Vedic Match Making: A Divine Analysis of Compatibility in Marriage
Introduction
In Hindu culture, marriage is not just a social contract but a sacred spiritual union (संस्कार) that joins two souls across lifetimes. Vedic astrology offers a time-tested and deeply insightful method for analyzing compatibility between a prospective bride and groom through Kundali Milan (horoscope matching).
This process ensures mental, physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual harmony between partners. Matching horoscopes helps prevent future marital discord, health issues, and financial problems, and is considered essential before proceeding with marriage.
The Foundations of Match Making in Vedic Astrology
Match Making is done using the birth charts (Janma Kundli) of the boy and girl based on:
• Birth Date
• Birth Time
• Birth Place
The primary method of matchmaking is based on the Ashta Koota Milan System, which evaluates 8 aspects of compatibility out of a maximum of 36 points.

Deep Analysis of Each Koota
Varna (Spiritual Maturity) – 1 Point
• Compares spiritual development (Brahmin > Kshatriya > Vaishya > Shudra).
• Helps understand ego levels and mutual respect.
Rule: Boy’s varna should be higher or equal to girl’s varna.
Vashya (Control & Influence) – 2 Points
• Measures attraction, mutual control, and dominance in marriage.
• Categories: Manav, Vanachara, Chatushpada, Jalchar, Keet
Tara (Star Compatibility) – 3 Points
• Based on Janma Nakshatra of both
• Determines mutual luck, long life, and well-being
Remedy: Tara dosha can be nullified by checking the stronger moon placement.
Yoni (Sexual Compatibility) – 4 Points
• Very important for physical and emotional bonding
• Categorized into animal types (e.g., Elephant, Cat, Dog, Lion, etc.)
Rule: Matching or friendly yoni preferred. Hostile yoni leads to tension.
Graha Maitri (Mental Compatibility) – 5 Points
• Evaluates mutual friendship between ruling planets of both Moon signs
• Indicates intellectual and emotional synchronization
Rule: Friendly or neutral lords are favorable.
Gana (Temperament) – 6 Points
• Nature of individual: Deva (noble), Manushya (human), Rakshasa (aggressive)
• Determines behavioral compatibility
Danger: Rakshasa Gana boy with Deva Gana girl is considered highly incompatible.

• Relates to Moon sign positions
• Indicates family happiness and economic growth
• Critical combinations to avoid:

Nadi (Health & Offspring) – 8 Points
• Most important: Checks Prakriti (body constitution) and genetic match

Types: Aadi, Madhya, Antya
Same Nadi is a Nadi Dosha unless exceptions apply.
