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 Uttara Bhadrapada that leaves 3 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Tara and Graha Maitri — and 5 carrying a deduction: Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). The heaviest of them is Nadi, where Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta) gives 0 of 8.
The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Anuradha with Uttara Bhadrapada is one of them: every one of the sixteen cells in the grid below repeats the same total, so knowing the two birth stars is knowing the score.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: here neither one differs, so the two columns agree.
| Koota | Anuradha bride | Uttara Bhadrapada bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Brahmin · Anuradha: Brahmin |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Anuradha: Keet |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Anuradha: Janma (1) · from Uttara Bhadrapada: Janma (1) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Anuradha: Deer |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Anuradha: Mars |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Anuradha: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 15–18 | 15–18 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Anuradha: Deva. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Anuradha: Deer. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Anuradha: Keet. The middle of this koota: tables put a pair like this anywhere between half a guna and one.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Anuradha’s table and Uttara Bhadrapada’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Anuradha runs Scorpio 3°20′ – 16°40′ and Uttara Bhadrapada runs Pisces 3°20′ – 16°40′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 106°40′ and 133°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Anuradha as bride first, Uttara Bhadrapada as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Anuradha ↓ / Uttara Bhadrapada → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Scorpio | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 2Scorpio | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 3Scorpio | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 4Scorpio | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. None of the sixteen clears the conventional threshold of 18 on this reading. 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
Nadi and Bhakoot between them decide the shape of a result more than the total does — and both come with classical relief clauses that two named birth stars are enough to test.
Nadi Koota — 0 of 8
Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada are both Madhya (Pitta), so the plain rule gives nothing. None of the three recognised cancellations reaches this pair — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — so the eight guna are lost and 28 is the ceiling for Anuradha with Uttara Bhadrapada however well everything else goes.
Bhakoot Koota — 0 of 7 at pada 1
In every pada combination, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. The commonly cited cancellation covers all of them: Mars and Jupiter are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.
A cancellation is relief, not a score adjustment — the koota still reads zero above. Remedial practice for Nadi dosha is set out on the Nadi dosha page.
Two Tests Outside the 36
Two tests the eight kootas leave out, both settled by the distance between the two stars: Anuradha to Uttara Bhadrapada is 10 and back is 19, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — present. 10 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 both ways. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 10 with Anuradha as bride, 19 with Uttara Bhadrapada — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds either way round here.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Anuradha is Mridu (tender), Uttara Bhadrapada is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 15 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 22nd place in Anuradha's table, 24th in Uttara Bhadrapada's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Anuradha’s table
22nd of 27
Uttara Bhadrapada scores 15 there, level with 1 other partner. Anuradha’s 27 partners run from 12 to 31 with a median of 20, so this one sits below the middle of what Anuradha can reach — all 27 rows.
In Uttara Bhadrapada’s table
24th of 27
Anuradha scores 15 there outright. Uttara Bhadrapada’s 27 partners run from 13 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Uttara Bhadrapada 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 below the conventional threshold 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 Uttara Bhadrapada page.
