Bharani and Shatabhisha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Bharani and Shatabhisha, computed from the classical tables: 21 of 36 with Bharani as the groom's nakshatra, 21 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 · Shatabhisha bride
21 of 36 gunas — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas.
| Varna / 1 | 1 — spiritual compatibility and shared values |
|---|---|
| Vashya / 2 | 1 — 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 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 0 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 — 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.
- The vashya groups are partly receptive — influence flows, but unevenly.
- One direction lands on an inauspicious tara — classical texts read this as luck flowing unevenly between the two.
- The Elephant and Horse yonis are neutral toward each other — a rapport that grows with familiarity.
- The Moon-sign lords are natural enemies — different mental wavelengths; agreement is a practice, not a default.
- A Manushya–Rakshasa pairing is the classical temperament clash of the gana tables — real, but softened when the rest of the charts are strong.
- The two Moon signs avoid the difficult axes — day-to-day emotional and material rhythms align.
- Different nadis (Madhya and Aadi) — the heaviest koota is fully satisfied.

What this page can't see
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 Shatabhisha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 21 of 36 with Bharani as the groom's nakshatra and 21 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 Shatabhisha?
21 of 36 gunas one way and 21 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 Shatabhisha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. No Bhakoot dosha in any pada combination.
