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 Adi 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).
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.
Ardra — Ardra is the storm that clears the air. Ruled by Rahu and presided over by Rudra, the howling form of Shiva, it works through upheaval: the tear that follows destruction and the freshness that follows the tear.

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.
