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.
Revati — Revati is the final nakshatra — the shepherd who sees every traveller safely home. Ruled by Mercury and presided over by Pushan, it protects journeys, nourishes the lost, and completes what the whole zodiac began.
Purva Phalguni — Purva Phalguni is the nakshatra of the good life: love, art, celebration and well-earned rest. Ruled by Venus and presided over by Bhaga, it teaches that joy is not a distraction from the path — sometimes it is the path.

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.
