What Is Bhakoot Dosha
How It Forms
Bhakoot dosha in kundli matching forms when both partners’ Moon signs sit in a bad position relative to each other.
In the ashtakoot milan bhakoot system — when one partner’s Moon sign falls 2-12, 5-9, or 6-8 positions away from the other — the couple scores zero in this category.
This matters because it carries 7 points out of 36 in Guna Milan. Only Nadi carries more at 8 points. Losing 7 points in one go pulls the total score down a lot — which is why families get worried when they see this flag.
Why the Moon Sign Position Matters
The Moon controls your emotions and your mind in Vedic astrology. When both partners’ Moon signs sit in a bad position relative to each other — they find it hard to connect emotionally day to day.
Think of it like two people who always talk past each other. They try. But something always feels off. Over time that feeling grows — not shrinks.
This is what the concern actually looks like in real life — not big fights, but a slow emotional gap that builds year by year.
Three Types of Bhakoot Dosha
Dwirdwadash — The 2-12 Type
Dwirdwadash bhakoot dosha forms when one partner’s Moon sign sits two steps ahead of the other in the zodiac.
This type mainly causes money problems in marriage. Bills pile up. Income feels unstable. Saving money becomes hard. Some health issues can also show up over time. Astrologers consider this the least serious of the three types.
Navpancham — The 5-9 Type
Navpancham bhakoot dosha forms when both Moon signs sit five steps apart in the zodiac.
This type mainly raises concerns about having children. The couple may face delays in starting a family or health problems for their children. It is also the hardest to cancel — both Nadi and Tara scores must be perfect before cancellation applies.
Shadashtak — The 6-8 Type
Shadashtak dosha forms when both Moon signs sit six steps apart — the most serious of all three.
In bad cases this type can cause serious health problems for one partner — especially when other weak positions exist in both charts. Money problems and frequent fights also come with this type.
But it has one of the clearest cancellation rules. When both Moon sign lords are the same planet or good friends — it goes away completely no matter what position they sit in.
Effects on Marriage
Money Problems Come First
Bhakoot dosha effects on marriage show up in money matters first. The couple finds it hard to save. Unexpected bills keep coming. One partner earns but expenses eat it all up.
This does not happen overnight. It builds slowly in the first few years. Most couples never connect the money stress to the concern in their chart.
Emotional Distance Between Partners
The moon sign compatibility marriage problem at the heart of this concern creates emotional distance. Both partners care about each other — but they keep missing each other emotionally.
Small things cause arguments. Both feel like the other person does not understand them. This gap grows bigger over time when nobody addresses it directly.
Health and Child Concerns by Type
The specific concern depends on which type runs active.
The 5-9 type mainly affects having children — delays or health issues for the baby. The 6-8 type can affect the health of one or both partners in serious cases. The 2-12 type mainly hits finances with some health concerns on the side.
These effects do not happen automatically. How strong Venus is, where Jupiter sits, and which Dasha both partners are running — all shape whether these problems actually show up.

When It Cancels Automatically
Most families see this flag and stop the match right away. That is the wrong first step.
The right first step is checking whether it actually runs active in the full chart. Classical Vedic astrology gives clear bhakoot dosha cancellation rules. When these rules apply — the concern goes away completely and the marriage is absolutely fine.
Four Ways It Cancels
Way 1 — Same Moon Sign Lord
When both partners’ Moon signs have the same ruling planet — it cancels on its own completely.
Aries and Scorpio both have Mars as their lord. Even though they sit in a 6-8 position — the shared Mars lord cancels shadashtak dosha fully. Taurus and Libra both have Venus — the same automatic cancellation applies here too.
Way 2 — Friendly Moon Sign Lords
When the ruling planets of both Moon signs are natural friends — it gets much weaker. Many astrologers treat this as a full cancellation. The friendship between the planets fixes the problem between the positions.
Way 3 — Same Moon Sign
When both partners share the exact same Moon sign — no bhakoot dosha in kundli matching forms at all. Same Moon sign means full compatibility in this category automatically.
Way 4 — Strong Overall Score
When the total score sits above 28 out of 36 and this is the only weak area — many experienced astrologers say the match can work well with the right remedies in place.
Remedies That Actually Work
Bhakoot Dosha Nivaran Puja — Do This First
Bhakoot dosha nivaran puja is the most important remedy when it runs active. Both partners worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi together before the wedding takes place.
Both must do this puja together — not separately. An experienced astrologer picks the right date and time from both birth charts. Doing it at the wrong time makes it much less effective.
Vishnu-Lakshmi Worship Every Friday
Both partners pray to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi together every Friday. This helps with the money problems and emotional distance that come with this concern — especially in the 2-12 and 6-8 types.
Reading Vishnu Sahasranama together regularly helps both partners feel more connected over time.
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra for the 6-8 Type
For shadashtak dosha — both partners chant this mantra 108 times every day together:
“Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam, Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat”
This mantra helps protect both partners from the health concerns that come with the most serious type.
Make the Moon Stronger in Both Charts
Both partners chant the Chandra Mantra — “Om Shram Shreem Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah” — 108 times every Monday morning. Both wear white on Mondays and give white things — rice, milk, white cloth — to people in need.
Making the Moon stronger helps fix the moon sign compatibility marriage gap that sits at the core of this concern.
Why Most Couples Get the Wrong Answer
Most couples use a free online calculator. They see the flag. They panic and to make a big life decision based on one number.
A calculator only checks the Moon sign position. It does not check whether the lords share the same planet. It does not check planetary friendship. This does not read Venus, Jupiter, or Dasha compatibility. It just shows the flag and stops there.
Get a complete kundli matching compatibility check done by a real Vedic astrologer — not just a calculator. Our astrologers at PrashnaKundli check every cancellation rule, read the full chart, and give you a clear answer you can trust completely.
