Karka and Vrishchika rashi milan · कर्क और वृश्चिक
In Vedic guna milan, a Cancer (Karka) and a Scorpio (Vrishchika) Moon sign score 6 of the 15 points that depend on the signs alone; with both birth stars the total runs from 10.5 to 26 of 36, and 70% of star pairs reach the classical minimum of 18.
The sign points (15 of the 36)
| Koota | Out of | Cancer man, Scorpio woman | Scorpio man, Cancer woman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha maitri | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Sign points | 15 | 6 | 6 |
The sign lords are the Moon and Mars: The Moon counts Mars as neutral, and Mars counts the Moon as a friend.
The 5th and 9th from each other (navam-pancham): classically a Bhakoot dosha, read for children and a shared outlook, so Bhakoot gives 0 of 7.
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, Scorpio woman | Scorpio man, Cancer woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 10.5 | 11.5 |
| Highest | 26 | 26 |
| Average | 20.0 | 20.1 |
| 18 or more (the classical minimum) | 70% | 70% |
| 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
Scorpio 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.
