Counting the stars: Tara
Counting from Uttara Ashadha to Uttara Bhadrapada lands on Sadhaka Tara, the star of achievement. Classical texts favour this count, linking it to goals reached together and mutual help in worldly and spiritual life.
Temperament of the two stars
Both stars belong to the Manushya Gana, the human temperament. The tradition reads this as practical, balanced natures that understand each other's daily needs, a favourable Gana pairing.
Nadi Dosha
Both stars share the same Nadi, so the star-based Ashtakoota gives no Nadi points. Classical exceptions apply in some cases; a full chart review is recommended.
Rajju
Both stars fall in the same Rajju group. South Indian practice treats this seriously; discuss exceptions with an astrologer before deciding.
Star-based checks and what they leave out
Seven Tamil Porutham factors depend only on the two birth stars: Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree Deergha, Yoni, Rajju and Vedha. Rasi, Rasi Adhipathi and Vasya need the Moon signs, so they are covered on the sign pages. Of the eight Ashtakoota factors, Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi come from the stars (21 of 36 points); Varna, Vasya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot need the signs.
Bride first, groom second
Traditional counting starts from the bride's star, so Uttara Ashadha with Uttara Bhadrapada can differ from the reverse. Rajju and Vedha are treated as the most important checks in South India; Nadi carries the most points in North India. Always confirm with both complete charts before deciding.
| Factor | Result | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Dina | Agrees | Day-to-day harmony and health are supported. |
| Gana | Agrees | Temperaments (Gana) are compatible. |
| Mahendra | Needs care | Mahendra is absent; many treat it as minor. |
| Stree Deergha | Needs care | The stars are close together; Stree Deergha is not met. |
| Yoni | Needs care | Yoni animals are hostile. |
| Rajju | Needs care | Same Rajju group: Rajju Dosha. |
| Vedha | Agrees | No Vedha (obstruction) between the stars. |
| Kuta | Points |
|---|---|
| Tara | 3/3 |
| Yoni | 0/4 |
| Gana | 6/6 |
| Nadi | 0/8 |
Common questions
Are Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada compatible for marriage?
3 of the 7 star-based Tamil Porutham checks agree, and the star-based Ashtakoota factors give 9 of 21 points. Rajju and Vedha are the checks most families treat as essential.
Is there Rajju Dosha between Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada?
The factor table shows Rajju for this pair. Rajju Dosha arises when both stars fall in the same Rajju group; many families avoid it, while some astrologers consider exceptions.
Is there Nadi Dosha between Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada?
The Ashtakoota table shows Nadi points: 8 means different Nadis (no Dosha), 0 means the same Nadi. Classical exceptions exist when the stars or sign lords meet specific conditions.
What is the difference between Porutham and Guna Milan?
Porutham is the South Indian method with ten pass-or-care checks; Guna Milan (Ashtakoota) is the North Indian method scoring 36 points. Both are shown here for the star-based factors.
Why does the reverse pair give a different result?
Several checks count from the bride's star to the groom's, so swapping them changes the counts. Use the reverse link to compare.
How many Porutham matches are enough?
Many families look for at least half the checks agreeing with Rajju and Vedha both agreeing. Practice varies by community, so confirm with the astrologer your family trusts.
What if the same star is shared by both?
Same-star matches have special rules for Dina Porutham, which depend on the specific star. The result table applies them.
How do I get a full report?
Enter both birth details in the Porutham tool for all ten factors, sign-based checks and Dosha analysis.

Each Nakshatra belongs to the Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa Gana. The section on temperament above gives the pairing for these two stars and how matching reads it.
Is Rajju the most important check for Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada?
In Tamil and Kerala matching, Rajju is treated as one of the most important Poruthams, together with Dina, Gana, Yoni and Rasi. North Indian matching gives the most weight to Nadi and Bhakoot.
Can the same Nakshatra marry?
The tradition allows some same-star marriages depending on the Pada and the star, and forbids others. Families usually consult the full charts and an elder for a same-star match.
