The Couple Compatibility tab produces a Kundali Milan — the traditional Vedic assessment of how well two birth charts match for marriage. It scores the pair across eight Ashtakūṭa (“eight-fold”) factors out of 36 points, checks for Mangal dosha (Mars affliction), and examines the marriage houses in both partners’ Rāśi (D1) and Navāṁśa (D9) charts. An optional deep analysis layer adds an AI synthesis grounded in a short questionnaire from each partner. This guide walks through the full report; the point-by-point scoring rules live at Ashtakūṭa scoring.
Casting the report
Enter both people’s date, time, and place of birth — and optionally their gender, which affects a handful of kūṭa rules. Then click Check Compatibility. The report header confirms the two charts it is working from:
Compatibility Report
Mumbai, IN (1993-05-08) · Delhi, IN (1995-01-01)
The Ashtakūṭa score
The headline is a score out of 36, accompanied by a verdict band:
Ashtakoota — 24 / 36 — Good
The eight kūṭas, their maximum points, and the sample values are:
| Kūṭa | Max | Person 1 | Person 2 | Score | Tests |
|---|
| Nadi | 8 | Antya | Adi | 8 | Physiology and progeny; the single heaviest factor. |
| Bhakoot | 7 | — | — | 0 ⚠ | Moon-sign relationship; emotional and financial harmony. |
| Gana | 6 | Rakshasa | Rakshasa | 6 | Temperament match (deva / manuṣya / rākṣasa). |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Mars (Friend) | Jupiter | 5 | Friendship of the Moon-sign lords; mental affinity. |
| Yoni | 4 | Deer (M) | Dog (M) | 1 | Sexual and instinctual compatibility by animal symbol. |
| Tara | 3 | Sampat (2) | Ati-mitra (9) | 3 | Birth-star compatibility; health and fortune. |
| Vasya | 2 | Keeta | Manava | 0 | Mutual attraction and natural “pull” between partners. |
| Varna | 1 | Brahmin | Kshatriya | 1 | Spiritual and temperamental class. |
| Total | 36 | | | 24 | |
A score is a starting point, not a verdict. The Ashtakūṭa system is a screening tool. Classical practice also weighs the doshas, the marriage houses, the D9, and the strength of Venus and Jupiter before forming a view. The app gives you all of these layers so you are never relying on one number alone.
Moon nakṣatra and pada
Because almost every kūṭa derives from the Moon’s nakṣatra, the report states each partner’s Moon position clearly before the scoring table:
Person 1: Jyeshtha, Pada 3 — Moon in Scorpio
Person 2: Mula, Pada 4 — Moon in Sagittarius
Mangal dosha
Mangal dosha arises when Mars occupies certain houses — most commonly the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th — counted from the Lagna, the Moon, or Venus. Tradition regards it as a concern in matchmaking because of Mars’s fiery, separative nature in angular or moksha houses. The report evaluates the dosha for both partners and notes mitigating factors such as Mars being debilitated or well-disposed:
Person 1: Mars in Cancer (11th) · debilitated — Dosha: No
Person 2: Mars in Leo (9th) — Dosha: No
Mars sign compatibility: Friend-Friend
Marriage houses: D1 and D9
Compatibility is not only about how the charts match each other — it also depends on each chart’s own promise for partnership. The report examines the 7th house (the house of marriage) and Venus (the kāraka of love and the spouse) in both the Rāśi (D1) and the Navāṁśa (D9):
Relationship Houses (D1) — Person 1
7th house: Pisces · Lord: Jupiter
7th lord in: Virgo (1st house)
7th occupants: Venus
Venus: Pisces · 7th · exalted
Navamsha Compatibility (D9) — Person 1 · D9 Lagna: Gemini
7th house: Sagittarius (lord: Jupiter)
7th occupants: Rahu
Vargottama: Lagna, Mercury, Saturn
Deep analysis (optional)
A banner at the bottom of the report reads: “Want a deeper read? Two short questionnaires + an AI synthesis that ties the chart to your lived reality.” Clicking it opens an optional flow: each partner answers a short questionnaire about their circumstances, and the app produces an AI synthesis connecting the classical factors above to the couple’s actual lives. Treat it as a reflective supplement to the classical scoring, not a replacement for it.
How to read the whole report
- Note the total and its verdict band — but treat it as a headline, not a conclusion.
- Check the dosha flags — in the sample, Bhakoot scores zero and carries a flag; check Mangal dosha status for each partner.
- Weigh the heavy kūṭas (Nadi, Bhakoot, Gana) more heavily than the lighter ones (Varna, Vasya).
- Read the marriage houses in D1 and D9 for both partners — a strong 7th lord and a dignified Venus matter independently of the kūṭa score.
- Optionally, run the deep analysis to ground the classical indicators in the couple’s lived reality.
