Cancer and Capricorn compatibility
Karka and Makara rashi milan · कर्क और मकर
In Vedic guna milan, a Cancer (Karka) and a Capricorn (Makara) Moon sign score 9.5–10.5 / 8.5–9.5 of the 15 points that depend on the signs alone (the first figure when the man is a Cancer); with both birth stars the total runs from 12 to 29 of 36, and 56% of star pairs reach the classical minimum of 18.
The sign points (15 of the 36)
| Koota | Out of | Cancer man, Capricorn woman | Capricorn man, Cancer woman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1–2 | 1–2 |
| Graha maitri | 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Sign points | 15 | 9.5–10.5 | 8.5–9.5 |
The sign lords are the Moon and Saturn: The Moon counts Saturn as neutral, and Saturn counts the Moon as an enemy.
Opposite signs, 7th from each other (samsaptak): no Bhakoot dosha, full 7 points; classically a strong mutual attraction.
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.
| Cancer man, Capricorn woman | Capricorn man, Cancer woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 13 | 12 |
| Highest | 29 | 28 |
| Average | 21.2 | 19.9 |
| 18 or more (the classical minimum) | 56% | 56% |
| Nadi dosha | 44% | 44% |
Cancer man, Capricorn woman
- Punarvasu (groom) + Shravana (bride): 29/36
- Pushya (groom) + Uttara Ashadha (bride): 28/36
- Punarvasu (groom) + Uttara Ashadha (bride): 27/36
Hardest: Ashlesha + Uttara Ashadha 13, Pushya + Dhanishta 13
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.
Cancer with every sign
Capricorn 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.
