How to read your Guna Milan score
Ashtakoot Guna Milan compares two birth stars across eight kootas worth 36 points in total. The score is a starting point, not a verdict - Nadi and Bhakoot carry the most weight, and a low total often needs only a look at Dasha timing and simple remedies.
What each score band means
Rare, highly harmonious pairing. Marriage is traditionally recommended without reservation.
Strong compatibility. Minor differences settle with normal give and take.
Workable match. Check Bhakoot and Nadi separately before deciding.
Careful consideration advised. Look at Mangal Dosha, Dasha timing and remedies.
