How Is Compatibility Calculated?

Sun-sign compatibility measures how two zodiac personalities naturally interact based on their core traits, elemental nature, and ruling planets. Each percentage reflects four dimensions: love (emotional resonance), sexual (physical connection), friendship (ease of relating), and communication (how openly they exchange ideas). These scores are drawn from classical Vedic and Western astrological texts and reviewed by Shri Ankit Bansal.

Sun Sign Method

Based on ruling planet, element (Fire / Earth / Air / Water), and modality (Cardinal / Fixed / Mutable) of each sign. Gives a broad personality-level reading sourced from Brihat Jataka (Varahamihira, 6th century CE).

Vedic (Kundli) Method

Uses Ashtakoota Gun Milan — 8 factors scored out of 36 points as described in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. A score above 18 is compatible; above 28 is excellent for marriage.
