Mesha and Karka rashi milan · मेष और कर्क
In Vedic guna milan, an Aries (Mesha) and a Cancer (Karka) Moon sign score 12 / 13 of the 15 points that depend on the signs alone (the first figure when the man is an Aries); with both birth stars the total runs from 21.5 to 30.5 of 36, and 100% of star pairs reach the classical minimum of 18.
The sign points (15 of the 36)
| Koota | Out of | Aries man, Cancer woman | Cancer man, Aries woman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha maitri | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Sign points | 15 | 12 | 13 |
The sign lords are Mars and the Moon: Mars counts the Moon as a friend, and the Moon counts Mars as neutral.
The 4th and 10th from each other: no Bhakoot dosha, full 7 points; classically home and work support each other.
Varna and Vashya depend on who is the groom and who is the bride, so the two directions differ.
With the birth stars (out of 36)
Each sign holds nine nakshatra padas: the full Ashtakoota (North Indian tables) for all 81 combinations.
| Aries man, Cancer woman | Cancer man, Aries woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 21.5 | 22.5 |
| Highest | 29.5 | 30.5 |
| Average | 24.8 | 26.2 |
| 18 or more (the classical minimum) | 100% | 100% |
| Nadi dosha | 30% | 30% |
18 is the classical minimum, 25–32 is good. Nadi dosha has classical exceptions too; the full match shows them.
Match the two full kundlis
The signs decide only 15 of the 36 points. With both dates, times and places of birth: all 36 points, the Nadi and Bhakoot exceptions, Manglik and the likely marriage windows, free.
Aries with every sign
Cancer with every sign
These are Moon signs (rashi), the sign the Moon was in at birth, which Vedic matching uses; a Western Sun sign is usually a different sign. Find your Moon sign. Guna milan is one input; a marriage is decided by the full charts, the families and your own judgement.
