Kundli Milan Report

The two charts

Sidereal positions (Lahiri ayanamsa), whole-sign houses. The four drawings are each partner's Rashi (D1) and Navamsa (D9) charts, house 1 at the top.

The eight kootas, one by one

The traditional minimum is 18 of 36; 24 and above reads as good and 32 and above as excellent. Aarav Sharma and Meera Iyer score 19: an average score: at or above the traditional minimum of 18, below 24.

Varna · 0 of 1

Varna places each Moon sign in one of four temperaments by its element — water signs are Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya and air Shudra — and reads them in one direction, from the groom's to the bride's. It is the lightest koota: one point of thirty-six.

Aarav Sharma's Varna: Shudra. Meera Iyer's Varna: Vaishya.

The bride's Varna ranks above the groom's in this koota's order. It weighs one point in thirty-six and many astrologers treat it as the least telling of the eight; it is a prompt to make sure neither partner's way of working or worship is treated as the lesser one.

Vashya · 1 of 2

Vashya puts each Moon sign in a group — Chatushpada (four-footed), Manava (human), Jalachara (water-dwelling), Vanachara (wild) or Keeta (insect) — and reads how readily each nature responds to the other. Two points.

Aarav Sharma's Vashya group: Manava. Meera Iyer's Vashya group: Chatushpada.

The groups are compatible in some respects. Influence may run more easily one way than the other; deciding things together keeps it even.

Tara · 3 of 3

Tara counts the nakshatras from each partner's birth star to the other's, both ways, and reads where each count lands in the nine-tara cycle: Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema, Pratyari, Sadhaka, Vadha, Mitra and Parama Mitra. Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha are the three it reads as unfavourable. Each direction is worth 1.5 points.

Counting from Aarav Sharma's Mrigashira to Meera Iyer's Mrigashira gives 1 (Janma, favourable); from Meera Iyer's to Aarav Sharma's gives 1 (Janma, favourable).

Both counts land on favourable taras, which tradition reads as each partner supporting the other's fortune and wellbeing.

Yoni · 4 of 4

Yoni gives each nakshatra an animal symbol and reads the pair for instinctive and physical rapport: 4 points for the same animal, then friendly, neutral and unfriendly pairs, down to 0 for the seven classical opposed pairs. It is read from the groom's yoni to the bride's.

Aarav Sharma's yoni: Serpent. Meera Iyer's yoni: Serpent.

The same or a friendly animal pair: tradition reads easy physical and instinctive rapport.

Graha Maitri · 5 of 5

Graha Maitri reads the natural friendship between the lords of the two Moon signs — the planets that colour each partner's mind. Five points; it is the koota most often read for mental rapport and friendship.

Aarav Sharma's Moon is in Gemini, ruled by Mercury; Meera Iyer's is in Taurus, ruled by Venus. Mercury regards Venus as a friend, and Venus regards Mercury as a friend.

The two Moon-sign lords are the same planet or friends both ways: you are likely to think along similar lines and to be friends as well as partners.

Gana · 6 of 6

Gana sorts each birth star by temperament: Deva (gentle, idealistic), Manushya (practical, worldly) and Rakshasa (intense, independent). Six points, read from the groom's gana to the bride's.

Aarav Sharma's gana: Deva. Meera Iyer's gana: Deva.

Your temperaments sit easily together in daily life.

Bhakoot · 0 of 7

Bhakoot counts the signs between the two Moons. Moons 2-12, 6-8 or 5-9 signs apart score 0; every other spacing scores the full 7 points.

Aarav Sharma's Moon is in Gemini and Meera Iyer's in Taurus: 2-12 signs apart.

The Moons sit on one of the three Bhakoot axes, so this koota scores 0 — the Bhakoot dosha. The section on Nadi and Bhakoot below lists the parihars that apply.

Nadi · 0 of 8

Nadi assigns each birth star to one of three Nadis — Aadi (Vata), Madhya (Pitta) and Antya (Kapha) — and gives the full 8 points when they differ and 0 when they are the same. It is the heaviest koota.

Aarav Sharma's Nadi: Madhya. Meera Iyer's Nadi: Madhya.

