What the 36 points measure
The Ashtakoot system weighs eight kootas — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — each carrying a set number of points. Together they look at temperament, mutual influence, mental and emotional fit, and biological compatibility, mostly from the Moon sign and birth nakshatra of each person.
What to look for in a matching tool
- Sidereal chart with Lahiri ayanamsa — Gun Milan depends on the Moon and nakshatra, so the engine matters.
- A clear koota-by-koota breakdown — a single score hides where a match is strong or weak.
- Honest framing — a low score is a prompt for a fuller reading, not a prohibition. A high score is reassurance, not a guarantee.
