Krittika and Mrigashira Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Krittika and Mrigashira, computed from the classical tables: 18.5–27.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra, 17.5–27.5 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 · Mrigashira bride
18.5–27.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Aries groom · Taurus bride | 18.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Aries groom · Gemini bride | 22 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Taurus groom · Taurus bride | 27.5 / 36 — Very good — a well-matched pairing by the kootas. |
| Taurus groom · Gemini 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 | 0.5–5 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 1 — 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 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 Sheep 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).
- A Rakshasa–Deva pairing is the classical temperament clash of the gana tables — real, but softened when the rest of the charts are strong.
- 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 Madhya) — 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 Mrigashira compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 18.5–27.5 of 36 with Krittika as the groom's nakshatra and 17.5–27.5 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 Mrigashira?
18.5–27.5 of 36 gunas one way and 17.5–27.5 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 Mrigashira have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
