Krittika and Ashlesha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Krittika and Ashlesha, computed from the classical tables: 18–21.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra, 19–22.5 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.)
Krittika groom · Ashlesha bride
18–21.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Aries groom · Cancer bride | 21.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Taurus groom · Cancer bride | 18 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Varna / 1 | 0 — 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 | 0.5–4 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 6 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 — health and progeny; the most weighted koota |
- The bride's varna outranks the groom's — worth exactly one point, the lightest koota of the eight.
- 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 Sheep and Cat 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).
- Both are Rakshasa gana — the same temperament family, the easiest gana pairing.
- The two Moon signs avoid the difficult axes — day-to-day emotional and material rhythms align.
- Nadi dosha — both Moons carry the Antya 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 Krittika and Ashlesha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 18–21.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra and 19–22.5 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 Krittika and Ashlesha?
18–21.5 of 36 gunas one way and 19–22.5 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 Krittika and Ashlesha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
Yes — both Moons share the Antya nadi, so Nadi dosha applies. No Bhakoot dosha in any pada combination.
