Bhakoot Dosha, popularly known as Rashi Koot Dosh, is essential during horoscope matching. It occurs when the Moon signs of expected couples form an unfavourable planetary combination. 

So, what is the exact meaning of Bhakoot Dosha?  We know that in Ashtakoota Milan, the best astrologer matches 36 Gunas. 7 Gunas out of these 36 Gunas are due to Bhakoot, and these are very important for harmony and emotional or financial stability between couples. So, what if Bhakoot is 0 out of 7? If Bhakoot is 0 out of 7, then it forms Bhakoot Dosh. We can put that because of Bhakoot Dosh couples lack understanding, they become emotionally detached, and they find it difficult to stabilise their married life.

Now, another question arises: what is the difference between Bhakoot and Nadi Dosh? Though both Nadi and Bhakoot Dosh are important during Janm Kundali matching, both these are different from each other.

Bhakoot dosh affects emotions, financial and practical compatibility between partners by affecting their Moon sign. At the same time, Nadi Dosh affects physical as well as generic compatibility between partners. It involves the biological and health aspects of couples. But these dosh affect marital harmony and peace, but the effect of Bhakoot Dosh is more direct.

Astrologers determine the type of Bhakoot Dosh through the distance between the Moon signs of the couple. Though Bhakoot combination is mainly of six types, only three among these are inauspicious, thus forming Bhakoot dosh:

1. Shadashtak Yoga

It is also known as 6–8 Bhakoot, meaning that the Moon signs of couples are six and eight houses apart. It causes tension, gives rise to arguments and frequent misunderstandings. Furthermore, it often leads to health problems and disturbs mental peace.

2. Nav Pancham Yoga

This type of Bhakoot dosh is also known as 9–5 Bhakoot. It occurs when the distance between the Moon signs of the couple is five or nine houses. So how will it affect the couples? Because of this, couples may have ego clashes, they may lack coordination, and there is a lack of stability. Further, one of the partners may feel ignored, resulting in a distance between the couple.

3. Dwadash Dwitiy Yoga

It is known as 12–2 Bhakoot. It causes financial problems or losses in married life. In addition, the couples may face difficulties because of different lifestyles or family responsibilities.

Apart from the above, the rest of the three combinations of Bhakoot are 1–1, 3–11, and 7–7. These combinations are favourable for couples and bring understanding and prosperity in married life.
 

What Are the Effects of Bhakoot Dosha?

The effect of Bhakoot Dosh depends upon the strength of other planetary combinations. In general, the impact of Bhakoot Dosh is:

*Couples may feel emotional disconnection. They find it difficult to understand each other's feelings. This may cause frequent arguments, ultimately resulting in a distance between couples.

* A strong Bakoot Dosh causes unexpected financial loss or problems in accumulating wealth.

*If this dosh combines with a weak Moon or afflicted 7th house, then it may cause disability or other physical problems.

*It may also affect the peace of the family by causing disagreement between family members. If you want to know that Bhakoot Dosha affects family life, then the answer is yes! It happens especially when Moon signs are in a relationship of  6–8 or 9–5. Further, in severe cases, it may result in delayed marriage, separation, or emotional detachment. However, this dosh does not ruin the relationship. The astrologers at Best Jyotish do a complete analysis of the Kundali before determining the true nature and impact of this dosh.

Though another question arises, can we marry a person having Bakoot Dosha? The answer depends upon the severity of this dosh. In many cases, favourable yoga in the Kundali neutralises the negative impact of this dosha. For instance:

*If the ascendant in the charts of the couple is compatible.

*When both partners'  zodiacs are benefic or friendly.

*When both partners have the same type of Bakoot Dosh.

*If the 7th house of any of the partner's Kundali has a strong benefic influence of Jupiter or Venus.

So, after a thorough horoscope check and analysis, you can marry the partner with Bakoot Dosh.
