Virgo and Cancer Compatibility: Guna Milan Score 11–12/15, Love & Marriage
Virgo and Cancer Compatibility at a Glance
When the Moon is in Virgo (Kanya rashi, ruled by Mercury) for one partner and in Cancer (Kark rashi, ruled by Moon) for the other, the four rashi-based kootas of Ashtakoot Guna Milan score 11–12 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.
Virgo–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 | Virgo groom | Cancer groom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Spiritual outlook — Virgo is Brahmin, Cancer is Shudra | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | Mutual attraction — Virgo is Manava (human), Cancer is Jalachara (water) | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | Friendship of the sign lords — Mercury and Moon | 5 | 3 | 3 |
| Bhakoot | Moon-sign distance: 3/11 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Rashi total | 15 | 12 | 11 |
Maximum possible from these four kootas: 15. The scores above are calculated with the same rules as the Astroly Kundli Milan tool.
Bhakoot: Virgo and Cancer Moon-Sign Distance
Cancer is the 11th sign from Virgo, 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: Mercury and Moon
Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Cancer by Moon. 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.
Virgo and Cancer in Love
In love, Virgo is thoughtful and devoted while Cancer is tender and loyal. Earth and Water are natural partners — Water nourishes, Earth gives shape. Security and care come easily.
Virgo 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.
Virgo and Cancer Marriage Compatibility
Cardinal sets the direction and Mutable adapts around it. Smooth, if the Mutable partner's views are not steam-rolled. Virgo brings precision and diligence, Cancer brings empathy and loyalty.
Areas to manage: Virgo's over-criticism and Cancer's moodiness. Couples with this pairing usually do best when they agree early on roles, money and family expectations.
