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 | Cancer / Capricorn | Gemini / Aquarius | Gemini / Capricorn | Cancer / Aquarius |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna (1) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya (2) | 0.5 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Tara (3) | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| Yoni (4) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri (5) | 0.5 | 4 | 4 | 0.5 |
| Gana (6) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot (7) | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Nadi (8) | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Total | 19.5 | 17.5 | 15.5 | 13 |
- Gana: groom Deva, bride Rakshasa.
- Nadi: groom Aadi, bride Madhya: different Nadi, 8 of 8.
- Yoni: Cat and Lion.
Full marks in: Varna, Bhakoot, Nadi. Zero in: Gana. The reverse pairing (a Dhanishta boy with a Punarvasu girl) scores 12–18.5.

Frequently asked questions
How many Gun Milan points do a Punarvasu boy and Dhanishta girl get?
A Punarvasu groom and Dhanishta bride score 13–19.5 of 36.
Is there Nadi dosha between Punarvasu and Dhanishta?
No. The Nadi differs, so the Nadi koota scores the full 8 points.
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.
