Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Ashtakoot score?+
An Ashtakoot score of 18 or above (out of 36) is generally considered acceptable for marriage. 28+ is excellent, 18–27 is good, 12–17 is moderate, and below 12 needs careful astrological consultation. Score alone isn't the full picture — Mangal Dosha and Nadi compatibility also matter.
Why do I need exact birth time?+
Birth time determines the ascendant (Lagna) and is essential for accurate planetary placements. The Moon's Nakshatra changes every ~13 hours — even an hour's error can shift Tara, Gana, Yoni, and Nadi koota results.
Is Nadi Dosha a deal-breaker?+
Nadi carries the most weight (8 points). Same Nadi between bride and groom is traditionally considered a strong concern affecting health and progeny. However, classical texts also list cancellation conditions — same Rashi but different Nakshatra, certain planetary positions — that mitigate it. A senior astrologer should review the full chart.
What if our score is low?+
Don't panic. The 36-point Ashtakoot is one layer of compatibility analysis. Many successful marriages have scores below 18 — the full chart reveals dasha alignment, Mangal Dosha mutual cancellation, 7th house strength, and other factors that aren't in the Ashtakoot.
