Cancer and Sagittarius compatibility
Karka and Dhanu rashi milan · कर्क और धनु
In Vedic guna milan, a Cancer (Karka) and a Sagittarius (Dhanu) Moon sign score 6–6.5 / 5–5.5 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 8.5 to 25.5 of 36, and 41% of star pairs reach the classical minimum of 18.
The sign points (15 of the 36)
| Koota | Out of | Cancer man, Sagittarius woman | Sagittarius man, Cancer woman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1–1.5 | 1–1.5 |
| Graha maitri | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Sign points | 15 | 6–6.5 | 5–5.5 |
The sign lords are the Moon and Jupiter: The Moon counts Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter counts the Moon as a friend.
The 6th and 8th from each other (shadashtak): classically a Bhakoot dosha, read for friction and patience, so Bhakoot gives 0 of 7.
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, Sagittarius woman | Sagittarius man, Cancer woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 9.5 | 8.5 |
| Highest | 25.5 | 24.5 |
| Average | 18.4 | 17.3 |
| 18 or more (the classical minimum) | 51% | 31% |
| 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.
Cancer with every sign
Sagittarius 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.
