Nakshatra Matching
Match by birth star when you don't have birth times. Choose each person's nakshatra and pada; the result updates as you choose.
Don't know the pada? It only changes the result where a nakshatra spans two signs, or for Vashya in Sagittarius and Capricorn. The Moon sign beside each pada shows which.

Bhakoot dosha (2/12): present
One couple in two has Bhakoot dosha by chance, and it is not cancelled for about 26% of all pairs. Families who follow it usually consult an astrologer about the full charts and remedies. About Bhakoot dosha
Why the nakshatra is enough
Every one of the eight kootas compares the two Moons: their nakshatra, their sign, and in two signs which half the Moon falls in. A family that knows each person's janma nakshatra and pada, from a horoscope or a naming ceremony, has everything the guna score needs.
What it cannot give is Mangal dosha, which depends on Mars and the ascendant, or a reading of the two charts as a whole. For that, use full kundli matching with birth details. Don't know your nakshatra? Find it here.
