What do the Vedic Rashi kootas say about Sagittarius and Cancer?

On the Moon-sign (Rashi) kootas, Sagittarius (lord Jupiter) and Cancer (lord Moon) score 5/13 across Graha Maitri, Bhakoot and Varna. The classical Rashi kootas flag caution for Sagittarius and Cancer: Shadashtak (6/8) Bhakoot dosha. The 6/8 (Shadashtak) axis is the most serious Bhakoot dosha — a karmic tension around health, upheaval and control that demands maturity (and is often cancelled by a strong Graha Maitri or matching Nakshatras). Jupiter and Moon are friendly-to-neutral, giving an easy, cooperative mental rapport between the two. Such doshas are frequently *cancelled* (Bhakoot dosha nullification) when the Nakshatras align or the sign-lords are friends — which is exactly what a full Kundli Milan checks.

Is there any dosha between Sagittarius and Cancer?

The Rashi-level kootas flag Shadashtak (6/8) Bhakoot dosha. The 6/8 (Shadashtak) axis is the most serious Bhakoot dosha — a karmic tension around health, upheaval and control that demands maturity (and is often cancelled by a strong Graha Maitri or matching Nakshatras). Importantly, such doshas are often cancelled once the birth Nakshatras and sign-lord friendships are read in a full Kundli Milan — never judge a match on a single dosha alone.
