Common questions
- How many points is Vashya Koota worth?
- 2 marks out of the thirty-six.
- How often does it score zero?
- In 0 of the 729 possible nakshatra pairings — 0%.
- Does it read the same for the boy and the girl?
- Yes. This koota's table is symmetric, so swapping the two sides does not change the score.
- What score is needed on Vashya Koota?
- The texts set no threshold on a single koota — the threshold is eighteen out of thirty-six on the total. A zero here is not separately named a dosha.
- How do I find mine?
- It comes from your birth Moon — from your sign. Find yours in the list above, or cast a chart and read it directly.
Ashtakoot compares the two Moons only. It does not check Manglik dosha, the seventh house, the ninth-part chart or the periods either person is running.
Match two charts
The matching tool runs all eight kootas on two birth charts and prints what produced each score — including the cancellations, named rather than silently applied.
