Mula and Dhanishta Nakshatra Compatibility
Mula and Dhanishta score 24 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 |
| 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 | 8 / 8 | Full |
What the numbers mean for Mula and Dhanishta
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, 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 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 Dhanu (Sagittarius) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Dhanu is ruled by Jupiter and Makara by Saturn, 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. All four padas of Mula fall in Dhanu. Dhanishta spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Makara; padas 3, 4 in Kumbha — and this page takes Makara (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 Mula and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?
Mula and Dhanishta score 24 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 Mula and Dhanishta?
24 of 36: 16 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 Dhanu for Mula and Makara for Dhanishta.
Is there nadi dosha between Mula and Dhanishta?
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 Mula and Dhanishta is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Mula give the same 24 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
