The quick answer

Kundli matching, also called Guna Milan, compares the Moon positions of two birth charts across eight factors (the Ashtakoot system) and gives a score out of 36. A score of 18 or more is traditionally seen as acceptable. Astrologers also check Mangal dosha, the 7th house and the dasha periods of both people before drawing any conclusion.

Kundli Matching for Marriage: Why Families Use It

In Vedic tradition, marriage is a bond between two families as much as two people. Kundli matching is a way to look at temperament, health, family harmony and long-term understanding before that step. Used well, it opens a conversation about strengths and areas to work on. It is not a test that one couple passes and another fails.

How Kundli Matching Online Works

You enter the date, time and place of birth for both people. We build each person's chart, take the Moon sign and nakshatra, and score the match on eight factors, called kootas.

The eight kootas of Guna Milan and their points
Koota	Points	What it looks at
1Varna	1	Work style and ego compatibility
2Vashya	2	Mutual attraction and influence
3Tara	3	Health and well-being of the couple
4Yoni	4	Physical and intimate compatibility
5Graha Maitri	5	Mental friendship and understanding
6Gana	6	Temperament and nature
7Bhakoot	7	Emotional bond, family and prosperity
8Nadi	8	Health and family line
Total	36

What your score means

Score out of 36Below 18: Traditional readingChallenges to look at carefully
Score out of 3618 to 24: Traditional readingAcceptable match
Score out of 3625 to 32: Traditional readingGood match
Score out of 3633 to 36: Traditional readingVery good match

These bands are a common rule of thumb, not a law. Different families and astrologers weigh them differently, which is why we explain each factor instead of showing only the number.

Beyond the 36 points

A good astrologer looks past the score. Your report also covers:

Mangal (Manglik) dosha: whether either person has it, and whether it is balanced or cancelled
7th house and Navamsha: the strength of each chart's marriage houses
Dasha periods: whether both people are in supportive phases around the time of marriage
Nadi and Bhakoot dosha: if either shows, whether a cancellation applies

None of these is a final verdict. Many couples with a low score or a dosha have happy marriages, because the chart is one input among many.

Kundli Matching by Name: When You Do Not Have a Birth Date

If you only have names, matching is possible but less exact. In the traditional name-based method, the first syllable of each person's name is linked to a Moon sign and nakshatra, and the Guna Milan is scored from that. It can give a rough idea, but a name is not a birth time, so the result is less reliable than a match from full birth details.

For a dependable result, use the date, time and place of birth for both people. A birth certificate or hospital record is the best source.

Plain-language summary

Full points on 6 of the 8 factors: Varna, Vashya, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana and Nadi.

Worth talking about together: Tara (health and well-being of the couple). A lower score here is a point for discussion, not a verdict.

Nadi	Health and family lineadi and antya	8 / 8

Doshas and cancellations: Bhakoot dosha present; traditionally cancelled by mutual friendship of rashi-lords. The cancelled points are counted in the score.
Manglik: Partner A (groom): Mars in house 1 from the lagna; Mars in house 4 from Venus. Partner B (bride): Mars in house 12 from the lagna, traditionally cancelled (Mars is aspected by Jupiter). Both have Mars in a Manglik position, which is often seen as balanced.

Sample calculation for illustration, not a real couple. Calculated in your browser with the Lahiri ayanamsa and the standard Ashtakoot tables (panchang-ts), counting from the groom to the bride as tradition does. Manglik is checked from the lagna, the Moon and Venus. A score is a point for discussion, not a verdict.

What this match means

You scored 34.5 out of 36, which is a "Very good match" in the traditional Guna Milan bands. You two connect naturally in work style and ego compatibility, mutual attraction and influence and physical and intimate compatibility. These are good foundations to build a happy life on.

Things to talk about

The area to talk about openly is Tara (health and well-being of the couple). A lower score here is simply a point to understand each other better, not a verdict. Traditional cancellations also soften the doshas that appear. You both have Mars in a Manglik position, which is often seen as balanced. In the end, a happy marriage depends most on trust, respect and how well you talk to each other.

What Astrology Can and Cannot Tell You

Kundli matching for marriage is a tradition, not a science, and no score can predict whether two people will be happy together. Please do not end a relationship or reject a proposal only because of a number. Trust, communication, shared values and family support matter far more. We offer this report as a point for discussion, and where it raises concerns, a talk with an astrologer you trust can help. Only enter details for people who know you are doing this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is kundli matching?

Kundli matching, or Guna Milan, compares the birth charts of two people, mainly their Moon signs and nakshatras, across eight factors and gives a score out of 36. It is used in Vedic tradition to look at compatibility before marriage.

How many points are needed in kundli matching?

A score of 18 or more out of 36 is traditionally seen as acceptable, 25 or more as good and 33 or more as very good. These are rules of thumb, and many couples do well with scores outside them.

Is kundli matching online as good as visiting an astrologer?

The calculation is the same, so the score will match what an astrologer finds from the same birth details. An astrologer adds judgement, such as weighing doshas and cancellations, which is why we also offer a consultation.

Is kundli matching by name accurate?

It is less accurate than matching by date of birth. The name-based method links the first syllable of a name to a Moon sign and nakshatra, so it gives a rough guide only. Use full birth details when you have them.

Is kundli matching for marriage free?

The core matching report is free. You do not need a credit card to see your score. New users get 3 free Oracle questions and 3 free Astra questions.

Can a marriage go ahead if the score is below 18?

Yes. A low score is a reason to look closely at which factors are low and whether cancellations apply. It is not a ban. Many couples with low scores have happy marriages, and families should also weigh trust, values and communication.

What are Nadi dosha and Bhakoot dosha?

Nadi dosha is traditionally linked to two people sharing the same Nadi, and Bhakoot dosha to certain Moon-sign pairings. Both have cancellation rules, and the report tells you if a cancellation applies.

Does Mangal dosha mean I cannot marry a non-Manglik?

No. Mangal dosha is judged with the rest of the chart and has several cancelling factors. If both people are Manglik, it is often seen as balanced. An astrologer can explain how it applies to you.

Do both birth times need to be exact?

Most of the Guna Milan depends on the Moon, which moves slowly, so a time that is off by an hour or two rarely changes the score. An exact time matters more for the Manglik check and the house-based parts of the report.

Can I talk to a person about our match?

Yes. After your report, you can book a consultation with one of our astrologers.

Is our birth data safe?

Yes. We use birth details only to prepare your reading, and we do not share them with anyone. To ask for your data to be deleted, email sarathi@astrovoice.ai.
