The Scoring System of Gun Milan
Ancient principles in the scoring system and the weight age given to various aspects are given as per the vedic texts. However, we want you to understand the principles behind it completely.
All these factors combine together to make up 36 points or GUNAS. If a couple scores less than 18 then the match should be rejected. If the score is between 18 – 24, then the match is acceptable (average). If the score is between 25 – 32 then the match is very good (above average). If the score is above 32 then technically the match is excellent but a lot of other factors have to check since both persons will be of same nature and that is not conducive to long-term relationship.
The system by which this test assigns scores is that when and if in a relationship, the horoscope chart of a woman rates higher and is superior in intellectual, mental or physical powers than the chart of the man’s, then the test will fail and there will be a low score or a zero score. The highest score is also given in this test in a woman’s ability to be a mother.
We encourage you to study this test very closely for its ability to point out the difference in personality and ego between two different people and their strengths and weakness in maintaining a nurturing, caring and growing relationship over time.

The counting is done from Her Birth Star to that of His and from His Birth Star to that of Her’s. If by dividing each of them by the other, the remainder comes to 3, 5, 7 then the Tara is inauspicious. If the remainder comes to 1, 2, 4, 6 8, 0 then it is auspicious. The points are determined according to the auspicious and inauspicious Birth Stars of both the partners.
