Ashtakoot Milan - some Anomalies
Traditional astrologers have been using the method of Ashtakoot Milan for matching the horoscopes of boys and girls for marriage.
This method is based on Rashi and Nakshatra of Moon in the horoscope of both the boy and the girl.
Astrologers take into account Manglik dosha caused by Mars but not by other malefics like Sun, Saturn and Rahu / Ketu.
It also does not take into account lagna of both boy and girl and presence of malefics in lagna - 7th house, 6 12 axis and 2 8 axis which are important for any married life. It takes into account relative position of moon in the horoscopes of boy / girl known as Bhakoot dosha.
However, it does not take into account relative position of Venus (karaka of marriage), Jupiter (karaka for children) and Sun (karaka for personality). Certain cases have been observed where the Guna- Milan is around 10 12 but marital life has been successful for around 30- 40 years.
