Taurus and Cancer Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 8–9/15, Love & Marriage
Taurus and Cancer Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Taurus (Vrishabh rashi, ruled by Venus) for one partner and in Cancer (Kark rashi, ruled by Moon) 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.
Taurus–Cancer 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 | Cancer groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Taurus is Brahmin, Cancer is Shudra | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Taurus is Chatushpada (four-legged), Cancer is Jalachara (water) | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Venus and Moon | 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: Taurus and Cancer Moon-Sign Distance
Cancer is the 3rd sign from Taurus, 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: Venus and Moon
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Cancer by Moon. 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 Cancer in Love
In love, Taurus is devoted and steady while Cancer is tender and loyal. Earth and Water are natural partners — Water nourishes, Earth gives shape. Security and care come easily.
Taurus is an Earth sign and Cancer 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.
Taurus and Cancer 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, Cancer brings empathy and loyalty.
Areas to manage: Taurus's stubbornness and Cancer's moodiness. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.

- Nadi (8) — the most heavily weighted koota; Nadi dosha is checked before any marriage
Two Taurus–Cancer couples can end up anywhere from about 8 to 30 out of 36 depending on their nakshatras. Mangal (Manglik) dosha is also checked separately.
