Capricorn and Virgo Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 12/15, Love & Marriage
Capricorn and Virgo Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Capricorn (Makar rashi, ruled by Saturn) for one partner and in Virgo (Kanya rashi, ruled by Mercury) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 12 out of 15 — a good 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–Virgo 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 | Virgo groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Capricorn is Brahmin, Virgo is Brahmin | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Capricorn is Jalachara (water), Virgo is Manava (human) | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Saturn and Mercury | 5 | 3 | 3 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 5/9 — Navpancham | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 12 | 12 |
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 Virgo Moon-Sign Distance
Virgo is the 9th sign from Capricorn, which forms the 5/9 — Navpancham (नवपंचम) placement. A 5/9 (trine) placement joins signs of the same element. Some classical texts treat it as a Bhakoot dosha concerning children, but the Astroly Milan engine, like most modern panchangs, scores it in full because the signs are trinal and harmonious.
Graha Maitri: Saturn and Mercury
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Virgo by Mercury. In classical planetary friendship these lords are friendly on one side, neutral on the other, giving 3 of 5 points. Graha Maitri is read as mental compatibility — how easily the two agree, argue and make up.
Capricorn and Virgo in Love
In love, Capricorn is committed and steady while Virgo is thoughtful and devoted. Two Earth signs build steadily. Shared practicality and loyalty make a stable home; the risk is routine replacing romance.
Capricorn is an Earth sign and Virgo 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.
Capricorn and Virgo 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, Virgo brings precision and diligence.
Areas to manage: Capricorn's pessimism and Virgo's over-criticism. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.

What the Rashi Score Does Not Cover

- Yoni (4) — physical and intimate compatibility
- Gana (6) — temperament: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa

Two Capricorn–Virgo couples can end up anywhere from about 12 to 33 out of 36 depending on their nakshatras. Mangal (Manglik) dosha is also checked separately.
