Guna milan

Guna milan is the scoring part of kundli matching. Each of the eight kootas carries a fixed number of gunas, from 1 for Varna to 8 for Nadi, and the two Moon positions decide how many are earned.

Two couples can both score 24 for very different reasons. That is why each koota here gets its own line, and why a 0 in Nadi or Bhakoot comes with the exceptions classical texts allow.

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.

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.

Questions people ask

Is guna milan the same as kundli milan?

Almost. Guna milan is the 36-point score; kundli milan is the wider comparison, which practitioners read with both full charts, including Mangal dosha and the 7th house.

How many gunas should match?

Many families look for 18 or more out of 36. We do not use a pass mark: the same total can hide a full Nadi or an empty one, so the tool shows each koota with what it means and the exceptions tradition allows.

Can I match kundlis without the birth time?

Yes. The kootas depend on the Moon's nakshatra, which changes about once a day. Without a time we follow the Moon through the whole birth day, show the range the score could take and name the kootas that are less certain.

What is Mangal dosha, and should we worry?

It means Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house, which is true for about half of all charts. Classical texts list many cancellations, such as both partners having it; the tool checks them and explains. It is a reason to look closer, never a verdict.

Do you store what I type?

No. The free match is worked out and shown to you; nothing is saved. If you share it, the link keeps first names and the score only, never birth details, and stops working after 30 days.

What is in the detailed Match Report?

Both charts drawn side by side, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and the 7th house for each of you, the navamsa, and the eight kootas, as a PDF in English, Hindi or Marathi.
