Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha Nakshatra Compatibility
Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha score 16 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.

What the numbers mean for Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha
Punarvasu is a Deva star and Purva Ashadha a Manushya star. Adjacent ganas score 4 of 6: temperaments differ but are traditionally read as workable.
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 Mithuna (Gemini) and Dhanu (Sagittarius), 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. Mithuna is ruled by Mercury and Dhanu by Jupiter, 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. Punarvasu spans two signs — padas 1, 2, 3 in Mithuna; padas 4 in Karka — and this page takes Mithuna. All four padas of Purva Ashadha fall in Dhanu. The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask
Is Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha a good match for marriage?
Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha score 16 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 Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha?
16 of 36: 14 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 Mithuna for Punarvasu and Dhanu for Purva Ashadha.
Is there nadi dosha between Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha?
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 Punarvasu and Purva Ashadha is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Purva Ashadha and Punarvasu give the same 16 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
