What a sign match cannot see
Two people can share Karka and Makara and still have very different relationships. The lagna, the 7th house, Shukra, the navamsa and the dasha each of you is running matter more than signs alone. Kundli milan brings the nakshatras in, and a guide can read both charts together.
