When we talk about Vedic Astrology, what immediately comes to mind is their unique match making practices. In eastern cultures, arranged marriages are not simply determined by how much money a family has or what their position in society may be. Individual birth charts are compared for horoscope matching to determine whether a girl and a boy will make a good pair. In some instances, arranged marriages are done as early as childhood and for others it will be determined once they have come of age. It should also be said that nowadays, men and women have a right to choose their potential mates as well and there have been more instances of love matches turning into successful marriages in recent years.

The system used for determining compatibility is not as simple as deciding whether a Leo is a good match for a Pisces. Birth chats undergo an analysis that determines the position of the moon for all factors that are considered to affect a marriage. Because the moon is believed to represent emotions, it is considered vital in making a marriage work. The representation of the twelve houses of the horoscope also plays a big part in the mapping of your destiny. The first house is represented by the ascendant and is considered as the rising sign. This sign and its corresponding ruling planet are the most important influences in a person’s horoscope. Your horoscope will show you the different aspects of your life cycle such as childhood and family life, emotions, adversaries, partners, deepest emotions, luck, etc.
