Pushya and Shravana nakshatra matching

23–24 of 36 with Pushya as bride, 24–25 with Shravana as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

spread of 2

Reading the eight kootas in order for Pushya and Shravana: Graha Maitri is where the largest deduction falls — Shravana: Saturn · Pushya: Moon, so 0.5 of 5, with Yoni at 0 of 4, Tara at 1.5 of 3, Vashya at 0–1 of 2 and Varna at 0 of 1 behind it. The remaining 3 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 23–24 one way round and 24–25 the other.

The pada decides part of this one. Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar, and Vashya is read from the half of the sign the Moon falls in, so two guna turn on that mid-point. Across the sixteen combinations the total moves between 24 and 26, a swing of 2 guna against a median of 2 for all 351 pairs.

Koota by Koota

All eight kootas for Pushya and Shravana, 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 Pushya with Shravana at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.

Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Shravana: Saturn · Pushya: Moon. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
Yoni, 0 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Pushya: Sheep. One of the seven hostile pairs, and the largest deduction a single koota can produce.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Pushya: Sadhaka (6) · from Shravana: Pratyari (5). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Shravana: Chatushpada · Pushya: Jalachar. The middle of this koota: tables put a pair like this anywhere between half a guna and one.
Varna, 0 of 1 — Shravana: Vaishya · Pushya: Brahmin. A deliberately one-way test on rank, failed in this direction. It is one point of thirty-six.

Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Pushya’s table and Shravana’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Pushya runs Cancer 3°20′ – 16°40′ and Shravana runs Capricorn 10°00′ – 23°20′ — 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: Pushya as bride first, Shravana as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 23 at the lowest and 26 at the highest.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Pushya with Shravana across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Pushya as bride then Shravana 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 between 0 and 1 guna, depending on the 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 Pushya and Shravana rather than guessed at.

Nadi Koota — 8 of 8

Pushya is Madhya (Pitta) and Shravana 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

Capricorn and Cancer — 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: Pushya to Shravana is 15 and back is 14, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 15 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 — 15 with Pushya as bride, 14 with Shravana — 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 — Pushya is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light), Shravana is Chara (movable) — 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: 8th place in Pushya's table, 8th in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Pushya’s table

8th of 27

Shravana scores 24 there, level with 1 other partner. Pushya’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 28.5 with a median of 19.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Pushya can reach — all 27 rows.

In Shravana’s table

8th of 27

Pushya scores 24 there outright. Shravana’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 28 with a median of 20.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Shravana 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 Pushya page and the Shravana page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Pushya and Shravana score?

23–24 of 36 with Pushya as the bride and 24–25 with Shravana as the bride, taking pada 1 on both sides. The real padas move it: across all sixteen combinations the total runs from 24 to 26, and the grid on this page gives every cell. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds between 0 and 1 guna, depending on the cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.

Are Pushya and Shravana compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Pushya with Shravana at acceptable. The guna are lost on Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Yoni (0 of 4), Tara (1.5 of 3), Vashya (0–1 of 2) and Varna (0 of 1). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. A koota scoring zero — here Varna and Yoni — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Pushya and Shravana?

Yes. Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar, and Vashya is read from which half of the sign the Moon occupies, so two guna move with that mid-point. The total ranges from 24 to 26 across the sixteen combinations — a swing of 2 guna, against a median of 2 and a maximum of 14 over all 351 pairs. Only the birth times settle which cell applies.

Do Pushya and Shravana 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 Pushya to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Shravana on the bride's side scores higher — 24–25 against 23–24. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 0 with Pushya as bride to 1 with Shravana 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 grid above narrows Pushya and Shravana to sixteen answers between 24 and 26. Two birth times pick one of them.
