How Guna Milan Is Calculated
Ashtakoota matching compares the Moon’s position in each partner’s birth chart. First, the tool converts each birth time to Universal Time and calculates the Moon’s tropical longitude. It then subtracts the Lahiri ayanamsa (about 24°) to get the sidereal position used in Vedic astrology. That position reveals the Moon sign (rashi, 30° each) and the nakshatra (13°20′ each) with its pada (3°20′).
Each nakshatra and rashi carries fixed attributes — varna, vashya, yoni animal, gana, nadi and a ruling planet. The eight kootas compare these attributes using the standard scoring tables, and the points add up to a maximum of 36:

Understanding your score
- Below 18: traditionally not recommended without a detailed chart review.
- 18 to 24: acceptable; check whether any important koota scored zero.
- 25 to 32: very good compatibility.
- 33 to 36: excellent — a rare and highly harmonious match.
Remember that a good marriage depends on far more than any score. Guna Milan is one traditional input among many. To learn more about each partner’s birth star, use the nakshatra finder or the Moon sign calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditionally, a score of 18 or more out of 36 is considered acceptable for marriage. Scores of 25–32 are very good and 33 or above is excellent. Families usually also look at the individual kootas, especially Nadi and Bhakoot.
Nadi dosha occurs when both partners share the same nadi (Adi, Madhya or Antya). It scores 0 of 8 points and is linked in tradition to health and progeny. Several cancellations exist, such as the same rashi with different nakshatras, or the same nakshatra with different padas.
Bhakoot dosha arises when the Moon signs of the couple are 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 places apart. It is commonly considered cancelled when both Moon signs share the same lord or their lords are friends.
The Moon moves through a whole nakshatra in about a day, so a few hours can change the nakshatra, pada and sometimes the rashi — and therefore the score. Use the most accurate time you have.
Yes, it follows the same North Indian Ashtakoota system using the Lahiri ayanamsa. Small differences can appear between websites because of slightly different tables or ayanamsa values, especially near nakshatra boundaries.
