Not enough to go ahead

Dina does not match

3of 10agree in full

1 more in part

3 set aside

3 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 is about health and stamina in the marriage, and it does not agree here. (Why: the count between the two stars falls outside the favourable range.)

The North Indian way

19½of 36 gunas

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

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 19½ of 36, which clears its line. The northern count has no rule that decides on Dina 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 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

One planet rules both moon signs, which gives full marks for friendship between husband and wife.

Gana — disposition1 of 6 · partly

One temperament is deva and the other rakshasa: an opposed pair for 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 — constitution8 of 8 · full

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

  • Bhakoot dosha — present, and cancelled. One planet rules both moon signs, which clears this dosha for the marriage outright.
  • Every dosha raised here is cancelled by a documented classical exception, so none of them stands against this match.

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 agreePoints: 0

    What it looks at

    The count from the bride's star to the groom's; some counts are avoided.

    For this pair

    Shravana (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 3

    This porutham is about health and stamina in the marriage, and it does not agree here. (Why: the count between the two stars falls outside the favourable range.)

  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, Rasi, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: one graha, Shani (Saturn), rules both Moon signs.)

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

    For this pair

    Deva (divine) (bride)Rakshasa (fierce) (groom)

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

    The fault here is in Gana, Rasi, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: one graha, Shani (Saturn), rules both Moon signs.)

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Shravana (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 3

    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

    Shravana (bride)Shatabhisha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 3

    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

    Monkey (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 progenyDoes not agree, set asidePoints: 0

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Makara (Capricorn) (bride)Kumbha (Aquarius) (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.)

    The fault here is in Gana, Rasi, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: one graha, Shani (Saturn), rules both Moon signs.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Shani (Saturn) (bride)Shani (Saturn) (groom)

    Two minds that work the same way, which goes with mutual understanding in the marriage. (Why: both Moon signs have the same lord.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Makara (Capricorn) (bride)Kumbha (Aquarius) (groom)

    This goes with attraction between husband and wife. (Why: in the vasya table one Moon sign draws the other, and one way is enough for this porutham.)

  10. VedhaFreedom from affliction between husband and wifeAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Shravana (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.)
