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).
Punarvasu — Punarvasu is the light that comes back after the storm — the arrow returned to the quiver. Ruled by Jupiter and presided over by Aditi, the boundless mother, it restores, forgives and begins again.
Ashwini — Ashwini is the first nakshatra, the spark that sets the zodiac in motion. Ruled by Ketu and presided over by the Ashvins — the twin physicians of the gods — it carries the energy of swift starts, rescue and healing.

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.
