Not enough to go ahead

Rajju does not match

Both stars are in Kati rajju, the same group.

3of 10agree in full

2 more in part

5 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

12½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is below it.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 12½ 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 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 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 — 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 signs0 of 7 · none

The distance between the two moon signs is one counted against a marriage, so this scores nothing.

Nadi — constitution0 of 8 · none

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

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

    Pushya (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 4

    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 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)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 4

    This goes with children and the growth of the household.

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

    For this pair

    Pushya (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 4

    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

    Sheep (bride)Rat (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 progenyDoes not agreePoints: 0

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Karka (Cancer) (bride)Simha (Leo) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 2

    This does not hold for family harmony. (Why: counting from the bride's Moon sign, the groom's is the 2nd, 4th, 5th or 12th.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Chandra (Moon) (bride)Surya (Sun) (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)Simha (Leo) (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)Purva Phalguni (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.)
