Kalyana Varma (Saravali Fame) is an Astrologer from 10th century AD India, and he was also ruling a small state, he studied BPHS, Parasara, Bhrigu, Yavanas etc. etc. and came up with following combinations.

Combinations for renunciation-Kalyana Varma Saravali.

Note: Dhristi - Aspect - Watching.

20. If the Sun denotes asceticism (i.e being the strongest in the Yoga), there will be only be faith in the religious order, while competence ( to fulfill the order) will lack, If the planet contributing such order is overpowered by another planet (i.e in eclipse, planetary was etc.) the native will give up the order after being initiated into it.

Should many planets denote such an order, there may be many kinds of religious orders, but these will depend on the order of the planet.

21. If the planet indicating asceticism is combust in the Sun, or is aspects by another heavenly body, the native will only have an earnest desire to be initiated into the religious order, but will not attain fruition of his aim, so say Yavanas.

22. The native will attain religious order, If the Moon, posited in a decanate of Saturn, is aspects by Mars and Saturn, the same effect is produced, If the Moon occupies the Navamsa of Aries/Scorpio in aspect to Saturn.

23. If the Lord of the Moon sign receives the sole aspect of Saturn, one will enter religious order, even in this context the earlier yogas, If present will only prevail.

24. If the Lord of the MOON sign, bright with rays, lends his aspect to Saturn, while Saturn is in an Angle, the native will lose his fortunes only to enter into a religious order.

25. If one among the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter be devoid of strength and occupy the Ascendant or the 10th or the 12th in aspect to strong Saturn, the native will become distressed ascetic.

26.Should the Moon with strength be in the 10th, falling in a benefice Navamsa, while others occupy their exaltation marks and all being in aspect to strong Saturn, the native will become the Lord of the earth to only become an ascetic.

27. If waxing Moon with strength, aspects the Ascendant Lord, the latter being bereft of strength and being alone (In that Rasi), the native will be devoid of wealth and own men, be miserable, sorrowful, will take asceticism and will obtain his food with great inconvenience.

28. One will become a religious mendicant, If Saturn occupying a benefice Navamsa aspects others including the Moon, the Moon in this case should only be in Aquarius Navamsa.

29. If the Lord of the Moon sign aspects all the other planets, while these are all together in one Rasi, the native will become an ascetic.

30. The Sun rules the ascetics of the following orders: Those, who worship the fire god in forests or on river banks, those who worship ( the omnipotent) Sun God, Elephant faced Ganesa, Parvati, those who recite the hymns of Gayatri (which  are very scared) those, who are vowed to bathe in the scared Ganges everyday and those, who maintain (absolute) celibacy.

31. The religious order belonging to the Moon attracts the following various persons, those disciples, who smear their bodies with sacred ashes, those who worship the feet of lord Siva, those who are abandoned by the society, those who are devoted to Bhagavati, those who give up company of others those, who take to Soma Siddhanta and those, who carry bowls in their hands (for begging alms).

32. The Buddhist monks, the tonsured , those, who wear white apparels, those, who beg wearing good robes, those, who wear blood red clothes and those, that have conquered their five senses all these mendicants are ruled by Mars.

33. Mercury denotes an alms seeker, a conjurer, a snake poison curer and one, who eats the flesh of a peacock.

34. The ascetics ruled by Jupiter are those, who hold a single sceptre ( or mace), those who hold three sceptres, those, who wear red colored apparels, those who are in the third stage of their religious life, those who pull on their lives with fruits and water (alone), those, who still are attached to family ties, those, who maintain celibacy and those, who take to visiting shrines.

35. Venus rules the mendicants of saivite and Vaishnavite sects.

36. Religious hypocrites bare mendicants and the Ascetics, who sit under shadowy trees in forests are ruled by Saturn.

37. Should Raja Yogas be simultaneously present along with the above ascetic yogas, all the evil results are nullified and the native will become very virtuous, will be adorned by the king himself becoming a king and will take to religious order.

Thus ends the 20th Chapter entitled Combinations for Renunciations in Kalyana Varmas Saravali.

Two Grah/Planets in one house

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Here are the combinations of two grahs conjoined in one house at the time of birth.

