Below the traditional 18-point threshold to acceptable match
At least one of these Nakshatras spans two Moon signs depending on pada, so the score changes with the sign combination (groom sign / bride sign):
| Koota | Taurus / Capricorn | Taurus / Aquarius | Gemini / Aquarius | Gemini / Capricorn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna (1) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya (2) | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Tara (3) | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Yoni (4) | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Graha Maitri (5) | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Gana (6) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot (7) | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Nadi (8) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 20 | 19 | 12 | 10 |
- Gana: groom Deva, bride Rakshasa.
- Nadi: groom Madhya, bride Madhya: the same Nadi, so Nadi dosha (0 of 8).
- Yoni: Serpent and Lion.
Full marks in: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot. Zero in: Gana, Nadi. The reverse pairing (a Dhanishta boy with a Mrigashira girl) scores 11–20.

Frequently asked questions
How many Gun Milan points do a Mrigashira boy and Dhanishta girl get?
A Mrigashira groom and Dhanishta bride score 10–20 of 36.
Is there Nadi dosha between Mrigashira and Dhanishta?
Yes. Both share the same Nadi, so the Nadi koota scores 0 of 8. Some traditions allow exceptions; have the full charts reviewed.
Is Gun Milan enough on its own?
No. It scores the eight kootas from the Moon Nakshatra. Mangal dosha and planetary placements need the complete charts.
Scores use the common North-Indian 36-point Ashtakoota from each partner's Moon Nakshatra. Different software can differ by a point or two because some tables vary, and Mangal dosha and full-chart checks are not included. This is guidance, not a verdict.
