Mrigashira and Ashlesha Nakshatra Compatibility
Mrigashira and Ashlesha score 19 of 36 gunas in the classical Guna Milan used for marriage matching. That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug.
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 | 2 / 4 | Partial |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 1 / 5 | Partial |
| 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 Mrigashira and Ashlesha
Mrigashira is a Deva star and Ashlesha 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 2 of 4 — a friendly rather than identical 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. Mrigashira spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Vrishabha; padas 3, 4 in Mithuna — and this page takes Vrishabha (the earlier of an even split). 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 Mrigashira and Ashlesha a good match for marriage?
Mrigashira and Ashlesha score 19 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Acceptable — some areas need discussion". That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug. 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 Mrigashira and Ashlesha?
19 of 36: 11 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 Mrigashira and Karka for Ashlesha.
Is there nadi dosha between Mrigashira and Ashlesha?
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 Mrigashira and Ashlesha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Ashlesha and Mrigashira give the same 19 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
