Most people who have heard of Kundali matching know about the 36-point system. A score above 18 is acceptable, above 24 is good, and above 28 is excellent. But this number alone tells you very little.
Varna (1 point) — Spiritual compatibility and ego alignment.
Vashya (2 points) — Natural attraction and mutual influence.
Tara (3 points) — Health and wellbeing compatibility.
Yoni (4 points) — Physical and sexual compatibility.
Graha Maitri (5 points) — Mental and intellectual compatibility.
Gana (6 points) — Temperament compatibility — one of the most practically important.
Bhakoot (7 points) — Love, emotions, and family compatibility.
Nadi (8 points) — The most important. Governs long-term physical compatibility.
A low total score does not mean two people cannot have a good relationship. Many happily married couples have scores below 18. What matters more is whether the critical categories — Nadi, Bhakoot, and Gana — have zero scores, and whether those defects can be remedied by other strong planetary placements in the full chart.
