Kundali matching and happy marriage

If 18 to 24 aspects match, the marriage can be approved. However, the results of compatibility will be average. Matching of 25 to 32 aspects is considered a very good match with the prospects of the couple assuring a very happy marriage. If 33 and more aspects match, then such pairing is considered the best on the earth and can give way to an excellent marital union for the individuals coming together.

Aspects of Ashta Koota Milan

There are eight categories listed out in the Vedic astrology under the Ashta Koota Milan system of horoscope matching. Under each of these categories, detailed guidelines are given to match the horoscopes of the bride and the groom. Scores are noted down for each of these compatibility aspects.

For a good compatibility score, the groom’s varna must be at least one point higher than that of the bride. If this is not noted, then the Varna of the bride and groom are said to be incompatible.

Vashya

Vashya refers to the power equation between the bride and the groom. The five types of classification of humans based on Vashya groups them under human, wild animals (Vanchar), small animals (chatushpad), waterborne animals (Jalchar) and insects (Keet). The compatibility score is 2 when the bride and the groom belong to the same Vasya, zero when they belong to the opposite vashya, ½ point for man and water animals combination and 1 point for the remaining.

Tara

This is birth star compatibility. There are 27 birth stars. The star of the bride is counted from that of the groom and the resultant number is divided by nine. In the same way a score is obtained for the groom. If the reminders of both the bride’s and the groom’s scores are even, the compatibility score is 3, zero if they are odd and 1.5 points if one of them is odd.

Yoni

This is sexual compatibility. The yoni koot has 14 classifications including Horse, Elephant, Sheep, Snake, Dog, Cat, Rat, Cow, Buffalo, Tiger, Hare/Deer, Monkey, Lion, Mongoose. If the bride and groom belong to the category of the same animal, the score is 4 points, enemy animals get zero points, friendly animals get 3 points, 2 points for neutral animals and non-friendly animals get 1 point.

Rashyadipati

This part matches the rashi compatibility. The Lords of zodiac houses are friends, neutral or enemies. Five points are given for friendly zodiacs, 4 points for one friend and one neutral and zero points if they are enemies.

Gana

Rashi

This category is related to love and calculated based on the moon’s position in the bride and groom’s horoscopes. If the groom’s moon position is 2, 3 4, 5, 6 places from that of the bride, the match is poor; the positions 7 and 12 indicate a good match. The bride’s moon position from that of the groom’s is 12 from that of the groom, the match is bad. The positions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are considered good.

Nadi
