Ardra and Ashlesha Nakshatra Compatibility
Ardra and Ashlesha score 20 of 36 gunas in the classical Guna Milan used for marriage matching. That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug.
Koota by koota
| Koota · what it measures | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Varna spiritual and work-ethic compatibility | 0 / 1 | None |
| Vashya how naturally you'll influence and defer to each other, day to day | 2 / 2 | Full |
| Tara how each of you affects the other's luck and wellbeing | 3 / 3 | Full |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 0 / 4 | None |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 4 / 5 | Partial |
| Gana temperament — calm, balanced, or intense natures matching up | 4 / 6 | Partial |
| Bhakoot love, family growth, and financial harmony over time | 7 / 7 | Full |
| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Ardra and Ashlesha
Ardra is a Manushya star and Ashlesha a Rakshasa star. Adjacent ganas score 4 of 6: temperaments differ but are traditionally read as workable.
Nadi scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Ardra and Ashlesha fall in the same nadi, which is what is traditionally called nadi dosha. It is the single koota families weight most heavily, and the usual advice is to have an astrologer look at the full charts, where exemptions based on rashi and pada often apply.
Yoni scores 0 of 4 — the two stars are traditionally read as an opposed pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara, which reads how each partner affects the other's fortune, scores in full.
With the moon in Mithuna (Gemini) and Karka (Cancer), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Mithuna is ruled by Mercury and Karka by Moon, which sets Graha Maitri at 4 of 5 and Vashya at 2 of 2. Varna scores 0 of 1.

About the moon-sign assumption
Four kootas — Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot — read the moon sign, not the star, and a page about two stars has no birth details. All four padas of Ardra fall in Mithuna. All four padas of Ashlesha fall in Karka. The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask
Is Ardra and Ashlesha a good match for marriage?
Ardra and Ashlesha score 20 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Acceptable — some areas need discussion". That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug. A full kundli with both birth dates, times and places can move this figure, so use the free calculator for a real couple's exact result.
How many gunas match between Ardra and Ashlesha?
20 of 36: 7 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 13 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Mithuna for Ardra and Karka for Ashlesha.
Is there nadi dosha between Ardra and Ashlesha?
Yes, in this calculation: Ardra and Ashlesha share a nadi, so Nadi scores 0 of 8. Classical exemptions based on rashi and pada often apply, which is why an astrologer's reading of the full charts is the usual next step.
Does it matter which of Ardra and Ashlesha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Ashlesha and Ardra give the same 20 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
