Aries and Taurus Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 2–3/15, Love & Marriage
Aries and Taurus Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Aries (Mesh rashi, ruled by Mars) for one partner and in Taurus (Vrishabh rashi, ruled by Venus) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 2–3 out of 15 — a difficult base for marriage. A Bhakoot dosha forms and is not cancelled at sign level.
These scores use the Moon sign (rashi), not the Western Sun sign. The remaining 21 of the 36 gunas depend on each partner's nakshatra, so a full Kundli Milan with both birth details is always the final word.
Aries–Taurus Guna Milan: the Rashi Kootas
Only Varna depends on who is the groom — that is why two columns are shown.
| Koota | What it measures | Out of | Aries groom | Taurus groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Aries is Kshatriya, Taurus is Brahmin | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Aries is Chatushpada (four-legged), Taurus is Chatushpada (four-legged) | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Mars and Venus | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 2/12 — Dwirdwadash | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 2 | 3 |
Maximum possible from these four kootas: 15. The scores above are calculated with the same rules as the Astroly Kundli Milan tool.
Bhakoot: Aries and Taurus Moon-Sign Distance
Taurus is the 2nd sign from Aries, which forms the 2/12 — Dwirdwadash (द्विर्द्वादश) placement. The signs are next to each other. Classical texts link the 2/12 placement to friction over money, spending and family expectations, which is why Bhakoot scores it 0 unless the rashi lords rescue it. The lords Mars and Venus are not mutual friends, so the dosha is not cancelled at sign level. It can still be offset in a full chart — strong Graha Maitri, a same-nakshatra-lord link or a high overall score are the usual remedies an astrologer checks.
Graha Maitri: Mars and Venus
Aries is ruled by Mars and Taurus by Venus. In classical planetary friendship these lords are not friends, giving 0 of 5 points. Graha Maitri is read as mental compatibility — how easily the two agree, argue and make up.
Aries and Taurus in Love
In love, Aries is passionate and direct while Taurus is devoted and steady. Fire wants speed, Earth wants certainty. When Fire's initiative meets Earth's follow-through the pair gets a lot done; when not, it is impatience versus caution.
Aries is a Fire sign and Taurus an Earth sign; the Moon in each shows what makes that partner feel safe, which is why rashi matching is used for marriage in India rather than Sun signs.
Aries and Taurus Marriage Compatibility
Cardinal starts, Fixed sustains. A productive split — as long as the Cardinal partner does not rush the Fixed one. Aries brings courage and leadership, Taurus brings stability and loyalty.
Areas to manage: Aries's impatience and Taurus's stubbornness. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.

What the Rashi Score Does Not Cover

- Nadi (8) — the most heavily weighted koota; Nadi dosha is checked before any marriage
Two Aries–Taurus couples can end up anywhere from about 2 to 24 out of 36 depending on their nakshatras. Mangal (Manglik) dosha is also checked separately.
