Eight Factors of Ashtakoot

Traditional Vedic astrology evaluates marriage compatibility through 8 key parameters:

Gana (4 points)

Assesses mental compatibility and temperament. Three categories: Deva (divine), Manushya (human), and Rakshasa (demon). Similar Ganas score higher points.

Nadi (8 points)

Checks biological compatibility based on birth star positioning. Couples with different Nadis score full points, while same Nadi scores 0 points.

Bhakoot (7 points)

Evaluates social and financial harmony between partners. Determines if families are compatible and supportive.

Tara (3 points)

Determines if one partner's star protects the other from difficulties and negative influences.

Yoni (4 points)

Assesses physical and sexual compatibility based on 14 animal symbols associated with nakshatras. Higher scores indicate better physical harmony.

Graha Maitri (5 points)

Evaluates planetary friendship between the moon signs of the couple. Compatible planets enhance relationship harmony.

Rashi (7 points)

Checks compatibility between moon signs based on friendship and enmity. Harmonious Rashis contribute to emotional compatibility.

Nakshatra (4 points)

Analyzes birth star compatibility and positioning. Avoids certain nakshatra combinations that are considered incompatible.

Using Your Results

Remember that kundli matching is just one aspect of relationship compatibility. Consider these points when interpreting your results:

  • Use the results as guidance, not as the sole determinant for marriage decisions
  • Consider other important factors like mutual respect, shared values, and communication
  • Lower scores don't necessarily mean the relationship won't work; they highlight areas that may need attention
  • Higher scores indicate natural harmony but still require effort and understanding from both partners
  • Consult with experienced astrologers for detailed analysis and personalized guidance
