one answer
Jyeshtha and Uttara Bhadrapada come to 21–24 of 36 with Jyeshtha on the bride's side and 18–21 with Uttara Bhadrapada on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna, Tara, Graha Maitri and Nadi score in full, while Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (3 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2) do not, and Bhakoot on its own accounts for 7 of the guna that go missing.
The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Jyeshtha with Uttara Bhadrapada 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
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Jyeshtha with Uttara Bhadrapada. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Gana differs between them.
| Koota | Jyeshtha bride | Uttara Bhadrapada bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Brahmin · Jyeshtha: Brahmin |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Jyeshtha: Keet |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Jyeshtha: Ati-Mitra (9) · from Uttara Bhadrapada: Sampat (2) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Jyeshtha: Deer |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Jyeshtha: Mars |
| Gana / 6 | 3 | 0 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Jyeshtha: Rakshasa |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 21–24 | 18–21 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Scorpio — 5/9. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
- Gana, 3 of 6 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Jyeshtha: Rakshasa. Directional: swap the partners and the same two ganas score differently.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Jyeshtha: Deer. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Jyeshtha: Keet. 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 Jyeshtha’s table and Uttara Bhadrapada’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Jyeshtha runs Scorpio 16°40′ – 30°00′ 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 93°20′ and 120°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Jyeshtha as bride first, Uttara Bhadrapada as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Jyeshtha ↓ / Uttara Bhadrapada → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Scorpio | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 |
| Pada 2Scorpio | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 |
| Pada 3Scorpio | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 |
| Pada 4Scorpio | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 | 21 / 18 |
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
Jyeshtha 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 — 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Jyeshtha and Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Jyeshtha to Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Jyeshtha and 20 from Uttara Bhadrapada, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Uttara Bhadrapada as the bride and not with Jyeshtha.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Jyeshtha is Tikshna (sharp), 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
A total carries meaning against the alternatives rather than on its own, and the alternatives differ for the two stars: 21 of 36 puts Uttara Bhadrapada 11th among Jyeshtha's 27 possible partners and Jyeshtha 15th among Uttara Bhadrapada's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Jyeshtha’s table
11th of 27
Uttara Bhadrapada scores 21 there outright. Jyeshtha’s 27 partners run from 4 to 31 with a median of 19, so this one sits above the middle of what Jyeshtha can reach — all 27 rows.
In Uttara Bhadrapada’s table
15th of 27
Jyeshtha scores 21 there outright. Uttara Bhadrapada’s 27 partners run from 13 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Jyeshtha and Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Jyeshtha page and the Uttara Bhadrapada page.
