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.
Jyeshtha — Jyeshtha is the eldest — the one responsibility finds first. Ruled by Mercury and presided over by Indra, it carries rank, protective duty, and a penetrating cleverness that others sense and respect.
Purva Ashadha — Purva Ashadha is the early, unstoppable victory — water that always finds its way. Ruled by Venus and presided over by the water goddesses, it separates grain from chaff and declares its truth without apology.

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.
