Kundli matching compares two birth charts to examine compatibility before marriage. It is one of the most requested services among Indian families. This page also covers couple and relationship compatibility, so there is one place to look.
The Ashtakoota system scores eight factors, for a total of 36 points:
| Koota | Points | Looks at |
|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | Temperament and ego |
| Vashya | 2 | Mutual influence |
| Tara | 3 | Birth star compatibility, health and wellbeing |
| Yoni | 4 | Intimacy and nature |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Mental compatibility |
| Gana | 6 | Basic nature (Deva, Manushya, Rakshasa) |
| Bhakoot | 7 | Emotional and family harmony |
| Nadi | 8 | Traditionally linked to health and progeny |
Many families treat 18 of 36 as a minimum. This is a rule of thumb, not a fixed rule in every tradition.
