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 Virgo (lord Mercury) score.
Moon and Mercury share a one-sided bond — one sign gives more warmth than it receives, so understanding takes conscious effort.
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 Virgo is Shudra (Earth) — a wider gap in spiritual temperament, so each must honour the other's very different inner values.
Cancer and Virgo land in the workable middle of the Rashi kootas. Moon and Mercury share a one-sided bond — one sign gives more warmth than it receives, so understanding takes conscious effort. 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.
