Taurus and Aries Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 2–3/15, Love & Marriage
Taurus and Aries Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Taurus (Vrishabh rashi, ruled by Venus) for one partner and in Aries (Mesh rashi, ruled by Mars) 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.
Taurus–Aries 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 | Taurus groom | Aries groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Taurus is Brahmin, Aries is Kshatriya | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Taurus is Chatushpada (four-legged), Aries is Chatushpada (four-legged) | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Venus and Mars | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 2/12 — Dwirdwadash | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 3 | 2 |
Maximum possible from these four kootas: 15. The scores above are calculated with the same rules as the Astroly Kundli Milan tool.
Bhakoot: Taurus and Aries Moon-Sign Distance
Aries is the 12th sign from Taurus, 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 Venus and Mars 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: Venus and Mars
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Aries 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.
Taurus and Aries in Love
In love, Taurus is devoted and steady while Aries is passionate and direct. 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.
Taurus is an Earth sign and Aries 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.
Taurus and Aries Marriage Compatibility
Cardinal starts, Fixed sustains. A productive split — as long as the Cardinal partner does not rush the Fixed one. Taurus brings stability and loyalty, Aries brings courage and leadership.
Areas to manage: Taurus's stubbornness and Aries's impatience. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.

What the Rashi Score Does Not Cover

- Gana (6) — temperament: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa
- Nadi (8) — the most heavily weighted koota; Nadi dosha is checked before any marriage
Two Taurus–Aries couples can end up anywhere from about 2 to 24 out of 36 depending on their nakshatras. Mangal (Manglik) dosha is also checked separately.
