While horoscope matching (Gun Milan) remains a key step in traditional Indian marriages, there’s a growing trend—especially on platforms like Reddit, Quora, and modern matchmaking forums—where couples openly share stories of low Gun Milan scores and yet highly successful marriages.
These real-life experiences challenge the belief that a low kundli score means a doomed relationship. So what really matters—stars or efforts?
Let’s look at real cases, key insights, and what you can learn from them if you're facing a similar dilemma.
Reddit User: u/happyvata
Couple met during MBA, fell in love.
Gun Milan score was only 12 out of 36.
Family astrologer warned them, but they chose understanding and respect over numbers.
Now happily married with a child and credit mutual compromise, therapy, and honest communication as key pillars.
Key Lesson: Low Gun score ≠ poor emotional compatibility.
User: From a Quora thread
Girl was Manglik, boy was not.
Graha Maitri and Nadi Dosha also didn’t match.
Families consulted a senior astrologer who suggested remedies like Kumbh Vivah, pujas, and gemstones.
Today, they run a business together and often talk about how belief in each other was stronger than planetary mismatch.
Key Lesson: Astrology offers remedies; it’s not a verdict but a map.
User Story: Shared in a marriage podcast
Couple didn’t get Gun Milan done at all.
Focused instead on value compatibility, emotional alignment, and common life goals.
Both believe marriage works because of daily effort, not celestial positions.
Key Lesson: When love is deep and shared vision is strong, horoscope becomes optional.
✅ Open communication
✅ Mutual respect
✅ Willingness to resolve conflict
✅ Astrological remedies (where believed necessary)
✅ Family support or patience in winning over family
Modern astrologers and relationship counselors now suggest:
Use Gun Milan as a guideline, not a judgment.
Focus on psychological, emotional, and practical compatibility.
Perform Kundli matching holistically, not just by number score.
🔹 If you’re in a love relationship, don’t panic. Check for major doshas (like Nadi, Bhakoot), and explore remedies.
🔹 If it’s an arranged marriage, have a full kundli review, not just gun tally.
🔹 Communication, values, effort, and trust often outweigh planetary alignments in the long run.
Real-life couples are proving that low Gun Milan doesn't mean low chances of a successful marriage. While astrology offers deep insights, it’s love, honesty, and shared effort that truly power a relationship.
