Nakshatra Compatibility Calculator

While full Ashtakoota draws on both the Moon SIGN and the Moon NAKSHATRA, three of its eight kootas — **Tara, Yoni, and Nadi** — are derived purely from the nakshatra itself. This calculator isolates exactly those three for a focused read on how well-matched two birth stars are, independent of sign-based factors like Varna or Bhakoot.

Why Tara, Yoni, and Nadi Specifically

Tara measures birth-star counting for general well-being, Yoni measures physical/instinctual compatibility through animal symbolism, and Nadi measures a classical biological-energy classification tied to health — together they form a coherent, nakshatra-only lens distinct from the sign-based factors (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot) elsewhere in the full Ashtakoota system.

These Three Carry 15 of the Full 36 Points

Tara (3), Yoni (4), and Nadi (8) together account for 15 of the classical 36-point total — including Nadi, the single most heavily weighted koota — so a strong or weak showing here already gives real signal even before considering the remaining sign-based factors.

When This Focused View Is Most Useful

If you specifically want to understand the health/well-being angle of a match (rather than the full financial-harmony-and-attraction picture Ashtakoota covers), this narrower nakshatra-only view is often the more directly relevant one to check first.

Nakshatra Compatibility Calculator FAQs

What is Nakshatra Compatibility?
A focused compatibility check using only the three Ashtakoota kootas derived purely from the birth nakshatra — Tara, Yoni, and Nadi — rather than the full eight-factor Ashtakoota system.
Why isn't Gana included here, since it's also nakshatra-based?
Gana is indeed nakshatra-derived, but this calculator specifically isolates Tara, Yoni, and Nadi as the three most directly comparable "birth star" factors; Gana (temperament) has its own dedicated calculator on this site.
Is this the same as a full Kundli match?
No — this covers 15 of the full 36 Ashtakoota points; for the complete eight-koota analysis including sign-based factors, use this site's Kundli Matching or Ashtakoota Calculator instead.
Which of these three factors matters most?
Nadi (8 points) is classically the most heavily weighted of all eight Ashtakoota kootas, making it the single most significant factor within this three-koota subset.
Can I have good Tara and Yoni scores but still have Nadi Dosha?
Yes — the three kootas are scored entirely independently, so a chart can show strong birth-star counting and physical compatibility while still sharing the same Nadi, which is exactly the kind of nuance this calculator is built to surface.
