Krittika and Jyeshtha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Krittika and Jyeshtha, computed from the classical tables: 23.5–28.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra, 24.5–29.5 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 · Jyeshtha bride
23.5–28.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Aries groom · Scorpio bride | 23.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Taurus groom · Scorpio bride | 28.5 / 36 — Excellent — a very strong classical match. |
| 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 | 3–5 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 6 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0–7 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 — 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 Deer 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.
- 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).
- 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 Krittika and Jyeshtha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 23.5–28.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra and 24.5–29.5 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 Jyeshtha?
23.5–28.5 of 36 gunas one way and 24.5–29.5 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 Jyeshtha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
