Rohini and Shravana nakshatra matching
17–19 of 36 with Rohini as bride, 17–19 with Shravana as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

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 Shravana that leaves 4 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Vashya, Tara and Graha Maitri — and 4 carrying a deduction: Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (5 of 6) and Yoni (1–3 of 4). The heaviest of them is Nadi, where Shravana: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) gives 0 of 8.
Two birth stars are not enough for this pair. 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 — so the total follows, anywhere from 15 to 17 of 36 depending on the padas. At 2 guna the swing sits on the median of 2, in a range reaching 14 at its widest.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Rohini and Shravana, 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 | Rohini bride | Shravana bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 1 | Shravana: Vaishya · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 2 | 2 | Shravana: Chatushpada · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Rohini: Janma (1) · from Shravana: Janma (1) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Shravana: Monkey · Rohini: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Shravana: Saturn · Rohini: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Shravana: Deva · Rohini: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Capricorn and Taurus — 9/5 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Shravana: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 17–19 | 17–19 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Shravana: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Capricorn and Taurus — 9/5. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Shravana: Deva · Rohini: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Rohini: Serpent. 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 Rohini’s table and Shravana’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ 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 106°40′ and 133°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Rohini as bride first, Shravana as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 15 at the lowest and 17 at the highest.
| Rohini ↓ / Shravana → | Pada 1Capricorn | Pada 2Capricorn | Pada 3Capricorn | Pada 4Capricorn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 15 / 15 | 15 / 15 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds between 2 and 3 guna, depending on the 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
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 — 0 of 8
Rohini and Shravana 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 Shravana 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. The commonly cited cancellation covers all of them: Venus and Saturn are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.
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: Rohini to Shravana 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 Rohini as bride, 10 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 — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), 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 17 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 19th place in Rohini's table, 20th in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Rohini’s table
19th of 27
Shravana scores 17 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 Shravana’s table
20th of 27
Rohini scores 17 there outright. Shravana’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 28 with a median of 20.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Shravana 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 below the conventional threshold and the band above.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: what the Navamsa adds that Guna Milan cannot and what a birth date alone can and cannot settle. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Rohini page and the Shravana page.
