Short answer
Bhakoot dosha appears when the Moon signs are 2-12, 5-9 or 6-8 from each other. It is cancelled if the rashi lords are the same or friendly, so it should always be checked before rejecting a match.
The detail behind it
Traditional matching uses Ashtakoota gun milan (36 points across eight kootas) plus a Manglik check. A careful astrologer then compares the two full charts, because a high score with a weak 7th house can still be a poor match.
Houses that matter here
| House | Name | Themes |
|---|---|---|
| 7th | Kalatra Bhava | marriage and spouse, partnerships and business deals |
| 8th | Ayu Bhava | longevity, sudden events and inheritance and in-laws |
| 2nd | Dhana Bhava | savings and wealth, family and speech |
