one answer
Four of the eight kootas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — are settled by the two birth stars alone, before anyone asks about a pada; the other four are read from the Moon rashi, which a pada can move. For Anuradha with Jyeshtha that leaves 7 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot and Nadi — and 1 carrying a deduction: Gana (0 of 6). The heaviest of them is Gana, where Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Anuradha: Deva gives 0 of 6.
Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Anuradha and Jyeshtha the padas change nothing. Sixteen combinations, one answer. The exact minute of birth still decides plenty in a chart — it just does not decide this.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Anuradha and Jyeshtha, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Gana differs between them.
| Koota | Anuradha bride | Jyeshtha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Jyeshtha: Brahmin · Anuradha: Brahmin |
| Vashya / 2 | 2 | 2 | Jyeshtha: Keet · Anuradha: Keet |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Anuradha: Sampat (2) · from Jyeshtha: Ati-Mitra (9) |
| Yoni / 4 | 4 | 4 | Jyeshtha: Deer · Anuradha: Deer |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Jyeshtha: Mars · Anuradha: Mars |
| Gana / 6 | 0 | 1 | Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Anuradha: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Scorpio and Scorpio — 1/1 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) · Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 30 | 31 | Good |
- Gana, 0 of 6 — Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Anuradha: Deva. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Anuradha’s table and Jyeshtha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Anuradha runs Scorpio 3°20′ – 16°40′ and Jyeshtha runs Scorpio 16°40′ – 30°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 0°00′ and 26°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Anuradha as bride first, Jyeshtha as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Anuradha ↓ / Jyeshtha → | Pada 1Scorpio | Pada 2Scorpio | Pada 3Scorpio | Pada 4Scorpio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Scorpio | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 |
| Pada 2Scorpio | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 |
| Pada 3Scorpio | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 |
| Pada 4Scorpio | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 | 30 / 31 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. Yoni and Vashya are undisputed for these two stars, so every figure is exact rather than a low end. All sixteen combinations clear the conventional threshold of 18. Dimmed cells fall below it; the nakshatra finder returns the pada from a birth date, time and place.
The Two Doshas, and Whether They Are Cancelled
The two heavy kootas, checked with their cancellations. Neither gives a partial score, so each is worth 8 and 7 guna outright or nothing at all.
Nadi Koota — 8 of 8
Anuradha is Madhya (Pitta) and Jyeshtha is Adi (Vata). Different nadis take the full eight guna, and since Nadi alone is more than a fifth of the total, this pair starts from a position 108 of the 351 pairs never reach.
Bhakoot Koota — 7 of 7 at pada 1
Scorpio and Scorpio — 1/1 — outside the three forbidden distances of 6/8, 5/9 and 2/12, and it stays outside them in all sixteen pada combinations. Bhakoot is full at seven throughout.
A cancellation is relief, not a score adjustment — the koota still reads zero above. The doshas Ashtakoot does not test for are a separate question — Mangal dosha among them.
Two Tests Outside the 36
Two tests the eight kootas leave out, both settled by the distance between the two stars: Anuradha to Jyeshtha is 2 and back is 27, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 2 stars between them, against a favourable set of 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25. 108 of the 351 pairs land on one of those.
- Stri-Dirgha — satisfied one way. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 2 with Anuradha as bride, 27 with Jyeshtha — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Jyeshtha as the bride and not with Anuradha.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Anuradha is Mridu (tender), Jyeshtha is Tikshna (sharp) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 31 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 1st place in Anuradha's table, 1st in Jyeshtha's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Anuradha’s table
1st of 27
Jyeshtha scores 31 there outright. Anuradha’s 27 partners run from 12 to 31 with a median of 20, so this one sits above the middle of what Anuradha can reach — all 27 rows.
In Jyeshtha’s table
1st of 27
Anuradha scores 31 there, level with 1 other partner. Jyeshtha’s 27 partners run from 4 to 31 with a median of 19, so this one sits above the middle of what Jyeshtha can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
One number cannot carry a marriage. Ashtakoot reads a single point from each chart — the Moon — so two people born hours apart with the Moon in Anuradha score identically here whatever else their charts do. The seventh house and its lord, Venus, Mars and Mangal dosha, and the dasha each partner is running are all outside it, and any of them can matter more than the difference between good and the band above.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: the Kundli Milan guide written from these numbers and the guide to all 27 birth stars. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Anuradha page and the Jyeshtha page.
