Mrigashira and Purva Phalguni Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Mrigashira and Purva Phalguni, computed from the classical tables: 15.5–20.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra, 17.5–22.5 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.)
Mrigashira groom · Purva Phalguni bride
15.5–20.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Taurus groom · Leo bride | 15.5 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
|---|---|
| Gemini groom · Leo bride | 20.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| 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 | 5 — 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.
- 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).
- Deva groom with Manushya bride sit close in temperament — small adjustments only.
- The two Moon signs avoid the difficult axes — day-to-day emotional and material rhythms align.
- Nadi dosha — both Moons carry the Madhya 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 Mrigashira and Purva Phalguni compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 15.5–20.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra and 17.5–22.5 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 Mrigashira and Purva Phalguni?
15.5–20.5 of 36 gunas one way and 17.5–22.5 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 Mrigashira and Purva Phalguni have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
Yes — both Moons share the Madhya nadi, so Nadi dosha applies. No Bhakoot dosha in any pada combination.
