Kundli Milan (Kundali Matching) is the Vedic astrology method of checking marriage compatibility by comparing the Moon-sign and Nakshatra of two people. It is more than a score — each koot examines a distinct layer of life together, from mental harmony to health and children.
The Ashtakoot system measures eight factors and awards a total of 36 gunas. 18+ points are considered acceptable, 24+ excellent. Our free tool computes the full Ashtakoot score alongside Mangal Dosha, Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha checks.
Ashtakoot
Each koot tests a specific dimension of compatibility. Together they sum to 36 gunas — 18 is acceptable, 24+ excellent.
Varna
Varna · 1 pts
Spiritual level + ego compatibility. Compares the inherent work-orientation of the two souls (Brahmin → Kshatriya → Vaishya → Shudra).
Vashya
Vashya · 2 pts
Mutual attraction and which partner naturally takes the lead. Based on the animal nature of the Moon-sign group.
Tara
Tara · 3 pts
Birth-star compatibility for health, longevity and shared prosperity. Counts Nakshatra distance from one partner to the other.
Yoni
Yoni · 4 pts
Physical and sexual compatibility. Each Nakshatra carries an animal symbol (yoni) — pairings are friendly, neutral, or enemy.
Graha Maitri
Graha Maitri · 5 pts
Mental and intellectual friendship. Friendship between the ruling planets of the two Moon-signs — the most weighted koot of the 8.
Gana
Gana · 6 pts
Temperament match. Deva (divine), Manushya (human), Rakshasa (intense) — same-gana matches score full; opposite-gana matches struggle.
Bhakoot
Bhakoot · 7 pts
Family welfare and finances after marriage. Counts the relative house-position between the two Moon-signs (1/7, 2/12, 5/9, etc.).
Nadi
Nadi · 8 pts
Health genetics and progeny. Aadi / Madhya / Antya (Vata/Pitta/Kapha constitution). Same-Nadi pairings lose all 8 points — most serious koot.
A 6-step walkthrough so you can interpret the score correctly, not just generate it.
Gather both birth details
You need each person's full name, exact date of birth, time of birth (as accurate as possible), and place of birth. The Moon's position changes every ~2.3 days — accurate inputs ensure the Ashtakoot score is precise.
Identify both Moon signs (Chandra Rashi)
Ashtakoot Guna Milan is based on the Moon's Rashi at birth — NOT the Sun sign. Our tool computes this automatically using the Swiss Ephemeris + Lahiri Ayanamsa.
Compute the 8 Kootas and total Gunas
Each of the 8 koots awards a different maximum: Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7, Nadi 8 — total of 36 gunas. 18+ is acceptable, 24+ is excellent, 28+ is outstanding.
Check for the three classical Doshas
Mangal Dosha (Mars in 1/2/4/7/8/12 from Lagna or Moon), Nadi Dosha (same Nadi between partners), and Bhakoot Dosha (negative relative positioning). All three have classical cancellation rules — many doshas don't apply if conditions match.
Read the verdict in context
A low score isn't a final rejection — it signals areas needing attention. Modern astrologers also look at Venus / Jupiter placement, the 7th house lord, and current Dasha before concluding. Use the score as a starting point, not the final word.

Common Questions
Guna Milan is the Vedic system of matching horoscopes for marriage. It evaluates 8 categories (Ashtakoot) — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — with a maximum of 36 gunas. A score of 18+ is considered acceptable; 28+ is excellent.
A minimum of 18 out of 36 gunas is required to consider a match acceptable. 18–23 is the most common range for Indian matches (acceptable with care for doshas). 24–28 is excellent compatibility. 29–36 is rare and indicates exceptional alignment across all koots.
Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners share the same Nadi (Aadi, Madhya, or Antya), costing all 8 Nadi points. Classical cancellation conditions include: both share the same Rashi but different Nakshatras, both belong to the same Gotra, or one of them is in their Janma Rashi at the time of matching. A qualified astrologer reviews these before concluding.
Mangal Dosha (Manglik) occurs when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna, Moon, or Venus. The dosha is often cancelled — when both partners have it, when Mars is in its own/exalted sign, with specific aspects of Jupiter, or when the affected house is occupied by certain planets. The presence alone is not a verdict.
No. A low Ashtakoot score signals areas that need attention, but modern astrologers consider the full birth chart — dasha periods, Venus/Jupiter placement, the 7th house lord, divisional charts — before concluding. Ashtakoot is one layer, not the only verdict.
For pure Ashtakoot (Moon-sign based), the date and approximate time are usually enough. For Mangal Dosha, Bhakoot Dosha and deeper chart analysis, exact birth time and place are strongly recommended — even a 15-minute error can shift the Moon's nakshatra and change the dosha calculations.
Our tool uses the exact classical Ashtakoot formulas used by traditional astrologers, so the numeric score is precise. What a skilled astrologer adds is interpretation — weighing chart context, remedies, dasha timing, and the specific marriage compatibility yogas. Start here for the score, then consult an expert for deeper guidance before any major decision.
