spread of 4
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 Uttara Phalguni with Shravana that leaves 2 of the eight at full marks — Tara and Nadi — and 6 carrying a deduction: Bhakoot (0 of 7), Graha Maitri (0 of 5), Gana (5 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4), Vashya (0–1 of 2) and Varna (0 of 1). The heaviest of them is Bhakoot, where Capricorn and Leo — 6/8 gives 0 of 7.
The pada decides part of this one. Uttara Phalguni runs from Leo into Virgo after pada 1 and Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar, 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 18 and 22, a swing of 4 guna against a median of 2 for all 351 pairs.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Uttara Phalguni and Shravana, 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.

| Total / 36 | 17–20 | 18–21 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Capricorn and Leo — 6/8. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Graha Maitri, 0 of 5 — Shravana: Saturn · Uttara Phalguni: Sun. Mutual enemies on the largest of the temperament kootas.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Shravana: Deva · Uttara Phalguni: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Uttara Phalguni: Cow. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Shravana: Chatushpada · Uttara Phalguni: Vanachar. The middle of this koota: tables put a pair like this anywhere between half a guna and one.
- Varna, 0 of 1 — Shravana: Vaishya · Uttara Phalguni: Kshatriya. A deliberately one-way test on rank, failed in this direction. It is one point of thirty-six.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Uttara Phalguni’s table and Shravana’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Uttara Phalguni runs Leo 26°40′ – Virgo 10°00′ and Shravana runs Capricorn 10°00′ – 23°20′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 120°00′ and 146°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Uttara Phalguni as bride first, Shravana as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 17 at the lowest and 22 at the highest.

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 Uttara Phalguni and Shravana rather than guessed at.
Nadi Koota — 8 of 8
Uttara Phalguni is Adi (Vata) and Shravana 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 Sun and Saturn, 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
Two tests the eight kootas leave out, both settled by the distance between the two stars: Uttara Phalguni to Shravana is 11 and back is 18, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 11 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 both ways. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 11 with Uttara Phalguni as bride, 18 with Shravana — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds either way round here.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Uttara Phalguni is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Shravana is Chara (movable) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 18 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 19th place in Uttara Phalguni's table, 17th in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Uttara Phalguni’s table
19th of 27
Shravana scores 18 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 Shravana’s table
17th of 27
Uttara Phalguni scores 18 there, level with 1 other partner. Shravana’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 28 with a median of 20.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Shravana 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 Uttara Phalguni 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 acceptable 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 Uttara Phalguni page and the Shravana page.
