PAAPA GRAHAS should be in the same House as of the girl’s horoscope, in the male’s horoscope. It is very difficult to get such horoscopes for matching. Hence I suggested a bit more PAAPA in the male’s horoscope. Among the Paapa Grahas Raahu has the PAAPA which is less than that of other planets. When we compare the PAAPA SANKHYA which each planet gives in my opinion , KUJA (MARS) , tops the list .
I am giving a list of marks which can be given to all the said PAAPA GRAHAS :-
1. RAAHU : In 1st house i.e. with Lagna Paapathva 5 points
In 2nd house Paapathva 2 Points.
In 4th House “ 3 Points.
In 7th House “ 4 Points.
In 8th House “ 6 Points
In 12th House “ 1 Poiunt
2. RAVI In 1st House “ 10 Points
In 2nd House “ 4 Points
In 4th House “ 6 Points
In 7th House “ 8 Points
In 8th House “ 12 Points
In 12th House “ 2 Points
3 MANDAN In 1st House “ 15 Points
(SANI) In 2nd House “ 6 Points
In 4th House “ 9 Points.
In 7th House “ 12 Points.
In 8th House “ 18 Points
In 12th House “ 03 Points
4. KUJA In 1st House “ 20 Points
In 2nd House “ 8 Points
In 4th House “ 12 Points
In 7th House “ 16 Points
In 8th House “ 24 Points
In 12th House “ 04 Points
Please give the above Paapathwa Marks to the concerned PLANET as above.
The following are the necessary checks while seeing PAAPATHVA :-
A. whether the action of a Planet which has Naisargika bala or Permanent natural strength alone has any change in PAAPTHVA ?
B. Whether the DASA of the EVIL PLANETS are over or when it will begin ?
C. If in the female’s horoscope widowhood is seen then only a man who has similar defect should be considered for marriage.
D. In the Female’s horoscope the evil planets in 7th and 8th houses are to be checked for evils compared with 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th , 8th and 12th houses.
E. In general we consider we check the number of evil planets and give if it is in the 1st House i.e. if it is checked from Lagna 1 pont for its paapathwa , if it is from Chandra 0 .75 Paapthwa . and if it is from Shukra 0.5 . I am of the opinion that we must check the behavior of the planet also . Some astrologers do not consider the PAAPATHWA especially of female’s horoscope when counted from Venus. Certain astrologers do not even count from Moon.
TO BE CONT’D.
When Evil Planets are in their EXALTATION POINTS their capacity to do evil becomes less and when they reach debilitation points it is more.

KUJA DOSHA
F. In the female’s horoscope if Mars is in the 1st , 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th houses IN THE MALE’S HOROSCOPE ALSO IT SHOULD BE POSITIONED IN THE SAME HOUSE. OTHERWISE there will be divorce, death of male or female, or separation etc. This I am saying from my personal experience after checking some horoscopes. Although many antidotes have been given by learned pundits in ASTROLOGY I do not agree with those antidotes which I shall also mention herein, for academic reasons.

For the MARS DOSHA (ചൊവ്വാ ദോഷം) (செவ்வாய் தோஷம்) I find certain antidotes given by many authors. I am not convinced with any of the antidotes. KUJA DOSHAM ALWAYS REMAINS. However, I am giving the antidotes also for academic reasons :
“ ll चतुसप्तमगे भौमे, मेष, कर्क्क्याळि नक्रगे
यदा राशौ शुभं प्रोक्तं, कुजदोषं न विद्यते ll “
If from Lagna, Chandra or Shukra if Mars situates in MESHA, VRISCHIKA, MAKARA or KARKKITAKA in the male’s/Female’s horoscope if KUJA situates in the 4th House or 7th House , there is no DOSHA.
Some opine that if SANI (SATURN) (MANDAN) remains in 1, 2, 4,7 ,8, and 12th houses it will be an antidote for KUJA DOSHA
If KUJA in 7th House is aspected (திருசட்டி, ദൃഷ്ടി) by Jupiter, no Dosha in 7th House.
From Lagna ( the House in which Lagna Situates or from Chandra if the lord of 7th House situates there is no KUJA DOSHA or WIDDOWHOOD, or no evil of NOT HAVING CHILDREN.
If the good planets are in Kendra and Thrikona ( In Quadrant & In Trine ) i.e 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th Bhavas and 1st 5th and 9th , and in 3rd 6th and 11th are occupied by Evil planets and if in 7th house the owner of the house situates , it will be an antidote for MARS DOSHA.
