Krittika and Ashlesha Nakshatra Compatibility
Krittika and Ashlesha 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.
Koota by koota
| Koota · what it measures | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Varna spiritual and work-ethic compatibility | 0 / 1 | None |
| Vashya how naturally you'll influence and defer to each other, day to day | 0 / 2 | None |
| Tara how each of you affects the other's luck and wellbeing | 1 / 3 | Partial |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 1 / 4 | Partial |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 1 / 5 | Partial |
| Gana temperament — calm, balanced, or intense natures matching up | 6 / 6 | Full |
| Bhakoot love, family growth, and financial harmony over time | 7 / 7 | Full |
| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Krittika and Ashlesha
Both stars belong to the Rakshasa gana, so Gana — the temperament koota — scores its full 6 points. Temperament is where day-to-day friction shows up first, and matching here is worth more than its number suggests.
Nadi scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Krittika and Ashlesha 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 scores 1 of 3 — a middling result for how each partner affects the other's fortune.
With the moon in Vrishabha (Taurus) and Karka (Cancer), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Vrishabha is ruled by Venus and Karka by Moon, 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. Krittika spans two signs — padas 1 in Mesha; padas 2, 3, 4 in Vrishabha — and this page takes Vrishabha. All four padas of Ashlesha fall in Karka. The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask
Is Krittika and Ashlesha a good match for marriage?
Krittika and Ashlesha 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 Krittika and Ashlesha?
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 Vrishabha for Krittika and Karka for Ashlesha.
Is there nadi dosha between Krittika and Ashlesha?
Yes, in this calculation: Krittika and Ashlesha 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 Krittika and Ashlesha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Ashlesha and Krittika 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.
