The key point
The fault here is in Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)
The North Indian way
24of 36 gunas
Families look for 18; this is above it.
The eight kootas and the doshas
By the northern reckoning it is 24 of 36, and that tradition reads it the same way.
Varna — the order of the two signs1 of 1 · full
The groom's group is not below the bride's, the order wanted here.
Vashya — mutual influence0 of 2 · none
The two moon signs fall in unrelated groups, so this gives no points for mutual influence in the marriage.
Tara — wellbeing3 of 3 · full
The count between the two stars is favourable both ways, which earns full marks for wellbeing in the marriage.
Yoni — physical compatibility1 of 4 · partly
The two animal symbols are unfriendly to each other, so this scores low for physical compatibility in the marriage.
Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords5 of 5 · full
The rulers of the two moon signs are natural friends, which goes with friendship between husband and wife.
Gana — disposition6 of 6 · full
Husband and wife share one temperament, which earns full marks here.
Bhakoot — the pairing of the moon signs0 of 7 · none
The distance between the two moon signs is one counted against a marriage, so this scores nothing.
Nadi — constitution8 of 8 · full
Husband and wife have different constitutions, which is what this one looks for.
- Bhakoot dosha — present, and cancelled. On the porutham list, the two moon-sign rulers are friends, which clears this dosha for the marriage.
- Every dosha raised here is cancelled by a documented classical exception, so none of them stands against this match.
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.
DinaHealth and longevityDoes not agree, but does not decidePoints: 0
What it looks at
The count from the bride's star to the groom's; some counts are avoided.
For this pair
Mula (bride)Magha (groom)
Count from the bride's star: 19
This porutham is about health and stamina in the marriage. It does not agree here, but it does not decide the match. (Why: from the bride's star to the groom's the count is 19, and the texts differ on that count.)
The texts differ on this count, so it does not decide.
RajjuLongevity of the marriageDoes not agree, set asidePoints: 0
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)Pada (feet) (groom)
This porutham, for the length of the marriage, does not agree, in the mildest of its five forms. (Why: both stars fall in Pada rajju, the foot.)
The fault here is in Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)
