Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra Compatibility
Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada 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 Bhadrapada
Punarvasu is a Deva 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 Punarvasu 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 scores 0 of 3 on the star-distance count between Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada.
With the moon in Mithuna (Gemini) and Kumbha (Aquarius), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Mithuna is ruled by Mercury and Kumbha by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 3 of 5 and Vashya at 1 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. Punarvasu spans two signs — padas 1, 2, 3 in Mithuna; padas 4 in Karka — and this page takes Mithuna. 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.

Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada 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 Bhadrapada?
16 of 36: 5 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 11 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Mithuna for Punarvasu and Kumbha for Purva Bhadrapada.
Is there nadi dosha between Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada?
Yes, in this calculation: Punarvasu 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 Punarvasu and Purva Bhadrapada is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Purva Bhadrapada 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.
