Ashlesha and Revati nakshatra matching

12–14 of 36 with Ashlesha as bride, 11–13 with Revati as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

Across all padas

one answer

Ashlesha and Revati come to 12–14 of 36 with Ashlesha on the bride's side and 11–13 with Revati on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna, Vashya and Tara score in full, while Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (1 of 6), Graha Maitri (4 of 5) and Yoni (1–3 of 4) do not, and Nadi on its own accounts for 8 of the guna that go missing.

Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Ashlesha 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

Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Ashlesha with Revati. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Gana differs between them.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Ashlesha with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.

Nadi / 8	0	0	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Ashlesha: Antya (Kapha)
Total / 36	12–14	11–13	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Ashlesha: Antya (Kapha). The heaviest koota in the system, all or nothing.
Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Cancer — 9/5. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
Gana, 1 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Ashlesha: Rakshasa. Directional: swap the partners and the same two ganas score differently.
Graha Maitri, 4 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Ashlesha: Moon. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Ashlesha: Cat. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.

Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Ashlesha’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Ashlesha runs Cancer 16°40′ – 30°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 106°40′ and 133°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Ashlesha 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 Ashlesha with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Ashlesha as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Ashlesha ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Cancer	12 / 11	12 / 11	12 / 11	12 / 11

Pada 4Cancer	12 / 11	12 / 11	12 / 11	12 / 11

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 2 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

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 — 0 of 8

Ashlesha and Revati are both Antya (Kapha), 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 Ashlesha with Revati 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. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Moon and Jupiter, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.

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

The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Ashlesha and Revati alone — so they can be given here and checked by hand.

Mahendra — present. Mahendra wants every third star from the fourth — 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 — and Ashlesha to Revati is 19. The two counts always add to 29, so a Mahendra pair holds whichever way round the match is made.
Stri-Dirgha — satisfied both ways. This one is directional in earnest: 19 from Ashlesha and 10 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds either way round here.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Ashlesha 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

A total carries meaning against the alternatives rather than on its own, and the alternatives differ for the two stars: 12 of 36 puts Revati 24th among Ashlesha's 27 possible partners and Ashlesha 23rd among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.

In Ashlesha’s table

24th of 27

Revati scores 12 there outright. Ashlesha’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 28 with a median of 18, so this one sits below the middle of what Ashlesha can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

23rd of 27

Ashlesha scores 12 there outright. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Revati can reach — all 27 rows.

What This Total Is Not

Across every pairing of two Moon positions that can exist, 63.6% clear 18 and the median total is 20.5, so clearing the conventional bar is the ordinary result rather than a distinction. The ceiling is 35, not 36 — no pairing of Ashlesha and Revati or of anything else reaches a perfect score, and a site reporting one has added something to the arithmetic.

Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: Venus, and what it decides about a marriage and the Kundli Milan guide written from these numbers. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Ashlesha page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Ashlesha and Revati score?

12–14 of 36 with Ashlesha as the bride and 11–13 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 2 guna to every cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.

Are Ashlesha and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Ashlesha with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (1 of 6), Graha Maitri (4 of 5) and Yoni (1–3 of 4). Read that as a filter result, not as a recommendation. A koota scoring zero — here Bhakoot and Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Ashlesha and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Ashlesha 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 Ashlesha and Revati have Nadi dosha?

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Antya (Kapha), and a shared nadi scores 0 of 8 — the largest single deduction in Ashtakoot. The three recognised cancellations — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — do not apply to Ashlesha with Revati, so the eight guna are genuinely lost. That leaves a ceiling of 28 for this pair however well the other seven go. Across every possible pairing, 33.3% carry Nadi dosha and 23.2% of those are cancelled.

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

On the arithmetic, Ashlesha on the bride's side scores higher — 12–14 against 11–13. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Gana goes from 1 with Ashlesha 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.

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