Reading the eight kootas in order for Rohini and Uttara Phalguni: Graha Maitri is where the largest deduction falls — Uttara Phalguni: Sun · Rohini: Venus, so 0 of 5, with Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 5 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 26–29 one way round and 25–28 the other.
A swing of 2 guna separates the best and worst cells in the grid below — 24 at the bottom, 26 at the top. The cause is a boundary inside the four padas: Uttara Phalguni runs from Leo into Virgo 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
All eight kootas for Rohini and Uttara Phalguni, 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 Phalguni bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Uttara Phalguni: Kshatriya · Rohini: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar · Rohini: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Rohini: Ati-Mitra (9) · from Uttara Phalguni: Sampat (2) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Uttara Phalguni: Cow · Rohini: Serpent |

| Total / 36 | 26–29 | 25–28 | Good |
- Graha Maitri, 0 of 5 — Uttara Phalguni: Sun · Rohini: Venus. Mutual enemies on the largest of the temperament kootas.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Uttara Phalguni: Cow · Rohini: Serpent. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar · 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 Phalguni’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Rohini runs Taurus 10°00′ – 23°20′ and Uttara Phalguni runs Leo 26°40′ – Virgo 10°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 93°20′ and 120°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Rohini as bride first, Uttara Phalguni as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 24 at the lowest and 26 at the highest.
| Rohini ↓ / Uttara Phalguni → | Pada 1Leo | Pada 2Virgo | Pada 3Virgo | Pada 4Virgo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 26 / 25 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 26 / 25 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
| Pada 3Taurus | 26 / 25 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
| Pada 4Taurus | 26 / 25 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 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
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 Uttara Phalguni 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
In 12 of the sixteen pada combinations, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. The commonly cited cancellation covers each of those cells: Venus and Sun are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.
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 Phalguni is 9 and back is 20, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 9 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 — 9 with Rohini as bride, 20 with Uttara Phalguni — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Uttara Phalguni as the bride and not with Rohini.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Rohini is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Uttara Phalguni 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 26 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 6th place in Rohini's table, 5th in Uttara Phalguni's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Rohini’s table
6th of 27
Uttara Phalguni scores 26 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 Phalguni’s table
5th of 27
Rohini scores 26 there outright. Uttara Phalguni’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 33 with a median of 21, so this one sits above the middle of what Uttara Phalguni can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
What the breakdown says matters more than where the total lands. A high figure sitting on a zero in Nadi or Bhakoot is a different proposition from the same figure earned evenly across the eight, and 18 of 36 is a threshold families use rather than a rule any classical text states.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: how to check compatibility in a kundli and Venus, and what it decides about a marriage. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Rohini page and the Uttara Phalguni page.
