one answer
Of the eight kootas, 4 leave something on the table for this pair and 4 do not. Bhakoot is the largest at 0 of 7 — Virgo and Taurus — 5/9. The complete ones are Varna, Tara, Graha Maitri and Nadi, which is 17 of the 36 guna earned before any deduction is applied.
Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Rohini and Hasta the padas change nothing. Sixteen combinations, one answer. The exact minute of birth still decides plenty in a chart — it just does not decide this.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Rohini with Hasta. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: here neither one differs, so the two columns agree.
| Koota | Rohini bride | Hasta bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Hasta: Vaishya · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Hasta: Manav · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Rohini: Janma (1) · from Hasta: Janma (1) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Hasta: Buffalo · Rohini: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Hasta: Mercury · Rohini: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Hasta: Deva · Rohini: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Virgo and Taurus — 5/9 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Hasta: Adi (Vata) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 23–26 | 23–26 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Virgo and Taurus — 5/9. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Hasta: Deva · Rohini: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Hasta: Buffalo · Rohini: Serpent. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Hasta: Manav · Rohini: Chatushpada. 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 Rohini’s table and Hasta’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ — 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: Rohini as bride first, Hasta as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Rohini ↓ / Hasta → | Pada 1Virgo | Pada 2Virgo | Pada 3Virgo | Pada 4Virgo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 | 23 / 23 |
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
Rohini is Antya (Kapha) and Hasta is Adi (Vata). 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: Venus and Mercury 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 Rohini and Hasta alone — so they can be given here and checked by hand.
- Mahendra — present. Mahendra wants every third star from the fourth — 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 — and Rohini to Hasta is 10. The two counts always add to 29, so a Mahendra pair holds whichever way round the match is made.
- Stri-Dirgha — satisfied both ways. This one is directional in earnest: 10 from Rohini and 19 from Hasta, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds either way round here.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light) — 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: 23 of 36 puts Hasta 11th among Rohini's 27 possible partners and Rohini 12th among Hasta's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Rohini’s table
11th of 27
Hasta scores 23 there outright. Rohini’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 35 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Rohini can reach — all 27 rows.
In Hasta’s table
12th of 27
Rohini scores 23 there, level with 1 other partner. Hasta’s 27 partners run from 9 to 28 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Hasta can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
The whole of Ashtakoot for Rohini and Hasta rests on two arcs of the zodiac 13°20′ wide. Everything a chart is usually read for — the seventh house and its lord, Venus and Mars, Mangal dosha, the dasha each partner is running — sits outside those two arcs and outside this total, which is why acceptable is a starting point for a conversation and not the end of one.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: the guide to all 27 birth stars and kundli matching for marriage, end to end. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Rohini page and the Hasta page.
