Varna & Vashya
Varna indicates basic spiritual and temperamental compatibility. Vashya examines the mutual pull and control dynamic between the two individuals — essentially, how naturally they gravitate toward and influence each other.
Tara & Yoni
Tara looks at destiny flow and the role of fate in the relationship's journey. Yoni examines physical and intimate compatibility — a layer that speaks to closeness and attraction that goes beyond surface personality.
Graha Maitri (Planetary Friendship)
Graha Maitri assesses the friendship between the Moon sign lords of both individuals. It speaks directly to psychological ease, natural friendship, and the quality of day-to-day emotional companionship in the relationship.
Gana & Bhakoot
Gana looks at temperamental classification — whether both individuals share a Deva (divine), Manava (human), or Rakshasa (intense) nature. Bhakoot examines the inter-chart Moon house relationship and its long-term effect on prosperity and family.
Nadi Koota
Nadi carries the highest weight in the Ashta Koota system because it speaks to the deepest biological and karmic compatibility patterns. If both individuals share the same Nadi, this Dosha traditionally calls for expert interpretation before concluding anything — not automatic rejection.
