Nadi Dosha: The Most Feared Incompatibility

Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners share the same Nadi (Aadi, Madhya, or Antya). It scores 0/8 and is traditionally considered the most serious incompatibility — associated with health problems, fertility issues, and even the partner's untimely death in extreme interpretations.

However: Modern jyotishis widely recognize several cancellation conditions for Nadi Dosha. If the moon signs or nakshatras are different despite same nadi, many schools consider the dosha cancelled or reduced.

Never reject a match based on a single kuta score alone. Always get a full chart comparison from an experienced jyotishi.

What Ashtakoot Doesn't Tell You

The 36-point score is a starting point, not the final word. Experienced jyotishis also examine:

7th house strength
The house of marriage in both charts — its lord, planets in it, and aspects
Venus & Jupiter
The natural significators of marriage and spouse in both charts
Mangal Dosha
Mars placement in marriage-related houses — checked separately from kuta scores
Dasha at marriage time
Whether the timing is right for marriage based on both partners' current dasha
Navamsha chart
The D9 chart specifically governs marriage and is as important as the birth chart
