Vivah Milan: 36 Points, Then the 7th Lord

Graha maitri compares the friendship of the two Moon-sign lords and is worth 5, the largest piece after Nadi and Bhakoot. Gana compares deva, manushya, and rakshasa groupings and is worth 6. Tara counts nakshatras in nines, and the 3rd, 5th, and 7th remainders, vipat, pratyak, and vadha, are the unfavorable ones. Yoni gives each nakshatra an animal type and scores enemy pairs low, out of 4. Varna is only 1 point. It must not be used as a social rank of the two people. The whole sum is a lunar compatibility. Many families look for 18 or more, a custom, not a verse that ends the reading.

Mangal dosha is outside the 36. It is Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th, often also counted from the Moon and Venus. The 7th lord's house, Venus, and D9 decide whether the marriage has a structure. A score of 28 with both 7th lords in the 8th is a friendly Moon pair and a hard marriage. A score of 16 after a same-lord Bhakoot cancellation, with both 7th lords in kendras, can be the better wedding. Do the milan. Then do the lagnas. The birth cities matter, because the lagna, and therefore the 7th, moves with the zone offset.

Milan has no year in it. The year comes from Vimshottari. If the wedding is planned in the 7th lord's antardasha, the score and the clock agree more easily. If it is planned in the 12th lord's antardasha, milan can be excellent and the period can still be an exit season. Bring three things to the family table: the 36, the two 7th lords with D9, and the name of the bhukti. A single number is the lunar slice of that folder.
