Guna Milan, also called Ashtakoot Milan, is the classical Vedic method for checking marriage compatibility between two people using their Moon nakshatra (birth star) and Moon rashi (Moon sign). It scores compatibility across 8 factors — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi — for a maximum of 36 points.

Each koota examines a different dimension of compatibility: spiritual temperament (Varna), mutual control and dominance (Vashya), health and well-being (Tara), physical and sexual compatibility (Yoni), mental and intellectual friendship (Graha Maitri), temperament and nature (Gana), family growth and prosperity (Bhakoot), and health of progeny (Nadi). Traditionally, a total score of 18 or above out of 36 is considered the minimum for a workable match, with 28 and above regarded as excellent.

This calculator also checks Mangal Dosha (Manglik status) for both partners, reusing the same calculation used across AstroMystra's other tools. If an exact birth time isn't available for a partner, the Mangal Dosha result is shown as approximate since Mars's house placement from the Ascendant can shift with birth time.

This free tool gives you the numeric Ashtakoot score instantly. For a complete AI-narrated compatibility reading — including planetary compatibility, dosha remedies, and a full written analysis — see our complete Kundli Matching report.

How Guna Milan Is Calculated

  1. 1

    Moon Nakshatra & Rashi

    We calculate each partner's Moon nakshatra (birth star) and Moon rashi (sign) from their birth date, time, and place.

  2. 2

    8-Koota Scoring

    Each of the 8 classical kootas — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi — is scored using standard published Ashtakoot tables.

  3. 3

    Total Score & Verdict

    The 8 koota scores are summed to a total out of 36, mapped to a traditional verdict band, alongside each partner's Mangal Dosha status.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Guna Milan / Kundli Milan?

Guna Milan (also called Kundli Milan or Ashtakoot Milan) is the classical Vedic astrology method for checking marriage compatibility between two people by comparing their Moon nakshatra and Moon sign across 8 factors, for a maximum score of 36 points.

What is considered a good Guna Milan score?

Traditionally, 18 out of 36 is considered the minimum acceptable score for marriage, 24-28 is considered good, and 28 and above is considered excellent. Below 18 is traditionally discouraged, though many astrologers weigh individual kootas (especially Bhakoot and Nadi) alongside the total.

What are the 8 kootas in Ashtakoot matching?

The 8 kootas are Varna (1 point), Vashya (2 points), Tara (3 points), Yoni (4 points), Graha Maitri (5 points), Gana (6 points), Bhakoot (7 points), and Nadi (8 points), totaling 36 points.

Do I need an exact birth time?

Birth time is needed for the most accurate Mangal Dosha (Manglik) check, since Mars's house placement depends on the Ascendant. If you don't know the exact time, leave it blank — the Guna Milan score itself is based on the Moon's position and is still calculated, but the Mangal Dosha result will be marked as approximate.

Does a low score mean the match won't work?

Not necessarily. Guna Milan is one traditional input among many that Vedic astrologers consider. Many marriages with lower Ashtakoot scores work well when other chart factors are favorable — this tool is meant as an indicative starting point, not a final verdict.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, login, or payment required.
