Ashtakoot matching is the standard eight-factor score used in North Indian kundli milan. “Ashta” means eight; “koota” means division. Together they produce the familiar guna score out of 36.
How astrologers use the score
Pandits compare Moon nakshatra and rashi positions derived from each person’s birth chart. Software automates the same tables found in classical manuals. The score supports family discussion—it does not replace character, values, or counselling.
When to go beyond 36 points
Mangal dosha, seventh-house strength, and Navamsa (D9) marriage indicators are evaluated separately. Our dedicated tool focuses on transparent Ashtakoot maths so you can see each koota’s contribution.
