36 gun milan: where every point comes from
The score out of 36, split into its eight parts, each in one plain sentence.
36 gun milan
The 36 gunas are the sum of eight kootas: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8. The heavier kootas, Nadi, Bhakoot and Gana, carry 21 of the 36 points between them, so they shape the total most.
A high score is pleasant and a low one is worth understanding, but neither decides anything for you. The tool shows the parts, the exceptions and, if a birth time is missing, the range the score could take.
How the 36 gunas add up
Eight kootas, each worth a little more than the one before. All eight come from where the Moon was when each of you was born.
| Koota | What it looks at | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Varna | Outlook and the way each of you works | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual pull, and who leads when | 2 |
| Tara | Wellbeing and timing, by counting the birth stars | 3 |
| Yoni | Physical and instinctive comfort | 4 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the Moon-sign lords: mental rapport | 5 |
| Gana | Temperament: deva, manushya or rakshasa | 6 |
| Bhakoot | Distance between the Moon signs: family life and money | 7 |
| Nadi | Constitution; the heaviest single koota | 8 |
Mangal dosha, calmly
Mangal dosha means Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the chart. That is six houses out of twelve, so about half of everyone has it.
Classical texts also list when it is cancelled: both partners having it, Mars in its own sign or exalted, Jupiter joining or aspecting Mars, and several sign and house pairings. The tool checks these and names the one that applies. It is a reason to look closer, never a verdict.
