one answer

Reading the eight kootas in order for Hasta and Jyeshtha: Nadi is where the largest deduction falls — Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) · Hasta: Adi (Vata), so 0 of 8, with Gana at 0 of 6, Graha Maitri at 0.5 of 5, Tara at 1.5 of 3, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 2 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 11–14 one way round and 11–14 the other.

The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Hasta with Jyeshtha 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 Hasta and Jyeshtha, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Varna and Gana differ between them.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Hasta with Jyeshtha at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.
Koota	Hasta bride	Jyeshtha bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Jyeshtha: Brahmin · Hasta: Vaishya
Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Jyeshtha: Keet · Hasta: Manav
Tara / 3	1.5	1.5	Counting from Hasta: Sadhaka (6) · from Jyeshtha: Pratyari (5)
Yoni / 4	1–3	1–3	Jyeshtha: Deer · Hasta: Buffalo
Graha Maitri / 5	0.5	0.5	Jyeshtha: Mars · Hasta: Mercury
Gana / 6	0	1	Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Hasta: Deva
Bhakoot / 7	7	7	Scorpio and Virgo — 3/11
Nadi / 8	0	0	Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) · Hasta: Adi (Vata)
Total / 36	11–14	11–14	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) · Hasta: Adi (Vata). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
Gana, 0 of 6 — Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Hasta: Deva. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Jyeshtha: Mars · Hasta: Mercury. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Hasta: Sadhaka (6) · from Jyeshtha: Pratyari (5). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Jyeshtha: Deer · Hasta: Buffalo. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Jyeshtha: Keet · Hasta: 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 Hasta’s table and Jyeshtha’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ 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 53°20′ and 80°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Hasta as bride first, Jyeshtha as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Hasta with Jyeshtha across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Hasta as bride then Jyeshtha as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Hasta ↓ / Jyeshtha →	Pada 1Scorpio	Pada 2Scorpio	Pada 3Scorpio	Pada 4Scorpio
Pada 1Virgo	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11
Pada 2Virgo	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11
Pada 3Virgo	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11
Pada 4Virgo	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11	11 / 11

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

Hasta and Jyeshtha are both Adi (Vata), 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 Hasta with Jyeshtha however well everything else goes.

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. 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: Hasta to Jyeshtha is 6 and back is 23, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 6 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 — 6 with Hasta as bride, 23 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 Hasta.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light), 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 11 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 25th place in Hasta's table, 24th in Jyeshtha's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Hasta’s table

25th of 27

Jyeshtha scores 11 there outright. Hasta’s 27 partners run from 9 to 28 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Hasta can reach — all 27 rows.

In Jyeshtha’s table

24th of 27

Hasta scores 11 there outright. Jyeshtha’s 27 partners run from 4 to 31 with a median of 19, so this one sits below the middle of what Jyeshtha can reach — all 27 rows.

What This Total Is Not

What the breakdown says matters more than where the total lands. A high figure sitting on a zero in Nadi or Bhakoot is a different proposition from the same figure earned evenly across the eight, and 18 of 36 is a threshold families use rather than a rule any classical text states.

Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: how to check compatibility in a kundli and Venus, and what it decides about a marriage. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Hasta page and the Jyeshtha page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Hasta and Jyeshtha score?

11–14 of 36 with Hasta as the bride and 11–14 with Jyeshtha 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 Hasta and Jyeshtha compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Hasta with Jyeshtha at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), Gana (0 of 6), Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. A koota scoring zero — here Gana and Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Hasta and Jyeshtha?

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

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Adi (Vata), 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 Hasta with Jyeshtha, 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 Hasta to be the bride or the groom?

It makes no difference to the total here — 11–14 either way. Varna and Gana are the only directional kootas, and for Hasta with Jyeshtha both land on cases that read the same in either direction. Only 37 of the 351 pairs are symmetric, so this is the unusual one.
