Short answer
In South Indian practice two birth stars are a good match when Rajju and Vedhai both pass and at least 7 of the 10 poruthams agree; 5 or 6 is average, and a Rajju or Vedhai failure makes it not recommended. This table applies those rules to every star pair. It is a first filter: the full horoscopes decide.
On this page
- How do you read the nakshatra compatibility table?
- Why do Rajju and Vedhai come first?
- How does one pair work out? A worked example
- What do the numbers behind the table show?
- Do Gun Milan and the 10 poruthams agree?
- Can I download the full star-match data?
- What can a star table not tell you?
- How was the table calculated?
- What else do families ask about star matching?
- How do I check our own pair?
Families often want to see, at a glance, which birth stars match their son's or daughter's star. This page gives the complete table for all 27 stars (nakshatras), computed with the same code as our free star match and our WhatsApp service, the statistics behind it, and a free download. If you do not know a birth star yet, find it first with the birth star finder.
How do you read the nakshatra compatibility table?
Find the bride's star in the first column. A star that spans two Moon signs (rashi), such as Krittika, has a row for each sign, because Rasi, Rasi Athipathi and Vasiyam depend on the sign. The next columns list the groom's stars that are a good match, an average match or not recommended by the 10 poruthams:
- Good: Rajju and Vedha pass and 7 or more of 10 match.
- Average: Rajju and Vedha pass and 5 or 6 match.
- Not recommended: Rajju or Vedha fails, or fewer than 5 match.
The table is directional. Poruthams are counted from the bride's star to the groom's, so "bride Rohini, groom Hasta" is not always the same result as "bride Hasta, groom Rohini". Always start from the bride's row.

Why do Rajju and Vedhai come first?
Tradition treats these two as gates. Rajju divides the 27 stars into five groups (feet, waist, navel, neck and head); when both stars fall in the same group, the match is avoided whatever else agrees. Vedhai lists fixed pairs of stars that obstruct each other, such as Ashwini and Jyeshtha or Rohini and Swati. A pair that passes both gates is then judged by how many of the other eight agree. The full reasoning is in Rajju and Vedhai explained and the 10 poruthams explained.
How does one pair work out? A worked example
The bride's star is Rohini (Moon in Vrishabha) and the groom's is Uttara Phalguni with the Moon in Kanya. Counting from Rohini, the 4th star, forward to Uttara Phalguni, the 12th, gives 9. Counting the signs from Vrishabha to Kanya gives 5. Rohini is a neck (Kanta) Rajju star and Uttara Phalguni a navel (Nabhi) star, so Rajju passes, and the two are not a Vedhai pair. The code of our free check gives every result:
| Porutham | Result |

| Dina | Matches |
| Gana | Matches |

The same pair by North Indian Gun Milan, out of 36:
| Koota | What it looks at | Points | Out of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook | 1 | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual influence | 1 | 2 |
| Tara | Health and well-being (birth-star count) | 3 | 3 |
| Yoni | Physical and emotional closeness | 1 | 4 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the Moon-sign lords | 5 | 5 |
| Gana | Temperament | 6 | 6 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: family welfare | 0 | 7 |
| Nadi | Health of the couple and children | 8 | 8 |
| Total | 25 | 36 |
- Bhakoot dosha present, traditionally cancelled because the two rasi lords are natural friends.
Now change only the groom to Swati. Rohini and Swati are both Kanta Rajju and also a fixed Vedhai pair, so both gates fail and the table puts Swati in Rohini's "not recommended" column, however the other eight checks turn out. This is why you read the gates first, and why one star can look fine to one family and wrong to another.
What do the numbers behind the table show?
We paired every possible bride's birth-star quarter (pada) with every groom's, 108 × 108 = 11,664 pairs, treating each pada as equally likely. All results come from the matching code, every time the site is built; none is typed by hand.
By the 10 poruthams:
- Good match: 35.2% · Average: 38.2% · Not recommended: 26.7%
- Rajju fails for 21% of pairs and Vedha for 4.1%; both gates pass for 79%.
- All ten poruthams agree for only 0.4% of pairs, so waiting for a perfect ten is not realistic.
How often each porutham passes:
| Porutham | What it looks at | Pairs that pass |
|---|---|---|
| Dinam | Day-to-day health and harmony | 55.6% |
| Ganam | Temperament | 55.6% |
| Mahendram | Growth of the family | 29.6% |
| Stree Deergham | The bride's well-being | 51.9% |
| Yoni | Physical and emotional closeness | 92.9% |
| Rasi | Harmony of the Moon signs | 63.5% |
| Rasi Athipathi | Friendship of the sign lords | 63.9% |
| Vasiyam | Mutual attraction | 23.6% |
| Rajju | Long life of the marriage (must pass) | 79% |
| Vedhai | Freedom from obstacles (must pass) | 95.9% |
By Gun Milan (36 points):
- 68.8% of pairs reach 18 or more gunas, the usual minimum; 31.2% fall below it. 29.9% reach 25 and 1.4% reach 33.
- The middle total is 21.
- Nadi dosha affects 33.3% of pairs; with padas known, 12% of those are cancelled by a classical rule. See Nadi dosha.
- Bhakoot dosha affects 50%; 47.2% of those are cancelled by the sign lords. See Bhakoot dosha.
Do Gun Milan and the 10 poruthams agree?
For most pairs, yes. They disagree for 35.4%: 20% pass only the poruthams and 15.4% pass only Gun Milan, mostly because of Nadi on one side and Rajju on the other. Families in Tamil Nadu and Kerala usually go by poruthams, families in the north by gunas; when both systems pass (53.4% of pairs) you can be more confident.

What can a star table not tell you?
A star table compares the Moon's stars only. It cannot see Mangal dosha (check it free on the Mangal dosha page), dosha balance (dosha samya) between the two charts, the 7th house, or the timing of marriage. Those need both full kundlis with birth times; without a time, read matching without birth time. If the real question is why marriage is getting late, see marriage delay. Astrology here is guidance, not a guarantee: it helps a family weigh a proposal, and the decision stays with the family.
How was the table calculated?
- The 10 poruthams follow the rules of Navatara's WhatsApp service, tested on every star and rashi combination.
- Gun Milan uses the tables named in our editorial standards. Other calculators can differ by a point or two.
- Statistics weight each of the 108 padas equally, which is close to, but not exactly, how birth stars occur in real life.
- Data date: computed on every build of this site; this page was published on 8 October 2026.
What else do families ask about star matching?
Which star is best for marriage? No star is best for everyone. A star matches well with some stars and not with others, which is what the table shows.
Our stars are "not recommended". Is it final? On the stars alone, yes for that method. The full kundlis can show balancing factors, and families decide with the whole picture. Read is kundli matching necessary?.
Can I use the table without knowing the rasi? Yes, for 18 of the 27 stars, which lie in one sign. For the nine that span two signs, pick the row and entries with the right rashi, or use the free check.
Is a same-star marriage allowed? It depends on the star and the tradition. Find your star's own row and look for it in the groom columns; the free check shows the reasons.
Is this the same table as in a panchangam? It follows the same porutham rules as Tamil panchangams. Small differences between panchangams exist; we name our rules.
How many poruthams are enough? Rajju and Vedha, plus 5 or more of the ten, is the common minimum; 7 or more is good. Details in how many should match.
