Bhakoot dosha (भकूट दोष)
What it means
The two Moon signs are 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 places from each other, so the Bhakoot koota scores 0 out of 7.
Traditional cancellation rules
- Both Moon signs have the same lord
- The two Moon-sign lords are mutual friends
- Tara koota is full (accepted by some texts)
Taramilan checks these rules automatically and shows which one applies, if any.
An honest view
Bhakoot looks only at Moon signs. Tradition itself treats it as cancellable, and it cannot decide a relationship on its own.
