Ardra and Revati nakshatra matching

24–27 of 36 with Ardra as bride, 23–26 with Revati as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

Across all padas

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 Ardra with Revati that leaves 3 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Bhakoot and Nadi — and 5 carrying a deduction: Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). The heaviest of them is Graha Maitri, where Revati: Jupiter · Ardra: Mercury gives 0.5 of 5.

Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Ardra and Revati 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 Ardra and Revati, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Varna differs between them.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Ardra with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.
Koota	Ardra bride	Revati bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Revati: Brahmin · Ardra: Shudra
Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Revati: Jalachar · Ardra: Manav
Tara / 3	1.5	1.5	Counting from Ardra: Kshema (4) · from Revati: Vadha (7)
Yoni / 4	1–3	1–3	Revati: Elephant · Ardra: Dog
Graha Maitri / 5	0.5	0.5	Revati: Jupiter · Ardra: Mercury
Gana / 6	5	5	Revati: Deva · Ardra: Manushya
Bhakoot / 7	7	7	Pisces and Gemini — 10/4
Nadi / 8	8	8	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Ardra: Adi (Vata)
Total / 36	24–27	23–26	Acceptable

Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Ardra: Mercury. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Ardra: Kshema (4) · from Revati: Vadha (7). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Ardra: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Ardra: Dog. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Ardra: Manav. 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 Ardra’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Ardra runs Gemini 6°40′ – 20°00′ and Revati runs Pisces 16°40′ – 30°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 66°40′ and 93°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Ardra as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Ardra with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Ardra as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Ardra ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Gemini	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 2Gemini	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 3Gemini	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 4Gemini	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. 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

Ardra is Adi (Vata) and Revati is Antya (Kapha). 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

Pisces and Gemini — 10/4 — 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: Ardra to Revati is 22 and back is 7, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — present. 22 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 — 22 with Ardra as bride, 7 with Revati — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Ardra as the bride and not with Revati.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Ardra is Tikshna (sharp), Revati is Mridu (tender) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.

How the Pair Ranks on Each Side

The same 24 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 10th place in Ardra's table, 10th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Ardra’s table

10th of 27

Revati scores 24 there, level with 1 other partner. Ardra’s 27 partners run from 5 to 29 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Ardra can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

10th of 27

Ardra scores 24 there, level with 2 other partners. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Revati 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 Ardra 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 acceptable and the band above.

Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: what the Navamsa adds that Guna Milan cannot and what a birth date alone can and cannot settle. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Ardra page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Ardra and Revati score?

24–27 of 36 with Ardra as the bride and 23–26 with Revati as the bride, taking pada 1 on both sides. The padas do not change it — all sixteen combinations give the same answer, which makes this one of the 146 pairs of 351 where the two birth stars settle the score outright. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.

Are Ardra and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Ardra with Revati at acceptable. The guna are lost on Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. No koota scores zero for this pair, which is worth more than the total itself.

Does the pada change the result for Ardra and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Ardra and Revati. Neither star crosses a boundary between its padas, so all four sit in one rashi and one half of it, and no koota can move. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way.

Do Ardra and Revati have Bhakoot dosha?

No. The two Moon signs never fall at one of the three forbidden distances — 6/8 Shadashtaka, 5/9 Navapanchaka or 2/12 Dwirdwadasha — in any of the sixteen pada combinations, so Bhakoot scores its full seven throughout. Bhakoot is all or nothing: there is no partial score.

Is it better for Ardra to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Ardra on the bride's side scores higher — 24–27 against 23–26. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Ardra as bride to 0 with Revati as bride. 314 of the 351 pairs move like this, so a calculator that takes two stars without asking who is the bride has picked a direction for you.

Run It On the Real Padas

The score is settled for Ardra and Revati, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
