Ashtakoota

Guna Milan, the classical Vedic eight-fold compatibility count. Two people's birth stars are scored across eight kutas worth 36 points in all: Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8. Aunt Starling reads the result as a texture between two natures, never as a verdict on a relationship.
