Compatibility

Zodiac compatibility for love, marriage and friendship

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.

Moon sign compatibility

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.

Birth star matching

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.

Beyond the score

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.

Sign pairings explained

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.

Friendship and work

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.

Using compatibility responsibly

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.

Check compatibility

  1. Enter both people. Add birth dates, and times if known.
  2. Read the sign match. See how the Moon signs relate.
  3. Go deeper. Run Porutham or Guna Milan for marriage.
  4. Review with an astrologer. Book a consultation for a full reading.

Frequently asked questions

Is Moon sign or Sun sign used?

Vedic compatibility uses the Moon sign and Nakshatra. Western astrology uses the Sun sign.

What is a good Guna Milan score?

18 or more out of 36 is traditionally acceptable, and above 24 is considered good.

How many Poruthams should match?

Many families look for at least six of ten, with Rajju and Vedha in agreement.

Can a low score marriage work?

Yes. Deeper chart factors, cancellations and the couple's own commitment matter more than a single number.

What is Mangal Dosha?

Mars placed in certain houses from the Lagna, Moon or Venus. It is often balanced when both partners have it.

Do I need birth times?

Sign and star matching need only birth dates in most cases. Full chart matching needs exact times.

Which signs are most compatible?

Signs of the same element and those in the fifth, ninth or seventh position from each other are usually supportive.

Can I check compatibility with a friend?

Yes. Sign compatibility works for any relationship.

What is the Navamsa?

The ninth divisional chart, used to study marriage and the deeper strength of planets.

Is this the same as Porutham?

Porutham is the South Indian star matching system. This page is the broader starting point.

Can an astrologer review our match?

Yes. Book a consultation to have both full charts reviewed.

Is my data private?

Yes. Birth details are used only to calculate your result.
