Calculate 36-point Ashtakoota Guna Milan (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi) from Bride and Groom Janma Nakshatras with classical Nadi/Bhakoot Dosha Parihara rules.
| Koota Name | Max Points | Life Domain Governed | Classical Cancellation (Parihara) Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Varna (वर्ण) | 1 Point | Work Ethic & Spiritual Temperament | Cancelled if Rashi lords are friendly |
| 2. Vashya (वश्य) | 2 Points | Mutual Attraction & Support | Cancelled if Graha Maitri scores 5/5 |
| 3. Tara (तारा) | 3 Points | Health, Longevity & Fortune | Even Pada difference mitigates Vipat/Pratyari Tara |
| 4. Yoni (योनि) | 4 Points | Intimacy & Biological Compatibility | Avoid only sworn-enemy Yonis |
| 5. Graha Maitri (ग्रह मैत्री) | 5 Points | Mental Friendship & Rashi Lord Harmony | Cancels Bhakoot & Gana blemishes when strong |
| 6. Gana (गण) | 6 Points | Lifestyle Nature (Deva, Manushya, Rakshasa) | Cancelled if Rashi Maitri is present |
| 7. Bhakoot (भकूट) | 7 Points | Family Prosperity & Financial Growth (6/8, 2/12, 5/9) | Cancelled if both signs share the same Lord (e.g., Aries-Scorpio, Taurus-Libra) |
| 8. Nadi (नाड़ी) | 8 Points | Pranic Vata/Pitta/Kapha & Progeny | Cancelled if same Rashi but different Nakshatra, or same Nakshatra in different Rashi/Pada |
No. Classical texts (*Muhurta Chintamani*) specify clear Nadi Dosha cancellations—such as when both partners share the same Rashi but have different Nakshatras, or share the same Nakshatra in different Padas—and require checking the D9 Navamsa chart.
