How do I read the nakshatra matching chart?

Find the groom's nakshatra in the left column and the bride's across the top. The cell shows their Ashtakoota score out of 36; click it for the koota-wise breakdown and doshas.

How many gunas should match for marriage?

18 of 36 is traditionally the minimum, 24+ is good and 32+ excellent. Nadi and Bhakuta doshas are reviewed separately.

Why does the score change with rashi?

Nine nakshatras span two rashis. Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakuta depend on the Moon rashi, so the pada can change the total. The chart uses the rashi covering most padas.
