Jyeshtha and Revati nakshatra matching

19–22 of 36 with Jyeshtha as bride, 18–21 with Revati as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

one answer

Reading the eight kootas in order for Jyeshtha and Revati: Bhakoot is where the largest deduction falls — Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9, so 0 of 7, with Gana at 1 of 6, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 4 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 19–22 one way round and 18–21 the other.

Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Jyeshtha 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

All eight kootas for Jyeshtha and Revati, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Gana differs between them.

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

  • Bhakoot, 0 of 7Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
  • Gana, 1 of 6Revati: Deva · Jyeshtha: Rakshasa. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
  • Yoni, 1–3 of 4Revati: Elephant · Jyeshtha: Deer. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
  • Vashya, 0–1 of 2Revati: Jalachar · Jyeshtha: Keet. 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 Jyeshtha’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Jyeshtha runs Scorpio 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: Jyeshtha 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 Jyeshtha with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Jyeshtha as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.

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

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 — 8 of 8

Jyeshtha is Adi (Vata) and Revati 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 — 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. The commonly cited cancellation covers all of them: Mars and Jupiter are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.

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: Jyeshtha to Revati is 10 and back is 19, counting inclusively.

  • Mahendra — present. 10 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 — 10 with Jyeshtha as bride, 19 with Revati — 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 — Jyeshtha 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

The same 19 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 13th place in Jyeshtha's table, 19th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Jyeshtha’s table

13th of 27

Revati scores 19 there, level with 1 other partner. Jyeshtha’s 27 partners run from 4 to 31 with a median of 19, so this one sits on the middle of what Jyeshtha can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

19th of 27

Jyeshtha scores 19 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

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 Jyeshtha page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Jyeshtha and Revati score?
19–22 of 36 with Jyeshtha as the bride and 18–21 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 3 guna to every cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.
Are Jyeshtha and Revati compatible?
On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Jyeshtha with Revati at acceptable. The guna are lost on Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (1 of 6), 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 Bhakoot — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.
Does the pada change the result for Jyeshtha and Revati?
No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Jyeshtha 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 Jyeshtha and Revati have Bhakoot dosha?
Yes, in every pada combination: Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9 puts the signs at a forbidden distance, which costs all seven guna. The commonly cited cancellation does apply — the two sign lords, Mars and Jupiter, are mutual friends — and 108 of the 252 affected pairs are cancelled this way. Bhakoot is all or nothing: there is no partial score.
Is it better for Jyeshtha to be the bride or the groom?
On the arithmetic, Jyeshtha on the bride's side scores higher — 19–22 against 18–21. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Gana goes from 1 with Jyeshtha 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.

Run It On the Real Padas

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