Astrology Lessons - Marriage Matching (Kundali Milan)


Analyzing the horoscopes of a prospective bride and groom before marriage is known as Matchmaking or Kundali Milan. In Vedic Astrology, the most widely accepted method is the Ashta Koota system, which assesses compatibility across 8 parameters, totaling 36 points (Gunas).

Koota (Parameter) Points Area of Compatibility
1. Varna1Ego and Work style
2. Vashya2Mutual Attraction
3. Tara3Destiny and Health
4. Yoni4Physical Compatibility
5. Maitri5Psychological Bonding
6. Gana6Temperament / Nature
7. Bhakoot7Growth and Finance - Important
8. Nadi8Genetics and Health - Most Vital

Important Note: Marriage should not be decided solely based on points. One must check for Kuja Dosha (Manglik), the strength of the 7th house in both charts, and Dasha Sandhi. Even if points are lower, if planetary friendships are strong, the marriage can be successful.
