About Vedic Compatibility
Gun Milan (Ashtakoot) is the traditional Vedic method for assessing marriage compatibility. It compares the Moon signs (Rashis) and birth stars (Nakshatras) of both partners across 8 categories, producing a score out of 36 points. This system has been used in India for centuries as a key factor in arranged marriages.
Important caveat: The compatibility scores shown on this page are approximate, based on sign-level analysis. Actual Gun Milan requires exact birth details (date, time, place) for both partners to determine precise Moon positions and Nakshatras. Two people with the same Moon sign can have very different compatibility scores depending on their Nakshatra padas.
For accurate results, use Jyotir AI's Kundli Matching tool with both partners' exact birth details. The AI computes precise Gun Milan, checks Mangal Dosha, analyzes planetary aspects between both charts, and provides personalized remedies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is zodiac compatibility calculated in Vedic astrology?
Vedic zodiac compatibility uses the Ashtakoot (8-factor) Gun Milan system, which compares Moon signs (Rashis) and birth stars (Nakshatras) of both partners across 8 categories: Varna (1 point), Vashya (2), Tara (3), Yoni (4), Graha Maitri (5), Gana (6), Bhakoot (7), and Nadi (8) — totaling 36 points. A score of 18+ is acceptable for marriage, 24+ is good, and 30+ is excellent.
Is Moon sign compatibility the same as Sun sign compatibility?
No. Vedic astrology uses Moon sign (Rashi) for compatibility, not Sun sign. Your Moon sign represents your emotional nature and mind, which is far more relevant for relationship compatibility than Sun sign (ego/soul). This is why Vedic compatibility can differ significantly from Western (Sun-based) compatibility. For example, you might be a Sun-in-Aries but Moon-in-Cancer — your compatibility is assessed based on Cancer, not Aries.
Can incompatible signs have a successful marriage?
Yes. Sign-level compatibility is a general guide — actual compatibility depends on the complete birth chart. Specific factors like Venus placement, 7th house lord, Dasha periods, and individual yogas can override general sign compatibility. A couple with low Gun Milan score may have strong Venus-Mars connections or favorable 7th house placements that create a happy marriage. Always get a full Kundli Matching report before making marriage decisions.
Which zodiac pair has the highest compatibility in Vedic astrology?
The highest compatibility typically occurs between signs whose ruling planets are natural friends and whose elements complement each other. Strong pairs include: Cancer-Pisces (both Water, Moon-Jupiter friendship), Aries-Leo (both Fire, Sun exalted in Aries), Taurus-Cancer (Earth-Water, Moon exalted in Taurus), and Virgo-Capricorn (both Earth, Mercury-Saturn friendship). However, individual birth charts always override general sign compatibility.
