Kundli milan

Traditionally 18 or more out of 36 is acceptable: 18 to 24 is average, 25 to 31 good and 32 or more excellent. A lower score is not a verdict: pandits look at the whole charts and the cancellations (parihara), and many families give equal weight to everything else they know about the couple.

Varna (1 point, temperament), Vashya (2, mutual attraction), Tara (3, wellbeing), Yoni (4, physical compatibility), Graha Maitri (5, friendship of the moon sign lords), Gana (6, nature), Bhakoot (7, emotional and family harmony) and Nadi (8, health and progeny). They add up to 36. For each koot we show both people’s values, the score and a short line on what it means for the two of you.

Nadi dosha means both people have the same Nadi (Adi, Madhya or Antya), which gives 0 of 8 points. Common cancellations: the same moon sign but different nakshatras, the same nakshatra but different moon signs, the same nakshatra in different padas, or both moon signs having the same lord. We show which of these apply.

Bhakoot dosha is when the two moon signs are 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 from each other. It is usually cancelled when both signs have the same lord or friendly lords, or the Moon’s navamsa lords are friends. Gana dosha is a Rakshasa gana with a Deva or Manushya gana; it is usually set aside when the moon sign lords are friends, or the groom’s nakshatra is beyond the 14th from the bride’s.

We look at Mars from the lagna (ascendant) and from the Moon. Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house is the usual Manglik rule. We also list common cancellations: Mars in its own sign or exalted, with Jupiter or aspected by Jupiter, with the Moon, certain sign and house pairs, both partners being Manglik, or Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu in the matching houses of the partner’s chart. Please treat it as information, not a reason to worry.

You can switch between the North Indian diamond chart and the South Indian square chart. Positions are sidereal with the Lahiri ayanamsa and mean Rahu and Ketu, with whole-sign houses from the lagna. We checked them against published AstroSage and Drik Panchang charts: planets agree to about 2 arcminutes and Vimshottari dasha dates to within 3 days.

Tick “Birth time not known” and we use 12 noon. The moon nakshatra, which drives most of the score, changes about once a day, so the guna milan usually stays the same. The lagna, houses and Manglik from the lagna need the time, so we leave them out and draw the chart from the Moon sign. If the Moon changed nakshatra that day, we say at what time, so you can tell which applies.
