"Guna' matching or 'Koota' matching" is only one of the several other factors which are to be considered for-proper matching for marriage. Following is the name of eight kootas

1- Varna Points or Gunas [Max. 1 point/Gunas]

Brahmins or Vipra - 4/8/12 rashis

Kshatriyas - 1/5/9 rashis

Vaishyas - 2/6/10 rashis

Shudras - 3/7/11 rashis

In this Varna Koota - Brahmin is the highest Varna, and Kshatriyas Vaishyas and Shudras are inferior in order. For proper varna matching, Varna of the boy should be superior to the girl's Varna, and one point is bestowed for this. For the same Varna, one point is allocated. Where Varna of the girl is superior, in this case, no point is given.

Varna of boy superior to the girl's Varna - 1 point or Guna

For the same Varna of boy and Girl - 1 point or Guna

Varna of the girl superior to the boy - No point

2- Vashya Gunas [Max. 2 points/Gunas]

Vashya means within control. In this Koota, the characteristics of different Zodiac signs are studied. To get which zodiac sign is controllable to Which sign.  The characteristics of different Zodiac signs are

In other instances, no point/Guna is allotted.

Vashya and Bhakshya will  depend on the nature of signs, e.g.,

All Jalachara are 'Bhakshya'

3- Tara Points or Gunas [Max. 3 points/Gunas]

Count from boy's nakshatra to girl's nakshatra and divide the outcome by nine; if the remainder is 3 - 5 or 7, the tara is malefic; in all other cases, the Tara is benefic. 1.5 points or Guna are allotted to benefic tara.

Again Count from girl's nakshatra to boy's nakshatra and divide the outcome by nine; if the remainder is 3 - 5 or 7, it is malefic; in all other cases, it is benefic tara. 1.5 points or Guna are allotted to benefic tara.

Therefore on both countings, we receive a benefic tara 3 points or Gunas are alloted. If one counting grants benefic but another counting grants malefic tara 1.5 points are allotted. In any different cases, no points or Gunas are allotted.

Both countings benefic tara - 3 Point or Gunas

If one Rashi lord is friendly, and the other is neutral (e.g., Mercury and Saturn) - 4 points or Gunas. Both Rashi lords neutral to each other will get '3' points or Gunas (e.g., Jupiter and Saturn). One Rashi lord friendly to others while the other is inimical 1 point or Guna is allotted (e.g., Moon and Mercury). If One Rashi lord neutral to others while other is inimical 1/2 point is given. In all distinct cases, no point or Gunas is allotted.

The navamsha lords of rashis of both boy and girl should also be examined for proper matching

6- Gana Points or Gunas [Max. 6 points/Gunas]

c- Rakshasha Gana: Magha, Ashlesha; Dhanishtha, Jyestha, Moola, Shatbhisha, Vishakha, Kritika, and Chitra are 'Rakshasha Gana'.

If there is a Rashi-Maitri, Yoni-matching, and Bhakoota matching between boy and girl marriage can take place even without Gana matching. Gana matching is essential for 'Vaishyas'.

In a case where Rashi Lords or navamsha lords of rashis of both boy and girl are identical, 'Gana-dosha' will fail its maleficence.

7- Bhakoota Points or Gunas [ Max. 7 point/Gunas]

Bhakoota matching examines the corresponding positions of Janma Rashis (natal moon signs) of boy and girl.  If the Janma Rashis are in 2-12; 5-9 or 6-8 positions from each other, it is supposed to malefic, and no point is allotted. In all different positions, 7 points are allotted.

The following factors must be kept in mind, apart from considering the Bhakoota points or Gunas.

A- Identical Janma Rashi: Where boy and girl have same Janma Rashi, it is supposed benefic if they possess other nakshatras, or if they are having the same nakshatra, they should not have the same charana of that nakshatra.

B- 2-12 position of Rashi: This is called 'Dwirdwadasha' dosha and should be avoided.

E 5-9 positions: Although the Rashi-Lords will ever be friends in this position, it is considered malefic and is called 'Nava-Panchama' dosha, and no point is allotted. But all 5-9 positions are not similar. Where girl's Janma-Rashi is 5th from that of the boy, it is considered more malefic than the where girl's Janam Rashi is 9th from that of the boy. It is said to produce problems correlating to progeny.

F 6-8 positions of Rashi

Relative nakshatra positions or Stri-Doora. 

Count from girl's nakshatra to boy's nakshatra - Up to nine is considered malefic. 10 to 18 is deemed to be medium, and the rest of the position is considered auspicious. To put it, in other words, farther the boy's nakshatra from girl's nakshatra, the better is it.

PROPER PROCEDURE FOR MATCHING 

The following step-by-step approach can be followed for proper matching of horoscopes of boy and girl. 

1. Analyze the longevity of both boy and girl from their horoscopes.

2. Analyze the longevity of the boy from the girl's chart (i.e., see if there is any combination of widowhood in the girl's chart) and analyze the longevity of girl from the boy's chart (i.e., see if there is any combination of widower hood in the boy's chart).

3 Analyze 7th house for married life and all aspects related to marriage: 4th house for domestic comforts; 12th house for comforts of the bed; 5th house for progeny; 2nd house for 'Kutumba' or family and other houses as well for both boy and girl from their respective charts and note which houses are afflicted.

4 Analyze the above aspects for the boy from girl's chart taking 7th house as Lagna and for the girl from the boy's chart taking 7th house as Lagna (i.e., analyze 7th from 7th, 5th from 7th, 4th from 7th, 2nd from 7th and all other houses) and see whether afflictions which were found in step-3 are aggravated or reduced.

5. Analyze the coming 'dashas' of both boy and girl and analyze their effects for both boy and girl from their respective charts and from each other's chart 

6. After taking the above steps, one can go for 'koota matching' Such other matchings are based on 'moon-signs or birth-constellations. '

Some Important Points for matching horoscope

I. Match a person having combinations for widowhood with a person having combinations for widower-hood.

2. Match a person with a particular house affiliated with a person who is having similar afflictions in that house. For example, a person with Mars placed in the 7th house should be matched with another having Mars, preferably in the 7th house or any other malefic in 7th house. A similar rule should be followed for other houses as far as possible. Vaidyanatha Parijata gives a hint to this respect 

"धून कुटुम्ब गतौ यदि पापों दारवियोगजदुःख करौ तौ।
तादृश योगज दार युतः चेत् जीवति पुत्र धनादियतश्च। "

That is, where malefic is placed in 2nd and 7th house, it will cause separation from spouse and miseries, but if such person gets a spouse with similar afflictions, he will have good progeny, wealth, and married life.

3. Where there are combinations of widowhood, widower hood, or multiple marriages, the remedies prescribed in 'Shastras' can be made use of. Like one can have 'Pratima-Vivaha' (i.e., symbolic marriage) before actually getting married to a particular person. 

Thus one can see that matching for marriage is not as simple it to be. Moreover, the stability of marriages is related to the quality of matching, but it is also related to "Desha-Kaala-Patra."
