How the order of birth details affects matching
The tables are directional: Person A uses the traditional groom column and Person B the bride row, independently of gender identity. Swapping people can change Varna, Vasya and Gana. No caste information is requested.
Ashtakoota
Eight kootas, thirty-six gunas
Matching is built from eight kootas, each carrying a different weight: one guna for Varna, eight for Nadi. Together they make 36.
- Varna1 gunaOrder of the Moon-sign elements
- Vasya2 gunasThe five Vasya groups of the Moon signs
- Tara3 gunasCounting between the two birth stars
- Yoni4 gunasThe symbolic animal of each nakshatra
- Graha Maitri5 gunasFriendship of the Moon-sign lords
- Gana6 gunasDeva, Manushya or Rakshasa gana
- Bhakoot7 gunasDistance between the two Moon signs
- Nadi8 gunasAdi, Madhya or Antya nadi
Gunas are the tradition's language of matching. They do not measure a relationship's success, health or anyone's worth.

From birth details to 28.5 points: a complete worked example
This is an actual, non-saved calculation for two fictional people. It contains no customer data and is not a relationship outcome study. Both charts use True Chitra, whole-sign houses and the true node.
Example updated: · north-india-basic-2026.2 · de440s-natal-2026.4
| Role | Date and local time | Place and coordinates | Timezone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example A | 1990-01-01 · 09:30:00 | New Delhi, India 28.6139, 77.209 | Asia/Kolkata |
| Example B | 1992-06-15 · 16:45:00 | Mumbai, India 19.076, 72.8777 | Asia/Kolkata |
| Factor | Awarded | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Varna | 0 | 1 |
| Vasya | 2 | 2 |
| Tara | 1.5 | 3 |
| Yoni | 1 | 4 |
| Graha Maitri | 3 | 5 |
| Gana | 6 | 6 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 |
| Nadi | 8 | 8 |
| Total | 28.5 | 36 |
0 + 2 + 1.5 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 28.5. The shortfalls are 1 in Varna, 1.5 in Tara, 3 in Yoni and 2 in Graha Maitri: 7.5 in total. Check it again as 36 − 7.5 = 28.5.

Methodology and limitations
The calculation uses Skyfield and JPL DE440s, historical timezones and your selected profile. Selected Nadi, Bhakoot and Mars exceptions, four regional checks and two Papasamyam comparisons appear alongside the unchanged 36-point score. Wedding-date selection is a separate tool.
These pages explain the implemented calculation. Astrological interpretation is not scientifically established prediction. Independent astronomy fixtures check selected reference cases; they do not certify every tradition or interpretation.
