Vashya koota in Ashtakoot matching (2 points)
Kundaligram education desk · About · Updated 2026-09-26
Vashya koota is worth 2 of 36 points. It compares the Vashya group of the bride’s Moon sign with the groom’s, using a classical matrix rather than a yes/no rule. The same group scores 2. Mixed pairs can score 1, 0.5, or 0. Kundaligram maps its five Avakhada groups — Chatushpada, Human, Jalachara, Vanachara, and Keeta — onto that matrix.

What “control” means here
Classical texts treat Vashya as a sign of how readily two Moon-sign temperaments accommodate each other. It is a small compatibility factor, not a claim that one person should dominate the other.
Kundaligram shows the two group names and the matrix score. It does not translate a 0 into advice about who must obey whom.
Five groups, including Leo and Scorpio as their own types
The engine’s Avakhada names are Chatushpada (quadruped), Human, Jalachara (water), Vanachara, and Keeta. In the Saravali-style matrix Kundaligram uses, Vanachara is the Leo column and Keeta is the Scorpio column — those signs are their own Vashya types, not a translation error.
Same-group cells score 2. Human with several other groups scores 1. Some crossings, such as quadruped with Leo, score 0.5. Quadruped with Human, water, or Scorpio scores 0 in this table.
The score depends on who is the bride
The matrix is not fully symmetric. Human (bride) with quadruped (groom) scores 1, while quadruped (bride) with Human (groom) scores 0. Slot order matters.
Kundaligram looks up bride row by groom column from the Moon signs only. The exact degree inside the sign does not change Vashya, because the group is a property of the sign.
Two points in a thirty-six point sum
A perfect Vashya adds 2. A zero removes 2. Either way, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi still dominate the total.
Use Vashya as texture when you read the matching page, then open both birth charts if the number surprises you.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Vashya score a half point?
- Yes. This matrix includes 0.5 cells, so the koota total can be fractional before it is added to the other seven scores.
- Does birth time change Vashya?
- Only if it changes the Moon’s sign. Within one sign, Vashya stays the same.
- Where is this on Kundaligram?
- On the kundli matching report, as the Vashya row with both groups and the points scored out of 2.
