Nadi koot carries 8 points or Gunas in the system of Gun Milaan. Different number of points are assigned for Nadi matching, based on how the Nadis of male and female match with each other; according to the rules of Gun Milaan.
Let’s look at the relevance of Nadi Dosh. There are two aspects related to Nadi Dosh. One of them is the medical aspect and the other one is the astrological aspect. Let’s look at the medical aspect first. If both natives belong to same Nadi, they may have the same element dominating them. For example, if both male and female have Madhya Nadi, fire element dominates both of them. As a result, the children born to this couple may have medical imbalances; which may be related to excess of fire element in this case.
Likewise, if both natives have Aadi Nadi, their children may have medical imbalances related to excess of air element. Similarly, if both natives have Antya Nadi, their children may have medical imbalances related to excess of water element. On the other hand, if male and female have different Nadis; they are dominated by different elements. Hence their children may carry better profiles of elements; and excess of any element may be avoided. Hence the medical aspect of Nadi Dosh holds relevance.
Looking at the astrological part; all types of Nadi Dosh may trouble the couple with various types of problems. Some of these problems may be caused due to excess of the same element in them. Some other problems may be caused because of astrological factors like mismatching between the nakshatras belonging to same Nadis. Hence the astrological aspect of Nadi Dosh may also hold relevance.
Let’s see what may happen in case of Aadi Nadi Dosh. Suppose Moon is placed in Shatabhisha nakshatra in male native’s horoscope and it is placed in Ardra nakshatra in female native’s horoscope. Both these nakshatras belong to Aadi Nadi. Hence Aadi Nadi Dosh is formed during Nadi matching. It means both these natives may have excess of air element. Hence their children may suffer from health issues related to excess of air element. Apart from that, such Nadi Dosh may create a number of other problems in marriage. Let’s see how the horoscopes of these two natives may affect the results indicated by Aadi Nadi Dosh.
Suppose Anuradha nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Scorpio in male native’s horoscope and Bharani nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Aries in female native’s horoscope. It means Moon is placed in the fourth house of male native’s horoscope and it is placed in the third house in female native’s horoscope. Nadi matching assigns a score of 0 in this case and Nadi Dosh is formed.
Looking at male native’s horoscope; Anuradha belongs to the fire element and Scorpio is a water sign. Hence this native is under combined influence of air, fire and water elements. Looking at female native’s horoscope, Bharani belongs to the fire element and Aries is a fire sign. Hence this native is under combined influence of air and fire elements. Though Nadi match shows excess of air element in both natives; they have mixtures of all elements. Hence Aadi Nadi Dosh may not create any problems related to children of these natives, if they get married.
As for the other problems; if both horoscopes are supportive for good marriage, such problems should also not be witnessed. Taking an example, suppose Venus is placed in the third house in Capricorn in male native’s horoscope. Suppose exalted Jupiter is placed in the fourth house in Cancer and Venus is placed in the second house in Taurus in female native’s horoscope.
Venus is the general as well as specific signifier of marriage in case of male native; since Venus rules the seventh house. Jupiter is the general and Venus is the specific signifier of marriage in case of female native. Since the most important planets for marriage are strong in both these horoscopes; the couple may not face significant problems in marriage, due to Aadi Nadi Dosh. Hence Aadi Nadi Dosh may not carry much relevance in this case.
Let’s look at this equation from the opposite angle. Suppose Punarvasu nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Gemini in male native’s horoscope and Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Aquarius in female native’s horoscope. It means Moon is placed in the ninth house of male native’s horoscope in Shatabhisha in Aquarius and it is placed in the fifth house in female native’s horoscope in Ardra in Gemini. Nadi matching assigns a score of 0 in this case and Nadi Dosh is formed.
In case of male native; both Shatabhisha and Punarvasu belong to the air element. In addition to that, Gemini is also an air sign. Hence this native may have excess of air element. In case of female native; both Ardra and Poorvabhadrapada belong to the air element and Aquarius is an air sign. Hence this native may also have excess of air element. In female native’s horoscope; Moon rules the sixth house which represents diseases among other things. Hence Moon is malefic and it is placed in the fifth house which represents children.
As a combined effect of all these factors; the couple may face serious problems related to children. Since the air element primarily affects the intellect as well as the nervous system; one or more than one child of this couple may be born with psychological disorders, neurological disorders or some other types of health problems related to excess of air element. Hence Aadi Nadi Dosh may stand fully effective in this case. Apart from the problems related to children, such Nadi Dosh may cause a number of other problems; depending on the overall horoscopes of these two natives.
