The following is the table of Nakshtras Adi Reju Madhy Reju Anthya Reju --------------------------------------------------Aswathy-> Yama -> Krittika Ardra <Mrigrasiras <- Rohini <Punarvasu -> Pushya -> Aslesha Utra Phal <- Purva Phal <- Magha <Hasta -> Chitra -> Swathy Keta <Anuradha <- Vishakha <Moola -> Purvashada -> Utrashada Satabhishak<- Dhanishta <- Sravana<Purva Badra-> Utra Badra-> Revathy If the couples nakshatras fall in the same group, it is said be having Reju dosha. Middle group is considered to more potent in malefic influence and is Madhyama Reju. However, the affliction is considered less if the direction is different. That is (->) is called Arohi and (<-) is called avarohi. Both the nakshtras should not fall in the same type ie: Arohi or Avarohi. The same classification is used in what is called as Nadi Dosha. adi reju causes separation of couples, Madhya reju causes death of both Anthya reju causes death of one of the couple(Vaidhavya). Note: there is an opinion that there is no reju dosha among (Yama, Purva Phal, Purvashada) and (Pushaya, Anuradha, Utra Phal) and (Mrigasiras, Chitira, Dhanishta) sets are not very inimical since their lords are same. 2) Anga Reju Classification Arohi set Pada Reju Aswathy Kati Reju Yama Naabhi Reju Krittika Kanta Reju Rohini Shiro Reju Mrigasira

The nakshtras falling in the same group is considered to inauspicious. Ex: in the pada reju , aswathy with Magha, aswathy with moola or Magha with moola is considered to having reju dosha However, if they fall in the different set (arohi / avarohi) the affliction is considered to be much less. Ex: Aswathy with aslesha or aswathy with keta etc is considered to less inimical. Among the above Anga reju dosha, Kanta reju is considered to more inimical as it is supposed to cause death Kanta Reju Death Pada Reju Divorce or living separately, travel Kati Reju difficulties Naabhi reju Santha duritha, Santha Viraha Shiro reju Death - death of wife after the death of the husband. There are also other conditions where reju or nadi dosha is considered to less inimical apart from what was mentioned above. If both the nakshatras fall in the same sign. If the nakshtra lords are mercury, venus and Jupiter If the Chandra sign of one person is in the 7th of the other called sama sapthama If there is Reju dosha, classical works recommend doing Mrithyunjaya Havana and offer dana of gold and cow to Brahmins. There could other methods and some more exceptions involved. If there are not other afflictions and if the reju is arohi & avarohi and if the lagna in both cases are strong, the horoscopes could be matched. If otherwise, it is not good to match the horoscopes ie: if there is madhyama reju dosha and also other afflictions like dasa sandhi, vedha, 88th navamsa, etc. Hence, it is also balancing the afflictions between a set of worst kind of afflictions and strong benefic factors. In your case, your nakshatra is Utra Phalguni and your wifes is Hastha. You can see that it falls in the Adi reju category but in different set (Arohi / Avarohi) and hence the affliction is only minimal. A.G.Suresh Babu Shenoy
