Purva Phalguni and Chitra Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Purva Phalguni and Chitra, computed from the classical tables: 9.5–12.5 of 36 with Purva Phalguni as the groom's nakshatra, 9.5–12.5 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.)
Purva Phalguni groom · Chitra bride
9.5–12.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Leo groom · Virgo bride | 9.5 / 36 — Low — the kootas flag real challenges; weigh carefully. |
|---|---|
| Leo groom · Libra bride | 12.5 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
| Varna / 1 | 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 | 2 — physical and intimate compatibility |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0–4 — mental affinity and friendship |
| Gana / 6 | 0 — temperament — divine, human, or fiery |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0–7 — emotional bond, prosperity, and family wellbeing |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 — 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.
- 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 Rat and Tiger 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 Manushya–Rakshasa 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).
- 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 Purva Phalguni and Chitra compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 9.5–12.5 of 36 with Purva Phalguni as the groom's nakshatra and 9.5–12.5 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 Purva Phalguni and Chitra?
9.5–12.5 of 36 gunas one way and 9.5–12.5 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 Purva Phalguni and Chitra have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
Yes — both Moons share the Madhya nadi, so Nadi dosha applies. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