If Kuja is placed in both the horoscopes in the same way, it will be an antidote for KUJA DOSHA.
If Saturn is in Ascendant ( LAGNA) , 7th, 4th, 8th or 12th house it will be an antidote for KUJA DOSHA.
If Kuja is in EXALTATION (உச்சம், ഉച്ചം) or in own house i.e. in MESHA or VRISCHIKA then it is antidote for KUJA DOSHA.
If MARS is in friendly House then there is no MARS DOSHA.
If MARS becomes debilitated i.e. NEECHA RAASI then there is no MARS DOSHA.
If Mars is in UCHCHA OR SWAKHETHRA in AMSAKA (NAVAMSAM).
If Mars is in CHARA RAASI ( Variable RAASI) there is no KUJA DOSHA.
If Mars is associated with Chandra, Budha or Guru, there is no KUJA DOSHA
If any of the above given planets aspects KUJA then also there is no KUJA DOSHA.
If Kuja is in MITHUNA or KANYA and these Raasis becomes 2nd House where KUJA exists, then there is no KUJA DOSHA.
If MAKARA or KARKKATAKA becomes 7th BHAAVA and KUJA is places in it, there is no KUJA DOSHA.
If DHANUS or MEENA becomes the 8th House and KUJA is placed in any of these Houses when any of them is 8th house .
If the 4th House is VRISHABHA or THULA and KUJA is placed in any of such House there is no KUJA DOSHA.
In KUMBHA and SIMHA if Kuja situates there is no KUJA DOSHA AT ALL.
If there is conjunction of KUJA and GURU, KUJA and CHANDRA, or GURU or SHUKRA in Lagna there is no KUJA DOSHA.
A person born in KARKKATAKA LAGNA , SIMHA LAGNA, DHANUR LAGNA or MEENA LAGNA; KUJA IS beneficiary and not PAAPI (பாபி, പാപി).
However, in BRUHAT DAIVAGNA RATHNAKARA ( बृहत दैवज्ञ रत्नाकरं) it is said :
“ ll भौमतुल्ल्यो यदा भौमः पापोवा तादृशो भवेत् l
उद्वाहःशुभदः प्रोक्तः चिरायुः पुत्रपौत्रदः ll”
In JATHAKA CHANDRIKA written by KALIDASA it is written thus although he has mentined antidotes for KUJA DOSHA. :-
“ ll (लग्ने) धने व्यये च पाताळे जामित्रे चाष्टमे कुजे l
स्त्रीणां भर्तृ विनाशस्स्यात्भर्तृणां दारनाशनं ll “
Meaning : If in the horoscope of the female, Mars situates in Raasi Chart in( Lagna), 2, 12, 4, 7, and 8th House the husband will die and if it is in the male’s horoscope the wife will die.
In general, what I have observed is even if death doe not occur there is always separation, divorce, or childlessness etc. I, THEREFORE, REQUEST ONE AND ALL NOT TO CONSIDER HOROSCOPES WITH KUJA DOSHA IF KUJA DOSHA DOES NOT EXIST in ONE OF THE HOROSCOPES or NOT SEEN IN THE SAME HOUSE.
I believe in minus into minus = Plus theory.
Although Late Dr. B.V Raman in his “MUHURTHA” has written thus “ ……It must be noted that in determining marriage adaptability between two parties , there are several elements of much more importance than KUJA DOSHA. and the evil influences accruing from the bad position of MARS is only one of the several elements…..”
It is unfortunate that throughout South India especially in TAMIL AREAS, much is made of the so called KUJA DOSHAM and this bugbear has been the means of destroying the happiness of many families by preventing marriages othersise eligible in so far as our humble experience …….”
FRIENDS, I DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT LATE DR. B.V. RAMAN, an AUTHORITY in Astrology says . I am speaking from my experience of checking few horoscopes. My experience might not be sufficient since I AM NOT A PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGER. However, I have given my view. It is left to you and the Predictive Astrologer to interpret each verse.
A WORD OF ADVICE WILL NOT BE OUT OF PLACE : KINDLY GO TO A GOOD PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGER TO CHECK PAAPA SAAMYA. It is also better if one can go to check the other compatibilities.
There are more than 20 Compatibilities to be checked but I have given only the important compatibilities to be checked.
Regards to one and all,
