Nakshatra Compatibility

Nakshatra compatibility compares the birth stars (Moon nakshatras) of two partners on five Kutas: Nadi (8 points), Gana (6), Yoni (4), Tara (3) and Vasya (2), for a score out of 23. Of all 378 pairs, 25 rate Excellent (18+). It is one part of the full 36-point Gun Milan.

Last updated: · How we calculate: Kuta scores apply the classical Nadi, Gana, Yoni, Tara and Vasya rules to each nakshatra’s traditional attributes (no birth time needed); a personal match uses both partners’ full birth charts. Our methodology
