Capricorn and Sagittarius Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 1–2/15, Love & Marriage
Capricorn and Sagittarius Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Capricorn (Makar rashi, ruled by Saturn) for one partner and in Sagittarius (Dhanu rashi, ruled by Jupiter) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 1–2 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.
Capricorn–Sagittarius 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 | Capricorn groom | Sagittarius groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Capricorn is Brahmin, Sagittarius is Kshatriya | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Capricorn is Jalachara (water), Sagittarius is Chatushpada (four-legged) | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Saturn and Jupiter | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 2/12 — Dwirdwadash | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 2 | 1 |
Maximum possible from these four kootas: 15. The scores above are calculated with the same rules as the Astroly Kundli Milan tool.
Bhakoot: Capricorn and Sagittarius Moon-Sign Distance
Sagittarius is the 12th sign from Capricorn, 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 Saturn and Jupiter 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: Saturn and Jupiter
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Sagittarius by Jupiter. 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.
Capricorn and Sagittarius in Love
In love, Capricorn is committed and steady while Sagittarius is free-spirited and honest. 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.
Capricorn is an Earth sign and Sagittarius a Fire 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.
Capricorn and Sagittarius Marriage Compatibility
Cardinal sets the direction and Mutable adapts around it. Smooth, if the Mutable partner's views are not steam-rolled. Capricorn brings responsibility and endurance, Sagittarius brings wisdom and enthusiasm.
Areas to manage: Capricorn's pessimism and Sagittarius's bluntness. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.

Challenges to Watch

What the Rashi Score Does Not Cover
- Tara (3) — birth-star harmony
- Yoni (4) — physical and intimate compatibility
- Gana (6) — temperament: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa
- Nadi (8) — the most heavily weighted koota; Nadi dosha is checked before any marriage
Two Capricorn–Sagittarius couples can end up anywhere from about 1 to 23 out of 36 depending on their nakshatras. Mangal (Manglik) dosha is also checked separately.
