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.
Uttara Ashadha — Where Purva Ashadha wins early, Uttara Ashadha wins permanently. Ruled by the Sun and presided over by the Vishvadevas, it is the elephant’s unstoppable, unhurried walk to a victory that benefits everyone.
Uttara Phalguni — Where Purva Phalguni celebrates, Uttara Phalguni commits. Ruled by the Sun and presided over by Aryaman, patron of alliances and marriage contracts, it is the nakshatra of the kept word and the helpful hand.

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.
