Ashtakoot compares the two Moons only. It does not check Manglik dosha, the seventh house, the ninth-part chart or the periods either person is running.
Match two charts
The matching tool runs all eight kootas on two birth charts and prints what produced each score — including the cancellations, named rather than silently applied.
