Common questions
- Is 17 out of 36 enough for marriage?
- It is under the traditional minimum of 18, at 47.2%. The total is only half the reading. Nadi, Bhakoot and Gana doshas can matter more than three or four points, so check them for your own pair.
- Can a 17 guna score be cancelled or improved?
- The score itself is arithmetic on both Moon positions, so nothing changes it. What can change is how much a dosha matters. Nadi, Bhakoot and Gana each have named cancellation rules, for example when both Moon signs share the same lord. Paid remedies do not alter a chart, so be wary of any site that sells them.
- Does birth time change a score of 17?
- Only if the Moon sits near a nakshatra boundary on the birth day. In that case a few minutes can move one koota, and the total with it. If you do not know the time, the tool shows which kootas stay fixed and which could change. Manglik needs the birth time.
- What should I do after getting 17 out of 36?
- Enter both sets of birth details to see your own score, koota by koota. Read the dosha lines and the rule that cancels each one. Take the printed questions to a pandit you trust, then share the result on WhatsApp if you want a second opinion.
- Is it free? Are there ads?
- Yes, it is free, and there are no ads. There is no sign-up or login either. Birth details are never kept on our servers. The API and MCP server are free too.
