one answer
Four of the eight kootas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — are settled by the two birth stars alone, before anyone asks about a pada; the other four are read from the Moon rashi, which a pada can move. For Rohini with Jyeshtha that leaves 3 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Bhakoot and Nadi — and 5 carrying a deduction: Gana (0 of 6), Graha Maitri (3 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). The heaviest of them is Gana, where Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Rohini: Manushya gives 0 of 6.
The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Rohini with Jyeshtha 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 Rohini and Jyeshtha, 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.
| Koota | Rohini bride | Jyeshtha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Jyeshtha: Brahmin · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Jyeshtha: Keet · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Rohini: Sadhaka (6) · from Jyeshtha: Pratyari (5) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Jyeshtha: Deer · Rohini: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 3 | 3 | Jyeshtha: Mars · Rohini: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 0 | 3 | Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Rohini: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Scorpio and Taurus — 7/7 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Jyeshtha: Adi (Vata) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 21.5–24.5 | 23.5–26.5 | Acceptable |
- Gana, 0 of 6 — Jyeshtha: Rakshasa · Rohini: Manushya. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
- Graha Maitri, 3 of 5 — Jyeshtha: Mars · Rohini: Venus. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Rohini: Sadhaka (6) · from Jyeshtha: Pratyari (5). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Jyeshtha: Deer · Rohini: Serpent. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Jyeshtha: Keet · Rohini: Chatushpada. 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 Rohini’s table and Jyeshtha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Jyeshtha runs Scorpio 16°40′ – 30°00′ — 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: Rohini as bride first, Jyeshtha as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Rohini ↓ / Jyeshtha → | Pada 1Scorpio | Pada 2Scorpio | Pada 3Scorpio | Pada 4Scorpio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 | 21.5 / 23.5 |
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
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 — 8 of 8
Rohini is Antya (Kapha) and Jyeshtha 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 — 7 of 7 at pada 1
Scorpio and Taurus — 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: Rohini to Jyeshtha 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 Rohini as bride, 14 with Jyeshtha — 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 — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Jyeshtha is Tikshna (sharp) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 23.5 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 10th place in Rohini's table, 7th in Jyeshtha's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Rohini’s table
10th of 27
Jyeshtha scores 23.5 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 Jyeshtha’s table
7th of 27
Rohini scores 23.5 there outright. Jyeshtha’s 27 partners run from 4 to 31 with a median of 19, so this one sits above the middle of what Jyeshtha can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
One number cannot carry a marriage. Ashtakoot reads a single point from each chart — the Moon — so two people born hours apart with the Moon in Rohini score identically here whatever else their charts do. The seventh house and its lord, Venus, Mars and Mangal dosha, and the dasha each partner is running are all outside it, and any of them can matter more than the difference between acceptable and the band above.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: the Kundli Milan guide written from these numbers and the guide to all 27 birth stars. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Rohini page and the Jyeshtha page.
