Bhakoot Dosha is one of the eight Kootas used in Kundli Milan or horoscope matching in Vedic astrology. It carries 7 out of 36 points in the Ashtakoota system and represents the emotional, physical and children happiness between partners after marriage.

Bhakoot is based on the Moon signs of the bride and groom. The distance or angle between their Moon signs determines whether Bhakoot Dosha is present. Certain combinations like 6-8, 9-5, or 12-2 between Moon signs are considered inauspicious, creating Bhakoot Dosha.

This Dosha is important because it can indicate potential issues related to health, emotional connection, financial growth, and even childbirth. A strong Bhakoot Dosha may lead to misunderstanding, lack of intimacy, or long-term incompatibility. If other factors are prevailing Bhakoot dosha can give divorce.

However, Bhakoot Dosha is not always a deal-breaker. There are conditions where marriage can be considered depite Bhakoot dosha but you need to get your chart checked through a good astrologer. When Bhakoot is there, it is very important to do a graha milan(matching of the planets in both charts).

In short, Bhakoot Dosha should never be ignored it indicates underline issues in compatibility that is why astrologers give it serious weight during Kundli matching.
