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 — and here Graha Maitri is strong, which the texts treat as a mitigating factor.
Shravana — Shravana is the sacred ear — the nakshatra of listening, learning and the preserved word. Ruled by the Moon and presided over by Vishnu, it connects worlds: teacher to student, past to present, person to person.
Hasta — Hasta is the hand that makes. Ruled by the Moon and presided over by Savitar, the golden-handed sun of inspiration, it grants dexterity of fingers and of mind — craft, wit, and the power to grasp what is sought.

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.
