Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Detailed Answer |
|---|---|
| How is Guna Milan calculated? | Guna Milan, also called Ashtakoota matching, compares the Moon sign and birth star (nakshatra) of two people across eight kootas worth 36 points in total: Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8. The scores of all eight kootas are added to give a total out of 36. |
| What is a good Guna Milan score? | Traditionally 18 out of 36 is the minimum for a match, 25 or more is considered very good and 33 or more is excellent. The score is only one part of kundali matching. Astrologers also look at Manglik status, planetary positions and the full birth charts. |
| How does this calculator find my Moon sign and nakshatra? | It estimates the Moon’s sidereal (Lahiri) position from your date of birth, and your birth time if you enter it, using a standard astronomical formula. Without a birth time it assumes 12:00 noon IST. The Moon moves about 13 degrees a day, so the estimated sign can differ from your real chart. If you know your Moon sign, select it for a better result. |
| What are Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha? | Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners share the same Nadi and scores 0 out of 8. Bhakoot Dosha occurs when the Moon signs are in a 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 position and scores 0 out of 7. Traditional astrologers also apply cancellation rules, which this simplified calculator does not, so ask an astrologer if a dosha appears. |
| Can this calculator replace an astrologer or decide my marriage? | No. This is a simplified, gender-neutral version for learning and fun. Varna, Vashya, Yoni and Gana use simplified scoring rules, and the Moon position is estimated. A low or high score should never be the only reason to decide a marriage. Respect, communication and shared values matter most. |
| Is my birth data stored on your server? | No. The calculation runs 100% in your browser with JavaScript. Your dates of birth and Moon signs are never sent to a server, saved or logged. They appear in the page address only after you calculate, so that you can share or bookmark your own link. |
