What the numbers mean for Punarvasu and Pushya

Both stars belong to the Deva 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, which reads how each partner affects the other's fortune, scores in full.

With the moon in Mithuna (Gemini) and Karka (Cancer), 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 Karka by Moon, 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. Punarvasu spans two signs — padas 1, 2, 3 in Mithuna; padas 4 in Karka — and this page takes Mithuna. All four padas of Pushya 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 Punarvasu and Pushya a good match for marriage?

Punarvasu and Pushya score 31 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Excellent match — highly auspicious". That is the top band: most families and astrologers would read it as a strong, low-friction match on the classical measures.

How many gunas match between Punarvasu and Pushya?

31 of 36: 18 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 Mithuna for Punarvasu and Karka for Pushya.

Is there nadi dosha between Punarvasu and Pushya?

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 Pushya is the boy's star?

Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Pushya and Punarvasu give the same 31 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
