Sagittarius and Taurus Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 2–3/15, Love & Marriage
Sagittarius and Taurus Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Sagittarius (Dhanu rashi, ruled by Jupiter) 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.
Sagittarius–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 | Sagittarius groom | Taurus groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Sagittarius is Kshatriya, Taurus is Brahmin | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Sagittarius is Chatushpada (four-legged), Taurus is Chatushpada (four-legged) | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Jupiter and Venus | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 6/8 — Shadashtak | 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: Sagittarius and Taurus Moon-Sign Distance
Taurus is the 6th sign from Sagittarius, which forms the 6/8 — Shadashtak (षडाष्टक) placement. The 6/8 placement is the most serious Bhakoot dosha. Classical texts associate it with disputes, health worries and separation, and it scores 0 unless the rashi lords are the same planet or mutual friends. The lords Jupiter 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: Jupiter and Venus
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter 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.
Sagittarius and Taurus in Love
In love, Sagittarius is free-spirited and honest 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.
Sagittarius 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.
