What the numbers mean for Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada
Dhanishta is a Rakshasa star and Purva Bhadrapada a Manushya 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 Makara (Capricorn) and Kumbha (Aquarius), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Makara is ruled by Saturn 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. Dhanishta spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Makara; padas 3, 4 in Kumbha — and this page takes Makara (the earlier of an even split). Purva Bhadrapada spans two signs — padas 1, 2, 3 in Kumbha; padas 4 in Meena — and this page takes 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 Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada a good match for marriage?
Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada 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 Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada?
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 Makara for Dhanishta and Kumbha for Purva Bhadrapada.
Is there nadi dosha between Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada?
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 Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Purva Bhadrapada and Dhanishta 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.
