Bhakoot dosha
Bhakoot dosha arises in Kundli matching when the two Moon signs are 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 from each other, scoring 0 of 7 points. It is commonly cancelled when the two Moon-sign lords are the same or friends.
Also known as: Bhakut dosha, Bhakoot dosh
The three forms have their own names. Dwirdwadasha (2/12) is linked with expenses, Navapanchama (5/9) with children and outlook, and Shadashtaka (6/8) with friction and well-being. The 6/8 form is usually treated as the most serious.
Classical cancellations are widely applied. The dosha is set aside when both Moon signs share the same lord (Aries and Scorpio, ruled by Mars; Taurus and Libra, by Venus; Capricorn and Aquarius, by Saturn) or when each lord counts the other as a natural friend. Some traditions add further exceptions.
So a 0 for Bhakoot often looks worse on paper than it is. Check the cancellations first, then look at the full charts with a qualified astrologer before drawing any conclusion.
