Common questions
- What is Bhakoot dosha?
- Bhakoot compares the Moon signs. When they sit 2-12, 6-8 or 5-9 apart the koota scores 0 of 7. Classical texts link it to family welfare and money, so parents ask about it often.
- When is Bhakoot dosha not a problem?
- If the Moon signs are not 2-12, 6-8 or 5-9 apart there is no dosha. If they are, the two rules on the cancellation page can still set it aside.
- Does a cancelled Bhakoot dosha still lose points?
- Yes. Cancellation does not add the 7 points back to the total. Your result shows the score as it is and the dosha line says which named rule applies.
- Should we decide a marriage on Bhakoot dosha alone?
- No. It is one factor next to the 36-point total, the other doshas and both charts. Check your pair on our free tool and take the printed result to a pandit you trust.
- Is it free? Are there ads?
- Yes, it is free, and there are no ads. There is no sign-up or login either. Birth details are never kept on our servers. The API and MCP server are free too.
