Marriage Matching

Free Kundli Milan — Gun Matching

Kundli milan compares two birth charts on eight points — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — for 36 gun. A score of 18 or more is seen as a good match, and both charts are checked for Mangal dosh.

How does Ashtakoota gun milan work?

Each of the eight points checks a different part of togetherness: Varna is about nature, Vashya about influence on each other, Tara about the health of the bond, Yoni about closeness, Graha Maitri about thinking style, Gana about daily behavior, Bhakoot about emotional match, and Nadi about health and children. All eight add up to 36.

A high score helps, but old texts never judged a marriage on gun milan alone — the strength of the 7th house, Venus and Jupiter in both charts matters just as much.

What does a match result look like?

Your result shows the points earned in each koota, the total, and a Mangal dosh check for both charts. Here is a sample breakdown so you know exactly what to expect:

Milan deep dive

01

The eight kootas and where the 36 points live

Ashtakoota milan splits the 36 gun across eight checks. Varna, 1 point, looks at temperament and work attitude. Vashya, 2, at how each person influences the other. Tara, 3, at the health and luck of the bond. Yoni, 4, at physical closeness and instinct. Graha Maitri, 5, at how your minds and thinking styles meet. Gana, 6, at daily temperament — calm, fiery or restless. Bhakoot, 7, at emotional alignment and family prosperity. Nadi, 8, at health, temperament and progeny — the heaviest single weight. Notice the design: the checks that affect daily married life carry the most points, not the glamorous ones.

02

What a score of 18, 24 or 36 actually means

Out of 36, tradition draws lines at 18 and 24. Below 18 is traditionally read as a match needing a closer look; 18 to 24 is workable; 24 to 32 is considered strong; above 32 is rare enough that families celebrate it. But the total hides as much as it shows. A 25 with zero in Nadi reads very differently from a 25 spread evenly, because Nadi dosh carries classical exceptions that must be checked before it counts against you. The report shows the per-koota breakdown for exactly this reason: read the pattern first, the total second, and any single zero last — after checking its cancellation rules.

Mangal dosh in milan: the exception cases

Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house triggers the manglik check, but several placements soften or cancel it on their own. Mars in its own signs — Aries and Scorpio — or exalted in Capricorn loses its bite. An aspect from Jupiter acts like a protective hand on Mars. A chart can also be clean from the lagna yet flagged from the Moon or Venus, which is why single-source checks mislead. And the biggest exception is symmetry: when both charts carry manglik dosh, tradition considers it mutually matched and effectively cancelled. The tool flags the raw placement; the exceptions decide how much weight it deserves.

04

What milan cannot see

Honest limits: gun milan was designed as a pre-marriage filter, and it measures temperament compatibility, not love, effort or shared goals. It cannot see how either of you handles money conflict, in-laws or a job loss. It also cannot override a strong 7th house, a well-placed Venus, or a supportive running dasha — all of which a full reading weighs alongside the 36 points. Use the score as a conversation starter with your partner and family, not as a verdict. Many couples below 18 build happy marriages; many above 30 do not. The chart suggests the weather; the couple makes the climate.

Matching questions, answered

The Ashtakoota system scores 36 points across eight kootas. Traditionally 18 or above is considered a workable match; below that, astrologers look at cancellations (dosha samya) and the full charts before drawing any conclusion.
