Bharani and Shatabhisha Nakshatra Compatibility
Bharani and Shatabhisha 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 Bharani and Shatabhisha
Bharani is a Manushya star and Shatabhisha 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 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 Mesha (Aries) and Kumbha (Aquarius), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Mesha is ruled by Mars and Kumbha by Saturn, 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 Bharani fall in Mesha. All four padas of Shatabhisha fall in Kumbha. The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask
Is Bharani and Shatabhisha a good match for marriage?
Bharani and Shatabhisha 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 Bharani and Shatabhisha?
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 Mesha for Bharani and Kumbha for Shatabhisha.
Is there nadi dosha between Bharani and Shatabhisha?
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 Bharani and Shatabhisha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Shatabhisha and Bharani 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.
