Dhanishta and Mrigashira
Nakshatra Compatibility
Dhanishta and Mrigashira form a good nakshatra match, scoring 15 of 21 on the birth-star kootas. The two are broadly compatible, with only minor areas that reward patience and understanding.
Koota by Koota
Rakshasa and Deva gana differ in temperament, so the two may need patience and understanding to meet in the middle.
Different nadi (Antya and Madhya) gives the full points. Nadi is the most important koota, tied to health and children, so this is a strong, favourable sign.
The Lion and Serpent yonis sit well together, giving a comfortable instinctive and physical bond.
The mutual star count is favourable, so the two tend to support each other's health, fortune, and peace of mind.
This score uses the four kootas that can be judged from the birth star alone (Gana, Nadi, Yoni and Tara), out of 21 points. Full Ashtakoota matching is out of 36 points and also needs the Moon sign and planetary lords from both complete birth charts, plus Mangal dosha and the seventh house. Treat this as a helpful first check, not a final verdict.
