What the numbers mean for Hasta and Dhanishta

Hasta is a Deva star and Dhanishta a Rakshasa star — the two ganas traditionally read as furthest apart, so Gana scores 0 of 6. This is the koota most often behind a low total between two otherwise compatible charts, and it is about temperament, not character.

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 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 Kanya (Virgo) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Kanya is ruled by Mercury and Makara by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 3 of 5 and Vashya at 1 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 Hasta fall in Kanya. 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). The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask

Is Hasta and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?

Hasta and Dhanishta 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 Hasta and Dhanishta?

23 of 36: 12 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 11 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Kanya for Hasta and Makara for Dhanishta.

Is there nadi dosha between Hasta and Dhanishta?

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 Hasta and Dhanishta is the boy's star?

Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Hasta 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.
