What is Tara koota in kundli matching?
Tara koota measures birth star compatibility by calculating the positional relationship between the bride's and groom's nakshatras. It carries 3 points and is associated with health, prosperity, and fortune in the marriage. Inauspicious tara positions include Vipat (3rd), Pratyari (5th), and Naidhana (7th).
What is inauspicious tara and how serious is it?
Inauspicious tara (Vipat, Pratyari, or Naidhana) indicates potential obstacles, health concerns, or challenges in prosperity. Getting 0 in tara is considered moderately unfavorable. However, it is not as serious as Nadi Dosha (8 pts) or Bhakoot Dosha (7 pts). Strong scores in other kootas can compensate.
How is Tara koota calculated?
Count from the bride's birth nakshatra to the groom's nakshatra and divide by 9. The remainder gives the tara position. Then count from groom's nakshatra to bride's and do the same. Stars 1 (Janma), 3 (Vipat), 5 (Pratyari), and 7 (Naidhana) are inauspicious. Stars 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 are auspicious.
