Compatibility breakdown
Vedic compatibility · Rashi Kundli Milan
Beyond the sun signs, Vedic astrology matches the two Moon signs (Rashis) across the Ashtakoota — the eight kootas of Gun Milan. Three of them can be read from the Rashis alone; here is how Cancer (lord Moon) and Taurus (lord Venus) score.
Moon and Venus sit in a neutral-to-inimical relationship — the two minds must work to meet each other halfway.
The 3/11 relationship is growth-and-gain — the partnership tends to prosper materially and supports each other's ambitions.
Cancer is Brahmin (Water) and Taurus is Shudra (Earth) — a wider gap in spiritual temperament, so each must honour the other's very different inner values.
Cancer and Taurus land in the workable middle of the Rashi kootas. Moon and Venus sit in a neutral-to-inimical relationship — the two minds must work to meet each other halfway. The 3/11 relationship is growth-and-gain — the partnership tends to prosper materially and supports each other's ambitions. The birth Nakshatras (Nadi, Yoni, Gana, Tara) decide the rest.
The remaining five kootas — Nadi (health & progeny, 8 pts), Bhakoot's nakshatra nuance, Gana (temperament, 6 pts),Yoni (intimacy, 4 pts) and Tara (destiny, 3 pts) — plus Mangal (Manglik) Dosha and Nadi-dosha cancellation need both birth Nakshatras and times. That is the full 36-guna Gun Milan, and it is free below.
