Cancer and Cancer Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 15/15, Love & Marriage
Cancer and Cancer Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Cancer (Kark rashi, ruled by Moon) for one partner and in Cancer (Kark rashi, ruled by Moon) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 15 out of 15 — a strong base for marriage. There is no Bhakoot dosha.
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.
Cancer–Cancer 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 | Cancer groom | Cancer groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Cancer is Shudra, Cancer is Shudra | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Cancer is Jalachara (water), Cancer is Jalachara (water) | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Moon and Moon | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: Same sign (1/1) | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 15 | 15 |
Maximum possible from these four kootas: 15. The scores above are calculated with the same rules as the Astroly Kundli Milan tool.
Bhakoot: Cancer and Cancer Moon-Sign Distance
Cancer is the 1st sign from Cancer, which forms the Same sign (1/1) (एक ही राशि) placement. Both Moons sit in the same sign, so the pair shares emotional instincts and daily rhythms. Bhakoot gives full marks; the watch-out is that shared blind spots are not balanced by the partner.
Graha Maitri: Moon and Moon
Both signs are ruled by Moon, so the sign lords are the same planet — Graha Maitri gives the full 5 points and the couple tends to think alike.
Cancer and Cancer in Love
In love, Cancer is tender and loyal while Cancer is tender and loyal. Two Water signs understand each other without words. Emotional depth is high; the risk is moods feeding off each other.
Cancer is a Water sign and Cancer a Water 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.
