An Astrological Insight
Astrology suggests some love stories are written in the stars but lasting marriage also needs effort, trust, and connection.
A Love Story Written in the Stars?
Have you ever heard someone say, “Marriages are made in heaven”? It’s a phrase filled with hope, romance, and mystery. In many cultures especially in India this idea isn’t just poetic, it’s deeply believed. But what does it truly mean? Is there a cosmic plan that brings two people together? Can astrology really tell us if we’re meant to be with someone?
Like many people, I’ve often wondered if love is just luck or something deeper. That’s where astrology comes in. It doesn’t just deal with predictions. It opens a window into who we are, what we need in relationships, and why we connect with certain people so intensely.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how astrology helps us understand the idea of heavenly marriages. Whether you’re a believer or simply curious, this journey through the stars might surprise you.
What Does “Made in Heaven” Mean in Astrology?
In astrology, each person’s birth chart created using their date, time, and place of birth is like a cosmic blueprint. It shows where the planets were when you were born, revealing your personality, emotional patterns, and even how you love and relate.
When people say, “This marriage was made in heaven,” astrologers might agree if the two people’s charts show harmony, connection, and strong compatibility. Some believe it’s not just a coincidence. These charts may reflect a divine or karmic plan, written in the stars before the couple ever met.
The Role of Planets in Love and Marriage
Several planets have a major say in how we love, what we’re attracted to, and how we connect in relationships:
- Venus – The planet of love, romance, and beauty. It reflects how you express affection.
- Mars – Passion, desire, and the spark of attraction.
- Jupiter – Growth, blessings, and spiritual bonds.
- Moon – Emotions, comfort, and nurturing energy.
- Saturn – Stability, long-term commitment, and maturity.
If these planets are well-aligned between two charts—like one person’s Venus harmonizing with the other’s Mars it often means emotional and physical chemistry. When Jupiter supports the relationship, it adds wisdom and mutual respect. And Saturn? It makes love last.
Kundli Matching: The Vedic Approach to Compatibility
In Vedic astrology, the idea of heavenly marriages is taken seriously especially during Kundli matching, also known as Gun Milan. It’s a traditional process used before marriage to check compatibility.
This system scores a match out of 36 points, based on:
- Varna – Spiritual and mental compatibility
- Vashya – Mutual control and influence
- Tara – Destiny and health
- Yoni – Physical and sexual harmony
- Graha Maitri – Mental and emotional connection
- Gana – Personality traits and behavior
- Bhakoot – Family life and financial stability
- Nadi – Genetic and health compatibility
A score of 18 or more is usually considered acceptable. Higher scores suggest stronger emotional, spiritual, and practical bonding what some might call a match made in heaven.
Karmic Connections and Past Lives
Have you ever met someone and felt instantly close like you’ve known them forever? Astrology has an answer for that too.
Many astrologers believe in karmic relationships connections formed in past lives that return in this one. When certain patterns show up in your chart (especially involving Rahu and Ketu, the Moon’s Nodes), it may mean you and your partner share a soul history.
These relationships often feel intense. They may come with powerful emotions or life lessons. Whether they bring joy or challenge, they’re thought to be part of your soul’s growth.
Not Every Match Is Heavenly
Even if astrology shows a strong match, it doesn’t guarantee a perfect life. Love isn’t always easy—even for couples with the best charts. Life brings its own ups and downs.
Astrology can guide you, but it can’t replace free will, communication, emotional maturity, or mutual effort. A strong marriage is built day by day with trust, honesty, and shared goals.
Some couples with lower astrological scores thrive through understanding and effort. Others with great scores might face struggles if they don’t nurture the relationship.
Signs of a Harmonious Marriage in Astrology
Here are a few signs astrologers often look for in a well-matched couple:
- Venus and Moon in harmony – Emotional depth and romantic closeness
- Strong 7th house – Partnership and marital stability
- Favorable Saturn aspects – Loyalty and long-term endurance
- Supportive Jupiter – Joy, growth, and shared values
- Compatible Ascendants – Natural comfort and ease between partners
These factors can bring emotional security, attraction, and a shared sense of direction.
When Things Don’t Match: Remedies and Support
In Vedic astrology, if a match shows doshas (flaws), there are remedies to balance the energy:
- Chanting sacred mantras
- Doing pujas (rituals) for planetary peace
- Wearing specific gemstones
- Fasting on particular days
- Visiting temples or performing spiritual acts
These remedies are often done with faith and guidance, helping couples strengthen their bond and remove obstacles.
Modern Love and Astrology
In today’s world, astrology isn’t just used for arranged marriages. Many people in love relationships now explore their compatibility through birth charts.
It’s no longer about superstition. It’s about self-awareness. Astrology can help you understand your needs, your partner’s emotions, and how to build a stronger connection.
When approached with an open heart, astrology becomes a tool for growth and healing, not fear or control.
Conclusion
So, are marriages made in heaven?
Maybe some are. Astrology does point to relationships that seem destined or spiritually guided. The stars can show us where our strengths lie and how to overcome challenges. They can even explain those magical feelings of deep connection.
But in the end, a true “heavenly” marriage is one where two people choose each other every day with patience, kindness, and care. The stars may light the way, but it’s our hearts that do the walking. And perhaps that balance between destiny and daily devotion is the most beautiful kind of love there is.
FAQs

Kundli matching (Gun Milan) is a Vedic system used to check compatibility between two people before marriage. While it’s a helpful guide, emotional maturity, communication, and shared values also play a big role in a successful marriage.
Q3. What if our Kundli score is low should we not get married?
