The key point

The 3 that do not agree: Mahendra, Stree Deergha, Vasya.

The North Indian way

20½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is above it.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 20½ of 36, and that tradition reads it the same way.

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 compatibility2 of 4 · partly

The two animal symbols differ but are not enemies: a middle score for physical compatibility in the marriage.

Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords3 of 5 · partly

By natural friendship, the two rulers are neutral to each other: neither help nor hindrance to friendship in the marriage.

Gana — disposition6 of 6 · full

Husband and wife share one temperament, which earns full marks here.

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)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 6

    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 dispositionAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Rakshasa (fierce) (bride)Rakshasa (fierce) (groom)

    Husband and wife share one temperament: two people who will not have to work to understand each other. (Why: both stars are in the same gana, the temperament group.)

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 6

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

  5. Stree DeerghaThe wife's wellbeing and long lifeDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Mula (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 6

    This porutham looks at the bride's wellbeing in the marriage, and it does not agree here. (Why: counting from the bride's star, the groom's comes within the first seven; this porutham asks for more than thirteen.)

  6. YoniPhysical compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Dog (bride)Horse (groom)

    This counts in part for physical understanding between husband and wife. (Why: the two animal symbols are neither the same nor natural enemies.)

  7. RasiFamily harmony and progenyAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Dhanus (Sagittarius) (bride)Kumbha (Aquarius) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 3

    This holds for family harmony and children. (Why: the distance between the two Moon signs is a favourable one.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Guru (Jupiter) (bride)Shani (Saturn) (groom)

    This counts in part for mutual understanding in the marriage. (Why: one sign lord counts the other a friend, and the other does not.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Dhanus (Sagittarius) (bride)Kumbha (Aquarius) (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)Shatabhisha (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.)
