How I Calculate 36-Point Guna Milan

Swiss Ephemeris + Lahiri Ayanamsha

Kundli Matching (Ashtakoot Guna Milan) is the classical 36-point Vedic marital compatibility system. It evaluates pair harmony across 8 fundamental Koota categories derived from both partners' birth Moon Nakshatras and rashis.

I calculate Ashtakoot Guna Milan using exact birth Moon coordinates extracted from Swiss Ephemeris (`pyswisseph`) routines under Lahiri Ayanamsha.

The engine scores the 8 Kootas deterministically out of 36 maximum points and evaluates Mangal Dosha cross-alignment for both charts.

The 8 Koota Categories (36 Points Total)

Varna (1 pt), Vashya (2 pts), Tara (3 pts), Yoni (4 pts), Graha Maitri (5 pts), Gana (6 pts), Bhakoot (7 pts), and Nadi (8 pts). Scores of 18+ points are traditionally considered acceptable.

Nadi & Bhakoot Significance

Nadi Koota carries the highest weight (8 points) representing physiological and genetic harmony, while Bhakoot Koota (7 points) governs emotional and financial growth.

Holistic Matching Beyond Guna Scores

While Ashtakoot score provides a 36-point baseline, comprehensive matching also evaluates mutual Dasha timelines, house lords, and overall planetary strength.
