Ashtakoot / Guna Milan
Traditional 36-point matching checks factors like Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, etc., between Moon nakshatras. High scores are auspicious; low scores are not automatic denial—context matters.
Beyond the Score
Charts must be read holistically:
- 7th house and its lord
- Venus and Jupiter condition
- Manglik / Mars placement debates—verify with full chart, not Sun sign memes
- D9 Navamsa for marital durability
