The 36 gunas
Ashtakoota Milan compares eight factors (kootas) — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — adding up to 36 points of compatibility.
What the score means
A score above 18 is generally considered acceptable and above 24 favourable. But the number alone is not the full picture — Nadi and Bhakoot doshas need careful review.
Beyond the number
A good astrologer reads both kundlis as a whole — doshas, planetary periods and remedies — rather than relying on the score alone. Share both birth details for a proper reading.
