What is Bhakoot Dosha and how does it affect marriage?

Bhakoot Dosha happens when the Moon signs of the couple are 6-8, 9-5, or 12-2 positions apart. It can affect health, progeny, or financial harmony.

Bhakoot is worth 7 points in Guna Milan. It represents the interaction of the Moon signs (emotional compatibility and health).

Shadashtak (6-8 axis) is the most difficult, often leading to arguments and health issues. Navam-Pancham (9-5 axis) can cause issues with progeny or differing spiritual views. Dwi-Dwadash (12-2 axis) often leads to financial losses or emotional distance.

Like Nadi Dosha, Bhakoot Dosha can be cancelled if the lords of the Moon signs are the same or are friendly planets (e.g., Aries and Scorpio, both ruled by Mars).
