In short: Uttara Ashadha (ruled by the Sun, 26°40′ Sagittarius – 10°00′ Capricorn) is a Manushya nakshatra of the Antya nadi, with the mongoose as its yoni animal. In Guna Milan it decides four kootas with a partner's Moon nakshatra — Tara (3), Yoni (4), Gana (6) and Nadi (8), 21 of the 36 points. The strongest nakshatra-level matches for Uttara Ashadha are Purva Ashadha, Bharani, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta and Pushya; the nine nakshatras of the same nadi, including Uttara Ashadha itself, carry Nadi dosha. Read this as one input, never as a verdict.

Uttara Ashadha loves with integrity and patience; its victory is the lasting kind. It takes commitments seriously and builds slowly. It needs a partner who values reliability and shares long-term goals.
With every nakshatra
Points for the four nakshatra kootas. Gana is not symmetrical in the table we use, so it is shown both ways: with you as the bride and with you as the groom. Tara, Yoni and Nadi are the same either way.

Best nakshatra-level matches
Ranking partners by the average of the two subtotals and setting aside Nadi dosha, Uttara Ashadha's strongest matches are:
- Purva Ashadha — 20 of 21 on average: Yoni mongoose–monkey (3), Manushya–Manushya gana, different nadis.
- Bharani — 19 of 21 on average: Yoni mongoose–elephant (2), Manushya–Manushya gana, different nadis.
- Uttara Phalguni — 19 of 21 on average: Yoni mongoose–cow (2), Manushya–Manushya gana, different nadis.
- Hasta — 18.5 of 21 on average: Yoni mongoose–buffalo (2), Manushya–Deva gana, different nadis.
- Pushya — 18 of 21 on average: Yoni mongoose–sheep (3), Manushya–Deva gana, different nadis.
Nadi dosha
Uttara Ashadha is in the Antya (Kapha) nadi. A partner whose Moon is in any of these nakshatras scores 0 of 8 for Nadi: Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Revati.
Matching manuals list exceptions — for example the same nakshatra in different padas or different signs, or the same Moon sign with different nakshatras — and authorities differ on them. Nadi is a traditional classification, not a medical test. See Guna Milan explained for the full discussion.
Yoni and Gana
Uttara Ashadha's yoni is the mongoose. Its traditional enemy is the serpent, which scores 0 for Yoni. As a Manushya nakshatra, it scores 6 for Gana with another Manushya star. Deva and Manushya mix well in most tables, while Rakshasa paired with either of the others scores lowest. 'Rakshasa' describes an independent, forceful temperament, not a moral failing.
What the nakshatras cannot tell you
The other 15 points of Ashtakoota — Varna (1), Vashya (2), Graha Maitri (5) and Bhakoot (7) — depend on the two Moon signs, and Uttara Ashadha spans two signs, so the same pair of nakshatras can score differently depending on the pada. See the Moon sign compatibility pages, and use the Guna Milan tool for the full 36-point calculation from both birth details.
Beyond the score, astrologers compare the two whole charts: the 7th houses and their lords, Venus, the navamsa, Mangal dosha and the dashas each person will run.
FAQ
Which nakshatra is best for Uttara Ashadha? At the nakshatra level, Purva Ashadha and Bharani score highest in our tables. The full match also depends on the Moon signs and the whole charts.
Can Uttara Ashadha marry Uttara Ashadha? Two Uttara Ashadha Moons share a nadi, so Nadi dosha applies (0 of 8), though several manuals relax it when the padas or signs differ. The other three kootas score 3, 4 and 6.
Why does my total differ from another website's? Gana, Vashya and some Yoni tables differ between almanacs, and sites differ on ayanamsa and on applying exceptions. We use the saravali.de tables and say so.
