Ashlesha and Purva Bhadrapada Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Ashlesha and Purva Bhadrapada, computed from the classical tables: 15–19.5 of 36 with Ashlesha as the groom's nakshatra, 13–18.5 of 36 the other way. Eighteen is the classical minimum for a workable match; the koota-by-koota breakdown below shows where the points come from. (Tradition frames the two directions as groom and bride — modern couples read them as either partner.)
Ashlesha groom · Purva Bhadrapada bride
15–19.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Cancer groom · Aquarius bride | 15 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
|---|---|
| Cancer groom · Pisces bride | 19.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Varna / 1 | 1 — spiritual compatibility and shared values |
|---|---|
| Vashya / 2 | 1–2 — mutual attraction and the balance of influence |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 — health, fortune, and the destiny of the union |
| Yoni / 4 | 2 — physical and intimate compatibility |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5–4 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 1 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 — health and progeny; the most weighted koota |
- The groom's Moon-sign varna is equal or senior to the bride's — the classical order holds.
- Depends on the pada — one of these nakshatras spans two rashis, so this koota shifts with the Moon's exact degree (see the table below).
- One direction lands on an inauspicious tara — classical texts read this as luck flowing unevenly between the two.
- The Cat and Lion yonis are neutral toward each other — a rapport that grows with familiarity.
- Depends on the pada — one of these nakshatras spans two rashis, so this koota shifts with the Moon's exact degree (see the table below).
- A Rakshasa–Manushya pairing is the classical temperament clash of the gana tables — real, but softened when the rest of the charts are strong.
- Bhakoot dosha: the Moon signs sit on the 6/8 (shadashtaka) axis — read as friction and health strain.
- Different nadis (Antya and Aadi) — the heaviest koota is fully satisfied.

These scores compare the two Moons — the classical first pass. A real match also needs Mangal dosha (Mars's house from each Lagna and Moon), the exact padas, the seventh houses, and the dasha timing — all of which need full birth details. The app computes the complete picture, free.

Common questions
Are Ashlesha and Purva Bhadrapada compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 15–19.5 of 36 with Ashlesha as the groom's nakshatra and 13–18.5 the other way (18 is the classical minimum, 24+ strong). The final word belongs to the full charts — including Mangal dosha, which nakshatra tables cannot see.
How many gunas match between Ashlesha and Purva Bhadrapada?
15–19.5 of 36 gunas one way and 13–18.5 the other. Where a range appears, the exact score depends on each Moon's pada, because four of the eight kootas follow the rashi rather than the nakshatra.
Do Ashlesha and Purva Bhadrapada have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies: the Moon signs sit on a difficult axis.
