In Vedic astrology, the matching of the
partner's horoscopes has always assumed
great importance at the time of marriage.
It is generally believed that the matching
of the horoscopes is essential for a better
understanding of compatibility, prospects
for progeny and the wellbeing of the partners
in all spheres.
After assessing the individual longevity
and Mangalik Dosha, there is a further
step in the matching of the horoscopes.
In Vedic astrology, horoscopes are matched
along eight parameters, as the name itself
signifies - Astha Koota Milan. Each category
is given a specific weighting. The maximum
weighting in terms of points amounts to
36 points. Here Graha, Gana, Bhakoota
and Nadi are given special consideration.
Half of the total of these points is
18, so if 18 points match, the overall
compatibility is said to be average..
Matching from 18-21 is generally considered
an Average Match.
Matching from 22-25 is generally considered
a Fair Match.
Matching from 26-30 is generally considered
a Good Match.
Matching above 30 points is considered
an Excellent Match.
