Kundli milan
The 36-point guna milan score for two charts, free — with the eight kootas broken out, because a total hides which of them actually moved it.
Start with the first person's details.
What guna milan actually measures
Ashtakoota guna milan compares eight attributes of two birth charts, drawn mostly from the position of the Moon, and adds them into a score out of 36. It is the number families ask for by name, and it is quoted far more often than it is explained.
The part that usually goes missing is that the eight are not worth the same. Nadi alone is eight points and varna is one, so two charts can differ on the thing classical practice weighs most heavily and still clear the conventional threshold — or agree on almost everything and fall below it.
| Koota | Points | What it compares |
|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | Temperament, and who defers to whom |
| Vashya | 2 | Mutual pull — who holds sway |
| Tara | 3 | How each birth star sits in the other's cycle |
| Yoni | 4 | Physical and instinctive compatibility |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Friendship between the two Moon-sign lords |
| Gana | 6 | Disposition — how each of you meets the world |
| Bhakoot | 7 | The distance between the two Moon signs |
| Nadi | 8 | Constitution. The heaviest single koota |
What this one does differently
Every koota is drawn as a bar to scale, so a koota worth eight points looks eight times a koota worth one. That single change makes the score readable — you can see at a glance whether the points went missing somewhere that matters.
Mangal dosha is checked on both charts rather than mentioned in passing, with the classical cancellations applied. Where nadi or bhakoot dosha is present, the standard exceptions are checked and stated — including when none of them apply, which is worth knowing accurately rather than softened.
And nothing here tells you whether to marry someone. That is not a calculation, and treating it as one is why this category is distrusted.
If you do not have their birth details
You can send a link instead. The other person adds their own birth details on their side, and you both land on the same result. Being asked for a kundli is the ordinary next step in a matchmaking conversation, so this is usually easier than collecting the details second-hand — and more accurate, because they are the one who knows their birth time.
What the score cannot see
Guna milan compares eight attributes drawn almost entirely from the position of the Moon in each chart. That is a narrow slice of two charts and a much narrower slice of two people. It has nothing to say about what either person wants from their life, how two families will behave, or whether the timing is right for either of them.
The periods each person is running are a more useful question than the total, and they are not part of the ashtakoota score at all. Two charts can match well and still belong to people who are each in the middle of a demanding dasha — which is a real thing to know and one no number out of 36 will tell you.
Use the score the way families have always usefully used it: to open a conversation, not to close one.
Common questions
Is kundli milan free here?
The full 36-point score is free, with every koota broken out, Mangal dosha checked on both charts, and the classical exceptions stated where they apply. There is no signup and nothing withheld from the score.
What is a good guna milan score?
Eighteen out of 36 is the conventional threshold and above 28 is generally read as strong. But which kootas produced the total matters more than the total, because they are weighted from 1 to 8.
Why does another site give a different score?
Two reasons. The classical tables genuinely differ between sources for some kootas — the half-sign splits in Vashya are contested — and different sites use different ayanamsas, which can place a Moon in a different nakshatra near a boundary and shift several kootas at once.
Do we both need to know our exact birth times?
For the guna milan score, usually not. Every koota reads from the Moon, which moves about thirteen degrees a day, so the date is normally enough. Birth time matters for the Mangal dosha check, because that counts houses from the lagna.
Can I ask the other person for their details without knowing them?
Yes. Choose the link option and they fill in their own birth details on their side. You both land on the same result, and nothing is shared until they do.
Does a low score mean the marriage will fail?
No. Guna milan compares two Moons against eight classical attributes. It is a screening tool families have long used to open a conversation, and it has no information about how two people actually are.