Similarly, there are a number of other probable malefic combinations in both the horoscopes, which may increase the strength of Aadi Nadi Dosh. On the other hand, there are a number of other probable benefic combinations in both the horoscopes, which may reduce the strength of Aadi Nadi Dosh. Hence each and every relevant factor in both horoscopes should be checked properly, in order to determine whether or not Aadi Nadi Dosh may create problems.
Let’s see what may happen in case Antya Nadi Dosh is formed during Nadi matching. Suppose Moon is placed in Krittika nakshatra in Taurus in male native’s horoscope and it is placed in Swati nakshatra in Libra in female native’s horoscope. Both these nakshatras belong to Antya Nadi. Hence Antya Nadi Dosh is formed during Nadi matching. It means both these natives may have excess of water element. Hence their children may suffer from health issues related to excess of water element. Apart from that, such Nadi Dosh may create a number of other problems in marriage. Let’s see how the horoscopes of these two natives may affect the results indicated by Antya Nadi Dosh.
Suppose Poorvaphalguni nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Leo in male native’s horoscope and Ashwini nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Aries in female native’s horoscope. It means Moon is placed in the tenth house of male native’s horoscope and it is placed in the seventh house in female native’s horoscope. Nadi matching assigns a score of 0 in this case and Nadi Dosh is formed.
Looking at male native’s horoscope; Poorvaphalguni belongs to the fire element and Leo is a fire sign. Hence this native is under combined influence of fire and water elements. Looking at female native’s horoscope, Ashwini belongs to the air element and Aries is a fire sign. Hence this native is under combined influence of air, fire and water elements. Though Nadi match shows excess of water element in both natives; they have mixtures of all elements. Hence Antya Nadi Dosh may not create any problems related to children of these natives, if they get married.
As for the other problems; if both horoscopes are supportive for good marriage, such problems should also not be witnessed. Taking an example, suppose Venus is placed in the third house in Libra and Saturn is placed in the second house in Virgo in male native’s horoscope. Suppose Jupiter is placed in the eleventh house in Aquarius and Venus is placed in the fourth house in Cancer in female native’s horoscope.
Venus is the general and Saturn is the specific signifier of marriage in case of male native. Jupiter is the general and Venus is the specific signifier of marriage in case of female native. Since the most important planets for marriage are healthy in both these horoscopes; the couple may not face significant problems in marriage, due to Antya Nadi Dosh. In addition to that; the placement of benefic Moon in the seventh house in Libra in female native’s horoscope may improve the quality of marriage and it may also promote the lifespan of her husband. Hence Antya Nadi Dosh may not carry much relevance in this case.
Let’s look at this equation from the opposite angle. Suppose Ashlesha nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Cancer in male native’s horoscope and Revati nakshatra rises in the ascendant in Pisces in female native’s horoscope. It means Moon is placed in the eleventh house of male native’s horoscope in Krittika in Taurus; and it is placed in the eighth house in female native’s horoscope in Swati in Libra. Nadi matching assigns a score of 0 in this case and Nadi Dosh is formed.
In case of male native; both Krittika and Ashlesha belong to the water element. In addition to that, Cancer is also a water sign. Hence this native may have excess of water element in this case. In case of female native; both Swati and Revati belong to the water element and Pisces is also a water sign. Hence this native may also have excess of water element. In female native’s horoscope; Moon rules the fifth house which represents children among other things. Moon is placed in the eighth house which represents death and destruction among other things.
As a combined effect of all these factors; the couple may face serious problems related to children. Since the water element is excessive in both natives; one or more than one child of this couple may be born with health problems related to excess of water element. The placement of Moon in the eighth house in female native’s horoscope indicates that she may suffer from abortions or miscarriages. Hence Antya Nadi Dosh may stand fully effective in this case. Apart from the problems related to children, Antya Nadi Dosh may cause a number of other problems; depending on the overall horoscopes of these two natives.
Similarly, there are a number of other probable malefic combinations in both the horoscopes, which may increase the strength of Antya Nadi Dosh. On the other hand, there are a number of other probable benefic combinations in both the horoscopes, which may reduce the strength of Antya Nadi Dosh.
Coming to the end, each and every relevant factor in both horoscopes should be checked properly, in order to determine whether or not any type of Nadi Dosh may create problems in the marriage of two natives, under consideration for horoscope matching.
