Confirm it with your astrologer, with both charts.

The key point

The fault here is in Gana. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Budha (Mercury), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

The North Indian way

14of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is below it. The two traditions differ here.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 14 of 36 — the two traditions differ here.

Varna — the order of the two signs0 of 1 · none

The bride's group stands above the groom's, the reverse of the order wanted here, so it scores nothing.

Vashya — mutual influence1 of 2 · partly

The two moon signs fall in neighbouring groups, which counts as a partial agreement for the marriage.

Tara — wellbeing1½ of 3 · partly

The count is favourable one way and not the other, so this scores in part for wellbeing in the marriage.

Yoni — physical compatibility4 of 4 · full

Both stars share one animal symbol: the strongest score for physical compatibility in a marriage.

Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords½ of 5 · partly

By natural friendship, one ruler is hostile to the other, so this scores low for friendship in the marriage.

Gana — disposition0 of 6 · none

One temperament is manushya and the other rakshasa: an opposed pair for a marriage.

Bhakoot — the pairing of the moon signs7 of 7 · full

The distance between the two moon signs is not one counted against a marriage, so this earns full marks.

Nadi — constitution0 of 8 · none

Husband and wife share one constitution, which is what Nadi dosha means.

  • Nadi dosha — present, and none of the classical exceptions clear it.

Eighteen of thirty-six is the line families use; the kootas above say more than the total.

The ten, one by one

Dina and Rajju come first. Tap any one for its reason.

  1. DinaHealth and longevityAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The count from the bride's star to the groom's; some counts are avoided.

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Ardra (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This goes with good health and a long life together for husband and wife. (Why: the count from the bride's star to the groom's falls in the favourable range.)

  2. RajjuLongevity of the marriageAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The two stars must not fall in the same one of five groups; families look at this first.

    For this pair

    Pada (feet) (bride)Kanta (neck) (groom)

    This is the porutham most families weigh above all others, for the length of the marriage, and it agrees here. (Why: the two stars fall in different rajju groups, which is what it requires.)

  3. GanaTemperament and dispositionDoes not agree, set asidePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Rakshasa (fierce) (bride)Manushya (human) (groom)

    The tradition sees the two temperaments as pulling against each other in a marriage.

    The fault here is in Gana. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Budha (Mercury), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Ardra (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This porutham looks at children and the family's prosperity, and it does not agree here.

  5. Stree DeerghaThe wife's wellbeing and long lifeAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Ardra (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This goes with the bride's long life and wellbeing in the marriage. (Why: the groom's star lies well ahead of the bride's.)

  6. YoniPhysical compatibilityAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Dog (bride)Dog (groom)

    The strongest agreement here: a sign of natural physical understanding between husband and wife. (Why: both stars share the same animal symbol.)

  7. RasiFamily harmony and progenyAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Dhanus (Sagittarius) (bride)Mithuna (Gemini) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 7

    This holds for family harmony. (Why: the two Moon signs are the same sign, or directly opposite each other.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Guru (Jupiter) (bride)Budha (Mercury) (groom)

    This goes with mutual understanding in the marriage. (Why: on the porutham list, the lords of the two Moon signs are friends to each other.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Dhanus (Sagittarius) (bride)Mithuna (Gemini) (groom)

    This counts for mutual attraction, and it does not agree here. On its own it should not decide the marriage. (Why: in the vasya table neither Moon sign draws the other.)

  10. VedhaFreedom from affliction between husband and wifeAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Ardra (groom)

    The two stars do not obstruct each other, so this agrees for the marriage. (Why: the two stars are not one of the pairs that obstruct each other.)
