Moon sign compatibility · Depends on the nakshatras
Taurus and Leo Moon Sign Compatibility
With the groom's Moon in Taurus and the bride's in Leo, classical guna milan can land anywhere from 9.5 to 25 of 36. Across the 81 combinations of birth-star quarters the two signs allow, the average is 17.6. 56% of combinations reach 18 and the rest do not, so the exact nakshatras decide which side of the line a real couple falls.
Here the groom's Moon is in Taurus and the bride's in Leo. Two kutas — Varna and Gana — are scored from the groom's side, so the reverse pairing has its own page. Groom Leo, bride Taurus → हिंदी में पढ़ें
The sign-level kutas contribute 7 of 15; the weak spot is Graha Maitri, the friendship of Venus and the Sun. The birth stars add 2.5–18.
What the two signs settle
Four kutas compare the signs themselves, so they come out the same for every Taurus–Leo couple.
- Varna — 0/1. Taurus is classed Vaishya and Leo 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 — 0/2. Taurus counts as a quadruped sign and Leo as a wild one; the vashya table gives that nothing.
- Graha Maitri — 0/5. Venus (lord of Taurus) and the Sun (lord of Leo) are enemies both ways, worth 0 of 5.
- Bhakoot — 7/7. Leo is the 4th sign from Taurus, and Taurus the 10th from Leo — a 4/10 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 Taurus Moon can be in the last three padas of Krittika, Rohini or the first two padas of Mrigashira; a Leo Moon in Magha, Purva Phalguni or the first pada of Uttara Phalguni.
- 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 Rohini and the bride's in Magha.
- Yoni (1–3 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 Taurus, Krittika is rakshasa; Rohini is manushya; Mrigashira is deva. In Leo, Magha is rakshasa; Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni are manushya. Gana scores 6 in 52% of combinations and 0 in 38%. The commonest pairing is a manushya groom with a manushya bride (20 of 81).
- Nadi (0–8 of 8). 36 of 81 combinations (44%) share a nadi and score 0 — nadi dosha — for example Rohini with Magha. None of them meets the usual classical cancellations.
How the 81 combinations score
| Score | Share | Of 81 |
|---|---|---|
| Under 12 | 20% | 16 |
| 12 – 17½ | 25% | 20 |
| 18 – 23½ | 51% | 41 |
| 24 – 29½ | 5% | 4 |
| 30 – 36 | 0% | 0 |
The highest score, 25, comes with the groom's Moon in Rohini and the bride's in Uttara Phalguni; the lowest, 9.5, with Rohini and Magha, where Nadi and Gana score zero.
Leo is 4th from Taurus (4/10)
Where it tends to work
- The bride's Moon falls in the groom's 4th — home, comfort, emotional security — and his in her 10th, work and public standing. Roles often divide naturally between the inner and the outer life.
- Bhakoot gives the full 7 points for a 4/10 relationship.
Where it asks for effort
- Square signs differ in element and rhythm, so the same situation can feel urgent to one and trivial to the other.
- Home-versus-work priorities are the predictable friction point.
Element and ruling planets
Fire (Leo) and earth (Taurus) 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.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Leo by the Sun. Venus-ruled Moons tend to look for ease, comfort and pleasantness; a Sun-ruled Moon tends to want warmth, loyalty and a measure of respect. By nature Venus regards the Sun as an enemy, and the Sun regards Venus as an enemy. The feeling is unfriendly in both directions — classically the hardest Graha Maitri combination, and the reason this kuta scores nothing here.
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 Taurus Moon groom compatible with a Leo Moon bride?
By guna milan alone, the score for this pairing ranges from 9.5 to 25 of 36, averaging 17.6, and 56% 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 Taurus and Leo?
No. Leo is 4th from Taurus, a 4/10 relationship, which scores the full 7 points for every couple in this pairing.
How likely is nadi dosha for this pair?
44% — 36 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 Taurus?
A little. Varna and Gana are scored from the groom's side, so if the bride is Taurus and the groom Leo the range becomes 10.5–26 with an average of 18.5 (against 17.6 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 Rohini and a bride with Moon in Uttara Phalguni, 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.
