Though marriage in general is viewed as a gateway to progeny and worldly existence, the institution of marriage has a deeper and spiritual aspect to it.
The Vedas have demarcated four main stages in the life journey of an individual – Baalya (Infancy and childhood), Koumara (in the current parlance, Teenage), Grahasthya (Family life) and Vaardhakya (Old age).
Being such a vital cog in the wheel of life, marriage astrology has been given prominent place in the course of life and rightfully so.
Hence, it is customary for parents of the eligible brides and grooms to match horoscope for marriage.
Since the two individuals concerned will be bound in life for life, it is only but natural to know about the planetary positions and their impact on their joint life.
Astrology helps in identifying the bright and low points of an individual based on the placement and movement of the heavenly stars through an analytical reading of their birth chart.
