Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta, computed from the classical tables: 13.5–20.5 of 36 with Uttara Phalguni as the groom's nakshatra, 13.5–20.5 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.)
Uttara Phalguni groom · Dhanishta bride
13.5–20.5 of 36 gunas, depending on each Moon's pada (one of these nakshatras spans two rashis):
| Leo groom · Capricorn bride | 13.5 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
|---|---|
| Leo groom · Aquarius bride | 20.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Virgo groom · Capricorn bride | 17.5 / 36 — Moderate — several frictions to navigate consciously. |
| Virgo groom · Aquarius bride | 18.5 / 36 — Good — a workable match; mind the lower-scoring areas. |
| Varna / 1 | 1 — spiritual compatibility and shared values |
|---|---|
| Vashya / 2 | 1–2 — 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 | 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.
- 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 Cow and Lion 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).
- Different nadis (Aadi and Madhya) — the heaviest koota is fully satisfied.

What this page can't see
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 Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta compatible for marriage?

How many gunas match between Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta?
13.5–20.5 of 36 gunas one way and 13.5–20.5 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.
