Dhanishta groom & Ashlesha bride: guna milan

Traditional Ashtakoota score when the groom's Moon is in Dhanishta and the bride's Moon is in Ashlesha.

One of these nakshatras spans two Moon signs, so the score depends on the sign. Each combination is shown.

Groom's MoonBride's MoonScore
Dhanishta · Capricorn (Makar)Ashlesha · Cancer (Kark)26/36
Dhanishta · Aquarius (Kumbh)Ashlesha · Cancer (Kark)17.5/36

Traditional kundli score

26/36

25–32: traditionally considered good.

A starting point, not a verdict. The 36-point score looks only at the Moon. Check Nadi and Bhakoot first; the 7th house and Navamsa of both charts matter more than any single number.

Pehle Nadi dekhiye, phir Bhakoot, aur uske baad total score. Agar dono saaf hain toh 18/36 bhi kaam ka hai.

Traditional exceptions (parihara)

Nadi and Bhakoot both scored full points, so there is no dosha to check.

Exception rules vary between traditions (rule set parihara-1.0, pending specialist validation). The raw score above is not changed.

Koota-by-koota breakdown

  • Varna · Spiritual temperament

    Groom: Vaishya · Bride: Brahmin

    0/1

    Compares the Moon sign's traditional varna category. The groom's category equal to or higher than the bride's gives 1 point.

  • Vashya · Mutual attraction & influence

    Groom: Jalachara (water) · Bride: Jalachara (water)

    2/2

    Groups Moon signs into five types (human, quadruped, water, wild, insect) and scores how they relate.

  • Tara · Birth star harmony

    Groom: Dhanishta · Bride: Ashlesha

    1.5/3

    Counts nakshatras from each person to the other. Counts falling on the 3rd, 5th or 7th tara are traditionally unfavourable.

  • Yoni · Physical & intimate nature

    Groom: Lion · Bride: Cat

    1/4

    Each nakshatra has an animal symbol. Same or friendly animals score high; natural enemies score 0.

  • Graha Maitri · Mental friendship

    Groom: Saturn · Bride: Moon

    0.5/5

    Compares the friendship between the lords of both Moon signs.

  • Gana · Temperament

    Groom: Rakshasa · Bride: Rakshasa

    6/6

    Each nakshatra is Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa in temperament. Similar ganas score higher.

  • Bhakoot · Family & prosperity

    Groom: Capricorn (Makar) · Bride: Cancer (Kark)

    7/7

    Looks at the distance between Moon signs. 2/12, 5/9 and 6/8 positions score 0; all others score 7.

  • Nadi · Health & lineage

    Groom: Madhya · Bride: Antya

    8/8

    Each nakshatra belongs to Adi, Madhya or Antya nadi. The same nadi scores 0 (traditionally called nadi dosha); different nadis score 8.

Why half points? Tara gives 1.5 points per direction, and Vashya and Graha Maitri can give 0.5, so scores like 28.5 are normal and precise.

This is traditional astrological information. It does not predict whether a marriage will succeed, and it should never be the only reason to accept or decline a rishta.

A true 36/36 is rare. If a site keeps showing 36/36, its calculation is likely broken, or two names simply mapped to the same syllable group.

Not evaluated here: Manglik exceptions, the 7th house and Navamsa of both charts, and regional variations. Ask a qualified astrologer if these matter to your family.
