Scored on the four kootas that need only two rashis, and clear about the twenty-one points that need a birth time.
These fifteen points land well. That is a real signal, and it is fifteen of thirty-six. These are the four Ashtakoot kootas that two rashis are enough to work out: Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot. The other four need a birth time, and they are worth twenty-one points.
Compatible - Groom (Kshatriya) is equal or higher than Bride (Shudra)
Same Vashya (Manava) - Excellent mutual understanding and attraction
Both neutral - Average mental compatibility
Position 3/11 - Compatible Moon signs for emotional harmony
Aquarius sits 3th from Sagittarius in the rashi chakra. Bhakoot reads that distance and nothing else. Not the elements, and not the lords.
No Bhakoot caution at this distance. The seven points stand in full.
Change the order of the two people and the score changes: Sagittarius first scores 13, Aquarius first scores 12. Varna compares the first person’s varna against the second’s, and Bhakoot counts from the first rashi, so the order is part of the question.
| Koota | Sagittarius first | Aquarius first | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1/1 | 0/1 | moves |
| Vashya | 2/2 | 2/2 | — |
| Graha Maitri | 3/5 | 3/5 | — |
| Bhakoot | 7/7 | 7/7 | — |
| Total | 13/15 | 12/15 | differs |
The first bar is how nearly every compatibility page scores this pair: it looks up ten element pairings, which gives eight distinct answers for all 144 sign pairs. The second is four of the eight Ashtakoot kootas, which give 27. Neither is a reading, but only one of them can tell Sagittarius and Aquarius apart from Sagittarius and Gemini.
Twenty-one of the thirty-six points depend on the nakshatra, which is the Moon’s exact position at birth. The Moon moves through all 27 of them in under a month. No page that knows only two rashis can work them out, and any page that prints a “36-point score” from two sun signs is making twenty-one of them up.
Graha Maitri scores 3 of 5 for that pairing alone: mutual neutral. Every rashi pair with those two lords scores the same five points, so this koota is worth checking and not worth reading on its own.
That distance is the whole of Bhakoot, the largest koota at seven points. It is not one of the three cautioned distances, so the seven points stand.
The element table gives this pair 85%. The four rashi kootas give 13 out of 15 one way round and 12 the other.
Gun Milan scores thirty-six across eight kootas and checks Mangal dosha on both charts. It needs two birth times, and it is free.
