Love compatibility in Vedic astrology is read not from Sun signs, but from the deeper structure of two birth charts — the Moon, the house of partnership, Venus, and the time-tested Gun Milan score. This is why a Vedic compatibility reading feels specific rather than generic. Here is what actually decides a match.
What Vedic Astrology Looks At
- The Moon and its Nakshatra — emotional rhythm and mental fit; the basis of Gun Milan (see Moon sign).
- The 7th house and its lord — the natural house of marriage and partnership in each chart.
- Venus (Shukra) — love, attraction and how each person gives and receives affection.
- Mars (see Mangal Dosha) — checked in both charts for temperament and friction.
Gun Milan — The 36-Point Score
The classical Ashtakoot Gun Milan scores compatibility out of 36 points across eight factors — temperament, mental affinity, health and more — from the partners' Moon Nakshatras. A higher score suggests natural ease; specific doshas like Bhakoot and Nadi are checked too, along with their well-known exceptions. Full Kundli matching brings these together.
Why Not Just Sun Signs?
Popular "love compatibility" by Sun sign is shared by everyone born in a month, so it stays vague. Vedic compatibility reads the Moon, which changes sign every 2.25 days, and the actual partnership houses — far more personal. It is the Vedic counterpart to Western synastry, and it is more reliable than a name match alone.

What is a good Gun Milan score for love?
Gun Milan scores compatibility out of 36 points from the partners' Moon Nakshatras. A higher score suggests natural ease, but doshas like Bhakoot and Nadi and their exceptions are also weighed before any conclusion.
Is love compatibility by Sun sign accurate?
Sun-sign compatibility is shared by everyone born in a month, so it stays vague. Vedic astrology reads the fast-moving Moon and the actual partnership houses, which is far more personal.
