Vedic compatibility
Compatibility isn't chemistry. It's chart math.
Kundli matching compares two birth charts across eight dimensions called Ashtakoot, scoring compatibility out of 36 points. A score of 18 or above is traditionally considered compatible. Fliyp adds Dasha phase overlap — showing whether two people are in directionally compatible life phases right now, not just astrologically aligned by birth chart.
Kundali Milan (Guna Milan) is the Vedic science of relationship compatibility. It compares the birth charts of two individuals across 8 factors — the Ashtakoota — to produce a score out of 36.
Unlike sun-sign compatibility, Kundli matching uses your Moon sign, Nakshatra, and planetary positions — the actual indicators of temperament, values, and emotional nature.
Guna Milan score guide
What your score means.
The 36-point scale is not just a number — each band indicates a qualitatively different compatibility level. Minimum 18 points is traditionally recommended for marriage.
The 8 factors
Ashtakoota — what's being measured.
Each factor carries a different maximum score, reflecting its relative importance. Nadi (8 pts) and Bhakoot (7 pts) carry the most weight.
Varna
Spiritual development and ego compatibility. Matches the evolutionary level of both partners.
Vashya
Attraction and natural influence. Determines the pull each person has over the other.
Tara
Birth star compatibility. Measures health, longevity, and general wellbeing of the couple.
Yoni
Biological and intimate compatibility. Based on the animal symbol of each Nakshatra.
Graha Maitri
Planetary friendship. Compares the ruling planets of both Moon signs for mental compatibility.
Gana
Nature compatibility — Deva (divine), Manushya (human), or Rakshasa (demonic). Affects temperament match.
Bhakoot
Moon sign placement relative to each other. Strongly affects emotional and financial compatibility.
Nadi
The highest-weighted factor. Genetic and health compatibility — same Nadi is considered inauspicious.
Total: 36 points

Compatibility FAQ.
What is kundli matching?
Kundli matching (Guna Milan or Ashtakoot) is the Vedic astrology method of assessing relationship compatibility. It compares two birth charts across 8 dimensions called Kootas, scoring compatibility out of 36 points total. A score of 18 or above is traditionally recommended for marriage; 24+ is good, 28+ is strong, 32+ is excellent. The Kootas are Varna · Vashya · Tara · Yoni · Graha Maitri · Gana · Bhakoot · Nadi.
What is a good kundli matching score?
A score of 18–23 is acceptable (foundation present · adjustments needed), 24–27 is good, 28–31 is very good, 32–35 is excellent, and 36 is the rare perfect match. Below 18 indicates significant chart-level incompatibility — but a low score does not silently veto a real partnership. The behavioural layer (BaZi · Numerology) and the timing layer (Dasha overlap) often determine whether moderate-score couples build strong marriages.
What is Dasha overlap in compatibility?
Dasha overlap shows whether two people are currently in directionally compatible planetary life phases. Even a high Ashtakoot score can create friction if one partner is in a contraction Dasha (Saturn · Ketu) and the other is in an expansion phase (Jupiter · Venus). Fliyp computes this layer as part of every compatibility reading — most free Kundli matching tools skip it entirely.
Is the 36-point score the full picture?
No. Ashtakoot scores chart-level static compatibility. A complete Vedic compatibility reading adds: the Navamsa (D9) marriage overlay · the Mangal/Manglik dosha check with classical cancellations · the Nadi dosha read with modern corrections · current Dasha phase overlap · and a behavioural compatibility layer drawn from cross-system reads (BaZi · Numerology). See /kundli-matching for the full Ashtakoot breakdown.
What is Manglik dosha?
Manglik dosha is the condition where Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a chart. Traditionally believed to bring friction into marriage. The honest framing: Manglik comes in degrees (mild · moderate · strong), has classical cancellations (Manglik–Manglik match · certain placements · certain Dasha alignments), and has behavioural remedies. The fear-version of Manglik widely marketed online is usually overstated.
Is Fliyp's compatibility check free?
Yes — basic compatibility (Ashtakoot score + Moon sign synastry + foundational Dasha read) is free forever, no credit card required. The Marriage Compatibility Deep-Dive report (₹799) adds the full Navamsa overlay · 5-year transit timeline · Mangal/Nadi dosha with cancellations · behavioural compatibility from BaZi + Numerology. The free tier is enough for most couples; the deep-dive is for high-stakes decisions.
