The general condition for star matching is to count from the Girl's star; however in some parts of India, they do
count from the boy's star for a match. It would look odd, if counted from a Grill's star the horoscope and nakshatra
might match fine, but if same is done from the boy's star, it might give a contradicting verdict! Though the best
suitable and suggested stars are mentioned, in one or two cases, it is likely that you will find the Rasi as 6th or 8th
houses from boy's or' girl's star (Sashta-Ashtakam known as Sashtashtakam). There is always an exception for
some constellations viz. Makam, Mrigaseersham, Thiruvathirai, Swathi & Poorattathi which are considered for match
even if Sashtashtaka Dosham is present.

In my humble opinion, whether it is Rasi Sashtashtakam or Lagna Sashtashtakam, it is best to avoid these matches.
Though, there won't be any critical problem with this Rasi Sashtakam, if matched, the couple will disagree in every
single matter and lead a life with quarrel (& fight!) daily, thus losing mental peace and happiness. It is said, the 6th
& 8th Houses denote enmity & longevity in general, the brain wave clash occurs more frequently. However, in a few
exceptional cases, I did come across, the couples are more co-operative, understanding and fond of each other,
despite the presence of sixth & 8th house match; in these cases, though the Rasi stands to be opposing, the
nakshatra lords are friendly or equal! Only in this context, it is suggested to avoid. I need to put this here, as
some of the visitors asking for clarification, when a star is in the 8th house of the moon sign from the boy or girl,
how this can be matched! Also, to avoid confusion, I omitted the second best suited stars, which too confuses
them when it comes to star match. Even if Dina porutham is not there. you can certainly consider other aspects if it
is of not Same Rajju. (in a very few exceptional cases, it is stated that the Pada Rajju is not of much harmful and
can be considered.)
 Note: For Aswini, Makam, Thiruvathirai, Mrigaseersham, Swathi & Uthirattathi stars Same Rajju is
acceptable. These are the only Starts that gets an Exception for Rajju match. If it is the same star for boy
and girl then it is considered for alliance, but in general inter-alia within the above six other stars, then not
considered in general. Star matching can be considered if most of the other aspects are scoring on the higher side.
