Mrigashira and Chitra Nakshatra Compatibility
Mrigashira and Chitra score 14 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 | 2 / 2 | Full |
| Tara how each of you affects the other's luck and wellbeing | 0 / 3 | None |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 1 / 4 | Partial |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 4 / 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 | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Mrigashira and Chitra
Mrigashira is a Deva star and Chitra 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 scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Mrigashira and Chitra 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 0 of 3 on the star-distance count between Mrigashira and Chitra.
With the moon in Vrishabha (Taurus) and Kanya (Virgo), 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 Kanya by Mercury, which sets Graha Maitri at 4 of 5 and Vashya at 2 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). Chitra spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Kanya; padas 3, 4 in Tula — and this page takes Kanya (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 Mrigashira and Chitra a good match for marriage?
Mrigashira and Chitra score 14 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 Mrigashira and Chitra?
14 of 36: 1 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 13 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Vrishabha for Mrigashira and Kanya for Chitra.
Is there nadi dosha between Mrigashira and Chitra?
Yes, in this calculation: Mrigashira and Chitra 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 Mrigashira and Chitra is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Chitra and Mrigashira give the same 14 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
