Bhakoot carries 7 points in Ashtakoota matching. Relative Moon sign placements of 2-12, 9-5, or 6-8 between partners form **Bhakoot Dosh**.

The Three Main Bhakoot Types

  • Shadastak (6-8 Bhakoot): Associated with health variations and emotional friction.
  • Dwidwadash (2-12 Bhakoot): Associated with financial expenditure & budgeting variance.
  • Navpancham (9-5 Bhakoot): Associated with progeny timing & emotional sensitivity.

If Moon sign lords are mutual friends or the same planet (e.g. Aries and Scorpio both ruled by Mars), Bhakoot Dosh is cancelled. Also review Nadi Dosh and overall 36 Guna Milan.
