Punarvasu and Purva Phalguni Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Punarvasu and Purva Phalguni, computed from the classical tables: 21.5–26.5 of 36 with Punarvasu as the groom's nakshatra, 21.5–28.5 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.)
Punarvasu groom · Purva Phalguni bride
21.5–26.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Gemini groom · Leo bride | 26.5 / 36 — Very good — a well-matched pairing by the kootas. |
|---|---|
| Cancer groom · Leo bride | 21.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Varna / 1 | 0–1 — 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 | 0 — physical and intimate compatibility |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 4–5 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 5 — 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 |
- 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.
- One direction lands on an inauspicious tara — classical texts read this as luck flowing unevenly between the two.
- The Cat and Rat yonis are classical enemies — the tables read this as instinctive friction that asks for patience.
- 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.
- 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).

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 Purva Phalguni compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 21.5–26.5 of 36 with Punarvasu as the groom's nakshatra and 21.5–28.5 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 Punarvasu and Purva Phalguni?
21.5–26.5 of 36 gunas one way and 21.5–28.5 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 Punarvasu and Purva Phalguni have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
