Kundali Matching

The Janam Kundali or horoscopes of the prospective couple is tested in order to know their compatibility.  This matching process is popularly called Gun Milan and is further segregated into eight individual parts or tests. Each part is given certain points and the whole process is called the Ashtkoot Milan.

An aggregate score is obtained after adding up the points given by these eight tests. Points are given out of 36 points and if the aggregate score or Gunas is below 18, then the couple is considered incompatible. If the number of Gunas is between18 to 32 then the match is good, and if gunas are above 32 it indicates identical personalities of the bride and groom.

Although couples with 32 or more gunas matched in their horoscopes appear to be highly compatible but at the same time other factors must also be checked to ensure that the relationship will be long lasting as being identical is also not always good.

Tara Matching

Kundali Points: 3 Gunas

Tara is matched to know about the well-being or health of the couple after marriage. This is calculated by comparing the Birth Nakshatras (Tara) of both of them. The 27 nakshatras of zodiac are divided into 9 Tara groups containing three nakshatras each. These 9 categories are:

Janam, Sampat, Vipat, Kshem, Pratyari, Sadhak, Vadha, Mitra and Ati-Mitra.

An elaborate method is involved in tara matching as the nakshatras of both are counted from each other and then divided by 9 to know the remainder as also the category which can be done by an expert. Here to cut it short we can say that if the Tara is 3rd, 5th or 7th as counted from each other’s nakshatra then it is not considered auspicious and hence denial of the points.

With a maximum score of 7 gunas, this is the 2nd most important milan. Bhakoot Dosha is calculated on the basis of the difference of numbers counted from the girl's Rashi to the boy's Rashi or vice versa.

The possible combinations of distances are as follows:

• Inauspicious: 2/12, 5/9, 6/8

If it lies in the auspicious category then 7 points are given otherwise no point is given. If it lies in the inauspicious category then Bhakoot Dosha is said to occur and the match is not preferable.
