There Is No Single Ideal Nakshatra Pair for Marriage

Stand on the first person's nakshatra as Janma, count forward to the second person's star, and reduce the count in nines. The remainder is the tara. Because the count is directional in many working sheets, her count toward him and his count toward her can differ, which is why a single ideal pair pasted on a blog fails as soon as you swap the two people. Ashwini to Bharani is not a universal romance. It is one step, Sampat, from Ashwini, and a different step when you start at Bharani and walk the long way around the twenty-seven. The other kootas then add yoni animals, the three ganas, and the three nadis. Nadi alone is worth 8 points and can sink a friendly tara.

Deva nakshatras include Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, and Revati. Rakshasa nakshatras include Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Dhanishta, and Shatabhisha. A Deva-Rakshasa pair is the gana tension, worth up to 6 points, even if their tara count is friendly. Dog yoni, Mula, against a hostile yoni is a 4-point problem of a third kind. Stacking only the friendly taras and calling them perfect pairs ignores these columns. It also ignores bhakoot, the sign pattern worth 7. The 7th lord of each lagna is outside the 36 points entirely and can contradict a pretty guna sheet.

A couple with kind tara and sound nadi still marries, or fails to, in the 7th lord's antardasha or in Venus's twenty years. D9 shows whether the nakshatra friendship becomes a household. Jyothish SI can compute both nakshatras from both birth times. If either time is a guess, the tara count is a guess, because one nakshatra of error changes the step. There is no list on this page of ideal husbands for each star. There is a count, a set of kootas, and two 7th houses. That is the whole of an honest match.
