Mrigashira & Ashlesha · Thirumana Porutham
2 / 10 Poruthams
Difficult match — several poruthams fail; a detailed astrologer review is strongly advised.
The 10 Poruthams
✗ Dina PoruthamCount from Mrigashira to Ashlesha is 5. This count is considered less favourable for the daily rhythm of the marriage.
✗ Gana PoruthamMrigashira is Deva gana; Ashlesha is Rakshasa gana. Deva-Rakshasa and Manusha-Rakshasa combinations are traditionally considered incompatible.
✗ Yoni PoruthamMrigashira has the Serpent yoni; Ashlesha has the Cat yoni. These yonis are neutral — acceptable compatibility.
✗ Rasi PoruthamMrigashira is in Taurus; Ashlesha is in Cancer. Count from one rasi to the other is 3. This rasi position is considered less favourable.
✗ Rasiyathipathi PoruthamThe lords of the two rashis are Venus and Moon, who are enemies. Enemy lords are traditionally considered unfavourable.
✗ Vasya PoruthamThe rashis do not have mutual control — the couple may need to work on influence and persuasion.
✓ Rajju PoruthamMrigashira is in the Madhya rajju group; Ashlesha is in the Antya group. Different groups — no Rajju dosha.
✓ Vedha PoruthamNo Vedha (obstruction) between these nakshatras.
✗ Varna PoruthamMrigashira has the Vaisya varna; Ashlesha has the Brahmin varna. Different varnas — traditionally considered less favourable.
✗ Nadi PoruthamMrigashira is Adi nadi; Ashlesha is Adi nadi. Same nadi — Nadi dosha is traditionally flagged (health/offspring concern).
Mrigashira is Deva gana (Serpent yoni, Adi nadi); Ashlesha is Rakshasa gana (Cat yoni, Adi nadi). Their rashis are Vrishabha and Karka, ruled by Venus and Moon.
