Computed nakshatra-to-nakshatra using each nakshatra’s principal rashi; where a nakshatra spans two rashis, exact birth details can shift Bhakoot, Graha Maitri and Vashya — run the full calculation with both birth details →
Bhakoot: the Moon signs sit in a 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 relationship, so Bhakoot scores 0. Classical practice examines the sign lords before treating this as decisive.
Revati — Revati is the final nakshatra — the shepherd who sees every traveller safely home. Ruled by Mercury and presided over by Pushan, it protects journeys, nourishes the lost, and completes what the whole zodiac began.
Purva Bhadrapada — Purva Bhadrapada is the fire that purifies through intensity. Ruled by Jupiter and presided over by the enigmatic Aja Ekapada, it burns for its ideals — the visionary who will sacrifice comfort, reputation, even themselves, for what they believe.

What this is: the classical Ashtakoota tally, computed exactly as the muhurta texts describe — and what it is not: a verdict on two human beings. Traditions themselves treat the score as one voice among many (families, temperaments, and the judgement of elders and priests), and low scores have classical remedies and exceptions the texts discuss at length. We show the arithmetic honestly and leave the wisdom where it belongs — with you.
