How is Kundli Milan calculated?
Enter both people's birth dates, times and places. Their Moon signs and birth-star sections set the eight checks. The result lists earned points and the maximum for each check. It also names the book and chapter behind that rule.
What do the eight checks and 36 points mean?
The checks have different limits; they are not eight equal shares. Each name below includes its maximum points. Those limits add up to 36. Compare the earned points with the limit for each check in your result.
- Varna (1)
- Compares spiritual and social groups assigned to Moon signs. The rule requires the boy's group to be equal or higher. These chart groups are Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra.
- Vashya (2)
- Compares attraction and who takes the lead. Signs are grouped as four-footed, human, water-dwelling, wild or insect.
- Tara (3)
- Checks health and well-being by counting between the two birth stars. The count follows a nine-part cycle. The nine count groups are Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema and Pratyak. Then Sadhaka, Vadha, Mitra and Atimitra. Favourable counts earn points; unfavourable counts earn none.
- Yoni (4)
- Checks physical and instinctive attraction using 14 animal groups assigned to birth stars. A shared group earns full points. Enemy groups, such as cow and tiger, earn zero.
- Graha Maitri (5)
- Checks how well your minds and feelings match. It compares the planets ruling your Moon signs: friendly, neutral or hostile.
- Gana (6)
- Compares temperament using three birth-star groups: divine, human and demon. Matching groups earn full points. Divine–demon pairs earn zero.
- Bhakoot (7)
- Checks money and family well-being through the distance between Moon signs. The 6–8, 5–9 and 2–12 pairs raise concerns. A failed check is a serious traditional objection.
- Nadi (8)
- Traditionally checks children and shared life-energy groups, not medical genetics. Birth stars fall into three groups: first, middle and last. A shared group earns zero. This check carries the most points.
How many points make an acceptable match?
Read the total against the traditional thresholds of 18, 24 and 30. These mark acceptable, good and excellent scores respectively. Then return to the individual checks, especially Nadi and Bhakoot. The score does not replace a complete matching reading.
How do Nadi and Bhakoot points add up?
Nadi carries up to 8 points and Bhakoot up to 7. Add them: 8 + 7 = 15. The other six checks carry up to 36 − 15 = 21 points. That explains why these two matter even when the other checks score fully. This is score arithmetic, not a result for a real couple.
Does a high score include a Mars check?
Different questions need different checks. Mars positions and marriage charts do not contribute to this 36-point total. If Nadi or Bhakoot raises an objection, its exceptions need a separate reading too. These are traditional rules, not medical or genetic tests.
What if either birth time is not exact?
Check the time source for each person before comparing the charts. Time matters when the Moon is near a birth-star boundary. Yoni, Tara, Gana and Nadi can then change. Do not make up an unknown time just to submit the form.
