Siya-Ketan Had 27 Horoscope Matches, So Why Did Their Relationship End in Tragedy? Astrologers Explain

New Delhi: Maharashtra's famous Siya-Ketan murder case has once again brought pre-marriage horoscope matching into the center of discussion. It is being claimed on social media and many forums that 27 out of 36 qualities were found in the horoscope of both of them, which is generally considered good in Vedic astrology. However, the investigation of this matter is still going on and it would not be appropriate to draw any kind of astrological conclusion on the facts related to it.

Despite this, this incident has definitely sparked a debate among people about whether a marriage can be considered successful only on the basis of matching qualities. Regarding this question, astrologers believe that matching qualities is only a part of the marriage process, analysis of the entire horoscope and many other aspects is equally important.

Is having 27 qualities a guarantee of a successful married life?

In Vedic astrology, 36 qualities are assessed before marriage through Ashtakoot matching. Generally, marriage is not advised if fewer than 18 Gunas are found, whereas 18 to 24 Gunas are considered average, 24 to 32 Gunas are considered good and more than 32 Gunas are considered extremely favorable. But astrology experts say that deciding marriage just by looking at the number of qualities is not the right way. This only gives preliminary indications, while success of marital life also depends on many other astrological and practical aspects.

Is analysis of the entire horoscope more important?

According to senior astrologers, the entire horoscope of both parties should be studied before taking the decision of marriage. In this, the position of the seventh house, ascendant, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Moon is considered to have special importance. Apart from this, the influence of planets like Rahu, Ketu and Saturn is also seen. If these planets are affecting the houses related to marriage or are in an unfavorable position, then tension, disputes or other problems may arise in marital life in future. Therefore, instead of just matching the qualities, it is considered necessary to study the complete effect of the planets.

Can online horoscope matching be completely trusted?

Nowadays, many mobile apps and websites generate property matching reports in just a few minutes. However, experts believe that this is only preliminary information. Software is not able to analyze in detail the depth, conditions, conjunctions and other subtle aspects of the planets. If a family believes in astrology then they should get the entire horoscope studied by an experienced astrologer and not take decisions based on online scores alone.

Does marriage success depend only on astrology?

Astrologers also believe that for a successful married life, not only the horoscope but also mutual trust, communication, mental maturity, temperament, family values and respect for each other play a big role. Sometimes relationships break up despite all astrological parameters being favorable, while many couples with lesser qualities live happily for years. Therefore, while taking the decision of marriage, equal importance should be given to social, mental and practical aspects.

Can any astrological conclusion be drawn from the Siya-Ketan case?

Experts clarify that the Siya-Ketan case is currently being investigated by the Maharashtra Police and the real reasons behind the incident will be known only through evidence, forensic investigation and legal process. It is not appropriate to directly link any criminal incident to astrology or draw final conclusions based on it.

This case only serves as a reminder that if a person believes in astrology then he/she should not be limited to mere guna matching before marriage. Besides, aspects like nature, behavior, family background, mental compatibility and mutual understanding of the life partner should also be seriously evaluated. According to experts, a successful marriage is strengthened not only by the combination of planets but also by the trust, respect and mutual understanding of two individuals.
