By the northern reckoning it is 17 of 36 — the two traditions differ here.

The ten, one by one — 5 of 10 agree in full, 1 more in part

Porutham	Signifies	Verdict	Weight	Why
Dina	Health and longevity	Does not agree	1	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.)
Gana	Temperament and disposition	Agrees	1	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.)
Mahendra	Progeny and prosperity	Does not agree	¾	This porutham looks at children and the family's prosperity, and it does not agree here.
Stree Deergha	The wife's wellbeing and long life	Agrees	1	This goes with the bride's long life and wellbeing in the marriage. (Why: the groom's star lies well ahead of the bride's.)
Yoni	Physical compatibility	Agrees in part	1	This counts in part for physical understanding between husband and wife. (Why: the two animal symbols are neither the same nor natural enemies.)
Rasi	Family harmony and progeny	Agrees	1	This holds for family harmony and children. (Why: the distance between the two Moon signs is a favourable one.)
Rasyadhipathi	Mutual understanding	Does not agree	¾	This shows up as differences in outlook between husband and wife. (Why: the lords of the two Moon signs are enemies of each other.)
Vasya	Mutual attraction	Does not agree	½	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.)
Rajju	Longevity of the marriage	Agrees	1¾	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.)
Vedha	Freedom from affliction between husband and wife	Agrees	1¼	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.)

Weighted total, for the astrologer: 6½ of 10.

The thirty-six gunas — 17 of 36

Koota	Points	Why
Varna — the order of the two signs	1 / 1	The groom's group is not below the bride's, the order wanted here.
Vashya — mutual influence	0 / 2	The two moon signs fall in unrelated groups, so this gives no points for mutual influence in the marriage.
Tara — wellbeing	1½ / 3	The count is favourable one way and not the other, so this scores in part for wellbeing in the marriage.
Yoni — physical compatibility	1 / 4	The two animal symbols are unfriendly to each other, so this scores low for physical compatibility in the marriage.
Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords	½ / 5	By natural friendship, one ruler is hostile to the other, so this scores low for friendship in the marriage.
Gana — disposition	6 / 6	Husband and wife share one temperament, which earns full marks here.
Bhakoot — the pairing of the moon signs	7 / 7	The distance between the two moon signs is not one counted against a marriage, so this earns full marks.
Nadi — constitution	0 / 8	Husband and wife share one constitution, which is what Nadi dosha means.

Nadi dosha — present, and none of the classical exceptions clear it.
