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.
