Punarvasu and Anuradha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Punarvasu and Anuradha, computed from the classical tables: 20.5–25 of 36 with Punarvasu as the groom's nakshatra, 21.5–25 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.)
Punarvasu groom · Anuradha bride
20.5–25 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Gemini groom · Scorpio bride | 20.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Cancer groom · Scorpio bride | 25 / 36 — Very good — a well-matched pairing by the kootas. |
| Varna / 1 | 0–1 — spiritual compatibility and shared values |
|---|---|
| Vashya / 2 | 1 — mutual attraction and the balance of influence |
| Tara / 3 | 3 — 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 | 0 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 — health and progeny; the most weighted koota |
- 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).
- The vashya groups are partly receptive — influence flows, but unevenly.
- Counting the stars in both directions lands on auspicious taras — fortune supports the pair both ways.
- The Cat 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 Deva gana — the same temperament family, the easiest gana pairing.
- Bhakoot dosha: the Moon signs sit on the 6/8 (shadashtaka) axis — read as friction and health strain.
- Different nadis (Aadi 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 Punarvasu and Anuradha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 20.5–25 of 36 with Punarvasu as the groom's nakshatra and 21.5–25 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 Punarvasu and Anuradha?
20.5–25 of 36 gunas one way and 21.5–25 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 Punarvasu and Anuradha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies: the Moon signs sit on a difficult axis.
