Compatibility
Compatibility in Vedic astrology compares two people's Moon signs, birth stars and full charts. Start with a quick sign-to-sign reading, then go deeper with Porutham or Guna Milan when you are considering marriage. Every result explains why two charts agree or clash, so you can understand the relationship rather than just see a score.
Vedic astrology gives the Moon sign more weight than the Sun sign for relationships, because the Moon describes the mind, emotions and daily temperament. Signs of the same element: fire, earth, air or water, usually understand each other easily. Signs in the second-twelfth or sixth-eighth relationship from each other are traditionally considered harder, while the fifth-ninth and seventh relationships are considered supportive.
For marriage, families in South India compare the two Nakshatras using the ten Poruthams, and in North India the Ashtakoota system of 36 points, known as Guna Milan. Both look at temperament, health, mutual attraction, longevity of the union and progeny. A good star match is a strong start, but it is only one part of the picture.
A complete compatibility reading also checks Mangal Dosha in both charts, the seventh house and its lord, Venus for the husband and Jupiter for the wife in traditional readings, the Navamsa chart, and the Dasha periods both people will run in the early years of marriage. Two charts with a modest point score can still work well when these deeper factors agree.
Each of the 144 sign pairings has its own page describing how the two signs relate: shared strengths, typical friction points and what helps the relationship. Browse the pairings to understand your own match or a friend's.
Compatibility is not only for marriage. The same principles help you understand friendships, business partnerships and family relationships. Signs ruled by friendly planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter group, or the Mercury, Venus and Saturn group, tend to cooperate naturally.
Astrology can show where two people may need patience and understanding. It cannot decide whether a relationship will succeed: respect, communication and shared values matter most. Use compatibility as one input alongside family conversation and your own judgement.
Vedic compatibility uses the Moon sign and Nakshatra. Western astrology uses the Sun sign.
18 or more out of 36 is traditionally acceptable, and above 24 is considered good.
