4 of 36 gunas — below the classical threshold of 18 — traditions would counsel a closer look

| Vashya | mutual influence between sign groups | 1 / 2 |
| Tara | birth-star distance and wellbeing | 1.5 / 3 |
| Yoni | instinctive nature (Elephant + Tiger) | 1 / 4 |
| Graha Maitri | friendship of the Moon-sign lords (Mars + Mercury) | 0.5 / 5 |
| Gana | temperament class (Manushya + Rakshasa) | 0 / 6 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance and life rhythm | 0 / 7 |

| Total | 4 / 36 | |
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 →
Nadi: both Moons run in the Madhya nadi, so Nadi scores 0 — the dosha the texts weigh most heavily, and the one with the most classical exceptions (same rashi, different nakshatra; same nakshatra, different pada; and more).
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.
Bharani — Bharani bears what others cannot. Ruled by Venus and presided over by Yama, it holds the whole arc of life — conception, birth, death and renewal — and gives its natives unusual capacity to carry weight and to transform.
Chitra — Chitra is the jewel of the zodiac — the nakshatra of the celestial architect. Ruled by Mars and presided over by Vishvakarma, it builds beautiful things: buildings, images, identities, worlds.

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.
