What is kundli matching for marriage?
+
Kundli matching, also called Guna Milan or Ashta Koota, is the Vedic process of comparing two birth charts to evaluate marital compatibility. It scores eight factors out of 36 points based on Nakshatra positions and gives a final compatibility number, with 18 and above generally considered acceptable.
How many points are needed for a good match?
+
A Guna Milan score of 18 or higher out of 36 is traditionally considered a good match. Scores from 24 to 32 are very good, and 32 or above is excellent. Below 18, the match is generally not recommended without examining specific dosha cancellations and broader chart compatibility.
What is checked in Vedic compatibility matching?
+
The VediqAstro compatibility checker reviews eight koota factors: Varna (spiritual compatibility), Vashya (mutual attraction), Tara (health and well-being), Yoni (sexual compatibility), Graha Maitri (mental compatibility), Gana (temperament), Bhakoot (love and family), and Nadi (genetic compatibility), then adds Mangal Dosha and Nadi Dosha analysis on top.
What is Nadi Dosha?
+
Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners share the same Nadi category (Adi, Madhya, or Antya), which is considered to carry health and progeny implications in Vedic astrology. It is the highest-weighted single factor in Guna Milan at 8 points. The tool flags Nadi Dosha and also checks for the cancellation rules that can neutralize it.
Do I need exact birth times for both people?
+
For full accuracy, yes. The exact birth time determines the Ascendant, planetary house positions, and dasha periods, which all feed into the compatibility analysis. If a birth time is missing, the tool still computes the Nakshatra-based Guna Milan but will note the limited dosha and house-level read.
Is online kundli matching as accurate as a real astrologer?
+
For the mathematical Guna Milan portion, yes, online tools that use Swiss Ephemeris (like VediqAstro) produce the same scores as a qualified astrologer would. The interpretation layer benefits from a human astrologer for nuanced cases, and VediqAstro adds AI-driven chart-grounded interpretation so you understand the why, not just the score.
Is the compatibility checker free?
+
Yes, basic compatibility checking is free. Enter both partnersβ birth details and get the Ashta Koota score, dosha analysis, and a recommendation in seconds. Detailed compatibility reports with timing windows and remedies are available as paid upgrades.
What if our compatibility score is low?
+
A low score is a signal to look deeper, not a final verdict. Many low-score matches succeed when there are specific cancellations, strong 7th house placements in both charts, or favorable transits at the time of marriage. Our tool will flag the specific weak factors so you can take them to a qualified astrologer.
