Kundali matching, also known as Guna Milan, has been an integral part of the Hindu marriage system for centuries. Far from being a superstitious practice, it's a sophisticated astrological technique that analyzes compatibility between two individuals on multiple levels.

The 8 Gunas (Aspects) of Compatibility

1. Vashya (Dominance Patterns) - Analyzes the power dynamics and influence patterns

1. Tara (Destiny & Prosperity) - Looks at the birth stars and their impact on mutual fortune

1. Yoni (Sexual Compatibility) - Focuses on physical and intimate compatibility

1. Graha Maitri (Mental Harmony) - Examines intellectual and emotional synchronicity

1. Gana (Temperament) - Analyzes personality types (divine, human, or demonic)

1. Bhakoot (Day-to-day Compatibility) - Looks at how couples handle daily life and routines

1. Nadi (Health & Progeny) - Examines genetic compatibility and potential health issues

• Psychological Profiling - The positions of planets at birth can correlate with certain personality traits

• Complementary Energies - Identifying whether two people's natural energies enhance or conflict with each other

• Life Cycle Analysis - Predicting how both individuals will develop over time and whether their growth paths are compatible

• Which particular factors are matching or mismatching

• The strength of complementary elements in the charts
