The key point

The fault here is in Rasi, Rajju, Vedha. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

The North Indian way

14½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is below it. The two traditions differ here.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 14½ of 36 — the two traditions differ here.

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 compatibility2 of 4 · partly

The two animal symbols differ but are not enemies: a middle 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 — disposition6 of 6 · full

Husband and wife share one temperament, which earns full marks here.

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 cancelled. On the porutham list, the two moon-sign rulers are friends, which clears this dosha for the marriage.
  • 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

    Uttara Bhadrapada (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 13

    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 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

    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.)

    The fault here is in Rasi, Rajju, Vedha. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  3. GanaTemperament and dispositionAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Manushya (human) (bride)Manushya (human) (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 prosperityAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Uttara Bhadrapada (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 13

    This goes with children and the growth of the household.

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

    For this pair

    Uttara Bhadrapada (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 13

    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

    Cow (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 agree, set asidePoints: 0

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Meena (Pisces) (bride)Simha (Leo) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 6

    This is the harder form, unsettled for family life. (Why: counting from the bride's Moon sign, the groom's is the 6th or the 8th.)

    The fault here is in Rasi, Rajju, Vedha. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Guru (Jupiter) (bride)Surya (Sun) (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

    Meena (Pisces) (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 wifeDoes not agree, set asidePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Uttara Bhadrapada (bride)Purva Phalguni (groom)

    The two stars obstruct each other, so this does not agree for the marriage. (Why: they are one of the pairs in the vedha list that afflict each other.)

    The fault here is in Rasi, Rajju, Vedha. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) and Surya (Sun), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)
