Guna Milan — Kundli matching
Guna Milan — the Ashtakoot — is the heart of Vedic matchmaking: eight ‘kootas’ compared between two charts and scored out of 36. It reads compatibility on every level, from temperament and intimacy to health and destiny, and flags the two doshas that traditional astrologers weigh most heavily. Enter both sets of birth details for the full match — a birth time makes the Moon (and so the whole reading) precise.
Each person needs a birth date and place. A birth time also unlocks the ascendant for the Manglik check. Tradition reads the groom's and bride's charts in that order — it affects a couple of the kootas.
How Kundli matching works
Ashtakoota Milan scores eight "kootas" — qualities read from each person's Moon nakshatra and sign — out of a total of 36 gunas. Eighteen is the traditional minimum to proceed; 24+ is a good match, 32+ excellent. The Manglik (Mangal Dosha) check is read separately, from where Mars sits in each chart.
