Bharani and Mrigashira Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Bharani and Mrigashira, computed from the classical tables: 15.5–19 of 36 with Bharani as the groom's nakshatra, 13.5–17 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.)
Bharani groom · Mrigashira bride
15.5–19 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Aries groom · Taurus bride | 15.5 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
|---|---|
| Aries groom · Gemini bride | 19 / 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 | 0.5–3 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 6 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0–7 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 — 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 Elephant and Serpent 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).
- Manushya groom with Deva bride sit close in temperament — small adjustments only.
- 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).
- Nadi dosha — both Moons carry the Madhya nadi. Weighted heaviest of all eight as a health-and-progeny caution; tradition treats it as softened when the Moon signs differ, and answerable with remedies.

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 Bharani and Mrigashira compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 15.5–19 of 36 with Bharani as the groom's nakshatra and 13.5–17 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 Bharani and Mrigashira?
15.5–19 of 36 gunas one way and 13.5–17 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 Bharani and Mrigashira have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
Yes — both Moons share the Madhya nadi, so Nadi dosha applies. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
