The key point

The fault here is in Gana, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Shukra (Venus) and Shani (Saturn), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

The North Indian way

25½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is above it.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 25½ 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 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 lords5 of 5 · full

The rulers of the two moon signs are natural friends, which goes with friendship between husband and wife.

Gana — disposition0 of 6 · none

One temperament is manushya and the other rakshasa: an opposed pair for 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 — 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 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

    Rohini (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 21

    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 21, and the texts differ on that count.)

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

  2. 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

    Kanta (neck) (bride)Kanta (neck) (groom)

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

    The fault here is in Gana, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Shukra (Venus) and Shani (Saturn), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  3. GanaTemperament and dispositionDoes not agree, set asidePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Manushya (human) (bride)Rakshasa (fierce) (groom)

    The tradition sees the two temperaments as pulling against each other in a marriage.

    The fault here is in Gana, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Shukra (Venus) and Shani (Saturn), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

    For this pair

    Rohini (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 21

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

    For this pair

    Rohini (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 21

  6. YoniPhysical compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Serpent (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.)

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Vrishabha (Taurus) (bride)Kumbha (Aquarius) (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 understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Shukra (Venus) (bride)Shani (Saturn) (groom)

    This goes with mutual understanding in the marriage. (Why: on the porutham list, the lords of the two Moon signs are friends to each other.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Vrishabha (Taurus) (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

    Rohini (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.)
