26/36Guna Milan, very good match
Matching with the Moon first
Ashtakoota starts from both Moon nakshatras. Eight questions, 36 points, one total you read together with the person in front of you.
Guna Milan out of 36
Varna through Nadi, each with its cap and plain language detail. Alex and Maya score 26, a very good match.
Same ruler for both charts
Your frame follows you. A Vedic viewer sees Vedic signs and scores against any profile, never mixed frames.

Guna Milan, explained for dating.
What is Vedic astrology?
Western practice pins 0 Aries to the spring equinox. Vedic practice (jyotisha) pins it near the fixed stars. The two agreed about two millennia ago and now differ by about 24 degrees through precession. Astro Mate uses Lahiri ayanamsa, the offset behind the Indian national calendar, because most Vedic charts you have seen were drawn with it.
The eight kootas in plain language
Varna (1) checks Moon sign order. Vashya (2) checks mutual influence between sign types. Tara (3) counts auspicious directions between birth stars. Yoni (4) maps animal symbols for instinctive affinity. Graha Maitri (5) compares the friendship of the Moon sign lords. Gana (6) reads temperament as Deva, Manushya, or Rakshasa. Bhakoot (7) watches Moon sign distance for dosha, with cancellation when lords are friendly. Nadi (8) compares pulse types, where same nadi scores zero.
How Vedic synastry works on Astro Mate
Save Vedic in your profile and the Birth Chart page shows the Lahiri line plus your Moon nakshatra and pada. After a match, compatibility becomes Guna Milan with an info drawer behind each koota. Traditional viewers keep the four bars: attraction, communication, love, and long-term potential.
Reading scores without losing the person
Profiles come first on Astro Mate: photos, bio, big three, a real human across the thread. A high total is not permission to skip questions. A low row is not a stop sign. Use one surprising koota as an opening question and let the conversation lead.
Before you follow the thread.
What is Guna Milan?
Guna Milan is the Ashtakoota matching score from classical kundli matching: eight kootas worth 36 gunas, computed from both Moon nakshatras, padas, and Moon signs. Below 18 reads as difficult, 18 to 24 acceptable, 25 to 32 very good, 33 and above excellent.
How is Vedic mode different on Astro Mate?
Three mechanics move together: sidereal signs with Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses from the lagna, and a classical cast of seven planets plus Rahu and Ketu. The Birth Chart page adds the Lahiri note and your Moon nakshatra with pada. Traditional charts stay on tropical Placidus.
Do both people need Vedic turned on to compare?
No. The viewer frame rules. A Vedic viewer sees Vedic signs, houses, nodes, and Guna Milan against any profile, even one whose owner uses Traditional. Both charts recompute in your frame so a tropical Leo is never mixed with a sidereal Karka.
What birth details does Guna Milan need?
Birth date, exact time, and place give the most complete result, because the Moon nakshatra moves fast. With an unknown birth time the Moon placement loses precision, so recover the time when you can.
Is a low koota a reason to unmatch?
No. Scores are prompts for conversation, not verdicts. A zero on Yoni names instinctive friction worth noticing. A Nadi dosha (same nadi, zero of 8) is a classical flag, not a command. Consent, communication, and time outrank any table.
What is missing from Vedic mode?
Vedic mode covers the rashi chart, Moon nakshatra, Vimshottari dasha on your birth chart, sidereal daily gochara in Astro Digest, and Guna Milan. Planet-wise nakshatras and vargas such as navamsa are not included yet.
