Two people’s birth data

First personIn the tradition: the groom’s side (vara)

Day, month, year — e.g. 07/03/1987.

If the time is unknown, choose “I do not know the time”: 12:00 is used and the page shows how far the score can move.

Start typing and choose the place from the suggestions.

Second personIn the tradition: the bride’s side (kanya)

Day, month, year — e.g. 07/03/1987.

If the time is unknown, choose “I do not know the time”: 12:00 is used and the page shows how far the score can move.

Start typing and choose the place from the suggestions.

Varna, Vashya and Gana are read from the first person to the second, as in the classical method; the other kutas do not depend on the order.

The data is used only to calculate the matching. It stays in this browser session for up to two hours and is never saved without an account.

What is Kundli matching?

Kundli matching (kundli milan, Guna Milan) is the Vedic comparison of two birth charts that many Indian families make before a marriage. Its best known part, the Ashtakoota method, compares the Moon of the two charts in eight kutas worth 36 points in all.

AstroSensus calculates the eight kutas from astronomical Moon positions with the Lahiri ayanamsa and the traditional tables, and names the doshas without applying contested exceptions. The score describes how two emotional rhythms meet in the tradition — a starting point for conversation, not a verdict on a relationship.

Questions

How is the Guna Milan score calculated?

From the Moon of each person: its nakshatra and its sign in the sidereal zodiac. Eight kutas — Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8 points — add up to 36. Each kuta is read from a traditional table.

How many gunas should match?

The tradition usually treats under 18 points as weak, 18 to 24 as acceptable, 25 to 32 as good and 33 or more as very good. Astrologers always read the score together with the doshas and the rest of both charts.

Why does the order of the two people matter?

The classical method reads Varna, Vashya and Gana from the groom’s side to the bride’s. The form names the sides as the tradition does; the other five kutas give the same points in either order.

What if a time of birth is unknown?

Choose “I do not know the time”. The Moon moves about 13° a day, so if it changes nakshatra or sign during that birth day, the page shows the lowest and highest score the pair can have. Manglik is then counted from the Moon only.

Are doshas cancelled automatically?

No. Classical texts list exceptions to Nadi and Bhakoot dosha, but they disagree on them, so the page shows the raw points and names each dosha. An astrologer may weigh the exceptions with the whole charts.

Is the birth data stored?

Not in our database. It stays in your browser session for up to two hours and is deleted when you press “Forget the data”. Only if you create an account do the two people become people in that account.
