Compatibility and matching.

Vedic compatibility reading: Ashtakuta gun-milan, individual kuta deep-dives, Manglik cancellation rules, navamsa overlay technique, atmakaraka pair reading, and answers to the most-asked compatibility questions across same-sex, second-marriage, age-difference, inter-faith, divorce-timing and the should-I-marry decision.

Computed context

The compatibility sky, 2026 to 2028

A kuta score is a natal-to-natal read. The eight-kuta gun-milan compares two birth Moons, and no transit changes that score: a pairing that scored 24 points in 2020 scores 24 points in 2028. What the sky adds is the timing layer the two charts share, the windows in which a match that already works on paper is classically supported in practice. The static framework itself is built from first principles in Ashtakuta gun-milan.

The benefic layer comes first. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, in full from 27 May 2026 to 19 June 2027 after a first taste from 6 October to 18 December 2025, and then runs Leo, previewed from 23 October 2026 to 3 February 2027 with the full stay from 19 June 2027. By whole-sign counting, Cancer is the 7th house for a Capricorn ascendant and Leo is the 7th for an Aquarius ascendant, so those two ascendants carry the benefic directly in the partnership house during those dated windows. Classical practice reads that as the sky cooperating with a decision already justified by the two charts.

The node chapters press the same axis from the other side. Until 27 December 2026, Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo sit across the 1st-7th axis for Leo and Aquarius ascendants. From 27 December 2026 to 15 July 2028, Rahu in Capricorn and Ketu in Cancer do the same for Cancer and Capricorn ascendants. The classical reading is that Rahu on the axis amplifies partnership appetite while Ketu detaches, so a node chapter is when the axis questions get loud, whichever way the natal promise points.

The limitation carries the same weight as the signal. A window shared by roughly one birth in twelve personalises nothing on its own, and no transit overrides a structural mismatch between two charts. The decision stack this cluster recommends runs the other way around: the static kuta screen first, then the navamsa overlay, then the 5-layer check, and only after those the shared timing windows above.

Graded calls

On the record in this domain

No compatibility call has been graded. That is stated plainly because the temptation in this domain runs the opposite way: matching verdicts are usually delivered with total confidence and never checked afterward. Tempora's position is that an uncheckable verdict earns no place on a scoreboard, and a falsifiable partnership call, dated, public and checkable, has not yet been published.

The discipline this domain will be held to already runs elsewhere: 9 graded flagship calls at a 50 percent hit rate, with misses published and left up. When a compatibility claim can carry a falsifier it will be graded under those same rules, on the tracker.

Frequently asked questions

Does a transit change our gun-milan score?

No. The kuta score compares the two natal Moons and stays fixed for the life of the pairing. Transits add a shared timing layer on top of the static score, which is why this page separates the two: the score answers whether, the windows answer when the sky cooperates.

Which ascendants carry partnership windows between 2026 and 2028?

Capricorn ascendants carry exalted Jupiter in the 7th from 27 May 2026 to 19 June 2027, and Aquarius ascendants carry it in the Leo windows, 23 October 2026 to 3 February 2027 and from 19 June 2027. The node axis sits on the 1st-7th for Leo and Aquarius ascendants until 27 December 2026, then for Cancer and Capricorn ascendants until 15 July 2028. All of this keys on the ascendant, which requires a birth time; a free computed reading is available at /kaal/imprint.

Why has no compatibility call been graded?

Because grading needs a falsifier written in advance and a public outcome to check it against, and partnership outcomes rarely offer either. The scoreboard the rest of the corpus answers to, 9 flagship calls at 50 percent with misses left up, is at /tracker, and this domain joins it only when a call can honestly fail there.
