Calculating the match…
What Kundli Matching (Guna Milan) actually is
Kundli matching, or Guna Milan, is the traditional Vedic method of checking compatibility between two people for marriage. The most widely used system is Ashtakoot Milan — eight "kootas" or factors, scored out of a total of 36 points. Each koota looks at a different dimension: Varna (ego and spiritual balance), Vashya (mutual influence), Tara (well-being), Yoni (instinctive compatibility), Graha Maitri (mental friendship), Gana (temperament), Bhakoot (emotional bond), and Nadi (health and progeny, weighted most heavily at eight points).
This free tool calculates each person's Moon sign and birth nakshatra using the sidereal zodiac and the Lahiri ayanamsa, then scores all eight kootas and gives you a total out of 36 — the same first screen an astrologer begins with.

Why the score is only the beginning
Here is the honest part that the calculators rarely say plainly: Guna Milan is a starting point, not a verdict. It is built only on the Moon's nakshatra and sign. A complete marriage assessment weighs both people's full birth charts, the 7th house and its lord, the roles of Venus and Jupiter, Mangal (Manglik) and other dosha, and the timing of dashas. A low score does not doom a marriage, and a high score does not guarantee one — many happy marriages have a moderate Guna count. This is exactly why a calm, complete reading with an experienced astrologer is worth far more than a single number, and why Dr. R.P. Sharma reads the whole picture, without fear or superstition.
Questions about Kundli matching
What is a good Guna Milan score?
18 and above is generally considered favourable, and 28+ is excellent. Below 18 is not a rejection — it simply means more of the picture should be read carefully in both full charts.
Is Guna Milan enough to decide a marriage?
No. It is a respected first screen based only on the Moon. The full charts, dosha checks and timing matter far more, and a number should never decide a marriage on its own.
What is Nadi dosha?
Nadi carries the most points (8 of 36). When both partners share the same Nadi those points aren't scored — called Nadi dosha. It is taken seriously, but is often subject to exceptions that only a careful reading can establish, so it should be understood calmly, not feared.
Do you store our birth details?
The match is calculated entirely in your browser. Your details are not posted anywhere by this tool.
This free tool is provided for general understanding only and is not a substitute for a complete consultation. A favourable or low score is indicative, not final; a full reading of both charts gives the true picture.
The kundli, PDF report and matching are free; a full personal consultation with Dr. Sharma is a flat Rs 5,100.

On the 36-point Ashtakoot scale, 18 and above is generally considered favourable, and 28 and above is excellent. But a score below 18 does not mean a match is wrong — many happy marriages have a moderate score, because real compatibility depends on far more than these eight Moon-based factors. A complete reading of both full charts gives the true picture.
Is Guna Milan enough to decide a marriage?
No. Guna Milan is a respected first screen based only on the Moon's nakshatra and sign. A complete assessment also considers both full birth charts, the 7th house, Venus and Jupiter, Manglik and other dosha, and the timing of dashas. A number should never decide a marriage on its own — an honest personal reading should.
What is Nadi dosha?
Nadi is the most heavily weighted koota (8 of 36 points). When both partners share the same Nadi, those points are not scored, which is called Nadi dosha. It is taken seriously in tradition, but it is often subject to exceptions and cancellations that only a careful reading of both charts can establish — so it should be understood calmly, not feared.
Can kundli matching be done if the exact birth time is not known?
Yes — tick "Don't know the time" for either or both partners. All 8 kootas (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi) are based on the Moon’s nakshatra and rashi, which are reliable from date and place alone. Only the accompanying Manglik dosha check needs the exact time, since that depends on the ascendant (lagna) — the report notes clearly wherever exact time would sharpen a result.
Is kundli matching here free and without login?
Yes. Unlimited kundli matching with the full 36-point Ashtakoot guna milan, manglik dosha and nadi dosha analysis — no signup, no login, no registration and no hidden charges, with instant results.
Is this the same as jathaka porutham or star matching?
Yes. Kundli milan, guna milan, jathaka porutham, star or nakshatra matching and vivah milan all refer to Vedic marriage compatibility matching — this tool performs the classical 36-guna Ashtakoot analysis with dosha checks.
How many gunas should match for marriage?
Traditionally 18 or more out of 36 is considered acceptable, 24+ is good and 28+ is excellent — but nadi, bhakoot and manglik findings matter as much as the raw score, which is why the report explains each koota.
What is a good Guna Milan score?
Guna Milan scores out of 36. Eighteen or above is generally treated as workable, 25 and above as strong, and below 18 as needing closer examination rather than as a refusal. The score is a starting point, not a verdict — Mangal dosha, the condition of the 7th house and its lord, and the running dasha in both charts all matter more than the number.
Do you store our birth details?
No. The matching runs in your own browser — the birth dates and times you enter are not sent to this site or saved anywhere. The one thing that does leave your browser is the place name you type, which is looked up to find its coordinates. Nothing is stored against you, and no account or signup is required.
How do I find a suitable partner through free kundli matching?
Kundli matching does not find a partner; it examines a proposed pair. Enter both sets of birth details and the tool returns the Guna Milan breakdown across all eight kootas, so you can see which areas agree and which do not. Treat a low score as a question to investigate rather than an answer, and read it alongside the 7th house and the current dasha.
What is the significance of matching kundlis for marriage?
Traditionally it is a compatibility check across eight areas — temperament, health, longevity, mental affinity and so on — done before a proposal is settled. Its value is in surfacing specific tensions early, so they can be discussed rather than discovered later. It was never meant to be the sole basis for a decision, and a chart cannot tell you whether two people will treat each other well.
Can a person's horoscope predict their success in marriage?
It can describe the conditions, not decree the outcome. The 7th house and its lord, Venus and Jupiter, and the dasha running at the time of marriage all indicate the shape of the partnership and when it is likely to settle. What no chart can tell you is whether two people will be kind to each other — that is conduct, and it is not written in the planets.
What is Vedic kundli and how does it differ from Western astrology?
A Vedic kundli is cast on the sidereal zodiac, measured against the fixed stars, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac tied to the equinoxes. The two drift apart by roughly 24 degrees, which is why your Vedic Sun sign is often the previous one. Vedic practice also leans on the Moon and nakshatra rather than the Sun, and on the Vimshottari dasha system for timing — which Western astrology has no direct equivalent of.
How do I determine if an astrologer is genuine and experienced?
Ask which classical text they read from and listen to whether the answer is specific. Ask them to name the houses and the dasha behind a statement, not just the conclusion. A genuine reading explains its reasoning in terms you can check against your own chart. Treat as a warning sign anyone who guarantees outcomes, quotes a large sum to remove a dosha, or pressures you toward an expensive remedy.
What is the role of the Moon in kundli matching?
The Moon is the foundation of the whole exercise. Guna Milan is computed from the Moon's nakshatra in each chart, not from the Sun sign, and the Moon also governs temperament and emotional response — which is what compatibility is largely about. Two of the eight kootas, Bhakoot and Nadi, weigh the heaviest and both come from the Moon's placement.
Can astrological remedies help improve a troubled marriage?
Remedies can steady a difficult period; they cannot repair a relationship on their own. Classical remedies here are mantra, daan and disciplined conduct, and their honest value is in how they change the person practising them. If there is cruelty or abuse in a marriage, no remedy addresses it — that needs people, not planets, and often professional help.
What is the importance of the 7th house in kundli matching?
The 7th house is the house of partnership, so its condition, its lord, and any planet sitting in or aspecting it describe the marriage more directly than the Guna score does. A high Guna total with an afflicted 7th house is weaker than a modest total with a sound one — which is why the number alone should never settle the question.
