Nakshatra Compatibility Table: All 729 Pairings, Scored

Nakshatra Compatibility Table: All 729 Pairings, Scored — a Vedic birth-chart (kundli) diagram motif on a parchment plate
Original dataset: every one of the 729 nakshatra pairings scored on Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi (21 points) from a verified canonical Ashtakoota engine.

What is Nakshatra compatibility?

Nakshatra compatibility measures how two birth stars relate across the classical Ashtakoota dimensions — temperament (Gana), instinct (Yoni), prosperity flow (Tara) and mutual regard (Maitri). Each of the 729 pairings below carries a score out of 36 computed by the same canonical engine that powers this site's free kundli-milan reports.

How to read this table

Find the bride's nakshatra in the left column and the groom's across the top; the cell shows the total Guna score. 18 is the classical minimum, 24+ is comfortable, 28+ is excellent — but a low score is a conversation with an astrologer, not a verdict, because Navamsa and dasha context can outweigh a raw number.

Quick answer: Across every possible nakshatra pairing (27 × 27 = 729), the four nakshatra-based kootas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi, worth 21 of the 36 gunas — average 12.5/21. Only 192 pairings (26%) reach the excellent band (17+), and one pairing alone is perfect: Mrigashira with Rohini (21/21). Every score below comes from the same canonical engine that powers our free kundli matching tool.

Methodology (why you can trust these numbers)

These scores are computed from classical North-Indian Ashtakoota tables implemented as a canonical engine and verified against the identical-charts oracle (a person matched with their own chart must score the full maximum — ours does, exactly). The four kootas shown are the ones defined purely by nakshatra, so they are exact for every pairing regardless of rashi: Tara (3), Yoni (4), Gana (6), Nadi (8). The remaining 15 gunas (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot) depend on the moon rashi and are computed per couple in a full match.

The 10 strongest pairings

  1. Mrigashira (boy) + Rohini (girl) — 21/21
  2. Anuradha (boy) + Punarvasu (girl) — 20/21
  3. Ashlesha (boy) + Jyeshtha (girl) — 20/21
  4. Ashwini (boy) + Purva Ashadha (girl) — 20/21
  5. Jyeshtha (boy) + Ashlesha (girl) — 20/21
  6. Punarvasu (boy) + Anuradha (girl) — 20/21
  7. Purva Ashadha (boy) + Uttara Ashadha (girl) — 20/21
  8. Pushya (boy) + Revati (girl) — 20/21
  9. Revati (boy) + Pushya (girl) — 20/21
  10. Rohini (boy) + Mrigashira (girl) — 20/21

The 10 weakest pairings

A weak four-koota score usually means Nadi (8) and Gana (6) both failed — which is precisely where classical cancellation rules matter most. None of these is a verdict by itself.

  1. Ardra (boy) + Jyeshtha (girl) — 1.5/21
  2. Bharani (boy) + Dhanishta (girl) — 1.5/21
  3. Chitra (boy) + Uttara Bhadrapada (girl) — 1.5/21
  4. Dhanishta (boy) + Bharani (girl) — 1.5/21
  5. Jyeshtha (boy) + Ardra (girl) — 1.5/21
  6. Shatabhisha (boy) + Hasta (girl) — 1.5/21
  7. Uttara Bhadrapada (boy) + Chitra (girl) — 1.5/21
  8. Ashlesha (boy) + Rohini (girl) — 2.5/21
  9. Bharani (boy) + Chitra (girl) — 2.5/21
  10. Chitra (boy) + Anuradha (girl) — 2.5/21
