Numerology — name numerology (Pythagorean and Chaldean systems), life path number from birth date, lucky number derivation from name and birth date. Each follows the canonical reduction rules (single-digit reduction, master numbers 11/22/33).
Astrology — zodiac sign from birth date, basic kundli matching (Ashtakoota Guna Milan), Vedic astrology numbers. These are reference tools for personal interest; treat results as cultural/traditional rather than scientifically validated.
How Ashtakoota matching is scored
Guna Milan compares eight kootas between two birth charts and awards each a fixed maximum: Varna 1 point, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8. They add to 36, which is why compatibility is always quoted out of 36 rather than out of 100. The conventional threshold used by most families is 18 — half the total — with 18 to 24 read as acceptable, 25 to 32 as good and above 32 as rare.
Two of the eight carry disproportionate weight in practice. Nadi is worth 8 points on its own, so a Nadi dosha alone can drag an otherwise strong match below the threshold, and Bhakoot at 7 does much the same. Traditional practice allows both to be cancelled under specific chart conditions, which is a judgement an astrologer makes from the full horoscope rather than something any calculator can decide. Treat the score as the starting point of that conversation, not the end of it.
Why your sun sign may not match your rashi
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, anchored to the spring equinox. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, anchored to the fixed stars. The two drifted apart over the centuries and now differ by roughly 24 degrees, an offset called the ayanamsa. Because a zodiac sign spans 30 degrees, that gap is most of a whole sign — so someone born a Western Leo is very often a Vedic Cancer.
There is a second difference on top of it. Western astrology names you by the sun's position at birth; Vedic astrology usually names your rashi by the moon's. Since the moon moves through a sign in roughly two and a half days, the rashi needs an accurate birth time as well as a birth date. Neither system is a corrected version of the other — they answer different questions, and a mismatch between them is expected rather than an error.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology?
Pythagorean assigns numbers 1-9 to letters in alphabetical order (A=1, B=2, ... I=9, J=1, ...). Chaldean uses ancient Babylonian assignments where letters are grouped by sound (A,I,Y=1; B,K,R=2; etc.). Pythagorean is more common in Western numerology; Chaldean is preferred in traditional Indian numerology.
What is a life path number?
Life path is computed by adding all digits of your birth date (DD/MM/YYYY) and reducing to a single digit, except for master numbers 11, 22, and 33 which are kept. It's said to indicate your fundamental life direction in numerology traditions. Like all astrology, treat as cultural reference rather than predictive.
Are these calculators based on serious tradition?
Yes, the formulas follow standard Pythagorean numerology, Chaldean numerology, and Vedic kundli matching as documented in classical texts (Sepharial, Cheiro, Vedic Jyotish texts). We don't add interpretive readings — only the number itself, which you can interpret using whichever school of thought you prefer.
