spread of 4.5
Of the eight kootas, 4 leave something on the table for this pair and 4 do not. Tara is the largest at 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Uttara Phalguni: Sadhaka (6) · from Anuradha: Pratyari (5). The complete ones are Varna, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot and Nadi, which is 21 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 — 24 at the bottom, 28.5 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
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Uttara Phalguni with Anuradha. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Uttara Phalguni bride | Anuradha bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Anuradha: Brahmin · Uttara Phalguni: Kshatriya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Anuradha: Keet · Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Uttara Phalguni: Sadhaka (6) · from Anuradha: Pratyari (5) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Anuradha: Deer · Uttara Phalguni: Cow |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Anuradha: Mars · Uttara Phalguni: Sun |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Anuradha: Deva · Uttara Phalguni: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Scorpio and Leo — 4/10 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Anuradha: Madhya (Pitta) · Uttara Phalguni: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 28.5–31.5 | 27.5–30.5 | Good |
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Uttara Phalguni: Sadhaka (6) · from Anuradha: Pratyari (5). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Anuradha: Deva · Uttara Phalguni: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Anuradha: Deer · Uttara Phalguni: Cow. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Anuradha: Keet · Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar. 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 Uttara Phalguni’s table and Anuradha’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Uttara Phalguni runs Leo 26°40′ – Virgo 10°00′ and Anuradha runs Scorpio 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: Uttara Phalguni as bride first, Anuradha as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 23 at the lowest and 28.5 at the highest.
| Uttara Phalguni ↓ / Anuradha → | Pada 1Scorpio | Pada 2Scorpio | Pada 3Scorpio | Pada 4Scorpio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Leo | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 | 28.5 / 27.5 |
| Pada 2Virgo | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 |
| Pada 3Virgo | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 |
| Pada 4Virgo | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 | 24 / 23 |
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
Uttara Phalguni is Adi (Vata) and Anuradha 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
Scorpio and Leo — 4/10 — 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Uttara Phalguni and Anuradha 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 Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha is 6. 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: 6 from Uttara Phalguni and 23 from Anuradha, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Anuradha as the bride and not with Uttara Phalguni.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Uttara Phalguni is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Anuradha 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: 28.5 of 36 puts Anuradha 2nd among Uttara Phalguni's 27 possible partners and Uttara Phalguni 2nd among Anuradha's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Uttara Phalguni’s table
2nd of 27
Anuradha scores 28.5 there, level with 1 other partner. 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.
In Anuradha’s table
2nd of 27
Uttara Phalguni scores 28.5 there outright. Anuradha’s 27 partners run from 12 to 31 with a median of 20, so this one sits above the middle of what Anuradha can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
The whole of Ashtakoot for Uttara Phalguni and Anuradha 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 good 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 Uttara Phalguni page and the Anuradha page.
