Rohini and Uttara Ashadha nakshatra matching
12.5 of 36 with Rohini as bride, 11.5 with Uttara Ashadha as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

Across all padas
12.5–17
spread of 4.5
Of the eight kootas, 4 leave something on the table for this pair and 4 do not. Nadi is the largest at 0 of 8 — Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha). The complete ones are Varna, Vashya, Tara and Gana, which is 12 of the 36 guna earned before any deduction is applied.
A swing of 4.5 guna separates the best and worst cells in the grid below — 12.5 at the bottom, 17 at the top. The cause is a boundary inside the four padas: Uttara Ashadha runs from Sagittarius into Capricorn after pada 1. Since Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot are all read from the Moon rashi rather than from the star, which puts 15 of the 36 guna on that boundary, which side of it the Moon fell on is not a detail.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Rohini with Uttara Ashadha. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Rohini bride | Uttara Ashadha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Uttara Ashadha: Kshatriya · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 2 | 2 | Uttara Ashadha: Chatushpada · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Rohini: Ati-Mitra (9) · from Uttara Ashadha: Sampat (2) |
| Yoni / 4 | 0 | 0 | Uttara Ashadha: Mongoose · Rohini: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | Uttara Ashadha: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 6 | 6 | Uttara Ashadha: Manushya · Rohini: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Sagittarius and Taurus — 8/6 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 12.5 | 11.5 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha). The heaviest koota in the system, all or nothing.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Sagittarius and Taurus — 8/6. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
- Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Uttara Ashadha: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
- Yoni, 0 of 4 — Uttara Ashadha: Mongoose · Rohini: Serpent. One of the seven hostile pairs, and the largest deduction a single koota can produce.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Rohini’s table and Uttara Ashadha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Uttara Ashadha runs Sagittarius 26°40′ – Capricorn 10°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 120°00′ and 146°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Rohini as bride first, Uttara Ashadha as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 11.5 at the lowest and 17 at the highest.
| Rohini ↓ / Uttara Ashadha → | Pada 1Sagittarius | Pada 2Capricorn | Pada 3Capricorn | Pada 4Capricorn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 12.5 / 11.5 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 12.5 / 11.5 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 12.5 / 11.5 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 12.5 / 11.5 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 | 17 / 17 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. No cell carries a tradition range here: Yoni and Vashya both land on agreed cases for Rohini with Uttara Ashadha. 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 Uttara Ashadha 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 Uttara Ashadha 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. 12 of those 16 cells carry the cancellation and the rest do not, so the pada decides not just the score but whether the relief clause is available.
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 Uttara Ashadha 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 Uttara Ashadha is 18. 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: 18 from Rohini and 11 from Uttara Ashadha, 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), Uttara Ashadha is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed) — 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: 12.5 of 36 puts Uttara Ashadha 24th among Rohini's 27 possible partners and Rohini 25th among Uttara Ashadha's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Rohini’s table
24th of 27
Uttara Ashadha scores 12.5 there, level with 1 other partner. 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 Uttara Ashadha’s table
25th of 27
Rohini scores 12.5 there outright. Uttara Ashadha’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 31 with a median of 22, so this one sits below the middle of what Uttara Ashadha can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
The whole of Ashtakoot for Rohini and Uttara Ashadha 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 below the conventional threshold 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 Uttara Ashadha page.
