In Vedic astrology, there are 27 stars and 12 zodiac signs. Each zodiac sign has a separate lord, and they can be friendly, hostile, or equal in a relationship. Rasi Athipathi Porutham (zodiac lord compatibility) is a major aspect in assessing marriage compatibility based on the positions of these lords.
If Rasi Athipathi Porutham is absent between a couple’s horoscopes, their married life may lack peace of mind. This aspect should be considered for compatibility.
Significance of Rasi Athipathi Porutham
Raasi Athipathi Porutham is the fifth porutham in the set of 10 poruthams. For a marriage to be compatible, the stars of a boy and a girl and their respective lords must be friendly toward each other. If the lord of the boy’s birth star is not friendly with the lord of the girl’s birth star, marital harmony may not be sustained. On the other hand, if the lords are friendly, the couple is likely to experience a happy and smooth married life.
Planet Types:
- Friendly planets: Sunday, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter
- Unfriendly planets: Mercury, Venus, Saturn
- Enmity planets: Saturn, some other planets in enmity
After identifying the ruling lords of the boy and girl, their friendliness must be checked. In one case, one may be friendly, and the other may be hostile. This is considered partially compatible. If both the lords are friendly, the Rasi Athipathi Porutham is considered excellent.