If present in any house, each house will have a different result, the results will also differ based on which Nakshatram they are present in, how close other grah/planets to the Sun, and many other factors, and then that house can be Aries, or Virgo or Pisces, the results of such combinations in each house will be different, as the Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra, Venus is exalted in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo, Mercury is exalted in Virgo and debilitated in Pisces, so please don't read a combination and feel bad or good, these are very general rules which change depending on position, status, Avastha, Astakavarga points, strength, power, any combination needs to be seen from Lagna (Ascendant), the Moon or the Sun and not as an independent entity.

Other Minor Kootas for Match making

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Then there are other minor kutas which are normally not included in the Asta Kootas,

B V Raman:

Mahendra: - The constellation of the boy counted from that of the girl should be the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th. This promotes well-being and increases longevity.

Example: - Mrigasira (constellation of the boy) is the 10th from DhanisnTa (girl's constellation). Hence good.

Stree-Deergha: - The boy's constellation should preferably be beyond the 9th from that of the girl. According to some authorities the distance should be more than 7 constellations.

Exception: - This consideration may be ignored if Rasi Kuta and Graha Maitri are obtained.

Example: - Mrigasira is beyond 9 constellations from Dhanishta. Hence agreement in regard to Stree-Deergha is present.

Rajju: This indicates the strength or duration of married life and therefore it merits attention. The 27 constellations have been grouped into five types of Rajju.

Padarajju. - Aswini, Aslesha, Makha, Jyeshta. Moola. Revati.
Katirajju. - Bharani, Pushyami, Pubba, Anuradha, Poorvashadha, Uttarabhadra.
Nabhi or Udararajju. - Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara, Visakha, Uttarashadha, Poorvabhadra.
Kantarajju. - Rohini, Aridra Hasta. Swati. Sravana, and Satabhisha.
Sirorajju. - Dhanishta, Chitta and Mrigasira.

The Janma Nakshatras of the couple should not fall in the same rajju. If they fall in Sira (head) husband's death is likely; if in Kantha (neck) the wife may die; if in Udara (stomach) the children may die; if in KatI (waist) poverty may ensue; and if in Pada (foot) the couple may be always wandering. Hence, it is desirable that the boy and the girl have constellations belonging to different rajjus or groups.

Vedha: - This means affliction. Certain constellations are capable of affecting or afflicting certain other constellations situated at particular distances from them; For instance, Aswini is said to cause Vedha to 18th constellation (viz., Jyeshta) from it; Bharani to the 16th (viz., Anuradha) and so on.

The following pairs of constellations affect each other and, therefore, no marriage should be brought about between a boy and girl whos Janma Nakshatras belong to the same pair unless the are other relieving factors.

Aswini and Jyeshta; Bharani and Anuradha; Krittika and Visakha; Rohini and Swati; Aridra and Sravana Punarvasu and Uttarashadha; Pusayami and Poorvashadha; Aslesha and Moola; Makha and Revati; Pubba and Uttarabhadra; Uttara and Poorvabhadra; Hasta and Satabhisha, Mrigasira and Dhanishta. In our example, the constellations of the couple (Mrigasira and Dhanishta) belong to the prohibited pair and hence Vedhakuta is absent
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\

Exceptions: B V Raman:

We shall now give certain contingencies arising by virtue of common Janma Rasi, common birth star and the absence of certain Kutas.

(1) The absence of Stree-Deerga may be ignored if Rasi Kuta add Graha Maitri are present.

(2) If the Rasi of the girl is odd, the 6th and 8th Rasis there from are friendly. If the Rasi of the girl is even the 2nd and 12th therefrom become friendly. The evil due to the birth of the bride in a Rakshasa gana star may be ignored if Janma Rasi being 2nd and 12th, 9th and 5th or 6th and 8th, the lords of the Rasis are the same or are mutual friends.

(3) Though Graha Maitri is by far the most important, it need not be considered if the couple have their Janma Rasis disposed in one and seven from each other.

(4) Rajju Kuta need not be considered in case Graha Maitri, Rasi, Dina and Mahendra Kutas are present.

(5) The evil due to Nadi Kuta can be ignored subject to the following conditions: -

(a) The Rasi and Rajju Kuta prevail,

(b) The same planet is lord of the Janma Rasis of both the male and the female,

(c) The lords of Janma Rasis of the couple are friends.

