Short answer
Traditionally, a minimum of 18 out of 36 gunas is required. 18-24 is average, 24-32 is good and above 32 is excellent. Nadi and Bhakoot doshas and the Manglik status should be checked alongside the score.
The detail behind it
Traditional matching uses Ashtakoota gun milan (36 points across eight kootas) plus a Manglik check. A careful astrologer then compares the two full charts, because a high score with a weak 7th house can still be a poor match.
Houses that matter here
| House | Name | Themes |
|---|---|---|
| 7th | Kalatra Bhava | marriage and spouse, partnerships and business deals |
| 8th | Ayu Bhava | longevity, sudden events and inheritance and in-laws |
| 2nd | Dhana Bhava | savings and wealth, family and speech |
