Hi TKS
Gopalan Sir has already given you his opinion and as such please take requisite action accordingly. However let me give youe the general view on match making as per astrological practice as committed in post no. 157 for benefit of your self and other members
Sri Ganesh65, Sri Gopalan,
Thank you for sharing your views. I did not have a specific actionable request and it was a question of generic concern. I was not asking to apply to anyone I know. It is not a purely astrology related question but somewhat connected.
If I were to rephrase the question , it is about applicability of rules based on a static view of planets at the time of birth while many free willed actions may have already taken place as a person grows up. If the world view of astrology is entirely deterministic then my question does not apply. But if the belief includes actions done by free willed based decisions, then the impact of those decisions can never be taken into account in a reading of horoscope that seems to be purely based on fixed charts and known evolution of the movement of those planets.
Let me share a known example where the astrology consultation proved to be more of an issue than good.
Some years ago (about 8 or so) one of our friends (TB family) were looking for a groom for their daughter. We know this girl since her teen years and she is highly accomplished in every dimension. Further, she has a pleasing personality and well versed in all our TB customs for a girl born in USA. She quickly became a very successful executive in a major media company once she started her career and had no time. Parents were searching for TB boy who would be very tall since this girl is very tall (over 5'10"). They wanted alliance with someone who would follow our customs etc.
We happened to also know a boy who is related to us and very accomplished. He is extremely well mannered, 6'1", and highly successful. After graduating from one of the world's top business schools he had a great career in store for him. So we made the introductions.
They liked each other's photos, parents liked each other's family after our introduction. Then they exchanged their respective horoscopes.
The girl's grandfather in Chennai, who has background in Vedic astrology blocked the wedding based on his understanding of the match (at a horoscope level).
Nothing suitable came for the boy and when he turned 33 or so he ended up marrying a very rich girl (parents are Gujarati business people who have amassed tremendous wealth). His 'sweet' wife is very demanding and does not like to do any work (not employed and does not like to do any house work including taking care of their children) . This fellow makes about a million dollars a year and has a mansion with maids to cook and another to watch his young children. Such a lifestyle in western world is rare for a TB fellow. His wife though highly educated does not do much and he has aged considerably with his stressful job. If he cannot live up to the levels his wife expects, she threatens to move back to her parent's place (in India) where they have lots of servants. She actually executed on this threat for a year or so. He is struggling and his parents in India are not very happy.
The girl to date has not found anyone. She has been busy climbing the corporate ladder and their parents are going to every temple going around the Navagrahas hoping to find at TB boy who is a vegetarian, follows our customs, educated and tall. She is now 34 and remains unmarried.
I told the parents of the girl to stop looking at astrology anymore. I know you both will not agree. It makes no sense.
Also as people grow up, their future cannot be determined simply by static charts at the time of birth. because actions taken by free willed actions which include all kinds of pariharams by parents of the girl etc has to be included even within the belief system. If future prediction is based on taking into account free willed actions that has already transpired then the rules require an astrologer's own worldview to be factored into the equation making this entirely subjective.
Even if one believes in Vedic Asstrology, being that the adjective Vedic brings automatic respect, the astrologers are limited beings and can make mistakes given the number of rules and number of free willed actions that have already taken place.
I just explained not to put down any beliefs but just sharing contradictions with the area as I understand it.
Without derailing your primary purpose of the thread if you have any reaction to my statement kindly share it