Both birth stars share one Nadi, so this koota scores 0 — the Nadi dosha. The section on Nadi and Bhakoot below lists the parihars that apply.

The scores follow the classical tables as AstroSage applies them, so the total matches what most Indian matching sites print for the same two birth charts.

Manglik in both charts, and the cancellation rules

Mars raises Mangal Dosha when it sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from the Lagna, the Moon or Venus. Raised from all three it is High; from one or two, Low (partial). Classical cancellations are listed beside the level, never subtracted from it, so you see both.

Aarav Sharma: Low (partial) Mangal Dosha

Mars is in Capricorn: 10th from the Lagna; 8th from the Moon (raises it); 1st from Venus (raises it). It is raised from Moon and Venus — 67% of the three reference points.

• Mars is exalted.

Meera Iyer: Low (partial) Mangal Dosha

Mars is in Taurus: 11th from the Lagna; 1st from the Moon (raises it); 9th from Venus. It is raised from Moon — 33% of the three reference points.

• Mars is the yogakaraka (traditions differ on this one).
• The Moon is with Mars (traditions differ on this one).

Read together

Both charts raise Mangal Dosha at the same level. Tradition — and AstroSage's rule, which this report follows — reads two Manglik charts at the same level as balancing each other.

Deliberately not applied: the claim that Mangal Dosha ends at age 28, the idea that any two Manglik charts are automatically safe whatever their levels, and treating a debilitated Mars as a cancellation. None of these is in the classical texts this report follows.

Nadi and Bhakoot, and their parihars

Nadi (8 points) and Bhakoot (7 points) are the two heaviest kootas, which is why a 0 in either is called a dosha. Both have parihars — exceptions the texts list. As on the matching sites, a parihar is listed beside the dosha and the koota still shows 0; the parihars are for you, and any astrologer you consult, to weigh.

Nadi

Aarav Sharma: Madhya Nadi (Mrigashira). Meera Iyer: Madhya Nadi (Mrigashira). The same Nadi: Nadi dosha, 0 of 8.

• Same nakshatra but different Moon sign.
• The two Moon-sign lords are mutual friends.
• Both Moons are in Mrigashira but in different padas (4 and 1); the texts that discuss a shared nakshatra set the Nadi dosha aside in this case.
• In the Navamsa (D9) the two Moons fall in Scorpio (ruled by Mars) and Leo (ruled by Sun), and those lords are natural friends: a parihar some matching texts list.

Bhakoot

Aarav Sharma's Moon in Gemini, Meera Iyer's in Taurus: 2-12 signs apart. That is the 2-12 (Dwidwadash) axis: Bhakoot dosha, 0 of 7. The 2-12 axis (Dwidwadash) is read for money and daily spending: plan shared finances openly and early.

• The two Moon-sign lords are mutual friends.
• In the Navamsa (D9) the two Moons fall in Scorpio (ruled by Mars) and Leo (ruled by Sun), and those lords are natural friends: a parihar some matching texts list.

Rajju and Vedha

Two South Indian checks read from the birth stars, outside the 36 points. Rajju shows a clash (both stars in one Rajju group). South Indian practice weighs these alongside the whole chart; rarely on their own.

Aarav Sharma's 7th house, its lord and the Navamsa

The 7th house is Libra and its lord Venus sits in the 10th house: partnership is tied to career and public life; partners may meet through work or work together.

Venus is in a friend's sign — comfortable.

No planet occupies the 7th, so it is read through its lord and the planets that aspect it.

In the Navamsa — the chart classical practice reads for marriage — the 7th is Capricorn, and the birth-chart 7th lord Venus sits in Capricorn, the same sign as in the birth chart (vargottama), which strengthens it.

Venus is the Darakaraka — the planet with the lowest degree in its sign, which Jaimini reads as the spouse significator. It is in Capricorn in the 10th house and Capricorn in the Navamsa.

The Upapada Lagna, the Jaimini view of marriage, falls in Capricorn; read it beside the 7th, not instead of it.

Meera Iyer's 7th house, its lord and the Navamsa

The 7th house is Capricorn and its lord Saturn sits in the 8th house: partnership is linked with shared finances, in-laws and transformation — classically a house that asks for patience.

