Uttara Phalguni and Hasta nakshatra matching
13–15 of 36 with Uttara Phalguni as bride, 14–16 with Hasta as bride — then computed again for all sixteen pada combinations.

spread of 10
Of the eight kootas, 7 leave something on the table for this pair and 1 does not. Nadi is the largest at 0 of 8 — Hasta: Adi (Vata) · Uttara Phalguni: Adi (Vata). The complete one is Tara, which is 3 of the 36 guna earned before any deduction is applied.
The pada decides part of this one. Uttara Phalguni runs from Leo into Virgo after pada 1, and 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. Across the sixteen combinations the total moves between 14 and 24, a swing of 10 guna against a median of 2 for all 351 pairs.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Uttara Phalguni with Hasta. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Uttara Phalguni bride | Hasta bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 0 | 1 | Hasta: Vaishya · Uttara Phalguni: Kshatriya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0 | 0 | Hasta: Manav · Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar |
| Tara / 3 | 3 | 3 | Counting from Uttara Phalguni: Sampat (2) · from Hasta: Ati-Mitra (9) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Hasta: Buffalo · Uttara Phalguni: Cow |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 4 | 4 | Hasta: Mercury · Uttara Phalguni: Sun |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Hasta: Deva · Uttara Phalguni: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Virgo and Leo — 2/12 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Hasta: Adi (Vata) · Uttara Phalguni: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 13–15 | 14–16 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Hasta: Adi (Vata) · Uttara Phalguni: Adi (Vata). The heaviest koota in the system, all or nothing.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Virgo and Leo — 2/12. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
- Vashya, 0 of 2 — Hasta: Manav · Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar. The one combination every published table scores at nothing.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Hasta: Deva · Uttara Phalguni: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Graha Maitri, 4 of 5 — Hasta: Mercury · Uttara Phalguni: Sun. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Hasta: Buffalo · Uttara Phalguni: Cow. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Varna, 0 of 1 — Hasta: Vaishya · Uttara Phalguni: Kshatriya. The groom's rank has to reach the bride's and does not. One guna, and no tradition treats it as disqualifying.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Uttara Phalguni’s table and Hasta’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Uttara Phalguni runs Leo 26°40′ – Virgo 10°00′ and Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 0°00′ and 26°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Uttara Phalguni as bride first, Hasta as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 13 at the lowest and 24 at the highest.
| Uttara Phalguni ↓ / Hasta → | Pada 1Virgo | Pada 2Virgo | Pada 3Virgo | Pada 4Virgo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Leo | 13 / 14 | 13 / 14 | 13 / 14 | 13 / 14 |
| Pada 2Virgo | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
| Pada 3Virgo | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
| Pada 4Virgo | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 2 guna to every cell. 12 of the sixteen clear the conventional threshold of 18; the other 4 do not. 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 Uttara Phalguni and Hasta rather than guessed at.
Nadi Koota — 0 of 8
Uttara Phalguni and Hasta are both Adi (Vata), 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 Uttara Phalguni with Hasta however well everything else goes.
Bhakoot Koota — 0 of 7 at pada 1
In 4 of the sixteen pada combinations, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Sun and Mercury, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.
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 Uttara Phalguni and Hasta 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 Hasta is 2. 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: 2 from Uttara Phalguni and 27 from Hasta, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Hasta 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), Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light) — 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: 14 of 36 puts Hasta 24th among Uttara Phalguni's 27 possible partners and Uttara Phalguni 22nd among Hasta's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Uttara Phalguni’s table
24th of 27
Hasta scores 14 there outright. Uttara Phalguni’s 27 partners run from 11.5 to 33 with a median of 21, so this one sits below the middle of what Uttara Phalguni can reach — all 27 rows.
In Hasta’s table
22nd of 27
Uttara Phalguni scores 14 there outright. Hasta’s 27 partners run from 9 to 28 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Hasta can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
The whole of Ashtakoot for Uttara Phalguni and Hasta 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: what a birth date alone can and cannot settle and how to check compatibility in a kundli. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Uttara Phalguni page and the Hasta page.
