The Monday falls in Shukla Pasha, the sign in which the moon rises and Ashtavarga or Hora of Chandra are the most valid time for doing any rites or business. Under this method, the Krishna Paksha is exempted from all. In case of marriage time fixation, the time of moon rise shall be exclusively exempted especially seventh and eight bhava of Muhurta Rashi.

Now-a-days, debates are going on, on several occasions regarding veracity of match making and malefic combinations in horoscope. According to Astrology match-making is indispensable to have an idea of the character of the bride and bride groom. Generally man is the mixture of complexities wherein the peculiarity of inborn mannerisms and difference in opinion will be the decisive factor ever in human life. As the practical does not have re-takes, Jyotisha specifically renders more importance to female than male before the marriage. Knowing the real nature of the couple becomes supportive to take precautions for adjusting the life with give-and-take policy. As per the versification of Madhavacharya, the symptoms of female character have been obviously told for the purpose of evaluation of the natal chart in terms of the position of the moon.

In a female horoscope, if the marriage occurs while the Sun is posited at the 7^th bhava of the moon ascendant, she may be given up by the bridegroom.

If the 7^th bhava possesses either Mars or Mercury, there are ample chances for the separation or life becomes unsuccessful. If the moon gets aspected and becomes a combination of malefics, the bride will be sinful. The same rule is applicable to male also. If the 2^nd bhava is owned with banefics and the 8^th bhava possesses malefics and if the marriage occurs during that time, it is likely to result in the death of the bride.

Another verse substantiates that if the position of the moon is in Virgo or Scorpio, the native should be having low progenies. If the moon is owned at 5^th or 9^th bhava, there is no room for having inheritors at all. Contemplation of Trimshamshaka results are well applicable in case of Natal Charts, Temporal Prashna and similarly in Muhurta.

The instance rule is exclusively applicable to female.

If the moon is located at the signs of Mars (Aries and Scorpio) and consecutively fall into Trimshamshaka of Mars, the bride will be abused, resulting in disgrace to the race. If it is in Trimshamshaka of Saturn, she becomes mortified with enslavement or eunuch.

If it becomes the sign of Mercury, she becomes incognito and Venus Trimshamshaka is causative for sinful deceit. If the location becomes the sign of Jupiter, she will be the most respectful.
