28.5
one answer
Purva Ashadha and Revati come to 28.5–31.5 of 36 with Purva Ashadha on the bride's side and 27.5–30.5 with Revati on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot and Nadi score in full, while Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2) do not, and Tara on its own accounts for 1.5 of the guna that go missing.
A boundary is crossed and the result survives it: Purva Ashadha passes the mid-point of Sagittarius after pada 1, which moves it from the Manav vashya group into Chatushpada. Vashya reads differently either side of it, and yet every one of the sixteen combinations still lands on 28.5 of 36 on the conservative reading. 120 of the 351 pairs are untouched by the pada altogether; this one is one of 26 touched everywhere except in the total.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Purva Ashadha with Revati. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Purva Ashadha bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Purva Ashadha: Kshatriya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Purva Ashadha: Manav |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Purva Ashadha: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Revati: Elephant · Purva Ashadha: Monkey |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Jupiter · Purva Ashadha: Jupiter |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Deva · Purva Ashadha: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Pisces and Sagittarius — 4/10 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Purva Ashadha: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 28.5–31.5 | 27.5–30.5 | Good |
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Purva Ashadha: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Purva Ashadha: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Purva Ashadha: Monkey. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Purva Ashadha: 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 Purva Ashadha’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Purva Ashadha runs Sagittarius 13°20′ – 26°40′ 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 80°00′ and 106°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Purva Ashadha as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Purva Ashadha ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Sagittarius | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 |
| Pada 2Sagittarius | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 |
| Pada 3Sagittarius | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 |
| Pada 4Sagittarius | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 |
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
Purva Ashadha is Madhya (Pitta) 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 — 7 of 7 at pada 1
Pisces and Sagittarius — 4/10 — 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Purva Ashadha and Revati 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 Purva Ashadha to Revati is 8. 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: 8 from Purva Ashadha and 21 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Revati as the bride and not with Purva Ashadha.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Purva Ashadha 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
A total carries meaning against the alternatives rather than on its own, and the alternatives differ for the two stars: 28.5 of 36 puts Revati 4th among Purva Ashadha's 27 possible partners and Purva Ashadha 2nd among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Purva Ashadha’s table
4th of 27
Revati scores 28.5 there outright. Purva Ashadha’s 27 partners run from 9 to 31 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Purva Ashadha can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
2nd of 27
Purva Ashadha scores 28.5 there outright. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Revati 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 Purva Ashadha and Revati 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 Purva Ashadha page and the Revati page.
