What is Vedic astrology compatibility?

Vedic astrology compatibility (Kundli matching) is an ancient Indian method of assessing relationship compatibility based on the birth charts of two individuals. It analyzes factors like Nakshatra (birth star), Rashi (moon sign), and various Kootas to determine compatibility.
