Not enough to go ahead

4of 10agree in full

2 more in part

4 do not agree

Before deciding, have both charts read in full.

The key point

At least five must agree in full.

The North Indian way

26of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is above it. The ten poruthams fall short of theirs, so the answer above stands.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 26 of 36, which clears its line. The ten poruthams fall short of theirs, 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 lords½ of 5 · partly

By natural friendship, one ruler is hostile to the other, so this scores low for 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 — constitution8 of 8 · full

Husband and wife have different constitutions, which is what this one looks for.

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)Swati (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 8

    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

    Kati (waist) (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

    Deva (divine) (bride)Deva (divine) (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

    Pushya (bride)Swati (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 8

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

  5. Stree DeerghaThe wife's wellbeing and long lifeAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Pushya (bride)Swati (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 8

    This counts in part for the bride's wellbeing in the marriage. (Why: the groom's star lies ahead of the bride's, though not by the full preferred count.)

  6. YoniPhysical compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Sheep (bride)Buffalo (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)Tula (Libra) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 4

    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)Shukra (Venus) (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)Tula (Libra) (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)Swati (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.)
