When the boy's moon is in Punarvasu and the girl's in Hasta, the four birth-star kootas — tara, yoni, gana and nadi — contribute 9.5 of their 21 points. The full 36-guna score depends on which pada (quarter) each moon occupies: across all sixteen pada combinations it ranges from 19 to 23.5 out of 36.
Every pada combination of this pairing lands in the “Acceptable” band of the classical reading. Below is what each koota actually contributes — computed, not copied from a compatibility chart.
The birth-star kootas (fixed for this pair)
- Tara (1.5/3): counted from each birth star to the other; this pair scores 1.5 points.
- Yoni (2/4): neutral yoni animals (Cat and Buffalo) — 2 of 4 points.
- Gana (6/6): Punarvasu is Deva (gentle, giving); Hasta is Deva (gentle, giving). That scores 6 of 6.
- Nadi (0/8 — dosha, unless cancelled): both stars are Aadi nadi. This is the heaviest single loss in the system — and the one fear-sellers lean on. The classical cancellation is checked per pada in the table below; for this pair no pada combination cancels it, so a pandit would weigh the whole chart instead.

The honest read
If an online calculator gave you one flat number for Punarvasu–Hasta, it guessed your padas — or ignored them. The spread above (19 to 23.5) is the truth of this pairing. And even the right number is the beginning of matching, not the end: dasha timing, the seventh house of both charts, and manglik for both partners sit outside the guna count entirely. Anyone who turns a low number into a remedy bill skipped all of that on purpose.
