Krittika and Pushya Nakshatra Compatibility
Krittika and Pushya 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.
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 |

| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 4 / 4 | Full |

| Gana temperament — calm, balanced, or intense natures matching up | 0 / 6 | None |
| Bhakoot love, family growth, and financial harmony over time | 7 / 7 | Full |
| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 8 / 8 | Full |
What the numbers mean for Krittika and Pushya
Krittika is a Rakshasa star and Pushya a Deva 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 its full 4, the best result for physical and emotional compatibility. Tara, which reads how each partner affects the other's fortune, scores in full.
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 Pushya 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 Pushya a good match for marriage?
Krittika and Pushya 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 Krittika and Pushya?
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 Vrishabha for Krittika and Karka for Pushya.
Is there nadi dosha between Krittika and Pushya?
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 Krittika and Pushya is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Pushya and Krittika 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.
