Gun Milan is the traditional Ashtakoot method of matching two horoscopes for marriage. It compares the two Moons — their signs and nakshatras — across eight areas and gives a score out of 36. It is a useful first look, but it is only one part of a proper compatibility reading.
Each koot looks at a different side of the relationship. Higher-point koots carry more weight.
Traditionally 18 out of 36 is the minimum accepted. 18–24 is considered average, 25–32 good and above 32 excellent. Nadi dosha (0 of 8) and Bhakoot dosha (0 of 7) are taken seriously, though classical texts list cancellations for both — for example when the Moon-sign lords are the same or friendly.
Gun Milan only compares the two Moons. It does not look at the 7th house, Venus, Mars (Manglik status), the navamsa chart or the running dashas — which together decide how a marriage actually goes and when. A 30-guna match can struggle and a 20-guna match can thrive.
A full reading looks at each chart's capacity for marriage first, then how the two charts fit together.
Make your Kundli free, then ask about compatibility, your future partner's nature or marriage timing — in Hindi, Hinglish or English.
Gun Milan, or Ashtakoot matching, compares the Moon signs and nakshatras of two people across eight koots and gives a score out of 36 gunas.
18 is the traditional minimum. It is acceptable when the rest of the two charts — 7th house, Venus, Mars and dashas — support the marriage.
Nadi dosha arises when both people share the same Nadi (Adi, Madhya or Antya), scoring 0 of 8. Classical texts give cancellations, such as the same rashi with different nakshatras.
No. It only compares the two Moons. Full charts, Manglik status and timing should also be checked.
