Moon sign compatibility · Often below 18 on Moon signs alone
Capricorn and Sagittarius Moon Sign Compatibility
With the groom's Moon in Capricorn and the bride's in Sagittarius, classical guna milan can land anywhere from 7.5 to 24 of 36. Across the 81 combinations of birth-star quarters the two signs allow, the average is 18.2. Only 44% of combinations reach 18, so on Moon signs alone this pairing more often lands below the traditional mark than above it. That describes two Moon positions, not two people.
Here the groom's Moon is in Capricorn and the bride's in Sagittarius. Two kutas — Varna and Gana — are scored from the groom's side, so the reverse pairing has its own page. Groom Sagittarius, bride Capricorn → हिंदी में पढ़ें
The four sign-level kutas contribute 4 of 15, and Bhakoot's zero accounts for most of the gap; the birth stars supply the other 3.5–20.
What the two signs settle
Four kutas compare the signs themselves, so they come out the same for every Capricorn–Sagittarius couple.
- Varna — 0/1. Capricorn is classed Vaishya and Sagittarius Kshatriya. The convention withholds the point when the bride's class ranks higher — swap the partners and it would score 1. Varna is the lightest and most dated of the kutas; the classes describe disposition here, not social standing.
- Vashya — 1/2. Capricorn counts as a water sign and Sagittarius as a quadruped one; the vashya table gives that 1 of 2. Some texts split Sagittarius and Capricorn across two groups by half-sign; this site uses one group per sign, so other calculators can differ by up to a point here.
- Graha Maitri — 3/5. Saturn (lord of Capricorn) and Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius) are neutral both ways, worth 3 of 5.
- Bhakoot — 0/7. Sagittarius is the 12th sign from Capricorn, and Capricorn the 2nd from Sagittarius — a 2/12 relationship, one of the three positions (2/12, 5/9, 6/8) that score zero. That zero is what is called bhakoot dosha. The usual softening — sign lords that are friends both ways — does not apply: Saturn is neutral towards Jupiter.
What depends on the birth stars
Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are read from the two birth stars (nakshatras), not the signs. A Capricorn Moon can be in the last three padas of Uttara Ashadha, Shravana or the first two padas of Dhanishta; a Sagittarius Moon in Mula, Purva Ashadha or the first pada of Uttara Ashadha.
- Tara (1.5–3 of 3). Full 3 in 19 of 81 combinations (23%); never below 1.5, because at least one direction of the birth-star count always lands on a favourable tara. The low end comes with, for example, the groom's Moon in Shravana and the bride's in Mula.
- Yoni (1–4 of 4). Full 4 when both Moons share an animal — monkey, for example, with Shravana and Purva Ashadha (19 of 81 combinations). No enemy-animal pairing is possible between these signs, so Yoni never falls below 2.
- Gana (0–6 of 6). In Capricorn, Uttara Ashadha is manushya; Shravana is deva; Dhanishta is rakshasa. In Sagittarius, Mula is rakshasa; Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha are manushya. Gana scores 6 in 53% of combinations and 0 in 27%. The commonest pairing is a deva groom with a manushya bride (20 of 81).
- Nadi (0–8 of 8). 15 of 81 combinations (19%) share a nadi and score 0 — nadi dosha — for example Dhanishta with Purva Ashadha. In 3 of those, a classical cancellation applies (the same nakshatra split across the sign boundary, in different padas).
How the 81 combinations score
| Score | Share | Of 81 |
|---|---|---|
| Under 12 | 10% | 8 |
| 12 – 17½ | 46% | 37 |
| 18 – 23½ | 30% | 24 |
| 24 – 29½ | 15% | 12 |
| 30 – 36 | 0% | 0 |
The highest score, 24, comes with the groom's Moon in Uttara Ashadha and the bride's in Purva Ashadha; the lowest, 7.5, with Dhanishta and Purva Ashadha, where Nadi and Gana score zero.
Sagittarius is 12th from Capricorn (2/12)
Where it tends to work
- Neighbouring signs differ in element, so each supplies something the other lacks.
- The bride's Moon falls in the groom's 12th — rest, retreat, the private life — so the relationship can become the place where he switches off.
Where it asks for effort
- Bhakoot scores 2/12 at zero; texts associate it with strain on shared finances. It is a statement about two Moon positions, not a forecast for a budget.
- The classical lord-friendship softening does not apply under this site's rule.
Element and ruling planets
Fire (Sagittarius) and earth (Capricorn) run at different speeds: one starts things, the other finishes them. When it works it is productive; when it doesn't, one partner feels hurried and the other held back. Element is not one of the eight kutas, so treat this as colour, not score.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Sagittarius by Jupiter. Saturn-ruled Moons tend to be reserved at first and to show feeling through reliability; Jupiter-ruled Moons tend to steady themselves through principle, meaning and generosity. By nature Saturn regards Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter regards Saturn as neutral. The feeling is neutral in both directions.
What this page can’t tell you
All of this comes from two Moon positions and nothing else. Guna milan does not see the ascendant, the 7th house, Venus, Mars or the dashas either person is running — and it cannot see how two people handle money, conflict or family. Real matching needs both birth charts; better still, it needs a conversation.

Common questions
Is a Capricorn Moon groom compatible with a Sagittarius Moon bride?
By guna milan alone, the score for this pairing ranges from 7.5 to 24 of 36, averaging 18.2, and 44% of nakshatra combinations reach the conventional 18. That is a statement about two Moon positions. Real compatibility depends on both full charts and, far more, on the two people — use it as a first look, not a decision.
Is there bhakoot dosha between Capricorn and Sagittarius?
Yes. Sagittarius is 12th from Capricorn, a 2/12 relationship, so Bhakoot scores 0 for every couple in this pairing. The usual softening — sign lords that are friends both ways — is not met. It is a traditional caution, not a prediction.
How likely is nadi dosha for this pair?
19% — 15 of the 81 combinations share a nadi. It depends entirely on the two birth stars, so only the exact nakshatras can tell you. 3 of those involve the same nakshatra in different padas, which the tradition treats as cancelled.
Does it matter which partner is Capricorn?
A little. Varna and Gana are scored from the groom's side, so if the bride is Capricorn and the groom Sagittarius the range becomes 8.5–25 with an average of 18.9 (against 18.2 here). For a same-gender couple the order shifts the total by at most a point or two.
Which nakshatras give the best result?
For this pairing the top combination is a groom with Moon in Uttara Ashadha and a bride with Moon in Purva Ashadha, scoring 24. But no nakshatra is a good or bad one to marry; the useful step is finding your own two — the nakshatra calculator does it in seconds — and then matching the full charts.
