Add your partner's birth details to receive your personalised Gun Milan score — the same sacred 36-point system used by Jyotishis for marriage matching across generations.

How to use kundli matching

Kundli matching is checked in steps: enter both birth details, review the 8-koota gun milan score, examine each koota individually, screen for major doshas, and read the AI compatibility summary.

  1. Enter both partners' birth details. You need date, time (to the minute), and city for both partners. Time matters because it determines the nakshatra pada, which affects multiple kootas.
  2. Read the total gun milan score. The total is out of 36. Below 18 — insufficient. 18 to 24 — acceptable. 24 to 30 — good. 30 plus — excellent. Treat the total as a starting filter, not a verdict.
  3. Examine each of the 8 kootas individually. Open Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi one at a time. The high-weight kootas (Bhakoot 7 points, Nadi 8 points) carry the most consequence — a low total can be saved by strong Bhakoot/Nadi outcomes, and vice versa.
  4. Check for mangal dosha and other doshas. Look at whether Mars sits in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th in either chart. If yes, check if both are manglik (cancels) or if cancellation rules apply (Mars in own/exaltation sign, etc.).
  5. Look beyond gun milan for the full picture. Gun milan is moon-based and limited. Also check the 7th house and 7th lord in both charts, Venus and Mars placements, and whether the partners' dasha cycles support marriage in the planned period.
  6. Read the AI compatibility summary. Tap the AI explanation for a plain-English read of how the two charts harmonize, where friction may arise, and what remedies (if any) traditional Vedic astrology suggests.
Frequently asked

What is gun milan?

Gun milan (also called ashtakoota matching) is the traditional Vedic compatibility check used before marriage. It compares two birth charts on 8 attributes called kootas, scoring each on a fixed point value, for a maximum total of 36. Gun milan is calculated from the Moon nakshatra and Moon sign of the two charts.

What is a good gun milan score?

Below 18 is generally considered insufficient. 18 to 24 is acceptable. 24 to 30 is good. 30 and above is excellent. However, the total score alone is not enough — Bhakoot and Nadi koota outcomes are weighted heavily, and a high total with Nadi or Bhakoot dosha may still need remediation.

What are the 8 kootas?

Varna (1 point — work nature compatibility), Vashya (2 — mutual influence), Tara (3 — health and wellbeing), Yoni (4 — sexual and instinctive compatibility), Graha Maitri (5 — mental compatibility), Gana (6 — temperament), Bhakoot (7 — emotional and family bond), Nadi (8 — genetic and progeny health). Total: 36 points.

What is mangal dosha?

Mangal dosha (also called manglik dosha) occurs when Mars is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a birth chart. It's traditionally believed to cause friction in marriage. The dosha is canceled when both partners are manglik, when Mars is in its own or exaltation sign, or by other classical cancellation rules.

What is bhakoot dosha?

Bhakoot dosha is when the Moon signs of the two partners fall in 6/8, 9/5, or 12/2 axis from each other. It's traditionally considered to cause emotional and financial friction. Cancellation rules include same nakshatra lord, same sign Moon, or strong Jupiter aspect.

What is nadi dosha?

Nadi dosha occurs when both partners share the same nadi (Adi, Madhya, or Antya), which traditional Vedic astrology associates with progeny and genetic health. It's the highest-weighted koota at 8 points. Cancellations exist when both partners share the same Moon sign or same nakshatra (with different padas).

What does gun milan NOT measure?

Gun milan does not measure communication style, financial decisions, career compatibility, in-laws, or long-term emotional growth. It's a starting filter rooted in moon-based attributes — not a complete compatibility analysis. A full Vedic compatibility reading also looks at the 7th house, Venus and Mars positions, the dasha overlap, and synastry between full charts.

Do I need both birth times for kundli matching?

For full ashtakoota gun milan, you need both partners' birth date, time, and place — because the calculation depends on the exact Moon nakshatra. If one birth time is unknown, you can run a partial match using just the Moon sign, but several kootas (especially those needing nakshatra pada) will be less precise.
