Reading the eight kootas in order for Pushya and Uttara Bhadrapada: Nadi is where the largest deduction falls — Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Pushya: Madhya (Pitta), so 0 of 8, with Bhakoot at 0 of 7, Gana at 5 of 6, Graha Maitri at 4 of 5 and Yoni at 1–3 of 4 behind it. The remaining 3 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 16–18 one way round and 16–18 the other.
The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Pushya 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
All eight kootas for Pushya and Uttara Bhadrapada, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: here neither one differs, so the two columns agree.
| Koota | Pushya bride | Uttara Bhadrapada bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Brahmin · Pushya: Brahmin |
| Vashya / 2 | 2 | 2 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Pushya: Jalachar |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Pushya: Janma (1) · from Uttara Bhadrapada: Janma (1) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Pushya: Sheep |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 4 | 4 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Pushya: Moon |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Pushya: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Cancer — 9/5 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Pushya: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 16–18 | 16–18 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Pushya: Madhya (Pitta). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Cancer — 9/5. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Pushya: Deva. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Graha Maitri, 4 of 5 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Pushya: Moon. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Pushya: Sheep. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Pushya’s table and Uttara Bhadrapada’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Pushya runs Cancer 3°20′ – 16°40′ 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 106°40′ and 133°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Pushya as bride first, Uttara Bhadrapada as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Pushya ↓ / Uttara Bhadrapada → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Cancer | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 |
| Pada 2Cancer | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 | 16 / 16 |

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 2 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
Pushya and Uttara Bhadrapada are both Madhya (Pitta), 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 Pushya with Uttara Bhadrapada 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. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Moon and Jupiter, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.
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: Pushya to Uttara Bhadrapada is 19 and back is 10, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — present. 19 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 — 19 with Pushya as bride, 10 with Uttara Bhadrapada — 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), 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
The same 16 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 21st place in Pushya's table, 21st in Uttara Bhadrapada's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Pushya’s table
21st of 27
Uttara Bhadrapada scores 16 there outright. Pushya’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 28.5 with a median of 19.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Pushya can reach — all 27 rows.
In Uttara Bhadrapada’s table
21st of 27
Pushya scores 16 there, level with 1 other partner. 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
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 Pushya page and the Uttara Bhadrapada page.
