How Milan scores you

Milan (Ashtakoota, or Guna Milan) compares the Moon’s sign and nakshatra in the boy’s and girl’s charts across eight factors (kootas), worth 36 points (gunas) in all:

  • Varna (1): work and ego; Vashya (2): mutual attraction; Tara (3): health and fortune; Yoni (4): physical and instinctive compatibility;
  • Graha Maitri (5): friendship between the Moon-sign lords; Gana (6): temperament; Bhakoot (7): family welfare and finances; Nadi (8): health and children.

Traditionally, 18 or more gunas is considered acceptable, 25 or more good, and 33 or more excellent. A low score in Nadi or Bhakoot is called a dosha, but classical texts list several cancellations, for example when the two Moon signs share the same lord.

Mangal Dosha

Mangal (Mars) Dosha is checked from the Lagna, the Moon and Venus: Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house is said to cause it. When both partners have it, it is traditionally considered cancelled.

Milan is one traditional input among many; families usually also consider the full charts, and above all the two people themselves.
