What is Kundli Matching? #
Kundli Matching, also known as Guna Milan, is a time-honored Vedic astrology process used to assess compatibility between two individuals. Traditionally performed before marriage, it compares eight key dimensions (known as Ashta Koota) to evaluate how two energies align on physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional levels.
In North India, this process is known as the Ashtakoota system. "Ashta" meaning eight, and "Koota" meaning dimension. Each Koota reflects one layer of compatibility, and together they form a total score out of 36.
At its heart, Kundli Matching asks: "Can two life paths truly walk together?"
Types of Kundli Matching #
1. Kundli Matching by Name #
This method compares the nakshatra syllables (sound vibrations) of your names. It’s useful when full birth details aren’t available and gives a basic Guna Milan score based on Moon signs.
2. Kundli Matching by Birth Chart #
Also known as “Janam Patrika Matching”, this is the classical, most accurate method. It uses your date, time, and place of birth to generate a full compatibility map, including Gunas, Doshas, planetary aspects, and timing.

Relates to long-term stability and shared direction.
Will your energies match in everyday life?Nadi (8 points)
Focuses on life force, health, and childbirth potential.
Do your energies flow together or clash deeply?
A perfect match scores 36. A score above 18 is considered acceptable, but better compatibility often begins with a score of 24+.
But what if our score is below 18?
A low score doesn't mean rejection. Many strong, lasting relationships have low Guna scores but thrive through communication and shared purpose.
What to look at apart from your score? #
Navamsa Chart (D9) #
Often called the "soul-level marriage chart," the Navamsa reveals the emotional style of your relationship, your deeper marriage karma, and the kind of partner your soul is drawn to.
Planetary Periods (Dasha) #
Even a strong bond can feel out of sync if one partner is undergoing a difficult phase like Saturn–Ketu Dasha. We interpret your current Dasha and what it means for your relationship.
Moon and Venus Placements #
These two planets reveal how you love, how you feel secure, and how you show care. We read them to help you understand your emotional chemistry.
Types of Doshas Important For Your Kundli #
Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is placed in certain houses in the birth chart. It can indicate intensity, impatience, or emotional volatility in relationships. When balanced, it can bring passion and courage, but left unchecked, it may create friction or power struggles.
Bhakoot Dosha reflects how the Moon signs of two people relate to each other. It can affect emotional harmony, daily life rhythm, and prosperity. A Bhakoot mismatch doesn't mean the bond won't work; it simply needs mutual understanding and practical balance.
Nadi represents health, life force, and fertility. If both partners have the same Nadi, it can suggest energetic imbalance. However, exceptions and cancellation rules apply, which Vaya accounts for.
Why Guna Matching Still Matters? #
Today, couples often lead with emotion or logic.
Vedic astrology invites you to lead with alignment.
Guna Milan is not about judgment. It is about reflection. When done with clarity and care, it reveals:
Where your energies connect
Where they might clash
And what you can build together
It brings awareness to emotional rhythm, sexual energy, shared values, and karmic growth, helping you approach your relationship with insight, not just instinct.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Match Kundli for Marriage?
Kundli matching compares two birth charts across 8 parameters totaling 36 points. A minimum score of 18/36 is needed for marriage compatibility. The most important factor is Nadi (8 points), followed by Gana (6 points) and Bhakut (7 points)
What is a good Guna Milan score for marriage?
Minimum 18 out of 36 Gunas should match. 18-24 is decent, 25-32 is good, and 33-36 is excellent. Below 18 Gunas means marriage is not recommended. Nadi Guna (8 points) is most crucial in Kundli matching.
Is Kundli Matching Important?
Yes, it predicts marriage compatibility by analyzing mental, physical and spiritual harmony between partners. It identifies potential challenges and focuses especially on Nadi matching (8 points) which indicates health compatibility.
What is Bhakoot in Kundli Matching?
Bhakoot is one of the 8 key Gunas carrying 7 points. It indicates compatibility in daily life, wealth potential, and harmony in routine activities between partners.
What if Bhakoot score is 0?
If the lords of the moon signs are friendly, a 0 Bhakoot score is effectively negated. If Bhakoot dosh is present (a score of zero), its negative effects can be cancelled if the partners have good Grah Maitri (lords of the moon signs are friendly). This is because Grah Maitri signifies a strong emotional and mental compatibility, which acts as a buffer against the disharmony indicated by the Bhakoot dosh
What is Nadi Dosh?
If the Nadi of both partners is the same, 0 points are given, and Nadi Dosh is present. You can find remedies for Nadi Dosh here.
Can we marry if Guna Milan score is low?
While traditionally 18+ points are recommended, consider:
- Which specific gunas are matching/not matching
- Other astrological factors beyond Guna Milan
- Overall horoscope compatibility
- Modern relationship dynamics
Some couples with lower scores but strong emotional connections and understanding have successful marriages. We recommend detailed chart analysis beyond just Guna Milan.
