Magha and Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra Compatibility

Koota by koota
| Koota · what it measures | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Varna spiritual and work-ethic compatibility | 1 / 1 | Full |
| 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 | 3 / 3 | Full |
| 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 | 4 / 6 | Partial |
| Bhakoot love, family growth, and financial harmony over time | 0 / 7 | None |
| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Magha and Purva Bhadrapada
Magha 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 scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Magha and Purva 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 Simha (Leo) and Kumbha (Aquarius), the two signs sit in the 6/8 position, so Bhakoot scores 0 of 7 — what this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Because it depends on the moon sign rather than the star, a couple whose padas fall in the neighbouring rashi may not have it at all. Simha is ruled by Sun and Kumbha by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 1 of 5 and Vashya at 0 of 2. Varna scores 1 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 Magha fall in Simha. 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 Magha and Purva Bhadrapada a good match for marriage?
Magha and Purva Bhadrapada score 10 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Low compatibility — consult an astrologer". That is a low score on the classical measures. Families who weight kundli heavily usually want an astrologer to look at the full charts before going further. 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 Magha and Purva Bhadrapada?
10 of 36: 8 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 2 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Simha for Magha and Kumbha for Purva Bhadrapada.
Is there nadi dosha between Magha and Purva Bhadrapada?
Yes, in this calculation: Magha and Purva 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 Magha and Purva Bhadrapada is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Purva Bhadrapada and Magha give the same 10 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
