one answer

Of the eight kootas, 6 leave something on the table for this pair and 2 do not. Bhakoot is the largest at 0 of 7 — Pisces and Aquarius — 2/12. The complete ones are Varna and Nadi, which is 9 of the 36 guna earned before any deduction is applied.

Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Shatabhisha and Revati the padas change nothing. Sixteen combinations, one answer. The exact minute of birth still decides plenty in a chart — it just does not decide this.

Koota by Koota

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

Ashtakoot koota scores for Shatabhisha with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.

Total / 36	15.5–18.5	13.5–16.5	Below the conventional threshold

Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Aquarius — 2/12. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
Gana, 1 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Shatabhisha: Rakshasa. Directional: swap the partners and the same two ganas score differently.
Graha Maitri, 3 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Shatabhisha: Saturn. 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 Shatabhisha: Kshema (4) · from Revati: Vadha (7). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Shatabhisha: Horse. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Shatabhisha: Manav. 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 Shatabhisha’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Shatabhisha runs Aquarius 6°40′ – 20°00′ 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 26°40′ and 53°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Shatabhisha 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 Shatabhisha with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Shatabhisha as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Shatabhisha ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Aquarius	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5
Pada 2Aquarius	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5
Pada 3Aquarius	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5
Pada 4Aquarius	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5	15.5 / 13.5

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

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 — 8 of 8

Shatabhisha is Adi (Vata) and Revati is Antya (Kapha). 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 — 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. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Saturn and Jupiter, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.

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

The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Shatabhisha and Revati alone — so they can be given here and checked by hand.

Mahendra — present. Mahendra wants every third star from the fourth — 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 — and Shatabhisha to Revati is 4. 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: 4 from Shatabhisha and 25 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Revati as the bride and not with Shatabhisha.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Shatabhisha is Chara (movable), 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: 15.5 of 36 puts Revati 21st among Shatabhisha's 27 possible partners and Shatabhisha 22nd among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.

In Shatabhisha’s table

21st of 27

Revati scores 15.5 there outright. Shatabhisha’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 28 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Shatabhisha can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

22nd of 27

Shatabhisha scores 15.5 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

The whole of Ashtakoot for Shatabhisha and Revati 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 Shatabhisha page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Shatabhisha and Revati score?

15.5–18.5 of 36 with Shatabhisha as the bride and 13.5–16.5 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 Shatabhisha and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Shatabhisha with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (1 of 6), Graha Maitri (3 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), 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 Bhakoot — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Shatabhisha and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Shatabhisha 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 Shatabhisha and Revati have Bhakoot dosha?

Yes, in every pada combination: Pisces and Aquarius — 2/12 puts the signs at a forbidden distance, which costs all seven guna. Neither cancellation applies: the two sign lords are Saturn and Jupiter, which are neither the same planet nor mutual friends. Bhakoot is all or nothing: there is no partial score.

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

On the arithmetic, Shatabhisha on the bride's side scores higher — 15.5–18.5 against 13.5–16.5. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Shatabhisha as bride to 0 with Revati as bride and Gana goes from 1 with Shatabhisha 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.

Run It On the Real Padas

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