Here the groom's Moon is in Sagittarius and the bride's in Libra. Two kutas — Varna and Gana — are scored from the groom's side, so the reverse pairing has its own page. Groom Libra, bride Sagittarius → हिंदी में पढ़ें

The sign-level kutas contribute 9.5 of 15; the weak spot is Graha Maitri, the friendship of Jupiter and Venus. The birth stars add 2.5–16.5.

What the two signs settle

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

  • Varna — 1/1. Sagittarius is classed Kshatriya and Libra Shudra. 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 Libra as a human 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. Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius) and Venus (lord of Libra) are neutral one way and hostile the other, worth 0.5 of 5.
  • Bhakoot — 7/7. Libra is the 11th sign from Sagittarius, and Sagittarius the 3rd from Libra — 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 Sagittarius Moon can be in Mula, Purva Ashadha or the first pada of Uttara Ashadha; a Libra Moon in the last two padas of Chitra, Swati or the first three padas of Vishakha.

  • 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 Sagittarius, Mula is rakshasa; Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha are manushya. In Libra, Chitra and Vishakha are rakshasa; Swati is deva. Gana scores 6 in 25% of combinations and 0 in 31%. The commonest pairing is a manushya groom with a rakshasa bride (25 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 Chitra. None of them meets the usual classical cancellations.

The highest score, 26, comes with the groom's Moon in Purva Ashadha and the bride's in Swati; the lowest, 12, with Purva Ashadha and Chitra, where Nadi and Gana score zero.

Libra is 11th from Sagittarius (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

Fire (Sagittarius) and air (Libra) are the classic complementary pair: air feeds fire. Expect energy, ideas and a social rhythm that suits both, with the caution that neither element is naturally the one to slow down. Element is not one of the eight kutas, so treat this as colour, not score.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Libra by Venus. Jupiter-ruled Moons tend to steady themselves through principle, meaning and generosity; Venus-ruled Moons tend to look for ease, comfort and pleasantness. By nature Jupiter regards Venus as an enemy, and Venus regards Jupiter 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.

Common questions

Is a Sagittarius Moon groom compatible with a Libra Moon bride?

By guna milan alone, the score for this pairing ranges from 12 to 26 of 36, averaging 21.9, and 86% 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 Libra?

No. Libra is 11th from Sagittarius, a 3/11 relationship, which scores the full 7 points for every couple in this pairing.

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.

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 Libra the range becomes 11–26 with an average of 21.2 (against 21.9 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 Swati, scoring 26. 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.
