Simha in marriage matching
- Rasi porutham — for a bride with Simha rasi, it matches when the groom's rasi is Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Simha, Kumbha (same rasi counts only with a different star).
- Vasya — Simha is vasya with Mesha, Tula.
- Bhakoot dosha (Ashtakoota) — Moon signs 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 apart: Simha with Mesha, Karka, Kanya, Dhanu, Makara, Meena. It is cancelled when the two sign lords are the same planet or mutual friends.
- Rasyadhipathi — compares the Sun with the lord of the partner's rasi: the same planet or mutual friends match, an enemy on either side fails, anything else is partial.
Matching here uses the birth stars only, with the rules AstroRealm applies (strict view: partial matches not counted). A full match also depends on the rasi and pada, which come from the exact birth time — check the full matching with both birth details, and consult an astrologer before deciding.
