This kundli matching tool compares two birth charts and scores their compatibility the way a practitioner works through a marriage proposal. It runs the full eight-koota Ashtakoot system for the thirty-six point Guna Milan score, then goes past the points to weigh the factors the score leaves out, including Rajju, Vedha, Mahendra, Stree Deergha, the constellation check, and the condition of the seventh house and ascendant in both charts. It also reads Mangal Dosha on each side and reports whether the two charts balance it. Every position runs on the Lahiri ayanamsa with sidereal longitudes, the same configuration as Jagannatha Hora, so the moon signs, nakshatras, and ganas line up with what the software itself would show. Enter both sets of birth details below and you get the koota by koota breakdown, the total score, the Mangal Dosha position for each person, and the additional compatibility checks on one page.
What the matching report covers
The thirty-six points come from eight kootas, each testing a different layer of compatibility and carrying a different weight. The tool calculates all eight from the two moon signs and birth stars.
Varna, worth one point, reads the spiritual and working temperament of each person. Vashya, worth two, looks at the natural pull and influence each one has on the other. Tara, worth three, compares the two birth stars for health and fortune. Yoni, worth four, reads instinctive and physical compatibility through the animal symbol of each star. Graha Maitri, worth five, weighs the friendship between the two moon sign lords for mental and emotional affinity. Gana, worth six, compares the temperament grouping of each star, whether deva, manushya, or rakshasa. Bhakoot, worth seven, reads the relationship between the two moon signs for the wellbeing of the household. Nadi, worth eight and the highest weighted of the set, reads constitutional compatibility.
Each koota has its own page if you want the detail behind a particular score. Start with Varna and spiritual temperament, then Vashya and mutual attraction, Tara and birth star compatibility, Yoni milan, Graha Maitri and planetary friendship, and Gana and the deva, manushya, rakshasa grouping. The full method, with how each koota is scored and where the weighting comes from, is set out in the Ashtakoot Guna Milan guide.
Beyond the thirty-six points
A Guna Milan score is a screening step, and on its own it misses things that matter. The tool adds the checks a careful astrologer runs before reading much into the number. Rajju looks at where each birth star falls on its body grouping, read for the steadiness of the bond. Vedha checks for star pairs that obstruct each other. Mahendra and Stree Deergha are supportive factors, read for the wellbeing of the marriage and the household. The constellation check flags birth star combinations that ask for extra care. The tool also compares the seventh house and the ascendant across the two charts and gives a measured read of temperament and energy. None of these overrides the score on its own. Each one fills in part of the picture the points leave flat.
How to read your score
As a rough guide, a total below eighteen is usually treated as weak, eighteen to twenty four as workable, twenty four to thirty two as good, and above thirty two as very good. Read these as bands rather than a pass or fail line. A high score is a comfortable starting point, and a moderate score is common in perfectly sound matches.
A low score is not a verdict on the relationship. Two of the heavier kootas, Bhakoot and Nadi, carry recognised cancellation conditions, and where those apply the apparent problem often falls away. This is why the report shows the exceptions it finds rather than only the raw total. If Nadi or Bhakoot reads zero, read the guides on Nadi dosha and Bhakoot dosha before drawing any conclusion, since both explain when the dosha stands and when it is cancelled.
Mangal Dosha in both charts
The report checks Mangal Dosha, often called being Manglik, for each person from the position of Mars, and reports whether the two charts balance each other. Being Manglik is a common placement and carries cancellation conditions of its own, including the case where both partners share it. The Mangal Dosha guide covers how it is judged and the situations that soften or cancel it.
What it can and cannot tell you
Kundli matching is a screening tool that points to where two people are likely to find ease and where they may need patience. It is good at surfacing themes worth discussing early. It cannot measure love, effort, or the choices two people make together, and a score should never be the sole reason to accept or reject a proposal. For anything close to a decision, take the result to a practitioner who can read both charts in full rather than leaning on the points alone. If you have ever wondered why two online matching tools give different scores for the same couple, the note on online kundli matching problems explains what these calculators tend to leave out.
Frequently asked questions
Is this kundli matching free?
Yes. You can run as many matches as you like at no cost.
What is Ashtakoot Guna Milan?
Ashtakoot, also written Gun Milan, is the eight-part compatibility method of Vedic astrology. It compares the two birth stars and moon signs across eight kootas and totals them out of thirty-six. The tool calculates all eight and shows the breakdown.
How many gunas should match for marriage?
Eighteen out of thirty-six is the figure most often quoted as the workable minimum, with anything above twenty four considered good. These are guidelines rather than fixed rules, and the additional checks and any cancellations matter as much as the headline number.
What if Nadi dosha or Bhakoot dosha shows in the result?
Both have recognised cancellation conditions, which the report flags where they apply. A zero on either koota is a prompt to read the situation carefully, not a conclusion on its own. The Nadi dosha and Bhakoot dosha guides explain when each one stands and when it is cancelled.
Does it check Mangal Dosha?
Yes. It judges Mangal Dosha, or Manglik status, for both people from the position of Mars and reports whether the charts balance it. Cancellation conditions are common, including when both partners carry it.
Do I need exact birth times for both people?
The moon sign, nakshatra, and the eight kootas depend on the moon, which moves about one sign every two and a quarter days, so a reasonably accurate time is enough for the Guna Milan score. The ascendant and seventh house checks are more time sensitive, so enter both times as closely as you can.
Is a low score a rejection?
No. A score points to where two people may find things easy and where they may need to work, and it reads alongside any cancellations and the wider chart. Many sound marriages show moderate scores. Use it to understand a match, not to dismiss a person.
Can it tell me if the marriage will be happy?
It shows compatibility tendencies and areas worth attention, not a fixed outcome. Astrology can describe conditions and timing. It cannot account for the effort and choices two people bring, which is why a matching report is a starting point for a conversation rather than a forecast.
Does it match the same as Jagannatha Hora?
It uses the Lahiri ayanamsa with sidereal positions, the same as Jagannatha Hora, so the moon signs, nakshatras, ganas, and koota scores line up with the software.
Can I use it if one birth time is unknown?
You can still get a meaningful Guna Milan score, since the kootas rest on the moon rather than the ascendant. The seventh house and ascendant comparison will be less reliable without an accurate time, so treat those parts as provisional.
