Swati — Swati is the young shoot that bends in the wind and does not break. Ruled by Rahu and presided over by Vayu, it grants independence, adaptability, and the quiet strength of things that grow slowly in open air.
Mula — Mula digs to the root — and sometimes pulls it out. Ruled by Ketu and presided over by Nirriti, it is the nakshatra of radical inquiry: destroying the false foundation so the true one can be found.

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.
