Moon sign compatibility · Often below 18 on Moon signs alone
Sagittarius and Capricorn Moon Sign Compatibility
With the groom's Moon in Sagittarius and the bride's in Capricorn, classical guna milan can land anywhere from 8.5 to 25 of 36. Across the 81 combinations of birth-star quarters the two signs allow, the average is 18.9. Only 48% 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 Sagittarius and the bride's in Capricorn. Two kutas — Varna and Gana — are scored from the groom's side, so the reverse pairing has its own page. Groom Capricorn, bride Sagittarius → हिंदी में पढ़ें
The four sign-level kutas contribute 5 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 Sagittarius–Capricorn couple.
- Varna — 1/1. Sagittarius is classed Kshatriya and Capricorn Vaishya. The convention gives the point when the groom's class is equal or higher, as it is here.
- Vashya — 1/2. Sagittarius counts as a quadruped sign and Capricorn as a water 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. Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius) and Saturn (lord of Capricorn) are neutral both ways, worth 3 of 5.
- Bhakoot — 0/7. Capricorn is the 2nd sign from Sagittarius, and Sagittarius the 12th from Capricorn — 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: Jupiter is neutral towards Saturn.
What depends on the birth stars
Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are read from the two birth stars (nakshatras), not the signs. A Sagittarius Moon can be in Mula, Purva Ashadha or the first pada of Uttara Ashadha; a Capricorn Moon in the last three padas of Uttara Ashadha, Shravana or the first two padas of Dhanishta.
- 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 Mula and the bride's in Shravana.
- Yoni (1–4 of 4). Full 4 when both Moons share an animal — monkey, for example, with Purva Ashadha and Shravana (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 Sagittarius, Mula is rakshasa; Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha are manushya. In Capricorn, Uttara Ashadha is manushya; Shravana is deva; Dhanishta is rakshasa. Gana scores 6 in 28% of combinations and 0 in 27%. The commonest pairing is a manushya groom with a deva bride (20 of 81).
- Nadi (0–8 of 8). 15 of 81 combinations (19%) share a nadi and score 0 — nadi dosha — for example Purva Ashadha with Dhanishta. 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 | 42% | 34 |
| 18 – 23½ | 33% | 27 |
| 24 – 29½ | 15% | 12 |
| 30 – 36 | 0% | 0 |
The highest score, 25, comes with the groom's Moon in Purva Ashadha and the bride's in Uttara Ashadha; the lowest, 8.5, with Purva Ashadha and Dhanishta, where Nadi and Gana score zero.
Capricorn is 2nd from Sagittarius (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 2nd — family, speech, resources — so her emotional style tends to shape how the household talks and spends.
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.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Capricorn by Saturn. Jupiter-ruled Moons tend to steady themselves through principle, meaning and generosity; Saturn-ruled Moons tend to be reserved at first and to show feeling through reliability. By nature Jupiter regards Saturn as neutral, and Saturn regards Jupiter 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 Sagittarius Moon groom compatible with a Capricorn Moon bride?
By guna milan alone, the score for this pairing ranges from 8.5 to 25 of 36, averaging 18.9, and 48% 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 Sagittarius and Capricorn?
Yes. Capricorn is 2nd from Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius?
A little. Varna and Gana are scored from the groom's side, so if the bride is Sagittarius and the groom Capricorn the range becomes 7.5–24 with an average of 18.2 (against 18.9 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 Purva Ashadha and a bride with Moon in Uttara Ashadha, scoring 25. 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.
