Generate Chart How matching works ## Understanding Guna Milan Ashtakoota matching scores eight factors out of a total of 36 gunas. 1Varna Spiritual compatibility and the natural give-and-take of temperament between partners. 2Vashya Mutual attraction and the easy influence partners have on one another. 3Tara Birth-star compatibility -- a measure of health, fortune, and well-being together. 4Yoni Physical and instinctive compatibility, drawn from the symbolic animal of each nakshatra. 5Graha Maitri Mental and intellectual rapport, judged from the friendship of the chart rulers. 6Gana Temperamental harmony -- how the natural dispositions of the two charts blend. 7Bhakoot Emotional bond and shared direction in love, family, and prosperity. 8Nadi Genetic and energetic compatibility -- the koota with the most weight in the score. Higher is generally more harmonious, but the breakdown matters more than the total. ## Kundli matching questions What is Kundli matching? Kundli matching, or Guna Milan, compares two birth charts across eight traditional factors to gauge compatibility. It's one lens among many, not a verdict. What is a good matching score? A score of 18 or more out of 36 is traditionally considered favourable. But a single number never captures a whole relationship -- read the breakdown. Does Manglik dosha break a match? No. Mangal Dosha is common and very workable. When both partners share it, it's traditionally considered balanced, and gentle remedies exist either way. What if our score is low? A low score points to areas worth understanding, not a reason to walk away. Communication, shared values, and care matter far more than gunas. How accurate is this matching? The kootas are computed from each chart's real moon position and nakshatra using a precise ephemeris. The math is exact; the meaning is for you to weigh.
