Kundli Matching

Kundli matching (Gun Milan) is a free Vedic compatibility check for marriage. It scores two birth charts across 8 Ashtakoot categories — totaling 36 Gunas — and checks Mangal, Nadi, and Bhakoot Dosha. A score of 18+ is generally acceptable; 25+ is good.

Last updated: · How we calculate: planet positions are computed astronomically (Swiss Ephemeris where enabled, otherwise an astronomy-library fallback), converted to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, using whole-sign houses. AI only explains the calculated chart. Our methodology

How is the Gun Milan score calculated?

Gun Milan compares the Moon's nakshatra and sign in both birth charts across 8 koots (Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8 points) and adds them into a score out of 36.

Kundli matching for marriage uses the Ashtakoot system, which evaluates 8 different aspects of life. Each aspect, or 'Koot', has a maximum point value, totaling 36 points (Gunas).

The 8 Categories of Ashtakoot Milan

Varna (1 Point)Ego and Work Compatibility
Vashya (2 Points)Dominance and Attraction
Tara (3 Points)Destiny and Luck
Yoni (4 Points)Physical Compatibility
Graha Maitri (5 Points)Mental and Social Bond
Gana (6 Points)Temperament and Behavior
Bhakoot (7 Points)Well-being and Prosperity
Nadi (8 Points)Health and Progeny

AI-Enhanced Matchmaking

While traditional Gun Milan is a great starting point, My Kundli AI goes further by using AI to analyze planetary relationships beyond just the Moon signs. We look at the 7th house (Marriage), Venus (Love), and Mars (Energy) to provide a nuanced relationship report that reflects modern life.

What does each of the 8 Ashtakoot factors measure?

Each of the 8 Koots in the Ashtakoot system tests a specific aspect of marital compatibility. Here is what each factor truly measures:

Varna (1 Point)

Tests spiritual compatibility and ego levels. Ranks the four varnas (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra) based on Moon sign groupings. Full points when the groom's varna is equal or higher.

Vashya (2 Points)

Measures mutual attraction and influence. Determines who has more natural pull in the relationship. Categories include Manav (human), Vanchar (wild), Chatushpad (quadruped), Jalachar (aquatic), and Keeta (insect).

Tara (3 Points)

Assesses destiny compatibility through birth star (Nakshatra) alignment. Counts Nakshatras from bride to groom and vice versa, checking for auspicious tara groups.

Yoni (4 Points)

Evaluates physical and sexual compatibility. Each Nakshatra is assigned an animal symbol, and compatibility is based on the natural relationship between these animals.

Graha Maitri (5 Points)

Tests mental and intellectual compatibility. Based on the friendship between the lords of the Moon signs. Friendly rulers indicate good mental rapport and communication.

Gana (6 Points)

Measures temperament match. Three categories: Deva (gentle), Manushya (moderate), and Rakshasa (aggressive). Same Gana is ideal; Deva-Rakshasa pairing scores zero.

Bhakoot (7 Points)

Assesses overall well-being, prosperity, and family harmony. Based on the Moon sign distance between partners. Certain combinations (2/12, 5/9, 6/8) reduce the score.

Nadi (8 Points)

The most crucial factor, testing health and progeny compatibility. Three Nadis: Aadi, Madhya, Antya. Same Nadi scores zero as it may indicate genetic or health challenges in offspring.

What is a good Gun Milan score?

0-17 PointsBelow the traditional threshold. Tradition advises a fuller chart review (Navamsa, doshas, dashas) before deciding; a low score is not a verdict on the relationship.
18-24 PointsAcceptable. Good foundation with some areas needing understanding and adjustment.
25-32 PointsVery good match. Strong compatibility across most dimensions of married life.
33-36 PointsExcellent match. Exceptional harmony — though remember, no chart guarantees a perfect relationship.

Remedies for Low Compatibility Scores

A low Gun Milan score does not mean the relationship is doomed. Vedic astrology provides several remedies (upay) that can help strengthen the bond:

  • Gemstone therapy based on weak planetary combinations
  • Specific mantras for strengthening Venus (love) and Jupiter (wisdom)
  • Muhurat selection — choosing an auspicious wedding date can compensate for chart weaknesses
  • Analyzing Navamsa (D9) chart for hidden compatibility strengths

Kundli Matching for NRI Couples

For couples born or living outside India, Kundli matching remains fully applicable. Key considerations:

  • Timezone accuracy: Birth time must be converted to the local timezone of the birth location, not India time
  • Daylight Saving Time: Countries with DST require careful adjustment — our calculator handles this automatically
  • Ayanamsa consistency: Both charts should use the same Ayanamsa (we use Lahiri, the Indian government standard)
  • Cross-cultural matching: Gun Milan works regardless of the couple's cultural background — it is based on astronomical positions, not cultural factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gun Milan / Kundli Milan?

Gun Milan (also called Kundli Milan or Ashtakoot Milan) is the traditional Vedic astrology method for checking marriage compatibility. It compares the Moon positions in both birth charts across 8 life categories (Ashta Koot), awarding up to 36 points (Gunas) total. A score of 18+ is considered acceptable for marriage.

How many points are needed for a good match?

Generally, a score of 18 or above (out of 36) is considered acceptable. A score between 25 and 32 is very good, and above 32 is excellent. However, Dosha checks — Mangal, Nadi, and Bhakoot — must also be reviewed separately since they can override a high score.

What is Mangal Dosha?

Mangal Dosha (Manglik Dosha) occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the birth chart. It is traditionally associated with challenges in married life, though many conditions cancel the Dosha (Dosha Bhanga). My Kundli AI checks all 6 classical cancellations from BPHS so you get a balanced view.

Can I do kundli matching by name and date of birth?

Yes — enter both partners' names, dates of birth, times, and birth places and the calculator will compute Moon-sign-based Gun Milan instantly. Accurate birth time improves precision (it determines the exact Nakshatra position of the Moon).

What is the difference between kundli matching and kundali matching?

'Kundli' and 'kundali' are different transliterations of the same Sanskrit word कुंडली (birth chart). Both refer to the same process. Regional spelling varies: North India typically uses 'kundli', South and West India often use 'kundali'. My Kundli AI accepts both.

Can marriages succeed with low Guna scores?

Astrology shows tendencies, not fixed destiny. A low score (below 18) highlights areas needing extra care — like temperament differences (Gana) or health (Nadi) — not a guaranteed outcome. Awareness, communication, and choosing an auspicious Muhurat can all help build a strong marriage.

How does online Kundli matchmaking work?

Enter both partners' birth details (date, time, place). My Kundli AI calculates exact Moon positions using Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa, then runs the full 8-factor Ashtakoot analysis, Mangal Dosha check, Bhakoot and Nadi Dosha check, and generates an AI-written compatibility summary.

Is online Kundli matchmaking accurate?

Calculation accuracy depends on birth details: date, time (ideally to the minute), and place. My Kundli AI uses Swiss Ephemeris — the same engine used by professional Jyotish software. The Ashtakoot score follows classical rules; it summarizes traditional compatibility factors and is a guide, not a guarantee.

What is Nadi Dosha and how serious is it?

Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners share the same Nadi (Aadi, Madhya, or Antya) — the highest-weighted factor at 8 points. It traditionally relates to health of offspring and genetic compatibility. However, several Dosha cancellations exist; My Kundli AI checks these automatically.
