Understanding Your Compatibility Results

When you use our kundli matching calculator, you receive a comprehensive compatibility report. Here's how to interpret the various components of your results.

Ashtakoot Score Explained

The Ashtakoot score is the primary measure of compatibility in Vedic astrology, ranging from 0 to 36 points. Here's what different score ranges mean:

  • 0-10 Points: Low compatibility, significant concerns for marriage
  • 11-17 Points: Moderate compatibility, requires careful consideration
  • 18-24 Points: Good compatibility, suitable for marriage with some guidance
  • 25-36 Points: Excellent compatibility, highly recommended for marriage

The Eight Factors of Ashtakoot

Gana (4 points)

Gana assesses mental compatibility and temperament. The three types are Deva (divine), Manushya (human), and Rakshasa (demon). Similar Ganas show mental harmony, while different types may require adjustment.

Nadi (8 points)

Nadi ensures biological compatibility. If both partners have the same Nadi, it's considered inauspicious. Different Nadi scores 8 points, while matching Nadi scores 0.

Bhakoot (7 points)

Bhakoot evaluates social and cultural compatibility, including family backgrounds. It checks for harmonious relationships between families.

Tara (3 points)

Tara assesses whether one partner's star positively or negatively affects the other. It checks for protective or harmful influences.

Yoni (4 points)

Yoni evaluates physical and sexual compatibility based on 14 animal forms associated with nakshatras. Higher scores indicate better physical harmony.

Graha Maitri (5 points)

Graha Maitri evaluates planetary friendship between the partners' ruling planets. Friendly planets indicate good mutual understanding.

Rashi (7 points)

Rashi compares moon signs for compatibility. It evaluates the emotional compatibility and harmony between partners.

Nakshatra (4 points)

Nakshatra checks the compatibility between birth stars. It evaluates how the stars of the partners complement each other.

Using Your Results Practically

While the compatibility score provides valuable insights, consider these additional factors:

  • Use kundli matching as a guide, not as the sole decision-making tool
  • Consider other important aspects of compatibility like values, interests, and life goals
  • Discuss any concerns with your partner and seek family guidance
  • Remember that relationships require effort and understanding from both partners

Conclusion

Vedic kundli matching is an ancient science that has guided marriage decisions for thousands of years. While modern couples may view it as one of many considerations, it can provide valuable insights into potential compatibility areas. Use the results as a foundation for open communication with your partner about expectations, differences, and how to build a harmonious relationship.
