Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra Compatibility
Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada score 16 of 36 gunas in the classical Guna Milan used for marriage matching. That is below the eighteen-point line most families use. It is not a veto — plenty of good marriages sit here — but it is a prompt to look at the specific kootas and, if the family cares, to ask an astrologer about remedies.

| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada
Dhanishta is a Rakshasa star and Uttara Bhadrapada a Manushya star. Adjacent ganas score 4 of 6: temperaments differ but are traditionally read as workable.
Nadi scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada 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 1 of 4, a neutral pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara, which reads how each partner affects the other's fortune, scores in full.
With the moon in Makara (Capricorn) and Meena (Pisces), 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 Meena by Jupiter, 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). All four padas of Uttara Bhadrapada fall in Meena. The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Is Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada a good match for marriage?
Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada score 16 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Average — proceed thoughtfully". That is below the eighteen-point line most families use. It is not a veto — plenty of good marriages sit here — but it is a prompt to look at the specific kootas and, if the family cares, to ask an astrologer about remedies. 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 Uttara Bhadrapada?
16 of 36: 8 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 Meena for Uttara Bhadrapada.
Is there nadi dosha between Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada?
Yes, in this calculation: Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Dhanishta and Uttara Bhadrapada is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Uttara Bhadrapada and Dhanishta give the same 16 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
