What is Kismet

Kismet blends ancient astrology with modern technology to match you on eight dimensions of compatibility, before you ever swipe.

The matchmaking system behind Kismet has been used in India and across Asia for thousands of years. We turned it into an algorithm.

Eight dimensions of compatibility

First impressions can be shallow. These eight categories come from Vedic astrological matchmaking and reveal whether a match is built to last. Choose a dimension on the wheel.

Personality

Varna

Vedic astrology distills the vast field of personality into four elements: water, fire, earth, and air. Water and earth are traditionally feminine, fire and air traditionally masculine, and like attracts like.

Water governs feelings and the emotional body. Air governs the mind. Fire fuels the ego and lives in the heart. Earth governs the root and the physical body.

How your elements interact tells us whether two personalities will find harmony or friction.

Communication

Vashya

Good communication runs deeper than words. Vashya is a magnetic principle that attracts or repels energy between two people, an invisible pull that shapes how you respond to each other.

A strong match has you finishing each other's sentences. A weak one leaves conversations in fits and starts. Kismet looks for the balance where talk flows easily.

Birth Star

Tara

Vedic astrology recognizes 27 birth stars. The relationship between two people's stars is expressed through nine Tara points, from Janma (longevity) and Sampat (prosperity) through to Maitree and Aadhi-Maitree (deep compatibility and shared success).

A strongly paired Tara point points to a shared destiny that can last a lifetime.

Sexual

Yoni

Sexual chemistry governs vitality, and you know it when you feel it. Yoni measures how well two people's intimacy and physical compatibility align.

Think of it as Venus with a twist. Yoni reveals the spirit animal in each of us and whether two of them are ready to roam together.

Intellectual

Graha Maitri

The brain is a sexual organ too. A true meeting of minds fires neurons, releases hormones, and builds bonds that last.

Where classical mythology hands the mind to Jupiter, Vedic astrology emphasizes the Moon, the Star-Lord, which establishes mental compatibility, mutual affection, and natural friendship.

6 of 8

Temperament

Gana

Temperament can make or break a relationship. A fiery Mars type thrives on intensity; a mellow Moon type needs calm waters.

Gana classifies this animating spirit into three types: Deva, Manushya, and Rakshasa, often translated as angels, humans, and fallen angels. A partner who keeps your temperament in balance feeds your soul.

7 of 8

Emotional

Bhakoot

Waters run deep. The emotional body is ruled by the Moon, which sets your house placement. How two people's houses interact makes the emotional score positive or negative.

A well-aspected Moon leaves you feeling cared for and honored. A poorly aspected one can leave you feeling unseen. This is why Vedic astrology weighs the emotional dimension so heavily.

8 of 8

Health

Nadi

Shared health and lifestyle build a foundation for a prosperous future. Nadi, drawn from your birth star, classifies you as Aadi (air), Madhya (fire), or Antya (water).

Fire is cardinal and full of intrigue. Water is steady and full of feeling. Air is mutable and always on the move. The right partner helps you grow rather than wilt.

What early members say

Very excited to use this app. Sounds like the best idea in dating apps. I will recommend it to all my friends at my yoga class.

Nathalie, yoga instructor

So tired of swiping right and left in other apps. I would love to let the universe decide. I hope to find my Kismet.

Spencer, MBA

I think of kismet as fate. Downloaded the app and having so much fun with it. The people in the app are my type.