Saturn is in its moolatrikona — very strong, and it was retrograde at birth.

No planet occupies the 7th, so it is read through its lord and the planets that aspect it.

In the Navamsa — the chart classical practice reads for marriage — the 7th is Gemini, and the birth-chart 7th lord Saturn sits in Pisces (neutral there).

Venus is the Darakaraka — the planet with the lowest degree in its sign, which Jaimini reads as the spouse significator. It is in Virgo in the 3rd house and Capricorn in the Navamsa.

The Upapada Lagna, the Jaimini view of marriage, falls in Leo; read it beside the 7th, not instead of it.

Venus and Jupiter in both charts

Venus is the natural significator of love and partnership in every chart; the matching tradition also reads Jupiter as the husband's significator in a woman's chart. Their condition colours how easily affection and commitment flow.

• Aarav Sharma's Venus is in a friend's sign — comfortable in Capricorn, vargottama (the same sign in the Navamsa).
• Aarav Sharma's Jupiter is in a friend's sign — comfortable in Leo, and in Virgo in the Navamsa (enemy).
• Meera Iyer's Venus is debilitated — the weakest sign condition, to be read with the rest of the chart in Virgo, and in Capricorn in the Navamsa (friendly).
• Meera Iyer's Jupiter is in an enemy's sign — less comfortable in Libra, and in Capricorn in the Navamsa (debilitated).

Across the two charts

Where one partner's Moon, Venus and Jupiter fall, counted from the other partner's Moon and Lagna. Trines and angles are read as easy and prominent contacts; the 6th, 8th and 12th as contacts that ask for care.

Temperament: the two Moons and their nakshatras

Aarav Sharma's Moon is in Gemini (Air) and Meera Iyer's in Taurus (Earth). Air and earth Moons: ideas meet practicality. One plans in the head, the other in the hands; both styles get the job done.

The Moon-sign lords, Mercury and Venus: Mercury regards Venus as a friend, and Venus regards Mercury as a friend — the friendship Graha Maitri scored at 5 of 5.

Gana: Aarav Sharma is Deva, Meera Iyer is Deva (6 of 6). Your temperaments sit easily together in daily life.

Aarav Sharma: Mrigashira

Mrigashira is ruled by Mars; its deity is Soma (Moon) and its symbol the deer head. Its gana is Deva and its yoni the serpent.

Swarn Siddhi's nakshatra library describes the Mrigashira way of loving like this, addressed to the native: “You enjoy the chase more than the catch. You need a partner who keeps a small mystery, who reads, who travels with you in mind and place. Routine kills the romance, so build new shared experiences regularly.”

These are classical descriptions of a nakshatra, not of a person. Use them as a starting point for conversation and keep what fits.

Timing: both dashas and your marriage windows

Vimshottari periods from 26 Oct 2026 to 25 Oct 2031. A marriage-significator window is a sub-period of the 7th lord, Venus, Jupiter or the Darakaraka in a chart, as the marriage-timing calculator finds it. A window is a period in which partnership is foregrounded, not a date.

Aarav Sharma's marriage-significator windows

Meera Iyer's marriage-significator windows

Where your windows overlap

In these spans both charts are running a period that foregrounds partnership at the same time. Traditionally that is when a marriage decision is read as better supported by timing — context for planning, not a reason to hurry or to wait.

Jupiter and Saturn on both 7th houses

The double transit (K. N. Rao's rule): transiting Jupiter and Saturn both on, or aspecting, the 7th house counted from the Lagna. Sampled every five days.

• Aarav Sharma (Aries Lagna): 29 Dec 2028 – 29 Mar 2029 and 10 Oct 2029 – 23 Jan 2030.
• Meera Iyer (Cancer Lagna): 3 Jun 2027 – 23 Jun 2027, 28 Feb 2028 – 28 Feb 2028, 27 Jul 2028 – 24 Dec 2028 and 3 Apr 2029 – 6 Aug 2029.

Dasha sandhi

South Indian matching reads two Mahadasha changes falling close together as Dasa Sandhi. No such pair falls within a year of each other in the next five years.

A wedding date is chosen with a muhurat for the day itself; these windows are the background, not the date.
