| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 8 / 8 | Full |
What the numbers mean for Vishakha 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 2 of 4 — a friendly rather than identical pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara, which reads how each partner affects the other's fortune, scores in full.
With the moon in Tula (Libra) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Tula is ruled by Venus and Makara by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 3 of 5 and Vashya at 1 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. Vishakha spans two signs — padas 1, 2, 3 in Tula; padas 4 in Vrishchika — and this page takes Tula. 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 Vishakha and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?
Vishakha and Dhanishta 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. 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 Vishakha and Dhanishta?
31 of 36: 19 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 12 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Tula for Vishakha and Makara for Dhanishta.
Is there nadi dosha between Vishakha 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 Vishakha and Dhanishta is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Vishakha 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.
