Free Kundali Matchmaking & Guna Milan — Vedic Compatibility Calculator

Vedic kundali matchmaking — known as Guna Milan in Sanskrit — compares two birth charts to predict marital harmony. Unlike Western sun-sign compatibility, Guna Milan relies on the Moon's Nakshatra (lunar mansion) at the time of birth, which carries far more nuanced information than the solar zodiac alone.

The system evaluates eight distinct dimensions of compatibility — called koots or ashtakoot — each worth a different number of points. They sum to a maximum of 36, and traditionally a marriage was only solemnised when the score crossed a minimum threshold.

Each koot is calculated from the relationship between the two Moon positions. For example, Nadi is derived from the Nakshatra group, and Bhakoot compares the positional distance between Moon signs. The math is deterministic — what requires interpretation is the cumulative meaning of the score plus the doshas.

The 36-point Ashtakoot total is binned into four traditional bands. The thresholds below are the conservative interpretation followed by most classical astrologers — your family astrologer may use a slightly different cutoff, but 18 is the universally accepted minimum.

Important caveat: the raw score is not the final word. A 30-point match with an unresolved Nadi Dosha can be worse than a 22-point match with no doshas. Always weigh the score against the dosha analysis and, ideally, an astrologer's reading of the full chart.

An online calculator gives you the math — the points, the doshas, the cancellations. What it cannot give you is judgement. If your Guna Milan score is below 18, or if there is an unresolved Nadi Dosha or hard Mangal Dosha that doesn't cancel by the standard rules, you are not necessarily "incompatible" — but you do need a human astrologer to read the full chart context.

A trained astrologer will look at dasha periods, the navamsa (D9) divisional chart, the strength of the 7th house lord, and any raja yogas or dosha bhanga yogas that the Ashtakoot system simply doesn't capture. Anantrix gives you the math precisely. For the interpretation layer, treat the tool as a screening step — not a verdict.
