Pushya and Vishakha Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Pushya and Vishakha, computed from the classical tables: 20–23.5 of 36 with Pushya as the groom's nakshatra, 20–22.5 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.)
Pushya groom · Vishakha bride
20–23.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Cancer groom · Libra bride | 23.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
|---|---|
| Cancer groom · Scorpio bride | 20 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Varna / 1 | 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 | 1 — 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 |
- 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.
- Counting the stars in both directions lands on auspicious taras — fortune supports the pair both ways.
- The Sheep 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 Deva–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).
- 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 Pushya and Vishakha compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 20–23.5 of 36 with Pushya as the groom's nakshatra and 20–22.5 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 Pushya and Vishakha?
20–23.5 of 36 gunas one way and 20–22.5 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 Pushya and Vishakha have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
