Rashi compatibility
The four Ashtakoot kootas two rashis are enough to work out, for all 144 pairs, and a straight answer about the twenty-one points that need a birth time.
All 144 pairs
four kootas, 15 pointsRead a row as the first person and a column as the second. The grid is not the same both ways, and that is not a bug. Varna compares the first person’s varna with the second person’s, and Bhakoot counts from the first rashi.

Why not a percentage
why we show it this wayAlmost every sun-sign compatibility page scores a pair by element. It looks up ten pairings, which gives eight distinct answers for all 144 sign pairs. Aries and Leo comes out identical to Aries and Sagittarius, because the table cannot tell them apart. The four kootas here give 27 distinct scores, because they read the rashi lords and the count between the rashis, not the element alone.
Compares the two rashis’ varna. It is one point of thirty-six and the only koota that is explicitly asymmetric by design.
Groups the rashis into man, quadruped, water, insect and wild. It shows how the two rashis relate to each other, not who is in charge.
The friendship between the two rashi lords. It has five points, and it is the koota most often described as mental compatibility.
The largest single koota. It looks at how far the second rashi sits from the first. Three of those distances carry a classical caution.
The twenty-one points that need a birth time
and why they are missingTwenty-one of the thirty-six points depend on the nakshatra, which is the Moon’s exact position at birth. The Moon moves through all 27 of them in under a month. No page that knows only two rashis can work them out, and any page that prints a “36-point score” from two sun signs is making twenty-one of them up.

Gun Milan scores thirty-six across eight kootas and checks Mangal dosha on both charts. It needs two birth times, and it is free.
