one answer

Rohini and Revati come to 16–19 of 36 with Rohini on the bride's side and 15–18 with Revati on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna and Bhakoot score in full, while Nadi (0 of 8), Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2) do not, and Nadi on its own accounts for 8 of the guna that go missing.

The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Rohini with Revati 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

Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Rohini with Revati. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Rohini with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.
Koota	Rohini bride	Revati bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Revati: Brahmin · Rohini: Vaishya
Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Revati: Jalachar · Rohini: Chatushpada
Tara / 3	1.5	1.5	Counting from Rohini: Sadhaka (6) · from Revati: Pratyari (5)

Nadi / 8	0	0	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha)
Total / 36	16–19	15–18	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha). The heaviest koota in the system, all or nothing.
Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Rohini: Sadhaka (6) · from Revati: Pratyari (5). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Rohini: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Rohini: Serpent. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · 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 Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ 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 40°00′ and 66°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Rohini as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Rohini with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Rohini as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Rohini ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Taurus	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15
Pada 2Taurus	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15
Pada 3Taurus	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15
Pada 4Taurus	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15	16 / 15

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 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

Rohini and Revati are both Antya (Kapha), 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 Rohini with Revati however well everything else goes.

Bhakoot Koota — 7 of 7 at pada 1

Pisces and Taurus — 11/3 — 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. Remedial practice for Nadi dosha is set out on the Nadi dosha page.

Two Tests Outside the 36

The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Rohini 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 Rohini to Revati is 24. 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: 24 from Rohini and 5 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Rohini as the bride and not with Revati.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), 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: 16 of 36 puts Revati 20th among Rohini's 27 possible partners and Rohini 21st among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.

In Rohini’s table

20th of 27

Revati scores 16 there outright. Rohini’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 35 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Rohini can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

21st of 27

Rohini scores 16 there outright. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below 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 Rohini 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 Rohini page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Rohini and Revati score?

16–19 of 36 with Rohini as the bride and 15–18 with Revati as the bride, taking pada 1 on both sides. The padas do not change it — all sixteen combinations give the same answer, which makes this one of the 146 pairs of 351 where the two birth stars settle the score outright. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.

Are Rohini and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Rohini with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). Read that as a filter result, not as a recommendation. A koota scoring zero — here Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Rohini and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Rohini and Revati. Neither star crosses a boundary between its padas, so all four sit in one rashi and one half of it, and no koota can move. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way.

Do Rohini and Revati have Nadi dosha?

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Antya (Kapha), and a shared nadi scores 0 of 8 — the largest single deduction in Ashtakoot. The three recognised cancellations — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — do not apply to Rohini with Revati, so the eight guna are genuinely lost. That leaves a ceiling of 28 for this pair however well the other seven go. Across every possible pairing, 33.3% carry Nadi dosha and 23.2% of those are cancelled.

Is it better for Rohini to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Rohini on the bride's side scores higher — 16–19 against 15–18. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Rohini as bride to 0 with Revati 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.

The score is settled for Rohini and Revati, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
