Ardra and Magha Nakshatra Compatibility
Ardra and Magha score 23 of 36 gunas in the classical Guna Milan used for marriage matching. That is comfortably above the eighteen-point line most families use, with room to talk through the one or two kootas that fall short.

What the numbers mean for Ardra and Magha
Ardra is a Manushya star and Magha a Rakshasa star. Adjacent ganas score 4 of 6: temperaments differ but are traditionally read as workable.
Nadi, the heaviest koota at 8 points, scores in full: the two stars fall in different nadis in this calculation, which is the outcome families look for first.
Yoni scores 2 of 4 — a friendly rather than identical pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara scores 1 of 3 — a middling result for how each partner affects the other's fortune.
With the moon in Mithuna (Gemini) and Simha (Leo), 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 Simha by Sun, which sets Graha Maitri at 1 of 5 and Vashya at 0 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 Magha fall in Simha. 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 Magha a good match for marriage?
Ardra and Magha score 23 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Good match — favourable". That is comfortably above the eighteen-point line most families use, with room to talk through the one or two kootas that fall short. 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 Magha?
23 of 36: 15 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 8 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Mithuna for Ardra and Simha for Magha.
Is there nadi dosha between Ardra and Magha?
No. In this calculation the two stars fall in different nadis, so Nadi scores its full 8 points and there is no nadi dosha.
Does it matter which of Ardra and Magha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Magha and Ardra give the same 23 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
