Kundli Milan compares the Moon signs and birth stars of two people using the Ashta Koota system. Each of the eight kootas looks at a different side of married life, and together they add up to 36 points.
What is a good score?
As a broad rule, 18 or more is considered acceptable, 24 or more is very good, and 28 or more is excellent. But the total alone is never the full story — a high score with Nadi dosha can be weaker than a moderate score without it.
The doshas to look at first
Nadi (8 points) and Bhakoot (7 points) carry the most weight. Classical texts also list exceptions: for example, Nadi dosha is considered cancelled when both partners share the same Moon sign but different nakshatras. A full report checks these cancellations before giving a verdict.
Beyond Guna Milan
A complete match also compares Manglik status, the 7th house of each chart, and the running dashas around the marriage date. That's why we recommend a full report rather than relying only on a score.
