Not enough to go ahead

Dina does not match

2of 10agree in full

3 set aside

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 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

16½of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is below it.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 16½ 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 influence2 of 2 · full

Both moon signs fall in the same group, which goes with mutual influence between husband and wife.

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 compatibility0 of 4 · none

The two animal symbols are sworn enemies, so this scores nothing 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 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. On the porutham list, the two moon-sign rulers are friends, which clears this dosha for the marriage.
  • 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

    Uttara Phalguni (bride)Vishakha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 5

    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

    Nabhi (navel) (bride)Nabhi (navel) (groom)

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

    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: Budha (Mercury) and Shukra (Venus), 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, Rasi, Rajju. For this marriage an exception sets it aside, and your astrologer decides whether to accept it. (Why: Budha (Mercury) and Shukra (Venus), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Uttara Phalguni (bride)Vishakha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 5

    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

    Uttara Phalguni (bride)Vishakha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 5

    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 compatibilityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Cow (bride)Tiger (groom)

    This porutham looks at physical understanding between husband and wife, and it does not agree here. (Why: the two stars carry animal symbols that are 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

    Kanya (Virgo) (bride)Tula (Libra) (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: Budha (Mercury) and Shukra (Venus), the lords of the two Moon signs, are friends on the porutham list.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Budha (Mercury) (bride)Shukra (Venus) (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

    Kanya (Virgo) (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

    Uttara Phalguni (bride)Vishakha (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.)
