Capricorn and Scorpio Moon Sign Compatibility

What the two signs settle

Four kutas compare the signs themselves, so they come out the same for every Capricorn–Scorpio couple.

• Varna — 0/1. Capricorn is classed Vaishya and Scorpio Brahmin. 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 Scorpio as an insect 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 — 0.5/5. Saturn (lord of Capricorn) and Mars (lord of Scorpio) are neutral one way and hostile the other, worth 0.5 of 5.
• Bhakoot — 7/7. Scorpio is the 11th sign from Capricorn, and Capricorn the 3rd from Scorpio — a 3/11 relationship, which Bhakoot scores in full.

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 Scorpio Moon in the fourth pada of Vishakha, Anuradha or Jyeshtha.

• Tara (1.5–1.5 of 3). Scores 1.5 in every combination.
• Yoni (1–2 of 4). No nakshatra in one sign shares a yoni animal with any in the other, so the full 4 is out of reach. 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 Scorpio, Vishakha and Jyeshtha are rakshasa; Anuradha is deva. Gana scores 6 in 32% of combinations and 0 in 19%. The commonest pairing is a deva groom with a rakshasa 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 Anuradha. None of them meets the usual classical cancellations.

How the 81 combinations score

The highest score, 26, comes with the groom's Moon in Shravana and the bride's in Anuradha; the lowest, 12, with Dhanishta and Anuradha, where Nadi scores zero.

Scorpio is 11th from Capricorn (3/11)

Where it tends to work

• From the groom's Moon, the bride's falls in the 11th — gains, friends, hopes — and from hers, his falls in the 3rd, courage and effort. Friendship tends to sit at the centre of this pairing.
• Bhakoot scores its full 7 for 3/11 under the North Indian convention used here (some South Indian rasi rules read these positions differently).

Where it asks for effort

• Easy companionship can stay at the level of good teamwork; depth has to be chosen, not assumed.
• The elements are complementary (fire with air, or earth with water) rather than identical, so pace and priorities still need negotiating.

Element and ruling planets

Earth (Capricorn) and water (Scorpio) is the nourishing combination — water softens earth, earth gives water a shape. It tends towards a settled, home-centred feel, sometimes at the expense of novelty. Element is not one of the eight kutas, so treat this as colour, not score.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Scorpio by Mars. Saturn-ruled Moons tend to be reserved at first and to show feeling through reliability; Mars-ruled Moons tend to feel quickly and say so. By nature Saturn regards Mars as an enemy, and Mars regards Saturn as neutral. The relationship is lopsided — one lord warmer than the other — a pattern Graha Maitri marks down without zeroing.

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.
