Kundali Matching by Date of Birth

Out of 36, a total of 18 or more is the traditional passing mark, 24 to 32 is considered good, and above 32 is rare and excellent. The number alone is not the verdict: a zero in Nadi or Bhakoot is weighed separately even when the total is high, and Mangal Dosha is checked outside the 36 points.

Ashtakoot Guna Milan compares the two Moon positions across eight kootas worth 1 to 8 points each: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi. A full Kundali Milan then goes beyond the Moon: it compares the whole charts, house lords, the 7th house of each, Venus and Jupiter, and the dasha periods the couple will live through together.

Mangal Dosha (Manglik) is Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the birth chart. Classical practice holds that when both partners have it the dosha cancels, and that Mars in its own or exalted sign, or aspected by Jupiter, softens it. This page checks the house; the full reading weighs the sign and aspects.

Guna Milan uses the Moon's sign and nakshatra, and the Moon moves about one degree every two hours, so an approximate time usually gives the same nakshatra. The Mangal Dosha check needs the lagna, which does depend on the time. If the time is uncertain, treat the Manglik result as provisional.

Guna Milan is the 36-point nakshatra matching shown here, free. Kundali Milan on this site is the deeper chart-on-chart reading: Parashari overlays, Jaimini karakas, Upapada Lagna, Beeja and Kshetra, dasha timing, written as a ten-section report you can download as a PDF. It needs a free account and costs Karma.
