Two skies laid over one another. The Vedic eight kūṭas count the accord of the two Moons; the Western synastry hears how the planets of one chart speak to the other. Arka reads them together — never a verdict, always a map of where a bond flows and where it must be tended.
This roomanswers how do two charts meet · reads the eight kūṭas, the doṣa ledger and the western synastry for a named bond · a map of the bond, never a verdict on the people.

A count, not a permission. The eight kūṭas weigh two Moons, not two people — and not the years of tending that decide a marriage. No number here should end a match, or make one.

The age-window from Venus, Saturn & the 7th-lord.
Venus in a kendra, its lord 9th/11th — 20–22
Venus with Saturn 7th from it — <18–19

Saturn in the 7th from lagna — 29–31
Venus 5th, Rāhu 4th — 31–33

{{ synMatrixNote }}

Green is flowing (⚹ sextile, △ trine) and red dynamic (□ square, ☍ opposition). Gold is fusion (☌ conjunction) — a third kind, counted neither as ease nor as friction, because two powers on the same degree act as one and intensify whatever they touch. A faint dot means those two planets never meet within orb. Read a row as one of {{ nameA }}’s planets meeting each of {{ nameB }}’s in turn.

The grid is not symmetric. {{ nameA }}’s Moon reaching {{ nameB }}’s Saturn is a different contact from {{ nameA }}’s Saturn reaching {{ nameB }}’s Moon — one is a feeling met with duty, the other duty met with feeling. So the two halves either side of the diagonal say different things, and the rows and columns cannot be swapped.

What this cannot do

It is a comparison, never a judgment of a person: two well-matched charts can ask more of each other than two plain ones who rest easy together. It knows nothing of how either of you was raised, what you have already survived, or what you are each willing to tend — and those decide a marriage more than anything two charts can be scored on. If a family is weighing a match, let this open the conversation and never close it: a low count is a list of things to talk about, not a reason to refuse.

One of the two charts has incomplete birth data — check that each has a valid date, time, latitude, longitude and UTC offset above, and it will compute.
