Horoscope Matching

Astrology plays a very important role in all aspects of life in Kerala especially in matrimony. Even with modern day changes in perception of what is right and what is wrong, most Keralites regardless of caste and religion gets the horoscope of their child written, approaches the astrologer when he or his family face problems, uses the medium of astrology to ask questions to God (Deva Prasnam) and verifies matching of horoscopes of bride and bridegroom before they marry. In all regions of Kerala, there are famous astrologer families (most often panikkars and thampurans, belonging to the royal family) who were doing a selfless job of social service in providing astrological consultations to all who approached them, for the past several ages. It was with reluctance that this service was commercialised in recent times by these families.
Though the modern day astrology takes it roots from the Rishi Parasaras method as expounded in the 'Vishnu Purana', each region in India places more emphasis on certain points while comparing horoscopes for marriage. For example in Kerala more emphasis is given to Nakshatra Poruttam (with more emphasis on stree deergham and madhyama rajju), Rasi poruttam (with emphasis on shastashtamam), dosha samyam and dasa sandhi. Nowadays, with scarcity of adept astrologers to consult, matching of horoscopes has become a major problem for Keralite families. Added to this fact are some unethical demands by a few professional astrologers.
