Decoding lunar sign compatibility warnings and their real significance in marriage matching
In the process of horoscope matching before marriage, families unite as much as individuals. Among many yogas and doshas assessed, one of the most significant and often misunderstood is Shadashatak Dosh. This dosh can create emotional, mental and physical challenges in married life. However, its presence does not necessarily imply that marriage will fail. Let us explore in detail what Shadashatak Dosh is, how it is identified and possible ways to address it.
The term Shadashatak is composed of two Sanskrit numbers: Shashta (6th) and Ashta (8th). This dosh arises when the Moon signs of the bride and groom are positioned in each other’s 6th or 8th house.
Rashi | Zodiac Signs Causing Shadashatak Dosh |
---|---|
Aries | Virgo (6th), Scorpio (8th) |
Taurus | Libra (6th), Sagittarius (8th) |
Gemini | Scorpio (6th), Capricorn (8th) |
Cancer | Sagittarius (6th), Aquarius (8th) |
Leo | Capricorn (6th), Pisces (8th) |
Virgo | Aquarius (6th), Aries (8th) |
Libra | Pisces (6th), Taurus (8th) |
Scorpio | Aries (6th), Gemini (8th) |
Sagittarius | Taurus (6th), Cancer (8th) |
Capricorn | Gemini (6th), Leo (8th) |
Aquarius | Cancer (6th), Virgo (8th) |
Pisces | Leo (6th), Libra (8th) |
Though considered significant, this dosh does not mean the marriage is impossible. Deciding solely based on Moon signs offers an incomplete picture. A full analysis of the horoscope-especially the ascendant, 7th house, navamsa chart, planetary strengths and auspicious yogas-is essential.
No. When other planets are strong, partners’ thinking and surroundings are mature, the impact of Shadashatak Dosh becomes minimal. It serves as a signal, not a conclusion.
Shadashatak Dosh is an important astrological indicator demanding caution before marriage. However, it is not a final verdict. Through detailed horoscope analysis, dialogue and spiritual measures, the effects of the dosh can be understood and balanced. Refusing marriage solely due to its presence is neither appropriate nor practical. With proper guidance, faith and remedies, a successful and balanced married life is entirely possible.
If you wish, I can provide the Sanskrit mantra transliteration and meaning related to these remedies or any other relevant details.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat
We worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva, who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. May he free us from death’s bondage as a ripe fruit effortlessly leaves its stem but keep us united with immortality.
