Getting To Know The Ashtakootas In Kundli Milan

Kundli Milan or Kundli Matching has been an integral part of Indian marriages since time immemorial. In the Indian culture, people have immense faith in the ‘Kundli Milan’ practice. It is believed that by matching the Kundlis of the prospective bride and groom, one can find out their compatibility and how successful their marriage will be. This is the first step in checking a marriage’s compatibility.

Let’s get to know more about it.

What is Ashtakoot Guna Milan?

Kundli Milan is the age-old technique of finding whether a couple is suitable for marriage. This technique is based on the calculations of the Guna Milan. This astrological method of matching the compatibility factors between the prospective bride and groom is known as the ‘Ashtakoot Guna Milan’.

The compatibility analysis or 'Ashtakoot Guna Milan' is done for eight essential personality aspects of the would-be bride and groom. It is these eight different aspects or kootas, which are called the 'Ashtakootas'. Every koota in your birth chart is given points that are considered during Kundli Milan. These points are known as 'Guna', and there are altogether 36 Gunas that are taken into consideration. As per Ashtakoot Guna Milan, the higher the score attained, the more the couple's compatibility will be. A couple's compatibility is considered exceptional if 36 Gunas match. However, if not even 18 points or Gunas match after the Kundli matching process, it is believed that the marriage is not suitable from an astrological point of view.  

Given below are the eight Kootas and the specific Gunas allocated to them during a Kundli Milan.

• Varna- 1

• Vasya- 2

•  Tara- 3

• Yoni- 4

• Graha Maitri- 5

• Gana- 6

• Bhakoot- 7

• Nadi- 8

Apart from the Gunas, the Moon's placement also plays an essential role in Kundli Milan. The Moon's placement in the horoscope informs the astrologer about the Rashi (Moon sign) and Nakshatra (Constellation), which are taken into account by the astrologer for assessing the compatibility of the future couple. If you want to get Kundlis matched, you should consult an astrologer immediately. These days you can consult an astrologer online on platforms like Astroyogi.

Getting to Know the Eight Kootas

• Varna

This Koota is all about the spiritual compatibility of the bride and the groom. This Koota also takes into account the personalities and the egos of both individuals. Analysing this specific Koota ensures that there are fewer chances of friction between the couple. For the Varna Koota's analysis, the individuals are classified into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Shudras as per their birth chart analysis.

• Vasya

The astrologer checks this Koota to determine the couple's power equation and ascertain who will be more dominant amongst the two. The degree of power and control between the two individuals can be determined from here. The individuals are classified as Manav (Humans), Vanchar (Animals), Chatushpad (Small animals), Jalachar (Sea Animals), and Keet (Insects) as per their aggression level as deduced by the astrologer.

• Tara

This Koota takes into consideration the natives' Janma Nakshatra or constellation and checks the compatibility between the two individual's birth stars. The astrologer takes into notice the inter-relationship of the Janma Nakshatra.

• Yoni

This specific Koota pertains to the intimacy levels and sexual inclinations between the future couple. This also shows the sexual affinity and love they have for each other. The astrologer from this Koota can give insight into the level of physical satisfaction the couple will enjoy. The individuals are classified as 14 animals.

• Graha Maitri

This Koota is associated with the harmony of the two horoscopes of the individual. This aspect becomes quite crucial as it shows the mental compatibility and affection between the prospective couple. It indicates whether the future couple will be able to have a compatible relationship. To analyse this Koota, the ruling planet of the Moon sign is considered.

• Gana

The Gana Koota indicates the temperament, behaviours, and habits of the would-be couple. Their mental compatibility is highlighted in this aspect. This aspect is quite a vital category which is why it is allotted 6 points or Gunas. The individuals are classified as Devata (God), Manushya or Manava (Human), and Rakshasa (Demon) for this analysis.

• Bhakut

In the Bhakut aspect, the future couple's constellation is analysed. This test becomes crucial to analyse the emotional compatibility and love between the prospective partners. Both the families' welfare and financial prosperity are also studied. If the future couple is compatible, they will be awarded a total of 7 points.

• Nadi

Nadi Koota refers to the health and reproduction factor of the future couple. The genes, physiological, and hereditary factors are all taken into consideration. This aspect becomes critical as it checks the genetic compatibility and ensures that the couple will produce healthy off-springs.

Once your Gunas are calculated, if the score is less than 18, the astrologer will inform you that the marriage is not suitable. If you get any score between 18 to 24, the marriage is accepted. However, apart from Ashtakoota Guna Milan, you should also get other astrological factors checked and analysed when you are going to get married. For example, the planets Venus and Jupiter and their placement should be analysed. This is why it is best to consult an astrologer. An astrologer can check your horoscopes and offer you valuable insight based on which you can decide whether you want to proceed with the marriage.
