one answer

Reading the eight kootas in order for Magha and Revati: Nadi is where the largest deduction falls — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Magha: Antya (Kapha), so 0 of 8, with Bhakoot at 0 of 7, Gana at 1 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 11–14 one way round and 9–12 the other.

The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Magha with Revati 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 Magha and Revati, 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 Magha with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.

Nadi / 8	0	0	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Magha: Antya (Kapha)
Total / 36	11–14	9–12	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Magha: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Leo — 8/6. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
Gana, 1 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Magha: Rakshasa. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Magha: Rat. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Magha: Vanachar. 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 Magha’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Magha runs Leo 0°00′ – 13°20′ 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 120°00′ and 146°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Magha 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 Magha with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Magha as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Magha ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Leo	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9
Pada 2Leo	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9
Pada 3Leo	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9
Pada 4Leo	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9	11 / 9

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

Magha and Revati are both Antya (Kapha), 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 Magha with Revati however well everything else goes.

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: Sun and Jupiter are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.

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: Magha to Revati is 18 and back is 11, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 18 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 — 18 with Magha as bride, 11 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 — Magha is Ugra / Krura (fierce), 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 11 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 25th place in Magha's table, 24th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Magha’s table

25th of 27

Revati scores 11 there outright. Magha’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 33 with a median of 19.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Magha can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

24th of 27

Magha scores 11 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: kundli matching for marriage, end to end and the 36 guna taken one koota at a time. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Magha page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Magha and Revati score?

11–14 of 36 with Magha as the bride and 9–12 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 Magha and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Magha with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), 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 and Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Magha and Revati?

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

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Antya (Kapha), 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 Magha with Revati, 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 Magha to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Magha on the bride's side scores higher — 11–14 against 9–12. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Magha as bride to 0 with Revati as bride and Gana goes from 1 with Magha 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.

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