Understanding Your Concern
Almost every Indian family has heard of the thirty-six point match. Far fewer know what the eight kootas are actually measuring, which makes it hard to judge how much weight a score deserves. This page sets out the mechanics.
What the Eight Kootas Measure
The system compares the two moon nakshatras across eight headings, each carrying a different number of points. Some concern temperament and mental compatibility; others concern physical constitution, dominance between the partners, and progeny.
The largest single allocation goes to nadi, which is why a nadi dosha can reduce an otherwise strong score sharply. That weighting is a feature of the system rather than a judgement about the couple.
- Eight headings compared across the two moon nakshatras
- Different point weights, with nadi carrying the largest single share
- Temperament, constitution, dominance and progeny among the headings
- The whole system rests on the moon, not the full chart
Why the Score Is Not the Reading
Because guna milan uses only the moon nakshatras, it ignores the seventh house, the navamsha, planetary afflictions and both dasha sequences. That is most of what determines a marriage.
So a high score with a serious Mars affliction on one side is a worse prospect than a middling score with two well-supported seventh houses, and a proper consultation reports both rather than one number.
- The score ignores the seventh house and the navamsha entirely
- It ignores afflictions and both period sequences
- A high score with a serious affliction is not a good match
- A full assessment reports the score and the chart work separately
