What causes Bhakoot dosha

Count from the groom’s Moon sign to the bride’s. When the two signs are 2 and 12, 5 and 9, or 6 and 8 apart, Bhakoot scores 0 of 7: this is Bhakoot dosha. The 6-8 relationship (shadashtak) is traditionally considered the most difficult.

When it is cancelled

Bhakoot dosha is traditionally cancelled when the lords of the two Moon signs are the same planet or mutual friends. For a 5-9 relationship, many also accept a fully satisfied Nadi koota. The full report checks both.

Questions families ask

Is 6-8 Bhakoot always bad?

It is considered the most difficult, but it too is set aside when the Moon-sign lords are the same or friends.
