Mrigashira and Magha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Mrigashira and Magha, computed from the classical tables: 19.5–24.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra, 20.5–25.5 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.)
Mrigashira groom · Magha bride
19.5–24.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Taurus groom · Leo bride | 19.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Gemini groom · Leo bride | 24.5 / 36 — Very good — a well-matched pairing by the kootas. |
| Varna / 1 | 0 — spiritual compatibility and shared values |
|---|---|
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 — 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 | 0–4 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 1 — 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 bride's varna outranks the groom's — worth exactly one point, the lightest koota of the eight.
- 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 Serpent and Rat 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 Deva–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 Antya) — 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 Mrigashira and Magha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 19.5–24.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra and 20.5–25.5 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 Mrigashira and Magha?
19.5–24.5 of 36 gunas one way and 20.5–25.5 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 Mrigashira and Magha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. No Bhakoot dosha in any pada combination.
