What the numbers mean for Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta
Uttara Phalguni is a Manushya star and Dhanishta a Rakshasa 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 Kanya (Virgo) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Kanya is ruled by Mercury and Makara 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. Uttara Phalguni spans two signs — padas 1 in Simha; padas 2, 3, 4 in Kanya — and this page takes Kanya. 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 Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?
Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta score 25 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 Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta?
25 of 36: 14 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 Kanya for Uttara Phalguni and Makara for Dhanishta.
Is there nadi dosha between Uttara Phalguni 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 Uttara Phalguni and Dhanishta is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Uttara Phalguni give the same 25 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
