Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kundli Matching (Gun Milan)?

Kundli Matching, also known as Gun Milan or Ashtakoot Milan, is a Vedic astrology method for assessing marriage compatibility between two individuals. It compares the birth charts of the prospective bride and groom by analyzing Moon and Nakshatra positions across 8 dimensions (Kootas), totaling 36 points. A higher score indicates better compatibility for a harmonious married life.

What is the Ashtakoot (8 Koota) system?

The Ashtakoot system evaluates compatibility across 8 dimensions: Varna (spiritual compatibility, 1 point), Vashya (mutual attraction, 2 points), Tara (destiny compatibility, 3 points), Yoni (physical compatibility, 4 points), Graha Maitri (mental compatibility, 5 points), Gana (temperament match, 6 points), Bhakoot (emotional and financial harmony, 7 points), and Nadi (health and progeny, 8 points). The maximum possible score is 36 points.

What is a good score for Kundli Matching?

In the 36-point Ashtakoot system: 32+ points is Excellent (ideal match), 28-31 is Very Good, 24-27 is Good (recommended for marriage), 18-23 is Average (acceptable with considerations), 12-17 is Below Average (proceed with caution), and below 12 is considered Poor. Most astrologers recommend a minimum score of 18 for marriage.

What is Mangal Dosha and how does it affect matching?

Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Ascendant, Moon, or Venus. It is believed to create challenges in married life. However, if both partners are Manglik, the dosha is considered mutually cancelled. Certain planetary combinations can also naturally cancel Mangal Dosha. Our analysis checks for all cancellation conditions.

What is Nadi Dosha?

Nadi Dosha is the most serious compatibility defect in Kundli matching. It occurs when both partners have the same Nadi (Aadi, Madhya, or Antya), resulting in 0 out of 8 points. Since Nadi carries the highest weightage, its absence significantly reduces the total score. However, certain Nakshatra combinations can cancel Nadi Dosha — our system checks all known cancellation conditions.

Can I check compatibility for love relationships too?

Yes! While Ashtakoot is primarily for marriage, CosmiqeAI also offers zodiac compatibility for romantic partnerships and friendships. Our Love Guru AI agent specializes in relationship analysis based on Venus and Mars placements, Moon sign compatibility, communication styles, and long-term stability through Saturn aspects.

What is Bhakoot Dosha?

Bhakoot Dosha arises from unfavorable Moon sign combinations between partners (like 2/12 or 6/8 positions). It can indicate challenges in emotional bonding, financial matters, or family harmony. Like other doshas, Bhakoot Dosha has specific cancellation conditions based on planetary lordships and aspects that can neutralize its negative effects.

Can a low score still work for marriage?

While a score below 18 is generally not recommended, astrologers consider additional factors: the presence or absence of specific doshas, beneficial planetary aspects in both charts, the strength of the 7th house (marriage house), and Venus/Jupiter placements. Some unfavorable Koota scores can be mitigated by strong positive factors elsewhere in the charts.

Why is exact birth time important for matching?

While Kundli Matching primarily uses the Moon's Nakshatra position (which changes approximately every day), the exact birth time is important for accurate Ascendant (Lagna) calculation, which is used in Mangal Dosha analysis. The birth time also affects the precise Nakshatra Pada (quarter), which can influence the Nadi classification. For the most accurate compatibility results, provide birth times as close to the actual time as possible.
