one answer
Hasta and Anuradha come to 25–28 of 36 with Hasta on the bride's side and 24–27 with Anuradha on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi score in full, while Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2) do not, and Graha Maitri on its own accounts for 4.5 of the guna that go missing.
All sixteen combinations give the same answer. Neither star crosses a boundary of any kind between its padas, so the totals below are the whole result and the birth times only need to be accurate enough to fix the nakshatra. This pair is one of the 120 of 351 where that is true.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Hasta with Anuradha. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Hasta bride | Anuradha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Anuradha: Brahmin · Hasta: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Anuradha: Keet · Hasta: Manav |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Hasta: Pratyari (5) · from Anuradha: Sadhaka (6) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Anuradha: Deer · Hasta: Buffalo |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | Anuradha: Mars · Hasta: Mercury |
| Gana / 6 | 6 | 6 | Anuradha: Deva · Hasta: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Scorpio and Virgo — 3/11 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta) · Hasta: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 25–28 | 24–27 | Good |
- Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Anuradha: Mars · Hasta: Mercury. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Hasta: Pratyari (5) · from Anuradha: Sadhaka (6). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Anuradha: Deer · Hasta: Buffalo. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Anuradha: Keet · Hasta: Manav. Neither the same group nor the agreed zero, so the graded middle where lineages differ.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Hasta’s table and Anuradha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Anuradha runs Scorpio 3°20′ – 16°40′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 40°00′ and 66°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Hasta as bride first, Anuradha as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Hasta ↓ / Anuradha → | Pada 1Scorpio | Pada 2Scorpio | Pada 3Scorpio | Pada 4Scorpio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Virgo | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 2Virgo | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 3Virgo | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 4Virgo | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
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
Fifteen of the 36 guna sit in these two, and both are all-or-nothing. Their cancellations are stated specifically enough to be checked for Hasta and Anuradha rather than guessed at.
Nadi Koota — 8 of 8
Hasta is Adi (Vata) and Anuradha is Madhya (Pitta). 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 Virgo — 3/11 — 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Hasta and Anuradha alone — so they can be given here and checked by hand.
- Mahendra — absent. Mahendra wants every third star from the fourth — 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 — and Hasta to Anuradha is 5. The two counts always add to 29, so a Mahendra pair holds whichever way round the match is made.
- Stri-Dirgha — satisfied one way. This one is directional in earnest: 5 from Hasta and 24 from Anuradha, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Anuradha as the bride and not with Hasta.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light), Anuradha 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: 25 of 36 puts Anuradha 7th among Hasta's 27 possible partners and Hasta 6th among Anuradha's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Hasta’s table
7th of 27
Anuradha scores 25 there, level with 1 other partner. Hasta’s 27 partners run from 9 to 28 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Hasta can reach — all 27 rows.
In Anuradha’s table
6th of 27
Hasta scores 25 there, level with 1 other partner. 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.
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 Hasta and Anuradha 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: the 36 guna taken one koota at a time and what the Navamsa adds that Guna Milan cannot. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Hasta page and the Anuradha page.