In many cases, the Janma Rasis of the Janma Nakshatras of the bride and bridegroom would be the same. Attention is paid by astrological writers to such exceptions and we shall throw some light on them for the edification of our readers.

Common Janma Rasi. - Views differ as regards the results accruing from the Janma Rasis being common.

According to Narada, common Janma Rasi would be conducive to the couple provided they are born in different constellations.

Garga opines.that under the above circumstance, the asterism of the boy should precede that of the girl if the marriage is to prove happy.

In case the reverse holds good (Stree-purva), i.e. the constellation of the girl precedes that of the boy, the alliance should be rejected. This view is supported by other sages, viz. Brihaspathi and Bhrigu. In fact, the author of Muhurtha Thathwa goes to the extent of saying that in cases of common Janma Rasi, provided the man's constellation is preceding the girl's, the Kutas or adaptability need not be applied at all.

Common Janma Nakshatra. - This is a further extension of the principle of common Janma Rasi. The Janma Nakshatras of the bride and bridegroom, being one and the same, are approved in case of Rohini, Aridra, Makha, Hasta, Visakha, Sravana. Uttarabhadra and Revati.

The effect would be ordinary if the common Janma Nakshatras are Aswini, Krittika, Mrigasira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Pubba. Uttara. Chitta, Anuradha, Poorvashadha and Uttarashadha, Bharani, Aslesha. Swati, Jyeshta, Moola, Dhanishta, Satabhisha and Poorvabhadra happening to be common Janma Nakshatras are not recommended.

Here again certain ancient authors hold that even though the Janma Nakshatras are same, the evil becomes nullified if the Padas are different. If the Janma Nakshatra belongs to two signs (e.g., Krittika) the Pada of the bride should relate to the preceding sign.

For example, if Krittika is the common Janma Nakshatra, the bride should have her Janma Rasi in Mesha and the bridegroom in Vrishabha. If, however, the common Janma Nakshatra belongs to two signs equally (e.g., Mrigasira, Chitta, etc.) the sign for the first two quarters should be that of the bridegroom.

The couple should not have the same Janma Rasi, same Janma Nakshatra and Pada. However, in regard to Satabhisha, Hasta, Swati. Aswini, Krittika, Poorvashadha, Mrigasira and Makha, the evil given rise to by virtue of common Janma Rasi, Nakshatra and Pada gets cancelled if the couple are born in the first quarter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destructive Constellations:

There is a strong belief among old schoolers that four Nakshatras bring certain negative elements to the Marriage, particularly Moola, Aslesha, Jestha, and Vishaka.

Mooladou swasuram hanti vyaladouca bhidhankanamJyeshtadou jyeshtajam hanti visakhantecha devaram

Source of this shloka: Still finding

Meaning: Moola causes harm to Husbands Father, Aslesha causes harm to Husbands mother,
Jyestha causes harm to Husbands Elder Brother, Visakha causes harm to Husbands younger brother.

Please don't read this and start wailing, but with out reason there is no such thing which prevails, it needs to be studied and needs data of people with such Constellations and If anything happened to the family members of the Husband. :-)

B V Raman: Destructive constellations with regards to marriage (arranged where horoscopes are matched by families)

There is a belief current amongst the public that girls born in certain constellations cause the death of certain relatives.

For instance, a girl born in Visakha is said to bring about the destruction of her husband's younger brother so that parents generally try to find out a bridegroom who does not have a younger brother. Even when there are other merits in the horoscope, it is rejected on the simple ground that the girl is born in Visakha. This is entirely due to ignorance of the real astrological factors governing such considerations. Only certain Padas or quarters should be held inauspicious and not the entire constellation. Thus, in regard to Visakha, only the last quarter is evil and not the first three.

Therefore a girl born in the first three quarters of Visakha should not be considered to bring misfortune to her husband's younger brother.

Similarly, the boy or girl born in the first quarter of Moola is to be rejected as it is said to cause the death of the father-in-law. The last three quarters of Moola are benefical.

A girl born in Jyeshta is said to cause evil to her husband's elder brother. Almost all authors agree that (certain parts of) Moola, Astesha, Jyeshta and Visakha are destructive constellations - Moola (first quarter) for husband's father; Aslesha (first quarter) for husband's mother; Jyeshta (first quarter) for girl's husband's elder brother; and Visakha (last quarter) for husband's younger brother.

