How this list is worked out

Every star, under the rasi it falls in (36 rows), is matched by the same rules the /porutham/ calculator uses. Eight or more of ten with all five of Dinam, Ganam, Yoni, Rasi and Rajju is uthamam; six or seven, again with all five, is madhyamam. When both share one rajju the grade does not rise whatever the count. 'Vedhai stars' means tradition holds the two stars to be vedhai to each other.

The Kongu and Sri Lankan Tamil rule sets count differently; switch the rule set in the /porutham/ calculator for those.

Frequently asked

Which stars match a Karthigai nakshatra woman for marriage?

For a woman born in Karthigai , pada 1 (Mesham rasi), men born in Sadayam and Moolam are an uthamam (good) match. For a woman born in Karthigai nakshatra, padas 2, 3 and 4 (Rishabam rasi), men born in Sadayam are an uthamam (good) match.

Which stars match a Karthigai nakshatra man for marriage?

For a man born in Karthigai nakshatra, pada 1 (Mesham rasi), women born in Ayilyam and Chithirai (padas 3 and 4) are an uthamam (good) match. For a man born in Karthigai nakshatra, padas 2, 3 and 4 (Rishabam rasi), women born in Kettai, Ayilyam and Chithirai are an uthamam (good) match.

Do two Karthigai stars match?

If both are Karthigai, both share one rajju (Nabhi Rajju). Tradition looks at this more closely: under the Tamil Nadu rule set the grade is neither uthamam nor madhyamam even with 5 of 10 poruthams. Talk it over with your family astrologer.

Does it change if the bride's and groom's stars are swapped?

It can. Dinam, Mahendram, Stree Deergham and others count the groom's star from the bride's, so this page lists the matches for a woman and for a man separately.
