Not enough to go ahead

Rajju does not match

Both stars are in Kati rajju, the same group.

4of 10agree in full

2 more in part

4 do not agree

The rasi lords do not set this fault aside. Before deciding, have both full charts read together.

The key point

This porutham, for the length of the marriage, does not agree. (Why: both stars fall in Kati rajju, the waist.)

The North Indian way

20½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is above it. The northern count has no rule that decides on Rajju alone, so the answer above stands.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 20½ of 36, which clears its line. The northern count has no rule that decides on Rajju alone, so the answer above stands.

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 influence0 of 2 · none

The two moon signs fall in unrelated groups, so this gives no points for mutual influence in 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 compatibility3 of 4 · partly

The two animal symbols are friendly to each other: a high score for physical compatibility in the marriage.

Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords4 of 5 · partly

By natural friendship, one ruler is friendly and the other is not, so this scores in part for friendship in the marriage.

Gana — disposition5 of 6 · partly

One temperament is deva and the other manushya, a pairing that works in 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 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

    Pushya (bride)Bharani (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 22

    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 22, and the texts differ on that count.)

    The texts differ on this count, so it does not decide.

  2. RajjuLongevity of the marriageDoes not agreePoints: 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

    Kati (waist) (bride)Kati (waist) (groom)

    This porutham, for the length of the marriage, does not agree. (Why: both stars fall in Kati rajju, the waist.)

  3. GanaTemperament and dispositionAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Deva (divine) (bride)Manushya (human) (groom)

    A Deva bride with a Manushya groom is accepted: not the ideal pairing, but no obstacle to the marriage.

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Pushya (bride)Bharani (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 22

    This goes with children and the growth of the household.

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

    For this pair

    Pushya (bride)Bharani (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 22

    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 compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Sheep (bride)Elephant (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

    Karka (Cancer) (bride)Mesha (Aries) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 10

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

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Chandra (Moon) (bride)Sevvai (Mars) (groom)

    This shows up as differences in outlook between husband and wife. (Why: the lords of the two Moon signs are enemies of each other.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Karka (Cancer) (bride)Mesha (Aries) (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

    Pushya (bride)Bharani (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.)
