Kundali Melapak (Horoscope Matching) is a unique and ancient 8-fold Vedic test of horoscope matching between a man and woman's charts for marriage.
The Natal Charts of the man and the woman are drawn and comparatively tested for compatibility in eight different ways. Each test has a score. While the maximum points that can be achieved under each test are different, the full 8-fold test can yield a maximum score of 36 points which judges how compatible you two are by seeing the zodiac signs and horoscopes .

Modern Relevance
Since these tests were formulated 3,000 years ago and based on the social norms and the role of marriage in the ancient society, we have also made this ancient test applicable to the new millennium by pointing out the basis of how the tests were scored, so that you can apply your own judgment of how important a particular aspect is in your personal relationship.
Although the techniques and the basis of this comparison originated in ancient times, the analysis has not lost its relevance today. This analysis brings out the difference in personality and nature between two people in a quantitative and more precise manner than any other astrological tool. It proves to be very accurate and relevant even today in gauging compatibility and the areas of strengths and weakness in a relationship.
The Scoring System
In presenting you this analysis, we have maintained the integrity of ancient principles in the scoring system and the weight age given to various aspects.
However, we want you to understand the principles behind it completely, so that you can understand the various aspects of your relationship in which you are completely compatible and where the problem areas may lie so that you are able to work on it.
All these factors combine together to make up 36 points or GUNAS. If a couple scores less than 18 then the match should be rejected .If the score is between 18 - 24, then the match is acceptable (average). If the score is between 25 - 32 then the match is very good (above average). If the score is above 32 then technically the match is excellent but a lot of other factors have to check since both persons will be of same nature and that is not conducive to long-term relationship.
The system by which this test assigns scores is that when and if in a relationship, the horoscope chart of a woman rates higher and is superior in intellectual, mental or physical powers than the chart of the man's, then the test will fail and there will be a low score or a zero score. The highest score is also given in this test in a woman's ability to be a mother.
We encourage you to study this test very closely for its ability to point out the difference in personality and ego between two different people and their strengths and weakness in maintaining a nurturing, caring and growing relationship over time.
