Capricorn and Scorpio Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 8–9/15, Love & Marriage
Capricorn and Scorpio Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Capricorn (Makar rashi, ruled by Saturn) for one partner and in Scorpio (Vrishchik rashi, ruled by Mars) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 8–9 out of 15 — a workable 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.
Capricorn–Scorpio 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 | Scorpio groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Capricorn is Brahmin, Scorpio is Shudra | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Capricorn is Jalachara (water), Scorpio is Keeta (insect) | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Saturn and Mars | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 3/11 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 9 | 8 |
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 Scorpio Moon-Sign Distance
Scorpio is the 11th sign from Capricorn, which forms the 3/11 (तृतीय-एकादश) placement. A 3/11 placement is read as supportive: one partner's efforts feed the other's gains. Bhakoot gives full marks and the pairing tends to be sociable and practical.
Graha Maitri: Saturn and Mars
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Scorpio by Mars. 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 Scorpio in Love
In love, Capricorn is committed and steady while Scorpio is deep and transformative. Earth and Water are natural partners — Water nourishes, Earth gives shape. Security and care come easily.
Capricorn is an Earth sign and Scorpio 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.
