one answer

Reading the eight kootas in order for Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada: Graha Maitri is where the largest deduction falls — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Hasta: Mercury, so 0.5 of 5, with Tara at 1.5 of 3, Gana at 5 of 6, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 3 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 24–27 one way round and 23–26 the other.

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

All eight kootas for Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada, 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 Hasta with Uttara Bhadrapada 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	Uttara Bhadrapada bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Uttara Bhadrapada: Brahmin · Hasta: Vaishya

Total / 36	24–27	23–26	Acceptable

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

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Uttara Bhadrapada runs Pisces 3°20′ – 16°40′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 160°00′ and 180°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Hasta as bride first, Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Uttara Bhadrapada across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Hasta as bride then Uttara Bhadrapada as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Hasta ↓ / Uttara Bhadrapada →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Virgo	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 2Virgo	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 3Virgo	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23	24 / 23
Pada 4Virgo	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

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 Uttara Bhadrapada rather than guessed at.

Nadi Koota — 8 of 8

Hasta is Adi (Vata) and Uttara Bhadrapada 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

Pisces and Virgo — 7/7 — 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: Hasta to Uttara Bhadrapada is 14 and back is 15, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 14 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 both ways. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 14 with Hasta as bride, 15 with Uttara Bhadrapada — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds either way round here.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light), Uttara Bhadrapada is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed) — 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: 9th place in Hasta's table, 10th in Uttara Bhadrapada's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Hasta’s table

9th of 27

Uttara Bhadrapada scores 24 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 Bhadrapada’s table

10th of 27

Hasta scores 24 there outright. Uttara Bhadrapada’s 27 partners run from 13 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Uttara Bhadrapada page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada score?

24–27 of 36 with Hasta as the bride and 23–26 with Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Uttara Bhadrapada compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Hasta with Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada. 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 Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Hasta to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Hasta 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 Hasta as bride to 0 with Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Hasta and Uttara Bhadrapada, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
