Where Yoni Sits Beside Nadi and Bhakoot in Milan

In kundali milan the yoni score is read after nadi, which is worth 8 points, and bhakoot, which is worth 7. A zero on yoni with full marks on nadi and a sound bhakoot is a different match from a zero on nadi. Nadi compares the three nadis, Aadi, Madhya, and Antya, and the same nadi is the classical dosha. Bhakoot compares the distance between the two Moon signs, with the 2/12, 5/9, and 6/8 pairs treated as the difficult ones. Yoni never measures those distances. Reporting only the animal score hides the koota that actually moved the total.

Varna is 1, vashya is 2, tara is 3, yoni is 4, graha maitri is 5, gana is 6, bhakoot is 7, and nadi is 8. If a couple scores 18, the useful question is which lines failed. Losing yoni's 4 and tara's 3 is not the same loss as losing nadi's 8. Gana compares deva, manushya, and rakshasa groupings of nakshatras. Graha maitri compares the lords of the Moon signs. None of these lines is the 7th house. Milan can be fully itemized and still leave both marriage houses unread. Do the itemizing so yoni is not blamed for a nadi problem.

Traditional practice sometimes softens bhakoot when the Moon-sign lords are mutual friends. That exception, where it is accepted, belongs to bhakoot. It does not award the missing yoni points back. Same Moon sign is another situation later astrologers discuss for certain doshas. Even then, the 7th lord of each lagna remains the marriage planet. A couple that clears every koota and has one 7th lord in the 12th still has a marriage that leans toward distance or expense. Milan explains the Moons. The lagnas explain the bond. Yoni is only one Moon-to-Moon line, and not the heaviest.