Electing a Time for Marriage

Ordinarily almost every Indian Panchanga gives important dates and times for celebrating marriages. The reader cannot rely on them as most of the dates given would not be free from important flaws. Moreover, the marriage dates selected would generally be in accordance with local usages.

For instance, a Tamilian would not mind marriage being performed in lunar month of Ashadha (provided the Sun has not entered Cancer). But strong objection is taken to this by people living in Andhra and Karnataka. Apart from this, there is universal agreement all over India as regards the time, weekday, constellation and planetary positions to be obtained at the time of marriage.

I am giving below the most standard methods employed by scholars, warranted by experience and sanctioned by the ancient sages.

The lunar months of Magha, Phalguna, Vaisakha and Jyeshta are good. Kartika and Margasira are ordinary. The rest are not auspicious. Some sages opine that marriages can be celebrated in Pushya and Chaitra provided the Sun is in Capricorn and Aries respectively.

The following lunar days, viz., from the 11th day (dark half) to New Moon, Riktha Thithis, 8th, 12th and 6th should be rejected. The best lunar days are the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th (of the bright half).

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the best. Sunday and Saturday are middling. And Tuesday should be invariably rejected.

The best asterisms are Rohini, Mrigasira, Makha, Uttara, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Moola, Uttarashadha, Uttarabhadra and Revati. The first quarter of Makha and Moola and the last quarter of Revati are inauspicious and they should be rejected. Constellations not mentioned here are unsuitable and they should be avoided.

The following yogas should be rejected: Vyatipata, Dhruva, Mrityu, Ganda, Vajra, Soola, Vishkambha, Atiganda, Vyaghata and Parigha.

Vishtikarana must invariably be discarded.

Among the zodiacal signs Gemini, Virgo and Libra are the best. Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius are middling. The rest are inauspicious.

In the election of a Muhurtha for marriage, as many of the 21 doshas (already mentioned) as possible should be avoided. The most important considerations however are (a) The 7th house must be unoccupied by any planet, (b) Mars should not be in the 8th, (c) Venus should not be in the 6th, {d) the Lagna should not be hemmed in between malefics, (e) malefics should not occupy Lagna. and (f) the Moon in the election chart should have no association with any other planet.

Apart from the above, the usual Tarabala, Panchaka. etc., should be looked into. Elsewhere are given certain combinations which are supposed to neutralise adverse influeces. As far as possible, such combinations should be applied to secure a really propitious moment. Jupiter, Mercury or Venus in Lagna, malefics in the 3rd or 11th, would constitute a formidable force in rendering the Lagna strong. The following are some of the combinations which are supposed to fortify the marriage election chart: -

(1) Jupiter in the ascendant, Venus in the 8th and the Sun in the 11th - Mahendra Yoga.
(2) Venus in Lagna. Jupiter in the 10th and the Sun and Mercury in the 11th-Vishnu Priya Yoga.
(3) Venus in the 2nd, Jupiter in the 12th, the Sun in the 8th and Saturn in the 6th - Sreenatha Yoga.
(4) Venus in Lagna, Jupiter in the 4th, Mercury in the 2nd and Saturn in the 11th - Samudra Yoga.
(5) Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in Lagna - Vijaya Yoga.
(6) Venus and Jupiter in Lagna elevated or otherwise strong - Jaya Yoga.
(7) Saturn in the 3rd, Jupiter in the 6th, the Sun in the 10th and Mars in the 11th - Pushya Yoga.
(8) Mars in the 3rd, Saturn in the 6th, Venus in the 9th, Jupiter in the 12th - Maharshi Yoga.
(9) Venus in Lagna, Jupiter in the 11th - Ardhama Yoga.

Thus, it will be seen that the Hindus have devised an astrological means of judging marriage compatibility where by the relations between the couple may stand the strain of maladjustment. If astrological advises are properly heeded to. there will be fewer tragedies than at present and less marital infidelity.

Modern sexologists and sociologists will do well to study the theory behind the astrological rules bearing on marriage casting off their prejudices instead of criticizing and condemn the system.
