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 Uttara Bhadrapada that leaves 4 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — and 4 carrying a deduction: Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). The heaviest of them is Graha Maitri, where Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus gives 0.5 of 5.
All sixteen combinations give the same answer. Neither star crosses a boundary of any kind between its padas, so the totals below are the whole result and the birth times only need to be accurate enough to fix the nakshatra. This pair is one of the 120 of 351 where that is true.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Rohini and Uttara Bhadrapada, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Rohini bride | Uttara Bhadrapada bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Brahmin · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Rohini: Pratyari (5) · from Uttara Bhadrapada: Sadhaka (6) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Rohini: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 6 | 6 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Manushya · Rohini: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Pisces and Taurus — 11/3 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Uttara Bhadrapada: Madhya (Pitta) · Rohini: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 25–28 | 24–27 | Good |
- Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jupiter · Rohini: Venus. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Rohini: Pratyari (5) · from Uttara Bhadrapada: Sadhaka (6). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow · Rohini: Serpent. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Uttara Bhadrapada: Jalachar · 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 Uttara Bhadrapada’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Uttara Bhadrapada runs Pisces 3°20′ – 16°40′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 53°20′ and 80°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Rohini as bride first, Uttara Bhadrapada as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Rohini ↓ / Uttara Bhadrapada → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
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
Fifteen of the 36 guna sit in these two, and both are all-or-nothing. Their cancellations are stated specifically enough to be checked for Rohini and Uttara Bhadrapada rather than guessed at.
Nadi Koota — 8 of 8
Rohini is Antya (Kapha) and Uttara Bhadrapada is Madhya (Pitta). 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
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. 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 Uttara Bhadrapada is 23 and back is 6, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 23 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 one way. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 23 with Rohini as bride, 6 with Uttara Bhadrapada — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Rohini as the bride and not with Uttara Bhadrapada.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Uttara Bhadrapada is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 25 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 7th place in Rohini's table, 8th in Uttara Bhadrapada's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Rohini’s table
7th of 27
Uttara Bhadrapada scores 25 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 Uttara Bhadrapada’s table
8th of 27
Rohini scores 25 there, level with 1 other partner. Uttara Bhadrapada’s 27 partners run from 13 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Uttara Bhadrapada 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 good 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 Uttara Bhadrapada page.
