spread of 3.5
Hasta and Uttara Ashadha come to 25.5–28.5 of 36 with Hasta on the bride's side and 24.5–27.5 with Uttara Ashadha on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna, Tara, Bhakoot and Nadi score in full, while Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Gana (5 of 6), 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.
A swing of 3.5 guna separates the best and worst cells in the grid below — 22 at the bottom, 25.5 at the top. The cause is a boundary inside the four padas: Uttara Ashadha runs from Sagittarius into Capricorn after pada 1. Since Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot are all read from the Moon rashi rather than from the star, which puts 15 of the 36 guna on that boundary, which side of it the Moon fell on is not a detail.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Hasta with Uttara Ashadha. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Hasta bride | Uttara Ashadha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Uttara Ashadha: Kshatriya · Hasta: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Uttara Ashadha: Chatushpada · Hasta: Manav |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Hasta: Ati-Mitra (9) · from Uttara Ashadha: Sampat (2) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Ashadha: Mongoose · Hasta: Buffalo |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | Uttara Ashadha: Jupiter · Hasta: Mercury |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Uttara Ashadha: Manushya · Hasta: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Sagittarius and Virgo — 4/10 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha) · Hasta: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 25.5–28.5 | 24.5–27.5 | Good |
- Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Uttara Ashadha: Jupiter · Hasta: Mercury. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Uttara Ashadha: Manushya · Hasta: Deva. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Ashadha: Mongoose · Hasta: Buffalo. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Uttara Ashadha: Chatushpada · 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 Uttara Ashadha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Uttara Ashadha runs Sagittarius 26°40′ – Capricorn 10°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 93°20′ and 120°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Hasta as bride first, Uttara Ashadha as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 22 at the lowest and 25.5 at the highest.
| Hasta ↓ / Uttara Ashadha → | Pada 1Sagittarius | Pada 2Capricorn | Pada 3Capricorn | Pada 4Capricorn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Virgo | 25.5 / 24.5 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 |
| Pada 2Virgo | 25.5 / 24.5 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 |
| Pada 3Virgo | 25.5 / 24.5 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 |
| Pada 4Virgo | 25.5 / 24.5 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 |
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
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 — 8 of 8
Hasta is Adi (Vata) and Uttara Ashadha 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
In 12 of the sixteen pada combinations, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Mercury and Jupiter, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.
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 Uttara Ashadha 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 Uttara Ashadha is 9. 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: 9 from Hasta and 20 from Uttara Ashadha, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Uttara Ashadha 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), Uttara Ashadha is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed) — 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: 25.5 of 36 puts Uttara Ashadha 5th among Hasta's 27 possible partners and Hasta 7th among Uttara Ashadha's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Hasta’s table
5th of 27
Uttara Ashadha scores 25.5 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 Uttara Ashadha’s table
7th of 27
Hasta scores 25.5 there outright. Uttara Ashadha’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 31 with a median of 22, so this one sits above the middle of what Uttara Ashadha 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 Uttara Ashadha 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 Hasta page and the Uttara Ashadha page.
